SLIPS OF SUFFRAGE.

The women Of Denmark to the num-
Der of 10000 have petitioned for the
right OF suffrage.
Two hundred girls are now being
educated in the medical schools of IN
dia, and Madras has already supplied
six fully qualified female doctors for
the northern part of the country.
DETROIT saloon-keepers deplore the
entrance Of women into politics as det-
rimental to their business. Very good;
the politics of the country can stand
set-backs of just that kind without
much concern. ...--...---
FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE says: "You
ask me my reasons for believing in
women's suffrage. 1t seems to me al
most self-evident, an axiom. that every
householder and taxpayer should have
a voice in the spending of the money
we pay, including. as this does. inter-
ests the most vital to human being"
The Massachusetts Benefit Insurance
Association. OF which Miss Emily A.
Southmayd is general agent for Chica-
go, emphasizes its appreciation OF wo-
mans work by employing two lady
physicians of different schools. and
paying all its women employees the
same salaries as men for a similar
amount of service.
IT has now been many years since the
village schools of Maine passed almost
wholly into the management Of lady
teachers. Now the superintendency Of
the schools is passing by degrees into
the same skillful hands. the Lewiston
Journal says An unusually large num-
Der of towns have elected women to this

these things there is yet much to be
gained; but it is evident that the time
will come when all these matters will
be settled, not by mere prejudice. as
formerly, but by real competency OF
hand. eye and brain. Undoubtedly
there are employments which are in
trinsically better suited to women, and
others for men; but we have never yet
had the opportunity to determine by
fair comparison which these were, be-
cause the whole thing was formerly
controlled by mere tradition, now
happily passing away.-Harper's Ba-

MUNICIPAL REFORM,
ro'nts oained by the Women In the Re
cent Boston Elections.

cent Boston Elections.
Nearly twenty thousand women have
paid voluntary tax, have registered
and voted. WHAT has been gained by
the expenditure of so much labor, time
and money? Let us see:
l. An excellent School Committee.
In the words of the Herald, so far as
school board is concerned, the share
thousands of women voters have taken
this year in the election has forced
upon all of the nominating organiza-
tlons much more careful selection of
candidates than would in all probabili-
ty. have been otherwise made" The
committee will be inspired to do better
work next year by the consciousness
that they will be appreciated and st1s-
tanned by watchful and interested
constituency.
2. An increased public interest in the
schools. Twenty thousand women.
Protestant and Catholic, will hence
forth feel deeper personal RESPONSE
bility for their welfare.
3. A great and permanent impulse
to the woman suffrage cause among the
men of the community by the spectacle
OF an army of self-respecting women
voting quietly. calmly and intelligently,
bringing with them better order and
kindlier temper, differing without dis
cord and uniting without friction, fac
| ing violent northeast storm without a
murmur, and setting an example of
promptness. punctuality and efficiency
which men may be proud to emulate.
4. A still greater and more perma-
nent impulse to the woman suffrage
cause among the women themselves by
the discovery that voting Is not difficult,
nor disagreeable. nor likely to impair
their deiicacy or diminish their self-re-
spect. Having learned their own value
as distinct political power. women
will not be content to relapse into polit-
ical nonentity. Every woman who has
voted is more independent, thought
full. public-spirited person for having
done her duty as citizen.
). The result opens the way for
wider application of the principle. 1t
answers many objections and removes
many difficulties. Actions speak louder
than words. Women have shown that
they will vote whenever they are able
to vote on question which enlists gen.
eral publ C interest Ii the presence of
twenty thousand women at the polls
can Danish profanity, drunkenness and
disorder, can transform roughs into
gentlemen, and make policemen super
huous even in the lowest precincts of
the North End-if it can bring out
fuller vote Of the men-if. in short, it
can civilize our city politics-why not
double the number OF women voters
next year by enabling them to vote also
for mayor, aldermen and councilmen.
and upon the question OF liquor license59
Municipal reform is imperatively need
ed. To obtain it we must reform the
voting constituency. We must secure
full municipal suffrage for women. and
do away with class distinctions by re-
moving the political disabilities of sex.

The Laws Sufficient.

Have we laws sufficient for the
punishment of crime, or have we
not -? Our form of government has
been tested a hundred years, and it
is time this question was settled be-
yond cavil. Last week some Chinese
laundrymen in Milwaukee were
guilty of crimes too atrocious to be
described in newspapers. Indignant
people at once took the PAM Il ment
Of the criminals into their own hands
without reference to law; they not
only proceeded to violence against
those guilty, but those not guilty,
who happened to be of the same ma
tionality Cinnamon living in other
parts of the state, against whom no
offence was charged, we're assailed
and their property molested. While
the Cinnamon guilty of the crimes
alleged are justly condemned with
out stint, the law is adequate for
their punishment and is the legiti-
mate resort. Mob violence cannot
for a moment be tolerated; the law,
if properly administered, is sufficient
to protect the rights of every man,
however humble his position. The
Chinese whose property has been
destroyed or damaged in violation of
law have commenced suit to recover
loss, and will on evidence obtain
judgment, It is stated the Chinese
minister to this country will call the
attention of our government to the
treatment of his countrymen. 1t is a
mistake to suppose that the Chinese
government is too weak to vindicate
the rights Of its people.
