would fain transfer my sympathy to
the meek Mongolian; but his status is
less forlorn than that OF women, for,
across the Pacific, he has a country
that he can call his own. but we women
have none. i have no prejudice against
men for the mere accident of birth in a
foreign land; but the influence of the
environment to which they were there
subject units them for the immediate
just discharge Of the high duties of cit
izenship here, and they should remain
as many years here before assuming
those duties as are required of our ma
tive-born men. In several of these
States, by the unremitted but weary
work of nearly half century, we have
succeeded in educating our sons and
brothers into the principles of the Dec
laration of Independence. and they
have been ready to give us practical
illustration of government of and by
the people, when each year horde Of
men, with the tyranny from which
they have just fled, ingrained in their
nature, use their newly-conferred bal
lots to bar the way of native women to
freedom.
Must we wait till we can educate the
semi-barbarous tribes of all the earth
up to the principle of equal rights he
fore we are allowed the precious boon
of citizenship in our native land? The
outlook is disheartening.-Emiiy r.

A MISTAKEN IDEA,
A Common Error Concerning the True
Significance OF Woman's Rights.

A Common Error Concerning the True
Significance OF woman's Rights.
"Why, is this woman's rights?" said
friend at the close Of the large woman
suffrage festival recently held in Bos-
ton; Il thought woman's rights was
just voting; but these women talk about
education and home life and relief work,
and if this is it, believe in it." 1t is
to be hoped that the little lady's
thoughts were more lucid than her
words, else the meeting could have
done her small good. But the idea she
seemed trying to express is. unfortu-
nately, common. 1t is popular to
laugh at woman's rights and "woman's
rights women" as the champions of
the movement are called, and to pass
over the subject with a sheer. There
is. however, hardly a greater mistake
than to consider wOman's rights as
''iust voting" To be sure, the leaders
OF the cause believe in universal suf-
frage, and are doing all they can to Sc
cure the franchise for women; but this
is By no means the whole OF their work.
The women who are identified with the
movement are women who have given
their time and strength to the purifica-
ton of the home, ennoblement of the
women and the preservation of abe Ma
ton.
1t seems almost incredible that any
young woman can Join in the popular
derision of .'strong-minded women"
However strongly a girl may disap-
prove of the proposed suffrage, and
however much she may dislike the
present form of the wOman's rights
cause, her sense of gratitude should
move her to pay all respect and honor
to the women who are at the head of
the work. Whatever educational priv
ileges. whatever social freedom, yes,
whatever religious liberty. we younger
women enjoy, beyond that possessed by
our mothers and grandmothers. is al
most entirely due to the labors of wo-
men who were ridiculed and despised
for the work they did. They
have made possible Smith and Vassar
Colleges, Boston and Cornell Universe
ties; they have prepared the way for
such women as Frances Willard and
Alice Freeman Palmer: they have given
to the young women that part of our
American civilization which we prize
most dearly, our high position as wO-
men.-Golden Rule.

An Important Discovery

At the annual meeting of the Nation
al Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, lately held in New York City,
the president. Miss Frances Z. Willard,
said:
There have been many marvellous
discoveries in this much lauded nine
teenth century. but chief among them
is woman's discovery of herself. To
come to consciousness is evermOre to
come to power. Christ said: II am
come that We might have life. and that
We might have it more abundantly."
Consciousness, deepened, varied and
extended, is doubtless all there is Of
life in any world. When women come
to consciousness. they must inevitably
ask questions like these: Why should
we have no voice in making the laws
under which we may be imprisoned or
executed? Why should women have
no hand in pleading woman's cause or
determining her penalties? Why should
men, and men alone, have tho power of
life and death over women, and in all
cases OF indecorous. cruel or outrageous
conduct toward us? Why should men,
and men only, fix the penalties OF their
own crimes against the other half of
the human race, and appoint themselves
legislature, judge. jury and executive
in every case like this? Who has so
great a stake in the government as the
nations motherhood? Yet every law
and penalty on every statute-book of
this and every land was placed there by
men. and by men only.
There is no reason and no justice in
all this, and there can never be. Good
men know it right well, and they are
trying to bring us into the Govern
ment, that we may be tried by our
peers.

Women as Iron.Workers.

The fact is not generally known that
women are already occupying places
and doing work in iron mills and in
manufactures OF wire. Three years
ago the men in a Pittsburgh bolt manu-
factory gave so much trouble that they
were displaced by women. The ven-
ture proved to be marked success. so
that the employers could not be Undue
ed to go back to men and boys. The
wire mill, which was established about
that time, took up with the idea, and
again every thing worked satisfactory
lily. Then hinge factory was opened
to them, and once more the women
proved better workers. more reliable
and less troublesome than their male
rivals. How far the innovation will go
can not be estimated.
