ing. PKOS Al COM3 OF WOMEN.
From the Philadelphia Record.
In 18i John Stuart Mill published his
treutlse on "The Subjection of Women."
It was a manly, a sympathetic and, of
course, u very able exposition of the wo
man question in most of its hsjieels. A
great deal has since been said In more or
less impassioned and rhetorical form on
the same question- but we doubt If in
the discussion much have been added to
Mill's contribution to it. li the twenty
seven years that have gone by since Mill
wrote the Tyrant, man. bus been stripped
of the sceptre and the rod, and his alleged
victim In her emancipated state has
stepped Into most of the professions and
employments which formerly he consid
ered exclusively his own. She has become
preacher, lawyer, doctor, musical direc
tor, professor of art, stenographer, cash
ier, merchant, hotel keeper, editor und
traveler, and withal carries a latch key
nnd rides a "bike." She stands forth
to a witnessing world, redeemed, regen
erated and disenthralled!
And now comes Frederic Harrison, a
crliic, a scholar, a philosopher and a keen
observer, who declares what he con
ceives to be the result. He says: "It is
ililllcult to believe that In these twenty
seven years women hae proved them
slves so greatly suprlor to their mothers
and their grandmothers that the passage
from slavery to freedom has wrought any
change so vast or. Indeed, nny change nt
all, except a certain perceptible loss ill
tenderness, mouesty nnd charm and a
very marked Increase of restlessness, self
assertion and conceit." In quoting Air.
Harrison perhaps rashly, we hasten to
say that we do not pretend to back him;
but, on the contrary, we venture lo sug
gest that the change III womun which he
remarks, even If It exist, is due, no doubt,
to the. somewhat puzzling transition from
darkness to light und from slavery to l'ree
dom. As soon as she shall adjust herself
to her new environment we may be sure
that woman will win back all the tender
ness, modesty and charm which distin
guished her In the old duys, of subjection,
and which so firmly held the Tyrant in
their silken chains.
We have mentioned the various parts
which woman Is now playing in the world
of business nnd 111 professional life; but
one door only, it would seem, remains
shut against her. That Is the door of I lie
polling booth. She Is denied the ballot.
She may not generally, nor with much
enthusiasm, desire ll. The late David
Hudley Field, however, maintained that
she is lilted tor It, and deserves It. His
statement of the ouestiou from his point
of view Is so pertinent that we think wo
shall be doing our readers a service by
laying It before our readers a service by
a paper prepared by him, entitled "Amer
ican Progress In Jurisprudence," and
primed In the American Law Register lor
the current month. He says: "What is
meant by the people? At the time of the
limit Declaration the people meant adult
white men. After the civil war. and for
Foine years, the people meant adult men,
while or black. What Is meant now'.' in
the state of Wyoming by the people is
meant adult men and women, white or
black. In that most advanced of all the
states in this respect a Woman as Well as
a man votes for the representatives of
state. Why should she not? She counts
In every enumeration of His census: her
name Is on every tax-roll; she is the nurs
er and Instructor of youth; she forms
more than man the .habits, lustes and
manners of all the living; she Is as deeply
Interested us mull ill good laws well mi
mililstered; she suffers us much from bud
administration, and protlts as much by a
good one. I repeat, why should she not
vote us well as man? Certainly, It is not
because she is not as capable to rule. In
modern times, three of the greatest rulers
of the world have been women Abiria
Theresa, of Austria; Catharine, of llussla,
and Victoria, of Kiigluiul. ll does not he
come a man to say lhat any one of these
great personages was not, at least, his
eipiul in the capacity and art of govern
ing. And In these States, who will pre
tend that it Is lust and decorous to give
the rlKht of voting to Igiiurant blacks,
when ll Is refused to Intelligent women?
Political and social movements are some
times slow In their coining; but come they
will, and It Is the loglcul sequence of our
freipieiit saying that this is a government
of the people, by the people and for the
people, that every true limn should allow
lo tho wife of his bosom and the daughter
of his hoe.se the same voice In the gov
ernment of their country that Is allowed
to his brother and his son. For use. It Is
enough to say, that though In many
Slates und tuitions Hie right of voting for
'holders of the less Innmrtant ottices" has
been conceded to women, yet It has been
reserved to an American state to be lirst
in the long procession of ages to place
ut win the head of woman us of man the
crown of a free and eipial suffrage."
If our fair readers should think we have
given them the bune In quoting Mr. Har
rison, no doubt they will ibid the antidote
