BUTCHERY UP-TO-DATE.
Dignified, peaceful, historic old Bos
ton is to the fore with the latest "thing
in human butchery. The Jordan hor
ror holds the stage for the moment by
reason of the rare cold-bloodedness
of the thing, and the absence of actual
murderous intent. The horrid excess
of the matter lies in the lengths to
which the young husband (after kil
ling his 23-year-old wife by knocking
her down stairs) went in destroying
the evidence of his terrible blunder;
in the brutal mutiliation of her body,
and the gross handling and packing
of the remains in a trunk. A man cool
enough to go to such extremes as this,
should it seems to us, have had wit
enough to employ nicer and more de
liberate means of concealment: he
might have used a couple of suit-cases,
if he had been a bit more skillful in
his carving and more adroit in the art
of packing; or, in the interest of real
expert demonstration in fin de siecle
slaughtering, he could have used candy-boxes
and embroidered paper and
expressed the stuff to fictitious people
across the continent; or, by giving
himself up to the actual artistic de
mands of the moment, he might have
reduced the body to charmlike propor
tions and mailed it, in jewell boxes, to
the leading murderers now in hock
throughout the country; as memen
toes of an accomplishment in their
line that would have been an eye-op
ener to the profession; or again to

THE INSURANCE BURDEN.
Astorian are wonderful'y patient as
general thing, and in. noth"g they
contend with is this trait so apparent
as in fln:r abidi ig the noto-ious ..!
burdensome 'ires hsnrance rate pre
valent hc-c. Th exceed pry tiling
applied to !:ke urriiory in the whole
Northwest and are a weight against
which all common sense and every
rule of business protests with exact
justification; but the patience of
the people seems impervious to the
strain and permits the continuance of
it without tangible and open protest
An analysis of the rates in this dis
trict, and their application, would op
en the eyes of the insured to a line of
imposition of which they are at the
moment unaware, but, if we are n
mistaken, would create a sudden sen
timent azainst which even the Sin
Francisco over-lords of the. business
would no longer contend, shameless
as they are in this particular instance
There is also talk of the existence
of certain discriminations that are in
vogue here, but what there is to thai
must be left to further inquiry no
afoot. The salient fact remains tha
Astoria is under a high-binder dictum
in the matter of rates and the sooner
slip chucks the whole business anJ
carries her own risks until she is fair
ly met on equitable terms, the better
for all concerned, and not the least
the companies doing business here

of America, he might have sliced the
poor girl into modern post-cards, pro
perly prepared, and stamped with
a brief intimation of their human
quality, and posed, for all time, as the
chief fiend of .his day and age.
This is all very raw and gross and
coarse, but not more so than the de
tailed story sent yesterday into every
home in the United States as news
matter. It. is one of the blighting
(and rankest), extremes to which
modern social life is subjected, in the
way of perpetuating, and magnifying
the bloodlust of a people.

magnificent reception such as was ne

to a Vaudeville syndicate before he
had caught a good home breath, is a
case in point and strongly indicative
of the spirit that yields so readily to
the intensely practical sign, "$."
It is easy to say that he is a poor
man; that he is not an athlete duly
trained to the great craft of sport of
which he is the world's .leader and
champion; that he needed the money,
that he was compelled to enter a new
range of endeavor, etc., etc.,; but, all
the same, the name and game of true
American sportsmanship suffers a di

the bid of the theatrical managers, and
his popularity will go down with a
pace co-equal with his cheap descent.

who hare no real sympathy with tho suffrage move
ment, who believe, indeed, that its results if success
ful would bo disastrous, that its success is none th?
less "inevitable." People are apt to think that when
in a democratic country a claim of this kind has been
asserted sufficiently long and with sufficient vehemence mere clamor
and insistence wear down opposition and the claim must ultimately be
granted. '
THE SUCCESS OF THE .MOVEMENT, -HOWEVER, IS
NOT "INEVITABLE" AT ALL, in spite of tho increased parlia
mentary vote or the skillful organization of a Ilydo park meeting.
Let me quote the example of America. After sixty years' agitation
for the movement generally is dated in America from the meeting
held in New York in July, 1848 THE WOMAN SUFFRAGE
DEMAND IS NOW IN PROCESS OF DEFEAT AND EX
TINCTION, AND THAT NOT AT TIIK HANDS OF MEN,
BUT AT THE HANDS OF WOMEN THEMSELVES.
8INCE 1894 INDEED, IN FIVE 6TATE3 THE SUFFRAGE CON
STITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS HAVE BEEN DEFEATED AT THE
POLLS, AND IN 1903 THE LEGISLATURES OF THIRTEEN 3TATES
REJECTED WOMAN 8UFFRAGE BILLS. OF ONE TYPE OR ANOTHER.
SCHOOL SUFFRAGE HAS BEEN SECURED FOR WOMEN IN TWENTY-FIVE
8TATE8, BUT THE STRIKING THING IS THAT THE SUF
FRAGE AGITATION AND THE "UNWISE PRESSURE BROUGHT TO
BEAR ON LEGISLATURES AND PUBLIC OFFICIALS" HAVE HINDERED
THE NATURAL PROGRE8S OF WOMEN IN THIS FIELD OF WORK
SO WELL 8UITED TO THEM. ,
We in England, however, are safe, thanks to the concession of the
local government vote to women and to the act of last year enabling
them to sit on local government bodies, from any similar reaction,
AND THERE CAN BE LITTLE DOUBT THAT AMERICAN
WOMEN, NOW THAT THE ANTISUFFRAGE MOVEMENT
HAS PRACTICALLY ATTAINED ITS END, WILL SOON
FIND MEANS AND CHANNELS BY WHICH THEIR LE
GITIMATE PUBLIC INFLUENCE IN MATTERS OF EDUCA
TIONAL AND SOCIAL REFORM SHALL BE MORE FULLY
BROUGHT TO BEAR.

Poor Rich People Can't

NOT THE READY CASH TO PAY THEIR BILLS.
The result is the merchant does not get his money to make
now irf hoses. And thm-efore business is at a standstill. It
is harder for a man who has been living at the rate of $200,000 a
year to get down to a $50,000 a year standard than for the man who
has been living on $15 a week to gel along on $10.
In August I expect there will be a revival, of the cry of ."hard
times,' as there always is in presidential years. It will be used by the
campaign collectors to get money from men of riches to elect a certain
candidate to bring a return of prosperity and a resumption of employ-,
ment for the workingmen and to restore confidence.
I look for SOME ' SLIGHT REVIVAL- OF BUSINESS
AFTER ELECTION. The crops are enormous and the: railroads
will have all they can do to move them this fall. The gross receipt'
will show a tremendous improvement, but on account of the high prict
of labor there will be no improvement in the net earnings. TIk
farmers will get the benefit, and although the railroads will bo Iras
they will not be making any money with which to purchase new mate
rials or to make improvements in roadbeds or extend their lines.

causing sharp knife-like pains in my
