This wotd slave, now a term of Ig
nominy or reproach, Is derived from the
Hlaviiiilnit slava. which mount glory oi
renown, and formed th teriulnatlon ut
1 llio most Illustrious names In nil the dia
led of Unit tongue. Hut when llio
Slail hud been reduced to servitude by
thn tlrrmans, their nam Imcuiiio synony

ancestors briiuralhrd tlio woitl to us to
Indicate those III homlugo. Thus tlllihon,
In his "IVcllna and I'nll of the lloinau

nis I lie fiim the slHiillicallon of gluiy to
(hat of servitude."
Few of the lower aiiluiula have had the
art or the Incllnatlun lo make slows ot
nitnra. but man's Ingenuity was exer
cised In this manner ages before the
dawn of history. The sacrlilcial atnnrs
ami the contents of sepulchral tumuli tell
their own tale aa cogently as If writ
ten. Ills presumption rlalmrd all anl
nulls for his use, and this was speedily
followed by the suhjugullon nf the weaker
of his species. The classic rhapsodies on
I Freedom, by tlreeks ami Kom.ins, re
ferred only lo a privileged clnss. Those
j who were always ready In pour out their
I blo.v.1 for their own liberty felt no Im
propriety or remorse in visum in trniai
otTinsrn of their slaves with cruel alrlpca
or a more cruel death. Ken our own
Magna Chart was extorted by freemen
for freemen, and contained no provisions
for the numerous servile. From the
lime man llrst appeared on this earth
slavery has been the lot of Ihe great hulk
of humanity. The masses huve lived and
suffered, have lolled and served, as chal-
i our own sacred lock contains no ills
i upprobHllon of the practice. On the con-
trury. It Impllclty iiiholils slavery, as It

by Nonh for Ham's Irunsgresslons? "A
servant of servants shall he Im unlit his
brethren." And so the Rev. John New
ton. Ilk Sir John Hawkins and so many
other English worthies, preached on deck
from tho text. "Itte one another," while
the hold below was crowded to suffoca
tion with stolen negroes, by whose cap
ture and sal he was i nrlched. The
consciences of such men were clear: they
were curr) ing oui the will of Providence,
like their Imitators toduy. Was nol the
Honctn mud for ih iniin. uml not itiun
for Ihe womnti? Was ttol her cretitlon
a divine uflerthniigiit, caused by plly for
his loneliness and wunt of suitable help?
And wns not she uln cursed, by a higher
than Noun, "Thy desire shull be to ihy

And so our bishops, good men some of
Ihem, and mosl of Ihem "lllierully edu

that they ar thus fulillllng Ihe will of

Interference wilh Individual liberty Is
either a survival of barbarism or a re.

curtail or modify any of those by law or

slave, and lo do so for Ihe suppose.! Is lic
it! of 1. 1 hers or for I he good of some spe-
Ponlon of Ihe community Is the very
essence of slavery. In the struvule for

At present, In the more Improved coun

only case, save one. In which laws and
Institutions lake persons at Iheir lilith
and ordain lhat they shull never, In all

who urge lhat women have no wrongs
and no Jusl cause of complaint! Th-y
point lo the majority of women irbd say:
"See how satisfied ihey are. They nre
not clamoring for a change."
Even If this be true, It proves nothing
