OPPOSED TO SUFFRAGE.

In view Of the possible prominence
which the question of " nan suffrage
may assume in the territories which are
about to enter the Union as states, the
Massachusetts, Remonstrauts Against the
Extension of Suffrage to Women have is-
sued circular inviting a consideration of
the following summary of suffrage re-
suits thus far this season:
In Vermont, where two years ago 9 mu.
nicipal suffrage bill passed ths house, q
simi lar bill was defeated at a recent ses.
sion; y eas 30, nays l92.
In Maine, q municipal suffrage bill was
defeated in the house, February rs; yeas
43, nays 80 The senate rejected the bill by
vote Of yeas y, nays II.
In New Hampshire, the constitutional
convention gave the suffragists "leave to
Withdraw.
In Dakota, where two years ago mu-
nicipal suffrage bill passed both branches
of the legislature, and was vetoed by the
governor, a similar bill was twice voted
down in the present Legislature. Int o.
duced again In u modified form, limiting
the privilege to taxpaying women, the
measure met with u third anu final defeat,
February "a.
In Ohio, a municipal suffrage bill was
defeated in the house, aud II proposition
Tor suffrage constitutional amendment
also tailed o adoption.
In Nebraska. the legislature has voted to
indefinitely postpone" municipal suf-
frage bill.
In Nevada, q proposed amendment to
the constitution, admitting women to the
suffrage, has been voted down.
In Massachusetts, municipal suffrage
bill WAS defeated in the house, March II =,
yeas rs, nays l27.
In Connecticut, the senate, March l5,
concurred with the house In rejecting the
bill comforting suffrage upon women.
In California, a bill eonferriDg municipal
suffrage upon women WAS defeated.
In New York. in the sssem bly,, March
IS, the AnsWorth municipal suffrage bill
iai,ed 10 secure the requisite majority Of
votes.
In Minnesota, municipal suffrage bill
was defeated.
The remonstrauts further say: "Mu-
nicipal suffrage, as exercised by women in
England, is limited to women who are un
married and are property owners, or rate
, payers TO the amount OF gl0 per annum.
Municipal suffrage, as exercised by women
OF Ontario, New brunswick, Nova Scotia,
and Manitoba, is also limited to single
women and widows who are property own
ers and Taxpayers. These limitations and
qualifications, however, are not proposed
by the advocates of the measure in this
country: but an unrestricted woman snf-
fraRe is the experiment urged upon our
Legislators"
Whatever may be the sentiment in
Washington touching this subject, there
is a very general preference for submit
ting the proposition, if it Is to be submit
ted at all, as separate and distinct clause
as provided for in the enabling act, rather
than endaneer the ratification of the en-
tire constitution by inserting it in the
, 1889-05-09

THERE seems to be u very general dis.
position on the part Of those even who op.
pose prohibition and woman suffrage to
have these questions submitted to be voted
upon as separate propositions at the time
the constitution is submitted to the people
for ratification, There appears to be
also quite strong disposition on the part
uf those favorable to these measures to de-
sire them submitted to the people in this
manner rather than "a part of the
constitution itselt. There ought not,
therefore. to be much friction upon this
subject. No reasonable p rson ought to
desire to prevent an expression OF the
public sentiment when the opportunity to
make such expression Ia contended for
by such a large per cent of the population;
and on the other hand those contending
for this privilege ought not to be 80 un-
reasonable as to desire to either reject the
constitution or vote for prov isions to which
they are strongly opposed. But, as here
tofore stated, agreat many persons who
may favor prohibition as u Legislative
measure will vote against it as a constitu-
tional provision. Being mere police re-
gulation prohibition has no proper place
in the constitution.
, 1889-05-09

ONE of the duties of the constitutional
convention will be the districting OF the
state aud making other provisions for the
election of state officers. Under the min
ority representation plan upon which the
delegates are to be elected one-third of the
number must necessarily be democrats. II
is important therefore, that every repuo-
lican vote DO cast, for the republican
nominees only, as otherwise 1t
might be possible for the
majority to be 40 small as to become un-
certain in voting upon political measures.
There are other reasons also why full
vote should be polled, one of which is that
it will indicate to q certain extent the
population Of the new state, and every cit
izen ought to feel sufficient pride in max
ing favorable impression on the occasion
of Its debut 10 the society circle of its sis
ters to 20 to the polls and vote, whether
he has much preference between the sew
eral candidates or not.
