Woman and Justice to Man.
In tne past, because of what wa
conimcnly call chivalry, men have
been at a disadvantage In many emer
goriotes
It scmetirr.es happens, for eiumnt.
that a man, in spite of his nobler d-
sires, iu compelled to go to law ilh
a woman. She commits trespass or
fai'.s to pay a deht. and there in no
remedy but a suit in court. How doe
It slund with the unhappy man who
brings the action? All his fellows de
nounce him as a brute.. The lawyer
iv.r.ke htm the butt of their antedi
luvian jokes and tho jury ctve a ver
dict against him withouv leaving their
Lents. Will it ho bo novv that women
c:;n vote? There will seon be fenial
!?.v,yer.j, judges and jurors. Will a
'vomau fare quite as well with a dozen
of her fair sisters to puss upon her
rights and wrongs as she does now?
Perhaps the will have a more diincult
rend to walk, but there will be com-
pulsations. Wen wl'l stand a far bet
ter chnnco of obtaining Justice wherw
women are concerned than they do at
pre-crt. Tears r.nd sobs are far mora
permmslve with a jury of males than
(hey are likely to bo with women.
