Frauenstimmrecht.
1890, als solcher, in die Union aufgenommen wurde, womit
zugleich der thatsächliche Beweis geleistet war, dass der Ein-
führung des Frauenstimmrechts kein Artikel der Bundes-
verfassung entgegenstehe, sondern jeder Staat der Union,
oder auch diese selbst, es einführen können. Ueber seine
allgemeinen Wirkungen sprechen sieh offizielle Be-
richte wie folgt aus:

"Woman suffrage, although resting on equity, supported
by reason and confirmed by experience, has hitherto gained
but partial acceptance as a principle of political philosophy.
It commands more and more of public attention in many
portions of our own land and in other countries, whose poli-
tical institutions look toward freedom of the people. But
to-day the new territory of Wyoming is the only spot on
the earth where the political privileges of women are equal
and identical with those of men. It was a bold and gallant
stroke on the side of reason and of justice long delayed,
that act of our first legislative assembly; and what wonder
that the eyes of the world have been turned on Wyoming
ever since.

Elsewhere objectors persist in calling this honorable
statute of ours "an experiment". We know it is not, -- that
under it we have better laws, better officers, better institu-
tions, better morals and a higher social condition in general
than could otherwise exist, -- that not one of the predicted
evils, such as loss of native delicacy and disturbance of
home relations, has followed in its train, -- that the great
body of our women, and the best of them, have accepted
the elective franchise as a precious boon and exercise it as
a patriotic duty, -- in a word, that, after twelve years of
happy experience, woman suffrage is so thoroughly rooted
and established in the minds and hearts of this people, that
among them all no voice is ever uplifted in protest against
