WOMEN AND sUFFRAGiSTS.

In the state of New York battle
Proyal is being waged ever the question
Eof votes for women, and the state
Legislature in session, at Albany, has
other troubles besides the investiga-
ton of corruption among certain of
its members; for the women, we'll or
ganized and not lacking the support
of prominent men in their contention,
are overwhelming the solons with ar
guments for the right of suffrage. This
week saw notable hearing before a
joint judiciary committee given to the
women interested in bill, the pur-
pose of which is to remove the word
male" from New York suffrage quail
Ifications. And while 1t is practically
determined that the women of New
York. at least those who wish votes,
will not succeed in their aims, never
theless the remarkable showing which
they are making has served to focus
more than usual attention upon their
work.
Unlike their fair sisters of England,
the New York suffragists do not re-
sort to militant measures in their
campaign for votes. They do not have
to so to Jail, and be forced to swallow
liquid nolrishment forced between
their teeth and down their threats
! with some Instrument; neither do they
attempt to kidnap Governor Hughes.
or throw bad eggs into the midst Of
| banquet assemhlages; but their eff
forts, directed TO the realization of
! ballot privileges for women, smack of
systematic preparation and perform
ance.
But unfortunately, perhaps, for the
cause of the women. but fortunately
for the sisterhoCd of womankind, they
are not supported by all of their sis
ters in New York state. Arrayed
against the suffragists are well organ
lied and powerful clubs of anti-sIf-
fragists who combat the advanced
, views of the ballot-seeking danes
