Where Women Ruled.

The native women of Hawaii have
always been prominent in affairs of
state, in latter days being limited by
circumstances to private influence,
public harangues, writing for the
newspapers or lobbying, and this be-
ing confined to a limited number. In
ancient days rank of nobility de-
scended from the mother, and the
characters of many chieftainesses
shine out as beacon lights in the his
tory of this interesting people. Dur
ing the monarchy women held most
responsible positions, especially un-
der the earlier kings, as regents and
premiers, and for some years, and un-
til very lately, a woman versed in
Hawaiian customs presided as Judge
(and a. most dignified judge) of the
court Of private ways and water rights.
What attitude the Hawaiian women,
as a whole would take on the equal
suffrage question cannot be determin.
ed except by vote, but l think it fair
to presume that they would favor it
