The Concerts.

The Heine Concert Company gave
two concerts in this city on Wednes-
day and Thursday, and, while not
largely attended, they were extreme
ly enjoyable. Mr.. Heine's control of
the violin is wonderful, and must be
heard to be appreciated. Mrs Heine,
on the piano, was not far behind him
in skill. Miss Heine, the daughter,
also sang and played the violin. 1t
was not to the credit of Frankfort
that the Baptist Chapel was not full
to overflowing, for concert so ex-
cellent is very seldom heard outside
of the large cities.

GOOD WORDS FOR WOMEN.

THE ballot opens the door for every
true and needed reform for women, be-
cause the ballot is the great educating
power.-Edward Eggleston, d. ID.
The ballot confers power on those
who are endowed with it, and power al
ways commands respect. To be weak
is to be miserable. and the enfranchised
woman will be more respected than ever
before. A gentleman is always courte-
Gus, and a boor is always boor, and
from gentlemen, women of no condition
have aught to fear.
DOUBTLESS the majority of husbands
and wives think alike on most questions;
but, in taking the sense of the COM
munity, the opinion of two persons
ought to count for moro than that of
one. Whether in politics or religion, no
husband can believe for two. Neither,
then, can he properly vote for two
Alice Stone Blackwell.
IT Is said that if women voted they
ought to serve on juries, and that they
would not be willing. Some men
are not enthusiastically eager to serve
as jurors. A citizen of New York sum-
moned few days ago on the grand jury,
asked to be excused because he was en-
gagged in the pool business and was of a
bad moral character, and he took an
oath to that effect. Fewer women than
men could get excused upon that
ground.
DURING the last fifty years. the evolu.
ton of women has lifted her out of a
legal relation to man, which was that of
servant to a master, or a ward to a
guardian. To-day she stands by hi
side disfranchised citizen. Every step
of her advance from slavery to her pres
ent partial freedom has been holly con-
tested. :. Every rag of prejudice
and every threadbare scrap of objection
are brought into requisition when wom-
en- demand their rights, although they
have been shrivelled hundred times in
the scorching fires of the last forty
years debate.
THERE can be no possible back-set to
the movement for the complete en-
reimbursement of women. Persons, not
sex, have TO do with human rights and
just government. Penalty and priv
ilege under the laws must bear equally
upon man and woman. Not one rational
argument can be adduced to sustain the
position based only on traditional preju-
dice and barbaric customs, that man and
woman are not individually equals in
every Office of human life, social. relig-
ions or political. Being equals as sub
jects Of law and government, each luust
at all times be entitled to equal voice
and ballot-Jamestown IN. " Sun

Speaker Reed Is All Right.

The row in the House, occasioned BY
Speaker Reed ruling to the effect that
members who are in their seats shall be
counted present whether voting or not
has stirred up the politicians to the
fighting pitch. Inasmuch as it repre-
sents the best interests of the people at
large and opens a way to the transac.
ton of business instead of blocking it,
the ruling is good thing and will raeet
with the Endorsement of the people who
elect Congressman. and who expect
them to be at their post of duty for the
furtherance of public affairs. A great
outcry has been made about the out
rageousness of overturniug a precedent
a century old. The point is pointless.
If a precedent is founded on error it
ought to be reversed, and the fact that
no Speaker has had the courage to Do SC
is reflection on the Speakers of the
past, not on the present one. The ex
IRENE age of precedent is nothing in
the light of truth. Only error is ferti.
fled by time, and the fact tina. hold
blow has been struck at an age-in-
trenched fault is a matter of public con.
gratulation.-Chicago Mail DEM.

THE ScRIPTURAL ARGUMENT.
Passages of the Bible Bearing Upon the
Relation of the Sexes.

