to help build up better moral gov.
ernment and show that spotless
character is just IS ne cessary fer q
man as fer woman. Even if The
gentle modest lady does get her prics-
less jswel modesty efaced by coming
out in public, sho will only the bet
ter correspond with the rest of hu.
mapity.
The writing Of this exclusionist re-
minds me of anie.belium" days, when
some persons could hardly bear to
hear negro freedom mentioned, and
when the rulers of our government
saw best to pass laws for the abolish
ment cf slavery, Offering to pay the
owners for tboir slaves, few hot
headed southern leaders sprung up
like mush rooms, determined to ha, 9
their own way, but they had no
power to withstand what justice had
decreed. The great tidal wave for
the abolishment Of slavery swept over
cur land, and what was thought to be
great sttlction or a1versify prooves
blessing in disguise.
The lady accustomed only to lux:
ury aud the service of others, who
had been taught from infancy that
labor is degrading, has proved to tie
world her strength of character. She
bows gracefully to the submission Of
The. inevitable, and spends her
time in some kind of labor or work
fer & livelihood. The command TO
labor seems intended just as mucl
for women as for msn. II is bIess-
ing 10 have health aud strength to
labor, and all honest employ meut
should be considered honorable very
where. a woman should be respected
as an equal human being (aot ex-
eactly as human being, as the print
made me say in the former i;em).
Surely the best class Of women Mt tue
ballot box is not going to create such
an a!al m that the liber.y.loving men
will want II milestone hung about
their necks and to be cast in the sea
They had better migrate TO the land
" where women are kept locked il
harems and wear very thick wells,
never showing their faces ID public.
Oae of the best laws of our libertj.
loving land is decision by majority
vote, if that vote could be obtained
honestly with reference to all business.
The question of woman's suffrage
should be Of interest to all persons.
They should feel at liberty to express

that this glorious movement OF justice

Lawyers Have I Swing.

In the early days Of September the
Democratic camp Iign Of 1900, which
promises to be as memorable as that Ct
1896, will formally open.
There are some remarkable coinci-
dences in connection with the personnel
Of the twelve Democratic electors in
Virginia. They are all lawyers
with one single exception that OF Mr..
Whitehead, of Norfolk All save
two have seen service in the Gen.
eral Assembly of Virginia. seven
Of them being members Of the present
Legislature, and three having served in
former bodies
Four of the eleven, who are lawyers,
are at present serving as attorneys for
the Commonwealth.
1t is looked upon as further coin
cidence that the two electors at.large
are not only both members Of the Nir'
ginia Senate, but are two leading can
didates for the Democratic nomination
for Attorney General next year They
are Judge William H. Mann, of Notta-
way, and Senator J. L. Jeffries, of
Oulpeper.
Besides the two electors at-large, there
are ten others in the State, whose spec
ial duty is to canvass the several
counties and cities embraced in their
respective congressional districts. These
twelve Democrats, If chosen at the
polls, will constitute the electoral col
lege Of Virginia. and will meet some
time in December next and cast the en-
tire vote of the State for the Democratic
nominees for President and Vice-Presi'
