POINTS OF PROGRESS.

A BILL giving school suffrage to wom
en- has been favorably reported in the
Iowa House of representatives.
A BILL to incorporate the National.
American Woman Suffrage Association
has been referred to the U. S. House
Judiciary Committee without objection.
IT seems that the women of Italy are
following in the lead of the women of
America and England. A society ''for
mutual assistance among women in
Rome" has recently been started. 1t is
named Adelaide Carroll, after the pa
triotic woman who made such great
sacrifices for the independence of her
beloved Italy.
TIE advocates of woman suffrage are
greatly pleased with the union of the old
and disagreeing organizations in an as
ISOLATION where all can work together
in harmony. Many obstacles in the way
of effective work have been removed,
and many younger women have been en-
listed, whose influence is expected to
disarm much of the opposition to the re-
form. boston Traveller.
A WOMAN's Directory is soon to be
published in Chicago giving the names
and addresses of 1000 Chicago women
who belong to various religious, benevo-
lent and political organizations. The
book was compiled for the purpose of
estimating the number Of women in
Chicago who were interested in work
not purely personal and to encourage
them to greater unity of effort.

right to vote to the women of the United
States by appropriate National and
State legislation. has been referred to
the House Judiciary Committee without
objection.
Ar THE annual school meetings held
in New Jersey few days ago, women
voted without question or hindrance.
The meeting at Vineland was one of the
most interesting ever held there, the
woman turning out to vote in large num-
, bers. Four new members of the board
of education were elected, making a
board of six, composed of three men and
three women. In Orange and Other
towns, women voters were welcomed as
though their presence and votes were. a
matter Of course.
WOMAN suffrage gained something in
cidentally last year in a city of Kansas
One Of the candidates for mayor was
rich, and rather a society man. His
wife and his wifc's friends, none o.
whom had ever cared to exercise the
right of Kansas women to vote at mu
nicipal elections, went out to vote fol
him. There was an unusual throng a
the polls. and that candidate went il
with a large majority. These ladie:
say they will never vote again, but mos
of them will continue to do so. 1t wa.

EXPERIMENTAL GOVERNMENT.
Our Free Nation Founded Upon False
Basis.

Our Free Nation Founded Upon False
Basis.
We need a new chapter of history
which shall point out to our youth that
mankind has but one untried experiment
left in its long series of attempts to
construct model government, just
government founded on the consent of
the governed. And that is, says Mrs.
Ellen b. Dietrich, in recent paper, to
bring into service the cooperation OF all
women. From time To time, in all ages,
expression has been given to the truth
that all the people should be interested
in their own government. Aristotle de.
clared, ''We are born to be citizens. A
constitution framed in the exclusive
interest of class, even though that
class be majority of the whole, is
wrongful and perverse." But this clio.
quent advocate of equal rights was like
an carthen vessel holding precious
elixir of life-uttering a truth whose
full import he did not understand. His
1--WE" compromise only free-born men,
WIlllC NOulCI. anu
were Jumped together as interiors Of
different grades, born only to be ruled
by the citizen" who represented hus'
band, father and owner.
In our literature no one has been more
quoted than he who wrote before the
birth of our republic) that sin free ma
ton it is very often matter of difference
whether individuals reason well or ILL;
it is sufficient that they do reason;
hence springs that liberty which is Sc
curity from the effects Of these reason
ings." But though we have heard this
for over hundred years, what proof
does this republic give that women are
even believed to be individuals? What
difference does our constitution recog-
nize between American women and the
women of Greece? What political sigh
does the nation give of having outgrown
the age when woman was catalOgued
with mans OK, his ass, or any thing that
is his? Is there not apparent here most
urgent need that the foolish fables OF
the past should be replaced by nobler
teaching for our children? True repub-
| licanism is result of careful teach
ing and training, and the ideal re-
public awaits the self-governed girl who
has been nourished in regenerated ideas
of womans true place in her own coun-
try. False ideas must be destroyed that
nobler ones may find room to grow.
Both boys and girls should be taught, at
the earliest possible age, that our pres
ent relations of the sexes in govern
ment are simply crude results of blum
dering experiments made in the evolu-
ton of mankind from a lower type OF
humanity, where brute force was the
only gauge of excellence. 1t is, there
fore, government of which true civil
cation should be ashamed.
