What One Woman Says.

1t is curious and interesting at any
summer ersort or any other gathering
of intelligent women to see the general
profound Indifference to politics-to
any news Of the day, however excit.
ing, which relates to the affairs Of
the nation. Still more curious is it to
observe, on questioning ardent female
suffragists, how little they know about
the great questions of the hour. They
generally say, ooh, both parties are
corrupt, but when women vote poll
tics will be purified" Will 1t? Are not
women also possessed of moral in
firmities? VIII not many women sell
their votes, bargain for Office, intrigue,
combine with others for selfish ends?
Where there is no temptation, there
Is no sin; but when power comes, and
with it temptation, shall we find that
God has created one sex "good," the
other "bad?' All, no; women dre like
men, Of the same time and race, only
their pursuits, occupations and habits
Of life differ; their sphere is domestic,
their intercourse with the world far
more limited. They now have power
to do far more by influence in public
matters, by an intelligent interest in
schools, hospitals, almshouses, than
they exercise. and it is lamentable that
SO few women care how the public
charities Of their own towrs are man.
aged. There is no good reason to think
that the right of suffrage will increase
that interest. A spirit of humane un.
selfishness leads men and women both
to care for them now, in spite of their
right to vote.-Clara Temple Leonard
