What a pity he had not been born in
Central Africa In the savage state
brute force is the only power known.
The one who by sheer physical power
Overcomes his fellows is chief. In this
condition the position Of woman is the
lowest known. The Greeks were in
ancient times the most intellectual peo-
pie of whom we have any history and
they furnish a good example Of intellect
ruling supreme. uninfluenced by any
high religious considerations. Under
such conditions woman occupied a much
higher position than in savage lands
Yet she was not rated as mans equal.
For il woman was mans equal intel
lectually, why have we not scrap of
literary work by a woman. from this
prominently literary people? No
power is subject to an equal or infe-
riOr one. 1t does not seem there
was any claim, or any evidence of
equality between the sexes in ancient
Greece. But with Christianity comes
a power that is far above intellect and
controls to greater extent, even
now. than a great many intellectu-
ally wise people seem to be aware of.
This is the power of love, of goodness.
God is love-" the highest power that
exists, the power that rules over all. It
is a power that rules by winning, that
rules with the glad consent of the ruled
instead of against their consent. just
in proportion as this power controls,
woman's position advances. Jesus will
conquer the world by love. The most
prominent trait of His life on earth was
His utter unselfshness. His sacrifice of
Himself for those He loved. And this
is exactly where women have won their
laurels- In our day women have entered
into almost every line of work where
men are engaged. In literary work it
will not be disputed that their greatest
achievements have been through the
power of love, in leading, attracting,
not in driving. The power of love will
eventually reign supreme on this sinful
earth. All other powers will come un-
der its control. Then women will be-
in the front. They will not need mas
tiers, and there will not be any able to
master them. That women are more
subject to the power Of Gods love than
men, the greater number in nearly all
Christian churches is sufficient evil
dence. That women exert the power of
love in greater degree than men, is
evidenced by their greater success in
Christian work wherever they under
take it.-Interior.

SUFFRAGE NOTES.

'.THE Government of the United
States ought either to free women from
paying taxes or else give them the
vote. DIR. Tdlmage.
A GEORGIA editor says that the rea-
son why Liberty is always pictured as .
woman is because Liberty, to survive,
must be vigilant. and there is no blind
side to a woman.
As we want more goodness and less
devilishness put into the ballot box on
election days, do not know a better
plan to gain that end than that of let
ting the better half of humanity have
an opportunity to vote.-GeO. r. Scott.
THERE is no manner of doubt that the
sphere of women is properly to be en-
larged, and that republican govern
ments in particular, are to be saved
from corruption and failure only by al
lowing to women this enlarged sphere.

MEN have granted us in law, in the
privileges and civil rights Of society
which we have been demanding, almost
every thing but the pivotal right, the
one power that underlies all other

Republic may protect all other rights

WOMAN suffrage could not but be for
the present good OF the nation. The
woman vote would be against the
nominees of gambling and saloon rings
as a matter of course, and would be q
strong force against the overwhelming
power of stockholders and corner
monopolists.-Rer. Nm. Burgess.

Progress Abroad.

The German Emperor has given his
consent that the bust OF a lady should
have place among the memorial stat
ues at the Berlin University. The lady
thus distinguished is the Countess
Louise Bose. who at her death a few
years ago left nearly the whole of her
considerable fortune to the Berlin Uni
versity to enable poor medical students
to pursue their studies, and to help
medical men to enlarge their knowl-
edge by making scientific journeys of
discovery. This is a beginning to the
opening of German universities to wo-
men, and we hope it will cheer on their
way the brave ladies who have lately
formed society at Weimar. which I'M
der the name of "Frauenverein Re-
form" has for its aim the opening to
girls and women of all the professions
at present monopolized by men. How
great and difficult is their task, any
body acquainted with the woman
question" in Germany will understand.

which is the greatest obstacle in the
way of all reform?
The gain in woman suffrage would
not merely be that it would bring into
play. in the direction Of public affairs
and the settlement Of social questions.
those qualities of the feminine mind and
character complementary to the mas
culine mind and character, but that it
would interest in public questions the
mothers, sisters, sweethearts, wives
and daughters of men, and, as a conse-
quence, bring to these questions more
of the attention, the thought and the
conscience OF men themselves And
that more attention, more thought, and
more conscience should be devoted to
public affairs, is the imperative neces-
sity Of an advancing civilization. The
tendency OF increasing population and
growing cities. the tendency Of all the
inventions and improvements that now
80 rapidly succeed each other, is to in
crease the relative Importance of gen.
eral interests. and to require quicker
intelligence and higher conscience for
the management Of public affairs.-M.

CALIFORNIA REJOICES.

