A. New View Of Woman's Rights
OnocfIOp

Woman's rights continues to be
discussed both in this country and in
Europe. Quite recently new view
of the question has been advanced by
S. Rossman that is exciting much
comment
The PosT is in entire accord with
Mr.. Rossman upon the general prop
osition that woman's sphere is sepa
rate and distinct from that of man.
Her Kingdom should be exclusively
composed of the beautiful little world
called home. We think with Mr..
Rossman, that when we open the
doors of mans vocation to woman,
we will be signing the death warrant
to all that is noble in mans nature
With no shrine of beauty at which to
worship sentiment must necessarily be-
come dull, honor less valuable and
mental and physical deterioration in
evitablc. This would be brought
about by variety Of causes, not one
of which is mentioned by Mr.. Ross
man. On the contrary, he agrees
with the Posi- in the conclusion ar
rived at, but attains it by an entire
ly different and erroneous process. The
Posi- thinks that the cause of this
deterioration would be the result of
business intercourse. That feeling
of respect and alteration we feel for
woman would necessarily be blunted
by our business contact with her.
That greatest of all graces, a modest
reticence, would give way to voice
like Miss acknowledgements, the Egyp-
tologist; and refinement to coarSe
Dir. Rossman's argument is that
aptitude for certain profession are
generally speaking Inherited by man.
AS a corollary to this proposition he
asserts that man who takes mas
culine woman for wife is likely to
have masculine daughters as offspring,
and then proponnds this query: Is
it desirable, harmful, or immaterial
that the characteristics Of sex
should he obliterated? He asserts in
answer to this that the placement of
sex distinctions, would destroy one
Of the most important provisions
designed by nature to prevent the
OF the race; that the un-
ion of individuals with like tastes and
instincts is in direct violation of the
laws of nature, and that must newt
ably produce progeny which is i'll
tilted to take part in the struggle tor
existence.
Mr.. Rossman expresses his coRclq-
sion very forceful, but the manner
BY which he reaches it would puzzle
my modern metaphysician. No one
gith q scintilla Of sense would main
sain tfat il would be desirable to OBJ
iterate sex distinctions, even gere
i,lcl thing possible. by what pro-
less the offspring Of the intcrmarriage /
if d masculine man and woman would

Hypnotism in Church.
BOSTON Transcript.

Somebody has discovered that church
sleepiness is to be explained on scientific
principles. 1t is, in TACT. condition of
hypnotism, and so far from indicating
inattention to the sermon shows rather
complete absorption by it. Fixing ones
mind on the voice of The minister in the
otherwise complete silence of the audi
ence room produces just the conditions
necessary to domination by an
others mind, and the nodding head
and dropping, heavy eyelids are not
eloquent of the preachers dizziness,
but rather mnte testimonials OF his
powerful influence. Thus, one BY one,
are hOary traditions fading away before
the searching light of science.

Brown Of Klng1nsn.

The following dispatch, sent from
Wichita, appeared last Saturday in nearly
all the Kansas and Eastern dsilies:
When w. L. Brown, the POpulist editor
Of q Kingman paper, returned home last
night from Che Peoples party state Convsn-
biOn, al which he had bitterly opposed she
resolution indOrsing the pending cOngsitu-
hiOnal amendment, large body Of woman
suffragistS met him az the depot and as
soon as he left the train they seized him,
arrayed him in q flowing yellow Mother
Hubbard and sunbonneG and compelled
him TO march through the principal streets
Rt Che head Of brass brand.
Although the ADVOCATE has received
no direct advices from Kingmsn regard
ing this important transaction, the i'm
preston Ia that Brother Brown did
the Mother Hubbard RCt in payment Of
bet made before he went to the con-
VSntion. II 1t was an impromptu affair,
he did well to surrender a. he did, and
he should consider himself fortunate
that he did not have to wear an out
landishly fashionable hat, cape with
wings on it like o sea gull, corset and
high heeled Shoes. In that case, even,
the next issue Of Editor Browns paper
would doubtless have contained an edi-
torisl parody on "The Vicar Of Wake
flsld'' something like the following:
When lovely woman stoops to folly
And finds too late that men betray,
There's no use trying to make her jolly
Unless you let her have her way.

