and, hence, got the crown-the
position. This is one of the
very strongest arguments in ia
vor of female suffrage, and am
glad that the Post man dug it up.
If she has brains enough to dis
place men in business positions,
she has ample ability to cast a
ballot once year, intelligently,
for the betterment of our COM
mon country. The Post man
will also take notice that these
conditions he uses as all argu-
ment against female suffrage are
as fixed as the planets in their
orbits, and have come to stay.
Granting or not granting suffrage
to females have nothing whatev-
er to do with it. 1t is the strong
est of all arguments in favor of
woman's competency to cast a
ballot intelligently. This fellow
appears to be afraid that some
woman with more brains and a
closer perception of things than
he has will displace him in the
editorial chair of the Post. The
woods is full of the dear creatures
who are perfectly competent to
lay him out on any subject if his
article I am replying to is a fair
gauge of his editorial ability.
The radical, emotional and
clear perceptions of women
(Which he so strenuously objects
to) is exactly what we want in
our politics. An honest, consci-
entious vote that can neither be
bought nor sold. This we will
get when we get female suffrage,
and this the HALF-vote that will
count for a happy home and a
reconciled country. Let us have
it, by all means.
Yours, etc.,

it would be gone. They would
have to scratch for living, like
every other man, and, as they
have sucked public pap all their
days, they would be totally I'M
fitted for it. But, the editor of
the Post Ga paper l never heard
of before) is very precise, and
intends to be very polite in his
dictum on female suffrage. He
generalizes largely, and groups
all the reasons | give above why
women should stay at home and
rock the cradle and do the house
drudgery, but under no circum-
stances should she be allowed to
vote, or in any manner NEEDLE in
politics, for the very illogical
reason that it would dethrone
woman as a household god and
relegate her to the political
slums. 1t would interfere with
marital relations cut down the
per cent. of increase of popula-
ton; render women independent
of the marriage relation bring
discord in the family, and other
wise smash things generally.
This hodge-podge stuff is flat,
stale and Improbable" even to
recount, but it is all the stock-in-
trade these promoters and defend
ers of corrupt, vicious, evil and
rascally politics have to offer
against the right of woman to
have a voice in the enactment OF
the laws that govern them, and
trying to make reforms in this
country that will never be made
without her vote.
Why, this Post man squeals at
the fact that women all over the
country are coming to the front
and occupying the places former
ly occupied by men, and thus
rendering it impossible for men
to get positions and money to
marry on, and, consequently, the
men and women go through life
lonely, childless, and never know
the sweets of home and children.
He forgets he is talking OF a
present settled condition growing
out of women having the same
educational ability to fill these
positions heretofore given to men,
and that the women outstripped
the men in the educational race

WOMAN sUFFRAGE...NO. IL.

EDITOR AGITAToR: have
been so excessively pushed with
business that l have fallen be-
hind with my letters. They are
written solely with a view to
throw some truthful light OH the
subject of female suffrage, and
to aid in the righting of great
wrong done the women OF this
country by denying a political
right that should have been in
herent from the start of our in
stitutions as a model republic.
If the ignorant and vicious
among the males were enfran-
chised as simple party ammuni-
ton for designing politicians to
use at the ballot-box to climb
into fat offices, why not enfran-
chise the same classes among the
women?
An article in the Garrett Jour
nal of last week, credited to the
Leavenworth Post, appears to
think that this position is sound
enough to keep our women
among the aliens, idiots, insane
and imbecil for all time to come;
that they have no political rights
that the male is bound to respect;
that casting ballot once a year
would disrupt family relations
would take the bloom of mod
esty from the cheeks of all fe-
males exercising the right OF
franchise would only add one
half more to the ignorant and
vicious vote of the country
would bring the radical, emo
tional female to the front and
confound the staid and reputable
doings of our big-brained politi-
clans that stir up the dirty poo
of politics as blind to get them,
selves into Office, and thus the
"times would be out of joint
for political gamblers and radical
emotional females who never in
tended to marry and raise fami
lies would run the politica
"machine;" and then, according
to this astute scribbler, what
time would these poor profession
al political gamblers have il

emolument. Truly, they would

Principle, Not Personal Tri-
umph.

The rejection of the Hornblower
nomination in the United States
senate this week seems to be re-
garded by the public in somewhat
superficial manner. 1t is assumed
that the action of the senate is to be
looked upon merely az the personal
triumph of the New York senator's
over the president, because the lat
ter assumed to nominate candida ate
for the United States supreme court
without consultation with the
senators from whose state the candi
date was accredited.
Unquestionably the question of
personal triumph enters into the
case, but to contemplate this i'm
portant, this almost momentous de.
cision, solely from such point of
view, would be to Judge it in mar
row manner. There is something
of more gravity at stake. The
president of the United States
evinces purpose to return to prac-
tees which are not in consonance
with the spirit of the nineteenth
century. 1t is no longer possible
to give out monopolies of playing
cards as Elizabeth did to Raleigh,
or bestow on favorite monopoly
of the sale of sweet wines as was
done by the virgin queen for Essex.
If an American president or one of
his ministers should sell monopc
lies, patents, or degrees of any
character, offices under the govern
ment and commissions in the army
and the navy, as was done by, in
the days of good Queen Besp, of
Bacon, and of Sarah Churchill,
first duchess of Marlborough, there
would be an outcry which would
drive even man of extraordinary
assurance, like Grover Cleveland,
into private life.
When president of the United
States dares to use the patronage OF
the United States as Elizabeth,
James, and William and Mary used
the power of the British sovereign
to reward favorites and humiliate
their opponents, he not only adopts
a policy which is repugnant to
American ideas of governmel
but is in direct violation of the
sentiment of the age in which We
live.
This Mr.. Cleveland has sought to
do. He has treated place on the
bench of the supreme court at
Elizabeth, of England, treated the
sale of playing cards and of sweet
wines. The court which he used
in this manner, is the most honored
and most potential tribunal on the
western hemisphere.
Is Mr.. Cleveland's nominee a
man to whom such questions can be
committed? If the candidate were
man of great learning and expert
ence, the fact that he was the presl
dents personal friend, and hac
gone out of his way TO atfront the
senators of the state of New York
would not affect the main issue.
But MIR. Hornblower is not mar
of great learning, and his expert
ence at the bar has not been exten
sive, for he is only AZ years of age.
He has had no experience whatever
as a judicial officer, while hi
practice seems to have been cor
