THE TIME NOT YET.

The Invention Faculty in Woman Not
Fully Developed.
An editorial in the Providence Jour-
nal recently, on an alleged inferiority
Of the inventive faculty in women,
seemed to one reader very inconclusiye,
because it failed to take account Of the
most serious facts in the case. A very
little more reflection, says a writer in
Woman's Journal would convince the
writer OF the injustice, Of pronouncing
thus definitely upon the inventive
power Of one-half tho race when, from
the creation down to period of con-
siderable less than generation, there
was little to call forth this faculty in
woman or to stimulate to its exercise.
In the case of man it has been far other
wise. From the creator he was forced
under God to become q creator. The
necessities of existence demanded this.
He had no choice but to use all the
power he had. outward and inward
alike. for the support Of his life. From
the first moment of his conscious life on
earth, his work was to cope with nature
and draw to the utmost from her hidden
resources.
Very different on the other hand was
the case Of woman. Instead of the ne
cessity of finding out any power in her.
self, her part without question was as
sumed to be to tho will Of man, and in
all outward things to have no will Of her
own And 50 it has been with little
change through all the centuries down
to the exceptional time in which we
now are living. Is it strange that, taking
into our thought all this experience OF
limitation and repression. there should
be an inferiority at present manifested?
Would it not rather be one OF the great
est marvels If it we're otherwise?
One word Of nearer application to the
character of the inventions patented by
women. by the majority OF men these
wou.6 indeed be regarded as trivial
compared with those Of the other sex,

VOTING A DUTY.

The Privilege OF tho BALLOT Not Only
Question Of Right.
It is sometimes asked II women have .
right to vote. The question should rather
be, have they a right not to vote? Take
the matter Of schools. Let us suppose,
writes Mrs. A. NJ. Diaz, in the House.
keeper, there are half dozen families
living together in a retired location.
They desire school for their children.
A site is to be chosen, building put
up, q teacher selected. and the course Of
studies made out Other matters are to

sign of the building, seats, desks.
length of sessions, and whether two or
one. Would the six mothers naturally
say: "This is q matter to be left entire
ly to the fathers Of our children. It is
not our place to interfere; we are not
sufficiently we'll informed; neither could
1t make any difference, IS wc should
think exactly as our husbands think; or
il we differed, we should quarrel. Home
is our only sphere" Or would the six
fathers say, in regard to the school, that
the whole matter should be settled with
out any suggestions from the mothers?
Every one knows there would be mutual
consultation and expression OF opinion.
This would not be asked as right or
granted as a right. It would be consid-
cred . matter of course. And not only
50, but mother who should hold back
and say she had neither time nor inclin-
alton to attend to such things would be
thought strangely Indifferent to her
children's welfare and neglcctful Of her
duty.
Now what is true of six mothers is
true Of sixty. of six hundred, of six
thousand, Of sixty thousand. OF six hum
dred thousand. Numbers can not lessen
the individual motherly responsibility.
The very fact that home is woman's
sphere makes it her duty to see that the
children Of that home are trained under
the best possible influences. When the
neighborhood becomes city, and the
school management can not receive in
dividual attention. this management is
left to representatives, and one queer
thing about the matter Is that these rep
rescntatives are in almost all cases men.
They are chosen to do exactly what the

borhood did: yet they are chiefly men.
! in most cases wholly 50, and are chosen
by men in nearly ever instance. In the
neighborhood, the school affairs con-
cerned every individual In the city.
they are called public, but they arc
private jnst the same. and concern every
individual. Public affairs are only pri.
vate affairs bundled together because
they can not be handled separately.
At present, mothers rear their chill
dren with care, watch anxiously over
them until they reach the school age
i've or six years-then turn them en-
tirely over to Il 9 management Of mer
selected and chosen by men. and often
tho whole matter is settled by personal
or worse, by political considerations. l,
is not right that women should shirk
their duty in this way. The duty should
be .'thrust upon them" They should
take time and seek opportunities fol
forming an opinion, and should express
1t by ballot. Voting is only another
name for expressing opinion.

In trenchant letter on this subject,
Joe Howard recently pointed out that

cause they have no political weight or
power. Surely this will not be denied.
Let the men engaged in any industry
unite to ask for any reasonable legisla-
tion to improve their condition. and both
parties are at once respectfully atten-
tive. But where is the practical poll.
tician who cares whether thousand or
two OF working women are satisfied or
dissatisfied with the conditions Of their
employment? The philanthropist, the
humanitarian, the practical Christian
cares. but the practical politician simply
says to himself that only votes count,
and that when it comes to votes women
are not in it, And from this point Of
view the practical politician is right.
..IIow long will 1t take the multitude
OF working women. competing for :
share of the worlds work and wages un-
der these unequal conditions, to realize
that the ballot is the only key that will
ever unlock the door for their advance
ment? That, with votes III their hands
to give or to withhold, they and their
interests will at once become objects Of
political concern and legislative atten-
tion?
..,rhe cause Of woman suffrage will be
quickly won when the hosts Of labor
take it up in dead earnest as their own.
Not only would the ballot help the
working women to larger consideration
and higher compensation for their labor;
it would improve the condition Of work.
