AN UNTENABLE ASSERTION. The Pollard-Breckinridge breach of prom- 156 has furnished the text for many a sermon and lecture, in which it has served to illustrate and affirm several of the trite old trulsms about morality and virtue, but it waited until now to be turned to account as an argument in behalf of practical re- form of the suffrage. Referring to the di. made in this case in a speech favor- ing woman suffrage at New York last week, Miss Eliza Archibald Connor is reported to have said: “If woman had suffrage that unholy panorama of scandal now unrolling at Washington would have been unknown.” Why would it have been unknown? How would it been The too brief report of Miss Connor's specch fails to give us her answers, if indeed she attempted at all to support her assertion with facts or reasons. Siggest to the plaintiff in this suit that had she been allowed to vote she would not have entered into the relations with the defendant that were brought out the testimony and she would doubtless laugh the intimation to scorn. According to her story she at that time still too young to have exercised the suffrage had it been at woman's command. Mention to the defendant that he would not have dared to have approached the plaintift with his ad- vances had she been one of his voting con- stituents and he would regard the matter as utterly absurd. The mere possession of the suffrage by women could not have had the slightest direct influence upon this ‘“‘unholy panorama of scandal.” If it was meant that women with the right to vote would have enacted laws for the punishment of offenders against the public morals the answer is that punish- ment is not prevention. Such laws already exist quite gencrally. Where woman now exercises the suffrage the laws are no better enforced than where male suffrage is the rule, and scandals of a like nature to that referred to are unearthed at no less frequent intervals, Woman suffrage can no more abolish Human passions than it can make all women angels and all men saints. To at- tempt to use the Pollard-Breckinridge suit as an argument for woman suffrage is but a confession that the cause is in dire need of rational support. s a new pose that fondant trial.” to tin may show though there is no error in the record. the proceed to ailow nt th ing original peatedly refused that a evidence te had Now, prejudiced or biase he in the with slanderous as the Ivance of th with which contempt “a of new article as article the have prevented? by was MAN MARKET FOR BREADSTUFFS Germany is one of the largest buyers of American breadstuffs. This being the case the question as to what effect upon this trade the ending of the tarift war between Germany and Russia may have is an inter- esting one. The American consul at Frank- fort, Mr. Mason, has furnished statistics ot German grain importation to the State de- partment, and these seem to show that, al- though the special advantage this country has enjoyed over Russia It will not have any longer, Germany may still take a good deal of our grain. Even In years of abundant harvests, as Consul Mason points out, Ger- many is obliged to import breadstuffs, and it appears that the deficit in the home pro- duction increases in close proportion to the growth of poulation. Mr. Mason statos that the highest prices of wheat and rye were in 18 there duties, and the lowest prices were reached during the past when were no when the highest duties were enforced, leads him to observe that the pur- poses of the protecMve duties on bread- stuffs have not been achieved and the prices in Berlin been based on the prices in the world's grain, local condi- tions, The largest total importation of breadstuffs in 1879, the first a duty was imposed upon them, and the s in 1886, when prices were lower than in 1870, Finally, twenty ago the imports of rye much exceeded those o I8 now the case. year, which to hav and not on was year mall- much ye est was of wheat, while the reve Last year Germany imported wheat to the of 703,000 tons, of which 315,000 was supplled by the United States, whereas Russia supplied, owing to the tarif, | 21,000 tons.

The decision in the Jefferson square inar- ket is, under all the circum- most unfortunate for the people of A careful reading of the opinion however, patent the fact that under the pleadings and showing made by counsel for the city a different conclusion in the case could not well besn expected at tho hands of the court.

Section 62 of the charter provides that the mayor and council shall have power to market on any street, alley public grounds. The authority thus might have been invoked for the at Jefferson The con- 4 buildings need not have occupled of which might present condition in that the terms of the dedication be ated.

It this opinion shall be accepted as a guide In the location of the market house it will be the duty of the mayor and council to exercise the right of eminent domain as provided in section 64 of the charter. The city has the power to ap- propriate private property for public squares, market places, etc., the value of which is to be fixed by appraisement as provided by law. Such process will put a damper upon a few speculators who have sought to de- feat the will of the people in this market louse business in order that they might control the location to advance their per- sonal interests.

