Even Mrs. BeLva LOCKWoop is now learning the truth of this text by sad experience It is true that as yet the political slanderer has been able to do her put little harm. He began his nefarious | work promptly after her nomination by publishing the hideous falsehood that her back hair was not her own original hair. Several ministers (who had, however, previously resolved to vote for Mr. BLaINk) thereupon wrote. letters saying that in order to pre- serve the sanctity of the American Comb they should be reluctantly compelled to withhold their votes from a woman whose hair was not sincere and truthful; and the opposition journals generally took the ground that no candidate whose back hair was false could possibiy be worthy of the Presidential office. Mrs. Lock Woop, however, promptly proved that her back hair was not only genuine but that it was of exceptionaily fine quality, and her vin- , dication was 80 complete that her loath- OL CACO PLLVULGALULY ALS UUGLLUY » BA LCL Vabin dication was so complete that her loath- some libelers were effectually silenced. | A little later it was chatged that Mrs. ! Locxwoop had, while acting as attorney | in a case before a Justice of the Peace, corruptly attempted to bribe the Justice with caramels. The story was told in a very plausible way, and even the very flavor af the caramels was mentioned. This libel, like the back _ hair libel, enjoyed only a very brief existence. Mrs. Lockwoop frankly admitted that | at the time, and in the circumstances t specified, she did offer ‘three chocolate f caramels to a Justice before whom she § had appeared as an attorney. She proved, : however, beyond a shadow of doubt that : the caramels in question were offered to § and accepted by the Justice after the case § in which she had appeared had been.tried f and a verdict rendered against her.< The § pretense that the caramels were given J with intent to corrupt was thus over- j thrown, and since that time all attempts ? cal & “ § 4 Re} \ aati | ag de So ARG OLA a Jetk Woo, ORE and a verdict rendered against her.‘ The pretense that the caramels were " given -with intent to corrupt was thus over- thrown, and since that time all attempts | to show that Mrs. LocKwoop is tattooed have been abandoned. | There are, however, other things than libelous accusations which can make a Presidential candidate miserable, The divided skirt question is now depriving Mrs. Lockwoop of sleep. . As is well known, many of the women who advo- cate woman’s suffrage wear skirts of the ordinary pattern, while others wear either | divided skirts or trousers. If Mrs. Lock- woop pledges herself to support the great divided skirt reform she will receive the . enthusiastic’ support of the divided skirt | wearers, but she will lose the confidence of the wearers of ordinary skirts, while an opposite | but equally disastrous result | will follow any act on her part which openly identifies her with the ordinary skirt party. For some days the woman’s | suffrage women have anxiously waited for Mrs. Lockwoop toe commit herself on the divided skirt question, but as yet she has refrained from so doing. The position ofjthe candidate is cer- tainly an embarrassing one. In the East, where the ordinary skirt is worn, her ad- vocates represent her as a determined enemy of divided skirts, while in the West, where the divided skirt is popular, alleged photographs showing her in the act of wearing a divided skirt are circu- lated. Mrs. Lockwoop had’ seriously thought of extricating herself from diffi- culty by a sunstroke, but her friends con- vinced her that to do any good a sun- stroke would have to last until election day, and that in such case a large number of women would refuse to sitpport a can- . didate who had been. dangero ly ill for | two months. In these circumstances Mrs. Lock woop | is said to be writing a lettec in which she | takes the ground that the divided skirt is | a local issue and that by no act of hers shall it be dragged into the field of nation, ,/ al politics. ‘‘ The skirt;” remarks Mre. | Ff g aa? plain her reluctance either to adyocate or Pen oot the divided skirt, and will re- | ‘move one of the worst voxations « of the ett isa painfol duty to inform Mrs. Locr- /woop that she is mistaken. The divided skirt is not 8 local issue. In the opinion ‘of its advocates the divided skirt presents | - an issue of paramount national importance, and they. j indignant at the fair can-| didate’s attempt to belittle-it. They will ! believe that she is either opposed to the | divided skirt or that she is willing to sac- : | rifice it for the sake of the political sup- port of its opponents. The latter will ace cuse her of cowardice in refraining from i denouncing the divided skirt, and. will ber lieve that she is seoretly,in favor of it.” Thus she will succeed in displeasing both factions and in pleasing nobody. : : Mrs. Lockwoop cannot command suc- : cess by trickery. She did not descend to trickery when the genuineness of her bac 2 hair was called in question or when the | caramel libel was published. ‘Eet her be as honest and courageous now as she was | then, Let time ascertain which of the : two gkirt factions is the larger, and then : let her fearlessly and as a matter of -prin- » 4 command respect even if she dées few votes. eda Bot i its cause.

