Thera are the men usnshly who are ready ta dcèra h1 womauw do mot _know enab evoa WOMAN'S FRANCHISE. We think ourseivea happy that the time has arrived when we are permitted to freely express nome af the thoughts that have beau suppress8d for montlhs, yea Yeats, with reggrd to the ail import- ant question: "Woman-'s suffenge or franchise." Wa do flot wiah you ta infer from aour remarks that we conoider ail men bias bigots, and ail women pure and uprigbt. We are convinord that there are many men who are as npright and honest ini their convictions as il in possible, while there are many women, wbo are, we griava ta admit, as vile andi as unprincipitd ais ignorance aud prejudica cau make them. What we wish le ta look at Ibis questlo.n fromn a general standpoint. Wby women should vote ?-Because womau like men wera creatad in the Divine Image-therefare she is a fitting helpmate and companlon for man, stand- ing on an equal footing naturaliy, endowed wth the saie mental capacity, as it bas beau damasstratad again and agaiu. Look into our Young People's Soclatias, aur Christian Endlaavors, our Epworth Leagues, aur Sunday Schools aud churches, and yon will fiud thv most indefatigable, activa, enargeti ansd painataking, are flot as a mIle aur young ruen, but in naarly every casa, Our Young woman., If we look luto aur public schools and samînarias, In fact evary avenue that bas been opened to woman, we find she bas provad beyoud a doubt, that ahe is aqual to and cau hold bier own wltb ber bmaober masn on the intellectuai platforim every lime. This being so she certainly bas a privilage givan ber by ber creator. We dlaim'man bas no right to deprive ber of belping ta make the laws that touch ber an avery side wîthout oh. taining ber practical consent. We bear il everywhara argnad, women are ual competeul to vote- tbey lack in j udgment, tbay are too aasily influenced, snd do not make a study of tbe political question. We ssk, wby should se while tbings are as they are I Giva ber a cbance, and abhi, as in other things, will prove that accepting tbe respanslbilîý ty ahe will show lier capablity. Again we ask, do ual tbe wives and daughters of aur landi display as mach judgmant aud discretion as aur Indiaus, Quebacars and comman treet tramnas. who rava rula, they would arise sud prove Ibein- salves equal ta thesa dutîes, sbawing by precapt aud example Ibat men and womau are true helpinatas sud comapan. ions at home sud sbroad, lu the polîtîcal field sud lsawhare, unitadly supprassing and crushlug ouI the avils, unitadly briuging in sud upboldiug tbe good, always using tbeir unlted powers for the good o nainusd the gîory ai God.
