i President Wilson has ample atithor
lty for the dispatch of Federal troops
| to the scene of strife. That authority
Is his by constitutional provision
.Section 4, Article IV., of the Constl
tutlon leads: "The United States shall
guarantee to every State in the Union
a republican form of government, and
shall protect each of them against In
vasion, and, on application of the leg
islature or of the executive (when the
Legislature cannot he convened)
against domestic violence."
There Is no analogy here to the con
ditions obtaining at the time of tho
Pullman car strike in Chicago. Then
the Governor refused to ask for Fed
eral aid. and President Cleveland acted
on the ground that Federal property?
" c T"n?t?:?? States mails?was attached.
!a the present Instance, not only the
Governor of Colorado, but the entire
State delegation In Congress, has asked
tor Intervention, backed by mass-meet
ires of the cit'"ens. After long con
feren~es with citizens. Congressmen
of Colorado, messages from Governor

Friendly Chats With
Old Virginia Editors
The Chase City Progress Is a email
town weekly, but Its e<litor is not un
familiar with some of the ways of the
city dallies. It plumbs tho lino when
It says tliat "because una Richmond
paper beat them to It with nn extra,
tho other papers said an extra wan un
necessary. That's injecting tho Mexl
< an Imbroglio into a newspaper war."
However, friend, the war is over. All
liavo surrendered to the public demand
and are Kitting out extras.
Referring to Secretary Bryan's argu
ment In favor of tho flKht to repeal the
tolls exemption plank of the Baltimore
platform, tho Peninsula Ilnterprlso ex
presses the opinion that tho "opponents
of the administration aro left without
a leg to stand on," and that Mr. Bryan's
statement "should effectually dispose
of the argument that tolls exemption Is ;
a Democratic party pledge." It should, i
but the Knterprise's optimism is too |
great. Th" argument that it is a
Democratic party pledge Will continue
until the administration's fight is over
?and won.
Tho \Vi?e Virginian approves the
declaration of Tate Irvine, Democratic
candidate for Congress from the Ninth
District, that .'iC will not have nnythlng
to <lo with the distribution of patron
age in l.t--' district. "Mr. Irvine's let
ter." it siivn, "is timely and to tho
point, and shows his attitude to be one
of noninterference and kindly disposi
tion toward :?11 Democrats in the dis
trict." Mr. Irvine is wise. Distribution
of patronage m k? s more enemies than
friends, and !s a handicap rather than!
a help to a candidate for ofllee.

WHEN Louis' XIV. of Franco be

cook of that Prince of Bourbon who
was known as tho Grand Condo, It
nave to Vatel, whose name Is en
shrined In the annals of gastronomy,
the right to wear a sword?the sword
with which ho ran himself through
tho heart when somo particularly rare
lish which ho h:id ordered for a ban
i|Ucl given at Chantilly by h 1m em
ployer, for the Koi Soldi, failed to ar
ilvo in time, and ho considered him
self to be disgraced.
The chef who superintended tho
preparation of the state banquet given
liy President Polncaro at tlio Elyseo
last week. In honor of the King "and
(Juecit of England, Is likewise a knight
of tho greatest Fi each order of the
present day, namely, of tho Legion of

out a singio hitch, and, in liou of con
sidering it necessary to commit sulcldo
to savo !iis honor, ho received from
King fieorge the Cross of tho Victorian

those of the army, and where univer

arc entitled major-generals, and wear
a uniform as such, the principal chef
i>f the Czar has the rank of colonel,
is addressed as such, and wears a gor
geous s-ilver-laeed uniform, all cu\e;o.i
with decorations, a cocked hat and a
sword.
It Is to King Louis XV. of Prance
and to the infamous Madame I ?u Harry,
by the way, that we are Indebted to
the title of "Cordon lileu," applied all
the world over to ilrst-cl. <*s cooks and
gastronomic artists of bot sexes. On
one occasion Mine. Pu Harry had a
violent discussion with Louis XV. as j
to the relative merits of malo chefs
and women cooks, Mmo. I'u Parry
championing the cause of the latter
against the King?, who Insisted that no j
woman could really cook. Alter a ]