After puplisbing the Equal-Rights “official letter” and its nominee’s “letter of acceptance” in full, the National Republican says,” Mrs. Lockwood lives at 619 F street, in a neighborhood where business houses and professional offices are struggling with the old residents for possession. A reporter of Tun RepvusBuican, anxious to discover whether Mrs. Lock- wood was fully nerved to endure the inevitable flood of scandal and calumny which follows a nomination for the presidency, called at her residence last even- ing. He was informed that the candidate had gone, in a auiet way, without pomp or especial ceremony, to call upon friends on Capitol hill. Mrs. Lockwood was found this morning by a Star reporter seated in her office, with eHents about her and showing no signs that the presidential lightning had struck her.’ After receiving the congratulation of her visitor, "gg: which a candidate for President should exhibft, she remarked that she had no idea of this nomination until the letter arrived from Marietta Li.

It can only result in making her and her sup- porters ridiculous. As candidate of a disfranchised party, she will serve us an ilnstration for the argu- ments of those who oppose the enfranchisement of women on the ground that they seek the ballot as the means to gratify personal ambition for political dis- tinction.— Vastra, in New Nortiuweest, Sept. 11-84.

Mrs. Lockwood laughed merrily at this supposi- ion, and assured the reporter that she had not. “Will this nomination receive the support of the women suffragists?” continued the reporter. “Certainly not,” was the emphatic reply. “You must remember that the women are divided up into as many factions and parties as the men. There is the Women’s Christian Temperance union, Under the leadership of Miss Frances WillarJ; there are the suffragists, headed by Mrs. Stantou and Miss Antho- ny, and there is the American party, controlled by Mrs. Livermore and Mrs. Blackwell. Now, the po- litical situation is just this: Miss Willard united the temperance women with the prohibition party at Pittsburg, and had a plank inserted to catch the suf- fragists; but the latter, finding that they were going to play second fiddle to the temperanc @ people, ¢ eame out for Blaine and Logan.

The establishment of the principles that a woman may be nomina- ted and elected President of the United : | States, and the opportunity that this move- ment gives us to disseminate our views, is calculated to do a vast amount of good.

LOCKWOOD. For the Herald. : The August Number of W. H. of I. is before me. It has so much of the true earnest ring of justice and right in it, without fear or favor, that I am sure that it must do good wherever it goes. Why not nominate women for im- portant places? Is not Victoria Em- -press of India? Have we not among our country women persons of as much talent and ability? Is not history full of precedents of women rulers? The appointment of Phoebe Cousins as Assistant Marshal of St. Louis is a keeping with her education and pro-P fession,—is suitable, legal work, and} will have a softening and retining in- flnenee on the eviminal elasses of tha City.of St. Louis, and the attaches of the Court. There should be more ap- pointments of the same sort. If, women in the States are not per- mitted to vote, there is no law against their being voted for, and if elected, ailing the highest office in the gift of the people. Two of the present political parties which have candidates in the field be- lieve in woman suffrage. It would have been well had some of the candi- dates been women. There is no use in attempting to avoid the inevitable. The Republican party claiming to be the party of progress, has little else but insult for women, when they ap- pear before its “Conventions” and ask for recognition. Note for instance the Resolution on Woman Suffrage pre- sented to their Convention on the 5th of June. It is quite time that we had our OWN PARTY; OU OWN PLATFORM, and owt own, Nominees.

