CONSERVATIVE Detroit is being stirred up not
little from all accounts from that quarter by the
registration of 5000 women to vote for school in
spectors and also for holding that office themselves
Detroit is built very aristocratic, brown stone

Election upon the good taste of a proper, clean
city like the City of the Straits ESQ clean it is, that
one could easily believe it to have been swept and
busted seven days in the week., that its books of
registration are to be found only in saloons.
1t was curious to see the effect of woman's
presence in the saloons, where many of them were
compelled to register. All the saloon-keepers
made some pretense Of cleaning up, Some of the
saloons we're decorated, and none made any at

One dealer was unable to stand the sight of wom-

an suffrage and supposed his wife did, was aston

A bill has been introduced into the British House

count these things to be grandy true,
That noble deed is a step toward God,
Lifting the soul from the common sod
To purer air and broader view.
We rise by the things that are under our feet,
BY what we have mastered in greed and gain,
BY the pride deposed and the passion slain,
And the vanquished ills we hourly meet
We hope, we resolve, we aspire, we trust
When the morning calls to life and light
But our hearts grow weary, and ere the night
Our lives are trailing in sordid dust.
Wings forthe angels, but feet for mem
We must borrow the wings to find the way
We may hope, and resolve, and aspire and pray,
But our feet must rise or we fall again.
Only in dreams is the ladder thrown
From the weary earth to the sapphire WALL
But the dreams depart and the visions fall
And the sleeper wakes on his pillow of stone.

From the lowly path the vaulted skies,s

Woman's chronicle. (Little Rock, Ark.) 1888-1???, 1889-04-06

In no one thing has public sentiment undergone
such radical change as in regard to the recogni-
ton of women and the greater appreciation of
womans work. In order to understand the mar
velous advancement made by the female sex, and
the tosome, rugged paths through which she has
climbed toher present height of responsibility and
condition of semi-independence, one must needs
look back to those periods in history less enlght-
ened than our own, before the light of Christ's
example had dawned upon the human mind and
shed a radiance of love and mercy upon the weak
and lowly and oppressed. DR.. Louis Frank, in his
book upon the Woman Lawyer, translated by Mary
A. Greene for the Chicago Law journal, says the
council of Toledo, in the year 400, allowed a mar
ried clerk, whose wife had sinned, to confne her
in the house, to make her fast, and to chastise
her, without, however, attempting her life. A
jealous, blindly Infatuated husbnad was, in those
days, considered competent to deal out justice to
woman. Saint Augustine authorized every hus-
band to slap his wife in Fhe face. ''Woman is the
gate of the DEVIL" said Saint Jerome, 'the road
to iniquty, the sting 0tsthe,spogpioni in word,
dangerous species" "Woman has no compre-
hension of goodness adds Saint Gregory the
Great. In controversy relative to the question
of whether woman should be cassed with rational
beings or with brutes, the Council of Macon, in
581, asked of itself whether woman has soul and
whether she is really part of humanity. Even
the canon law of the early church declared that
'ill-treatment is not cause for separation unless
it exceed the limits of Legitimate correction, and
the husband seems to have had the sole right of
Judging as to what constituted Legitimate cor
recton." When these things are considered,
surely women have little cause to complain of the
advance they are making and in the heart of every
one there should dwell constant prayer Of thanks
giving that we were permitted to live in this en-
lghtened age.
The last issue of the Mississippi White Ribbon
has review of DR.. Blacks Christian Womanhood,
by Rowena S. Jones of Jackson, La. The writer
confesses herself at the outset to be woman
holding ''advanced" ideas, an ardent admirer and
advocate of her own sex. We give quotations
from the article: "The church, and rightly, usual
w represents the conservative element of the COM
munty, and that minister, and Southern min
lister at that, should be writing book for the adj
vancement of woman filled me with surprise; for
the advancement of woman stands so far in the
front ranks of innovation, that thought none but
the boldest dare declare in its favor. That such
book should have been written at such a time aud
in such place shows how rapidly right will win
its way, when once it gains the feeblest recogni-
ton. Only few years ago when women first
spoke in public Of their inequalities or even
wrote of them, they were held in utter scorn and
derision. Now the noblest pens in the nation do

Mr.. Ken nnd tlle ComnItteo.

The Wheeling correspondent OF the

the way, is Democrat, and a member u

away the secret Of the Delnocra ic end
OF tbs gubernatOrial contest committee.
According to this correspondent, there
is a lainentable lack Of harmony among

those who have not been permitted to
take a peep at what is going on behind
thescenes. With the majority Of the
committee divided, there is a strong
probability that the Democratic MAORI.
ty OF one in the Legislature will scarcely
be adequate to meet the emergency.
1t is possible that the news is reliable,
for 1t comes from a person who is pre-.
sumably in a position to know what Is
going on among the Democratic mem.
bers OF the committee. II is also posi-.
bio that the dispatch in question Is a
neat product Of an expert iakir who was
anxious to turn an honest (2) penny
by telling stories TO Republican paper
about alleged fights in his party.
Assuming that 1t is true, itlsrefreshing
tolearn that there isoneD Democratic mem
bor Of the Legislature who proposes to
do his own thinking and who refuses to
do the bidding ofthe party bosses. This
gentleman, 1t is said, is no less an ind.
vidual than Chairman Kee, and II would
not surprise those who know him II the
story turns out to be straight goods
for Of the three Democratic members, he
alone has shown throughout the inves.
tigation something like a desire to be
fair and Just, On more than one occa.
sion he voted with the Republican mem

should have been accepted, and Mr.. Kee
