Woman's chronicle. (Little Rock, Ark.) 1888-1???, 1888-10-06

In a stirring address recently delivered by Mrs
Olympia Brown, at Rockford, ILL.,, that lady has
set forth some of her own good reasons why the
intelligent women of America should exercise the
right of suffrage. She says:
"We enfranchise the saloon and the poorhouse
the irresponsible classes. We dsfranchse the
home, the church, the school, We make the
daughters of America subject to the serfs and
slaves from the old world. Such policy is suicidal
The arstocrices of the old world are based upon
noble birth, superior qualifications, merit in some
FORM The subject classes in the old world are the
lower and more ignorant classes. America alone
presents the spectacle of an aristocracy of panta-
looms. We are the first people to try the expert
ment of enfranchising ignorance, drunkenness and
all the vice, and subordinatng intelligence, patr
otism religion. Such an experiment must fail.
Already our republican institutions are in peril
with the great preponderance of foreign voters.
The only hope of the nation is the enfranchisement
of woman The census shows us that the Amer-
can woman greatly outnumber men, That the for
eign born men outnumber women. The voting of
women means vote for American institutions for
free government, free church, vote for purity
temperance and home.
Ii women love home or children or believe in
purity or desire the establishment of virtue let
them seek the right of suffrage with might, mind
and strength. The time for work is now. Let
each one do with his might what her hand findeth
to do in this great work.

curiosity to many is broad flat rock constituting
a part of the approach to the chimney, which is
called Balancing Rock, which stands upon pivot

Kindly, soons, tell us why,
Off the track you always fly,
When we ask the right fway
To the ballot-box to day.
Woman has been ever true,
Ready, willing, quick to do,
Been your comrade trusted, tried,
Bravely keeping at your side.
Nay, our naughty brothers, nay,
We're in politics to stay.
Tho the lawyers may insist,
And the preachers still persist,
That enfranchised woman's way,
Will the Nation wreck to day,
We will shoW the scribes and preachers
We are yet the best of teachers.
Surely it seems pleasant thing,
Dressing, shopping, in the Spring,
But untrammelled nor confined,
Are our souls to Crinoline.
Why should half our talents lie,
Buried from our brothers eye?
Nay, we must be wisdom wooins,
Still the cause of Right pursuing.
