Reply to MR.. Blanchard


To the Editor of the Press:
have read with interest DIR. Blanchard's
courteous reply to my letter in your paper of
the 23rd instant
Were thefquestion of giving the ballot,
only to such women as Mrs. Stevens, Mrs
Merrill and the others whom DR.. Blanchard
mentions. there need be no remonstrance
whatever. Did universal suffrage include
only women of certain degree of education,
or women who hold taxable property, much
opposition would be silenced.
But If Mrs Stevens votes so also must the
women who traffic in rum. If Mrs. Mellow
ell holds ballot. so does many a female who
signs cross (x) in lieu of her own name.
And the ignorant women outnumber the
wise. 1 have spoken lately with great
many women on the subject. A large pro
portion have answered, Il don't know moth
ing about it." Some added, II don't want to
know nothing" And these were not of the
so-called flower classes" but persons living
in highly respectable houses.
But Madam" | pleaded, ''this subject
has been agltated for 80 years. Surely you
mo. amt" they said. 81 don't know
IlMea culpa; once lost my temper.
And yet it Is into the hands of such as

re. But the ballot educates," we are told.
sometimes. In drgree. But we fail to
find that it has educated half the men hold
ing 1t. And women are no more teachable,
no more above bribery, no less subject to
sins OF ignorance and vanity than are men.
Is the reason that DIR. Gerrish wishes
womans vote on the State Board of Health,
because she knows so much more on the
subject. than do the men who have made it
q profound study for years? 1t seems to me
that IL men trained to the work have failed
TO know their own business, tine mere voting
OF a large number of women might also miss
the mark. BY all means let us have intelli-
gent women on our Poor Board. But may
they not be appointed as they are on the
Boards OF other intistutions-the Orphan
Asylum-the Temporary Home?
mat Mrs. Howe, Mrs Livermore and DIR.
Hill approve of the ballot being given to
women, is as far as it goes, weighty sug-
gestion. But even gazing al Mr.. Longfellow's
statue does not convince me that may not
properly hold different opinion from his.
mat he wrote poetry acknowledge, but that,
consequently his judgment ION all subjects
was infallible Is yet to be proved. Were
there possibility of limiting the present
male vote-of excluding from the polls
foreigners, Ignorant of American politics,
of refusing the ballot to men who can neither
read nor write, l would say, "Amen,
Amen" But, as matters now stand is it
expedient to double. double, toll and
trouble" by adding the mass of undiscip-
lined Ignorant women.

THE PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA.
Portland is to be congratulated upon hay-
ing an orchestra of which she may be proud
in the Philharmonic, which gave its first
public concert last evening in Mechanics
Hall. We have had small orchestras, but it
is long time since the city possessed an in
strumental organization of the size and merit
of the Philharmonic. Under the able con-
ductorship of Mr.. Henry Duncan last eve
ming the thirty musicians displayed body
and quality of tone, a precision of attack,
and an attention to shading that was highly
praiseworthy. There is no reason now why
we shouldn't hear the orchestra frequently.
Mr.. Morawski, Miss Philbrook and Miss
Knight gave great pleasure in their several
parts.
There was a brilliant musical audience
present that completely filled the hall.

Wcman's Suffrage.

To the Editor of the Press:
President Blanchard's answer to ssA Re-
monstrant". would Iseem to be an argument
of the kind which he describes as calculated
to be useful to the opponents rather than to
the advocates of the cause in behalf of
which they are cited. To say thata measure
is advocated by men and women worthy Of
the highest respect and honor, is what might
have been asserted, since the world began, OF
every theory not absolutely immoral, and OF
itself constitutes no proof. But the opinion
of the intelligent majority has always been
held to afford strong presumptive evidence
OF the reasonableness of any particular
view, and it is this, and not the relative ex-
cellence of the partsans on either side which
"A Remonstrant" brings forward as an ar
gument.
As to the grounds on which Mr. Blanchard
bases his appeal to women in favor of suf-
frage, we confess that even we, who humblv
acknowledge that we do not consider our
selves qualified to vote, should prefer to be
influenced in any important question by
other and weightier reasons. If the votes of
women are to be determined by the consider
alton that Mr.. A. and Mrs. B., who are wise
and good people, advocate or oppose meas
ure, we fear that they will scarcely fulfill
Republic" ANOTHER REMoNsTRANT.
The Suffrage and Queen Victoria.
We would like to ask Zone of the Re-
monstrants" if she thinks Queen Victoria
was any lesss kind, affectionate wife or is
any less devoted and true mother, because
she is Queen of England and Empress of
India?
If anything should be considered in giving
suffrage to man or woman 1t should be edu-
cation. No persons should be allowed to
vote on any question unless they know all
about it. If this were law we should have
much larger vote from women than from
men. for all women are better educated than
all men. A greater number, by far, graduate
from high schools and seminaries All
women are better than all men, therefore.
they would vote more conscientiously and
have more regard for principle than for
needs.
One who asks for the same right she is
willing to give.
