THE APOSTLE PAUL on THE WOMAN QUESTION.
Rev. Olympia Brown, OF Connecticut, was
then introduced. She had inspected the CAPITOL
and witnessed how the Senators and Represent
atives had spent the people s,money i'm making
themselves comfortable in marble rooms. She
lxr r. A. n.
did know that a woman, when she paid her
taxes. should have the right Of choosing for
herself as TO how they should be spent. She did
not believe, as Miss Anthony did. that the six
teenth amendment should 60 90 wire-pulIing
Legislatures. and not TO the people. She had
perfect confidence in the people, and would
Governor Campbell, of wyoming Territory,
was here announced a. present, and was invited
to the platform. But the card which was sent
TO the platform announcing the fact must have
been as sell, a. that gentleman couldn't be found
in the room.
Mrs. Brown then resumed. and combstted
the objection which had been raised to woman
and took the ground that in that document no
distinction was anywhere made between man
and woman. Ii had been said that the Apostle
raul was opposed 10 women, but IL never had
been proven, and couldn't he, either. She did
not wish the audience to think the millennium
would come with woman suffrage. She thought
politicians would still buy votes and desire %
OF an enlargement of her sphere.
REMARKS OF FEMALE LAWYER PROM ST.
Louis.
Miss Phebe Couzzens was called for and said
she had not prepared herself for another speech.
She said Missouri was ahead In the cause of
Justice Harriet Hosmer had been permitted to
graduate at the law school in that State, which
had opened the way for her. She had now a
case before The ST. Louis courts OF a poor unfOr-
tunate woman, and how mach more appropriate
for woman TO espouse her cause before the
courts. She recounted the experience she had
before the ST. Louis courts, and showed pretty
concluslyely the necessity OF women practicing
before the courts as lawyers. She had found
that law was not so formidable study after all.
Miss Bartholow Of New York had been refused
to enter the law schools Of that State, but had
been received in the St Louis law
school, and this winter was studying there. She
never never had an & idea Of appearing ON a public
before the people, and as the women had been
ignored In that amendment, she was aroused IN
their behalf. She gave an interesting account
of her advocacy Of a petition before the Missou-
RI Legislature for the women's cause. She had
realized much indignation in the study OF law.
in finding woman continually mentioned there
as slave TO man. She felt that much blame
was TO be attributed to the United States gov
eminent for the subordinate condition Of wo-
man IN this country. The claimed that every
woman had right TO be tried by a Jury of her
peers, who must be females. Many a fallen wo-
man could be reformed by having women 70
assist In the benevolent institutions of the land
and In the judicial tribunals Of our counties and
states. The men OF the time are not response
Bile for the state of society, but they would be
held to an account for the continuance Of tt.
