WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE IN THE UNITED STATES.
A telegram from Washington, dated January 13th, states that the House of Representatives, by 204 to 174, refused to submit to the people an amendment to the Federal Constitution enfranchising women. It was hoped to get thi> question submitted to the people, and by them carried, and Women’s Suffrage put in the Constitution of the United States. The House of Representatives, by their action, has delayed this issue, but the States one by one are placing it m their Constitutions, and it is only a mat f er of time until it is in the Federal Constitution. Already 12 States have equal suffrage: Wyoming, Color ado, Idaho, Utah, Wa>hington, Cali fornia, Arizona, Kansas, Oregon, Alaska, Nevada, and Montana; seve ral other States have partial suffrage, and ethers are moving in the direction of submitting it to the people.
