Miss Muller, in a letter to last Saturday's Times, on
the dis- traint which had taken place in her house because she declined to pay taxes until the suffrage was conceded her, states,— " Every post brings me letters containing expressions of approval from unknown friends, and the names of women-house- holders who propose to follow my example next year.," We only hope Miss Muller will not find the penalty of her high- spirited course greater than she can bear. It may be a comfort to her if she gets a few fellow-martyrs, but the correspondence with sympathisers in which she bids fair to be engaged, will be a terrible set-off against her limited popularity. Miss Muller must perfectly well know that her views are already quite as well repre- sented in Parliament as they would be in case a handful of women householders were added to the electorate ; and that no griev- ance she may have, would be at all more likely to be removed, if the infinitely petty remedy for which she contends were applied to-morrow. The whole agitation is unreal to the last degree.
