Some time ago. We referred to the views
of Mr.. John Stuart Mill, the English
writer, on ths WOMAN question. We
thought his views in advocacy of woman's
political fightsweak. But in this era of
change and innovations, no man can cay
how distant is2 the time when woman
suffrage shall DE the Law ofsthe land!
Certain it is, that il the radical party
find this suffrage necessary to sustain
party ascendanoy, they will not hesitate
sto seek to establish It. It seems that
-''the woman Question" has reached the
halls of Congress and Mr.. Julian is the
pioneer Of the movement This Mr..
Julian proposes sixteenth amendment,
which is to forbid any State to deprive
any OF its citizens OF the right of suf-
frage, by reason of their sex. On this
subject. the New York 'World says:
Doubtless, Mr. Jalian's bill will be
killed after the House has discussed it to
some extent; but its introduction is only
another evidence OF 1the. prominence
which the woman question is rapidly
assuming. The agitation Of the subject
will succeed to the anti-slavery agitation,
just as the latter succeeded the tempe
rance movement. It is noteworthy
fact that three topics, which, more than
any others, have engaged the attention
of the present generation Of Americans,
have had no direct connection with reli.
gion. The quastions which can Interest
an entire nation to-day are not religious,
but polihoAls economic, or social ones
NO attemptIto create q 4'No.popery' ex-
oitement .conld succeed either in this
country pr England; and the tone OF the
press has lately shown how little interest
our people have taken in the discussion
OF Mormon napeouliarities which the bill
abolishing polygamy has called forth in
Congress. Matters Of. faith have no
longer the hold they once had; when a
whole community could be agitated, as
New England was century ego, on such
purely thsological crotchets as .Hopkin-
sonianism. Those schemes which pro-
pose theGitnprovement of the physical,
social, or.political condition of mankind
can now alone command the interest or
arouse the enthusiasm of population. -
