Informed that "child-bearing by proxy can never 1

we make answer that Mrs. Corbet t-was also In

"The picture1 lluted btlieM would be.'a felrT

exempt from child-bearing. And especially does '
the W lay stress upon' the fantasy 'that as an
office-holder ahe would be compelled to do double""
duty In (hat direction. Let Intelligent readers -restrain
their mirth while we solemnly Inform the
JXwt that wise women are gravely consideringthe
problem of fewer children aud better ones. - Tliey -are
learning that motherhood is a business which r
f Jlghf ought to be under their owiff control, and
that when ami under what circumstance they are--"to
give tatheworId , children". Is their own ' ,
affair. They have learned that too frequent repe
tition of the ordinary genus masculine is not a
judicious occupation or profitable Investment. A
nest full of birds is a pretty spectacle, but'it is
badly spoiled by the presence, of diseased or dead
ones, A nouse run or happy cntiuren is-an abid-

Free womanhood will regulate thesethingvand
motherhood will then .become an honor and a

they coutemplate the -awful consequence they
conjure up aa n result of woman' liberty: - Evi
dently the iW Imagines that when women are
free all of them will become office-holders and
every one will be a motherat least once a year,
with now and "then an admixture of twins or trip
lets. - Restrain yourself again, good reader while
we tell it that women who have reached their
prime or the time of life when men are success
ful aspirants for Important office are beyond the
age when nature exacts maternity. The women .

Mrs. Fawcett, the amiable auI accomplished
ifeW the Potma.ter-Oeneral of England, re-''-
cently presidol a t -a auflTrage meeting nt the-Wet-minster
Palace Hotel In London, Among other
used arliir
things she said, speaking from the chair:
The arrumenfs which have bn
Woman Suffrare are difficult to answer, chiefly
on account of the flimv character ther assume.
For one thing, we are told that women should not
ha,ye a vote because the battle of Hasting was not
won by a woman. " Another distinguished oppo-.
nent a member-of Parliament said "women
onght not to have a vote, because' when women
committed murders the?-ran a risk of abnut one
per .rent leas than if tbey were, men of being
banced.- Another think there would be dancer
of hi frtrrettlnc the simple leaaou he Irarned at
his mother' knee. Another gentleman, more
philosophical than the rest, said women oucht not
to have vote, because. If Mr. A should vote.. Mr.
B would leave orT loving herehiMren." In one"
nrvatn we have bad this double-barreled argu
ment that women ourht not to have vote because
they did not want them, and because if they had
them they would sacrifice evenrthlnr. Including
home duties and affections, for tne sake of piang
ing into the mid-t of political excitement.
I believe women will ret thetr political rirhts
in America before we ret them here, and 1 am
jwtsuaded that we are going to win Jn En gland.
