Ex-President Cleveland on Woman Suffrage.

Grover Cleveland, ex-president of the United States, is at one with Cardinal Gibbons in believing that woman suffrage—the introduction of women into the arena of politics now occupied exclusively by men—would not be a good thing either for the women or for politics. Mr. Cleveland has an article in the Ladies' Home Journal for October in which he discusses the question : " Would Woman Suffrage be Unwise ?" and arrives at the conclusion which Cardinal Gibbons and many others of the most influential men in Church and State have already reached, namely, that general woman suffrage is inexpedient. Mr. Cleveland believes that man and woman have each a separate and distinct, but an equally important, place in the world. Man has his work. Woman has hers. But neither should invade the other's province ; and this because Almighty God has created them to serve Him in different ways. " It is a mistake to suppose," says Mr. Cleveland, " that any human reason or argument is needful or adequate to the assignment of the relative positions to be assumed by man and woman in working out the problems of civilization. This was done long ago by a higher intelligence than ours. I believe that trust in Divine wisdom, and ungrudging submission to Divine purposes, will enable dutiful men and women to know the places assigned to them, and will incite them to act well their parts in the sight of God."
