[For the Wontax‘s STANDARD]
The Eternal Symphony.

Do we answer true when the Master calls
For a strain of music sweet.

Listening mute till the cadence, falls,
And giving rcspmtse complete?

Or do we each in a soltlsh way
Insist that our tones he heard

Even should in them discord play
And never a glad note stirred.

DO we watch for light in the Master's face
As He marks the golden time?

New fast, now slow, with a tender grace
As the music grows sublime.

While some are silent with unshcd tears.
0h. faint not. thou saintly heart!
hough the way is harm—in the later years
‘hou shalt have the better part.

upon the bench that interprets itslaws.

The reason for these assertions
found in the fact that the church has%
for centuries dominated, and does now, 3
to a very great; extent dominate the.
state. The doctrines of the church are.
easily infused into the people and;
through the people into the state and‘
its laws. ()n the contrary, no idea in;
violation of the tenets, doctrines or be-
liefs of the church can be ingrat'ted :
into the laws of the state. An attempt;
on the part of the state to reform the}
church or discard its dogmas, always}
has and always will be received withl,
violent opposition if not with rebel-é
lion.

The petitions of women to our legis-

Opinion that Mississippi is the most ad-

eighteen years a woman has held the office

electors. One of its supreme Judges is an
open friend to the cause and says women

constitutional right to citizens‘s suiiragc.
Almost all our public men are woman suff-

that there are no sex lines in the public ed-

the state supports one white girls' college
and two colored colleges which are co-

Would men in e taxed
to the full extent of the law yet re-
fused this right of citizenship“?

Nay! They’d rebel to a man, and
they know they would, whatever they
say about being satisfied. Though the
laws have been improved in many re-
spects they are still unjust to women.

For instance, when the husband dies'

the law makes'it a necessity for the
widow to pay out large sums for the
settlement of the estate; while if she
dies he pays out not one cent. Then
too if the father dies, the minor chil-
dren must have a guardian; no such
necessity 1f the mother dies. The
father is at liberty to squander the
property, even to leaving the children
homeless. The law has no terrors for
him. A large share of lawyer’s fees
come from settling widows’ estates.

When widowers are made to dance
attendance on the courts of law
like manner, there will be more of
justice or at least a show of equality.

The New Womanhood.

()ne of the best results of the moral
work of the world that is being done
everywhere by '.'.'otncn, is that it has
created a new sentiment of chivalry
for the new womanhood.

Now, within memory almost of the
youngest, women have taught men to
honor them, not only for their purity,
but for their philanthropy, for their
high ambitions, for their work in res-
cuing the fallen, in tending the sick, in
succoring the poor. And today the

at Des Moines, Iowa:

The Sioux City i’olitical Equality
Club herewith submits the following re-
port for your consideration:

Our society was organized on the
133th day of January, A. 1)., 1890 with
‘20 charter members. Up to the date
of this report, we have members in
good standing as follows; which, under
our Constitution and lly-laws are di-
vided into three classes, namely:
Active members (all ladies). . . . . 05
Associate members. . . . . . . . .. 3‘.)
Honorary members. . . .. ... . . . 1

Total ............ . . .. 135

Of the associate members, 37 are
gentlemen and two only are ladies,
the one honorary member being a lady
and the aged mother of Hon. (leo. D.
Perkins, editor of the Sioux City Jour-
nal

The society is free from debt and
has $60.00 in the treasury. During
the present month we contributed the
sum of $25.('t0 to the support of your
honorable body and you will always
iind us randy and willing to contribute
according to our means.

()ur tirst two year’s work consisted
principally of the reading and discus-
sion of numerous papers, written by
members of the society on questions
of civil government. The plan of
work for the present year consists of
an original paper at each meeting,
upon some topic pertainlng to woman,
or in which she is materially interested.
The following is a complete list of pa-

attendance.

We trust your annual session for
1892 will result in much good for the
amelioration of woman. We are look-

day in the near by-and-by, when the
mothers of America shall stand upon
an equal political footing with the
fathers of their children, for

Sept. 17, ’92.

A number of W. C. T. U. conven-
tions in Minnesota have adopted the
following resolution: “Thatinasmuch
as the wearing of trained dresess is com-
pulsory in the courts of kings. it is a-
fashion that may well be set at naught
by the women of a republic; and, since
a style of dress that keeps a woman
clutching at her garments detracts
from her dignity and moral influence
as well as from her freedom and com—
fort, and, whereas, by the wearing of
trains our sisters are made weak, we
will wear no trains ‘while the world
stands.”

The liquor trade is a monopoly re' “-

working man’s curse.

At the solicitation
_- number of my fellow-pas-
sengers, I write this protest against
the misrepresentation of women who
consider their durance as a period of
patriotic service, and are conducting
themselves accordingly. Feeling con-
fident that the Tribune’s abiding sense
of courtesy and justice will secure the
publication of this statement, I send
it on behalf of the ladies on board La
Bourgoyne.

Fashion Versus Cleanliness.

Is it not surprising that women who
pride themselves on their personal
cleanliness and firmly believe it ranks
next to godliness should, in the face
of the opinion of scientific men, of
their own common sense if they give
the subject a moment’s consideration,
be such blind devotees of fashion and
the dictates of their dressmakers as to
wear the now fashionable
dresses?

Nothing can be brought forward in
favor of this direct breach of the laws
of health and cleanliness; for indoor
wear, so much cannot be said against
this fashion; but for outdoor wear,
where the lilth of roads, pavements
and street corners must be obvious to
every one, it should receive the strong-
est condemnation.

The Saleslady and the Factory Girl.

The salesladies of New York are
greatly incensed because a bill intro-
duced in the legislature classes them
with factory girls! Such
as unjust as unhealthy. In physique
the factory girl is the peer of the
“salesladyz'” in intelligence she does
not fall short; in wage earning ability
she is her superior, and in the home
she will prove a better housekeeper
than her fastidious sister. The motion
of a lly‘s wings will not subject her to
a cold and she will have fewer flies on
the dinner table than the mistress of
the tape and the pencil.

Quarantined.

[The following protest to the misrepre-
sentations that are among the wrongs to
which women are subjected, from the tal-
ented President of the WOman's Council
will explain itself]

To the. Editor of the Tribune: Sin
—The passengers on board this agree-
able tloating prison have read with
amazement the very interesting ac-
counts of the panic, the hysteria, and
other manifestations of emotions at-
tributed by the daily press to the wo-
men. If the gentlemen have been
amused by these touching descriptions
of feelings and conduct which would
otherwise have been unknown to them,
in the ladies the sense of amusement
has been modillcd by some indigna-
tion.

It is not pleasant to be quarantined;
but if the public health is protected by
this precaution, there is no woman on
tnis ship who is not ready to bear her
part in the sacrilice involved. The
women have endured the situation
with patience and dignity. They have
mitigated its tedium by cheerful in-
dustry. From the moment that quar-
antine was announced, scores of them
may have been seen reading, writing,
knitting, sewing, superintending the
games of the children, and engaging

e men in agreeable conversation. If

There can be no jealousy. The elder
