A BAD LOSER.

Why Men Are Not Willing To Give Women the Vote. •v Now that woman’s suffrage has been decisively beaten In the 4 most important eastern states—New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Massa-chusetts—-the advocates of woman’s suffrage might ask themselves a few simple questions. Do they really want equality? There Is not a broker in Wall street who does not dread women customers. They do not want equal treatment. They want all that men get, and an extra concession for sex. They aro the worst losers in the world, and they seem incapable of gratitude when they win. Many brokerage houses refuse to lake women’s business, except on an absolutely investment basis, and this preferably through some male lawyer or trustee. This is one of the lessons which never seems to have impressed Itself upon the woman who is crying for the vote, without understanding what it means, or what its usefulness may be, or why women in the aggregate can achieve reforms of defects inherent in human nature which men have failed to achieve. There is an underlying reason wthy

men have declined to grant the fran-r chise to women. It is that, takea in the aggregate, their sense of honor and fair play is different from that of men. It is not true that all women cheat at cards, but it is true that few men care to play cards for money with a woman. At the best, she is a bad loser. It w’ill be at least four years before the question of suffrage can be reintroduced in New York state, lluring that time it would be wise for tihe suffragists to cease abusing the nven, and to look into themselves to find whether there is not some radical defect which must be corrected before the male voter can be convinced that the Millenium is to be attained, not by weeding out the voting list, which already includes a large amount of ignorance f-ut by doubling its nmnbi'i These ladies then perhaps will realize that tihe educated suffragist represents only a minute portion of the possible women votes, and that if once granted the.vote, they could be voted, en bloc, with far greater facility than Tammany Hall can handle its male following now.— Wall Street Journal.
