ANOTHER VICTORY FOR woMEN.

Mrs. Belva Lockwood is to be congratu-
lated upon the successful issue Of her per-
sistent effort to be admitted to practice in the
supreme court Of appeals OF Virginia. She
has not only gained a gratifying personal
victory, but has done incalculable service to
her sex by breaking down another of the
artificial barriers-not the less artificial be-
cause upheld by custom, tradition, and
preIudice-which have SO long impeded the
mas.s moral, and intellectual advance
ment OF women. Mrs. Lockwood has ever
been n sturdy pioneer in the march of woman's
progress. and by her undaunted courage has
overcome difficulties which to others seemed
insurmountable. ALI honor also to that
sterling old Virginia jurist, Judge Christian.
who, as one standing upon the heights, his
vision untrammeled by clouds and mists,
discerned the passing away of an old era,
and, having seen. was not afraid to lead the
way to the new order OF things.
