evcrv woman that ovii rrtnertT; ther all
know a well a we do that they wouli not
be made a they are before their bou if
tliey could v't. We have erery rmwn
to think that tlic officer of the town add
what they pleae to our taxes. Iat year
thuy added f 100 to our homettead without
giving us ny notice, and the f nrne amount
to two widowi in the neighbfirhood,
who cannot work their land, and not a
man "bad hit proerty raised, for he could
ilnd it out and a woman could not
Vie have paid the town of Glaitonbunr
during thvjait m yeArs more than f 1,000,
and for what? to be ruled over and be put
under what all the citizens know to be the
lowest and mobt worthier of any in the
pla-fc. "Why should we be outlawed? Wc
should be glad to tay in our homestead
win-re we were born and have always lived,
the little time we have to tay, and to be
buried with our family and ancctor, but
its plensnntncAs ha gone, for wo know we
do not hold it in aecurity as our neigh
bors hold theirs; that it ia liable to be
taken from us whenever the town ees
fit.
The town collector called for our taxw
on Monday at itin-'et the last day and
hour he could call. We told hirn we would
prefer to-wait until wc had been heard by
the town, for if they gave us no hopes of
voting, we wanted them to ell our farm
for the taxc, for it win but reasonable, if
Viey owned it, to get the taxes from it, we
could not; and we wished they would be
gin at the ettst end and come into the street,
for wo wanted to save our homestead whilo
we lived, and thought it would last us.
lie said he hoped he hould not bo the
collector then. He agreed to all the in
justice of which wc compluined.
, He said, as many do, he thought women
thut had property ought to votf We said
those tbii. had none, needed it more. If
they could have the power to vote against
the grog-shops their drunken husbands
would never dare to ftbiino them as they
did, but they could do it now with impu
nity, for the town officers would not punish
a voter."
The address was quietly listened to, and
its .uggcstion entirely ignored. The
Mioses Smith declined Xo pav their winter
tax, in accordance with tnelr declared
purpose, saying ' if the town own? our
farm (about 130 acres,) it belongs to tho
men to get out of it what they claim we
should pay, for we never could ; and it
purely does not belong to us to assist them
n any way, having no voire in the matter.
Our money we own, and we are not will
ing, any more, to take what we own to
jinv For what wo do not own."
The collector called again Now Year's
day with an attachment. Tho i"Nter
pleaded hard for a resplto till they could
polition the men, they safd, "to let us own
our laud as they owned theirs, and then
.we would willingly pay our taxes; and how
much better it would bo to havo the money
paid freely than to have all this trouble
abu'ut it?" The town had waited pn a fac
tory company for their taxes for years, till
.the'coinpany failed, and they lost several
.thousand dollars by it. Wu had our sliare
of this money to pa a larger share, as it
Appeared by his books, than any other of
ilio inhabitants, and there is no risk in
waiting for us to pay. But they were men
and wo are women." "Now," saii we,
'" Mr. A., you would not bo willing, per
sonally, to take a woman's property be
cause she can not vote to defend it; no
other man in town would, though you will
agree together to do it. But numbers can
never make it right."
Tho collector seized and drove off seven
of a herd of eight Alderney cows which
one of tho sisters had raiscdj to satisfy his
bill of f 101.39. Four or tho cows were
bid in to fill tho town's demand. This
'sa!c. not only of' their property but oi
their pots, was looked ujnin as an arbitrary
'proccc(ling,nll tho moro for the reason that
on two previous occasions the collector had
"assured them that their tar could lio by rc
'turning twelve per cent, interest, w'hich
'they consented to pay, and at tno very
time wberi 'their cows were being sold
there ivcrc more than ?'J;000 of uncollec
ted taxes, and no ono seemed able to
explain why this amount should bo al.
lowed to .run and two dqfcnseles women
brought so very rigorously up to ,tho very
letlor of the la'w.
