WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN NEW JERSEY.
There Is No Law Permitting II. Despite an
Assertion to the CONTRARY.

Assertion to the Contrary.
When the question of woman suffrage is dis
cussed among New Jersey people the assertion
Is often made that n law already exists in that
State permitting women to vote, and that II was
passed In Revolutionary times but has never
been acted upon. To settle the question, J. VI.
Bachelor of Has sbrouck Heights wrote TO State
Librarian Hamilton OF New Jersey and received
the following reply:
DEAR SIR In reply 10 yours Of the o5th ult.
permit me to say that despite the assertions OF
several "woman's rights enthusiasts. no law
was ever enacted in New Jersey giving females
a right to vote at general elections.
The Constitution OF July =. i17G. provided
that "all Inhabitants Of full age worth fjO
proclamation money, and residents IN the county
one year may vote for members Of Council and
Assembly and all other officers elected by the
people of the county at large" Al the same time
land and so much OF the statute law heretofore
practised in this colony shall remain in force"
At that time women and negroes were not
recognized either here or in England as "inhab-
itants" OF citizens. II is true that in the ninth
section OF an act passed in 197 occur the words.
"his or her ballot "-evidently a clerical error
based upon a law bank-but no advantage was
ever known to be taken OF 1t, although II Is fire.
quently asserted that in the exciting Presidential
contest between Jefferson and Adams in 1900
the women took an active part in the campaign.
The absurdityI of this statement ia shown BY
the fact that II not until lS0S that the
people were allowed to vote for Presidential
electors. Previous to that time they were
nominated and elected by the Legislature.
Ii Is true that at town meetings 10 which the
law of elections was supposed not to apply;

The Girl OF Acadia.

From the Proridrnce Journal
Natives OF Acadia addicted to long Jaunts In

properly chaperoned are frequently come upon. For
the Acadian maiden Is lover OF the out.ofdoors In
winter she skates snowshoes and toboggans; In sum
mer she rows and swims with nne selfconndence.
She Is also simple, and knows little OF ideas OF
convention. What Providence girl, gently reared
would In mixed picnic party Of foreign visitors go
thirty feet or away into the woods, and there
screened only by shawl hung a limb. change her
customary dress for a bathing suit? The effect OF
this, the common way with girl swimmers OF Acadia
where bath houses not known, and modesty Is q

easily be imagined. None OF that party will lose
