A FINE TRIBUTE TO SENATOR Mon
RILL AND VERMoST.-The Washington
Chronicle, under the heading of, "Mr.
Morrill, and the Eight Hour Law" pays
the following fine compliment to Senator
Morrill, and Vermont. 1t has been justly
earned by oursdistinguished Senator, in
his faithful and Intelligent discharge Of
his duties. Mr. Morrilrs views upon
questions carry great weight with bis col
leagues:
Vermont is habitually fortunate in bar
selection of Senators. Within the la.i
decade che has been represented in that
chamber by five gen tlemen, each of whom,
without aspiring TO commanding influence,
has been above the general average Of
usefulness, if not Of talent. -Four Other
natives Of vermont--Mes-rs. Carpenter.

A man may dabble in theology all hia

tween theology and religion, like thas

until some one buys it for his own ms,
takes it home, prepares it, eats it. and

no more to III than any other intellectual
possession, until it is applied to Our
spiritual life !; then il becomes religion
and then for tnc first time we know what
religion means.

My Argument for Woman Suffrage.
BY REV. ADDISON BROWN.

/. Men and women compose the hui
man race; constitute the sum total OF
humanity. Woman is a part of the imam
which God created male and female"
2. Woman, like man, is a social, "a.
tional, accountable being; that is, has all
the essential attributes of humanity.
3. Man and woman constitute human
society, each being an indispensable par,
thereof.
4. The character and conditions of hu.
man society make some kind of govern.
ment necessary to regulate the intercourse
and transactions of its members with each
other.
). To-day that government is consid'
cred the nearest perfection which rests
on the consent of the governed, and
whose will is expressed in constitutions
and laws.
6. Women, equally with men, consti.
tute the governed" and therefore, equal
" with men, should their consent be
given TO and their will embodied in the
constitution and laws of the government
under which they live.
T. AS the ballot il the only instrument
by which the will of the governed can b.
directly and effectually expressed, women
and men have equal right to the u-e of il
s. Therefore whatever right man ha,
TO the ballot, natural or otherwise, woma
has the same.
3. And therefore, again, under oui
government, which Is a government 80
the people, for the people" the ballot
should be secured 20 woman as her un
doubted right Vermont IIiGHiL.
