         WHEN WORK IS DONE.
         nY MARIANNE FARNINI:IIAM1.
     It is its if tie world were glad!
     Whether in light or darkness clad,
     The hour is never dull or sad
         When work is done.
     The very voices in the street
     Are tuned to notes nore soft and sweet;
     We love all things we chance to meet
         When work Is done.
     The gentle music of the breeze,
     The tender whispers of the trees,
     And every sound, has power to please
         When work Is done.
     Upon each dear, familiar face
     Rests some new trait of winsome grace,
     And joy lights up the old honse.place
         When work is done.
     Life's tumult'suddenly grows still,
     And love and gladness and good.will
     Come with their peace the heart to fill
         When work Is done.
     But when the hours of labor close,
     And earth is wrapped in sweet repose,
     And all things sleep-alas for those
         With work undone I
     Oh, kind Tasknaster, let thy rest
     Be to tired workers manifest,
     And unto all who do their best,
         Say thou, Well done I


     EDITORIAL NOTES.

   Ott the first day when Congress reas-
 sembled after the holidays, Senator Iloar,
 of Massachusetts, introduced an amend-
 nent to the U. S. Constitution prohibiting
 disfranchisement on account of sex.

 Gov. Oliver Ames, if his admirable in-
 augural message to the Massachusetts
 Legislature, last Thursday, for the third
 time recommended the extension of full
 municipal suffrage to women. lIe said:
   Once more I earnestly recommend, as
 an act of simple justice, the enactment of
 a law securing municipal suffrage to
 women. Recent political events have con-
 firmed the opinion which I have long held,
 that if women have sufflcient reason to
 vote, they will do so, and become an im-
 portait factor in the settlement of great
 questions. If we can trust uneducated
 men to vote, we can with greater safety
 and far more propriety grant the same
 power to women, who, ats a rule, are as
 well educated and quite its intelligent ats
 men.
   These grave and statesmanlike sentencees
 deserve to be printed in letters of gold.
 Let us hope that the Legislature will carry
 out the recommendation of the Governor,
 who deserves and will receive the thanks
 and appreciative approvad of the women
 of the Commonwealth.

   The WOMAN'S JOURNAL will hereafter
 devote reguh' iSpace to the work and re-
 ports of the Women's Educational and In-
 dustrial Unioiis throughout the country.
 Mrs. Abby Morton Diaz, who is better
 qualified than any other woman, has kindly
 consented for the present to take charge
 of this department. These Unions, under
 the inspiration of Mrs. Diaz, have become
 a characteristic national institution.  The
 pioneer society in this city have already ten
 children anti grandchildren. The San Fran-
 cisco Union, one of the youngest and most
 vigorous of these, reports on our eighth
 page to-day. Broader and more general
 in its scope than ny other organization of
 women, the W. E. and I. U. takes cogni-
 zance of every department of practical
 philanthropy, and organizes women for
 mutual aid, protection and encouragemnent.
 These Unions neetd a national medium of
 communication and a weekly bulletin of

   The Boston Trans'rit says
   One of the first purposes to which
 women should address themselves in their
 political agitation for tlse social advantage
 of their sex is the equalization of punish-
 ments for wrongs done women with pun-
 ishment for wrongs done men. When one
 man assaults another with axe and club,
 knocks him   down   and netsrly murders
 him, the sentence of tile court is apt to be
 more than a brief imprisonment of three
 or four months.  Butt it this enlightened
 State and age a mau may assault his wife
 with  axe and club, and anost murder
 her, and receive sentence of only four
 months' ihprisonment, its witness itrecent
 case in Quincy. Woten should strive for
 such an ametdtnent of our laws its shall
 make brutal violence towards women as
 heavily punishable as brutal violence
 towards men, and sien should be earnest
 to aid them in bringing about this adjust-
 ment, demuaided not atlone by chivalry, but
 by humanity, which is better.

   Mrs. Crawford, the Paris correspondont
 of the London Daily News, testifies to the
 substantial wrongs which will be remedied
 by3 M. Erliest Lefevre's Bill, stow pending in
 the French Chamber of Deputies, to give
 tradeswomen a right to vote for Judges of
 tile Tribunal of ('omnetce. Mrs. ('raw-
 ford says that is spite of the low legal
 status of women in Frate, women exer-
 cise a great and   wlolly   irresponsible
 power In the political world. They are
 too well off to realize sow had tilhe law is.
 In business circles it is very different:
   In thie world of trade and commerce, the dis-
 abilities under which the Frenchwoman rests
 weigh heavily on her energies. Site cannot be a
- witness to a contract, or' in any civil tnatter ex-
cept a birth registration. When she is unmarried
or a widow, she finds that the judges of the Tri-
bunal of Commerce, to whom she has occasiot
to appeal, are prejudiced in favor of her oppo-
nent, if he cai vote for them. In many ways
the interests of tradeswomeu suffbr because they
are not electors, not only of thejuges consulaires,
but of town conscillors and deputies. Not long
ago the fish-women of the Central Market were
going to be turned out of their pavilion, which
was built on purpose for them thirty years ago.
The idea was to give it to a bdy of tradesmen
who could vote and command votes. A great
struggle took place, and it ended by the fisl-
women holding their gronid. They are a most
worthy class of women, brave, enduring, quick,
and intelligent. It is not at all uncommon to
find among them women who have four or five
thousand pounds Invested. Their opinion on the
Budget would be better worth having than that
of many electors of their class, who, too often,
vote as the putlicau tells them. I know an old
lady who is and has been the managing partner
of a very prosperous bank for thirty-seven years.
She tells me that her blood has often boiled at
the civil disabilities under which she is placed,
mast that she had never had time to job in. any
agitation against them. A great many usiness
women suffer In the same way.

          SAMUEL E. SEWALL.
   The Massachusetts Club, at Young's
 Hotel, on Saturday afternoon, lion. A. W.
 Beard in the chair, unanimously adopted
 the following resolution by a rising vote :
   Resolred, That the Massachmsetts Club desires
 to record its tribute of respect and affection for
 the illustrious character and great public services
 of the late Samuel E. Sewall, the oldest member
 of the Massachusetts bar. An Abolitionist in
 1827, an associate of William Lloyd Garrison in
 18.31, the Liberty party candidate for Governor
 from 1843 to 1848, identified with the Free Soil
 and national Republican parties from 1848 to
 1884, and with tile Republican party of thie State
 until his death, we recognize in him the most
 persistent worker for the removal of the legal dis-
 abilities of women, and a pioneer in the cause of
 liberty and equal rights, irrespective of race,
 color or sex.
   Appreciative remarks in support of the
 resolution were made by ]loi. A. A. Ran-
 ney, Ho. John ). Long,'IlenryI t. Blick-
 well, lion. A. sN. Beard, Ilorace G. Wiad-
 lin, W. W. Doherty, Gebrge A. 0. Ernst
