Although were liviny In country that boasts
of being "the land of the free and the home of the
blesf7et we can norbuf realize that at least half
of those who find a home and an abiding-place
here are not numbered among the free. Notwith
standing the fact that woman 'has not been ac
corded the right of citizenship In this land of
freedom," and can hall the anniversary of Ita In
dependence day as the day In which men alone
became a free and Independent people, yet, with
all honor to the day which made her brothers If
not her sisters free, does every woman welcome
Its return with sincere gratitude to God, thankful
that the van of progress has reached even thus far,
extending its ameliorating influence .'over the
condition of mankind. .
Considering this, the Grant County Woman
Suffrage Association did not deem It premature or
out of place to celebrate this day, which stands
preeminently first In the history of our country
and first in the heartrof the people. The exer
cises were opened by a short address by the Chair
man7MaJofMagone7who sfaledTirtrlefheob
Jeetof the meetings mentioning that this Inde
endenee day of men was to be" celebrated under
the ausplcestoTlheir sister, -not-yet free. Rev,
Mr. Willcox, ar stanch friend and: advocate of
Woman Hutfrage, was then Introduced- ch
lulu, and offered a prayer full of fervor and initios,
ladened with earnest supplications for all the co
ple. Following came the rea4llngof the Declara
tion of Indcendence by Mrs. p. Kuhi,' President
of tin; Association.; Aiul then came the crowning
effort of the occasion, the oration by t Mrs. Har
rlette H. I)ean, which was unanimously pro
nounced one of t lie best and ablest ever listened
to. The audience proved their high appreciation
of .it by requesting that it should be given to the
public Kcnerally through themetllum of the press.

JIoHonvt .SrAI have always had an Intense
admiration for any maiii who dared to stand alone. .
To tight valorotisly and persistently for a principle
month after nieivth-and year after year,-ridiculed
and denounced by press and ..politicians, Indicates
a' lofty self-reliance of' character that few men
possess.
Now that you have your armor on, and your
patriotic steel is trembling In the air, ready to
new down all enemies of republican government,
I would call your attention to an article that ap
peared In the .Vin June 14th, entitled "Women as
I)entlsts," In which the writer says thai an appll
cat ion by a young woman to.be admitted to the
New York Deutal College was peremptorily re
fused by the Dean. He sald Ai'I advise all appli
cants to go to Philadelphia. There are three den
tal colleges there, and one open to women. Oar
college Is the only one In New York, and we do
not want 'women students." Injustice to this
woman Is an insult to every other one In the Em
pire State, whose Interests you" represented; for,
remember, womcn are counted in the basis df
representation. -----
On what principles of justice, and common sense
shall one-half of the citizens of the great State of
profession they may see fit, is a far more mo
mentous question than whether.Mr. Roliertson be
colle'tor of. the port, or Messrs. DeKw and Jacobs
he returned In place of Senators resigned. Henoe
I call onyrou to hurl your lance, at this monstrous
Injustice.... rJ - " -

Secretary Rlaine are trifles compared with this
wholesale humiliation of your countrywomen.

A corri'spoiident of the Woman' Junrnat, over

because the)' are sufTragiids themselves. On the
contrary, they often say, "I dout are anything

the Nkw Noktiiu'Kht or the "History, of the
Woman Suffrage Movement," and they, will at
once give you to understand that they "prefer a
