i BALTIMORE. MONDAY. MAY 18. I MM. COLORADO WOMEN AH NATIONAL VOTKKS.

Attention Is called by an article in the jour rent North American to thu Tact that In November next the women of the Ptate of Colorndo will, under the laws of that State, vote for presidential eleotore. This ill introtluco a new element into our national suffrage, and In the event or the contest between the contending parties becoming close this might prove a very dis-' turbing fuctor.We have had one electoral dispute which oarac near to plunging the country Into civil strife, and we do not wane another. It is, therefore, a practical question thut touches the general welfare what ought to be done to prevent another electoral crisis i arising at some time in the future out of the exercise by women, under the laws of the State In which they live, of the right to vote Xor presidential electors, as well as for mem-' bers of Congress, though that right has been heretofore commonly regarded as vested in male citlzeus only, and up to this time has been In practice exercised only by them. We believe the woiaun suffrngiscs have claimed that at the first presidential tlon there were a few women who voted for George Washington for President In one or two of the original thirteen States by vlr- tue of certain provlnclul laws which had given to women who were owners of prop- erty to a certain amount the right to vote. The records on the subject may show that to be the fact, but it proves nothing, because the election of Washington was practically by unanimous consent and was, no doubt, attended by many irregular Incidents Tvhloh huve had no weight or authority as precedents in later national elections.

The universal practice In all the States elice the choice of a President began to be mad) in the form and manuer that now prevails has been to confine the voting at the polls to native or naturalized male citizens, subject to the qualifications imposed upon them by the laws of the several States. Yet we are confronted with the fact that the adult wouieu of Colorado will be all wed this yenr, bo far as their State laws go, to vote on equal terms with the adult men of Colorado tor presidential electors, and, supposing that the electoral voti'S of all ihj bttitos should CtrSo" ffvauly divided as to make the electoral vote of Colorado the editing vo.e. the party against whose Candida. lor President Colorado's vote was oQVed Mould certainly challenge Its validity and Utmaud that it be thrown out. Even If the next President should be chosen by au electoral majority so large as i to make the vote of Ooi; rud of no oon-sequence, still It niluht happen tha; In 1900 or 1904 other States In thi meantime having followed Colorado's lead and permitted A their women to share with their men the toral count is made ty the Senate and House In joint session.

By challeuaing it and invoking the Judgment of the Supreme Court on the point Involved an authoritative precedent would be established. CORONATION OF TH IS CZ VKS. Today's arrival of Czar Nicholas 11 and the Cearina ae Moscow marks the initiation of the coronation festivities incident upon the crowning of the sovereigns, which will take place on May itt and form tho culmination of solemnities unparalleled In modern times. Frederick the Great, in the month or May of 1763, wrote to Peter III of Russia, who to have been In doubt as to the need of the costly observance of the old rite, "This ceremony obligates thu piople to loyal veneration, for It is accustomed to seeing its rulers crowned." The young Emperor did not heed the wise counsel or his great friend und was secretly murdered a. few week later at Itosgha by a conspiracy headed by his own wife.

Catherine II. With the exception of Peter III and Ivan VI, who was murdered by the officers of hts guard at tho fjrtress ot Schluesselburg, In 1704, all the rulers of all tuo Kus-ias saw fit to be crowned at Moscow. Tho Czars atiile derived from to which also the German Kaiser, without any superior show of legitimacy, traces the appellation of his dignity considered themselves the heirs of the Byzantine Cnjars aud the Greek or East Koman Empire.whence they took the pompous ceremony of coronation. Ivan III, Wassiljo-wltch the Great, Grandduko or scow, (1482-1505.) uuited the other Russian principalities to his own, and, after the expulsion or the Tartars In 1480, adopted the title of Czar of Great Russia. Through h's contort.

Princess Sophia, tho last of the Paloologues at nleee of Empcr. Constuntm XT, the last ot the Byzantine Ctesars, who fell upon tt.e walls of Constantinople Ht Its capture by the Turks, on May 29, H53, Ivan HI be-citme the ht'lr of the and added the ub'e-caale or the Greek Empire to thu urms ot Russia. The tlrt-t coron itlonof the Czars is usually dated as happening on January 10, 1547, when Ivan IV the Terrible was crowned at Moscow, and the unction with the sacred 1 first took phue, which has since been as integral part o. the ceremony, together with tbe subsequent partaking by the crowned of tho Holy Communion. But, according to Dr.

Arthur Klelnschmldt, of fleidelbeig, Ivan III personally first performed the ceremouy of the corouation on January 4, 1198, in tbe Cathedral of the As-bumption, upon bis young grandson, consecrating him his successor by plucing upon him the crown of the Paleo-1( guesand adorning btm with a Jeweled neca-lace, covering shoulders and breast and adorned with Images of the saints. "This," says the German historian, was the first coronation in Moscow after the Byzantine rite. Ivan HI carefully avoided surrendering parts of the ceremony to the olergy, excepting the blessing, tor he himself crowned the Prince. In the fashion of Ivan the Terrible, with changes more or less relevant, the following soveieigns were crowned down to Peter the Great, who first styled himself Emperor and Autocrat or All the Russias, and by the abolition of the dignity of the Patriarch, that hitherto bad played the chief part in the ceremony, reduced tbe functions of the clergy to being merely of an adjutory and attestlve character. The Czar himself was the supremo head of the Greek Church of Russia, aud Peter the Great personally pi iced the crown on tbe h-ad of bis consort, the Maiden of Marlenaurg," Catharina 1, tbe first Cztrina ever crowned, on May 18, 1724.

