Holdingeito brief from the Equal Suffragist and not ex pressing tffe views of this pa per, a few reflections upon the rights of women at this time Bay be appropriately indulged from the standpoint, (1) expe diency, and (2) legality. Some years ago on. the bat tery in Charleston, the writer witnessed a storm and hri at tention was attracted to the %aves beating upon the sea wall protecting the city, and viewing thfL ugliness of this wind and storm beaten wall, -the thought occurred how com parable it was with man’s rela tions to world conditions, that^ served by him as aa the wall had become rough and uncouth, braving the atorms and standing between . the city and its ravages, its very hideosity, was its best guaran tee of faithful service; so man, in life's turmoil, stands be tween his women folks, and trials- and disasters of the werld. That however though- aaed and rugged he might be come, his very ruggedness es tablished within himself, and in the world’s estimation, • a veritable bulwark of safety and protection; and at night, After i sacrifice of their wives and t to do.the right things and let the consequences follow in God's own providence. i jf it be right that wohien should enjoy the ..suffrage, it should not be denied her, be cause in that exercise, majori ties may be increased or dimin ished to the betterment ojr oth erwise of American conditions., These consequences are apart. The single question is, is she un justly deprived of the exercise of an inherent right? For many generations, the English people were without stable government. Their rights were wholly dependent upon the whims and fancies of each succeeding monarch, and they were without law protecting their freedom of action, civi or religiouR. When they forc ed Magna Chart* from King John, their legal rights, for the first time were fixed and guar- pass that a government'should be formed, each agreed to a relinquishment of so much of their individual Sovereignty as might be necessary for the needs of the whole, but like King John, each reserved his individual Sovereignty beyond thit specifically released in the Constitution, but simply to respect it as a solemn contract between them and the Govern ment, representing however, not a conference of rights upon themselves, but as a relinquish ment of rights for the common good, whereas the people of England worshipped their bill of rights, as a Fetisch, as it con stituted the foundation of their liberties. In the great struggle for the creation of this Kingdom in anteed, but only such rights as were definitely stated in that paper. All other rights w’ere inherent to the King, and re contained within his Sovereignty. When our forefathers fled from this condition, they were animated by an ambition to enjoy free dom to its utmost, without grace of any king and without reservation. They fulfilled their destiny and established an individual Sovereignty for each, with recogntion of God Almighty alone as their Supe rior. This was accomplished after untold misery,' depriva tion and disappointment, and in their heart’s blood and the status? There is no statute of limitation running against insured peyson.
