WYOMING!
[ Continued from Third pooe

oou " oAc year. Besides her
agricultural resources, Wyoming is
rich In minerals and oil. She al
ready has about 10000 inhabitants
Near the close of the first legisla-
tive assembly, without any previous
discussion, member introduced the
following bill:
Belt enacted by the Council and House of Rep
iesehtatlVes or the Territory of Wyoming:
SEC. /. Every woman of the age of Is, resident
In this Territory, may at every election to be
noiuen under the laws thereof cast her vote.
ana her rights to the elective franchise, and to
lnold office, shall be the same under the cleo.
ZION laws OF the Territory as those of electors.
SEC. II. This Act shall take effect and be IN
force from and after its passage.
Strange to say, the bill passed al
most unanimously and without debate.
1t was said at the time that it was
done partly as joke, and partly to
advertise the Territory, hoping there
by to induce larger migration of
women. 1t was democratic meas
ure, and as that party was in the ma
jority, there was no difficulty in pass
ing it. However, the Republicans,
too, voted for the bill, and Repub-
lican governor signed it.
As the women generally voted the
Republican ticket, it being thu party
of law and order, their votes changed
the politics of the State, leaving the
Democrats in the minority. They
made several attempts to disfranchise
the women, but to no purpose The
best men in the Territory recognized
the civilizing power of woman at the
polls, in the courts and in general So
ciety, and have remained steadfast to
the principle.
Before women went to the polls,
disorder and rowdyism prevailed; fist
icuff fights were usual, and even the
use of firearms was frequent; fraud
and violence marked the elections.
And yet, the first time carriages rolled
up to the polls loaded with women to
vote, that rough pioneer crowd fell
back in line, hats in hand, and main
tanned respectful silence until the
women had voted. Their influence
was felt, too, in the choice of candi-
dates :, they invariably opposed the
nomination of men of immoral char
acter and bad habits.
In the courts women discharged
their duties with wisdom and discre-
ton. Esther Morris, as justice of the
peace, presided for two years, main
tanning the most orderly court in the
Territory, and none of her decisions
were ever reversed.
As Jurors, too, they were reason
able and conscientious, holding their
sentiments and emotions in allegiance
to the evidence. Even in a murder
case, where much anxiety was ex-
pressed lest women should be gov
erned by their feelings, their verdict
was strictly in line with the testimony.
They felt the responsibility in decid-
ing on human life, and carefully re-
viewed the testimony again and again,
and after prolonged and serious
consultation, they were unanimous in
rendering the verdict guilty"
Miss Anthony and in company
visited the Territory in 1871, and saw
the women who had filed these va
rious offices, talked with them at their
ea.;loo uo+ohod thono in their do

private affairs. They laughed over
the common idea that women had not
the physical endurance to vote and
hold office. They said they never
earned three dollars day SO easily as
sitting in comfortable chairs listening
to cases in court, and it was less of
an effort to vote than to watch loaf
of bread through its various phases
until it emerged from the oven in per-
lection.
Women have manifested great pub
lie spirit, and conscientious interest
in every department of government,
especially in that of education. At
the last census, Wyoming was re-
turned as having smaller per cent.
of illiteracy than any State or Terri
tory in the Union. Again, she has
no public debt. On January 10, 1890,
after every obligation had been paid,
there was in her treasury $3.50, 900;
due, no doubt, in some measure, to
woman's economy in many minor ex-
penditures, And yet her educational
and charitable institutions are well
sustained.
And now, Wyoming has been adj
mitted into the sisterhood of States
with a woman suffrage provision in
her constitution. She had been duly
warned that this proviso would prob
ably block her chance for admission,
but her wisest politicians said, ave
will take the noble women, who have
endured with us the hardships of
pioneer life, into the Union with us,
or we will remain a Territory until
there are manly men enough in Con-
gress to admit us together. For
tunately there was a sufficient number
there already TO pass the bill, though
after much opposition and prolonged
debate, in which the old platitudes
that have been answered a hundred
times were made to do duty once
more. The frivolous objections we
hear on both sides of the Atlantic, in
England and America alike, are un-
worthy of gentlemen who have had
the advantage of collegiate education,
drilled in science, philosophy, history
and logic. 1t is fair to suppose that
they present the best arguments they
can find, hence we must attribute
their failure, not to any lack of native
strength, but to the paucity of the
material at hand on that side of the
question.
The history of Wyoming should
close the debate on this subject, as
we now have abundant facts of long
standing to contradict all the abb
surd suggestions and soul-harrowing
prophecies of the opposition.
The discussion on the admission of
Wyoming in Congress was watched
with intense interest throughout the
country, as well as in Washington.
The galleries in the capitol were
crowded day after day, and the pas
sage of the bill was hailed with the
widest enthusiasm, especially in Wy
oming, and celebrated in her chief
cities with music, professions, flags
and banners waving everywhere, with
guns and cannon firing salutes through
the day, and bonfres illuminating the
towne for into the MONT prenara-

