WOMEN IN POLITICS.
i l And, wheresoever thev smiled, the same
Enchantress of soul and frame,
Into whose hands, from first to mst,
This world with all its destinies,
Devotedly by Heaven seems cast.
To save or datum it, as they please.”
The whole cunfrv lias been reeding of the lloosevelt-Storer fiasco,
in which Mrs- Storm- was the chief participator. She was ambitious
and possessed great ability, However, it, seems that her vaulting am
bition has ovexleapnd itself, and now she has all the phials of the
wrath of the mighty Theodore p Hired upon her devoted head.
In reading of Mrs. Storey’s active participation in politics, her
efforts to entangle America politics with Romanism one is led to reflect
upon the pmt that women have played in formulating mid dominating
the political p olicies of the world.
Ik war, science, invention and the arts, women have played an
important part and have done much toward helping man to solve th«>s<
intricate problems. There have been female warriors uke Semirauiis.
Zcnobia, Joan DP Arc, and a few others. Mary Somerville and Maria
Mitchell have found their way into the higher regions of mathematic r
science, and expounded the laws of astronomy. Some have learner:
to sing in opera and oratoria. in a stv’e uhich shows an idealistic
conception of the soul of music, and soin** have c attested with Weg¬
ner and others for the palm of merit. There have b-*eii a few female
“statesmen," like Aspasia, Margaret <>f Navarre, Queen Elizabeth <>:
England, and Isabella, wife ot Ferdinand of Spain; but they always
regarded certain men us wiser than themselves. Yet. while woman
has exercised her faculties, and shown her abilities in the church, lit¬
erature, in art, lit the home, in war and even in the avenues of trade,
—she has proven, a disastrous and pre-eminent failure in politics.
She has had great influence, and it is this political influence we now
wish to consider.
Through many centuries women were positive political forces.
European history is replete with facts which disclose tmdblemonstrate
tiie extent and the character or her influence in the political sphere.
To break down or sustain dynastic interests, vast and guilty intrigues
-were carried on through her agency. The most detestable specimens
are to be found in conjunction with the most iniqutous schemes of
monarchs and priests. Ahab had his Jezebel; Anthony, his Cleopa¬
tra; Louis the Fifteenth, bis Pompadour. This wiley, astute and un¬
tiring Parisian “made and unmade ministers,” strirred up strife be¬
tween Jansemsts and the:r opp neuts and finaliy precipitated Europe
into a seven year's war. But she was only a typical character. Her
counterpart infested ev- rv court in Europe. It was a woman in poli¬
tic—Catherine deMedicis—who plotted and incited the massacre of St.
Bartholomew’s Day. A woman politician kindled the fires of Smith
field in England. The shame and scourge of Scotland was caused by
the beauty and political intrigues of a woman. And it was a woman
who, by her violent counsel and perverse ambition, brought the head
of her husband, Charles I, to the block.
So far as we have observed there is no evidence in this country
that woman possesses capability of the right sort to shape or control
politica. affairs.
A woman reasons irotn her feelings towards or against _ persons,
She always identifies a cause with some individual If she were to
have the decision of the great question of finance, tariff, etc., her final
decision would fall on the side of the man whom she liked.
W'otuen who are always clamoring for a place itt politics, the tight
to vote, etc , have no conception of what they are asking. If the re¬
quests and wishes of some of the women of the United States were
granted, great complications would arise, which would prove as disas
ttiOUS as those which have afflicted the old world.
They would not purify politics, as they claim, but would destroy
to a great extent, that reverence and esteem which we all feel for wo
menly women.
We have in our short experience come in contact with a few
would-be women political leaders and advocates of woman’s rights,
and we must ctmfess that we could not and did not entertain for them
that chivalry, respect and admiration, which we have for the queenly,
unassuming woman of the home, who strives to first regulate the little
but important sphere—called home.
If women desire to have a conception of what intelligent people
think of their little political escapades’ let them read the comments
upon the Roosevelt-Storer controversy.
As ior our part give us the Southern woman, who has r.ot yet had
