THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: MONDAY, MAKUI I, 1570. THE CILY. THE FLOOD. THE NORTH AIDE. ‘The condition of the streets in the Northern section of the cily, especially between Clark atreet and tho North Branch, and between Chi- congo and North aventes, is simply horrible. In tho long and varied history of Chicago mud, nothing lke it has beon observed or, at least, chroniclad, The middio of the stroots, partict- Jarly those on which railroad tracks aro laid, may bo callod impassable to anything except canal- boats oratroot-cars, ‘The guttors aro filled with mud and slash to a dopth of 2 or 3 foot in somo places, and perfoct rivera of liqnia mud aro flowing in nearly every alley-way. It would appear that tho soniler sawors aro choked up, for, vorily, all the wator sppeara upon tho surface, aud Noah's dove could nat find a foothold in most places on Chicago avenue nnd Lerrabeo street.

As it is, locomotion Is a task of tremendous dificnity in the reqion specified. Even the paved sirects aro no bet- ter shan they ought to be. No peraou can walk dry-shod upon thom. The side- walks oro, in many places, worse than tho strecta themeclves, tur, on tha North Side, nobody appoara to care about evforcing tho or- dinanco relative to sidewalks. Tho crousings are kueo-doep, with hardly an exception, oveo on tho very beat thoroughfsres, ‘The approach to North Stato street briigo is a dingrace to the city, and ouglit to be looked afier immediately. Inia almost impossible to descnibo the carnival of filth that provalln all over tho city, bat par- ticularly on the unfortunate North Side. THE WEST BIDE. The territory in tho West Diviston lying aouth of Monrco and west of Wood wtreot, wan almost impassable. In many cases entire squares werd submerged to a dopth of from threo to siz inchea, and as far as could bo secon across tho rairio vast shects of water were noticeable, A large forco of men wore at work during tha entico day cutting trenches through tho Jeo gorged, and clearing tho guttera, aud Jate in the afternoon the tide wan rapidly felling, an outlet having been vocursd by way of the Sixteenth street tunnol.

A search about tho vacant lot yester- ay, Dear where tho atrnggte occurred, revealed the railroad ticket, considerably torn, ANOTHER STABOING CASE. A flerce and sxnguinary encounter occurred botwoen two men yesterday morning, and came vory near reaulting in thedeath of one. Charles A, Colo, said to bo an induatrious and pencoable man, keeps a large boording-houso at Nos, 43 and 45 East Monroe streot, opposite the Palmer House, Last Tuesday, according to his state- ment, he hired a young man named George Brooks, at the Y. 3M. O. A. Employment Tiureau, and agreed to furnish him temporary occupation until ho could find moro suitable and sstceablo work. Cola snys he acted very sullen and choleric, and on one oF two occasions threatened tho female cook with an ax. It was lus duty to supply the cooking-stove with coal, but neglected to attend to it yesterday morning before breautaat, Colo took him ta task for his tardinces, and dlecharged him, aud he becamo abusive and threateved Lim. Profane epithets wore freely used, and Brooks ran into a hall- be educated like boys to do something useful, Womon must havo cqual chanoos with men, ae must bave fair play, aod like men must bo cligibte to all the honors of socicty and Gov- ernment. Give them oqual power to protect and provide for themselves, and let this be voatod In tho ballot. ‘Tho first step was to eee them in their citizen's right to vote, Virtuo and in- dependence went hand in baad together. Hero Miss Anthony quoted Alexander Hamilton, to the effect that the moment ho gavo up his indopen- denco ho Jost hie freedom. No one, argued Mes Anthony, doubted this as regardod the relatlo of man to mau, bur econted it utterly when applied to woman aud man, Yet this dependence of woman on man gavo him tho privilege to exact from hor a mach higher moral code than he was willing to admit for himself, while she waa powerless to exact a similar moral altitude from him, ‘Of the 8,000,000 women in this country over 21 years of age, 800,000 wore unmarried, or nearly one out of every olght, and fully ono~ half, or 400,000, of thesa aupported themselves wholly or in part, Theso women had togo to man, and sak the privilege of bard work and small pay, The tons of thousauds of young rirls soeking positions as copyiats, teachers, clorks or soamatreases had to ask mon for work. When thoy wero young and attractive, 4 storeo~ typed raply to this apponl was, ‘* You work for» living, young woman! You are too pretty, you should pet married.” Bho then related an inoldont which happened when che was editing tho Rerolution in Now Yorx. Ayoung girl of 17, the daughter of a Conneotiout farmor, did not wish to marry a young man whom her father desired hor to, After aho bad refused to dono, she no longer Way oute-room and got un ax and camo at | felt willing to dopend upon him for Colo with murderous jntent.

