Trial by a Jury Of Ones Peers. y

This subject was assigned to Lille
Devereux Blake at the grand protest
meeting of Woman Suffragists at Phila-
delphia on the Fourth of July, where
upon she make the following remarks,
which must appeal to the common
sense and candid judgment of all:
1 have been asked to speak to you to-
day on the injustice Of denying to wom-
en- the right of trial by jury of their
peers. The time is too short to do any
! justice TO so great subject. L Will
merely call your attention to few
points. / do not suppose that women
will ever be eager to serve as jurors 1T
is a privilege that men do not usually
cry after; that is not the question; it is
not, do you wish to serve as jurors, but
! if by misfortune you are brought to
public trial, do you wish a jury of your
peers? 1t may be safely said that there
are many cases in which men are in
competent to sit as jurors where women
are on trial. Take, for example, the
crime of infanticide what can jury
of men know of the anguish and despair
which tug at a woman's heart when she
stands face to face with this temptation? :?
What can they know of the shame and
misery that drive her to the crime? A
jury of her peers a court of justice =
what mockery of the terms. Nor,
will it do to say that women are incom-
petent for this duty, as in Wyoming
they have again and again proved that
they could we'll discharge its response
bilities, 1t is said, indeed, in one case,
where a mixed jury of six men and six
women sat on murder case where the
testimony was very conflicting, that the
women spent the hours of retirement in
prayerful consultation on the evidence,
while the men on the other side of the
door spent the same time in playing
poker. The need of women on juries
may then be conceded, but, like other
reforms, this can only come with the
ballot. And the day of our freedom is
surely at hand AS surely as this sum-
mer sun bathes all nature with its etful-
gence, so surely shall the sun of liberty
arise for us and shed its bright beams
over a fully enfranchised race.
