out redress, by ancient ordinances that still
obtain; and 3rd, because she is human and
CARRIED precisely with the same dignity as
man, must vindicate her humanity by re-
pudiating her old position Of rightless, su-
pine inferiority.
We women, as a sex, ask for no protec-
ton, but justice, recognizing the fact that
in justice lies woman s greatest, surest
protection, and that the progress of the
race is bound up in that, for while women
are slaves, men( being born Of them) can
not, in true sense, be kingly.
Right never yet lay in oppression; never
yet lay in depriving a great class of human
beings arbitrarily of every claim to a voice,
hearing and self-government. Surely the
odalisque is not the American mans high
est ideal Of womanhood, nor can a shack
led womanhood appeal to him as beautiful.

Imagination is the realm of curious things.
Imagination is jammed full of images.
Spirituous and spiritual application to i'm
agination produce phantasmagora, i. e., a
panorama of phenomena.
Religion paints ghosts in the mind s can
vas and whisky pigments snakes and other
horrids upon the esplanade of fancy. The
ghosts are holy and the reptiles are
demons. Conscience is sober and says:
"Beware of religion" Conscience is the
bent of good inclination. Conscience fights
only for principle, while religion fights
ever for stakes. When religion is in, con-
science is out.
Where conscience prevails religion is
powerless. Try it. Consult the Blade

CONSCIENCE VS.. RELIGION.
(By John F. Clarke.)

Conscientious people have no religion,
and religious people, by that same token,
have no conscience.
When religion comes in conscience flares
out Religion is bad oil and conscience is
good water. Neither adjectives nor nouns
will mix. Conscience does not have to
"emblem" itself in faiths, hopes nor in
charities Faiths are fakes Hopes are
bells and charities are glaciers. Conscience
gets imposed upon but does no wilful harm.
Cleopatra put an asp to her bosom for
sweet Charity's sake, the asp did the rest.
Religion, in the bosom, makes foolish
Cleopatras of all experimentors. An hon.
est bosom is no place for religion. An asp
is anti-human-so is religion. While it
agrees with tigers and hyenas in number
and person, it is beneath the brute in dig
nifty. The coyote has less conscience and
need of it by environment and is more
adapted by disposition to try religion than
anything in the air above or in the water
beneath the earth. The coyote is social as
the human is religious Sociality does not
agree with coyotes and religion makes the
human dyspeptic. It is mentally and phys
ically indigestibe The religious doctor
will tell you that to take on religion one
must have a foundation of faith. The
faith must hold on to religion as Grim
Death does to dead cat. One must shut
ones eyes to religious faults and open the
eyes to faith to see itr benefits. Believe
that you are blessed, whether or not. Be

DELHI, N. Y-On the subject of Free
thought Organization we will readily admit
that we are like many others who have not
taken the time to study out the most likely
form that would advance the cause of
Freethought on a solid foundation, but we
would willingly put our names down to
help sustain a general National organiza-
ton of that character, as far as our means
will allow. But we would apply the same
suggestions as Manly Abbott Brigham does
in regard to the various Liberal publica-
tons; and that is, if we are convinced that
Organization is worthy Of honest support,
to stand by and help keep them on their
feet. OF course, there are many objects
that appeal to our love and respect, but
perhaps limited means with many Free
thinkers will not allow them to contribute
save to some few things that are most
likely to do the most good. But while
some are trying to get a National Organi-
cation started it strikes us that one way
to get Freethought literature amongst the
people is for many readers of those pub
LEGATIONS to make out list Of names in
their community, and send to the publish
ers with enough money to cover printing
and postage, and by that means the "seed
of truth and reason" will find root in
brains that are not dominated by fools,
bigots and slaves. An active worker Of
Freethought often brings quick returns,
but it is our opinion that there are many
minds so constituted that to read publ
cation that came from the hands of a
Freethought advocate would be the means
of their being hoodooed the remainder of
their lives. But, however we work, singly
or in organized form, we must not only
try to "search out the best way to pro-
coed in the cause Of truth and right, but
to firmly hold on to the last'' NY an
swers to your questions are:-1. We do.
2. We cannot attend g. No preference,
but ought to be centrally located 4. We

