Hverod ono of the moat logical nrgu-
mciitn on the eu.Fragoquestion thiu has
boon delivered during tlio convention.
She is n email woman not as largo aa
Alexander II. Stephens and haa n
voice similar to hia , but without the
smooth eloqucnco no characteristic of
that eminent statesman. She made
the following points :
This subject of suffrage ia not ono
of little importance. It i i not merely
a qtwation of nothiutr. Its rightful-
neaa cannot bo answered by n nimplo
yea or no. It does not coucorn a par
ticular clacs ; nor dooc it apply to R
limited number of poraona. It di

not a nii.ro political question ; it ia a
groal , moral , oocial and political prob
lem , n problem which the wisest
statesmen and soundest think era are
interested in solving.
A now problem ? Yes , but now
problems in science , religious and
politics nro constantly forcing thorn-
st-lvea on the publis mind , end aooner
or later that mind must give answer.

MM. Helen M. Gotiger , of Lafay-

atat.ug h'jwavcr that if any contlomnu

you will have to call upon women to
carry it through to a practical conclu

between good nnd evil there will bo
contention about inherent rights. Thu
speaker nald she was going to run for

enough votes to put her thero. f Loud

in correcting the evils of depravity

want to take the children out of poor

send them to schools. Wo want the

and crime. Wo want it not for aelf-

Wo want the ballot box to correct

every good man nud woman in America.
The generation commencing 1850 has
been a period prolific of momentous
changed. It is the era of' scwi&g machine ,
of the domesticftli m of' steam anil elec
tricity , tha overthrow of the groit robo'-
lon , the destruction of slavery , the consoli
dation of the Getmnu cm ) ire , the fill of
the. ccpnd Nupnleon , the birth of thn
1'rench republic , the Incorporation ui
IndU into the liiitish empire nnd the reso
lution of commerce by. tuo Pacific railways
and the Suez canal. Great chargia h-uo
likewise tai < en place in the structure nf
our own state nnd national legislation , the
most conspicuous and pronounced result
boinf tbo ceu'ralizAtion of power in the
federal government. It haa been preeminently -
eminently a pe.iod of umolioratiou , n loug
stride in the direction nf tolerance of opin
ion , belief } Gpcec.li and creed. Hospitals ,
asylum' , schools , colleges and the manifold
ngeuclex of an advanced thri liun civilta-
tion , fc-r nllevintiug the average lot of
humanity have grown nnd multiplied be
yond the ex [ erienun nf former times , and
men like Mithow V& Ear , George Peabody
und Johns Hopkina have ha < tenod to con
centrate the abundant fruits of honorable
lives , to the exaltation and advancement of
the raco.
liut in no direction have greater changes
occurred in this country than in the condi
tion of woman in rc.poct to employment ,
wage * , personal end property rights. In
nil heathen countries at this hour ttio tnasd
of women nro tlave * orvortc , wholly de-
P'ivoil of civil rights. In most Chri.tlan
countries their l.gal status is out ) of nb-o-
lute subordination in person and property
to men. In this republio nlono linvove
utuincdnn nllitude in which t-oine Hinall
measure of ju-ticc IH meted out to women
by the laws. In 1850 a fairme-u.uto of her
rights was the grim edict of the common
law hoMiog her in guardiamhip prior tu
man iogo aud upon matting * making hei
and all bar possessions practically the pro-
petty of her husband , while n cruel , unrea
sonable and vicious public opinion exclud
ed her from all except maaial and ill-pc-id
service. One by ono and year by yaai
these barriers have given wav , until in
many states her property and personal
right- enjoy the complete shelter of the
law , Now moio than half the occupation
and employment nf this age of industrial
activity nod progiex. nrethromted with the
faithful , efficient und contented labor ol
women. Tbo law kas broken forever the
thraldom of nn ndlout and hopele.s mar
rlage by reasonable ! * for divorce toi
just cause , given her tbe custody of hei
children , vested her with tha nbaolutt
power of disposition and control over hei
property , inherited or acquired , fried 11
from the claims of her husband's creditors ,
nnd clothed her with ample lacjol renudie :
even against her husband. I'erh ips No.
braska nlone of nil the staUs by its courl
cf lattfresort , has upheld the power of tii
wife to make contracts with her hushani
nnd enforce them against him in her owi
aime by the appropriate leg.il remedies
Thii surely is progress. Beyond this then
lies but ono Held to win or fortr.i. to re
'Ihen surely the worn soldier Is thi
long oampalgu crowned with tbe garland
of vict ry jnay rest from the liattle.

Apropos of Uu visit of the distl
en-
guished Somtof Bayard , of Delewar
to the west , a veteran democrat
thirfy years or more , stepped into
THTS BKB counting room Tuesday evenIng -
Ing , and with a voice like the oohoea
of a railroad convention , introduced
himself :
"Tzschucfc , the next president of
these United States will be in Omaha
to-morrow Thomas Francis Bayard ,
tbo honored son of Delaware , a gen
tleman , n scholar , an HONEST man ,
with peculiar cmphafi. on the ) o t
proposition. 'Yes you g. d. republicans
cans may laugh , but by the eternal all
heaven and hades cin't prevent it. "
and the old moaibick italicized the
revised edition by cracking hia knuck
les on the counter. 'Tho republicans
have been in loner enough , " ho contin
ued ; , "they have robbed the army ,
wrecked the navy , swindled the
widows and orphans of the war , and I
beltovo thoy'd steal the coppers oil
Columbia's eyelids , it the old qirl was
bid up long enough. There never
was before such n hungry pack of
thieves gathered together together on
God's footstool. They must go , " and
the profane disciple of T. J. meand
ered out into the bright moonlight and
dissapoarcd in the government build