amendment 1t was also decided by mo-
tiOn that each speaker should be limited
TO i've minutes, that Annie L. DiRgs
should close for the suffrsgists and P.
z. Elder for the opposition. The chair
ruled that the first motion did not imply
that speeches should be confined to the
last amendment, but might cover the
subject in general.
A HOT DISCUSSION.
Then came q battle OF the giants. but
it was all in q fair, friendly spirit.
Nearly every county had it's "ablsst
man" who was urged by his admirers to
take the floor, but many Of the "ablest"
failed to get recognition because Of the
man with the fog-horn voice whom mo-
body wanted to hear. The chair divided
the time between districts as best he
could. Some OF the speeches were very
eloquent, some were ordinary and some
were ludiCrouR Some Of the speakers
used more than the allotted time before
they were called down, while others fell
of their chair fbsfore their time ex-
pired. There was no standing room left
in the hall during the whole debate, and
Judging from the way the spectators
stayed and watched the proceedings
with gaping mouth, they must have
been deeply interested.
Twelve o'clock came, and with it call
for Mrs. Diggs. She was the only per-
son not q delegate who was given q
privilege to speak. Her words flowed
like oil-like oil on troubled waters they
pervGded the hall. She grew earnest,
eloquent, overpowering in her plea for
the suffrage plank. Five, six, seven,
eight minutes passed, and nobody called
time. But she knew better than to
talk her cause TO death and she quit just
Rt the right time.
p. P. Elder took the platform to close
the debate, but ne seemed to have lost
all interest in the question. Some said
he was talking to lose, others say he was
"rattled." Anyway he did not make
anything like an Elder speech. He
worked of a staggering joke or two
about the women and the resolutions
committee, then settled down and tried
to be serious, and finally said "rspub-
lican, when he meant to say Populist,
retiring amid the widest kind OF
laughter.
The suhragists lad won easily. The
Wilson substitute was defeated, 526 to
81, Then the Otis smendmentto adopt
the minority report was carried by a
vote Of 326 to 28O before the antis be-
gan changing their votes. Without any
preliminary motion the convention be-
came ratification meeting and two
minutes later il looked doubtful as to
whether there was an anti-Sufrsgist in
the house.
NOMINATIONS.
After q short adjournment for dinner
the convention again assembled at 2 p,
m. Several unimportant resolutions
were submitted and disposed Of before
the chair announced that according to
the order Of business nominations for
the Office OF associate justice Of the su-
preme court were in order. A delegate
from Rice county presented the name
Of George W. Clark. Kane, OF Dickin-

satisfactory.
Responding to calls Carrie Chapman
Gait, Susan B. Anthony and Rev. Anna
Shaw each addressed the convention on
the suffrage question. Delegate Car
penter got Miss Anthony on record by
asking her il she would ally herself with
the Peoples party as against the Fepub-
lican, il this convention should adopt
the suffrage plank. She replied that
she would.
The evening session was devoted to
hearing and adopting reports of the first
three committees: forming q new state
committee Of two from each congress
siOnRl district, and TO receiving Ccntri-
buttons to the campaign fund from the
county delegations. The amounts
pledged amounted to about $1,000. The
committee on permanent organization
made great hit by recommending that
J. M. Dunsmore, Of Neosho, be made per-
manent chairman and Ben @. Rich, Of
Trego, permanent secretary. The fact
that they had been speaker and chief
clerk Of the Dunsmore house struck the
convention "all over" and the report was
adopted. Chairman Dunsmore after
ward appointed Leroy Dick, who had
been sergesnt-at arms Of the house, SER
geant-Rt arms OF the convention. SeC-
retary Davis was continued In Office. The
convention adjourned to Sam.
SECOND DAY.
Il was a strange sight in Topeka to
see a political state convention meet st
8 o'clock q. M, as this one did on
Wednesday. The delegates were here
for business, and they went about it and
stuck to it as they would with any other
work. The district members Of the
state committee having been selected,
the first business of the morning was q
motion by W. H. Carpenter to re-elsCt
John W. BriedsnthRl chairman Of the
committee. The motion carried without
a dissenting voice.
The resolutions committee was ready
to report, and it was generally known
among the delegates that there would
be two reports, for the members had not
agreed as to the suffrage plank. They
had been up till after midnight hearing
both sides Of the case argued, much the
same as a court would cit and hear q
case argued. They had agreed on every
other part Of the platform, but on the
suffrage plank only eight out OF the
twsnty-one were favorable TO inserting it.
W. L. Brown read the majority report,
which contained all but the paragraph
referring to the suffrage amendment. e.
r. Ridgely represented the minority and
read their report, which was the same 90
the other with the addition Of the plank
faVoring the amendment. P. P. Elder
moved the adoption OF that part Of the
report to which ell the committee had
agreed. John G. Otis moved an amend
ment that the minority report be Bubsti-
tuted for the majority. W. Il. Wilson
moved an amendment to the amendment
that the following bs inserted instead Of
the suffrage plank submitted by the
minority:
