The mere fact that such sentiments as are found in the above article are puhlishtd. is conclusive pnsif that they represent the feelings of at least a pari of the i>coplc of Kansas, and speaks very poorly for the honesty of the jsHiple of that State. With the advocacy of such unblushing rascali ty it is not to be wondered at that money is scarce with them, and if it were scarcer it would lie just what they deserve.

The advocates of the free coinage of silver would do well to War in mind that the most earnest advocates of the unlimited coinage of silver are the silver kings of the West, the men who own the mines, and produce tin- silver. Of course it adds very much to their wealth for the government to take alsmt seventy-five or eighty cents worth of silver, and stamp one dollar on it for their Win-fit. This of course helps to concentrate the money of the country in the hands of the few, and the silver producers want the government to give them the same help it so lavishly Wstows on the protected manufacturers. The jinpers and sja-akers who support this measure do not see lit to give the arguments of the-siPer kings. Of course this would not help the hill. It would Ik- well fur the nu-mliers of the Alliance who wish to jierpetu ate the organization, and make it a potent factor for giKKl, to seriously consider the propriety of admitting t) membership a whole lot of office seekers—men who care nothing what ever for its welfare, hut who would wreck the whole order w ithout tin- least compunction, provided ‘hey could serve their own selfish ends thereby.

For this and this alone nature has differentiated her from man, and built her up cell by cell and organ hy organ. The continuance of the race in healthy re-production, together •vitli the lit nourishment and the eare of the young, afte-r birth, is the ultimate end of woman as such, and whatever tells against these function* and reduces either her power or her perfectness is an offenv against tin • tiro a- da wrong done toMK-iety. If she chiKises to decline her ua- t tral office aliogetlier,and to dedicate • i other services a life which has n< sympathy with the sex of humanity, that conics into her lawful list of preferences and discords. But neither then nor while she is one with the rest, a wife and moth«r like others, is she free to blaspheme her assigned functions: nor to teach the young lo blaspheme them; nor yet to set afoot such undertakings as shall militate against the healthy performance of her first great natural duty and her first great social obligation. The cradle lies across the door of the (Killing iNNithand liars the way to the senate. We can conceive nothing more disastrous to a woman in any stage of maternity, expectant or ac complished, than the heuted passions and turmoil of a (ihlitical contest; for we may put of court three fallacies— that the vote, if obtained at all, is to Ih- confined to widows and spinsters only; that enfranchised women w ill content themselves with the vote and not seek after active office, and that they will bring into the world of |iolit ics t lie sweetness ami light claim- oil for them by their adherents, and not, on the contrary, mid their own shriller excitement to the men's deeper passions. • Nor must we forget that the fran chise for women would not simply gotiatious preceding the contraction J allow ^ few well conducted, well Gov.

Thus cquipiH-d and stimulated, they were easily triumphant ill the arena of constitutional and (Kilitk-ul discus sion over o|i|Hincuts who, not only ha I no great material interest at stake, hut who, iK-eording to Dr. Drii|K-r, their eulogist, had given their Ik-sI energies not to the •tm| i V of law and polities: hut of theology. But in a contest with antagonists whose “tone of thought and bias of mind" was theological rather than political, it was inevitable that the (mnstitu- tiona' and legal argument should la- met with a moral orquasi rheological one. Acconlioglv. we stain find the real leaders of Northern sentiment asserting that there was a t'hjglu-r law” than the Constitution of' the United States, and denouncing that instrument as jf “league with death and a covenant with hell.” This Ih- ing a practical repudiation of all coiislitutional restraint, the logical, and indeed Ihf inevitable next and last step was djsui,i„„ ;;|pj an ap|H-al to arms. After a struggle i,f fum y-ears “iiumlwrs and the strut g arm” prevailed, ami the South lost op the field of battle what she had easily defended in |Kilitical discussion. Frankly and cheerfully accepting 'he irreversible decree pronounced by that last of all earthly arbiters, Die sword, the Soutli cannot and will not accept the untrue and absurd accounts of this great struggle and of Southern character and Southern civilization given by writers who either do not know the facts, or who fail to apply to them the plainest principles of “historic interpreta tion.” A* the same time, renieniVr- ing, tiiat lUK-ording to the theory wc oe at) vacating, opinions an-, !n .-i great measure, the rgsnlt of previous training and “ouvjrumuept,-” we should feel towanls mu-li ;iiii|' a)| of these so-culled historians no other sentiment than that so tinclvexpress ed by Carlyle: “If he seek Truth, is hi.- not our Imilher and to Ih- jiitied?
