WOMAN OF THE FUTURE.
DEAR C. c.: This may he little late for the
subject, but ! only recently saw ia your issue
OF Oct. Is. 1894. the article by Amos l.. Seaman
| entitled woman OF the Future"
Ii seems 10 me no well-read man would make
the erroneous allegations he puts in his frs,
paragraph. When be can bring proofs Of such
"hair-puling matches" and tongue lashings -
/ from women's meetings as the House Of Com
mons indnlged ia year or two ago. and such
as are often reported as taking place in our
| State Legislatures, we will concede tn at women
are as bad as men in not taking results logic
ally"
During that scrap in Parliament members
were knocked under the benches by their COL
leagues, hats were sent flying. and some
smashed down about the ears of the wearers,
and altogether sucn scene was enacted as
made the face of Gladstone fame with sur
prise and shame.
Does Mr. Seaman think such actions manly ?
People who live in glass houses should not
throw stones" In referring TO the Woman q
Board OF Worlds Fair Managers Mr. Seaman
shows he does not know anything about it,
The truth is the ladies did not quarrel or act
in anywise unbecomiug 10 dignified woman
hood. Mr.. Seaman innst have relied wholly on
newspaper reports for information.
One the Worlds Fair reporters, when asked
by member Of the board why he reported the
doings Of the Board SO unjustly. replied g IL is
the only way you can be reported at ALL" in.
timating that the papers were in collision to
place the Woman's Board in a false light before
the country.
Just why they persisted in sowing this lie
broadcast has not yet been disclosed. Possibly
the editors, being men, thought justice to
women would be an uncaled-for innovation
IL permitted.
Mr.. Seaman docs no. take the trouble to tell
US what kind of meetings men have among
themselves, but have been very often assured
By men who weTesrgung against ea ual suffrage.
that political meetings were not fit for the
presence Of women.
So rough are they, aud so scandalous. by their
own showing. that men themselves call the
political mess they have gotten into The
filthy pool of politics"
j have attended many women's meetings
and j can truihfGlly say / never heard one
rough or Gnladyiike expression in any of them
No one has ever been knocked down, no hat
has been smashed, la Parliament, or any
other way.
Would il not do Mr.. Seaman world of good
to ponder the works Of Robbie Burns?
oh. wud the eads the gftic gle u.s.
Iae zee ourselves itieTs see usi"
The other criticisms on women are too trivial
TO notice. Women never get off cars when they
are going here ia Minneapolis. Men have thus
foolishly endangered their lives all along, but
Mr.. Lowry has put gates on the cars to stop the
practice.
