What Is Needed.

Numerous letters published by the
Chicago Times describe large numbers
of girls working under stringent rules
and unhealthy conditions by the piece,
receiving from $3.50 to 81 per week for
ten hours daily work. These girls are,
averse to homework, on the ground Of
social inequality, loss of independence
and especially the want of any time
which they can call their own. One
writer describes daughter who gets
for her work less than her mother pays
out for liquor, and assigns as the two
chief causes of the surplus of female
labor, the saloons and the thoughtless
cruelty of many housewives. Another
complains that the schools teach the
girls nothing for which the employers
are willing to pay. Cases are named
where girls engaged in housework in
farmers households have been over
worked and underfed until their health
has been utterly ruined. The conclu-
sion is, "You will find the poor slave
on the farm, in the kitchen, in the shop,
everywhere" The only remedy seems
to lie in free public industrial educa-
ton and the ballot. If girls were
taught sewing, cooking, Homework,
mechanic arts and skilled industry, with
punctuality, cleanliness and fore
thought, they would be lifted into con-
dition of comparative independence. =

LEADING SUFFRAGISTS.

KATE KANE and Ellen A. Martin,
who are practicing law in Chicago, are
both graduates of the Michigan State
University at Ann Arbor. One is a
native of Virginia and the other Of
New York.
A SAN FRANCISCO correspondent,
writing to the Won,an's Journal, says:
II can not give you any idea of the en-
thusiasm. interest and love Mrs. Julia
Ward Howe has awakened all over
California. There never was woman
so universally honored here"
THE ability of our State organizer
has attracted notice even in far away
England. The Westminster and Lambeth
Gazette says: What stirring, Jealous
Association the Massachusetts Women's
Suffrage Society must be TO start seven
new leagues in one month";" The seven
new leagues were formed by Miss Pond
in April; and during the previous
month she had organized eight.
Mrs. MILLICENT GARRETT FAwcETr,
in a recent address on woman suffrage,
said that she heard one gentleman say
he would Ego solid" for Mr.. Gladstone,
and perhaps others would do the same
with respect to Lord Salisbury, but
when women had the power OF voting,
she hoped they would Ego solid" for
theten commandments, and not be in
| auenced by party. This sentiment was
cheered, as it deserved to be.
AT recent Congressional hearing on
woman suffrage, Southern lady, Mrs.
Judge Merrick, OF New Orleans, was
called upon to answer a remark OF Sem
ator Brown 10 the effect that no South
ern women wanted to vote. Mrs. Mer-
rick said that she had been suifragisi
from her birth, and that she had Won
her husband, two sons and her brother
, to her way Of thinking. She wanted
the ballot for herself md four grand
daughters.

WOMAN'S DEPARTMENT.
SOUND SENSE.

Pros and Cons of the Suffrage Question
A Weighty Argument In Favor of Women
as Voters.
The arguments on the subject OF
woman suffrage are many and varied,
but they all resolve themselves into
questions of capacity and expediency.
The question of mental capacity on the
part of woman to handle State ques-
tons has been more than answered in
hundreds of ways. Women are doing
grand work for home and State in
many ways that necessitates their
meeting and solving some of the gravest
questions of the day. Then there is
the question of physical capacity. The
argument that ''the ballot represents
the bullet" is thought by some to be
clincher by all aspiring womankind.
"Women can not fight is their cry,
therefore they ought not to vote"
Yet the advocates OF this idea never d.
vance the equally tenable one that the
lame, halt and blind of masculine hui
mainly should be DISTINGUISHED. The
Quakcrs are exempted from military
duty on account of their principles, yet
their men are allowed to vote. More
than a | that, during our late war, the
class known as the best fighters, young
men of eighteen or twenty, were not al
lowed vote, although they were risk
ing their lives for their country, while
the best voters in the land, the think
ing men above forty-fve years Of age,
were not allowed to enlist. This would
make it seem as though the argument
of physical incapacity were insufficient.
The questions of expediency are many.
''There are so many bad women who
would vote" cry some timid ones.
The proportion of bad women to good
ones is many times smaller than that OF
bad men to good, yet all men are not
disfranchised for the sake of the black
sheep among them. There would be
such an influx of qlninformed voters
upon the country" say others, "as would
ruin our institutions" This argument
was insufficient to defeat the civil rights
bill, however, nor did the disfranchise-
ment of the blacks prove the great evil
such thinkers prophesied it would be.
In fact, there is only one class of oppo
nents to woman suffrage who have {
clear, logical argument for their side
and one which can not be overcome Oh
gainsaid. The liquor interest declare
that it is absolutely opposed to woman
suffrage. For" said its representa-
tives in convention, sit is the last hope
of the temperance people," There Is
their whole argument in nutshell, ant
it is also mighty argument for thu
suffragists.
If men are sincere in their profes
sions of desire to protect and aid wo
man, let them place in her hands tn,
weapon which they themselves hav,
found most effective in fighting wrong
the ballot, and they may rest assured
that she will use that weapon as she ha
used every means of advancement tina
has been given -conscientiously
wisely, womanfully, and that the worl
will be the better for her influence an
power in the State.-Sdn Francisc

