AUFURAGE, To the Eattor of The Chicano Tribune : Cunieano, Apnl 1.—We now hiave an atfirmation !rnqn tha highest Judiclal anthority of the nation of the reductio ad absurdum to which tho womon Auilragivts lad already veen forced by lay arg- ment, viz.: that if they nequlred tho right to volo under the Toutteenth Amendment, thelr bahes-iu-armn hod sikewise hecomo ondowed with the franchice, Tha question comes from the United Statos Ctreuit Court nf Missonrd, “Tho claim waa that of 8 wotnan who insiated sho had o right to vote under the Fourteenth Amondmient, notwithatauding the suffrngo is esprowsly canfined to men Ly the Conmtint: of tho State of Missouri. The claim was bass 1 on the following clatise of the Fourtenth | Amendment to tho Coustitution of tho Unlied Btates: All persona born or natnralized in the Unitad Aiatrs, and subject t2 tho Juriadictivn thereof, are cittzens of the Cuited Staten ‘and of the Btate whrreln thoy ro- #ide. No Btats shill make or enforce any law which #hiati abtldge the privilgos or immunities of citizens of the Unfted States, nor alisll any Btats deyriva any peeron of life, lilerty, or property without duw 1o eean et luw, uor deny 10 any person within fte jurdis ton tha equal protectien of the law, Theraagon the *'ebrieking slatorhood " framed thin syllogism ¥ As percony born or paturalized in the United States, and subjact {o tho juriadiction thereof, WO aro citizena. Citizens of tha United Hlates are entitled to vote, and o State may abrulge their privileges or Immuvities. Zrgo, we ara entitled to vato, This was all very pretty and logical in form, and the only trouble abont it waa that the minor premiso was falso in onn essential, Citizenship of the United Statens does not carry with it tho right to vote. Women born or naturalized In the United States, and subject 1o the jurisdic tion thereof, have always boen citizeus ; but so havo their Labies slways boen citizeus, Under tho Fourteenth Amendment, no State may abridiee the privileges or immunities of women citizens, nor of baby citizenw. If the right to vota wera included in United States citizenship, no ftate conld pase a Inw presenbing 8 cortamn 8go under which no citizen should vote. Tho varv first quawk of the new-born babo might be for Mike Ivans for Town Collector, and he and Tom Feley wonld probably vie with each other in keopingup with the do- ings of the accoucheurs and mothly nursea for tio noxt few dsys, Lut, unfortunately for the enlargement of suffrage on thin gouctous Lasis, the Supremo Court reiterate unanimously that tho United Btatea han no voters, that suffrage in nat one of tho priviloges of United States citi- zonslip, and that the Hght to voto ia not aven co-extrnelva with Btate citizonship, Thus tho women and the Labies ara politically left out in the cold 3 aud some women will continuo to l;hflck and all babies continuo to squenl ag bo- ove, A verv ealient point made by tho Supreme Court wne, that, if the Tuurteenth Amendment had probibited ' the States from denving tho richt of nffiae toany citizou of the United States, tho Fifteeuth Amenamert would hava been altogether unnecessary, Bit in orler to confer the rizht of suifraze npon the negroes, this amendment waw formallv submitted aud adopted. Ttis: *“The right of citizens of the United States to voto shall not be do- uvied or abridred by the United Htates, or by any Btate, on_ accoant of race, color, or previaus condition of eorvitude.” 17 1t hind bean the parpose to include women and babies, it would Liave added: ** Nor on sccount of aither age, sex, or diseretion,” If the womon waut to obtain a general night to vote in cvery Stato and Territory, they must get a sixteenth amendment to that affuct, ‘Thera is now bappily no further question shont this motter. Tho qualifications of the legul voter ara detined by cach State foritwelf, subject ouly to tho restriction of tho Fiftcenth Amend- mient, which applivs ouly to the negroes in effcct. Let us havo no moro shrioking on this Four- teenth Amendment fallacy, and 1o more general ngitation of tho subfect. " If tirs, Cady Btanton and Mies Susan B, Anthony ean o far intluence the gallantry of the sterner sex In New York, the latter may grant them the right to voto in New York as tho obivalvous male jubabitants of Wyomng did. But let tho crusade Lo confined 1o Btates lerenfter, no thut thore communities freo from tho ** ahrieking sistethood " need not enduce uuy part of their harrowing outery. CLEANSING THE BIVER.
