THE IRISH PARLIAMENT.-There has
recently been completed and will soon be
offered to Richmond subscribers by the
agent here, Captain James H. Capston,
No. 1011 Main street, a handsome photo
graphic picture of s'The Great Irish Par
lament, elected a. d. 1890, College Green,
Dublin" The size, suitable for framing,
is 22x22 inches. and when framed it will
make an ornament for any house or art
gallery in the land. 1t is especially inter-
esting to every Irish family, whose home
should be decorated with scenes illustrative
of and creditable to their native land.
The picture represents an interior view
of the old House of Commons, and in the
$50 persons whose likenesses appear, are
included Curren, Grattan, Lord Charlie
mont, the Earl of Bristol, the Bishop oil
Derry, Sir Jonah Darlington, and many
others famous in Irish history. AS a SOU
venir of the sold Land'' it is peculiarly in.
teresting to the Irish people at the present
day, seeing that the q Home Rule'' move
ment, which, from present appearances, is
destined to succeed, will again inaugurate
an Irish Parliament, similar in many re.
spects to that represented in this beautiful
picture.

GOING TO WORK Alright.

Our Friends in Salem, despite the dep.
recatory remarks of their leading local
paper against our political course, have
gone TO work in earnest, In the way SC
long advocated by rs, to secure the bal.
lot for women.
\ resolution was adopted at their re-
cent Woman Suffrage meeting for effect
ing permanent organization, in which
the Marion County Woman Suffrage
Society is pledged to support no candi-
date for the Legislature who is not in
favor OF Woman Suffrage, and who will
not labor for the passage of bill to
that end. This is what We call an i'm.
portant step In the right direction
Once get men aud women so deeply i'm.
bued with the great principle OF Huma q
Rights that they are ready to forego all
personal issues, and private prejudice,
in other directions, and work with and
for any candidate who is pledged tc
work with and for this paramount poll
tical need OF the times, and they will
soon see that they are welding a power
which will surprise themselves.
II will be time enough to moralize
upon woman's duties as politician
after she shall have opened the door tS
her political habitation. And We advise
all croskers who exclalm In holy horror
against the Woman Movement because
we are not content with theroizing,
merely, tojust be patient till woman res
cues the ballot, the key to her liberties
from the mire Of politics into which il
has fallen, and then she may unlock tn,
doors OF a habitation which she must
enter andposscss before it can be purified
by her presence.

New York Womau's Meeting and Spirit
Of the Press.

a prominent feature of the Woman's
meeting in New York, commemorative
OF The resistance by the American
people hundred years ago, of the tax
imposed on tea, was its entire dignity
ana earnestness and the entire absence
OF sensatlonalism. The burden of all
the speeches was the injustice and ty-
ranny OF taxing the property of women
and allowing them no representation.
/ Incidents were related of women in va
rious parts of the country, who had he
roically and persistently resisted the in
vasiOns of the assessor, and in some
cases judgment had been obtained
against the women thus resisting; but,
proving that the men were really bet
| ter than the laws, no attempt had been
made to enforce the judgment. 1t was
stated by Miss Anthony, that in ROch-
ester alone there were 5000 tax-paying
women, representing S7,000,00O.
The Herald speaks in terms of unqual-
flied approval of the spirit of the meet
ing, according to the demands of the
women, logic, justice and precedent
It's comments on Miss Anthony, whom
it says was introduced as the''great
champion of liberty" were couched in
terms of almost affectiOnate respect. 1t
denominates her the "honest veteran"

the occasion:
She was dressed plainly, in black; her
hair was done up in the old-fashioned
back-knOt, and her sober, earnest face
looked worn, though lacking none OF
the old-time fervor that is stamped on
every feature.
There is a marked difference in the
manner in which the better portion of
the press speak of the wOmen's meeting,
from that in which they INDUCED but
few years back. The press well
know that they must keep up wi the
spirit Of the times; and more than is
the enlightened press can but look " ith
respect on all movements of true reform.
Attempt to ridcule Woman Sufiragists,
or woman suffrage meetings, is rap
rapidly passing out of fashion. A few
papers still, whose editors, whatever
their pretensiOns, are really low and
malignant at heart, endeavOr to per-
petrate questionable witticisms at the
expense of high-minded and noble
women. One of these not hundred
miles away, but q few days since intro
duced Miss Anthony in its columns as
the target for ribald wit, bordering in
deed on the crime for which another
editor, not far away, was but recently
indicted, and on trial and conviction,
fined.
Attacks of that character are really
undeserving of attention.; and yet they
would seem at the same time to demand
unqualified reproOf and condemnation.
However, if we would administer re-
buke for such, as well as commendation
where deserved, we are placed between
two dilemmas: On the one hand, we
notice what we would prefer to pass
with silent disregard; but, on the other,
refusing to notice it, we are derelict to
the duty, as advocate for whatever of
justice or trae respect is due to woman,
of discountenancing that which would
cater to a debased standard of morality;
as imperative as engaging in work,
more cOngenial to clean hands, of en-
devoring to reform oppressive legisla-