great principles Of equal rights for all.
This marks new epoch on the horo-
loge of time, in which we are to wit
ness the realization of the poet lau-
reate's prophecy:
Everywhere
Two heads in council, two beside the hearth
TWO in the tangled business of the world
Two plummets dropt as one to sound the abyss
Vi science, and the secrets of the mind"
In his last speech given at Harvard
College, Wendell Phillips, our prophet,
orator and seer, in speaking of the
destiny OF woman, said: "The first
glimpse we get of Saxon blood in
history is that line of Tacitus which
reads, In all grave matters we con-
suit our women Years hence, when
robust Saxon sense has flung away
Jewish superstition and Eastern preju-
dice, and put under It's foot fasticious
scholarship and squeamish fashion,
some second Tacitus from the valley
of the Mississippi will answer to him
of the seven hills, In all grave mat
tiers we consult our women. This
prophecy, made only nine years ago,
is already fulfilled. The statesmen
of Wyoming have indeed echoed back
from under the very dome of our
capitol that Gin all grave matters we
consult our women" yea, more, be-
yond the valley of the Mississippi
they have planted a republic where
the matriachate, or mother age, shall
be realized once more.
Though by inheritance we should
share in all conquests of the fathers,
from their landing on Plymouth Rock
until now, though rlghtful heirs of
North America from sea to sea, yet we
gladly yield it all for that holy land,
called Wyoming, redeemed from the
great American Desert, where at last
women may enjoy the blessings of
self-government. 1t is small spot,
we own, compared with the vast pos
sessions that should be ours; but
Palestine on the eastern map looks
smaller still, yet the great doctrine Of
human equality was uttered there by
Him whose life was one great sacrifice.
Through all these centuries, that
thought, waited by winds and waves
round aud round the globe, has found
no living echo to its truth until now.
Wyoming answers back, and the
daughters of the people who have
also touched the depths of self-sacr.
fee, have come up through great trib-
ulations to join in the chorus, equal
Rights to ALL"
The Saxon race is destined, / be-
lieve, to carry the new gospel of
woman's equality to all the nations
of the earth. Thus far, England and
America have kept pace, step by step,
in this direction, and l venture to
predict that the sunlight now shining
on the mountain tops of Wyoming
will soon gild the venerable dome of
St. Pauls. The pilgrims of the flu
ture will not be mourning saints weep
ing around the sepulchres of the dark
past, but happy multitude, seeking
westward the one bright star in our
constellation of States; rejoicing in
risen humanity, redeemed from
poverty and ignorance, and free from
the hateful spirit of caste and class;

There Is a place most sweet and blesh
Which here We call the Land oil Resi-
A land with bills and valleys fair,
And many OF our loved ones there;

They went the lonesome journey on;

Went out into the Land OF hest.

WHY THEY TWINKLE.

When Eve had led her lord away,
And Cain had killed his brother,
The stars aud flowers the poets say,
Agreed with one another.
To cheat the cunning tempter's art,
And teach the race its duty,
BY keeping on its wicked heart
Their eyes of light and beauty.
A million shptpless lids, they say,
VIII be at least a warning;
And SO the flowers would watch by day,
The stars from eve to morning
On hill and prairie, field and lawn,
Their dewy eyes upturning.
Till western skies are burning.
Alasl each hour OF daylight tells
A tale of shame so crushing,
That some turn white as sea-bleached shells
And some are always blushing.
But when the patient stars look down
On all their light discoveries,
The traitors smiles, the murdcrer's frown,
The lips oflying lovers.
They try to shut their saddening eyes,
And in the vain endeavor
We see them twinkling in the skies,
And 50 they wink forever,
