"Woman and the Political Life" was
the subject Of ono lecture in a course upon
Ideal Woman" given by the Rev. DR.
c. II. Eaton at the Church Of the Divine
Paternity, New York. DIR. Eaton made u
warm appeal for the ballot for women on
the ground Of justice and right. He spoke
Of the ability of women in all ages and
the wonderful power they had exercised in
the government when IL was legally denied

mately II they cannot have It in any other
way, DIR. Eaton said. "They cajole men
by their personal influence. Women are
preparing themselves to understand tho
government. In this city they arc study
ing, attending lectures and law classes.
The women Of the Primrose league in
England do not consider it unwomanly TO
take voters 20 the polls or 10 address them
If need be. Women are permitted 10 vote
in railroad corporations where they have
stocks and bonds, but If they put their
money into houses they have no voice in
the care of the street upon which they
stand. The basis Of our government is tho
consent Of the governed and woman is
governed as much as man, if not little
more. "

American Mothers Through English Eyes.

American Mothers Through English Eyes.

by the sacriflcial life of a mother. Girls
do not always marry early there. They
like a good time, and their mothers can
not bear TO part from them, say, from 5 to

heavier chains than any English mother
does, whose love expresses itself different

a religion. The husband never dreams Of
demurring 10 wife and family quitting
him for months at time and sending
him to live at his club if the babies health
or entertainment seems TO call for it.
The mother nurses them in sickness,
gives up her likes and dislikes, her accom-
plishments, her Hmusements, her husband,
keeps up or drops a circle at the bidding
Of the irresponsible small things. She is
never divided from her young ones, some
times not night or day, till they are well
on in their teens. She is nursemaid, gov
erness, sister, all in one, and it wears her

REMOVING THE MASK.

The Labor Commissions investigation
proves conclusively that whatever de-
preston may have occurred In the busi-
ness of the Pullman Car Company was
made up by the unequal cutting OF the
wages of the workmen. The corporation
may have found contracts unremunera-
tive. but II took good care that the losses
should fall mainly on Its employees and
not on Its stockholders.
The claims 30 impudently put forth
that the corporation was a great philan-
thropic institution, that conferred bene-
dts and blessings on all fortunate enough
to work for 1t, is disproved by the testi-
mony OF the officers of the Company
themselves. and the exposures made by
