THE SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION WILL
CONVENE THERE THIS YEAR.
Though tlie Movement Seems to Have
(iaineit Ground In Certain Quarter*, No
Star* Have Been Added to the Saflkage
Flag Since tin; I.a*t Convention.
The convention of the National Wo-
man's Suffrage association to be held in
Atlanta from Jan. 31 to Feb. 5 will be
not nntinged with sadness. The dele-
gates will be happy indeed in mooting
together again and will have some prog-
ress to report, but their happiness will
be somewhat tempered by the fact that
much less of progross has been made
since the last convention than was cx-
peoted, for no new stars have been add-
ed to the suffrage flag. The voters of
Kansas rejected tho'oqual suffrage prop-
osition, and the constitutional conveii-

tioii of Now York declared against even
submitting it to the people.. What is
worse, it. is feared in some quarters that
the action in New York was more than
merely negative. It was of such a nature
as to perhaps delay all possibility of tho
suffragists winning in the Empire Stato
for yet another term of years.
On,the other hand, the record of tho
year just past is not altogether disheart-
ening. The right to vote was generally
exercised for the first time at tho last
election by tho women of Colorado, and,
according to the reports, with as much
intelligence at least as tiiaf displayed by
the men. In Illinois also the women
voted for tho first time, though only for
one state officer, and as intelligently
as did their sisters of full suffrage privi-
leges in' Wyoming and Colorado, and
• whorover they are entitled to a voico in
school matters women have turned out
in force duringlTie past year at tho polls.
Miss Anthony, Mrs Stanton, Mrs. Blalco
and the remainder of the old guard, who
will meet at Atlanta this year, will
thereforo bo able to congratulate one an-
other because some forward stops have
been taken.
It is doubtful if even Miss Anthony
dreamed, when, as a - young girl, she
stood up, more than 40 years ago, on
the floor of tho New York State Teach-
ers’ association convention at Rochester
and demanded for tho women of that
gathering the right to take part in its
deliberations, that she would live to see
women in possession of equal citizen-
ship anywhere. But there is no doubt
that when Wyoming conferred tho suf-
frage on women she looked for a rapid
spread of the same liberal policy
throughout the United States. Tho hope-
lessness of the case apparent in her
youth had then changed to roso colored
prospects of success, though subsequent
events have not fully justified her an-
ticipations, and the great majority of the
states are as they wore twoscore years
ago—the men only are citizens and wom-
en are not yet admitted to voting pttvi
leges.
It has been Miss Anthony’s chief
hope, during the last decade and a half,
that she might live to witness the con-
ferring of the suffrage upon the women
of her own state, Now York. In 1880 it
seemed to her and her coworkers that the
hour of their victory was nigh, for they
bad tho promise of a majority of the
votes in the assembly for the suffrage
measure then up. Bat tho promises were
not fulfilled and after 1880 it was not
until 1894 that Miss Anthony again be-
came hopeful. It did seem to her, how
over, during last spring and the carly
part of the following summer that there
were grounds for believing the end to
be in sight, as for (lie first time in tho
history of tho movement that conserva-
tive element, tho society woman, took
up tho cause.
No one who reads tho newspapers will
forgot the delighted surprise with which
,tlie voterau suffragists welcomed th

fashionable sisterhood to their ranks
nor how tactfully and often' at great
violence to their own personal prefer-
ences these same veterans left the con-
duct of the campaign in the city of Now
York and other Empire Btato towns to
the society women. It is undoubtedly
true that tho suffragists in New York,
both the old hands and the raw recruits,
confidently expected success in the con-
stitutional convention in spite of the
counter meeting held by some women
who did not want to vote. Tho conven-
tion had only to give the word for the
submission of tho matter to the DebDle
nt tho fall elections, and it was believed
that President Joseph Choate, the cul-
tured and brilliant leader of tho New
York bar, would throw his immense in-
fluence on the suffrage side of tho bal-
ance. But, alas and alack! shortly after
the opening of the convention Mr.
Choate expressed himself as decidedly
against woman suffrage* and a substan-
tial majority of the delegates followed
his load, defeating the proposition, so far
as a constitutional amendment is con-
cerned, for another 20 years. In spite of
tho fact that she is yet vigorous in mind
and spirit for one of her years, Susan B.
Anthony can hardly hope to live to see
another constitutional convention in the
state of New York.
One of the most interesting of tho
many bright and clever women to bo
present at the Atlanta convention is the
was a German political refugee, settled
in Now York, where they were married
in 1878. He is now a man of great emi-
neuoo in his profession, as is shown by
tho fact that ho was chosen to head tho
American delegation to the recent inter-
national medical congress.
If the speeches made at the last din-
ner of the Pilgrim Mothers in New
York be an indication of the feeling on
the part of the suffragists toward Joseph
Choate, that gentleman will probably b«
handled without gloves at Atlanta.
Nearly every speaker referred. to Mr,
Choate in a more or less sarcastic or
critical manner, and Mrs. Stanton went
so far as to recite some disparaging
rhymes about him and his action as pres-
ident of the convention. Naturally
among the chief features of the work to
be done at tho coming convention will be
the laying out of a future programme,
and if it is possible to devise any sclieni i
for making tho year 1895 and those that
follow interesting to Mr. Choate it wi l
■jo doubt he brought forward and in-
dorsed. Charles Appleeke.

Tho person who became famous in tho
annals of America as “The Man With
tho Branded Hand” was a Captain Jon-
athan Walker. He was born at Har-
wick, Mass., in 1799, and died at Lako
Harbor, Mich., on April 20, 1878. On
Juno 28, 1344, he attempted to steal
seven slaves from the coast of Florida,

Japan, in spite of her mistakes, stands
for light and civilization. Her institu-
tions are enlightened. Her laws, drawn
by European jurists, are equal to the
best wo know, and they are justly ad-
ministered. Her punishments are hu-

ideas are our own. China stands for
darkness and savagery. Her science is
ludicrous superstition; her law is bar-
barous; her punishments are awful; her
politics are corruption; her ideals are
isolation and stagnation.
In thousands of Yamens throughout
China men are tortured every day, hung
up by the thumbs, forced to kneel upon
chains, beaten with heavy bamboos,
their ankles cracked, their limbs broken.
Every week men are publicly crucified
and hacked to death by the “thousand

tension of tho sway of tho latter rather
than that of the former without avow-
ing himself a partisan of savagery?—
