Mr.. Gladstone said lie had, several
years ago, declined an invitation to visit
the United States for obvious reasons,
the principal one of which was his
advanced age. As this condition of

such an undertaking was out of the

THANKS TO WOMEN.

Very many well-disposed persons who have
conscientiously opposed and do now oppose
woman suffrage give as their reason for their
opposition their belief that the bestowal OF
the electoral franchise upon women would
have a tendency TO lower their moral sensi-
bilities, as well as be otherwise conducive to
loosen the moral bonds of the community.
OF course, this view Of the matter was to
the last degree strabismal. Whenever and
wherever good women-and the great majority
OF women are good-have interested them
selves 10 any cause and lent 1t their aid, they
have elevated. ennobled. purified it. That their
influence in the political field would be in
the same direction need not have been
doubted. That such doubts were unjustifed
has been amply demonstrated by the recent
cHmpa gn and election.
In New York city the good women rose
against the corruption and vice that flourished
under Tammanys protection. They learned
that their husbands and sons and brothers
were surrounded by a net of temptation
woven and spread by persons who paid 10
the political organization in control Of the
