A Hsx Government BY Women.
A lot Of female fanatics have established
themselves in Chicago, where they propose
to found seat Of government exclusively
female. The Tribune of that city gives
some account Of the organization Of this
unique dispensation. 1t says:
1t is based on the sfDivide Order Of
"I,ord the Mother" "God the Father"
"Christ theSon, ,'a1d "souithe Daughter"
It's form is Church and State, theocsratic
and democratic; woman representing the
Church and man representing the
State. The reason for this is that two bod
les Of equal weight cannot move each other,
and 50 the Church must move the State.
The present head Of the new govern
mcnt is Miss Sophronia A. Kifbomn, Of
Mount Pleasant, Iowa, with the Chair Of
State at Chicago. Formerly it was Eliza
J. Kennedy, Of Michigan, but this lady has
the misfortune of being lame, and hence
she has been compelled to take back seat.
The name Of Miss Kilbourn will probably
be remembered by the readers of the IsD-
enc as figuring quite prominently at the
Celestial Convention on the Planet Earth"
held a. Crosby's Music Hall on the 18th
ult. That Convention was ostcnsibly called
for the purpose Of nominating candidates
for the Presidency and Vicc-Prcsidency,
it being well understood that the honors
were to be divided between the males and
females, conceding to the males, however,
the lions share. It will also be remcm-
bored, perhaps, that before the convention
had proceeded far radical change came
over its dreams, and the new government
izers, under the lead of Miss Kilbourn;
took complete possession Of the delibera-
tions of the convocation.
Uponinquiry, the Prcsidcntess informed
her interrogation that the new government
was based upon the inferior power Of wo-
men. Women" she said, "are perfect;
they are the purest Of Gods creatures;
they have an inferior power that is calcu-
lated to set all things right. Our govern
ment is to inaugurate a reign of peace.
At presnt, the most perfect life was that
Of the Quakers, who never quarreled, BE-
cause in their religion and govcxnmcnt the
women are equal with men," But, this
she thought, was not enough; "women
should be the superiors of men," In an-
swer to question whether, in her opinion
the men would tamely submit to the do
minion Of women, she answered that she
had an all-abiding faith in the inferior
power Of the female sex, and that men
would be compelled to submit by virtue Of
the superiority Of women, and she conclud-
ed under that head with abcnignantsmilc;
docs not water always find its levell
Can man resist his destiny"
