The Government has, within the past

will be elected, especially as regards
the marriage relations of the lower
classes, who usually dispense with tho
priest and civil magistrate and go ahead
in fashion which Mrs. Mona Card
might approve were it not for the fact
that the women have no sort OF redress
If deserted. They may, 1t is true, use
the knife on their recreant spouses, and,
in fact they frequently do, but this
only makes n bad matter worse. The
truth is that people earning from
eighteen cents to fifty cents day find
the civil and religious marriages too
costly, hence marriages "detras de la
iglesia, or behind the church, ms the
phrase goes. Tho civil marriage is tho
only legal marriage, but no Catholic
woman would consider herself married
without the religious rite, hence among
the poor they solve the difficulty by not
getting married according to either
form. This sort OF free love in practice

What tho Women OF America Are Doing

What the Women of America Are Doing
for Each Other.
When the movement among women
began some thirty years ago. any thing
out OF the usual routine was met with
the objection. "lf you give women an
inch, they will take an ell" In keep
ing with this thought was the remark
of Southern editor, when lady asked
him after the war: why do you take
so calmly the enfranchisement OF the
colored man. and yet so stoutly deny
suffrage to womenP" "Ah, madam"
he said, 1--WE have nothing to fear from
the colored race, but the women'-
American women!-if once we let them
get even with u.s. they will 60 so far
ahead of men we will not see the trail
OF their garments. Just give them an
inch Of freedom, and they will take an
ell. and be such success in all they
undertake, no power on earth could
win or drive them back into their pres
ent limited sphere"
1t is not so very many years since
women were organized into clubs, but
these institutions are like a network
now, and cause not a ripple OF COM
ment. Sorosis, the oldest, the most
queenly, holding court in New York,
recently called Convention OF Wo-
mems Clubs, and fifty-two delegates

What would have been thought impos-

CHARLES w. MANN lately read a pa
per before the Mathuen Mass Grange
on "Womans Rights" taking ground
on the right side. He said: 1.-THE
home, the State, the nation, are they
not one9 and If the influence of good
women is great in the smaller and in
ner circles, shall it not also be beneficent
in the larger and more extended.
THOSE Americans who oppose the
equal suffrage OF women, must show
that it is just and wise to tax part OF
the population without giving them
representation, and that governments
may justly exist without the consent OF
the governed. They must also show
that 1t is reasonable to permit the most
ignorant and drunken men 10 vote, and
to forbid the most intelligent and SUI
perior women. -George William Curtis.
The shallowest OF all arguments
against woman suffrage is the assertion
that no woman ought to be allowed to
vote until the majority of women wish
it A. B and c are all OF them citizens
and taxpayers. A and b do not care
to vote, therefore G. should be forbid
