Ku.Klnx and enforcement acts Of the AID.
miniStratiou, and YET Mr.. Greeley eonttn-
ualy reTerts 10 what the great bill o. i'm
pe8chment entirely ignOFea The sun
shines here not for few, but the highest
palace Is the school house, and well
trained teacher Is better than twenty ma.
jor generals. Woman talks Of land mo.
nOpoly, and our children TAX Of political
economy; and science and industry are
forging today the scepter that in the tu-
ture will rule the world.
Il is nonsense 10 talk Of State rights
when fundamental principles Of liberty
are at stake. Il would be better 70 have
rights defined by the national authority
than by State representatives. Justice
should not be balanced in the hGnds Of
CArdozos. When the political status Of
individuals Is fixed the States viii take
care OF themselves.
The Republican party has had 4 grand
life, and II should be perpetuAted until all
have rights alike. Il would be well "a
write in history that the party that struck
the shGckleS from four million slaves with
bis left hand, with It's right gave liberty
10 fAeen million women.
The plank Of the Philadelphia pislfOrm

toward the realization Of that grand idea
Of our fathers: All men were created

What is degrading in politics. l, is
the science OF government. Would il de-

We are degraded by being mixed up with
men. We Ne mixed up here. When a
home lam mixed with a husband ant
five sons st breakfast. How learfully
must be demoraliZed, mixed up with sil
men. They invade our homes, but when
women vote with them the polling booth
