FEMALE FRANCHISE.

TO TIIK EDITOR. Sir,—Water will not run up a hill, simply from the fact that the Creator created water 10 inn down a hill, so as to go baud in hand with His other wondrous woiks. Woman cannot lien politician i.nd know how lo vote, simply from the lact that it «aa not giveu to her to have »uch knowledge, as the possession o. Mich knowledge would not go huid in hand with the influence her more gt ntlc nature is to have on more rugged num. The want of such knowledge is the reason she politicians make such astounding propositions at thenwomen political Liberal Union meet'ngs. However, we have the female franchise, and which there will be no netting rid of, and I warn the many w oil ami wise women who have a gieat repugnance to vote, and more especially those who took the bit between their teeth and did not vote at the last election, that seeing we have the feu ale franchise it is 'ho duty of those who have a repugnance to vote that bv not d..iug so they sue phiyi.g into the hands i.f tue political imbeciles and roi'ius Ii all females were ml to vote they who are repugnant to do so would be quite justified in not vu'iug, but as the wives and daughters of all such rogues and imbeciles will be sure to vote, so must you also so as to neutralise their votes.-1 am, etc.,
