DR.. Abbott on the Family.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: DR.. Ly-
man Abbott, in his recent article in the
Atlantic against equal rights for women,
expresses the opinion that the majority of
women will neither be forced nor enticed''
out of their present state of disfranchise-
ment. He would do well not to be too
sure. The majority of women are still
Indifferent on the question, but the number
who desire the ballot is growing and grow
ing fast. The first woman suffrage petit
ton presented to the British Parliament in
1869 was signed by only !, 499 women; tie
petition of 1878 by II 600 women, and the
petition presented to the members of the
recent Parliament was signed by 257 600
women.
From Australia where women were
lately granted full national suffrage, the
news has just come that their registration
exceeds all expectation, more than $4,000
having placed their names on the electoral
roll. When the women of New Zealand
were given full suffrage in 1893, the esti-
mated number of adult women in the col
ony was 139,915. OF these 1896 regis
tered to vote. In Wyoming, the Secretary
of State reports that 80 per cent. of the
women vote. In Colorado, the Legislature
has declared, with only one dissenting vote
in the Senate and three in the House, that
since equal suffrage was granted, the wo-
men have exercised it as generally as the
men," Yet in all these places it had been
vehemently asserted beforehand that the
majority of women did not want to vote
Probably they did not, until they got the
chance; but when they had it, they soon
found that they wanted to use it. History
repeats itself; and what has happened in
England and New Zealand and Australia
may reasonably be expected to happen
here. DIR. Abbott may as well make up
his mind to the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. STONE
BLACKWELL.

want to know it, and shall want to meet
you, so that we can arrange some way to
prevent our ever meeting in battle. Let
us never run the risk of in urinS each
other. If it be possible I shall send you
some word. but now | can do no more than
tell you that my place is usually with
the LIST Va. Cav. though frequently l
ain called on to serve Gen. Stuart, and in
many ways. l shall not say TO your friends
that you are my brother; it could do no
good, so far as l can see. When you re-
cover. then decide for yourself whether you
shall tell anything. l know that enough
has been said before you to enable you to
understand our real relations. and our

that my hand shall never be against

against us-you simply couldn't help il.
And l know that you give me credit for
serving with equal honesty against you.
Good-by." The Confederate bent down
and kissed the wounded man.
An hour later the ambulance. under its
escort, was moving slowly toward Aide.
while Daniel Morgan, with old Squire.
was riding fast in n northeasterly direc-
ton. to overtake his friends and with them
seek Stuart.

Conference Committees to be made up of
equal number of G. 4. X. comrades and
Sons be appointed to, devise ways and
means to bring the two organizations

ment at least 10 days before such En-

place it in any Camp of the Division

members present and voting.
AT BOSTON NEXT YEAR.
The Encampment decided to meet next
year at Boston, an invitation having been
received from the Governor of MasSachu-
sets and the Mayor of Boston. Invita-

city and the President of Louisiana Pur-

He graduated from the Bryant & StrattOn

Der and Captain of Maj. James +. DeWolf

SERVICE PENSION.
Views Of Posts and Individuals on This
Important Measure.
THE AGE LIMITATION.

John N. Smith, LIST Del. Moore, Pa,
protests against the limitation of 81 in
The proposed pension bill. Why should
aga enter into the matter! If boys of IL
or IL counted in the ranks why should
they not count now for 4 pension? Let
there be no age limitation" Those who
are now over 81 up to 90 would make a
small percentage of the total, and should
not be made to wait. He enlisted when
he was about Is years old. carried as big
Il load, ate as much S. Il. and did as hard
service as the older ones, reenlisting as a
veteran and serving until 1865. four years,
less two months. He was an Orderly on
the staff of Gen. Thomas X. Smythe, who
was killed in the last battle fought-that
of Farmville, a few days before Apo
mattOx. Let there be solid front on the
pension question.
a. +. McGoffin, Sergeant-Major, S9th
Ohio, Lyons, Kan, strongly favors a SER
vice pension of So month for all who
| served 80 days or more, and the same to
| their widows. He knows many widows
who are past the wage-earning period,
and are wholly dependent upon their PEN
| sion, and So month is too little for them.
II soldier dies, he dies, and that is all
! there is to it, and his widow is entitled
| to the generous consideration of the Gov
| eminent.
The list Regiment, John A. Logan. Army
of Georgia, U. V. u, Fitzgerald. Ga,
unanimously indorses The National Tri-
bune service pension bill.
Reynolds Post. Cawker City, Kan, at
its regular meeting Endorsed the service pen
sion bill unanimously, and requested Sen
ators Burton and Long and Representa-
tive w. A. Reeder to use their very best
energies and efforts to secure its enact
ment at the next session.
At its regular meeting, Sept. 5. S. Dex-
ter Williams Post, Paynesvile, o., unani-
mously passed resolution indorsing The
National Tribune pension bill.
At its regular meeting G. w. Chadwick
Post, Sauquoit, n. Y, Endorsed The Ma
| tional Tribune's service pension bill, and
| instructed the Adiutant to notify their
Representative in Congress and ask him
to support the bill.
Joseph Sylvia Pine, Of Provincetown,
Mass, says that he served in the Navy
from 1861 until discharged in 1860, and
it seems to him unjust that he should
be denied a pension for three years to
come, because he will not be 62 until that
