The premier states clearly the terms

WOMEN KEPT OFF THE THRONE.
saIic Law in Effect in Denmark,
Sweden, Prussia and other Places.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
A relic of prehistoric barbarism. of
times when women were regarded as
soulless beings, but one remove superior
to the brute creation, is that Salic law
which debars the fair sex all rights of
succession to most of the thrones of Eu-
rope. No one knows with any degree of
certainty the origin of this law. although
many theories and arguments have been
advanced regarding it, yet there is no law
that has been the cause of so much blood
shed and desolation throughout the last
eight hundred years.
Nearly all the historic wars that have
taken place in Europe since the davs Of
the first Crusade may be attributed to the
existence of this law, and even in the
present century sanguinary struggles
have taken place on this account. Great
Britain and Russia are the only two coun-
tries where it has never secured any foot
hold, and neither the one nor the other
has ever had any reason to regret its
sound sense in the matter, since the SOW
ereiSns who have contributed most large
ly to the glory of the country have been
women.
Spain. Portugal and Holland have with
in the last hundred years erased the law
from their statute books, and have bene-
fitted by the change, while since the reign
or MARIA Iheresa and the seven wears
war 1t exists only in a modified form in
Austria, and perhaps not at all in the
Kingdom of Hungary.
But II is still in force in Denmark IN
Sweden. in Prussia and all the other fed
eral states of the German Empire. as well
as in Belgium, Italy, Servia, Bulgaria ana
Greece, the national constitution of which
being of a more mushroom character ana
drawn up by enlightened statesmen ~
tho present century, might REASONABLY no
expected to be more up-to-date and free
from such narrow medieval preiudices
ana doctrines.
10 is precisely in the three countries
which are now ruled by women-England
Holland and Spain-that the greatest de-
gree Of peace and prosperity prevails. the
three royal widows displaying far moro
common sense, enlightened statesmanshin
and political sagacity than any OF their
brother monarchs.
Under the circumstances II must be
matter of regret that the Salc law should
debar a number of beautiful, charming
and clever princesses from succeeding 10
thrones. Thus there is the pretty Princess
Pauline of Wurtemberg now in her nine
teenth year, the only child Of the present
