ATTACK ON SENATOR BLAIR.

ATTACK ON SENAVOH BLANK.
Chicago Lady Takes tho l,isting gu shed
Geutleman to Task for Views ON WOm-
an suffrage.
A Mrs C. F. Corbln, of Chicago,
takes Senator Blair to task. in an
.'open letter. for advocating woman
suffrage.
Mrs. Corbin says that marriage is a
partnership. and that ''the question is
whether each partner shall keep to
that line of labor which nature has
marked" This is begging the ques-
ton at the start The precise point at
issue Is whether there is any thing
contrary to nature in a woman drop
ping slip Of paper into box, or any
incompatibility between rearing a
family properly and taking an intelli-
gent interest in public questions. The
advocates of woman suffrage believe
that the two things could and should
go together. The best wife and
mother is the one who can be an in
telligent companion to her husband
and a broad-minded teacher to her
children.
Mrs. Corbin says that eff women
vote. they must hold Office" She
seems to imply that all women must
hold Office, whether they will or no;
whereas not one voter in hundred
ever holds Office. and no one is obliged
to take Office against his will. Mrs.
Corbin points out that it would be in
convenient for the mother of a young
family TO go to Congress. Undoubs-
edly. The mother of q young family
would not be likely to be asked TO go
to Congress. and would not be likely
to consent if she were asked. But she
nigh. have very definite idea as to
the sort of man she wanted to send to
Congress to represent her and her chill
dren; and there is no reason why her
opinion should not be counted. along
with those of her husband, father and
brother. Many men are occupied with
engrossing business cares which would
; make it inconvenient for them to 20 to
Congress; and they do not 60. But
they do not lose their votes on that ac-
count. House mothers would simply
belong in the same category.
Mrs. Corbin says:
"The direct tendency of woman SUI
frage would be to form such class of
women as held high court in Greece in
the days preceding its downfall. 80.
Are American men prepared to rele-
gate the wives and mothers of this Re-
public to a secondary and subservient
place. and share the political leader
ship of this great and free country with
an oligarchy Of Aspasias?"
1t is the advocates of woman suf-
frage, by the way. who object to hav-
ing the wives and mothers of the Re-
public ''relegatcd to secondary and
sutservient place." and classed politi-
cally with children. idiots and GRIM
inals. But, seriously. woman suf-
frage is the last thing that would con-
duce to reign of Aspasias; and it is
hard to see how any sensible person
an entertain such an idea. The great
majority of women are not bad, but
good; and good women are not famous
for liking bad ones. The idea that the
mass of American wives and mothers
would either eject bad women to Office,
or suffer them to be elected, is almost
too absurd for serious discussion

We often hear the question asked:

are many reasons; one is want Of good

most any direction in the country and
see waste going on; moving machines
not housed. agricultural implements
lying promiscuously around. with
wagons, carts. and perhaps sleighs,
and the manure thrown outside Of the

MATTHEW ARNOLD.

In Matthew Arnold, who died of
heart disease on April 10th, England
has lost one of her greatest literary
men, whether regarded as a critic,
poet or prose writer. Some of the
most perfect criticism ever written is
to be found in his essays. His verse
is calm, chaste and noble, while there
is throughout his style of thought a
certain antique grandeur strikingly in
contrast with modern poetry.
Matthew Arnold was born in 1922
at Laleham, near Staines, England,
the son of the renowned DR.. Thomas
Arnold, head master of Rugby, alike
distinguished as a scholar, historian
and educator.
OF Mr.. Arnold's prose works the
principal are Essays in Criticism
"Literature and Dogma" and "Cul-
ture and Anarchy" "Tristram and
Iseult," "Thyrsis, +" "Sohrab and
Rustum," "Balder Dead" and "The
Strayed Reveller," are among his best
known poems,

1t is said to be home story, with

st. Nicholas for May is more than
usually fine, interesting as it is to old
as well as young. The opening Illus
tration, "Violets, Sweet Violets," is
an exquisitely lovely thing from
famous painting. There are military
stories, bear stories, doll stories,
flower stories, and a number of be-
witching pieces of poetry, all the
work of best known writer's. The
contents is particularly varied and in
teresting to all ages and tastes. st.

The American Magazine for May
contains an unlimited number of fine

Cooke, on "The Women of the

our southern women. A very beau
tiful engraving of Fanny Kemble
adorns the first page. "The Bellies

of some famous beauties, is also
tribute to woman. "The Art Student
