THE COMING WOMAN.

Mrs. C. S. McDONALD, Editor.

MEN VS WOMEN AS OIM»ONi:i TO WOMAN SllTBA«i:. Wc have received several articles of late, from correspondents of the COMING WOMAN, which wc have been compelled to lay aside, because they were too severe in their rcllectioiis upon men. We should like to have it distinctly understood that wc arc not carrying on a warfare with men. In the first placc if we were disposed to do so, it would be very impolitic, as all wo ask for in the names of Justice and Liberty, must come as a gift from the hands of men. Secondly, it would" be doing them great injustice, for we believe that the majority of men arc more favorably disposed toward this movement than women arc. Almost daily men tell us, "As soon as women want the ballot they can have itand although we know that it does not look like the most magnanimous thing in the world for them to thrust the ballot upon the negro, who had not asked for it, and compel their own wives and mothers to beg for it like slaves, still, wc know that the laws which arc most seriously to our disadvantage, were really framed in all kindness of heart, by noble minded men, who believed them to be for our benefit. And believing this, wc do not propose to enter upon a crusade for the persecution of men. Woman Suit'ragc is but a link in the grand chain of Progress. In God's good time wc shall reach it. It is right and will prevail. It is a matter in which men and women are equally interested, and wc ask their equal co-operation, knowing, however, that the largest part of done in this great moral struggle is

But the men were not alone in the rude cabins, not alone with the famine and the Border Rufliau fights. Brave and intelligent women were with them, holding up the hands of husbands and sons, nerving the hearts of Free State men, and shaming the minions of slavery, stanching the blood of loyal freemen, and spilling the blood of disloyal slaveholders. And the men are not alone in the fruit time and harvest. Having shared the famine, the women now share the plenty. All having fought to establish freedom, all now enjoy it. In the constitution of no State are the righLs of women more liberally interpreted and more clearly provided for than in Kansas. Among other provisions touching the subject, the instrument declares that, "The Legislature in providing for the forma tion and regulation of schools shall make no distinction between the rights of males and females."

In accordance with the spirit of this declaration, the Legislature at its first session, in 1861, passed a law making all female persons over the age of 21 years, subject only to the exceptions which apply to males, legal voters at all school district meetings. The women have "voted ever since. There having been some question, however, whether they are entitled to vote

at

elections held for

the purpose of voting bonds for the erection of school houses and for other special purposes, the Legislature of 1868 pronounced, by law, emphatically/that women are entitled to vote at all such elections. Not

only do women vote at school meetings, but they arc voted for as school directors and, so Kansas witnesses each year the voting of husbands for or against their wives. Certain men in nearly every district deplore the alacrity with which the women vote taxes for building new school houses, for buying outline maps and other apparatus, and for painting, fencing and planting shade trees in the school yards, etc. The teachers and the children bless the women for these things, and the world is the better for their extravagance.

TXIK Avenger will make its appearance during the month of Januaiy. This is ollicial.

Miss MAKY E. CUMBERLAND, of our city, has been elected Secretary of the Indianapolis Woman Suffrage Association.

So large is the circulation of the New York Independent that the paper on which it is printed costs over $120,000 per year.

Miss LIZZIE M. BOYNTON has returned from the National Convention at Clevelend. She lectured two successive evenings in Toledo, Ohio, durinsr her absence.

THE Tennessee Legislature was startled the other day by a proposi tion to enfranchise the women of that State. An ineffectual attempt to lay the motion on the table was followed br a reference to a select committee. These little straws show which way the wind blows.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE has achieved a substantial triumph in Wyoming. The Council of that Territory, on

the work to be Tucsdaty, passed the Woman Suffrage Bill almost unanimous^. Women

with the women who have "all the arc scarce in Wyoming and the porights they want.''

WOMEN ARE VOTEKS.

It was an ugly contest, long con•'•tinned and vindictively urged, through which Kansas passed, before it was fairly decided that men should forever be free and equal throughout her borders. Sickness, scanty fare, anxiety, hardships without number, ghastly wounds, graves of little children, lives of brave men and women, these were the price paid for Freedom. The spelling book and Bible were chosen symbols of the new civilization now begun on the fertile plains of the Central State, and both were to be free as the common air.

2."i'ave and reverend legislators

of that State desire to encourage immigration.

THE members of the Ladies" Reading Association, assisted by the Lyceum Society, of Wabash College, will give an entertainment in a few weeks, for the mutual benefit of both Societies. Something better than usual is expccted this time as the parties litre had ample time for preparation. In the name of the L. R. A. we are requested to return thanks to Mr. C. W. p]ltzroth, for the kind offer of his hall for two evenings..

THROUGH the kindness of the publishers we have had laid upon our table to-da}' the November and December numbers of the little Corporal, a monthly magazine for children, which wc find filled with the best of literature for young folks and "children of a larger growth." As an evidence of the Little Corporal's popularity, we have only to say that his subscription list numbers 90,000, and his "Guard" is Alfred L. Sewell & Co., Chicago, Ills. Terms 81.

IHE editor of the New York Independent in his jubilant birthday editorial, of Dec. 2, says the following, which ought to be a sufficient inducement for all liberal minded woman's rights people, who are not already such, to become subscribers:

Another peculiarity of this journal to which we allude is one which its iwiders must long ago have noticed, namely, the equal number of men and women who write for its columns. Literature no longer rightfully belongs to man alone woman claims a just and equal share in it. In conducting The Independent, we recognize this claim. The contributions of women are oftentimes the brightest gems that glitter in these pages. The Tribune, with great advantage to itself, has added women to its reportorial and also to its editorial staff. Let us claim for The Independent (since we must boast a little on this boastful anniversary) the proud privilege of making this practice a signal, perpetual, and intentional feature of our editorial policy. Sooner or later the whole press, both of America and England, will adopt this wholesome fashion.

BEST CABINET ORGANS

THAN

the Mason & Hamlin Cabinet and 3Ietropolitan Organs are the best in the world is proved by the almost unanimous opinion of professional musicians, by the award to them of seventy-live gold" and silver medals or other highest premiums, at principal industral competitions within a few years, including the medal at the Paris Exposition, and by a sale very much greater than that of any similar "instruments. This company manufactures only first class instruments, and will not make "cheap organs" at any price, or suffer an inferior instrument to bear their name. Having greatly increased their facilities for manufacture, by the introduction*-of new machinery and otherwise, they are now making better organs than ever before, at increased economy in cost, which, in accordance with their fixed policy of soiling always at least remunerative "profit, tiny are now aiering at prices of inferior vork". Four Octavo Organs, Plain Walnut Case, $50. Five Octavo Organs, Double Reed, Solid Walnut Case, carved and paneled, with five Stops (Viola, Diapason, Melodia, Flute, Tremulant), §125.
