It is apparent to-day in the different codes of morals for men and women, difterent penalties for crime and in the dis- similar relations of the sexes to the Government. In marrizge woman is not legally her husband’s equal, for he has control of her person and in most instances of her earnings and of her minor children. She is rarely paid the same wages as man, even when she does the same work and does it as well, and she is the legal equal of man only where punishment and the payment of taxes are concerned. All these unjust inequal- ities survivals of %e ages of servitude through which women have passed, among all peoples of the earth, from the date of their historic existence. We boast of our advanced civilization in America and point with laudable pride to our schoals as its foundation. They are the corner stone of our free institutions, the everlasting granite on which our Government rests. For here are given the early training and discipline that tell through life and which are vital to the integrity of the republic. A Bureau of Education has been established by our national Government which carefully colleets and critically sifts all data pertaining to public school instruetion. Its high purpose is to place education on a scien- tific basis and to inciude all the children of the State In its beneficent provisions. The overwhelming majority of the teachers in the schools are women, cultivated, conscientious, hard-working, patient and unselfish. The high and normal schools are called Into requisition to fit them for their voca- tion, and the college and university train them in the special- ties they are expected to teach. After years of costly prepara- tion at home and abroad they are assigned to their various positions and begin their lifework. They are the equals of the clergy of the land in the correct- ness of their lives, their aims and Intelligence, and co-operate with them to bring in a nobler civilization. They stand on every round of tha ladder of learning, lifting the children and vouth of their charge to a development of whose existence many of the parents are unaware. They surround them with an ethical environmert in the schooiroom. There they breathe a’moral atmosphere. There they must be punctual, obedient, ever aid the political opposition could give wWas bestowed upon the gang which was try- — 2 ing to destroy Republicanism in its own temple.

We did not expect that the defeated plotters would be content to go back to the slums and stews, and burrow in the chscurity whence they issued to poison the great party with their septic sins.

So this was left to who, with admirable control and self-restraint, suppressed all effervescent and undigested utterances, and left the party free to accept the wisdom of the National Con-! vention, without having first to disown follies of its own creation. - For this the party is grateful, and girds its loins with better spirit for the great con- flict that is coming. - RF AUSTRALIA AND THE EMPIRE. NTING the Australian commonwealth | bill to Parlizment on Monday, Joseph Cham- | s for the Colonies, stated the | [ berlain, Seereta imperial Government is willing to accept the bill zdopted by the Australians, with the sole exception clause 74, which declares the Federal Court of Aus- tralia shall be the tribunal of final appeal on all ques- tions arising under the bill. That clause, Mr. Cham- berlain said, would zbolish the imperial veto and would virtually make Australia an independent re- . He announced that the Government would strike out the objecrionable clause, and for the pur- | of satisfying Australian sentiment would intro- a bill giving Australia, Canada, India and South of | fire, 2 publ ca representation in the Privy Couneil. I the policy be carried out the Privy Council become a court of the much discussed imperial fede- | sation. and may develop into something like a Sen- | ate. Each of the four great colonial groups is to have one representative, who is to hold office for seven vears. , Upon these representatives life peerages are to be bestowed, so that when their term of service 2s law lords of the Privy Council is over they will con- | tinue to sit as members of the House of Lords. The plan, it will be seen, is likely to prove attractive to the ambitious léaders of the colonies. It means that every seven years one cf them in each of the federated colonies is to attain a pecrage. It means, moreover, that in the House of Lords there wiil be hereafter a strong body of colonial statesmen to take | part in directing imperial affairs. Evidently such a policy is bound to be pleasing to men who see an avenue for their own advancement to higher honors | than they could ever gain in the colonies themselves, and it will be attractive, moreover. to all who have hoped to see imperial federation attained by men of this generation. Governments grow. Iastitutions do not long re- | main in the condition of their foundation. Colonial representation in the Privy Council and the House of Lords would either prove a useless concession to the, colonies, or it would develop into a vast power sooner or later, and as the colonies are vigorous and entes- prising, their representation would more likely grow | than die. Thus Mr. Chamberiain’s bill may be the Dbeginning of a governmental body destined to become | one of the most important in the world. In the meantime, however, it is doubtiul whether | the bill will be accepied. The Liberals in Parliament | have given notice of their opposition, and the Austra- | lians have shown no signs of consenting to it. In | fact, several of the Australian leaders have declared they will not consent to any aiteration of the meas- ure adopted by the vote of the Australian people. It is an issue which affects the world at large, for out of it there may come either a federation of the Brit- ish empire or the establishment of an independent Australian republic, and either event would have far- reaching cffects upon the course of history. years, or both.” here. our woods through tent is ificaiculable. lth: Union. about.

How do we compensate these faithful women teachers for their great work in behalf of the generations to come? The dusty years stretch far behind them, youth and comeliness drop away from them, and they grow worn and faded before their time. How do we pay them for the divine service they render our children while they are on duty? We pay them as we pay the small bookkeeper, the stenographer and the type- writer. Outside our large cities We pay them as we pay the chambermaid, the laundress, the housemaid. They are as thoroughly educated as the men with whom they are associ- ated, they do the same work and do it as well, and they bear as heavy burdens and responsibilities. And yet their salaries | rate a third, and sometimes a half, lower than those of the men with whom they teach. They are forbidden to marry under penalty of dismissal from office, and if their husbands drop into invalidism, or f any other cause are unable to support them, the women cannot be reinstated. In no other line of employment does this dis- crimination exist against married women. In Boston policemen and firemen are pensioned after they have served the city a specified number of years if they become disabled for furth-r employment. But when the teachers of Boston have petition:1 to be similarly pensioned and have presented a most feasibiy scheme for the creation of a pension fund to be contributed by the teachers themselves, they have thus far received no en- couragement and have only been granted “leave to withdraw.™ Undoubtedly one cause of the smaliness of the pay of women teachers is the crowded state of the profession. Tha supply far exceeds the demand. In sixteen of the Atlantie and Gulf States, according to the census of 1850, women largely outnumbered men. In Massachusetts there are 70,000 women in excess of men, a fact which has its influence in lowering tha wages of workingwomen everywhere. But Canon Kingsley compressed the whole truth in one sentence: “Hear me, women! You shall never have social equity till you have legal equality!'™ This is a truth as fundamental as that which underiies the To workingwomen. as to all women, the ballot is a necessity. Women must be made the legal equals of men in order to obtain the rights belonging to them as citizens of a republic. And the ballot is the only synonym of legal equality that a republican government can know.