Lockwood was born in the Enpire State in 1830, and at the age of fourteen commenced teaching the village school. At eighteen she was a bride, marrying Uriah H, MeNall. After several happy years she was left a widow in 1853, with one daughter, Lura, who has since become famous in literature as Lura W. Ormes. The war and its underlying causes engaged Mrs. McNall’s earnest sympathies. Her time and influence were spent in aid- ing. the soldiers. After the strife had terminated, she resumed teaching un- til 1868, when she was married to the late Dr. E. Lockwood. After her mar- riage she still industriously pursued her studies, and in 1870 obtained the degree of A. M. from Syracuse Uni- versity. Having been refused admis- sion to study law at Columbia College, Washington, she entered the National University of the same city, and, after much difficulty, obtained her hard-won diploma. September 23-73, she was ad- mitted to practice at the bar of the Dis- trict of Columbia. Among some of her well known ef- forts are the presentation to Congress of a petition for the passage of a pro- hibitory law for the District of Colum- bia, signed by one thonsand persons. She supported a measure which gave women employed in public service the same compensation as men. She, with others, signed a memorial which was presented to Congress, in which a dec- laration is made that woman is enti- tled to the ballot. She presented, through Benjamin F. Butler, a peti- tion signed by thirty-five thousand people, demanding suffrage for her sux. Shepeadeved valuable assisiaice to Mrs. J. W. Stow, in her efforts, be- fore Congressional Committees, to ex- ecute an amendment to the Probate Law system, in regard to the rights of widows and orphans. These are buta few of her many efforts in behalf of woman. She has thus labored for the elevation of woman in every way, shape and form; nor have her labors been confined to one section. Notwith- standing this gigantie work, she has been able to win a notable success in crowning triumph of her life, after years of unsurpassed effort, was on the third of September, 1879, when, on mo Supreme Court of the United States. Her speech on this question before the Judiciary Committee of tha House was convincing and powerful, carrying the Committee with her by the force of that eloquence which is born of right. She has not only identified herself with womaw’s rights, but with temper- ance, peace and other great moral movements of theage. She has shown an energy never before surpassed; a calniness in defeat worthy of a hero; a moderation In victory indieaiive of true greatness. Her private life is above reproach; her public career pure, upright and successful, and she has elevated the tune of the profession by her womanly rectitude. The eon- fidence reposed in her has secured an extensive and lucrative practice. Then all honor to this heroic woman. Mrs. Lockwood has long been iden- titied with the peace movement in con- nection with the Universal Peace Un- ion and the Arbitration League, being a prominent worker in both organiza- tions. Her services in securing inter- views with the President, heads of departments and Committees of Con- gress on Foreign Affairs, which show- ed her influence in Washington, have renderen important service to the cause.-—M.

In 1849 she at- tended her first course of lectures at the Central New York College, and graduated at ahe Syracuse Kelectic College in 1853, having previously ap- plied for admission to several other in- stitutions, and been refused on the ground that no female student could be received. She visited Europe in 1867, where every facility was afforded her for the inspection of hospitals; and eminent men received her, and intro- duced her to their associates with most gratifying courtesy. In 1863, by her untiring efforts, aided and abetted by Dr. Lydia F. Fowler, and her hus- band, L. N. Fowler, with that of Char- lotte Fowler Wells, the Woman’s Med- ical college was established in New York City. This College, of which Dr. Lozier is Dean and President of the Faculty, has sent forth hundreds of di- ploma-panoplied women to bless and be blessed. The doctor has built upa large and lucrative practice in the Em- pire City, and entertains in her beau- tiful and artistic home like a princess. She is President of the New York Suf- frage Society, which meets monthly in her ample parlors, and has done more, in her quiet lady-like way, to blend and fuse all the various elements which go to make up a strong society than any other woman in the State. In nominating Dr. Lozier for Vice- President of the United States, the ‘Woman’s Equal Rights Party feels that it has made a wise and just choice. No truer friend to woman lives than Clemence 8S.

Then, in order to vote intelligently, he would have to waste some time in reading, when he might otherwise be attending a cock fight, or playing poker. Secondly: Polities corrupt men; therefore, they should not be allowed to vote. Thirdly: They have had the elective franchise a long time, and still intem- perance and licentiousness prevail, therefore, they should be disfranchis- Pe ourthly: it creates family discord, for a wife once refused to sew on her pusband’s shirt buttons, because he voted the Republican ticket, while she *was a Demorcrat. Fifthly: it engenders neighborhood quarrels, for a man once refused to vote for another man’s brother,and it produced a coolness between the two families. Sixthly: Very few men in some dis- tricts attend school meetings to vote for school officers, which proves that mendo not wand to vote, therefore, the whole sex should be disfranchised. Dhad been somewhat doubtful as to estimable right of self government, the right to a voice in choosing their rulers, a right, without which, Dr. Franklin said, “a man is a slave,” till I saw that they were the identical ones used by the big-brained, sagacious, statesmen of Massachusetts against woman suffrage; then I knew that they must be entirely logical and conelu- sive. The most of the aforesaid rea- sons were taken from a letter descri- bing the effect of woman suffrage ina remote precinct in Wyoming Terr’y, which letter was read in the legislature of Mass. as an “awful warning” against woman suffrage.

