"It is not impossible,” says The Cath-
olic World, “to conceive that the time
may come when a feminine hand may
hold even the helm of state." ‘ *
The state referred to by this Roman
catholic magazine is of course our own
republic, for women have often been at
5 head of monarchical states,‘snd at
Mum time Victoria is the nominal
ruler of Great Britain; but, as it says, in
Inch states "the advent of: a woman to
the kingly or imperial thron ~
result of a dynastic exigency.
ammo it Would be the outco e of a
constitutional revolution."
Harmer, the queens and
Zambia, Catherine, Maria
the rest, had only men to counselors.
“A lady president with a eminine cabi-
not" is the possibility here, if the polit»
ical ruleis transferred to the feminine
umnjcrity. which already exists in the
older states, and which, before Woman
snflrsge is granted, will probably exist
in the Union generally. If women vote,
theywill be eligible to all political of-
fices, elective or appointive.
If a woman ever becomes president of
the United States, there will be nothing
.toprevent her from having a feminine
cabinet, and it is reasonable to suppose—
nay, it is inevitable—that she will have
women in her cabinet and will appoint
women to other oflices—as cmhassadors
abroad, as judges and in all the depart.
ments of the civil service. If the mili-
taryserviceis allowed to continue un-
" der feminine rule, she may reserve its
' harsh duties for men only, though per-
haps there are places on the stall for
which she would regard women as fitted.
Of course if we had a woman president
we should be sure to have women in con-
Itis on this account that Professor
. Goldwin Smith opposes woman suffrage
in England. He says that it would im-
. ply the substitution of a feminine for a.
masculine policy, and such a. change he
regards as perilous to the welfare of the _
state. Women, beingin the majority in
England, would hold the whip hand po-
litically. They could do as they pleased
it they had the suffrage. They could
rule the state in their own way, and as
majorities have always insisted on exer-
cising the supreme power whencverit
has been within their reach Professor
Goldwin Smith assumes that the tem-
inine majority in England would be no
.exception to the rule. Having the op-
portunity to govern, they would im.
prove it by governing after their own
pleasure. They would introduce a dis-
tinctively feminine policy as distin—
guished from the masculine policy of the
past, fears and fort-casts this serious pro-
fessor. He is afraid to be put at the
e yof women. '
‘ ch a possibility in this republic does
ot frighten us. and apparently it does
not frighten The Catholic World. Sim-
hr evil prognostic-minus were made as
the consequence to society of the en-
emeut of the “sphere“ of women.
ll'n
enlargement has come. but the
' dreaded result has not followed. Wom- '
_ en are not “\inscxcd."
Thcy still wield
the most gracious and wholesome and
elevating power in society, and if the
time comes, or when the time comes
that they are ullowad to bring thcir iu~
fluence to bear directly on the state by
means of the suffrage, we have no fear
that they will misuse that influence.
As The Catholic \Vorld says, "The
world is made up of mm and wmum,
and whatever is ln-st for the common in-
tenet of both is tho om- grout and per-
petual principle of human polity."
Women are no more the cum-mics of up n
than are men of WHIUI‘II. ”no of tho
