IN' WOMAN'S BEHALF
SUFFERERS BY THE LAW.
Women Have HO .Voice la
Which Concerns Them Equally Wit
Hon.
The question of marriage and divorc
laws and their reformation , says Mr
Livermore , is one i& which women ai
vitally interested , for they are gene :
ally the deepest sufferers from the lawi
immoral and unequal action , and fc
them there is the least redress. Wha
ever legislation may bo undertakei
whether by concerted action or throug
a national constitutional amendmen
concerns both sexes equally , and bet
should have equal influence in directin
it. Very many of the evils that bav
sprung up in the marriage relation hav
originated in the fact that one sex ha
been the solo dictator of laws wide
concern both equally. Men have mad
the laws of marriage and divorce , an
women have never heon consulted as t
their wisdom or adaptability to women'
own circumstances , or their approval c
them. The husband has legal control c
the person of the wife ; her services b (
long to him , and have no money value
She is expected to work for food , she !
tor and clothing , and is thus made
pauperized dependent on her bus
band. Whatever gains accrue from he
unpaid labor become his property. I
she has leisure and ability to engage i :
money-making exploymonts after pei
forming the household labor , many o
the States of the Union give icr earn
ings also to her husband. Four womoi
of prominence in literary and profes
sional life , whoso names would bo fa
miliar to most of my readers , have beei
compelled to apply to the courts for pro
tection against their husbands whi
would have robbed thorn of their earn
ings , while they wore charged with thi
maintenance and education of the chil
dren. The impecunious condition o
wives , not alone among those whost
husbands are men of small incomes , bu
among many whoso means are ample , ii
one of the most fruitful sources of rest
lessness and unhappiness in marriec
life , and is ono of the underlying causes
of frequent divorce. Only six of th <
United States allow a married mother t <
be an equal owner and guardian of th <
minor children with their father. Ii
all other States the father is their sole
owner and guardian. If the mother haf
no ownership in her little children ;
whom she wins in the valley of death ,
at the risk of her own life , she is indeed
pauperized , most abject , most wretched ,
Ah , if men wore not , in most .instances ,
bettfer than the laws they have made f 01
women , this world would bo Pandemonium -
nium itself !
A wife and mother should always be
mistress of herself , and never the slave
of another , not oven when that other is
her husband and the slavery is founded
on her undying love. That robs her oi
half her value. "Give your child to b
educated by a slave , " said the old Greek ,
"and instead of one slave , you will then
have two. " There. should be legal
equality established between the hus
band and the wife , equal ownership oi
the family property , equal guardianship
of the minor children. For more than a
quarter of a century I have been so sit
uated that I have been the recipient ol
the confidences of wives and mothers tea
a very large extent. If I should publish
the sad stories of injustice , wrong and
outrage of which they have been the
silent victims , perpetrated under cover
of laws made by men for the government
of both sexes in married life , by hus
bands who intend to be in the main fair
and just , I should startle the com
munity. "No ordinary man , " said
John Stuart Mill , years ago , "is willIng -
Ing to find at his fireside an equal in
bho person he calls his wife. " Have
wo outgrown the narrowness of the day
( vhon these words were penned ? Are
nen now just enough to counsel with
women in formulating a code of laws
ihat shall bear equally on husband and
ivife ? Are they prepared to convert into
living verity the axiom of our great Bill
) f Rights , which declares that "all just
governments "derive their power from
; he consent of the governed ? " Then ,
.ndoed , is a better day about to dawn on
, he world a statelier Eden will come
igin to man. If not , then reformation
) f our laws of marriage and divorce
nust tarry yet longer for the tardy ad-
rent of the day when u man will see in
vonaan his other half , equal but diverse ,
vbo will be his best helper and his di-
rinest friend , when he elevates her to
; he same plane of equality with him-
; elf , and forbids her to be fettered even
y a gossamer.
MANIFEST MALICE.
lisstatements Ittiule Concerning Woman
Suffrage In Wyoming.
