Show W0 MAN '230 thropy and intelligence of the country," as senators said upon the floor, In presenting td this Congress the petitions asking for a constitutional amendment protecting women citizens in their, right to voterthat the Senate Committee on Privileges and Elections gave three minutes to these petitioners, to the final decision of this vital question; three minutesl at the close of the session, and at the closo of the day, in the twilight ; hour, when even bats and owls begin to see clearly and to roam forth on their nightly haunts, and after this three minutes of consideration, two of 'which might have been consumea in the roll call, and the third in awaiting the arrival of the tardy chairman, this committee of the .lighest legislative body in the land, 6voted down the woman suffrage resolution to 3. They who voted in favor ol the 16th amendment are Senators Hoar, Mass.; Mitchell, Oregon; Cameron, Wis.; Nays, Wadleigh, N. H.; McMillan, Minn,; Saulsbury, Del.; Merrimon,J3. a; Hill, Ga.; Ingalls, Kansas. e In the other House the Judiciary were promptly in their seats. Five members- - of this committee, Lapham, of N. Y.f Lyude, of Wis., Frye, of Me., But. ler, Mass., Conger, Mien., eminent Judges, able Lawyers and honored Statesmen rose to vote early in the morning, Feb. 5, 1878, Yes on the constitutional amendment for women. Five more rose early in the morn Ky Hart-ridging of the same day, Knott, Ga.; Stenger, Penn- McMahon, O.r Culberson, Texas, to vote No on the rights of women. The eleventh Hon. gentleman, Harris, of Virginia, for some reason, did not rise that eventful morning, and there our question lies waiting for him to get up In both Houses, and make his toilet therefore, our question Is pending. In the , Senate upon the calendar, waiting for some uauu invf na it nn and foiice it before uiu v u mar that body for debate and action. In the House our question rests on that tie vote. The days are rapidly passing, and what shall be the record on this question of the statesmen of the 45th Congress. In each of these Houses are men of sterling Integrity, who have served the men of their States faithfully and well Yet these men have deserted them and turned their allegiance to new heroes lifted out of obscurity by the last election. To these men elected to retirement we appeal. You are writing many of you the last chapter of your public career. "What page shall the mothers and daughters of this republic find therein, to which they can proudly point and say: "Thiswas for us." As the years roll on and bring to us victory at last, the men who have helped to fight our battle will be proud of their old time loyalty to woman, and their courage in facing a false and wicked public sentiment, to'so amend their laws and constitutions as to make all citizens equal before the law. The air of Washington is heavy with the wrecked hopes of disappointed statesmen, of those who led by personal ambition and party allegiance, have sacrificed principle to expediency. They only hold a place in the hearts of the people, they only aro immortal who live not for themselves alone, but for all humanity. , Com-mltte- e, mt To soil others is no way to mako our- selves clean.
