women Opposed to Suffrage.
Among the more distinguished antagon-
lists to woman's suffrage are the novelist,
Mrs. Humphry Ward and her less-known
husband. The latter. writing recently in
the London Times on the subject, said:
AFTER sixty years a~gitation-for the
movement is generally dated in America
from the meeting held in New York in
July, 1s4s-the w-oman-suffrage demand,
which during the second third Of the nine
teenth century was active throughout the
states and succeeded in forcing a consti-
tutional amendment In favor Of the wo-
mems vote IN four Of the sparsely peopled
states OF the west, is now in process of de-
feat and extinction-and that not at the
hands Of men, but at the hands Of women
themselves"
Since 1896, indeed. In five states the surf
frage constitutional amendments have been
defeated at the polls, and in 1903 the leg
islatures of thirteen states rejected woman
suffrage bills of one type or another.
School suffrage has been secured for
women in twenty-five states. but the strik-
ing thing is that the suffrage agitation
and the ''unwtse pressure brought TO bear
on legislatures and public officials have
hindered the natural progress Of women
in this field OF work SO well suited to
them. In two states-Connecticut and Ohio
the abolition Of the school suffrage has
actually been discussed Sc~hool-suffrage
votes have been defeated in five states
In the last three years, and a bill ere
curing that at least one-third Of the
II embers of Boards of Education appointed
by mayors should be women defeated in
New York in 1889" This melancholy re-
sult-from IN English point of view-seems
to be mainly due to the general disap-
prevail and opposition which the woman
suffrage movements has excited; so that we
have even the untoward fact that at the
present moment there is no woman upon
either the New York or the Boston Board
OF Education. The movement has not
only failed; it has checked the legitimate
development of women's influence in the
spheres which most truly belong to them.