TENNESSEE, THURSDAY,

on the principle set down in these
words: There is one sense in which,
without the inspiration OF prophecy or
the charge of imposture, one may rea-
sonably and beneficially venture to in
dulge in the mystery of fortune telling.
Knowing that, in the established sue
cession of human affairs certain causes
will produce corresponding effects, one
may read the future in the past, and
boldly predict that the spendthrift will
come to want, the debauchee to prema-
ture decay, the idler to contempt, the
gamester to bitterness of soul, if not to
suicide, the prohigate TO remorse and
the violator of the laws to punish
ment." And all this without money
and without price, and without the aid
of tea or coffee grounds. cups or cards.

One Dollar Per Year.

upon the woman suffrage movement
every time, for the ballot in the hand
of woman means the downfall OF our
trade When the bill by which the
women OF Washington Territory had
the ballot and secured local option, was
declared unconstitutional by the SUI
preme Court of the Territory, there
were bonfres. bell-ringings and beer on
tap in the public square of many town
and village, where the saloon-keepers
celebrated their jubilee because the
women had lost their right to vote.
Happily this right has been restored by
an overwhelming majority at the hands
Of the Legislature of 1888.
Sirh. Wherever woman have had
the ballot they have used it in the in
terest of home and against the saloons,
the gambling-houses, and the haunts OF
infamy. In Kansas, $4,000 women
voted tn the spring of 1887 The
State librarian at Topeka carefully ex-
amined the files of the eight hundred
newspapers OF Kansas, and reports that
practically without exception they bear
testimony, direct and indirect, to the
good behavior of the women at the
polls, the courteous manner in which
they were treated, and the over
whelming influence they exerted in
favor of morality. The law in Kansas
prohibits a crowd at the ballot-box, and
requires that around 1t fifty feet OF
space shall be kept clear, persons going
one by one to drop their ballots in the
box In Arkansas, woman's "ballot by
signature has cleared the saloons out
of three-fourths of the counties. In
Canada, five provinces give restricted
municipal suffrage to women, and the
concurrent testimony OF all parties and
| OF the Minister OF Finance, Hon. George
Foster, is that the result is altogether
in the interest of temperance and
morality faNr
The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, while fully convinced that the
ballot is the right of every woman in
the nation, just as much as it is the
right of every man, does not base its
line of argument upon this fact, but
upon the practical value that woman's
vote will have in helping the nation to
put away the liquor traffic and its ac-
companying denominations. We do not
ask it for ourselves alone; we are i'm
! partial friends OF the whole human
race in both its fractions, man and wo-
man, and hence we are not more in
earnest for this great advance because
of the good it brings to the gentler,
than because of the blessing that it
promises to those of the stronger sex.

POINTS FOR SUFFRAGE.

Reasons for woman's Enfrane hisement Ify
Frances Il. willard, President of the wo-
mans National Council.
Doubtless the strongest points in favor
of woman suffrage are:
First. That it is founded on the UNI
changing principles of justice. Every
reasonable man knows that 1t is not
right to tax a class without represent
ing that class, to inflict penalties upon
a class that had no hand in determining
what those penalties should be, to gov
ern one-half of the human race by the
other half All injustice to one class
works harm to every other.
Second. The best government known
to the race is found in a home where
father and mother have equal power,
as is the case in an enlightened modern
Christian family. No other place is so
free from temptation, and no other
conserves so completely the best inter-
est of all who dwell therein. Reason
ing from analogy, the larger home of
society, and that largest home of all
called government" might be more
like this typical home, and in proper
ton as they are made like unto it, So
ciety and government will more thor
oroughly conserve the interest of all,
and shut out the pests of civilization.
Third. The two most strongly mark
ed instincts of woman are those of pro-
/ lection for herself and little ones, and
of love and loyalty to her husband and
her son. On the other hand, the two
strongest instincts that to-day defend
the liquor traffic and drink habit are
avarice in the dealer and appetite in the
drinker. 1t has been said that civiliza-
ton has nothing with which it can off
set these two tremendous forces. But
may it not be found that in the home
through the reserve power never ye'
called into government on large scale
woman's instincts Of self-protection ani
of love are sufficient offset TO appe
tite and avarice, and will out-vote boil
at the poles? For 1t must be remem
bered that in republic, all questions
of morality sooner or later find thei
way to the ballot-box, and are votet
up or down.
Fourth There are ffty-four Thousand
men in the psnitentiaries of the Unite'
States against FIVE thousand women. A
- r. 10 n
power morally in the republic.
Fifth There is no enemy dreaded $
much by liquor-dealers and saloon
keepers as woman with the ballot !
her hand. Secret circulars sent out b
them. and intercepted by our temper
ance leaders. state this explicitly. On
of these is addressed to a legislato
and reads to this effect; '.Set your be
