THE WOMAN SUFFRAGE AMEND
MENT.

I
| The Legislature of 1880 passed a
joint resolution proposing an amend
ment to the Constitution providing
for female suffrage. 1t has been said
that the proposition originated in the
Assembly rs a joke, in the expectation
that should it happen to pass the low
er House it would be defeated in the
Senate; but the dignified Senators, not
to be outdone in gaIlantry ly the As
stmblymen, promptly concurTed III
the passage of the resolution. With
out expressing an opinion upon the
merits of the question of woman suf-
frage we will make the prediction
that, should the Legislature of 1881
concur III the passage of the resou-
ton and it be submitted to vote of
the people in November next, the sue
cess of the cause espoused by the suf-
delayed at least decade. Whatever
may be the action of the Legislature,
public sentiment does not now demand,
and the people will not ratity, the
proposed amendment. The different
elements that will combine to defeat
he measure have the power to do SO
and until there is a decided change in
public opinion the fair sex Of the Badg-
~ State will be without the ballot.
But comparatively few women demand
the right of suffrage, and probably
not half the American voters favor
the proposed innovation, while the
large body of foreigners who help to
make up the body polite will vote al
most snlidly against it. If submitted
to vote the matter will not be per-
mitted to go by default, and no senti-
ment or considerations of galltntry
will Influence sufficient number of
votes to secure the adoption of the
proposition. Woman suffrage would
secure that for which the various

the abolition of the liquor traffic,
and for that reason the liquor interest,
thoroughly org nized, and backed by
plenty of current funds for ''legiti-
mate campaign expenses would make
its power felt at every polling place
in the State. However unpleasant
these facts may appear to those who
are laboring in the cause of temper
ance and sobriety and for what they
conceive to be the elevationo of woman,
they are nevertheless true, and should
be considered rs important factors
that will enter into the contest when
the ques lion shall be submitted TO a
vote. Those who are engineering this
business in behalf of the cause of
''women's rights will advance that
cause by endeavoling to prevent the
concurrent action Of the Legislature
of 1881 and thus postpone It's submits
sion to vote of the people until a
more aUspicIOuS season.

The Oconto Republican OF Deem
Der Goth, in an article upon Guberna-
torial candidates. manifests a prefer
ence for Secretary of State Hans B..
Warner for Governor in the following
paragraph:
''Iie is one of Gods noblemen. and
as popular throughout the State us he
is good and honorable In the discharge
of his official duties and in his
intercourse with those who transact
business at his office The fact that
the Scandinayians in this State are
the back bone of the Republican party
aud that one of their nationality has
never occupied the Governors clair
gives them strong claim for the Of
tice. Mr.. Warner is a representative
man of that nationality; pure. high
minded and qualified, and would MAKE,
a safe, careful and judicious Gov
ernor.'
1t is source of qualification to the
people of Pierce county that their
esteemed fellow-citizen who now so
