Show Jirj.OE KlNUMi.N TO TUB UESf'L'P. The fjilowifg item has been going the newspaper rounds for months: Ab')ut twc-:hirds of the suits decided by the feuialu ju-tiecs of Wyoming are appealed, Mid the verdicts set a-ide. Women may b "marching on," as .Mi a Kdgeiton says in her lecture, but they are certainly not in sight ye. Finally the eagle eyo of one Doughs Doug-hs of Brooklyn, New York, alighting upon this fugitive, he determined to bring condign punishment upon its originator, by publicly and authoritatively authorita-tively cxpQ.-ing its falsehood. Mr. Douglass thereupon writes to J. W. Kingman, aniooiato justice of the Territory Ter-ritory of Wyoming, receiving from h m tho satisfactory reply that, of the large number of cases tried in that Territory Ter-ritory by women justices of the poace, only two havo over been appealed, and upon theso two the ladies were sustained sustain-ed in their decisions. Mr. Kingman gives the further flattering information that where in any town there aro both moo and women justiaos, the tho latter have by far the greater number num-ber of cases to try and give better satisfaction; sat-isfaction; adding that, in Wyoming, as well as elsewhere, thcro is a set of drones who want to crowd tho women out of nearly every place of profit and honor; but whenever and wherever woman has had a chance to bring her talent and her influence into fair competition com-petition with tho men in that Territory, Terri-tory, she has invariably appeared to advantage and all parties havo been boDofitted. All of which wo give, as in duty bound, for tho benofit, and encouragement en-couragement of our lady readers. |