Passages of the Bible Bearing Upon the
Relation of the Sexes.
In a recent article in the Northern
Christian Advocate on the question OF
admitting women as lay delegates to the
Methodist General Conference, Rev. ].
W. Bashford says:
THE fact that God committed to man
and woman together the joint dominion
of the earth: the fact that Deborah and
Huldah were prophctesses in the Old
Testament and that God fulfilled their
prophecies by special providences: the
fact that the words of Mary and Eliza
beth are recorded among the choicest
portions of the New Testament; the
fact that Anna is mentioned in Luke by
her official title 'prophetess;' the fact
thai Christ gave to Mary the first mes
sage of the resurrection and that women
first published the tidings of risen
Saviour as recorded in Luke "a; o; the
fact that the Holy Spirit was poured out
upon women as well as men on the day
of Pentecost; that one of the original
deacons had four daughters, virgins.
which did prophesy;' the fact that Paul
saluted Phoebe as deaconess of the
church at Cenchrea,' and commended
her to the Church of Rome: the fact that
aged women or female presbyters and
widows are recognized as an official
class in Pauls letters to Timothy and
Titus: the fact that Christ sums up the
Gospel in the Golden Rule and Paul APP
plies the Golden Rule in the declaration.
There can be neither Jew nor Greek,
there can be neither bond nor free.
there can be no male and female: for We
are all one in Christ Jesus'-such pas
sages indicate that new light may yet
break out of the Word of God upon this
subject.
I've are sure that the passages of the
Bible bearing upon the relation of the
sexes will richly repay fresh study,
and will possibly demand broader inter
probation upon our part. Let us remem-
Der that the same Interpretation which
makes Paul teach that authority inheres
in sex made Paul also teach the divine
right of slavery and of kings. In Titus
Paul uses the same word to denote the
same relation of slaves, of women and
of citizens to those in authority over
them He tells Titus TO teach the doc
trine of women being in subsection to
their own husbands 2:5: of slaves be-
ing in subsection TO their own masters
2: 9; and of citizens being IN subsection
to rulers s: /. Our fathers were at
least consistent in holding, during sew
enteen hundred years of the Church's
life, that the Bible taught the divine
right of husbands. of Shareholders and
of kings A broader and more spiritual
Interpretation of Paul has convinced
the present generation that he did not
teach the divine right of slav-
cry or of Kings. But can we consistently
abandon the old view of Paul's teaching
in regard to the two latter doctrines and
then maintain it in regard to the first,
when all three doctrines are taught, if
taught at all, in consecutive passages
and in identical language?
I'VE have thus dwelt upon the Scrip
tural argument because we have felt
that our people are anxious to act only
In harmony with Gods will"

PARLIAMENTARY REFORM.
Al Action That Will BE Approved by the
Voters of the Country.

Al Action That VIII he Approved by the
Voters of the Country.
The contest now in progress in the
House of Representatives at Washington
involves great principle, and not a
question of precedent. If the Speaker
ought to be governed by the example
set by other presiding officers of parlia-
mentary bodies he would undoubtedly
be wrong in his present stand, but as a
matter of fact he was elected with a
distinct view to the reform of parlia-
mentary wrong, and not of conformity
thereto Mr.. Reed was elected on a dis
tinct and publicly announced purpose
to favor and, If possible, secure precise
ly this parliamentary reform. The time
has come when the evil of obstruction
by the minority must be abated, and
Mr. Reed should have the fullest and
most cordial support of the Republicans
everywhere in his present undertaking.
The logic of Speaker Reeds state
ment is simply unanswerable, and the
speech made b. Major Mckinley along
the same line eloquently and cogently
maintained the position the Speaker
had already taken 1t is conceded
that if a legislative body lacks a
quorum present the presiding officer
can send out the Sergeant-at-Arms
and compel absentees to come in. That
much IS undisputed. Now, to authorize
compulsory attendance and then let it
be completely frustrated by the refusal
Of the enforced attendants to answer to
the roll-call is nothing short of prepos-
ferrous. This right of compulsory at
tendance is not matter of rule or Gus
tom, but of constitutional law. There
Is no escape from the logic of Mr.. Reeds
position that IF members could be
present and refuse to exercise their
functions, and yet not he counted as a
quorum, that provision would seem to
be entirely nugatory." Neither Mr..
csrlisle nor auy other Democrat in the

shown herself capable Of such work as
would entitle her to membership in the
academy. The nature of the tribunal
entities this Judgment to very little
weight, when it is remembered that
artists, noted in their day, whose names
are fast fading into oblivion, were in the
habit of speaking superciliously Of the
claims of Rosa Bonheur to distinction,
and that her sun is still climbing TO it's
zenith. 1t behooves readers to weigh
artists opinions of contemporary work
carefully. If true, this assertion of the
British artists only proves how much
more necessary it is that all possible
means of study should be open to women
since, by their nature and perception, it
is now clear that they are destined to
become artists in the full sense of the
term.
