when IL IL proposed to give TO the
women of this country an opportunity
to present their case TO the various
state Legislatures. to demand Of the
people of the country equality II politl-
cal rights. 1t is not surprising to ind
that tho reasons on which the contIu-
uance of the lnforiority Of women Is urged
are drawn almost entirely from q ten
der consideration Of their own good
The anxiety felt lest they should thereby
detcriornte would ne an honor to human
nature were 1t not a historical fact
that the same sweet suliCitude has been
put up as a barrier against every
progress which women have made since
civilization began.
II suffrage were a right II one man
had no claim to govern another man
except to the extent that the other man
ha. right to govern him. then there
could he no discussion ~ the qucsti, n OF
woman suffrage. No reason on earth can

up in those Of man that they are sure
to be protected, the answer is that the
same argument was urged as TO the
merging In the husband OF the wifc's
rights OF property, ana was pronounced
by the judgment Of mankind fallaclous

their natures are different. what right
can there be IN refusing representation
20 those who might take iuster Views
about many social and political ques-
lions?
II IL undoubtedly true that women
exercise strong political influence
through their husbands and brothers,
hut that is just the kind OF influence
which is not wholesome for the com
munlty. for II is influence unaccom-
panied by responsibility. The equal

The Dances Burden.

Now II Is IsADoRA DUNCAN Of the
waving cheesecloth and the uncov-
cred toes who declares that her ma
tive country has no love OF art. She
means her own art, as all who utter
this complaint inevitably do, and she
will return to France, which has re-
ceiyed her and the ideas she repre-
SCENTS with such cordiality.
Then ANNA PAvLowA. her colleague
Of the silk neshings and the tulle
skirts, Is dissatisfied with the degree
OF our progress in the dance. But
she will not petulantly pack up the
tulles of her trade and retire to Pc
trograd. She will even think OF re
naming in the United States until
the skill Of the citizens Is raised to
the high standard which she thinks
should prevail.
Since Miss DUNCAN is more likely
to depart first, her troubles should
first receive the consideration ~
those Compatriots distressed by her
frame of mind. She was the priest
ess OF new art of the dance when
she went abroad to study the princl-
pies which had only been suggested
here. When she returned to New
York in August year later, danced
the symphonies of BEETHOVEN in a
Long Acre Square theatre before
puzzled audience and found none Of
the appreciation she had looked for.
It was because the public that might
have been expected To take pleasu
in such eXpositions was not ut hand.
Later she was received with the most
cordial enthusiasm when her per.
fOrmances had at last been put before
the public in the right way. During
several seasons she always returned
to find the same enthusiasm. This
winter her pupils have been just as
much praised.
There were large audiences AMI
there was only praise so long as Miss
DUNCAN's pupils revealed the art she
had taught them. But when there
came inartiStic and amnteurish COM
blnations Of poor singing and unln-
terestlng defamation and Indifferent
orchestral performance as the cplt-
ONE OF the dancers art in It's present
estate, the enthusiasm was lacking
and 80 was the crowd. Miss Dun
CAN as n dancer has been warmly
praised by her countrypeople, but as
an Interpreter of various Greek phi
losophies through poetry and music,
both indifferently delivered, she does
not interest the public.
On with the dance. Let Joy he nm
confined. But the dance should never
be allowed to develop into that dis
agreeable attitude known as high
brow.
The case OF Mile. PAy1owA Is dif.
ferent. Her complaints are based on
the failure Of Americans 10 develop
their natural skill as dancers. With.
out saying that all our men might b.
MOrdkins and our women PavlowqI,
she implies such possibility. SO
she may be persuaded to remain here
and open a ballet establishment to
bring our young terpsichOrean ablll-
ties to the point Of development she
thinks they are capable Of rcachinE.
But that is not TO happen for years.
She will cease first to dance herself;
and the world hopes that will not be
for long time, even II our cultlva-
ton must wait. 1t Is the case of Miss
DUNCAN that Is really imminent,

Sees End of Virginia G. O. P

Never in the history of the Repuh-

has there been such widespread
dissatisfaction with Republican prfn-
ciples," said s. H. Styles, yesterday.
Thousands have denounced their all
legiance to the G. o. P. and publicly
acknowledged the faith and principles
Of Democracy; binding themselves to
vote the Democratic ticket in the
future and loud in their praises
of the present administration. In

party, NJ. E. Church. Ozias B. Liv-
ingston, L. L Northrup, and F. E.
Parker worked hard at the recent
Democratic primaries and, like ST.
Peter. denied and denounced every
thing that breathes Republicanism.
Judging from the action of many
prominent members of the party. this
movement is the beginning of the end
of the Republican party in tho State
of Virginia"
