The Barred Door.

To-day, there is not one door bar
red against women, and that is the
poles. The arts, literature, science
and business are all as open to her as
they are to men. Wherein, then, lies
the grievance of which SO many of the
progressive sisterhood complain. In
times past, ambitious women, who
felt qualified to become physicians,
lawyers, and students of the higher
order had much to resent,
but now that all of these obstacles
have been withdrawn and the Wild
wood bird is not more free than they !;
what is there left to clamor for? The
ballot, nothing but the ballot. Still
the war cry rings out just as shrilly as
before, while all over the United
States companies of valiant soldiers
are kept In perpetual drill. Under
the existing order of things, this cam
paign for equal rights is like holding
abolition meetings now that slavery
Established. Besides, if the sentiments
embodied in the speech which Mrs
Elizabeth Cady Stanton made at the
recent Wonan's Council are to be car
ried into effect, the question OF
female suffrage becomes moral as
we'll as a political one. Said that
lady: 81 have often said to men of
the present day that the next genera
ton of women will not stand arguing
with you as patiently as we have for
half century. The organizations of
labor all over the country are holding
out their hands to women. The time
Ia not far distant when, if
men do not do justice to women,
the women will strike hands
with labor, with socialists, with
