THE COMING WOMAN.

Mrs. C. S. McDONALD, Editor. THB LADIHS' KRADIHO ASSOCIATION of Craw fords •file—RoomsIn Hughes' Block. Lizzie M. Boynton President. Mary 11. Campbell, Secretary.

AIIOIIT WORK.

All the world's a stage, said Shakgpeare, and in this day of radical action and radical change, the Having (seems doubly verified. But it is more than a mere cliango of tinsel and paint it is a wonderful play, growing more and more real. Every day bring* its own reform, and these reforms aro hurrying laggard feet up into truer light—into broader spheres of action.

We think that ono of the best efleets of the so called Woman's Movement is that it fills the former creatures of yel-low-backed novels, pink and white ribbons, and beaux, with a longing which can be satisfied only with work. Even women who have wealthy parents are going out from their homes to seek an independent living, and women should be fully educated to believe and to prove that work makes the woman, that workalone is life. For all Milton creates in Eve a shallow, Hilly, nonsensical, vine-clinging-to-thc-oak woman, yet he has had enough judgement to make her do something more than look at herself in the brooks and lakes of Paradise. The curse that brought with it toil, can be turned to a blessing if we muld human nature to fit it. But, when men who posess about the strength of mind that fits a grasshopper to be admitted into •second-rate insect society attempt to practice law, or butterfly women attempt to do that which they cannot do, it is not strange that they find cares multiplying, money and strength decreasing and want and premature old age breaking down their health and making life unpleasant and dreary. Every body can do something there is some work for all, but care is necessary to choose that which belongs to us. If we wore all careful in choosing this, there would be fewer loafers to wear out court house yard fences, fewer stupid faces in parlors and on street corners, and fewer passive consumers and more producers. Then let each woman, whatever men may do, prove by her actions, that she is worthy of the ballot: which will soon open to her wider fields of labor. M. II. K.

WOMA3V NITFBAGK—WHAT A I'OIXTRY (1UL THINKS OF IT.

You asked me to give. you my views of the Woman question. Shall women be allowed the right of suffrage 1 anBwer, yes and for reasons similar to those which others have given. To make the matter elear, however, let us take an illuatraton from life:

A young man may begin with five dollars in his oeket and got a good education. Let him go into a district, and apply for a school, and no matter whether they ever heard of him before or not, they employ him and pay him well. Many a man has by this very! course worked his way through college,, through a course of preparatory study,' to the bar or the sacred desk. But «ould a woman Let her try teaching as a means of educating herself and see how she will succeed. First: she must, wait till she is so old and ugly that nobody

wishes to marry her, before, people will trust their children to her care. They won!, risk sending them to be 'taught by a young girl. Second .-.she must be well reeomended. Third she must teach for nothing, or next to nothing which is thirteen and on" third dollars per month, and board.

Give a woman equal rights and equal suffrage and seo what it will do towards enabling the woman to successfully •ompoto with the man. This is a matter of justice, aside from the considerations of purity, oleganee and refinement in ttio social and political circles.

Tlio word woman, is said to be a Hebrew word, a term expressive ff the utmost tenderness and deference. If this be true then those bearing the name •ught to bo in every respect worthy of It. But how can they he? Women have been heroic, famous and good. Joan of Arc and the women of our Revolution are example* of all these. But before we have fairly entered upon the question wo are met with the argument of "woman's inferior mind." Oh Mow I would like to pitch into the man who first took the ground that a woman •ould not vote because she haa not mind •nough to understand political matters. Yes, yes, men are so much smarter than women—they hod the roins of government in their hands, and drive the whole •oncern to destruction, while she must «abmit to drift along with the tide, and •ay not a word.

B»:t thjn if a •vroman knows nothing «f governing a nation, can she bo trusted to govern a hourehold Is she capable Af raising a family boys and fitting (ftiem for voters? Wh- traiua up the Ibojs to manhood wt. teaches them ffreir first lessons who inflt, j.. «es them than the wine cup god the gaming

table? I answer, the mother. And now that mother whose patience and care through a whole lifetime have been freely bestowed on them, is denied a voice in the election of officers who are to govern her boys as men.

the death of an unmarried son, his entire estate reverts to his father. The latter may be a miserable, drunken vagabond or criminal; the mother virtuous hard working and intelligent, laboring, incessantly and living poorly to bring her children up respectably. But all this matters nothing. Whatever her son may have accumulated, on his death all his effects go to his father. Over them the mother can have no control. In the name of mercy, why not.? Should the simple fact that she is a woman and a mother, deprive her of equality before the law with her husband, the father, of children? =======
