expedients, some substitute for modern

age-all demand purer, better rep
resentatiOn, fairer state Of thIngs-the
only cure is i'm the representation Oi
woman; this j. mans satety-YalVe anu

lures misery and unsteadiness- Inc
provoking mist that envelopes the poll
tical and financial world, cannot be pen
etrated bv a oue-sided ballot surrounded
bv preiudide and injustice. Taxation
and no representation records IN
the history of the day, most
extravagant, reckless, partial leglsia-
ton, exhOrbitant assessments ana ire
mendous disbursements. during the
panic, an eminent lawyer admitted that
he believed that woman was hpucu
needed TO control the wills and impulses
of men. who left alone to their own inn
petuosity and rashness, without any
check-rein or any bit or bride, rushed
on to their own unfortunate fate. Man
is ever studying how to extricate hlm-
self with honorable colOrs from his fatal
courses, or else, deep in some p0lltlcal
maze, he founders with his fellow col
! leagues, to free himself from the quag-
mires of political swindle. This is the
| issue Of his own guidance and his own
/ legislation. Not till the olive-branehes
OF the peace that woman Will bring TO
him, when the cataract oil sellishness
drops from his eyes and he takes her as
| fellOw-wOrker and 4 fellOw-yoter, VIII ne
rest TRANQUILITY under mutual fg tree.
There will be fewer systems, fewer pro-
grammes, fewer theories to puzzle and
confuse; the masses will be mapped out,
and the whole finer philanthrophy Of
humanity engaged i'm waiting on the
necessities of mankind, bringing into
national government the shrewdness,
the discretion, the calmness of exalted
virtue, pure influences and holy rell-
gion, which must save the nation and
the sexes. The trial once made, vexed
question settled, man will readily seize
on woman's guidance, for he needs far
more her help and clear brain than she
does his-as the blessed angel that
dragged him forth out of his dilemma,
stood him up in the paths Of right, his
optician and physician. God has no
rivalries, no prejudices, no partialities.
He maintains justice as His first law.
On earth, man attempts to be the reign
| ing master To oppose the Divine exam
BILE of the Creator, he Oppresses and in
suits the other half of humanity, and
wrongly seeks her mastership. The
consequence is, Rome falls before her in
vaders, and lies bowling with desOl@tion
and disgrace. At present there is
naught save disappointment, continuous
panics aud financial frights. The angel
of womanhoOd sees the failure and his
weaknesses, awaits in patience the hour
she may rescue him from his perils and
save him from his own pitfalls Of ruin.
I One or two more panics, more ring de-
feats, more taxation, will bring to us a
glorious victory. We shall be found
necessary to clear away the disorder and
confusion man has led himself into by
his own want of proper management
and the loss of the "ribn God intended
he should use to be his helpmeet and
| sympathizer. Ne men of the hour! ye
/ political demagOgues! why stand and
| gaze at your delemma why wrangle
and fret why loiter and stagger with
! irresOlution ? The remedy is within
/ your reach-give woman the vote, stifie
pride, smother jealousy, and you will
/ find Heaven has fitted her to work out
all your salvation, crown your problems
with Il correct solution, and become your
/ deliverer from risks and dangers.
