Later Aspects of Woman Suffrage.

Little, if anything, now oan be said on either side, only as the movement takes to itself some new phases or now phrases that need to be met But against the argument of expectation, the constant claim that if or when women are allowed to vote the political atmosphere will be clearer, the corruption in politics will be done away with, and the best social and moral interests advanced—in answer to this argument of expectation stands the argument of experience, the statement of results whore woman suffrage has been tried, the fact that it has not appealed to the women of the soundest, the safest, the most substantial character and position. And the argument of experience is strong, uniform and pronounced against giving women the privilege of voting. If the movement does not die out of itself, if it is not broken up by the avowed “dissensions, divisions and jealousies” within it, it is sure to be scotched and killed by its own outcome and results.—Right Rev. William Croswell Doane, Bishop of Albany, in North American Reviow.
