Women in the Arena.

When the Legislature passed, last
winter, the law making women eligible
for school offices, there were prophets
who declared that the time spent in dis
cussing the bill was wasted, and its
passage piece of supererogation. They
were confident that no women would be
found willing to take the Office; that il
any were willing, they could not get q
nomination from either party; that if
nominated they could not be elected
The prophets are no longer prophets in
women candidates were on tickets
throughout the State; their nomina-
tIons, if self-sought at all, were not
brought about by primaries packed by
women, by corrupt bargains with
partisanship, or by open air meetings
in which everybody else supposed to
have aspirations was maligned and
slandered. From these facts, so cheer
fully admitted, the doctrine of Woman
Suffrage, either as an expedient or as q
principle, is legitimate sequence.
Men of good sense know that women
are qualified to occupy all the positions
of school management, simply because
they have been trained to the calling
and are fitted for it by nature and ex-
perience; and since the way to the
- AllIOuRu tue eleC-
tiOn of the mass of voters, instead of by
the votes of a board of education, as
teachers are commonly appointed, there
is no reason why, if fitted for the super
intendency, they should not be nomi-
mated and elected thereto. A superin-
tendent is simply peripatetic principal
of q ! alf-doZen schools instead of resi-
! dent principal of one school. Women
have zen resident principals for fifty
/ years; there is no moral OF political rea-
son Y they should not be peripatetic
prime ais. Being elected to the latter
position has no more to do with their
exerci. of the elective franchise than
being pointed to the former.
The women nominated in Illinois
have not mixed themselves up in the
worry and defilement of party politics.
They are not on the stump; they do not

SUFFRAGE.

1t is an incontrovertible proposition
that all political power should emanate
from the people. This proposition,
while it can and should be true theoreti-
cally, never can be true practically, for
the reason that many have to be debarred
from lack of age, or want of reason, or
because of crimes committed, or are 9TH
erwise senecesssrily incapacitated from ex-
ercising political privileges. Yet as re-
CARDS our Government this proposition
is not even true in theory, although
some of our latest political writers in
analyzing the principles pertaining to
our republican form of Government,
claim this proposition to be true theo-
retically on the hypothesis that the peo-
pie of the Nation, or the community at
large, are composed of aggregated fami-
lies, and that the head of each has the
power of the elective franchise. \
more palpable error could scarcely arise.
1t is much better, and in fact is the
only correct analysis, to say that COM
munities at large, or the people, are
made up of individuals, rather than of
families. The elective franchise is not
conferred on heads of families as such,
but upon persons of the masculine gen.
der.
Many heads of families are excluded
while many are allowed this privilege
who are the heads of nothing in fact,
and are hardly even endowed with heads
of their own. How then can it be true
in theory? Yet, easy it is to. make it
true. We assume it to be a true political
maxim that political power should en-
anate from the people-that govern
ments derive their just powers from
the consent of the governed-that no In
dividual, or body of individuals, governs
others by divine right, as beings claimed
of old, but rather of Human Rights, oil
the consent of the governed. This is
the true theory of a republic. If we
admit these maxims and join popu-
lar with intelligent suffrage, which
united form the true American idea, the
result is that the political franchise
should be conferred on all persons who
have arrived at the proper age of dis
eretion, who have forfeited no rights tC
govern the public by committing crimes
against the public, who are of sounC
mind, and who are properly qualified
by sufficient mental and moral training
to discharge the duty Of citizenship
This follows as logically, and truly, a
ever a conclusion followed premises.

in a family by one Of several young la

that her father and sister had been fur
nished decent burial.
"Fore de Lord r' whispered Josie "a
Todd, who was intent upon some en-
ployment that detained him just within
hearing OF the conversation, "wish ]
could done kill all dem 'Paches." To
which pious wish the soldier made nc
audible reply he was swearing great
oaths down in the bottom Of his heart
to avenge Jack Miles and little Katie.
"How old was your brother Boone ?''
inquired the Doctor.
"He was nineteen, when he left
home;" her eyes quickly filling with
tears.
"And you believe him dead ?''
'He would have come home, else, "
replied Judith. HE knew how anxious
l was about his going into an Indian
country, and he promised me-"
Then the Doctor as gradually as posi-
bic let her know her brother 5 fate; for she
too never doubted that the Boone Miles
buried close to the walls of the Fort,
was her brother, for whom she had long
sOrrowed as dead. But oh, to come so
near meeting him alive, and fail Of it,
in such manner lit was like losing
him over again.
But this talk did Judith good. The
knowledge she received OF her circum-
stances, and the sympathy which ae-
companied that revelation, both soothed
and aroused her. She could think and
plan for the future, in very blind, un-
certain way, to be sure, but that was
better than dwelling upon an unfortu-
nate past. She had that blessed gift
of inexperience confidence in herself
to accomplish whatever she undertook.
What to undertake, was the only prob
lem to be solved; and although she
could not arrive at any solution, hel
faith remained firm, that in some way
the answer would occur TO her at tn,
right moment. Aud in this delusior
Mrs. Stewart encouraged her, herself be
ing one of those who leave everything
regarding woman's affairs to Provi
dence-who is generally represented b,
some man of their acquaintance.

Young girls at WhampOa. They were
living with different families in the viii

women endured from the tyranny of
their husbands, they resolved tie escape
