AS the Women Voted.

The vote cast by Chicago women at the pri-
mary election in that city, furnishes inter-
esting study In equal suffrage. Out of regis
traitor of $4,000, total of 4T,b29 women cast
their ballots. but this is explained by inclement
weather and desire to husband their strength
for the real contest on April 7th. But II women
are apatheuc over primary. Il cannot be said
that the male voter is otherwise, the history
Of the primary generally will show. Among the
voters was a woman Of ninety-one, who, despite
her ripe old age, declared herself Progressive.
Another 10 cast her first vote ninety years
of age: she regarded the act as the GROWING

fame in Manila bay. Germany seems intent upon
to regard the episode as closed incl

Admiral Won Diederich has just published a
severe structure upon what he is pleased to con-
slider Deweys breach of official etiquette and
seeks to console himself and his nation by de-
claring that had admirals instruction to
board German ship been carried out, the first
attempting to execute same would have
been shot. Here the 'if plays an important
part, and whether Won Diederichs assertions
are retroactive bluff, none may say.

Dewey may have been angry: he doubtless
was angry, and justly He had cleared for

1t is interesting matter. of speculation to
picture the International muddle that would

have made her ally while Austria, still

CURRENT COMMENT
Shipbuilding In n Year.

Despite the progress made by other countries
In the shpbudng industry Great Britain still
leads the world by big margin in the tonnage of
commercial vessels built. During the twelve
months vessels were launched in Great Britain
to the enormous tonnage of 2206, 900. Nor was
this impressive showing attributable to Great
Britains large expenditures for ships of war.
The tonnage of the ships of launched in
Great Britain 1900 against $4,000
for the other nations of the world, while the tom
mage Of mercantile vessels In Great Britain was
800 600, as against 200, 900 in round numbers
for tho rest of the world.
These figures not edfying for Americans to
contemplate. Our navigation laws have practi-
cay driven the American flag from the high
seas. that the only tonnage now constructed
is for the coastwise and lake trades. How very
backward we are is shown by the figures: With
Great Britain showing a tonnage of 2,203.000,
Germany in second place. with $4,000 The
United States third, with 2Ss,000 against
Esq 600 for France
Although we have all the materials needed in
shipbuilding and an abundance OF skilled labor
and ought TO he able to build ships cheaply
as anybody there Is prospect that will in
crease our annual output OF tonnage until
navigation laws amended as to permit the
profitable operation Of an American ship after
it is buiIt.--New Orleans Picayune.

Advertising.

Editor Of The Richmond Virginian:
Sir--Mr. Bickers article 'Boycotting' is
timely The liquor people stand together. they
have three papers in Richmond upon which to
rely to look after their interests. The I'M
portance of the success Of The Nirginian as the
cxponant of the high moral sentiments Of the
best elements of this community and State can
not be overestimated.
If the liquor people are indeed boycotting or
the fear of it, keeps some advertisers from using
the columns of The Firginian, how imperative
il should be upon the part of purchasers to oh
serve the columns Of The Virgnian for ed-
vertisers and thus rebuke this ubiquitous under
