Startling Social Reform.
WHJLT THE MASSACHUSETTS W JMEN PROPOSE—
PLURAL MARRIAGES FOE THE INDUS
TRIOUS AND STEADY—THE
SURPLUS OF SPINSTERS
TO BE UTILIZED.
Forest Grove
PLANTATION.
[To the Editor of the N. Y. Daily Graphic. J
a subject of much interesting
WIKenthere of late years to decide what
shall be done with the surplus female popula
tion. When a stranger enters one of our
large manufacturing cities he is immediately
struck with the preponderance of the gentler
sex. They overflow our factories, fill our
stores, overrun our streets, and hasten by the
score to answer any advertisement for an
emylove. Once, the energies of a Massa
chusetts girl were bent on securing a
husband; now they are given to
getting a living. Once the young men
of the Old Bay State turned their attention to
agriculture and trade at home, but nowadays
they sell out their farms as soon as the old
folks are dead, and go West to build railroads
and concoct Credit Mobiliera* They do not
so much as take a wife with them, but leave
the maidens with whom they went hand in
hand to school, to live in single loneliness
and earn their own living. Thus, year by
year, the roll of unmarried women increases,
and the prospect for husbands grows more
gloomy. Girls thatj might become radiant
through motherhood, grow selfish and soured j
in mind, and wither and disappear like the 1
leaves of November. The native population
of Massachusetts lags far behind the foreign,
and statisticians grow appalled. Bat the
fault is not with the women, but is due to cir
cumstances and perhaps prejudice.
I use the word prejudice, because I under
stand there is a movement on foot among the
women of Lowell to petition the Legislature—
or, strictly speaking, to present their griev-
atfTffes—cn the subject of matrimony. For
some days there have been rumors of this
matter flying around the community, and I
have been at some pains to trace them out.
In doing so, I have been struck with the fact
that men and women speak freely now on
topics that were tabooed ten years ago. Even
the most refined women will talk interestedly
and unreservedly of marriage, love, social evil,
and all the questions which pertain to the re
lations of the sexes. There seems to be a fer
mentation beneath the surface which will
break out before long in an open move
ment towards larger liberty for both
man and woman. This is only my surmise;
but that it may not appear to be merely a
piece of guess work, I send you a copy of the
document above mentioned. It is one of the
most remarkable papers of the period. It
comes, too, at a strange time, when Mormon-
ism seems to be yielding to monogamic pres
sure from without, and Salt Lake City is pre
paring to accept the higher civilization of the
East. Yet in this connection it must not be
forgotten that a work on polygamy was pub-
islied in Boston some years ago, and was
greeted with words of approval by some of
the most eminent men of the seaboard States,
including Mr. George William Curtis, of your
city. The seed then sown was a small one,
but it appears to have taken root, and circum
stances have developed it into fruitage very
quickly.
The following is a copy of the petition pre
pared for submission to the State Legislature:
Lowell, April —, 1873.
To the Honorable the Senate and House oi
Representatives of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts: .
The undersigned, citizens of the State, re
spectfully set forth the grievances under
which they suffer as women who are not per
mitted to vote, hold any and^all offices, and
engage in the occupations opened to men,and
are otherwise restricted in the opportunity of
earning a living and herewith beg your per
mission to suggest the remedy for these evils,
upon which they pray your honorable body to
act.
The !w which now eoverns society na,jn,
practically, that women should be married,
should engage in work at their own homes,
and should look to their husbands for support.
On the other hand, the census shows that it
is impossible to carry out this unwritten but
recoguized law, for the reason that there is a
large excess of women in the commonwealth,
and many of the men of lawful age are idle,
vicious, incompetent or otherwise unfit to bo
the heads of the households. Yet your peti
tioners hold that the matter is not without
remedy. Prejudice and custom have decided
in favor of restricting the husband to a single
wife, yet without justice and authority, as we
believe. In the Book which lies at the foun
dation of all law recognized in this country,
there is no injunction against a plurality of
wives, while there are many examples therein
recorded in its favor. Men’s wives appear to
have increased in number in proportion with
their flocks and riches. Such a rule even now
holds in the land from which the Christian
nations received their religion.
Your petitioners have no desire to interfere
with the regulations of any existing house
hold, but simply to present their claims to
the marriage state for your respectful consid
eration. They deem it their privilege and
their duty to suggest the abolition of the law
against the marriage of a man to more than
one wife, in cases where it is evident that the
man is able to support the additional burden
laid upon his resources, They are aware
that it may take years to remove prejudices,
and that those who take a second or third
place in the household may be looked upon
with disfavor; bat confident that their pro
posed action will ultimately do away with
much of the social evil that afflicts and dis
tresses all communities, they are willing to be
the first to engage in the work of this reform
Society, which now insists that woman shall
be married and look to her husband for sup
port, will, alter mature reflection, counten
ance this effor* to carry out its laws practical
ly.
A Paris Journal is onr authority for saying
that recently at the Closerie des Lilas a lady
in very bad humor said, savagely, to a gen
tleman who Lad fixed his eyes on her for
some time, ‘-Why have you gaped at me for
an hour, fool?’’ “Ah, Madame,” replied the
gentleman, bowing very respectfully, “if yon
only knew how much you resemble my poor
monkey which I loved so much.” It is un
necessary to add that the gentleman returned
home sans eyes, sans hair, sans everything.
Chief Justice Butler, of the Connecticut
Supreme Court, it is stated, is about to re
sign cn account of ill health. His term
would expire by reason of age in February
next. It is reported that the Democratic
leaders have planned that Judge Seymour
shall succeed to the place for the remainder
of his term, and that Judge Park, the senior
member of the Court, shall then become chief
judge.
The Cincinnati Commercial has been reck
oning up the profits of beer—to the seller.
It is supplied, it says, to the saloons at $2 a
keg, and the average number of glasses
drawn per keg is over 100, an expert saying
that when he was in the business a keg was
good for 105 glasses. At five cents per glass
this would give $5 25 per keg, yielding a
profit of $3 25. *
The Macoupin (Illinois) Inquirer says that
a Green connty young lady, who is worth
thirty thousand dollars, recently refused to
mar. ■£ clergyman because she thought she
to be the wife of a minister. He
^andoned bis sacred calling and pro
posed again. The second time she refused
Lis offer on the ground that she was too good
to marry a man who would throw away his
clerical robes to win a woman’s hand.

which causes such a long list of suffering.
In every form of scrofulous, mercurial and consti
tutional blood complaints, it stands without a compeer
rapidly curing ulcers, pustules, carbuncles, sca.d bead

C CHEROKEE INDIAN BITTERS POSSESSES AN
j energy which seems to communicate new life to
the system, and renovate the feeble, fainting powers
of nature. Its operation upon the tissues of the body
does not consist in affectiug the irritability of the liv
ing fibre, but in imparting a sound aud healthy stim
ulus to the Vital Organs.
It strengthens substantially and durably the living
powers of the animal machine; is entirely innocent
and harmless; may be administer*d with impunity to
both sexes, aud all conditions of life.
There is no disease of any name or nature, whether
of old or young, male or fomale, but that it is proper
ito administer It, and if it be dono seasonably and pre-
Iservingly, it will have a good effect. It is perfectly in
credible to those unacquainted with the Bitters, the
facility with which a healthy action is often in the
worst cases restored to the exhausted organs of the
system; with a degree of animation and desire for food
which is perfectly astonishing to all who perceive it.
This Medicine purifies tho blood, restores the tonic
power of the fibres and of tho stomach and digestive
organs; rouses tne animal spirits, aud re-auimates the
broken down constitutions of mankind.
