ANOTHER POINT GAINED


One of the objections to Woman
Suffrage by those who affect to hold
high estimate Of womanhood and
great respect for the delicate sensi-
bilities of "the SEX" is the cry that
woman will be degraded by her assoeia-
ton with coarse and drunken men at
the polls, though why those who make
so many professions Of esteem would
allow improper conduct to offend ladies
at the ballot-boxes, is a mystery. In
vain have the advocates OF woman's
equality asserted that her presence viii
purify the atmosphere Of voting places /;
the chivalrous gentlemen with the Won
derfuI respect have maintained that
their felIow-men could not be uplifted,
aud that women must necessarily be
dragged down.
To those who err so grossly in their
Judgment Of their brothers as to believe
them past redemption, aud who insult
women by the assertion that they are so
prone to evil that they will sink into
the "flthy pool" Of politics without
using their high influence to cleanse
the noxious puddle, we commend the
fact that the Boston Board Of Aldermen
have taken measures already to bring
about one of the many reforms prom
ised by women. The number Of tax
paying ladies registered for the mu-
nicipal elections Of Massachusetts, was
estimated at 200 by a correspondent OF
a New York paper at the early date OF
November 2Sth. In order that the
"maiden ballots might be cast in an un-
tainted atmosphere" says the cores
pondent, "the Aldermen passed res
olution forbidding smoking during
the forenoon in voting places"
That remark should convince croRkers
aud growlers that gentlemen will moi
permit ladies to be insulted. 1t should
also make it evident that woman's in
fuence will have a tendency to purifi
cation. It being inconvenient 70
many women to vote during the fore
noon, the order should be made ap
plicable to the entire day, and next yea
probably will be. The good resulting
from the presence Of ladies being s
marked the first year, in two or thre
years all the reforms demanded at tn
polls will be In operation. Then th
ladies will turn their attention 10 th
correction Of abuses in political mat
ters, and the grumblers who hav
shown so little respect for womsnhoo
as to assert that their purity can b
lowered by expressing a preference i
matters pertaining TO government, wi
find themselves remanded back ez
olusively to the company Of those from
whom they obtain their standard q
wOmanhood.

Our reference last week to the bache

care to marry men who hold that thew
