She Is At Home In Australia, Wher She May Vote and Hold Office. Philadelphia Ledger. Austra!ia is the most experimenta of all countries and is the provin ground for all the advanced ideas re specting the arbitration of labor dis putes. state ownership of control o public utilities and the ballot. Wheth er these experiments succeed or fai in practice. Australia is doing th< rest of the world some service as ai object lesson. A contribution t< the current number of the "Nine teenth Century and After." by a Mel bourne woman, on "The Politica Woman in Australia," presents an in teresting resume of the progres! made in the political emancipatioi of woman under the most favorabl circumstances. The writer rejoices in the fact tha the country has granted her sex ab . solute political equality with rpen and has thereby reached " a positioi unique in the world's history." Th< Australian constitution is peculiar iz that it has no sex limitations. Th< women enjoy the right to vote equal Iy with men, may become member! of the legislature and hold other of fices. It required about twent: years to persuade the Australian wo man to ask for the franchise; but i nnally became their possession, an< had a marked influence upon'the re cent federal elections. when the wo men voted in as large numbers pro portionately as the men in most o the constituencies. The writer notes that the women as a rule, voted for the candidate: who stood for economy in public ex penditures and for careful nationa housekeeping. To the assertion com monly heard wherever woman suf frage is urged, that women will voti as the men desire, the writer replie: that the elections showed that th women, on the whole, voted with in dependence: at any rat e, that the: did not vote a straight or a "ma .-chine" ticket as faithfully as th men did. "Voting means responsibility. re -sponsibility means power, and powe commands respect." is her epigram matic answer to the charge that b: the extension of the franchise to wo man she will lose the "chivalrous at tention" of the men. She says tha the very candidates who had pre viously held that women would los the respect of men by voting wer th.e most assiduous in courting th worren's vote. "The Sir Walte Baleighs and De Lorgec are :hick a leaves in Vallombrosa at electio time." The writer herself was a candidat for the senate of Victoria and was d feated, but there were eighteen car didates in the field, and she finds er couragement in the returns, whic gave her 51,497 votes, when 85,3~ were sufficient to elect. She regard her vote as a great triumph, obtaine "in 'spite of the opposition of pos~ erful daily papers and the prejudic that a pioneer always encounters. She thinks that full enEranchisemeri for women in England must come b the action of the labor party, throug which woman suffrage has 'eeri mad a question of practical politics in Aus tralia, instead of remaining, as i. other countries, "the suffrage state in America excepted," a purely aca~ emic question. ELECTRIC MULE'S" SUCCESS indication That We Shall Get N< More Presidents From the Tow Path. We are not likely to get any mor4 esidents from the canal towpath en if we do, the party that nomi tes them will not be able to presen tures of them driving canal boa es The boy who reads the biog rapnies oi James A. Garneld anI . raham Lincoln %with the idea of lit erally foll.-wing in their footstep5. w.ill 1ind that rail fences have been Iaregly supplanted by wire ones. and that the "electric mule" has taken the place of the long-eared quadruped whose plaintive bray once resounded along the Erie and Miami canals. . The New York legislature at its > last session appointed a joint legisla tive commission to investigate the subject of electrical towage of canal boats. For a week past some very interesting and successful tests of the "electric mule" have been made on the Erie canal at Schenectady for the benefit of this legislative com mission. Significant of the larger engineering interest attaching to the"e tests was the presence of re presentatives of the Panama canal commission. the director of railways and canals of Germany, and many en I gineers of national and international F 1reputation. The "electric mule" iz simply a de velopment of the trolley principle. differing from the trolley motor only in the fact that the wheels grip the under side of steel rails instead of 7unning along their surface. The trollev "mule" takes the current from a trolley wire, throigh a tolley pole., and pulls the canal boat by means of a long towline. The demonstration consisted of hauling three canal boats carrying a total burden of 616 tons. Another test was with a total of 780 tons and a third test with 1.396 tons. Other tests consisted of over taking and passing boats drawn by animals with the "electric mule." As the tests were highly successful, there is little doubt that the electric towing device is destined to work a revolution of canal transportation in this country and in Europe. r THE WILLOW TREE. t John Parke Curtis Planted the First One In This Country.
