NOTES ON WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

THINK the animus of this movement
for woman's freedom has been mistaken
largely, through the idea that it meant
competition hetween women and men.
| 70 my thought II simply means cooper
alton in the work OF the world.-Mrs.
Zerclda G. Wallace.
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"
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, tho teacher hisdesl,
the clergyman his study, or the profess
sional man his office, for the purpose Of
expressing his wishes and opinions at
the ballot-box.-H ThOs. W, Palmer.
THE battle for woman's right to intel
lectual culture was long ago fought and
won We have found that there is no
learning, no mental discipline, no depth
and breadth of touch with the worlds
best thought; which is good for a man
that is not also and equally good for a
woman: that education does not make
one sex etfeminate or the other maScu-
line, but tends to render men more
manly and women more Womanly. y.-Bos-
ton Daily Advertiser
THE man who considers thattho home
tduties of woman are inferior to the poll
ical work Of man must be either a
bachelor or blind. The very highest
qualities of the heart and intellect may
be exercised by mother, sister or an
elder daughter, in watching over the
physical, mental and moral growth of
the children in her care. Heroic pa
ticnce, and vigilance that never tires,
an adaptation of means to the end, a
careful study of individual traits a keen
psychological insight, may find ample
room for exercise within the four walls
of even a humble home.-EXChangc.
Women are more and more forging
ahead in authorship, and it is astonish-
ing to note the large percentage of man
uscripts sent to the magazines written
by feminine pens. was talking on this
point to a magazine editor few days
ago, and he said Fully two-thirds of
our manuscripts during the past year
came from women, and their work was
of a higher grade than ever before OF
course, there is an endless amount of
trash, but really think | have begun
to look more to women than to men of
late for actual good work, and women
are becoming more versatile in their
writing."-E. w. Box, in Boston Jour.

No WOMAN is properly equipped to
train and develop children who has not
informed herself upon just those sub
iects to which the advocates Of womans
rights call her attention. And the chill
dren whose mother besides knowing
how to care for their bodies has broad
culture embracing knowledge of all
public questions bearing upon the purity
and well-being of the home, are indeed
fortunate. know of many such homes
presided over by such women-women
incomparably superior to those who
''have all the rights they want" and
who know nothing of and take no in
terest in the great reforms which ara
moving the world.-GeneraA Wp. T.