It the present Empress, lormerly Prinoets Alix of Hesseii, who is now to be crow n.d as out; of ber successors, may not be destined to excel her in historical fame, she already outshines ber in all womanly virtu. a worthy granddaughter of Queen Victoria or E.iyl McKINLbY as AN LL-ABOCND MAN. Mr. McKinley's friends are not helping his prospects with their premature indorsements. First he was announced as the "advance agent i't prosperity" on a high-tariff platform, when It bus been demonstrated beyond question tnat tbe maj rily ot the peosla of this country do not believe in tbe quulity of prosperity ihat accompanied prohibitive duties.

Secondly, in the West he is ppeuly proclaimed the friend of silver, and be has not hesitated to permit this statement to remain unchallenged, while other file. ids Journey to New York to give assurances the business men of that ciry that the Ohio man is for sound money, although re-lusing to say so upon his own responsibility. This closely resembles the "ounuo game" of the "confidence" men, and yet, with a few honorable exceptions, it is a game that is tacitly approved by republican press and leaders. The last demonstration in tavor of Mr. comes from the Supreme Council or the American Protective Association.

A committee of this organization, it appears, was sent to interview him upon his attiiude toward the A. P. and reports that "he fully and unequivocally indorsed the principles of this order." In return the Supreme Council graciously decrees that tbe members of the order may vote for him along with half a score ot republicans whose names are mentioned in connection with the nomination at St. Louis. Mr.

Mo-Kinley might well pray to bo saved from his friends. A FLKaSANT tXCUKsION. The annual outing of the National Geographic Society, which took place Saturday, as described at length elsewhere in The Sun, was an exceedingly pleasant and instructive one. The members and their friends, to the number of over tbiee hundred, including many prominent people, went from Washington via the Southern Railway to Charlottesville, and visited Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson, and also were cordially received at the University of Virginia, founded by that great man. The excursionists passed over a section which had been furrowed and scarred by war more than any other seotion of the South, and in which many bloody battles were fought.

Now all is changed and there is scarcely a trace left of the great conflict. The Piedmont section of Virginia is indeed a land "where every prospect pleases," and it never looked more beautiful than now. Timely showers have pubuod the growing crops, and there is cheering promise of abundant yields. In the country there Is a suggestion or thrift in the newly painted aud wh.tewasuoa dwell. nvs and outhouses and well-fenced and well-tilled farina, while in the towns and villages many new dwellings and business houses shov decided progress.

The visitors, besides receiving valuable objoot-los-sons in geography, had demonstrated to them that there is "life In the old land yet," and a considerable amount of it, too.

25. a29-lm I Pi fit I .1 V-1 right of voting for presidential eleoiors the title of a President would depend for decision upon the question whetUer. under the federal constitution, worn can be thud quallQed as national voters. The writer in the North American (Mr. W.

S. pjlarwood) contends that tho constitution of i United states permits suurago by women. and that Congress must receive the electoral votes of States in which women i have been granted the right of IrancbUe-ment, or else, on rejection of, their electurul votes, the Supreme Court must pass on the legality of such votes. He argues that the (only war by which the franchise may be Myulversally and Irrevocably denied to women In the United States is by an amendment to the constitution specifically providing that only male citizens of the United States, shall be allowed the right of suffrage. He eltes section 1, article 14, of the constitution, which went into force In July, 1808, and which provides as follows: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the Jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United states and of tho States wherein they reside." The main point of his contention is that, by this provision of the constitution, citizens of the United States are clearly defined as sill persons born or naturalized" In this country, and that the word "persons" can-Dot by any rensonablo construction of language be held to designate male persons only.

This is not a new oontentlon. A minority veportof the House Judiciary committee of the Forty-first Congress, slgued by the lata Benjamin F. Butler and William Lough-rldje, took substantially the same ground. Jt recommended the adoption of a resolution declaring "thut women citlzeus who are otherwise qualified by the laws of the State where they reside are competent for Representatives in Congress." jfu't la this report, which was drafted by Butler, It was uot lie.d that the Su- Court was the proper or necessary "Authority to tlecido the qaestlon so far, ut Meast, as the votes of women cast for members or Congress under the laws of their States was ooucernod. On the contrary, tho report said oa this point: We respectfully submit that, with regard to the competency and qualluoatlou of electors for members of this courts have no Jurisdiction.

This House is the sole Judge of the election, return and qualification of its own 5, section of the constitution,) and It is tor the House aloue to decide up.ju a contest who are and who are not competent and qualified to vote." It Is evident that this line of reasoning can bo extended to the point of claiming that when tho na-tlonal Seuatc and House of Iteprcsentatives assemble In joint session to cunvass an rcoord tho electoral votes of the States for President and Vice-President they will have Athe power to decide whether the vote of a State la which women have been permitted to vote for electors shall or shall not bo received or rejected. There Is a strong probability that other Western States will presently do as Colorado has already done, and that we may in tho near future see the choice of a President i( binge upoa the counting or rejection of the electoral votes of a group of States In which women have voted tor the electors. In that event the party to be benefited by counting them would be almost sure to insist that they should be received as regular. Woman suffrage wcuid thus at once become a burn- JpTJngr, national Issue. It would seem to be, on tuhe whole, a prudent thing to guard against SJiO possible development In the future of se.v..iotber grave electoral crisis like that Un leh itate(T the country so profoundly la -77 by making a test case of ti Lrote of Colorado when tho next elec 1 i i frt 1 i Sole Agents Kddy Kkkriokkators.
