personal devil, he shows himself to
be out of sympathy with this great
question Of equal rights.
The brethren have made for them
selves unenviable fame, and their atti-
tude toward women who are trying to
ameliorate the SORROWS of humanity will
not, l dare affirm, be quoted by their
descendants, but will be consigned by
them, and, let us hope, by the women
who will then be invested with all the
powers and dignities Of citizenship in
church and state, to charitable obliv-
ion. / do not say that these are not
good men, but they are certainly whim-
sical and grotesque i'll their attitude to-
ward one of the greatest reforms Of
their time. Nor will those other good
men who are doing their best to prevent
the admission of women to the counsels
of different branches of the church of
Christ desire to have this fact empha-
sized when their post mortem eulogies
are written. 1t is the i'll fortune of some
men and women in every epoch of ad
vance to find their emblem in the bowl
der on the track rather than the arrowy
current of the refreshing, forward rush
ing stream of that public sentiment
which is the final factor i'll all those rev.
olutions by which humanity comes
nearer to good will and God. The sui
tan and the czar may order the words
"liberty, equality, fraternity, eliminat-
ed from all published documents with
in the area Of the autocracy they repre-
sent, but the fatuous prohibitions Of
despots, whether on large or small
scale, are but another form of personal
death warrant autobiographically given.
Readers of Benjamin Kidd's ''Social
Evolution" must have been often struck
by the phrase equality Of opportunity" "
In these words is the quintessence of q
high and noble socialism, for at the
bottom of all our social discomfort it is
not a quarrel with parentage, birth and
gifts of nature that disturbs us, nor even
so much with environments as with that
maladjustment of opportunity which we
feel instinctiyely is not natural, but
comes of human meddling with nature
and utter disregard of God S place i'll the
world he has made.
And the present social perturbations
and scarcely suppressed upheavals-what
are they but attempts to bring about not
equality III wealth, equality i'll position,
but equality in opportunity for every
human creature? The mode of attempt
may not always be wise or well adapted
to the end sought, but the end and aim
are good. 1t is this aim to secure equal
ity of opportunity that has given such
impetus to the cause of public education
during the last few years, for it recog-
nizes in all classes Of society that no
power raises man so quickly to the
level of the world s best accomplishment

New York, who was elected without
instructions, but counted for Morton,
has issued the following statement:

of the hour is prompt and hearty re-
cognition of the great ma iority senti-

nominate Mckinley by acclamation.

port while reasonable chance of his
nomination existed, | shall now heed
the general desire of the business men
in my section and vote for Major Nc
kinley on the first ballot. The seces-

caused no little comment in republican

EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY.
Why Should Not All Be Treated Alike Po

believe that the ministers of the
United States have done more than any
other one class to hasten the progress of
the woman movement. | know that
many of our reformers hold contrary
view, and perhaps / am not an impair
tial witness, as | come of long line of
ministers and my only brother was a
member of that guild, but we must not
forget that the woman question can on
ly prosper in time of peace, and that as
q class the Christian ministry has, more
than any other, proclaimed peace on
earth and good will to men. The teach
ings of the pulpit have inculcated those
principles under which women can be
coworkers with men in every line of
life. 1t is only under the influence Of
the principles of Christ that the inhab-
itants of nation become sufficiently CO.
ordinated in their attitude toward gov
ernment and commerce, literature and
labor, art and life, to appreciate the
characters and qualities of women as
coworkers in all the enterprises by
which men forge forward toward better

well nigh determining factor in the
boards Of trustees of those higher edu
cational institutions to which we have
been admitted, and without such edu
cation we could never have held our
own i'll the comradeship of good work
now SO largely recognized among men
and women. All my life | have found
more encouragement and help from
Christian ministers than from any other
class of men, and believe that the ma
jority of our reformers would bear the
same testimony. As rule the pulpits of
all churches, except those in which
sacerdotalism forbids, have been opened
to us. When went to the south, it was,
as n rule, ministers and their wives who
formed the bone and sinew of the early,
as they do Of the later, temperance
movement, and as they do of every other
reform, because they are the represent
atives Of the Divine Reformer.
These facts furnish IL background be-
fore which few ministers have dis
ported themselves i'll an unenviable
light-for instance, when an excellent
bishop says to class of ''sweet girl
| graduates" that when women vote they
will sell their ballots as they now sell
themselves. When the gifted DR.. -

THE class in zoology at Cornell the
other day was studying the brains of
rays or skates. Some of the students
1uade hasty drawings and seemed to
think that nothing more was to oe done.
Instead of trying to convince them of
their error Prof. Wilder remarked that
in the summer of 1867 he had sat at the
table of the late Prof. Louis Agassil
while the latter pored for hours over
just such a brain, which he had exposed
with knife given him by the poet
Iongfellow.
