WOMEN IN LITERATURE.
A Criticism Which Though Good II Itse
Open to Criticism.

a Criticism Which Though Good Il Iteelf
Open to Criticism.
There are certain standards of vice,
OF crime OF wrong; there are phases of
Justice, truth, beauty, virtue and love
which men have found sufficient inter
est in Tor have been able to see clearly
enough) to portray in fiction or poetry or
the drama They run the whole gamut
OF the emotions, with varying degrees
OF success. from their point Of view
There is another outlook. Much of life
means one thing to men-quite another
to women Literature has yet to pict-
ure life from her standpoint So far
even the woman character in fiction is
what men fancy she is or ought to be.
Her life, her emotions, her desires, her
joys and sorrows, her hopes and fears,
her opinions and ambitions, have
the color and basis of thought
which is strictly masculine in con-
ception and execution. That was
all well enough perhaps before
woman was educated, before freedom
to act and think for herself was &C.
corded her; but to-day it is hollow, false
and unreal Every thing is changed.
Women are beginning to look out upon
the world with their own eyes. They
are examining facts and theories.
There will. no doubt, be thoughts put
In books-in hterature-that have never
been put there before. Some of the old
things will be told from side usually
well concealed or possibly never
dreamed of; but if literature is por-
traiture of lite, has not the half of life
as viewed from beneath pretty bon
net, as good right to frank and I'M

from under silk hat? Is it not as i'm
portant to a true literature? Is it pos
sible to build any thing worthy the
name without it? 1t can not be denied
that the canons of literature have, SO
far, been laid down on strictly mas
culine lines. I do not forget that since
women became readers of books the
forms of expression have changed to be
eft reading for the family" and that
since they became writer's there
have been other notifications on
the surface; but the basis of its morals,
its standard of action and its motive,
have remained masculine in conception
and requirement. What shall and what
shall not be discussed, therefore,; how
the topics may be handled and for what
purposes, have been established-as
nave the laws OF marriage and divorce
without having first consulted both of
the interested parties to discover if the
arrangement was as satisfactory from
the one side as from the other. This Is
q somewhat 1op-sided way of making a
contract or building a literature, it must
be confessed, and if women are showing
a disposition to go behind the returns it
can hardly be looked upon as strange
nor as wholly vicious. Abraham Lin
coin said: mo man is good enough to
govern another man without that other
mans consent" And it can as truly be
said that no body of men is good or wise
enough to build what should be digni-
fed as the literature of a race, SO long
as but one-half of that race has ever ex-
pressed itself freely and openly in that
literature.-H. H. Gardener, in Arena.

WHAT has become of that republican
legislative scheme to catch the old
soldiers vote, which says that,
wherever other things are equal,
the appOintive offices shall be filed by
old soldiers? How many old soldiers
have received appointments as post
masters in this immediate vicinity,
under the Ben Harrison administra-
ton, in Great Bend, Hoisington, Elm
wood, Sterling, Lyons, Larned, st.

in this part of the country capable of
filling the Office Of postmaster? Will

of her prohibition law. It is our
opinion that the farmers, and all other

The cemetery question was brought
up again at the council meeting Mon
day night, and the committee to whom
the matter was referred was given
further time. In the opinion of many
with whom we have talked, the thing
the council can do best, under the
circumstances, is to condemn the present
cemetery grounds, or so much as has
not passed into the hands of lot owners,
and then buy from Mr.. Wilmer at the
price fixed by appraisers appointed
according to law. We hope the mat
ter will not be further neglected. but

witnesses for the w. e. T. U. sum-
