WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

The United States Supreme Court has
rendered DISCUSSION on the Woman SUI
frage question, adverse to the claims Oh
females to the right to vote under 'ie
Fourteenth Amendment to the cohsi''"-
ton. The case arose in Missouri "here
Mrs. Virginia L. Minor claimed 'hat since
the adoption of the Fourteenth Amend
meut q woman who is citizen Oh Inc
tInited States and of the State OF Missouri
is a voter, in that State, notwithstanding
the nroyision of the constitution and laws
of the State which confine the right oil
suffrage to men alone. The decision was
unanimous The opinion Of the court was
delivered by Chief Justice Waite. The
decision is that the constitution OF the
United States does not confer suffrage up
on any one, that being left for the states
to do. Consequently women must look 10
the States for the right to vote in eiee-
tions. In. closing their opinion the court
says:.
tio> settled this is one. For nearly ninety years
the people have acted upon the idea that the con-
stitstion. when it conferred citizenship, did not
necessarily confer the right Of suffrage. If uni
form practice long continued can settle the con-
stsaction Of 50 important an instrument as the
constitution Of the United States confessedy is
noss certainly it has been done here. Our prov
ince i to decide what the law is, not to declare
what Il should be. We have given this case the
careful consideration its importance demands. ii
ths law is wrong it ought TO be changed, but the
power for that 10 not with us. The arguments ad-
dressed to us bearing upon such view OF the
subject may perhaps be sufficient to induce those
having the power to make the alteration, but they
ought noe to be permitted to influence our judg-
ment in determining the present rights Of the par
tics litissting before us. No argument as to
woman's need Of suffrage can be considered We
can only oct upon her rights as they exist. 1t is
not for Us to look at the hardship OF Withholding
Our duty Is ct an end il We find it is within the
power Of State to withhold
Being unanimously of the opinion that the con
,ttution Of the United States does not confer the
right Of suffrage upon any one, and that the con-
situations and laws Of the several States which
oonnit that important trust to men alone are no
necessarily void, we affirm the judgment Of the
court below"