'lii- same rule was observed when
some ten ?>r fifteen years ago the

in ei.mrnamt of the Japanese army ot j

On reaching Yokohama, the warship,

stall In their places around him. Ar- j
iivliig at tt c Tokyo terminus, tho same i
gorgeously uniformed figure was con

sitting position to the prince's palace,
and it was only on the following day,
that is to say, within a few hours of
his obsequies, that the public and of
ficial announcement of his decease was
made.
Old court etiquette in France, and
elsewhere in Continental Europe, used
to provide that dead royalty should be
regarded as alive until laid in tho
tomb. Thus, in Paris, under tho an
cient regime, during the entire fort
days that the embalmed body of the
sovereign lay in state In the Abbey of
St. Denis, the court ceremonies were
carried on within its walls as though
he were still alive. The royal table
would lie set every night in the re
fectory, and the gt.md master of tho
cercmonh s, when the dinner was
brought up, would proceed in full uni
! form to the chancel of the church,
j where his royal master lay, find with
three low obeisances would exclaim:
| "Sire, tho dinner is served, accord
ing to Your Majesty's orders."
Then the cliatnbei lain on duty by the
Icatafalque would respond with dignity:
"I lis Majesty has been graciously
pleased to dilio already, and desires to
J remain undisturbed."
(Whereupon the master of ^Jio cere
monies would retire backwards, with
three mot e low obeisances to tho .King,

Sir. I .mi not a 1 well Informed on the
.Kllije't of equal suffrage n- I should like to
i>". :nr 1 believe this momentous question
might have been 11--.1 L'.V) years upo if man 1
hi! only been genemu:. and could have I'elt ;
that women in following the men into tho i
wilderness exhibited almost if not unite a< I
mil ii liaekhone as they. If. after years,
they could have realized that woman nee i. 1 '
a cliasiB to lie made a full rounded help
mate. they would have divided the honors of
t- ? VL-riinient with her.
If 'lie women had been given entire
cli ii'iy of the public school system of this
country, which even lit this date Is a dis
gra In many places, we would not be
i .i:i'>il inc.v with The servant question. We
woufl have good well-trained cook* and
mat Is of many generations, because we
would ha', i m en that they were educated
along the-e lines. Women could plan their
homes much better than men anil could
have employed laborers to build them. We
would have had good roads long ago, had
tho money squandered been intrusted to
tiiem.
1 do not approve of unlimited suffrage
either for women or men. The men had !??)
> ear:. t<? make this government, and it is
far from what It should be now. If some j
l-ii- * i i i!d have been Intrusted to woman, 1
whieh -he understood better how to manage
than men. they would have '.earned some
thing Irom her. Moreover, woman would
have had more time and thought for the
lii.-iies intrusted to her.
I have I. ?? ii a widow for thirteen years.
During that tlino I have paid more than
jj'.'-rM t.iM'i. 1 have no representation. Sup
pose ! i h.iuld refuse to pay my taxes, as 1
have often thought of doing; my property
would be taken from me. As it 1?, I must
pay taxes as to the expenditure of which 1
have no >?ay.
The suffrage limitation.", especially In the
South, should be very high. For instance,
no woman should have a vote unless able to
f rend intelligently the <,'onst 1 tutlon of our
! government, and she should own not less
i ihan J'-OO worth of property In her own
iname. SUKKJt AGIST.

j Sir In titv letter to Governor Stuart, a
j portion of which was published In a recent
' IssMe nf The Times-Dispatch, there Is an er
ror for which 1 am partially responsible. 1
i stated that I dined at the White Mouse sev
j enty-dx r? ago, when I should have said
| seventy-t ight years ago. when Genera! An
drew lailtsois w.is President. 1 was only
: twelve years uIH My grandfather. William

I Jackson, t\ho appointed him Commissioner
of l'ublii f! dldlng i. Knder his supervision
the Treasury Building. tho Post-Office
Hiilbllritr ntid the Patent Office were erected.
Tho President would have him with him at
the White House frequently, sometimes all
night, and at others at dinner, breakfast
and supper, an hU diary, which 1 now have
In my possession, shows. I and my brother
went lo boarding-school with tho President's
great-nephew, Andrew Jackson Ponnelson,
(Jr., and were invited to dine at the Whlto
House. On one occasion 1 had the honor to
claim a klsn of one of the prottlest girls
In the l.'nlted States as a forfeit in a *:im*

man living lclssed a girl In tho White House
longer ago than that.