When Adam ate that primeval apple, the
core stuck in his throat with the lie that
he told, and the only way to get that core
out is to taste death. "Conscience makes
towards of us all" Religionists, not hav-
ing any conscience, are brave people They
pray and wish for all the good of life, and,
by inference, for all the bad to go to the
unbelievers. This is charity. They have
faith that this charity will be handed out
by God, before prayer, and hope after
prayer. God does not care to dispel the
hope of the faithful, so he says: "Hope
on, hope ever"
Conscience demands no pay. Conscience
says: "This way, brother" and when one
goes wrong and then upbraids conscience
for speaking too low, conscience only
whispers: "You heard me, brother {"

suffer loss of manhood and goods Con-
science is a "guide, philosopher and

mendicant. A lot of money is paid for
soul nostrums and faith fakes. Big money
is paid to elevate the soul, and the eleva-
ton partakes of the essence of unseen
things Conscience will elevate one for
the asking.
Priests strive to become holy by self
celibacy. Becoming holy, is the state of
estate selfshness, so good that detestation
of bad people becomes a mania. The re-
cluse becomes enmeshed in self as the tor
toise does in its shell and is almost as
beatifcally beautiful. The tortoise Kisses
and the recluse grunts. I never could tell
which was the greater sham The tortoise
shell is an innocious monastery, which can
not be claimed of the larger monasteries
The clustered tortoise is no more a real
celibate than the clustered monk. The
cuneform letters upon the shell Of the tor
toise seem to spell clustered celibacy but
they deceitfully lie. Monks, by abstaining
from sin, or protesting to do so, claim the
right to call down people who love the
world Monks are self-set examples Of what

WHAT CONSUL GENERAL
WILDER WOULD HAVE SAID
Could Not Land to Address the Chamber So
Reaches Everybody Through the Columns
of the Advertiser.

Following is the address of Consul
General Amos p. Wilder of Shanghai
which would have been delivered to
the Chamber of Commerce but for the
Korea's quarantine:
Mr.. President and Gentlemen:-It is
a commonplace that the development nf
China is going politically and
industrially; indeed, the development
has gone Oil for centuries, until q SIM
pie and accepted government has been
achieved for four hundred millions of
people; and where shall we look for SO
large population fed from such an
area-the eighteen provinces, equal TO
the United States east of the Rockies,
yet sustaining 4G0000,000? Some have
been so fascinated by this marvel that
they have concluded Chinese civilization
is a success. Certainly we can learn
much of this people. They use reason
instead of gun powder to settle their
difficulties. 1t is impressive to read
the proclamations of the local magis-
trates, who, by definition, are the
fathers and mothers - of the people.
These documents sometimes conclude,
Fear, tremble and obey but not UNI
til the reasons are given in detail and
an appeal made to fair play and COM
mon sense. Yet it Is useless TO deny
that government in China does not at
tain ends of government, as laid down
by Confucius and all publicists. Some
progress toward better things is being
made At last in command at Picking
is a man who has been abroad,
Prince Chun, the Regent. Those who
have talked with him and with those
close to him say he is hberal-minded.
1t would be futile for him TO be radical;
undoubtedly it is the old struggle with
the conservatives of influence. The
hope is to get as much as possible. But
Picking is not all; there are forward
movements among the people, and it
was Confucius who ranked the gods
ahead of the rulers and the people ahead
of both. 1t is a mistake to think of
Picking ruling China; of late years the
tendency has been TO centralize. through
the necessities of foreign relationships;
but it is estimated eight-tenths of the
Chinese know nothing of government
except through an occasional clash with
the tax collector. The people can put
pressure on the throne at any time. and,
beginning with the coast ports, where
hundreds of thousands of Chinese at
Shanghai, Hongkong, Singapore and
elsewhere have learned efficiency. econ
omy and integrity in administration,
there is an inquiry for publicity and
il public accounting. for ex
pert service, for better protection of
