to be alone. Either sex deteriorate without the
equilibrium of force which can only be supplied
by the presence of the other In equal, or nearly
- Muai, number.
In the early mining day of the Pacific Coast,
when man, obeying the Order of erolutlon, which
begins with the lower stage of any, new derelop
ment, separated himself from the feminine force
that had preserved the equilibrium of hi moral.
' mental' and pbyslcal faculties, and took up hi
abode In the gulches of the HleittfrXevada Jo dig
' for the precious metal that Mother Kature held
hidden away in her bosom, the analytical thinker
Olsoovemi anew ine constant neea or loe equality
of difference In sex, without which, jnan deterio
rates intoa coarse travesty upon himself. Man
had lived In theL mines but a few years until
woman, like oxygen seeking it counterpart force
to equalize the air, expressed her desire to Join
him in hls; auriferous home ; but man gazed inJ
dismay upon his surroundings, and cried out to her
to remain where she was; he looked upon the few
- vitiated specimens of fallen womanhood that had
naturally sought his unnatural abode, and Insane
. ly Imagined that pure women would become as
they If suffered to approach his unhallowed do
main. Ilut wine women knew better they knew
that their presence wa needed to neutralize the
' effects of tills vitiated atmosphere; and by and
by, true to the evolution that at last bring all
things eveu,' they enquered the alarm of fathers
and husbands and the objections of other women
less wise and brave than themselves, and, Joining
' their sexual counterparts, and thus restoring the
equilibrium of difference, they caused the wilder
ness to blossom as the rose through their Influ
ence, and banished the bad women- from their
midst by their presence. ' .
Women, separated from the society of men,
would deteriorate dlfferently,but-ln like ratio."
Without the society of man, Woman 1 frivolous,
suspicious superstitious and tyrannical; without
the society of woman, man is coarse, brutal dlssl-
- pated and crueL The physiological ; and psyche
logical peculiarities of both sexes are needed as
badly In the state as. in the home. Government

Verily, It Is time that the remedy which cleansed
I'ae social Impurity of the mines be extended to
politics. . The equilibrium of difference In the
exes can alone work a cure. Any other proposed
remedy Is the quintessence of quackery. Bad
women will force themselves Into every society
where good women are excluded. Man must and
will associate with woman. ' It Is woman's prov
ince to keep these associations pure; but she can
Dot hope for success as his vassal she can only
succeed as his equal. v ' "1
The sympathy that women give as freely a
the cloud give, rain," is as badly needed In, the
affairs of state as oxygen Js needed in the air or
hydrogen in the water. Man can only legislate
f r the race from what he know of it from hi
own stand-point; and, not being woman, nor able
to comprebend her part of a mutual Interest, he
cannot meet her requirements as her representa
tive. When women have asked for rights, they
a tney could ret, they have been put aside with

Too many women are content with the shadow

The closer the stufty of; M Ins Ilardakei's essay,
the more Is to be found within Its pages to quote,
ponder and admire; and tb more is it to be re
gretted that she has preferretrto use her superior
reasoning powers In ckllng the vanity of her.
maecuUne admireflytatherthaaJaxausing them
to profit bjrherwtt loglcT" She tells us tuly that
the "motive toelf-preservatlon and the very gen
eral dependence of women upon men for the means
of life have fostered moral disease.' Now, will
he tellus why women are thus dependent? Does
he not see that it Is because they are not law-
en? She surely will not say that they are
ot workers, at least In degree. Why should a
woman feel her dependence, if her lot In life Is to
to 'take the whip In hand and enjoy a holiday
ride" f Women deceive themselves when they
thus grasp an Idea and call It a fact ; but, worse
than thlp. they turn another thread in the great
r screw Tor the subjugation of their sex when they
write readable ways to prove that women are
free already. Nothing but woman's political and
consequent financial equality with man will ever
enable her to rise above the "temptation to de
ceive mea which has been so long Indulged, he-
cause of her Yery necessities, -that the whole race
is tainted with dishonesty. A subjugated class Is
always an Intriguing one. Unpaid servitude be-
vget thievery. Tlie redemption of the race must
come through the liberty of w oman. The sons of
..financially dependent women cannot become the
ihlhet typos of Jreemen. - The stream 1 always
colored by it fountain, nor can i ever rise beyond
It Immediate source. ' .

Inartful' the scientific method of determining
the Intellectual, moral and physical development
ot woman
Is to remove the barrier and let her
see forherelf that no sort of legislation that falls
to apply equally to both sexes Is jrqured.io keep
her in her naturally appolated orbit.
The. equality, of difference In sex is happily
illustrated by comparing Mlarllardaker's ideas of
the woman question with lr. Park man's. Bhe
baa . proven herself his equal in - logia and the
method of applying it, with this difference, that
she has gone so far beyond him In her endeavor
to prove woman's Inferiority of Intellect that her
premises, deductions and conclusions have formed
a boomerang-that ha overthrown not only her
own argument.' but that of all men. Mr. Parkman

' WOMAN SUFFRAGE. A NECESSITY
Women should possess the franchise, no( alone
because? it may be useful to the country, but be
cause It Is Just and right, 7. The question with us
is not, would It be expedient, but, Is It right? We
are believer In Davy Crockett's . motto, "Be sure
you're right, then go ahead." We think women
are right in their demands fot recognition, and we
say, let their agitation for their light go ahead.
No avenue of life, no walk of labor and n6 path of
Industry should be closed on them. Tney are hu
man beings, endowed with souls, with mind, Intel
Ugence and moral agency. Possessing all the
mental and moral powers of -man, woman Is for all
social, political and moral purpose hi companion
a nd equal.' . 7 ty- ,
The more barbarous you find a people, the more
degraded you will .find the social condition of
woman.- For an example of what woman' sub
jection to her lord and master does for civilization,
look at the. aborigines of America. The noble red
man Inculcated this doctrine In Its extreme form,
and the consequence was that he had Sunk to" the
lowest depth of savagery and degradation from
which civilization cannot raise him. Look, too, J
at Turkey, where this idea prevails. Death and
destruction are written all over Its crumbling
greatness, because this raise ides of Woman's so
cial position will work the ruin of any society that
teaches it. It was Rome' recognition of her great
women her Sempronlas, Volumnlas and Valerias
and other great daughter that made Rome great,
because her greal-woiiienjame moj h of great
men. n is me momer mat moulds the character
and imprint first lessons on the, boy that are to
be the future men. Degrade the mother, and you
degrade the boy. Make woman a slave a she Id
in Turkey, Egypt and Spain, and she become the
mother of slaves. '.--
European civilization first began to exist-when
Europeans crowned ; their greatest temple. (St.
Peter's) with the statue of a woman, Mary, the
mother of the Savior. - From the early dawn of
the Idea of knight-errantry and chivalry, having
for their object the Improvement of woman'
happiness or the gaining of her smile, to the pres
ent time, this idea has-been asserting itself. -It
meets with opposition now, as it has in all times
Woman Is now considered the great social puri
fier, the great moral disinfectant. By making her
the social equal ot man, society ha .vastly Im
proved Itself. . Will not the government,- then, be
Improved by the same Influences that Improve so-

that time five helpless people dependent on her.

The Legislature of the State Is In kewion, and the
friends of equal rights wish to keep an outlook for
women's political property and personal rights.

can vote, for she couldn't bear to go intothe