The bill introduced in the United States senate by Senator Morgan of Alabama, look- ing to the reorganization of the foreign serv- ice of the government so as to remove it from politics, proposes what has long been regarded by those who have given the mat- ter intelligent consideration as absolutely es- sentfal to render this service more efliclent and useful. The bill provides an educational qualification for appointments, to be ascer- tained by a board of examiners, and pre- seribes a comprehensive range of knowledge for those who want to get into this service. Ambassadors, envoys extraordinary and ministers plenipotentiary, and consular agents are exempted from the examination required. Appointments are to be permanent and provision is made for promotions. The measure also applies to appointments in the State department, other than the secrotary, assistant secretary and solicitor. The bane of our diplomatic and consular services for many years has been their sub- Jection to politics, and this is especially true of the consular service. Whereas in Buro- pean countries this service is a profession, which men enter to make it a life work and give to it their best ability and energy, here it is the prey of the politiclans. One of the most serlous charges against the present ad- ministration is the fact of wholesale re- movals of consuls for political reasons. It Is truo that some of these officlals who have shown exceptional ability aré retained, but a great many who had made a meritorious record were replaced for no other reason than they were not in political sympathy With the party in power., In the appoint- ment of new men to Ihw?n positions very little attention was given to qualifications, their selection being very largely dictated by political influence. Undoubtedly some of these men, possibly most of them, are com- petent, but it is notorious that some are not, and at any rate all of themn must be edu- cated in their duties and while this is going on the commercial interests which it Is the business of these officials to guard and pro- mote can hardly be so well cared for as they would have been by the consuls who were removed and who had become entirely familiar with their duties. Another fault of our system is that it lacks the incentive to the highest efficiency which promotion for merit affords, though of course it cannot be oth do wige 80 long s politics has anything to with removals and in the consuler nd tenure made de- pendent upon every change of administration, An article in the April number of the North A Review, by ex- Assistant Secr State Wharton, states that States tains about offices, a much larger number thau is required by the de- mands of commerce.

While it would have been entirely justified, in the cvent of the failure of the British gover ment to adopt the necessary legislation to carry out its part of the protection against pelagic sealing required by the decision of the court, it could hardly have failed to pro- duce some irritation, and might possibly have led to something more serious. The purpose indicatéd by the United States government very likely had the effect to bring Dritish government, which was undoubtedly more or les influenced by the Canadian government, to a tardy of its duty. At any rate the necessary legisla tion was proposed and passed, encountering very little opposition. : It is noteworthy that it was earnestly supported by Sir Charl Russell and Sir Richard Webster, both of whom appeared as counsel for Great Britain before the tribunal of arb!tration, and also by Mr. Balfour, the conservative leader in the House of Commons, who commended the course of the goveinment in moving the adoption of a bill to,carry out Great Britain's obligations as an act of international justice. Nearly coincident with this action of the British Parliament legislation for a like purpose was adopted by congre<s and at once approved by the president. Both countries having thus complied with the decision of the international tribunal there will be es- tablished a sixty-mile zone about the Pribylov islands, a close season from May 1 to July 31, and the prohibition of the use of guns, nets, explosives or steam vessels in seal fishing. The two governments will co-operate in enforcing the regulations, each furnishing an adequate naval force for properly patrolling the waters within the prescribed zone. Our government, it is un- derstood, has already made preparations to have a fleet in the Paclfic before the opening of the sealing season and it s to be pre- sumed that the British government will also have its vessels there in due time, though manifestly in order to do this there must be no further delay. Both governments are to be congratulated on the amicable settlement of this matter which to believe will not again be a source of controversy for many years and perhaps never. The ninth article in the decision of the court of arbitration provides that “the concurrent regulations shall remain in force until they have been in whole or in part abolished or modified by common agreement between the governments of the United States and of Great Britain."” The two governments are far more likely to maintain the regulations than to agree to abolish them and thercby reopen a con- troversy which has been amicably concluded and with the settlement of which the intelli- gent judgment of both countries seems to be well satisfled. under move. circles hat this the there is reason It is interesting to note that the woman suffrage campaign in New York state fs not to be an altogether one-sided affair, even when viewed from the woman's standpoint. The opposition to the bestowal of the suffrage upon women is making its appearance among their own ranks and several getic women have set to work to organize clubs under the name of the Nonsuffrage Association of American Womanhood. The line of their campalgn is to be against the burden of additional ' responsibility upon women tending to make them more mascu- line and less womanly. It Is to protest against the attempt to drag woman from the sphere which she has been occupying and which she has made peculiarly her own. When the forthcoming New York constitu- tlonal convention sees that the women who really want to exercisé the suffrage are so few it will go slow, before striking the word male from the ckuse prescribing the qualifications of voters. ener- Another session of the Iowa state legisla- ture has passed Into history, but its in history will not occupy many pages. place of Executive lobe, states b in_the sele The best oo good to trong Men for Ch Boston American late years ve been tion of man, in be that Too many careless of their chief executives. any state, is none state's governor, - Loud Breathings of the Shullows.

The Traveller of this city, which has been an carnest advocats of 'the construction of the Nicaraguan canal, recently sent out letters to the govs ernors of the various states and the more prominent members of congress, asking their opinfons as to the value of the canal to ths country, and whether or not the government should construct and control the waterway. Answers have been res celved from thirty-one governors and forty members of congress and are printed today. The governors of the southern states, without exception, are in favor of the govs ernment building ‘and controlling the canal outright or extending aid to whatever cor- poration builds it, Governor Waite of Colorado says: “The United States government, in conjunction with the Central American republics, should build this canal at national expense.’” Governor McGraw of Washington lieves that the United States should struct and operate the canal. Governor Hogg of Texas takes very pro- nounced grounds against the United States tering such an_enterprise while under private control. He says: “This govern- ment should prohibit forelgn or private ine terference with that canal, and should con- struct, own and operate it herself.” Govérnor Lewelling of Kansas declares that it would be desirable that the United Stutes should own and operate the canal as the exclusive property of the United States NG ot Governors of § pounded by t BOSTON, April 7. be- con=+ and sellor arth, ke THE COMING MAN.
