For the tense hearts relief.
A brooding sadness settled over an

But not alone a name, his heritage
The qualities Of heart and mind,

Woman suffrage a Success.

Wherever woman suffrage has been
tried, writes Francis Minor, in the Fo-
rum, it has proved success. The tes-
timony from English sources is abund-
ant, that since the complete enfranchise-
ment of women in the Isle of Man, the
condition of public affairs there has
improved; and this fact is used as an ar
gument to show that parliamentary suf-
frage should be extended to women in
England also. In the Territory of wv
oming women have enjoyed full suffrage
since 1869, a period of twenty-one years.
Governor Campbell, who was in office at
the time, in his message two years later
said that the women had conducted
themselves inevery respect ctwith as much
tact, sense and good Judgment as men.
Two years after, he repeated that the
system of impartial suffrage was an un-
qualified success. His successors, Gov
ernors Thayer, Hoyt, Hale and Warren,
have all borne witness to the same ef-
feet, and NJ. c. Brown, U. So Attorney
for the Territory, says that woman suf-
frage in Wyoming has accomplished
much good, and has harmed no one"
Pages might be filled with similar testi-
mony, not only as to Wyoming, but as
to the other Territories where woman
suffrage has been tried. Mere theoreti-
cal views in opposition are but as
small dust in the balance" compared
with, these actual facts. ;

Why Women Are PowerIess.

Men tell us that we are responsible
for the home and the education of the
children; that the morals of society are
in our keeping. Suppose, says Rev.
Olympia Brown, when the war was rag
ing, our generals had taken some of
those tall, stalwart men and bound their
hands behind them, and put them in the
front of battle, and told them to go in
and win. What would have happened?
Evidently the army would have been
cut to pieces, and they would have been
entirely routed. But that is what they
do with women. They put us in the
front of the great battle that is waging
against intemperance, gambling, i'm
purity, and they take away the only
weapon which anybody could use in
republic-and yet they hold us response
BILE for the morals of the community.
Our first business is to free ourselves,
before we can help any cause. Then,
when we are free, we shall not go about
getting up strawberry festivals and
oyster suppers and crazy-quilt lotteries,
but we shall vote appropriations. At
present, women are powerless with re-
gard to the great evils which they are
asked to overcome; and the first service
that we can render to humanity or to
God, is to get ourselves into a position
of Independence. a. 2. .r.. f'.r..

NOTES ON WOMAN SUFFRAGE


Rev. L. G. JORDAN, the colored orator.
says: "You Northern men make big
fuss because they won't let the negro
vote down South; now if should say to
you, Your wife isn't as intelligent as
am, why, you would kick me out of the
house, and yet that is virtually what
you say yourselves when you will not
allow her to vote" p A''}
WHERE woman suffrage obtains, wom-
en- vote intelligently and safely, and it
does not appear that their place is sole
ly at home, any more than that the
farmer should never leave his farm, the
mechanic his shop, the teacher hisdesk,
the clergyman his study, or the profess
sional man his office, for the purpose of
expressing his wishes and opinions at
the ballot-box.-Hon. Thos. w. Palmer.

lectual culture was long ago fought and

MAKING PLAY OF WORK.
An English Firms Plan to Get Children

An English Firms Plan to Get Children
to Manufacture Its Goods.
In England a company has been form
ed for the manufacture of toys which
were formerly imported into the country
at the almost incredibly large sum of
81, 900, 600. When it was learned that
most of the work of manufacturing the
toys were accomplished by little chill
dren, who enjoyed their employment so
much that they preferred it to play,
this company established their manu-
factory in the midst of q crowded district
of Birmingham, and advertised to teach
children the work free of cost. As soon
as the people learned of this offer women
and children besieged the place in such
numbers that the street was literally
packed with applicants, and the police
had great difficulty to force their way
through the throng.
The children, after learning how to
do the work, are allowed TO take it to
their homes, and, surrounded by new
comforts and luxuries purchased by the
proceeds of their fascinating employ
ment, amid the refining influences of
home, hundreds of busy little hands are
employed in delightful work. To call
out the most intelligent workers in the
trade the company issued list of prizes
to be competed for by the children un-
der twelve years of age and awarded to
the child who shall construct the best
outfit for the company's paper doll. The
largest prize was R5, the smallest IS,
and other prize lists are to follow pres

It Leads an Alabama Fire-Eater to
Threaten Another Rebellion. ...
The fragrant and systematic abuses
of the franchise at the South has made
it necessary for Congress to exercise its
constitutional power in regulating the
election of its own mem bers. Something
had to be done to defeat violence and
fraud at the ballot box and false count
of the votes Otherwise Congressional
elections would continue to be a CHASTITY
farce in the bulldozed sections, which
are represented N Congress by the
mere appoinsees f Winchester rifle
committees and other Kuklux mobs.
The Republicans in Congress have de-
termined to enact law that will pro-
tect the election of its members. One
of the bills for that purpose was re-
ported by Senator Hoar, from the com
mittee on elections. When the report
was finished Senator Pugh, of Alabama,
screeched his dissent, and denounced
the bill as ''subversive of the funda-
mental principle of local self-govern-
ment," which was absurd, but he added:
"If the bill becomes law its execution
will insure the shedding of blood and
the destruction Of the peace and good
order of this country"

is going to start new rebellion and to

Wear ANY Hat You Please.

There is no fixed rule in millinery or
guidance for choice. Provided the head
covering is becoming, and not altogether
outre, a woman may wear just what
pleases her best. Most of the new hats
have faring brims, yet with so very lit
tie at the back of the head that often
there is nothing visible except the coils
of hair of the wearer, sort of monster
'1ean-to" turning towards the front.
The brims on some of the shapes
measure over a quarter of yard directly
in front. When the hat is of net, lined
with plated lace, the effect is very be-
coming TO some faces. but eccentric in
it certainly is at all times

LEGISLATIVE PROGRESS.
What the Different States are Doing II
the Interests of Women.

What the Different States are Doing In
the Interests of Women.
The recent past has been frightful in
legislation that concerns women.
The Massachusetts, Legislation has
made it possible for a married woman
who is minor to relinquish her dover,
and to ALLEVIATE her homestead rights.
The New Jersey Assembly passed a
bill making it unnecessary for married
women to take q separate acknowledge
ment from their husbands in any con-
veyance. The separate acknowledge
ment has hitherto provided that the
wife should be questioned apart from
her husband to make sure that she gave
her consent to the conveyance, and was
not acting under compulsion from him.
In the New Jersey Senate bill was
passed providing that husbands real
estate sold under judgment shall be re-
lieved of the wife's DOVER Heretofore
n wife could hold her dover rights in all
cases. They could only be taken from
her by her own act. Now she will lose her
dover when property is sold under judg-
ment. The debts which made this sale
necessary may have been contracted
against her entreaty and protest, but all
the same she will lose her dover.
In Pennsylvania, the Supreme Court
has given decision in regard to the
property of married women and their
right to make will.
Though such important interests of
women arc concerned, neither the Leg
islatures nor the courts have single
woman as member to represent the
woman's point of view in the matter.
Is it not evident that women, like all
other classes, need to have voice in
legislation?-Lucy Stone, in Woman's
Journal
