Protest Of Women.

Womans Tribune.
The city council of New Orleans
having passed an ordinance to H.
cense the social evil, the women OF
that city took the alarm, and under
call of Mrs. E. l.. Saxon convened
in mass meeting. Miss Florence
Huberweld called the meeting to
order, Miss Kate Mobiles was elect
ed chairman and Miss Elsie Cage
secretary. Mrs. Saxon, at the open
ing of the meeting, read a letter
from Mayor Fitzpatrick, in which he
stated his intention of vetoing the
bill, whereupon resolutions of thanks
to the mayor and the press were
passed. Mrs. Saxon, who is the
pioneer social purity worker in the
United States, made a most earnest
address The bill was rightly stig-
matized as tending to further tor
ture and degrade class already de-
graded and oppressed as opening OPP
portunties for Matchmaking and ex-
tortion. and as Furnishing only one
offender, leaving the other unllmit-
ed opportunity with IMMUNITY.
Mrs. Saxon said that ninety-nine
per cent. of these women were driv-
en- to their life of shame through
want and per6dy Of man. As she
pictured the present and future OF
the outcast, twentv-six women OF
that class who were present sobbed
wildly, overcome by her eloquence
and touched with a longing for a
better life

Every political campaign and cleo
ton brings fresh humiliation to
thoughtful women. The least valu
able men, if they can read and are
out of prison, and are not idiots,
have votes. The men they help
elect will deal with every phase of
woman's interests, including even
the hours she may work in order to
earn the property we may own, our
rights as wives and mothers, every
thing in which woman may be lnvol-
we'd. Male scalawags have votes to
settle these things, while women
have no votes. 1t is impossible not
to feel ashamed of men influential in
politics in both parties, who, while
they make a great din about tin, vt
terly neglect the case of disfran-
chised women. They shout about
universal suffrage, while their his
tortorIc shame accumulates, to be
told hereafter Lucy STONE.

A PROPHESY.

Round with strong cords shackled creature lay,
HELPLESS and dumb but III its soulllt eyes
Shone promise fair at the break OF day,
When sun CLEANS flashed athwart the dusky skies;
And thew who passed said, "God and Nature
bOnds-and Sald 'LOve hath Douhu hcl Sa
Then Nature in majesty divine.
s.Who dares to utter blasphemy of me
These savish bonds work of mine
The child of Nature is forever free
And breathing on the prisoners heart it gave
One wild quick throb which burst cord apart
Gould God create His daughter for slave?
Truth filings the lie back whose thou art y
Came Love-not he the souless, blind, Greek boy,
Whose restless wings ever pumed for Hight,
With puny weapons for an urchlns toy
But Love the Lord alike of life and light
The Love which God gave woman for her DOVER
Ere slavery awoke or tyranny had power
az forge the chains of woman? Nay ~ he cried;
IT'S Love alone make her truly free
Mans equal she-born first from manhood's side,
Proof of her oneness and equality
owe her as her own flesh, the answer be
To all the SANDER careless lips have hurled
Teach man his lesson fairly, and then see
How Love and Woman make perfect world
Yet still she lay TILL with fash Of light
Gods LIGHTNING sword of Justice cleaved the SKIES
When God comes down, men tremble at the sight
AS thew who flock round Sinai yelled their eyes
And woman rose-with Nature as her guide
With Love her guardian-broken in the dust
Her shattered letters tyranny defed
And Iol men knew them as mans Pride and Lust

Woman has almost ceased to rec
ognize herself. So recently as the
sixteenth century Shakespeare
makes Petruchio say of her: "She
is my goods, my chattel She is my
house, my household stuff, my field,
my barn, my any thing" The form
ula of her degradation was the one
phrase that all nations seem to know
taken from holy writ "Thy desire
shall be to thy husband, and he shall
rule over thee" The London Times
of July IS, 1897, has the following
paragraph: On Friday "a butcher
EXPOSED his wife for sale in Smith
field market with halter about her
neck and a rope around her person.
A drover was the purchaser tor three
guineas and a crown" Nothing ell
courages the reform so much as to
know the splendid march of progress
and to feel that no mortal man can by
any possibility arrest its progress.
She who has been brought from such
degradation to be lifted up, not on
w as queen of the home and of So
ciety, but whom the world is rapid