Bho received thirteen lottors in roply, twelve of them conveying to her iu tho mout unmistakable terme that if she would givo ber body and soul to hor employer, sho could find a gaod place, eto. nife, Heclaims that Brooks ran against tho blade, aud was not sware for an hour] And this was the gatutlet that every pure afterward that he had pbeon severely, qoane gitlhadsorun whosought for work at if not dangerously, woundad fu | the huodsof men. Toremedy this, Miss An- the roast, Brooks continued the fight, and Colo bit a pleco out of his right coeek, aud re- ceived a fow ecratchca ou hie face. Ho asserts that Brooks is a vicioug fellow, and he endoay- thony sald wo wanted womon, good and noble womon, everywhere where poor girls went to weok for tho mcane of subsistence.

Dwo or threo paitica who claim to have been ‘present st the- tight avsert that Coto was to blame, while three female soer- vauts who wero iu the kitchen at the lime corroborate Cole's statoment as given abovo, aud say that Brooks rushed toward the door with the ax, and came upon the knife in the freuzy of the attack ; that Colo didnot make apy thrust with the weapon, . Ofiicer Gargent arreated Cole, and locked him up in tho Armory. He was booked on two charges—aseault with a doadly woapon with in- tent to kill, and mayhem, Dr. Harsington, who attended Brooks at the Hospital, tho wound iy not dangerous, had married a misorably disslpated stego-man- sger who bad educated them for the business, put thom on the stage, and hed talon the lion's ehare of theirearuing. Silsy Annie had at last determined to start for horaelf. So long a8 she way under this man's rule she was insulted by both managers and employee, bubas® manager she had ouly received respect. Now that the men she employed were depondent upon ber for their salaries ubo enid, ** Not a single dog of them has over inuulted mo.” These sisters occupied a room next to Miss Anthony, and late atnighta knock was heard st their door and wome poor wretch bogged for two bits, just two bity, because ho was sick and wanted somo modicine, But dliss Aue was obdurate. Sho evidently had little faithin the man’s needa; told him he lad gambled away bis money ; that he should not havoe ponny, but to goto bed and bebavo bimeolf., Mia Anthon: was ovideotly not the only women who rojolcs over this turning of the tables; but she asked vory particularly what the indignities might not have boon which a woman would have bad to have suffered had aha boen obliged thus to ep- poal io a man oven for her rightful dues, Vecunisry independence, she argued, wan moral —_ power. uot only onablod ai poesessor to contro} morals, but it was hap- news. « Hore she quoted one of Goorge Sand'a heroes, who revor had been happy until when turns out ct bis rich uncle's house he was obliged to support himself, All Inxury wae gone, but he wroteton friend that ho had always sulfored fram being in a denondent position sithont ktiowing It, until he had learned the happiness atistug from indopondence. This, she said, was tlys position of all women, Bhe fouud ia a Westera city a beautiful young: woman whose fathor was a membor of Congress, and to whom a Iuzurious home snd all tho at- teactions of Washington woro open, Dot she preferred teaching, and told Mise Authony that the bapplesy moment of ber lifo was when sho recelved hor first month's nalary. Sheaftorwarda saw her father in Washington, and spoke to him about this noble daughter, but tho father did not view It from tho samo point. He naid, Mize Anthony, ‘ You Women's Rights’ vomen heve turned hor head. She has loft my home deno- Into forthe wake of this whim of boing inde- pendent.” ‘Miss Anthony added that if inatoad of leav- ing her homo to earn her own living, she had left for marriage and its relations, had chosen aman instead of horaolf, noither hor father nor tho world would have found tt strange. Sbe thought tt tras timo that puro women ree fusorl to enter into marriage relations with im- pure men, and if thoy had done so, and found thoae men to be impure after they had married then, thoy sliould refuse to continue in that re- lation. Thore had been enough of tho sickly sentimentalism of a woman promising herself to aman under such circumstances, Good women must bo frea to support them- selves if thoy would act nobly, justly, sud gon- erauely, In Sloux City the good wives conspired to butn down a house of ill-fomo which their husbands had oponed and placod therein a halt dozen unfortunates from 8t, Louis. Miss Anthony thought it would have been tho wleest part for them to havo turned against their busbanda instoad of theso women, Women belong to their busbands as itis, and tho truco rolation bo- twoon them coatd never be lerned until the wo- man bad ¢he same righta as tho mau, Woman had nover had tho piightest voice in the makin; of tholaws. Mon alone docided tho guilt on punisument of womon. Judgo, jury, and ad- vocates were all men. Even married womon wore donied tho privilege of tentifying as wit nesses in rogardto the crime that is alleged againat them by their husbaade, For 6,000 years man had proved his inability to put away his own iniquitios, or