It seems that "the woman ques-
ton" has reached the halls of Con-
gress and Mr.. Julian is the pioneer of
the movement. This Mr.. Julian pro.
poses sixteenth amendment, which
is to forbid any State to deprive any
Of it's citizens Of the right of suffrage,
by reason of their sex. On this sub
ject, the New York World says:
"Doubtless, Nr. Julian's bill will
be killed after the House has discussed
it to some extent but its introduc-
tion is only another evidence Of the
prominence which the woman ques-
tion is rapidly assuming. The agita.
tion of the subject will succeed to the
anti-slavery agitation, just as the lat
ter succeeded the temperance move
ment. It is noteworthy fact that
three topics, which, more than any
others, have engaged the attention of
the present generations of Americans,
have had no direct connection with
religion. 'fhe questions which can
interest au entire nation to-day are
not religious, but political, eoono mic,
or social ones. No attempt to croate
a 'No,popery,' excitement could sue
oeed eith,r in this country or Eng
land and the tone Of the press has
lately shown how little interest our
people have taken in the discussion Of
Mormon peculiarities which the bill
abolishing polygamy has called forth
in Congress. Matters Of faith have
no longer the hold they once had,
when whole community could be
agitated, as New England was CEN
tury ago, on such purely theological
orotchets as "Hopkinsonianism. Those
schemes which propose the improve
ment Of the ply sical, social, or politi.
GAL condition Of mankind can now
alone command the interest or arouse
the enthusiasm OF population
