Editorial Opinion
EQUAL SUFFRAGE.
from the Dover State Sentinel.

From the Dover State Sentinel.
Two parades in Wilmington on
Saturday proved the fallacy of public
opinion upon two important subjects.
The Equal Suffrage parade, while
not imposing in the qualities politi-
cal of parades generally, was really
an impressive affair--it was impress
sive because of its orderly beauty
The participants marched we'll. There
was no loud yelling display of en-
thusiasm, but a markedly, sober, de-
termined expression befitting the
Importance of the matter in hand. It
must be borne in mind that this was
not a demonstration local to VIII
mington. or New Castle county, but
a demonstration of the Equal Suf-
frage folks all over the State, and
puts Delaware in line with the great
National movement that some day,
soon or late, is to onfranchise tho
Women of the Country.
The parade was greeted by as
large an outpouring of the people as
has recently. crowded the line of
march Just what the effect of the
demonstration was on the crowd of
Witnesses was not manifest, except as
sober thoughtfulness appeared to eX-
press wonder as to what all this
display really meant Doubtless the
general thought about it was like
that of a leading Delaware lawyer
about the comet that blazed a path
across the eastern sky a few years
ago; he greeted the comet, on his
first sight of 1t, as forerunner Of dis
astrous events to occur in the his
tory of the nation.

SEN. SMITH WINS VICTORY IN
THE SENATE.

From the Snow Hill Messenger.
The Baltimore newspapers without
an exception give II. S. Senator John
Walter Smith credit for having de-
feated the Federal Grain Inspection
bill of Senator McCumber in the SEN
ate last Friday The vote was taken
at six o'clock in the evening and re-
suited in a victory for the opposition
by a vote of 81 to 20.
Members of the Baltimore Chamber
Of Commerce declare if the bill had
passed it would have been disastrous
to the city export trade. Senator
Smith led the opposition to the pass
age of the bill, and has received
hearty congratulations for his able
and efficient generalship.
The law would have been very
detrimental to the Eastern wheat
growers, and it would have been
especially detrimental to the shipping
interests of Baltimore.
