THE woMAN's CRUSADE.
Brief but Eloquent Plea for women's
Rights.

Rights.
do not know what you may think
of the woman's crusade, says Mary I.
Lathrop, in the Romans journal, but
let me say, as woman who stood in
side it, that the womanhood OF this
nation never laid such tribute at the
feet of its manhood. If you want to
find out what boy is worth, go and
ask his mother. BY the time she goes
into the jaws of death to give him
birth, and then puts into him her days
of love and her nights of care, and he
stands before her strong and clean and
tall at twenty-one, she can tell you
what he is worth from the crown
of his head to the soles of his feet; and
when the legalized dram-shop takes
hold of him, and tears him down fiber
by fiber, and puts oaths on the lips that
she used to kiss, and brushes out his
mothers hopes, it is no wonder she
makes cutlery.
If you want to know what home is

lilies for her marriage day, when, with
great shine in her eyes, she puts her.
self over into the hands of one man,
for better or for worse, for richer or
for poorer, until life's end. And when
the dram-shop with its fearful curse
crosses the threshold of the home they
built together, and takes down her
strong tower of hope, stone by stone,
and degrades the father of her chill
dren, it is no wonder woman makes
cutlery.
What was the woman's crusader 1t
was long-smothered sob breaking in
to cry; it was midnight prayer
coming abroad at MONDAY. You
men sometimes say to us. as we stand
in places like this: "Home is your
kingdom" We do not dispute it.
We know it better than you know it.
But it was our kingdom that was out
ragged. You say to us, standing bal
lotless and defenseless before this
vampire of our civilization: "You do
not need the ballot; we defend you
by love and by law" Do you, when
for eighty-iive years. by we!l-de-
fined license legislation, mother
hood has been uncrowned and
her children slain by law. and
you have made no protest against itP
You have prayed about it in prayer
meeting; but when it came to the
sweep of empire in the ballot-box and
in political organizations, you have
made no protest. o men, l do not be-
lieve q civilization is worth much that
can not protect its women and--its
babies. And, grand as you are, and
strong as you are, and true as you are.
you will never be able to protect your
women and your children and the
dram-shop at the same time. Oh, in
shame, in very shame, either get up
and strike down this enemy of the
home and of wifehood and of child
hood, or else put the ballot into the
hands of your women for their own pro-
| lection!

WOMAN'S DEPARTMENT.
AoELsERT COLLEGE.
An Institution Which Has Shut Its Doors
Against Women.


An Institution Which Has Shut Its Doors
Against Women.
1t Is definitely decided that Adelbert
College shall no longer admit girls.
and Cleveland, O.. is in a ferment OF
excitement. The decision is unpopular
with the mass of the citizens, as we'll as
with the young women now in the col
lege. But the alumni, most of whom
graduated before Adelbert admitted
women. are opposed to co-education.
Dr. Haydn, the new president, is also OPP
posed; above all, few rich men are
understood to be willing to give large
sums to the college on condition that
the young women are excluded. Ac-
cordingly, the deed is done. The girls
now in college will be allowed to finish
their course, but will not recite with
the young men; and no more girls will
be admitted. There is some talk about
providing an annex for women in the
future; but the college has not money
enough at present to establish one.
Young women have been admitted
to Adelbert since 1884, and it is adj
mitted that they have taken more than
their share of the honors. The two
scholars who stand highest in this
years class are girls. Judge Epson.
vice-president Of the board of trustees,
said in his speech at the inauguration
of the new president:
"For those young women who have
entered our doors in days past and are
with us now, we have nothing but
words of commentator. Their course
through these untroubled years has
been characterized by fitting decorum.
studlousness and fidelity, crowned with
success"
Judge Epson defended the exclusion
of the girls at great length. He said
that Ohio abounded in coeducational
colleges, some of them so large and
successful that Adelbert could not COM
pete with them. There was no de-
mand for another coeducational col
lege, but separate college-or rather,
two separate colleges, one for men and
one for women-would meet real
want Oh the part of parents who did
not believe in coeducation.
Judge Epson favors the union of the
two medical colleges that now exist in
Cleveland, and enlarged upon the folly
and needless expense of keeping up
two colleges for the same purpose in
the city, when one strong institution
would do as well and better. He went
on to advocate the establishment,
wherever possible, of two colleges side
by side, one for boys and the other for
girls, and did not seem to perceive the
inconsistency of his argument More.
over, the proposed annex for girls is
as yet "all in the air" and may never
become an accomplished fact Mean
while, Cleveland girls who want col.
legiate education will have to 60 away
from home to get it, and much dissat-
isfaction prevails.
1t remains to be seen whether Abel.
bert's new departure win be a success
financially. 1t will attract gifts from
the opponents of coeducation; but the
money of the friends of coeducation
will 60 elsewhere. The latter class i;
growing, the former steadily diminish
ing. Justice and liberality are princi
Piles to be followed, whether they pay
or not; but in the long run they gen
erally do pay Womdns Journal.

That makes all objects seem
Like topsy-turvy things we see
In some fantastic dream.

Gets all grotesquely wrong;
II makes the man who's very thin
Look BROADER than he's long;
II makes the corn-crib sadly warp;
1t makes the pond hill;
II makes the fence that's long and straight
just ripple like rill;
1t makes the cock an ostrich tall;
1t makes the cat pard;
II makes the gardeners pleasant smile
A smile Of half yard.
The bulldog is a great hop-toad,
While In the sun he squats;
The horse looks crooked, with his legs
Tied up in funny knots.
And d be sorry II through life
My fate should be to pass
With eyes that could distort things like
