let the women be doctors and lawyers. What
difference does it make to us men?
All mon cannot ill places OF professional
men. because they lack brains and If women
are superior to men, where are We to look for
employment
fla woman has liking for any particular
calling she should follow it, and tho men should
be proud to help her in the work, instead of
soothing at her.
If her calling leads her from her fireside into
public places, no true gentleman would insult
her. If insulted at all it is by some low, Icon.
lions scoundrel who has no honor, and never
will have. c. A. Lambert, Marcelus, Mich.
WOULD SHARE HIS RIGHTS.
DEAR G. G. FRIENDS: j have been a silent
c. c. for several years. do not pretend to be
a writer, but am not one of those lofty fellows
who may not be caught up with current topics
of the day.
On the question of woman would give wo-
men every right have ever have had. l
would give them the right to vote, the right to
| all the professions, to BIO jurors, judges, tho
right to scratch for living, to speak in meet
ing and pray in public split kindling and build
fires.
would give her the right to WOO, win and
propose l believe in being magnanimous.
And now. c. c. friends have question to
ask. A discussion has arisen among some OF
my friends as to why we are living in the 18th
century, when it takes nearly five mc3e years
to bring Us up to tho beginning of 1900. Seme
claim that We aro not living in the 18th century.
c. C.'s, please explain.

following interesting "reminiscences from his
store OF army experiences
/ recall an incident that came near being the
death of an officer of an Ohio regiment during
the war.
1t was during tho latter part of December,
1852. in tho Chickassw swsmps. near VicIs-
burg. Miss. The regiment was drawn up in
lino-ef battle. all on the ground, the officers
few feet in 'front.' when the commanding officer
gave orders to examine the guns.
One of the guns accidentally won't off, the
bullet went into tho ground just in front of the
officer and the officer is still living as far as
know, and is good citizen.

CURRENT OPINION.
The wcmsn does the most work, of course;
for whore would the race be without her? She
rules and trains tho child, and what would the
school be if sho ware left out? Then, think of
her services during the war and in all our
charities OF to-day, public and private. Her
labor for humanity exds with death only.

NAN AND WOMAN OUT.
DEAR C. C. FRIENDS: Whom read the let
ter of W. 8. Hssre, Springfield. No.. giving his
raassas fer net rs-ontsripg the G. g., / sus-
Psctes that it usuld get him into hot water,
aud find ny suspicious fully verified. Please
sllew me to say few words in relation 10 the
whsle natter.
Daisy B. North, while uphclding Frances E.
Willard. says: I'VE will net ask him to uphold
Mrs. Leases cause"
When readers of the c. c. speak they should
speak snly for their own convictions. Daisy
may act approve Of Mrs Lease, but there is a
large number whe do, and no enc can say
positively that she is not = representative of a
majority Of the wsses Of America; or. more
properly speaking. of the United States.
In regard to Frances T. Willard there can be
OF putting down that terrible curse, intsmper-
ancc.
Reading in my NATIONAL TRIBUNE. find
part Of an address delivered by Miss Willard
before tho w. c. T. u. in which she gives q
now version of tho crsation of woman, and
would like TO AJAX in all seriousness and respect
for tho subject, is it net time fer grOvn.up
men and women 10 get out Of the childish belief
that woman was created out Of q crook ed bone
taken frem q man?
How many of the readers of THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE have ever stopped to consider that
this story Of the creation Of woman Has written
by mani
And, then, the rensrslly-received idea of God
is that He is fthe mslc rex. How much longer
is il going to take for men to grasp the idea
interests are 50 closely interwovon that what
ever man does to uplift and snnoble woman
ennobles hinsslf2
1t is for tho interest OF every man to do all
in his power to make wsman free as he himself
is, and to treat her his equal in all things?
The influence Of good women on society can
not be ovcreHtinated. As mothers, wives, SIS
tsrs, swesthssrts, fricnds-is there on the earth
anything better, nobler, sweetsr than good,
pure woman?
Tho world will never be governed right I'M
I'll woman stands By the side of man at the bal
lot box and Votes. as j know she will, from
judgment, net for party, as unfortunately so
many mon now do.
As for Mr.. Moore, I'll leave him with the
"Dsisys," who are quite enough for hiE.