signing Oh the EXCLUSION Bill creates
Joy-Habeas Corpus Difficulties Ahead.
SAN Francisco, Oct. 2.--The news of
President Cleveland's approval of the
Chinese Exclusion bill was recei yed here
yesterday with marked degree If inter.
est, large crowds congregating around the
newspaper bulletin boards and discussing
the situation. The Chinese manifested
considerable excitement. The principal
subject of discussion here was as to what
effect the measure would have upon the
several thousand Chinese who had
arrived here within the past year and
been released by the Federal courts on
writs Of habeas corpus and were out on
bail awaiting examination, and also on
the thousand or more Chinese now on their
way to this port. About two hundred
Chinese arrived here Saturday OH the
City Of New York, and the Belgic will be
due next Thursday with eight hundred.
Three other steamers are now on the Pa
cific with over a thousand celestials bound
for this port.
Collector Of the Port Hager expressed
himself as being doubtful of the bills Of.
fectiveness. "The presel. bill," he said,
sis intended to exclude Chinese. So was
the Restriction act. But did the Restric.
ton act exclude them! II the same prin.
ciple is applied to this bill as was applied
to the other don't see that it is going to
be any great improvement. II the courts
can continue to land Chinese on writs of
habeas corpus and allow them on our
soil, that will abrogate any kind Of
restriction attempted by Congress. When
they are allowed bail they are in the cum
try and they forfeit their bail and remain
here in spite of the law" He concluded
by stating that in all probability when Of
ficially informed Of the passage and ap-
proval of the bill he would refuse landing
to Chinese whether bearing return certifi-
Gates or not unless writs Of habeas corpus
were issued by the courts, in which case
the matter would be out of his hands.
United States District Attorney Carey
stated that in his opinion the bill could
not affect the 5000 Chinese now out on
bail, but he believed that those now on
their way here would be refused landing.
He further stated that he did not believe
writs Of habeas corpus would be issued,
except possibly in one or two cases, in or
der to make a test of the matter.
A prominent lawyer who handles Chi.
nese cases almost exclusively in the Fed
eral courts stated that in his opinion writs
of habeas corpus would still have to Is is
sued to Chinese, demanding them, as it
was a constitutional right, and that bail
also would have to be issued, as heretofore.
He also expressed the belief that
all Chinese holding return certif-
Gates could return to this country
in spite Of the Exclusion bill, as the United
States Supreme Court had decided on sew.

WoMAN'S OPINION.
One Great BENEFIT to be Derived From wo-
man Suffrage.

One Great BENEFIT to be Derived From wo-
man Suffrage.
The main argument for woman suf-
frage is not that it will enable women
to vote, but that it will lead women to
think. In all questions Of politics
that is to say, in all questions of law
and government-wOmenh have as direct
and vital interest as men. II times are
hard and wages low, must not women
stin. and strain and slave? II people
are crowded into narrow tenement
rooms, and children die by thousands
before there time, upon which sex does
the discomfort and pain most bitterly
fallp 1t is true that women can not
fight, or, rather, that it is not the
custom of civilized nations to drag or
bride them into armies or navies for the
purpose of standing ready to wound or
kill each other. But for every man
who wears a uniform is there not some
woman, his natural complement, left at
home to get along as best she can?
And do the losses, the wastes, tine agon-
les of war, fall more lightly on women
than On men? If one sex must shed
blood, are not the tears of the other
often bitterer than blood?
But with this direct and vital interest
in public questions, women, not being
called upon to pass upon such questions,
are accustomed to regard them as be-
yond their sphere, and if they think OF
them at all to think of them Mppantly.
And this disposition of one-half of our
people must exert a powerful influence
upon the other half.
Men take less intelligent interest in
public affairs because of the little in
telligent interest that woman take.
The conservatism that springs from the
indisposition to think; the neglect of
general interests which arises from fail
ure to appreciate how powerfully gen.
eral interests affect individual interests,
are largely reflected from the opinion
of women into the opinion of men.
Does not this account for much of the
sluggishness and flippancy Of our
thought upon the most important public
questions Does it not account for much
of the difficulty in getting the masses
to realize the relation between bad laws
and hard times ? Does it not largely ac-
Vuns for that dull, stolid conservatism

WOMEN DOCTORS.


A Profession i'm Which There is Room fol
women-A Few Suggestions for Begin
ners.
Years ago there was a prejudice
against women practicing medicine, but
that has almost totally disappeared
and capable and excellent women ply.
sicians are now graduated, and their
services are in demand. Dr. Mary
jacob, who is one of the best physi-
clans in New York. and whose income
is put as high as $4,000 yearly. says
that women physicians are making
rapid strides forward. A great many
women are to-day serving in the ca
pacity Of nurses who ought TO be max
ing money and fame and, best of all,
alternating distress as physicians. They
lack only the necessary collegiate train
ing and hospital experience. and it is
well worth while to put themselves to
some trouble to acquire these. A wo-
man in taking hold of the practice OF
medicine, or rather her preliminary
education, should study her ground
carefully. She can in a short time
make blunders which years will not
undo. She ought to decide what par
ticular branch of practice is best suited
to her tastes and to the locality
which she proposes to select for her
home.
1t is useless for woman to attempt a
general practice, such as we see most
men physicians engaged in. They are
not physically able to endure it, neither
is it prudent for them to be abroad at
night even with an attendant. OF
course, exceptional cases will arise
where her services will be needed at
night. but in nearly every instance she
can be prepared for it, and use her own
good judgment in planning for her ar
rangements. A man physician is not
expected to consult his own pleasure as
TO the class of people he is called to at
tend, the character of disease, or any
thing of that kind; but with woman
it is different. She can not tear away
from the custom of her sex and still
command respect Therefore, it is best
for her to select speciality, and con-
duct as far as possible an Office practice.
The diseases of women are specially
to be recommended. In this direction
lie the greatest possibilities, and if
women physicians were to study this
branch Of practice devotedly and con-
scientiously, and crown their work with
success, the day is not far distant when
the man physician would be the second
choice Of suffering woman-kind. This
is but natural. The diseases of sie eye,
ear and throat offer the most fattering
pecuniary advantages and freedom from
exposure. For the woman who has
sufficient bravery and energy. who will
study with her whole heart and win
diploma meritoriously, there seems to
be bright future just discernable in
the distance all rosy with the prospects
OF success.-W oman's Work.

Lake Erie very early in the season and
while there was much ice. When they
were well out the captain saw to his hor.
TOR that the ice was closing in on him from

cabin the passengers and all the crew that
could be spared from their posts and told
them the ship must be lost unless God in

Christian he said: Let US pray" and
they all knelt asking God to come for their
deliverance. They went back to the deck,
and the man at the wheel shouted: "All
