Woman's chronicle. (Little Rock, Ark.) 1888-1???, 1890-03-08

male African our political superior, who now votes
against the political enfranchisement of noble, in
telhgent women, who, from humanitarian stand
point, worked for the adjustment of negro slavery
in our beloved United States
Again What has the colored woman gained
through the legal political equalization of the men
OF her race? Increased burdens.
Men of highly civilized race maintained four
years brutal war at the cost of wrecked homes,
crippled llfes and burdensome national debt of
two billions and six hundred millions dollars. Facit?
The male voting arstocracy is swelled by colored
numbers, and the enfranchisement of the women
OF the Caucasian race is postponed from year to
year. How generous and chivalrous men treat
their own sex.
Why was not slavery in our United States abol-
ished through pecuniary naturalization, i. e.
through legal remedies, and not through brute
force?
In Brazil slavery was thus peaceably abolished
under Isabella's dom Pedro's daughter) interim
istc reign.
Isabella is now decried for that Coed of wise and
noble state-craft. Why? There are no bountes,
no large everlasting pensions, no high and lucrative
offices, and no well-paying commanding positions
in such peaceful solutions. WE'LL the late revou-
ton in Brazil will open the road to such insttu-
lions for the common veal
Women will not be redeemed from the tyran-
nical rule of men, as long as women believe in the
stories and myths invented and propagated by
men for the. subjugation of woman.
1t is very painful to thoughtful woman to hear,
or see print, a literary woman nsinuate: ''When
woman is no longer curse to men"
Again, the inspd and absurd saying, Illus
band and wife are one" is still in vogue. Men
and women, husband and wife, are separate units
Individuals have the inherent individual right to
stay single, if they choose. Such teaching as
Grant Aliens is not only most cruel but fruitful
source of corruption to men and painful misery to
WOmanknd
If one sex be curse to the other, then, surely
the male sex is the curse.
Poets do not practise what the poetize.
Schiller postulates, as counterpolse to woman's
''weaving of heavenly roses" (for men), ''men's
facing the storms of life Der Mann muss him
aus ms feindlicle Leben! (Men must Ego OUT
into hostile life.) Now does Schiller do what he
dictates?
Not to think of it! Schiller sits down in snug,
warm room, waited upon by his wife, or some other
female servant writes poetry, drinks wine to it,
and inhales the perfumes of decayed apples.
Verify! Great men are great only in the light of
fiction. Beethoven is said to have said:
Emotion suits women only. Music should
strike fire from the soul of man." Yet Beethoven
was occasionally so unmanly emotional as to roll
himself on the floor in the uncontrolled paroxysm
of his choleric temper-fre from the soul of man.
Alas 1t is generally at home, or to those de-
pendent on them, that men give vent to their
choler.
Bismark, the Slavonian subduer Of the Germans,
however, is so great as not to be embarrassed
about getting frequently out of-or below
himself
Worldly and moral greatness, reality (logic)
and fiction (poetry) are hostile elements.