From that time to tho present tho Misses
Smith, with old-fashioned "Yankee grit,
havo persisted in their refusal to pay taxes
under the existing conditions. And year
"by year their property has lecn seized and
sold for taxes. Somo women who itold
property in their own right aro "construc
tively" represented in town meeting and at
the polls by a male relative father, broth,
cr or 'husband, as tho caso may be. But
theso women aro not even " constructively "
represented; their disfranchisement has
been complete and absolute. Their de
mand is that their disfranchisement shall
cease, that they shall be given in future an
equal voice with their neighbors and
townsmen in assessing and expending the
town taxes. Is this domand just or is it
not? Is taxation without representation
which was wrong at Boston in 1774, right
at Glastonbury in 1874 ? This is the is
sue forced upon the intelligent, Justice
loving people of Connecticut, and through
themthe entire country. This is the issue
that meets us face to facohere in Nebraska.
The men of Glastonbury are no worse
than other men. "We are told " they can
not consent to grant tho wishes of the
Misses Smith, without inaugurating a re
bellion." The common reply has been,
'"let the foolish women pay their taxes,
and then they can milk their own cows in
peace." Dr. Samuel Johnson said the
same thing to Sam Adams in a littlo pam
phlet called Tbxafwn o Tyranny. But
Sam Adams was not converted, and tho
Colonies were not converted. "Wo all ap
plaud their resisting tho collector, and un
dertaking a long and doubtful and wasting
war rather than submit to pay taxes upon
their property which thov had no voice in
levying. But if Sam Adams and George
"Washington would not submit to this kind
of taxation a hundred rears ago, why
should Miss Abby Smith and her sister
submit now ? If ft was tyranny then, is it
less tyranny now ? Doestaxation without
' representation cease to be tyranny and be
come justice, when the taxed "property
owner is a woman? These questions are
respectfully submitted tb the men of Ne-
braska for answer.

When Mr, Adam IU In coagreai bat-

(a. petition from women of hU dlitrict

eral relatinq1 U thi ubjct, bat made it a
p?cia. iint to attack the fcmal pti-
tion oil the ground of the et of the "jveti-
tione. Ue Jald : ''He, thought the
femnk could have a iutTicient field for the
exercise of their Influenct; in the ditcharge
of their dutim to their father, their hu-
band, and their brother, imUaul of xuih-
inj into the fierce itruijleB of poliucal
life. He felt lorry at thla depnrturo from
their proper sphere, bccauie he considered
it discreditable, not only to their particu
lar section of the country, but alio to the
national character "
To thij, among other remarks, Mr.
Adams replied a follows:
" Why does it follow that women are fit
ted for nothing but the cares of domestic
life, for bearing children and cooking the
food of a family, devoting all their time
to tho domcitic circle to promoting the
immodiato personal comforts of their hus
bands, brothers and sous? I admit it is
their duty to do these th ings. But I say
that the correct principle is, that women
are not otily justified, but exhibit the most
exalted virtue when they depart from tho
domestic circle, and enter on the concerns
of their country, of humanity, and of their
God. Thomere departure of women from
the duties of the domestic circle, far from
being a ruproach to them, is a virtue of
tho highest order when it is done from
purity of motive, by appropriate means,
and towards a virtuous purpose. And I
bold that woman, by the discharge of such
duties, Jirh manifested a virtue which ia
oven above the virtues of mankind, and
approaches to a superior nature. That is
the principle I maintain, and I hold it to
b proof of puro patriotism, of sincere
piety, and of every "virtue that can adorn
the female character."
. The mother of the above President, and
wife of President John Adams, in writing '
to her husband, then in the Continental '
Cngre.i, in Maroh, 177G, said: " I long I
to hear vou have declured an iudenen
.i i
dthey, and, by, the way, in the new code
of lawii which I suppoie it will be neces
sary to make, I desire lhat you would re
member the ladies, and be more generous
and favorable to them than your ancestors.
"Io not put such unlimited power into
tho hands of husLands.
"Kepi ember, all men would be tyrants
if they could.
"It particular care and attention are
not paid to the ladies, we are determined
to foment a rebell.on, and will not hold
ourselves bound to obey any law in which
we have no voice or representation."
After they had declared their indepen
dence, she replied to it in the following
manner: " 1 can not say that I think you
are very generous to tho ladies ; for whilst
you, aro proclaiming peace and good will
to men, emancipating the men of alt na
tions, you insist on retaining absolute pow
er over wives."" David Plumb.
