ACT DIRECTLY ON THE

In reply to a lady in Virginia
who wrote for her opinion on tlie
’subject of woman suffrage, Mrs.
Jefferson Davis says:
“I prdfer privileges to rights
and cannot see in what manner tlie
suffrage -repaid* bonoijt - our sex.
Certainly there is a great element
of danger in the introduction into
the family circle of a new sub-
ject of diecord, op one so
grave as a political' difference
would soon become. It is every
woman’s duly to qualify her-
eelf to teaoh her children their
righto under the constitution and
urge their unialtoring maintenance
of them as a paramount' duty to
the next generation. Every wo-
man, with few exceptions,*, weiild
thus be potential in moulding the
future policy of parties. Aud if
she performs Urfs duty faithfully
and intelligently she will have uo
time to canvass the beats of her
precinct or for any other election-
eering effort.
“It has beeu urged that wotneu
without proteotors and holding
property ure taxed without repre-
sentation. This is certainly fin in-
fringement of their rights, yet it is
very difficult to fix up plan of
discrimination between them and
those who have’male voters to pro,
tect their rights and property. It
is a subject on which 1 have
thought without arriving at any
satisfactory conclusion. Would it
not seem that when a woman ap-
propriates the rights of a man she
should also assume bis duties?
Could she defend the polls or
country by -force of arms? would
she consider herself a subject for
lmprcssmeut? Neither physically
or mentally, are we fitted for such
contests.

so old that she ceases to enjoy the
which has given us the best ^unr-
ican wifehood; which has given
oompany pf oThers, and generally helpmates to the formaoet Ameri

see a man fall into a state which
he explains by saying: “Oh,
we are getting old, and don’t care
for so much variety in our lives."
In the pure unselfishness of his
soul ha always speaks of “us” and
“we,” as if it naturally follows,
that because, be is getting anti-
quated bis wife must keep pace
with him in his decline. Men all
too often make their wives too old.
It is a greater credit to a husband
to keep his wife young, than to'
make her grow old. His actions
and his habits necessarily influ-
once those of his wife. Let him

[From Harper’s Rasar)
It was a famous saying of Lord
Biougham, though attributed by
liffn to1 somebody else unknown,
that it was the whole end of king,
lords and .commons, and of the
whole machinery of the State; to
bring twelve good men together
in a jury box, Iu a aimilar way'it
was once said by an experienced
American lawyer that the most im-
portant resqjt of the great recent
changes in the position of «f wo/
men — pew laws, new educatrnff.
new professions—would be found
iu the crontion of a raee of business
women who would look after their
own money matters instead of
trusting thsm utterly to mem
It is inevibablu that this result
must in soms degree - follow.
Whether it is pretty or otherwise,
graceful or otherwise, a race of
business women is upon ms. For,
observe that it is not needful that
each individual woman should do
a!! these things in pcinon, <*, “in-

ded woman stjll feels the effect of

Woman Suffrage.
|From the Nashville American. |
Is woman suffrage coming? It
begins to loek^o. Ont in Kansas
in a recent election women haviug
the right to vote, did. vote. They
went early to the polls with the
balance of political power aud
staid late. Not merely a handful!
but -Dfi per eeut of the registered
female voters. '•This instance is
bound to exert an influence, and
a.chances are that Kansas will
ery soon be followed by many
tber States. Oncd the thing
akes an actual turu and opposf-
tion to woman suffrage will not
have a foot of earth to stand upon.
Down in this country where it is
our pride nnd boast that our wom-
en are too good for such duties,
there is at yet no agitation. But
woman’s sphere has of late been
greatly enlarged She is a part
pa-icel of our commercialgndas-
trinl and our scientific as woll as
our social world. She has come
to be a bread winner aud with it a
tax payer. Sho us a factor in civi-
lization’s development and a for-
mulative, creative, aud executive
entity in our political economics.
Heretofore, except sporadically,
■he has net wanted suffrage. If,
however, her iders aro changed,
and she calls for the right to make
laws end assist in filling the offices,
there is no doubt that she will be
accorded every opportunity. The-
oretically it is a right to which
she, as property owner and a sup-
porter of public institutions, is eiu
titled. Practically and sentimen-
tally her sphere is higher and no-
bler. The American can not go
on record as advocating woman
suffrage, but is bound to admit
that the tendency of the times and
incidental conditions aie growing
more aad more favorable thereto.
