umner says,
"The true rule of interpretation under our National Constitution,
especially since its amendments, is that anything _for_ human rights is
constitutional, everything _against_ human rights unconstitutional." It
is on this line that we propose to fight our battle for the
ballot--peaceably but nevertheless persistently--until we achieve
complete triumph and all United States citizens, men and women alike,
are recognized as equals in the government.

NEWSPAPER COMMENT ON MISS ANTHONY'S TRIAL.

It is perhaps needless to say that whoever listens candidly to Susan B.

There is perplexity in the northern district of New York. It was in that