These have been supple- mented recently by the organization known as the Women’s Caristian Temperance Union, now numbering about 250,090 women, who were combined together a first solely for the suppression of the liquor traffic, but who have since branche out into many other reforms. They found moral suasion a very tedious procesgs whereby to contro! this very extensive traffic, and soon commenced to ask fol legislation upon it, but found directly that legislation was controlled by ballots, | So almost with one accord they pronounced for woman suffrage. That is the history in brief of the party which nominated me four years ago, and again this year, as candidate for the presidency. , “Now [ shouid have some difficulty in comparing the progress of the, movement in America with that in England, because I am not well enough informed of the English side of the question; but Iam of opinion that. on‘ account of immemorial custom, often more potent than law, the American woman enjoys many more privileges than her English sister. We have no sharply defined castes or classes. Ifa young woman has attained her majority, she may go where she pleases, for business or pleasure, without an escort and without questioning. She may enter into business, teach, preach, practice law or medicine, buy and sell stocks, enter the dry goods or real estate business, with- out losing her womanly attributes or her position in society. She not only may do, but is e:.pected to do, anything honest and honourable to maintain herself and, if necessary. her family. “The oppoxents to our movement are principally found in a class of men who still cling to the old ideas, developed in the days of chivalry—that voman is an ideal creature, a sort of petted doll, or simply a house: hold drudge with her sphere bounded by the house which shelters her. Others are women reared in the lap of luxury, who have never known 2 want or a reverse of fortune, who believe that men were created to wait upon them, support and caress them, and who are without any solid ahold ments, but possess only superficial accomplishments and the glamour thrown abou them by their position in society. Nevertheless [ believe that our movement is bound to succeed in time, because the sentiment is a rapidly growing ons and the causes which produce it every day increasing. Besides, aristocratically inclined women are becoming ashamed of their idle and useless lives. _Womer gre finding out that they need the ballot for their protection; and, after all, equality o! rights and privileges is but simple justice.” As though to add a clincher to her statement that the “good cause” is on the increase in the United-States, Belva gives a list of a hundred women lawyers, fifty women ministers of various religious denominations, and nearly a thousand medical women, and she regrets that she is totally unable to enumerate the women engaged in literary and journalistic pursuits. It would seem, therefore, from Belva’s computation that the men of America will shordy have to look to their laurels. Perhaps it was with a view to counteract possibie evils that a Schoo! of Cookery for Boys was recently started in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. [marcy 15, 18%] Rae deere mane, ’ Mrs, Belva A.

Any man about to assume a new and heavy responsibility, and there is no greater one than the use of the fran- -ehise, knows he must train himself -and gain experience beforehand for it, or else he is gertain to meet dis- aster and discredit.

OVER VICTORY OF SUFFRAGISTS * Only Woman Candidate for the Presidency in History Glori- - fies’ in Advancement Made ~ by Sex in Public Affairs in America. _ In the great jubilation among woman suffragists over the victories their cause won Tuesday, when Michigan, Kansas, Ariozna, and Oregon enfranchi8ed wom- en, there is probably no more complacent person among the advocates of votes for women than the woman who started the agitation for woman’s rights in the Unit~ } ed States—Mrs. Belva Lockwood, attorney at law, 619 F Street Northwest. Mrs. Lockwood, who a few days aga celebrated her eighty-second birthday, is rather generous to be complacement and not say, “I told you so,”’ for she has a better right to use that popular expres- sion than a billion other persons who use it every day. In the fifty-eight years that have passed since Mra. Lockwood began to fight for woman's rights, the scoffing and jearing to which she was subjected have given way to-the.acclalm.of.millions of people; the opinions for which she was derided have become the opinions, yea, -the very faith not only of women who thankfully praise this sprightly octoge- narian for what she has done for them, put also of men who bravely declare their gratitude to this woman who helped to lead them to see what they now believe is right.

She watched the swal- lows and thought it would. be a good thing to imitate them in flying, so she began with the parachute idea, smug- gled an umbrella to the roof on a low ell of her home and prepared to descend, which she did in short order but quite unhurt. Undaunted, she continued the study of soaring, but without further efforts to demonstrate. It was no surprise to her friends or to residents of the Capital City that she accepted the invitation to fly in an -| aeroplane at Cottage Park, two years ago. Her keen sense of humor failed her on ohe occasion, when she was travel- ling ot the Erie road watching the Jandscapen, A trainman with a high voice open the door and shouted “Belvidere,” Belva Lockwood, the only woman ssenger, was indig- nant at the familfazity, so she de- manded that the men resent thrash the offender.

