MASSACHUSETTS VOTEBS.
The voluminous reports of meetings
of women voters iu Massachusetts show
how eager are women for the suflrage,
even though it Is restricted to school
matters. The (act that the ladies apply
constantly for registration disproves the
assertion that they will not vote if they
have a chanee. Thoy havo either al
ready organized or are organizing
throughout the entire State, and their
proceedings are always marked by ear
ne&tiiess. Boston proper has been di
vlded Into districts, and the leading.
Woman Suflraglsts will endeavor to
have a full vote polled. Miss Frances
E. WHIard recently lectured in Hyde
Park on the new duty of women. She
illustrated the fact that school suflrage
prepared the way for succeeding step9.
and urged that the right now secured
should be regarded as a boon to be used
with joy. Hyde Park Is the home of
Angellua Grimfce Weld, who was the
first woman to open her Hps for the
slave, and who, in connection with her
sister. Sarau UrimKe, anu auuj ix)
Foster, broke down the wall which shut
women away from public speaking and
from expression on any and all que
I Inrin nf nnnnlar interest. East Boston
n.l other divisions of the city, togelhe
with Cambtldge, Chelsea, Nantucket
nd other cities, will be properly repre
sented. Each of the places named has
been divided into sections by interested
and public-spirited women, and each
will be properly canvassed, in tue en
lo.vnr to east a full vote. Nantucket,
birthplace of Lucretla Mott, Is partlcu
larly anxious to gl-e a full represent
tlon, In honor of its noted champion of
freedom. In addition to the above-
mentioned places, there are numbers of
others that are taking steps to reap the
advantages of the rights now offered.
and in the course of another month the
entire State will probably be properly
canvassed. By exhibiting a desire to
fulfill the duties of citizens in what is
considered by men so small a matter as
selecting school committees, they will
give evidence of their appreciation of
citizenship, and can soon hope to exer
ercise unrestricted suflrage.
In this State, where women also vote
at school elections, there is little active
opposition to the enfranchisement of
women, and when a vigorous campaign
Is inaugurated and a determined fight
made for it. impartial suffrage will
probably be granted.

The people- at Pbeantx have taken
Mrs. Dunlway's side of the trouble In

JUST IHDIGNATIOS.
To th Editor op the Sbw Northwsst :
Tbe people of this remote district are
surprised and shocked by hearing of an
evidence of the refinement (?) and intel
ligence (?) of Jacksonville society, that
rather eclipses anything of tbe kind
ever heard of in this part of tbe country.
You have often heard tbe adage, "The
pen is mightier than the swor.l;" but
Jacksonville is the first to match eggt
against brains. Notwithstanding we
deprecate the practieeof aiting unpleas
ant family histories for public reading,
we have not heard that any oue has at
tempted to deny the truth of what Mrs.
Dunlway has written in regard to a
member of the bench.
It is a notable fact that the mob did
not attack Mrs. D. during her lectures,
out made tue assault at me House or a
defenseless woman. Oue would natu
rally suppose the honorable (?) people
of the city would take some steps to
have the disturbers of the peace pun
isbed. Had a crowd of our Butte Creek-
ers been guilty of such au outrage, the
poulteutiary would scarcely be too great
punishment. But it makes all the dif
ference in the world (to the just Judge)
whose ox is gored.
The presence of Mrs. D. In this county
uas brought to the surface so many
more friends of the cause sho advocates
than her best frieuds anticipated, that
we feel quite jubilaut, even though uoue
of them appear willing to light for her,
especially with Jacksonville weapons.
We consider the weapons emblematic of
tbe cause they are used to defend, which
must bo rotten indeed when such means
of defense must be resorted to. Doubt
less the advocates of tho "aristocracy of
sex" call such conduct arnumenl.