"AND DON'T YOU FOROET IT.'
r Now, ladies,-is an excellent time for you
to take your memorandum books and
carefully mark down the attitude of every
politician, state, county and precinct upon
the suffrago amendment. Note those who
openly, bravely and honorably support it;
note those who openly oppose it; but espe
cially note tbueo who are "nun-committal,"
for many of this clats will be tho loudest
to express their hypocritical claims as life
long, ardent suffragists, just at tho last,
when it becomes evident that it will carry.
Watch these cowardly fellows men who
attempt to float on the high tide of popu
lar opinion, without even creating a ripple
to help swell the wave. They will bo (since
thoir cowardice is only equalled by their
"check") among tho first to congratulate
you and ask your political holp. Mark
them now and tell them that when you ap
pealed to all men for a brave expression of
opinion, the' remained silent. Many will
say ; "I voted for the amendment." The
reply should be, "We seeded more than
your Tote. It was due to the women of
Nebraska, to Ihe importance of the issue,
to justice and humanity, to your own real
or fancied importaace as a framer and
leader of local opinion, that you should
havo openly supported it. In the hour
when bravo -words of advocacy were sil
ver,! aad open,, aoppert sraa goki,. you
wrapped the cowardly mantle of silence
round you, and gave us only the diihoa
est currency of indifference. With the
same currency wc will repay you." .

THE SITUATION.
The friend of Hqual Suffrage have
many reasons to feel hopeful. While the
amount of work to be accomplished Is
great, the indications for a Miccossful re
sult aro most favorable. A wider and
deeper interest in the justice and cxpedi-1
ency of woman's claim to the ballot is
spreading among the xnaaaes, and many
allies at home and from abroad are con.
stantly coming to our assistance. The
t.roirresOveness and fairmindedncss. which
are so eminently tho distinguishing traits
of Western character, constitute excellent
soil wherein to plant the seeds of this re
form. The peoplo of Nebraska aro begin
ning to recognise the high honor that will
crown their state if she will be th first te
proclaim herself a true democracy, secur
ing to all her citizens civil and political
" equality before the law." On every
hand the movement presents the cheering
evidences of advancement. Fully two
thirds of the nowspapers of the state are
favoring tho adoption of the amendment.
Many of our ablest and most influential
men are its open and avowed supporters.
Among them are our United States sena
tors, nearly all the judges of tho supremo
and district courts, tho prosecuting attor
neys, and numerous other officials. In
this class may also be included many of
tho most prominent speakers and !iti
ciani of our state of all partiof. From our
latest advices the majority of the minis
ters arc in sympathy with the movement
a number of them eloquently advocating
it by voiro and pen. The best citizens,
both women and men, desire its success.
Everywhere, churches aud school houses
are cheerfully opened for its discussion.
With few exceptions, tho question and its
proclairacrs aro treated fairly and court
eously, even by papers of adverse senti
ments. Success seems assuredly sure.
How to Secure an Affirmative Vote
on the Proposed Amendmont.
Whon all other objections to woman's
voting have been unanswerably met, in
variably our male opponents make the as
sertion that ''Tho majority of women don't
want to vote." To the question, " How
do you kaow 7" the reply is : " Show that
they do and men will vote for tho amend
ment, but we are not willing to thrust new
duties upon women against their wishes.
Just show that the asajority of the women
of Nebraska want to vote, and success at
the polls is assured."
Tho one thing for us to do, thea, is to
accomplish just what is thus so pertinently
pointed out. The question arises, " How
are we to do this T" The Nebraska Wo
man Suffrage Association is having circu
lated a petition to the state electors to be
signed by ladies desiring to exercise the
right of suffrage, asking the electors to i
voteia favor of the proposed amendment.
The best solution to the question, it is be
lieved, is to securo the requisite number of
signatures to this petition. The petition
reads as follows :
" Wbkriab, We, the women of Ne-
hrka. are disfranchise hr th mmtltn.
tion solely on account of sex ; and
"Wh laa as, We do respectfully demand