Now that there is every prospect that
Vyoming will shortly be admitted as a
itate , with its women exercising full
itizenship , the papers in New York and
ther Eastern cities are beginning to
Tint letters , ostensibly from the Terri-
ory , which contains statements going
0 prove that woman suffrage is a failure
here. The N. Y. Sun recently con-
ained such an. article. The first state-
lent is that :
"Notwithstanding her right to vote ,
roman's influence is of little weight at
lie polls. Men go to the primaries ,
lake up the tickets , and furnish the
allots to the women voters , who go to
tie polls in cabs , deposit their votes ,
nd are quietly driven home again ,
.fter the first excitement and novelty
rere over , women manifested little in-
3rest in voting , and their disfranchise-
lent would be met with passivity and
.ttle or no opposition on their part. "
I was in Wyoming only a little over a
ear ago , writes Lilly Devereaux Blake ,
1 Woman's Journal , and met during my
; ay in Laramie and Cheyenne many of
10 leading women of these places. I
m , of my own personal knowledge , tes-
iy to the falsity of these allegations ,
"hat woman s influence at the polls
lould be less important than man's is
ot surprising when it is remembered
lat the men outnumber the women
3ven to one. Of course , as men cast
jven times as many votes as women ,
icy are seven times as important in ef-
scting the results. Men naturally
> rm a large proportion of the audiences
tall public meetings : but to decl ro
that women feel no Intevest In polltu
and would submit to disfranchisemot
with indifference , is wholly incorrec
All the women with whom I converse
expressed great interest in polities' , an
showed an intelligence in regard 1
local affairs and officials which I hav
never met among women who did nc
vote. They were eagerly interested i
the hope for Statehood , and their man
meetings hold this summer to enforc
their demand for the guarantee of the ]
freedom in the new constitution is proc
of their zealous care of their own ii
terests.
Other statements are that women a
jurors were ' 'unsatisfactory. " Wherea
Judges Iloyt , Kingman , and other iui
ists in whoso courts women have serve
as jurors , are emphatic in declaring tha
they were admirable in their conducl
Indeed , the next assertion of the anonj
xnous writer proves his ignorance of th
whole question , for he describes jurj
women as weeping for the babies frcr
whom they wore separated , when ever ;
one in Wyoming knows that wome
with young families were never callc
on for jury duty. Mrs. Esther Morris
the famous woman justice of the peace
is quoted , not over her own name , bu
only by her title , as not favoring woma :
suffrage. Now I saw Mrs. Morris am
had a long talk with her while in Cheyenne
enne , and she emphatically approved o
all that has boon done for her sex. Sh' '
wished that women were more active ii
politics , but admitted that whore the ;
were so outnumbered by men they wen
not likely to do very much.
The article closes by declaring tha
the laws are no bettor for women li
Wyoming than in adjoining States. Ii
some respects this is true , since the lain \ \
in many of the Western States are s <
liberal for women that they could hard
ly bo improved ; but the Territory ha :
ono law on its statute books which ha :
no counterpart in any State , and that i :
the law securing equal pay for equa
work to women and men as school-teach
ers.
ers.The
The final slur is an intimation tha
women are no bettor off industrial ! ]
there than elsewhere. In any Stati
where there are so few women among s (
many men , it is natural to find near ! ]
all the women occupied in their domes
tic duties ; but , as a fact , women do hole
high positions. They have been clerk :
in the Legislature , State Librarians
etc. The clerk in the Secretary o :
State's office is a brilliant young lady ,
and women hold other positions nol
filled by women in less favored States
Womanly Principle.
In America , certainly , most of the
prominent advocates of equal rights are
themselves married women and mothers
of families. They are far enough from
setting up as the goal of their wishes z
state of society in which the majority ol
women shall be spinsters and bread-win
ners. They believe that every girl
should receive a training which will en
able her to bo a bread-winner in case oi
need , because matrimony is uncertain ,
and also because , as Margaret Fuller
said , "In order to give her hand with
dignity , she must be able to stand
alone. " They regret the social condi
tions which make it impossible for so
many women to contract an honorable
and happy marriage. But they do not ,
with Mr. Grant Allen , regard an unmar
ried woman as necessarily "unsoxed , "
"defeminized , " "an abnormity , " etc.
On the contrary , they hold that the
woman who prefers to live unmarried
rather than to marry without love gives
proof of her good principles and her
essential womanliness. Woman's Jour

IN WOMAN'S WORLD.
A TTPE-WIJITER'S Union has lately
been organized among women in Lon
don , to prevent the lowering of wages.
THE crowning glory of the gains of
1889 is , that Wyoming has ratified her
Woman Suffrage State Constitution by a
vote of eight to one.
THE Kentucky University , at Lexing
ton , has just opened its doors to women ,
owing to the , efforts of the Kentucky
Equal Eights Association. It has now
twenty young women enrolled.
