Woman's Suffrage in Colorado.

The New York Sun gives a prominen
space to an article on "Woman's Stuff
rage in Colorado which does not seen
overdraWn or inspired by prejudice, fol
the Colorado papers themselves have
given glimpses of the same state of af.
fairs. The article does not go into thu
right or the wrong of the question, fol
in that the opponents of woman's suff.
rage have the weaker end of the uues-
ton, but 1T demonstrates that the effect
OF woman on politics and politics on
woman are unsatisfactory in the former
case and unlovely and on
the other hand. The Sun says:
"Woman's suffrage was the feature of
the campaign in Colorado" said a man
who spent considerable time in that
state prior to the election. "You had it
there in all it's glory-or lack of glory.

who believe in a woman making herself
conspicuous and in casting her political
lot with men to the very letter, would

pose. Nobody who admires gentleness.
refinement, modesty and the other
traits long held to be the chief charm
or womanhood could have approved it.
Colorado's oma politicians of both
parties are upon precisely the same
plane as the men. The women Repub-
licans and the women Democrats alike
had their headquarters at a prominent
hotel. where their leaders were ALWAYS
on view. Women crowded the hotel cor
rldors, talking it over-sometimes with |
each other, more often with men. They
mad a hand in all the political meet

speeches n they stumped the state
just as the men were doing. To an
ea~sterner, unused to such things, the
was nothing short of startling.
1t is nothing against a woman. of

WORKING FOR STATEHOOD.
Previous Efforts Of This Territory to b
Admitted as a State.

~ IL bSCl VI IoN IIO ltSS lIldI
ten favorable reports from congression-
al committees for the admission of New
Mexico as a state, and several times the
bill has passed one branch, but not the
other, during the same congress.
California was admitted to statehood
in 1850, Henry Clay, reporting on the
applications of California and New
Mexico, said:
Prior to their transfer to the United
States both formed a part of Mexico,
where they stood in equal relations to
the government of that republic. They
were both coded to the United States
by the same treaty; and in the same
article of that treaty the United States
of America engaged to protect and gov
ern them both. Common in their orr
gin, common in alienation from one
foreign government to another; COM
mon in their want of good govern
ment and conterminous in some of
their boundaries, and alike in many
particulars in physical condition, they
have nearly everything in common, in
the relation in which they stand to the
rest of the Union"
In 1850 the people of New Mexico or
ganized a constitutional convention.
The constitution framed was ratified
almost unanimously when submitted.
The senators and representatives were
elected and sent on to Washington.
They confidently expected admission as
a state, but the petition was denied.
That was forty-six years ago.
President Zachary Taylor, in speak
ing of the right of New Mexico to state
hood, said:
Il did not hesitate to express to the
people of these territories, acquired
from Mexico, my desire hat each ter
ritory, If prepared to comply with the
requirements of the constitution of the
United States, form a state constitu-
ton and submit the same to congress
with a prayer for admission into the
Union of states"
In the session Of congress of 1860 81.
when compromises to conciliate the
slave states We're under consideration,
one of the conditions of the south was
the immediate admission of New Mex
leo as a slave state. The compromise |
fell through.
In 1871 New Mexico had another con- |
convention. In 1876 the bill
for admission of New Mexico passed
both branches of congress by a more
two-thirds vote, but the senate
made some slight alterations in the bill
as it came from the house, and it did
not reach the president.
Eight years ago New Mexico was put
nto the same general bill which admit
ed the Dakotas, Montana and Wash
ngton. The bill passed, but in the con-
.erence between senate and house over
amendments New Mexico was
iropped out. Fifteen states have come
INTO the Union since the New Mexicans
ramed a constitution and elected sena-
ors and a representative. And still
Jew Mexico waits, her prospects in
ongress having been sadly damaged
y the course of the silver senators.
Thomas H. Benton used to say that
hen there were 10000 able-bodied men
the territory willing to take upon
the burden of statehood, the
ought to be admitted.

continued the man. IT don't say thai
politics is above reproach in all other
states, and neither do l say that women
are wholly responsible for the political
corruption in Colorado. But when the
state in which women have fullest po-
litical swing is so VIGOROUSLY corrupt,
it is impossible not to draw certain in
ferences. The kind of women that have
been doing the voting for both parties
since the woman's suffrage was first es-
tablished in 1894 strengthens this infer
ence. After the first novelty wore off,
very few of the best women in Denver
best in every sense, social, intellect
ual and moral-went near the polls. In
quantity as well as quality the wo-
mans vote has steadily decreased. This
year more women voted than have done
so since that first year--lS94-but that
was due to general reasons rather than
to particular ines. It's a mere ques-
ton of time, in my mind, until the Col
orado law granting suffrage to women
is repealed. Public opinion is against
it, and from what l saw of it while I
was in Denver, public opinion is in the
right"
That is one side of the question. The
other is that women have a moral right
to the suffrage unless we place them on
the same plane with the minors, imbe-
Giles and-residents of a territory who
have the franchise in part only. The
point is whether it is advisable to give
women he franchise when the majority
of them do not want it, nor care for it,
when 1t helps neither them nor any one
else and when in some cases, where it
a been given a trial, it is harmful to
woman as well as to political condi-
tiOnS.

In examining election returns from
the various counties in the territory, IL
is becoming very apparent that the vo-
ters are quite alive to the personal
worth and standing of candidates. The
day Is passing In New Mexico, when
improper and undesirable men can be
placed on county or legislative tickets
with the assurance Of election. This is
as 1t should be. Both great political
parties should make 1t a point to place
none but desirable and good men as
candidates for office on their party tic
kets.
