Tho Tribune does not need TO speak OF lis great
admiration for Woman Without her. TINS wouin

a bleak. cold, forbidding world, which would con-
tinuc TO get worse the longer IL lasted we
shudder TO think Of the world at the END oil
hundred womaness years. But delightful as
woman is and must ever remain. how much deep
sorrow she often brings " good men.
We hone we understand the danger OF even
limiting that woman has o sphere In contracted
pent-up Utica sense. The boundless universe IN
woman's sphere Sane people have stopped deny
inc this. But how much trouble she makes Tor
man when she steps out OF what was
supposed to be her sphere in the dark
ages which prevailed up to twenty. thirty OF
forty Years ago There Is no place. we suppose,
on the face of the earth we inhabit where woman
is SO unfettered as in the State Of Kansas. Here
she follows out her manifest destiny and votes
and holds office Nature will always triumph IN
the end. For long time woman was unhaturay
kept out of office, but IL could not - on forever
Woman has come into her own In Kansas, puo
alas for man In Kansas few days ago therc
arrived in Hiawatha, Kansas, several unprepos'
sessng looking men wearing stiff clothes which
stood out around them like high board fence
around baseball ground. After looking about
town little, they lit their pipes, produced great
pals of paste, and proceeded to cover every Dill
board in the city with posters Of a gorgeous ana
startling nature. They were advance billstickers
for q certain London Gaiety Company which, IL
appears, is composed largely of young women. The
pictures represented these young people as clothed
in way which it would seem should have de
lighted the dress reform women Of Hiawatha'
since they showed pretty thorough emancipation
from skirts, but it seems that it did not. The
women Of Hiawatha were scandalized. They arose
in body and proceeded TO the council chamber
and demanded that the obnoxious pictures be pro-
hibited. Unfortunately. the women OF Hiawatha
neglected at the last election to that Aldermen
were chosen from their own SEX OF course. the
men refused to interfere with the pictures,
and each felt in his pocket to
make sure that he had not lost his complimentary
ticket to the performance The women were in
dignant, and left the chamber. Then, according
to the dispatch, they armed themselves with
ptchforks and rakes and scraped the bills from
the boards" They then declared the members Of
the Council social outcasts and went home.
Nothing we suppose, can he done about this.
OF course it is an outrage on the men of IIia-
watha thus to deprive them of n chance for arts;
tic study but what redress have they? None
whatever. In Kansas nothing is so superiiuous
as man. Once he was powerful and his voice
was heard on public questions; he is eeen
but little, and in place of the sound of his voice
there is the harsh scratch of the garden rake and
the four-tned pitchfor; as his wife and daughters
cultivate the bill-boards and tear away pictures
in which he formerly delighted. The question Of
the deportation Of the Kansas man will yet find it's
way into National politics. His most sacred
rights have been trampled ON. There has ceased
to be any reason for his further existence in that