to provout transferring ,tho rosulta of thom to after gonorations, Woman must havo a chanco to try how. Thon, instead of feoling it ber Christian duty to live with a man who was impuro, slo would know that God'a curse will be upon her if sho did ao. Sho objected to women occupying themeelyes so much in Homes for tno Friendlcas, ssylume, aod various claritabte inatitutions instead of oman- cipating themselves, They wore absorbed in matters of obarity ; they ‘vero neither idle nor indifferont, but they worked without knowledge. Thoy worked against the effoct and not the cause. It was woman's dependence and subjec- thon that produced these ovila requiring charita- blo ald. ‘Iho wife must no longer echo Milton's Evo, God thy Jaw, thou mine,” ‘They must ovly obey God. Hiss Anthony thon spoke of meeting Dr. Van Meter, of tho Howard Mission School, ina Now York street car. Ho told hor that it bad always boon a matter of eurprisa to wim thot sho lad given heraclf up to mero ab- ulractions, and not to any practical worl. She replied by asking him if bis work was on tho decroaso. No, there wore fivo times as many moro clnidren to bo provided for thau a6 first, waa tho reply. Misa Anthony then told him that tho practical thing to do seemed to hor to do away with tho necossity for such missions, seylume, ctc.; that instead of making womnn au object of charity, sho waa putting her on that high plane where sho could support bor- cclf, Was not tunt more practical than taking caro of these children, and bringing thom up to the same useless life as thelr mothera had = boon = who produced thom? Miss Anthony told the Doctor sho thonght it was ho who needed to study philosophy and Jaw, and to go about dolog some practical work. I¢ was through woman's influ- cence thege results were to be reached. Bhe bolioved thst through woman tho world should bo saved. ‘fLen followed tho statiatics of tho dram-shops, gambliog-houecs, low concert- raloons end their inmates in this city, as given by somo mininter in thie city last fail, All who supported theso places might go to the polls save tho few women who were con- nected with them. Every low, debancbed wrotch who was intorosted in sustaining thom, and not & woman, no matter how puro, how good, might record a vote against them. The man might yoto, no mattor what his moral etalun, but not his virtuous, intelligent wite or mothor. Why was tho potition of tho 18,000 tromon in rogard to the Liquor law treated with acorn in this city? Many of theso men in power would no doubt have beon glad to help them, out their constituents demanded the repeal of the law. Hud theso women gone to tho ballot-box in- stoad, they could have recorded thelr protost. Ars. Harriet Williams, Room 32, of Oregon, formerly of Buffalo, one of tho oldeat moral re~ formers, had sought ont the abandoned, tho vite and wretched, in the worst portions of the latter city. She was protected by tho Mayor aud police until the next year's olection. Thon her schools wero broken up, her corps of women- workers insulted, and, when sho sppoaled tothe new Mayor, he told hor thst the reagon tho ozhor had not been ro-olected was because he had aided her in ber govd work, and that the clogs of constituents who elected public men woro opposed to it. “Tn that day," eaid Mra. Walllams, “Iran my head sgaiuat the ballot-box. If we women of Buffalo could bave gono thoro and voted, wo could havo kept our schools and continued our good work.” ‘Tho woman's. temperance crusado bad edu- cated the women into knowing their belpless- ness, ‘Temperance lecturers of forty yeara ago anid that if womon could have voted there would havo beon an enforced Maino law in overy Btste. Why was this wish of $,000,000 of citizena ignored, and that of the deam-sollor m-drinker allowed? Hight millions of poworless to obtalo a law thoy wishod for, and 1,500,000 made sovereigns, able to haya thoir own way in the matter! ‘Tha many in this caso belonged to tho pauper and holplosa class, because they bad nor political franchive. It was ugoless for woman to battle against these evils until ahohad political power, Archimides could have moved the world could bo have found the falerum for his lovor, Give the woman tho bal- lot fox ‘a fulcrum, and she would move the moral world, Three t necessities had been Jaid upon tho nation. First, a military necesalty at tho time of tho Repellion; second,ta political necessity which brought about the emancipation of tho Dogro i and pow, a third, a moral’ necessity, to enfrauchise the womon of all clasaos, The na- tion stood to-day morally at @ dead-lock, as it did before it deolared for tho emauolpation of the negro, or during the Rebellion, when it was obliged to acknowledge the necevelty of military poner. ‘Miss Anthony's locture was 8 powerful appeal for morality, and for womeu to be ralsed to tho political level of men. It was a ploa for tho goad, the strong, the falthful, tho educated wamen sgainet the ignorant, vile, and dobassod among men, Probably no woinan present but felt its power, aud not many men who did not epplau tho sontiments this woman, truo to her idess of right, unbesitatiugly utters aud acts upon.