Name Secretary of State Bryan’s “dry din- ner” bids fair to become an interna- tional episode, with the coming of the comments of the London press which have been wired to this country. Not only that, but American statesmen themselves are criticising the action of the Cabinet member in enforcing his.own personal views on diplomats who are accustomed to wine with their meals. . ‘ Bartholdt’s Criticism. Congresaman Bartholdt of Missouri is quoted as having sald that “the dollar diplomacy of the Republican regime was the target of criticiam, but the grape juice diplomacy, I fear, will be much x less, effective, so far as our national prestige is concerned.” On the contrary, Mrs, Belva Lock- wood, who has the distinction of being the only woman who ever ran for the Presidency, approves of the action of the Secretary of State. She gays: “Grape juice gayety is a safe and sane gayety, and it doesn’t leave ‘a head’ in the morning. Washington is gay under the Wilson Administration. | The world will be gay under Bryan's regime, and we should worry about London criticisms of Bryan's ‘grape juice diplomacy.’ ”’ Prefers Bryan's Brand. “Grape-juice diplomacy is much to be preferred to the much touteq ‘dollar diplomacy’ of other regimes,” she de- clared. ‘Mr. Bryan is to be congratu- ed. for his’ grape octrine, [| ~-Photo by G.

The then apparent hopelesaness of Woman's Cause so aroused her that she fought for more than fifty years against the exclusion of women from rights whitch mon enjoyed, She fortified her- self with a collegiate education at Cen- essee College In the days when higher educitifon was rare Mone women, and for sucensslve pertods was preceptredy of seminaries at Lockport, Gatnsville and Oswepo, N.Y. -In each place she was a lender among women's gocictics, and when at the close of the civil war she removed to Washington she was determined to be- come a hiwyer and win a Plice before the bar. In the nieantime she married again, to Rev. dizekiel Lockwood, a Maptist clergyman tn Washington, who died nine years later, In L877. Her first husband had been Uriah EH. McNall, a young farmer in Royalton. Soon after her second miurrlage she began study at. the National Cniversity of Law, and upon gradwantion, after spirited controversy, wis ndmitted to prac- tice before the Supreme Court of the District of Columbii. “E never stopped lighting,” she said. “My cause was the cause of thousands of wom- en, T drew up a bill admitting women to practice at the bar of the United States Supreme Court, and T had it passed.” This victory made her widaly acclaimed. She herself wos the first woman to take advantage of the new Liw, and at the age of forty-nine was udmitted to the highest court In the lind. She won several notable legal battles, in- eluding the case of the Eastern Cherakeas agt. the United States, In: which she se- cured a settlement of $5,000,060 for the Indians. During President Carflela’s administra- tion she made an ubsuccesaful appltca- tion for the Brazilan mission, Nominated for Presidency. The most striking incident of her career then came, in 1884, with nom- ination by the equal rights party of the Pacific slope as a candidate for the presidency of the United States, Vain ae the action was it was a unique dis- tinetion.: The nomination wis renewed by the sane party ineeting in Iowa four years later. “When the notice of my first nomina- tion came,” Mrs. Lockwood related, “J did not know what to do with it. so J stuck in In m- pocket, and kept ft a secret for se cal days, until T WAS asked to support Ben Butler for the presidency, ‘lL can’t do it,” J answered, ‘tT have a nomination myself!"

Miss Florence Etheridge, president of the District Woman Suffrage Associa~| tlon, proposed that the suffrage hosts gather in Washington for a demonstra- tion on the day that a new President is. sworn in. Miss Etheridge, acting on au; thority of the District association, pro- posed that the national organization take part in the Inaugural parade itself or told an individual parade. Dr. Anna Shaw, president of the na- tional association, and other leaders ex-" pressed their approval when Miss Hther- idge talked with them, and said they would come to Washington to join in the demonstration, which they believe will be of great value to the woman suffrage movement. It is expected the board will decide to- morrow whether to hold an individual gural. ita individual members could align them- selves with any political party was, in my opinion, the most important matter before the convention,” Miss Etheridge sald last night. “It was a vindication of the right of the individual to her own political opinions.”’ Mrs. Lockwood Home.