Shall Women be Emanoipated 2

1 am well aware that this interroga-
tory, though often advanced, is still met
by many with indifference.
The customs and usages OF society are
so firmly fixed, that what is really wrong
seems TO be right because it has always
been practiced. 1t is readily under
stood, in speaking of the American race,
what emancipation meant for them.
That question having been settled by
baptism of blood, the time has come to
throw aside all false ideas, and give
this question the iRvestigon it demands.
But little thought or eXertiOn is neces-
sary to come to the realization of this
| fact: that there is a class of people de-
prived Of their natural rights merely on
account of sex. What q strange reason
for expressing a part of our race, and
Withholding from them the universal
right Of the American citizen, for en-
franchisement has belonged to women
ever since the establishment of Ameri-
can independence. Shall she longer ask
for rights that are her own? Shall such
injustice, long meted out to her still
continue? The halls of learning, that
are the pride and boast of our land, are
closed against her; the entrances to ele-
waited and lucrative positions are refused
| her; consequently she has to perform
the most unremitting toll to secure q
| livelihood for herself and those she is
obliged to support; and if 80 fortunate
as by such self-denial to lay by a surplus
against the time Of need, a portion must
| be rendered to MAINTAIN the Government,
the laws of which she must obey or suf-
/ fer the extreme penalty.
There has never been given any wise
and consistent reason why women
should be denied her God-given rights.
| 1t is often asserted that If the ballot
were given her, she would not use it.
| This reasoning is as sensible as the
grand parent who forbade his IA
vorite going near the water until he had
| learned to swim. Did not the noble
Miss Anthony and others at the peril of
reputation and property cast their vote
into the Nations history? Give her
the power, and let the nOn-fulfillment
rest upon her own head.
Fearless, able women have been agi-
tating this question for a quarter of a
century. Though met with opposition
and reverses, the cause has steadily adj
vanced, and to-day receives the aid and
encouragement of the philanthropists
and statesmen of the land. In looking
from the past to the present, candid
observer cannot fail to observe the
magnitude of their work and the grand
results that must surely follow.-TOleIO

NORMAN SUFFRAGE and Our Law.Maksrs.

The debate upon the Utah bill, in the
House Committee on Territories, which
occurred in Washington on Tuesday,
revealed the fact that all the attacks
made upon the exercise of suffrage by
the women of Utah, charging that the
experiment was failure, were ground
less; and it was ably argued by Mr..
Wilcox, that the evil OF polygamyi
which il was hoped Woman Suffrage
would abolish, still eontinued-because
there had never been fair test made OF
woman's wishes to the NATTER and tnat
while the law required all ballots cast
at all elections to be numbered, or nave
the name written thereon, it would De
impossible to tell how women Woulu
vote on the question. On the same day
that this discussion occurred, Senator
Sargent introduced into the United
States Senate "a Memorial from Mrs.
Stanton and Miss Anthony, praying ITO
be allowed to vote on an equality with
colored men, We do not believe 1t IS
possible for q man who has a spark OF
manhood i'm his nature, to read that
memorial and not feel conscienee-smit-
ten that those noble women were not
permitted to enter the kingdom OF po-
| litical equality by the Fourteenth
Amendment, instead of being compelled
to endure the humiliation Of being told
by colored Representatives, as has been
the case, that they could not vote; those
men, too, who owe their freedom and
ultimate enfranchisement to women.
Mrs. Stanton and Miss Anthony devoted
the best years of their lives to the cause
Of the enslaved negro, and when his
J freedom was secured, and his enfran-
ahicaunant ~ YnrnuocaI fhau only asked
that they be allowed to receive the bal
lot with the black man. "Non' thun-

came a imam and a brother" to the
"white male" citizen. Our State Leg
islature has again been appealed to by
the women of California asking for the
right to vote, and through the efforts of
| Assemblyman Aldrich, resolution
passed the House, asking for the APP
/ pointment of q special Joint Committee
| to consider the question. The action Of
the Assembly in relation to this matter
commends itself to every lover of JUS
| tice and right; but the unceremOnious
disposition of the same resolution by the
| Senate, evidenced that those "high in
authority have in this instance at last
verified the homely old adage that "the
fools are not all dead yet.n The Oppo-
nents of Woman Suffrage may glory
over this temporary triumph, in the
tabling Of that resolution, but their re-
! jOieing will be short lived. The time is
near at hand when woman will occupy
the place of citizenship, the peer of men
white and black, politically, and those
who now seek to postpone the time by
adverse Legislative action, will be re-
membered then, and can rest assured
/ they will be elected to stay at home
thereafter, while their places will be
| filled by men and women who believe
in, and respect the basic principles of our
Government, tO-wit, "the inherent
right of the governed, 70 a voice in the
