Woman's War Against Han.


 We note with pain from time to time, woman's fickleness in great undertak- ings. Miss Kate 'Woolsey of Covington, one of Kentucky's fiery daughters, has ship in the organization known as tha Daughters of the American Revolution The dispatches of Sunday last quote Miss Woolsey as saying:
 When joined the Daughters of the American Revolution I was under the impression that the fathers of the re- public intended to include my sex as units of power in the government. I have since learned the error of such belief, and it is on this account that l sever my relations with you.
 As feel it would be a want of self respect in women to honor a fathers blood who had repudiated and disin- herited them, so I feel it Is inconsistent to society, the purpose of which is chiefly to honor the fathers of a gov ernment who have repudiated and dis inherited my sex
 This terrible arraignment does not surprise us, and it will surprise nobody who is at all familiar with the details of the slavery to which the tyrant, Man subjects Woman. It is a sad fact that there is extant such a deficient knowI- edge of this tyranny. Women them selves, with senses dulled by ages of servitude, are wont to overlook their wrongs and take a silly. eager interest in such trifling things as dresses, and babies and things. Some of them have become such slaves that they exhibit an interest in the tyrant himself. Az already stated, we are not surprised 'at the vigor of Miss Woolsey's words. But we are surprised at her action. This is no time for resigning. Tha cause needs every soldier available. Tyrant Man should not be permitted 2 base chuckle at sign of retreat in T daughter of the revolution. The spirit of liberty should be kept alive, and 1t will be kept alive, so long as daugh- ters of the revolution are still living. The charming Miss Woolsey-we can-
 
 ing, although she may not be as young as she once was-should not be per mitted to resign. However contrary it may be to her shrinking nature, it is and lead all the members thereof to . proper appreciation of their duties.
 Horrid Man must be overthrown We understand that a number of the leading club-women of Chicago have decreed that the battle with tyrant Man must go on until no men are on the earth. Men may buster or beg as they choose, but their fate is sealed. They are to be eliminated from the world. That the victory cannot be easily won, is obvious. Man cannot be abolished without a struggle. Following the in- stincts of the brute which is within him, Man will kick, and whine, and beg, and fight. The forces for his overthrow need all the recruits in sight Miss Woolsey cannot be spared.
 We take the liberty of warning Miss "OOiSty-lOF we cannot DSllSN6 lndr she will refuse call to the support Of her embattled sisters-that a stout heart, a steadfast courage, must be the motto in this campaign for Mans over throw. Let her take courage from the examples presented by the enemy. History is full of instances where Man himself has won great victories by dogged perseverance. When Man is up against a hard proposition he does not resign-he lays his ears back and keeps on fighting. To be sure, the campaign will be full of discouragements. One of the most deplorable obstacles con- nected with the campa gn for Mans extinction is found in Woman's lack of steadfastness. She will desert and go over to the side of the enemy If 1t were only possible to arouse Woman to a realizing sense of her wrongs, her power, and her duty to stand ot.r against Mans blandishments, But de- sertions should only make the loyal sisters more determined. Man can be driven utterly from the earth if the women who have pronounced for his annihilation will only persist.
