Their Right to Vote.

From The Dawn, sydney Austraa
AS to the right of women to the franchise: what
sort of lopsded figure of Justice do you worship?
A thing with large ear listening to the demands
OF men, and no car at all for women; so that
women may only complain by means of some man
who is not ashamed to espouse woman's cause
Who made men masters, who gave them the right
to ordan that the opinion of woman shall be abso-
lutely without weight or effect? She may have all
the qualifications of voter, but is denied all the
power which belongs TO the right of individual
opinion in man. 1t would be as reasonable to
say that woman should not think nor form anv
wish or Judgment, as to say as now, that no re-
suit may follow the formation of her wish and her
opinion. 1t is by the enactment of laws that
changes are effected and reforms made active vet
The opinion OF good woman is valueless, while
the opinion of bad men can powerfully STAY the
good and preserve the evil; he votes where every
vote tells The ballot is the modern expression of
opinion, the act of government made bv everv in
dvldual yet though woman's happiness and
safety are intimately enwrapped in such questions
as education, wages and hours of work, divorce
ntemperance, vice and gambling, she can give no
practical effect to her wishes her lords dictate
and she must submit ''Moral suaslon' is open
to her; the power of The law is his. The fact is
that womens influence is too good they would
be always for the extinction of abuses and for the
roofing out of vices which destroy happiness
health and fortune. The bad men fear their pro-
pension to good, and vain men cannot endure the
thought of their influence being operative in any,
thing.

The Kansas legislature rose up in wholesome
and righteous indignation at the time of the dread
full assassination of John NJ Clayton in Arkansas
and composed some resolutions, whereases, etc.,
and offered timely suggestions to the government
to put this State under martial law, quite as though
the murder had been bill presented and passedby
the legislature of Arkansas. Activity lin the cause
of virtue is always most commendable, but wis
dom is, after all, the principal thing, according to
authority higher even than the Kansas legislature
Last week bill was presented to the Kansas legis
ature to lower the age of consent from Is to Y
years of age, The press has been loud in its de-
nunciation of this bill. The suffrage societies
have stirred things up not little. The anti-suf-
fragists doubtless think it very tedious having
women about meddlng with what doesn't concern
them. There are some women in Arkansas who
would recommend little apron-strng law for the
Kansas legislature.

TWO PAPERS FOR THE PRICE OF ONE.

Nor quite two cents copy is the price asked
for an ei9ht-page weekly, known throughout this
and many other States as the only paper published
in Arkansas devoted to the interests of women.
Fifty-two copies for 81 seems an incredibly low
figure, and yet The WoMAN's CHRONICLE offers in
this issue something more-a premium-notf for the
largest number of new subscribers, but to EACH
NEW subscriber for one year.
BY special arrangements made with the proprie-
tors, the well known and popular paper, "TExAs
FARM AND RANCH" will be given to every new
subscriber for one year. Don't fail to read the
advertisement and send at once to the office of
WoMAN's CHRONICLE and secure the two papers for
the sum of 81. Sample copies will be sent on re-
ceipt of 2-cent postage stamp.

were more Heens than any other half dozen Names

Nevertheless, although II melted be-

To render this paradox more striking
we have only to remember that ice,
