LARKIN. One of the fundamental principles announced In the Declaration of In dependence Is that governments de rive their Just powers from the consent of the governed. How can the politi cal condition of women be reconciled with this? Government In the United States has power to tax women who hold property; to divorce them from their husbands; to fine, imprison and execute them for certain offenses Whence do these governments derive their power? They are not Just, a* they are not derived from the consent of the women thu* governed. Govern ment* decree to women in some state* half their husbands’ property; In oth er* one-third; In some a woman, on her marriage, I* made to yield all her property to her husband; In other*, to retain a portion, or the whole. In her own hand*. Whence do’ government* derive the unjust power of thus dis posing of property without the con sent of the governed? The democrat ic principle condemn* all tills* as wrong and requires the equal political rep- esentatlon of all rational being*. Children. Idiot* anil criminals during the time of sequestration are tile only fair exceptions. Th*. case is so plain that* 1 might close It here. But it I* Interesting to Inquire how so obvious a decision has been so evaded as to leave omen no political rights whatever, The question ha* been asked from time to time In more countries ihun one: How can obedience to the laws be re- lulred of women when no woman 1ms cither actually or virtually given any assent to any law? No plausible an- hns. a* far as I can discern, been jffereU, for the good reason ^that no plausible answer can be devised. The most principled democratic rlters on governments have on this subject sunk Into fallacies a* dis graceful us any advocate of despotism has adduced. In fact, they have thu* sunk from being for the moment advo cates of despotism. Jefferson say*: “Were our state a pure democracy, In which all the Inhabitants should meet together to transact all their business, there would yet be excluded from their deliberations: Infant*, until arrived at years of discretion. 2. Women who, to prevent depravation of inorals, could not mix promiscuously In public meet ings of men. Woman's lack of will and property Is more like the true cause of her exclusion from the rep resmtatlon than that which is actu ally set down against her. A* if there could be no means of conducting public affairs but by promiscuous meeting, as If there would be more danger In promiscuous meetings for political business than In »uch meet ing for worship, ft.r oratory, music, for dramatic entertainments, for any of the thousand transactions of civ illzed life. One thing Is pretty dear—that all those Individuals whose Interests are Involved In those of other Individuals may be struck off without Inconve nlence. in this light women may be regarded the Interest of almost all of whom are Involved either In that of their fathers or In that of their hus band*. The word almost In Mr. Mills’ second sentence rescues women from the exclusion he proposes a* !« there are women who have neither husbands nor fathers. His proposl tlon remain* an absurdity. The true democralc principle Is that no person’) Interest can be ascertained to be iden tlcal with those of another person This allow* the exclusion of none but Incapable*. The Inetrest of women who have fathers and husbands can never be Identical with their*. While there Is a necessity for law* to protect women against their husbands and fathers, this Htateifient Is not w’orth another word. Rome who desire that there should be an equality of proper ty between men and women oppose representation on the ground that po litical duties would be Incompatible with the other duties which women have to discharge. The reply to this Is that women are the best judges here. God has given time and power for the discharge of all duties, and If He had not, It would be for women to decide which they would take, and which they would leave. Hut their guardians follow the ancient fashion of deciding what Is best for their wards, and the best friends of half the human race peremptorily decide for them as to their rights, their duties, their feel ings, their power. In all these cases the persons thus cared for feel that the abstract decision rests with them selves; that though they may be com pelled to submit, they need not ac quiesce. It 1* pleaded that half of the human race doe* acquiesce In the de cision of the other half, ns to their GENERAL INSURANCE NEWS FIRE COMPANIES SEND REP OR TS TO THE ST A TE Semi-Annual Statements Showing Condition Being Made to Comptroller General Wright.

Dent, of Eufnuln, Ala., who has the largest Are insurance agency at that place, was in Atlanta Thursday. rights and duties, and some Instances not only of submission, but of acqui escence. The women of New Jersey went to the poll* and voted at state elections—1797-1800. The general term, inhabitant, stood unqualified a* It will again, when the true democratic prin ciple, come* to be fully understood. A motion was made to correct the inad vertence, and It was done, as a matter of course, without any appeal, as far as I could learn, from the persons about :o be Injured. Such acquiescence prove* nothing but degradation of the .njured party. It Inspires the same emotion of pity as the supplication of the freed slave, who kneels to hi* mas ter to restore him to slavery, that he may have his animal wants supplied without being troubled with human rights or duties. Acquiescence like this Is an argument which cuts the wrong way for those who use It. But this ac quiescence is only partial, and to give any semblance of strength to the plea —for one, I do not acquiesce. I de clare that whatever obedience I yield to the laws of the society In which I live Is a matter between not the com munity and myself; but my Judgment and my will. Any punishment Inflict ed on me for the breach of the law I should regard as so much gratuitous Injury, for to those laws I have never, actually or virtually, assented. I know that there are women in this country who agree with me In this. The plea of acquiescence is Invalidated by us. It Is pleaded that by enjoying the protection of some laws women give their assent to all. This needs but a brief answer. Any protection thus con ferred Is, under woman’s circum stances, a boon bestowed at the pleas ure of those In whose power *he Is; a boon of any sort Is no compensation for the privation of something else. The truth Is that while there Is much said about the sphere of woman, two wide ly different notions are entertained of xvhat Is meant by the phrase—the nar row and to the ruling party the more convenient notion 1* that sphere ap pointed by men and bounded by their Ideas of propriety, a notion from which any and every woman may fair ly dissent. The broad and true con ception is of the sphere appointed by God and bounded by the powers which He has bestowed. Thla commands the assent of man and woman, and only the question of powers remains to be proved. That woman has power to represent her own interest no one can deny. The fearful and absurd Images which are perpetually called up to per plex the question, the Images of women on wool sacks In England and under canopies In America, have nothing to do with the matter. The principle being once established, the method will follow* easily and under a remarkable transmutation of the ludicrous Into the sublime. The kings of Europe would have laughed mightily two centuries ago at the Idea of a commoner, with out robes, crown or scepter, stepping Into the throne of a strong nation; yet who dared to laugh when Wash ington's voice greeted the new world from the presidential chair. The prin ciple of the equal rights of both halves of the human race Is all we have to do 1th here. It Is the true democratic principle, which can never be serious ly controverted, and only for a short j time evaded, governments can derlx*# 1 their Just power* only from the con- 1 sent of the governed.
