KANSAS AND FEMALE SUFFRAGE AGAIN.
A number of cranks and beats from their homes
in eastern states where they have no influence nor
ever cut any swaths are now holding forth in Kansas
in an effort to force the issue of female suffrage
upon the people Of this state Among them is the
husband or relic of Lucy Stone. He and his petit
coated combine raded Kansas about thrty-six years
ago Periodically they have been drifting in on the
same mission ever since Of course they take Kan
sas people for chumps. Because we have expert
mented with about all the politicalisms and moral
reforms ever offered, these sefconstituted regener
ators, who have no influence where they are best
known presume that Kansas can be bonbilated into
any kind Of absurdity to the injection of poti
cal dissentions into her homes. Kansas is not with
out experience with the kind of women who essay
the role of the boss in breeches. and their example
has not proved particularly encouraging. We might
cite Mrs. Molle Lease and Mrs. Carrie Nation
Neither Of these spring chickens but they failed
to hold their homes intact while regulating the
moral and political situations. The who is
tied to woman with an ambition for public life
is up against tough proposition. He is sure to
emerge from the scrimmage sadly done up rooster
crow nor looks are likely to prove attractive. What
that old second-fddle and floating direlect, Lucy
Stones relic and Mrs Gait combined. expect to
complish in Kansas only surmise from the
gist Of their speeches. They say that they have
q burning desire and that said burning desire is to
rescue the women of Kansas from bondage. We
doubt the burning desire and also the bondage

own home states they do not deem wise TO explain
The hand that rocks the CRADLE may set the world
10 lettering but it can't turn the old thing upside
down, nor inside out did a Kansas zephyr
Gene Wares brass-eyed purp The woman who
aspires to rock the CRADLE and rock the world in
one time and two motions will discover that either
there is no baby in the cradle that the world is
not standing in need of any rocking. Neither the
men or the women who are bent rocking the
world amount to much when it comes to having
babies. which ourlreaders no doubt have very gen
orally noted.
That old boiLafiicted philosopher, of the land
of Uz tells US, in holy writ that man born Of
woman is Of few days and full Of trouble" while
we all remember that the only not born
was lead astray by woman, who got to talking
politics and of a wider knowledge. Adam was all
right with the earth and stood good show for
heaven until he got to discussing public concerns
with his reformed rib who was inspired by the
devil to demand equality Woman came after man,
she has been after him since, some other
than Job remarked That's but natural and to be
endured in a manly way, if not in a subdued spirit.
ates the superiority of the average Kansas woman
very tired to be periodically harrangued by lot of
perepetetic tramps who don't amount to even
temptation.
