REASONS FOR WOMEN NOT TO VOTE.

REASONS FOR WOMEN NOT TO VOTE.
HOW SUFFRAGE FOR THEM WOULD WORK
AN APPEAL NOT TO FOLLOW MEN ALTOGHER.
To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In spite Of the threadbare state to which the
suffrage question seems 10 have been reduced there
are few points overlooked
D- Jacobi saws that il is doubtful whether many
women would neglect to vote 1t is the fact that
this is not very doubtful but unhappily probable
that has turned the scale with good many of
Us who believe abstractly in woman suffrage.
There Is no guaranty that there would not be as
many women as men 10 neglect their duty in this
regard simply because they are selfish. lazy or
irresponsible and added 10 these, by their own
testimony are numbers of women who would not
vote If they could because they "do not regard II
as either duty a privilege" To say that this
sinking is allowable because men do it does not
Indicate the higher morality which is waiting TO
enter politics
There is. however, one quite proper reason for
emitting TO vote that one has paired off" with
another on the opposite side, so that the result
is the same as If both had voted The votes OF in
ielligent women are a great loss when the State
will have none of them; but 1t should be kept in
mind that many of them are paired with ignorant
voters whose power for harm is thus curtaedi
while the intelligent class have the press and
other means Of Influence open TO them.
Ii Is Gladstone. ! think. who says that IL Ia not
enough that votes be counted they ought also 10 be
weighed. Now. under the present system. votes
being anonymous. they can only be counted. The
vote Of philosopher and patriot counts one
The vote OF fool. villain or a loafer counts
the same. Would II not be well If. instead OF
Insisting on having our votes counted, we were
70 devise some means Of having them weighed
(Which is not impOssible)2
Where is the political economy OF wanting 1000
0c, say. people devotng themselves 10 what 1000
700 can do? II the intellectually and superhuous
energy Of women are new force. II is foolish &c
let them be gObblel up by business and politics
a. e, public business which already engross
nearly all American men, leaving them little time
ior anything else. II may be better service 10 the

oowAaERs WITH BAD MANNERS,



Common In London Bail Rooms.
A writer In an English newspaper has
uttered wall concerning the degen-
eracy Of the age, and cites examples of
the great falling off in manners in
what are generally called In Great
Britain the upper circles, to prove it. II
half he says is true he makes out a
very good case.
He asserts that In London ball rooms
one finds the chaperons, ladies often OF
mature years, struggling for seats like
80 many football men In scramble.
He objects to what he calls "their calm
ipsolence and their tricks and devices
20 get the better Of one another" He
alleges that couple Of dowagers will,
when seated on each side OF third,
talk across her for an hour or more 50
eagerly that their chins almost meet In
front Of the sufferer. Dowagers have
offended him seriously.
Tho critic notices the recent strin.
gent rules at the queens drawing
rooms, and says that they were neces-
sary. Nothing milder, In his opinion,
would check the crowding and pushing
which have now converted the scene OF
q great state ceremonial into q lively
bear garden. Then these Is the III
hammered chatter with which occu.
pants Of stalls and boxes at the thea.
ters interrupt the performance. This
censor Of public manners flnds that the
most hopeless feature Is the behav ior
Of the rising generation.
Asheville daily citizen., 1894-09-27

Natural phenomena often give rise to
superstitions, and when these are of
long standing and have been augment
ed by tradition, credulous people seem
to pin their faith to them unquestion-
ingly. The natives Of the vicinity Of
Laos regard with the EXTREMIST awe q
certain plateau that divides their terri
tory from Anam. This plateau Is covered
with trees and dense foliage, and is q
region OF almost perpetual rains.
Hunters are forbidden to speak aloud,
to Gre guns or make any unusual noise,
and fires must not be lighted lest 1t
should cause tho rain to fall. These
untutored children Of the forest long
ago grasped the idea that rainfalls
could be precipitated by concussion or
by disturbing the strata Of the air.
They, however. regarded the matter as
something supernatural and wonder.
