Eighteen Hundred and Eighty-two will be a year of niach Importance to the women' of Oreeron and the world. It 1 destined to record a step forward or backward In the movement of women for recognition a free and equal citizens 1 before the law. In every part' of the world women are praying nd hoping that the-step.wlil be In advance, and watching with ' keen Interest the history Oregon makes. We who are residents of - the favore commonwealth have every caose to believe that the Legislature of 1882 will be com "posed of men who will put no blot on the Bute's ' name and fame, but will assist In gaining for Ore ::. gon this crown for being the first State to do Jus- tice to women. Then let us hall, with pleasure the dawning of the New Year, and resolve to do .our best to aid In the selection of. good and true men for the Legislature, "PROFANITY CEAHED." , -which Is excellent authority : A sudden chang eame over the scens m two women en . ' tered. Prof an It ceased, loud Ulk was boshed, and as the flr voters tiptoed serosa the tobaceo-etalned floor, the crowd about the boxes politely divided to fire them room. This little excerpt has been published In many a journal during the past few weeks, and Is an ex cellent confirmation of, the prophecies of Woman Suffragists. What Is needed at the polls Is the continual presence of women. . Then there will be no occasion taclm)nMebecegatlQnLprvfaar lty, because it will not have been commenced; then floors will not be so stained with tobacco as to be mentlonedinhelpressTpecau ' and furious expectoration will hot be permit ted. Certainly only, the roughest and toughest classes can object to the good results attendant on the presence of women at the polls; and If they do object. It wllLiiot be a difficult matter for the great mass of wpecUbjejelUtenstosupprese tbem.- - - BiraryffiinniATLot. - Certain trades unions bar women from member bin, and are Justly subject to the. severest criti cism. By their selfishness and Intolerance they refuse to five women a chance to be 'square," and force them to cut down wages, Instead of ' seeking their help to maintain, prices. A society of this class recently used Its oppressive power against a gtrl In New York. One of a number of cigar-packers died, and his sister, to whom he had taught the trade, stepped Into his place. It was against the rules of the union that women should bo employed, and falling to secure her dismissal, a hundred men left the factory upon a strike. ,JThe Chicago Timet thus speaks of their action t They fled before tola woman, whom they soon Id hare been willing to aid, and declared their Intention to remain . Idle for aa Indefinite period rather than permit this wom an, the sister of their dead comrade, to earn her bread at working In their trade. Finding that there was so much trouble about her employment, the woman consented to retire. The hundred strikers bad won, and ahe was set adrift to pick up a living where she might. Since the union ostracizes the girl, It must look for her to work at reduced rates. There Is no doubt that her brother taught her, In addition to the trade, the principles and objects of the union, and there Is no reason to believe that she would .have been otherwise than a desirable member; but her sex, In the eyes of the cigar-packers, makes her an Inferior, and she suffers accordingly. What she needs Is equal political rights; with them will come civil rights. ; In theGulteau trial during the past week, many doctors in charge of Junatlo asylumdrhave been on the witness stand as experts, and their testimony is damaging to. the. assassin,' whom they pro nounce sane.

' ' On Tuesday next, at Independence, Postal Agent Simpson will publicly hold an official Investiga tion of the charges preferred by the publisher of this Jourral against Postmaster Hodgln. The edi tors will be. present, prepared to give a full report of the proceedings, trace to reading matter, as the rush of holiday advertising will be past. The New Year being at hand, it may be proper to say a few words about this Journal's business at the present and the hopes of its proprietors for the future. The paper now. enjoys a larger In come than at any previous time, and it is steadily growing; but there Is corresponding expense, ow lng to various Improvements, and the net earn Jngs are but slightly In excess of former years. We. should like to send our subscribers each "week such a paper as our Christmas number, but our re sources will not warrant It. However, we shall en large It to sixteen pages as soon as fifteen hundred new subscribers are added to our present list. The Income from this number will barely pay for the Increased compositlonttaper, presswork, postage and-incidental expenses,' allowing nothing for extra literary labor. But we ask no remunera tion. We are working to win, and desire nothing further than a fair living for unceasing toll. We also realize that the success 'of the Woman' Suf frage movement will deprive this paper, pf Its field. But we want to attain success, and hope and believe that the extension of ,tbls Journal's circulation will hasten that roulLAceordlnkl y. we ask and urge the Woman Suffragists of Oregon and Washington to use a little effort to' Increase our lists. They will be 'repaid; not only I u the consciousness of aiding acausewhicETIs theirs as well as ours; but. by a "com mission of 25 per cent and a double quantity of reading. If each of our present subscribers will send a new name with the money, or If the leading worker in the-rarioas towns will each send three or four, new subscrib ers, the paper will be enlarged Immediately. The amount of work necessary to reach this result will be light individually, but large In the aggregate. Further words on this subject will be found In our advertising columns. . .. .

In reply, the wife publishes a card showing the scoundrel up In his true light. He has brutally beaten her and been fined for lt has failed to pro vide for his family and devoured what his wife earned; has driven his family from' their home and disposed of -all -their-hoaehold (which the wife bad earned) ; and has taken the proceeds of the cowardly sale, stolen the children, and gone to California. To cap all this, he de scends to defamation of the mother of his chil dren. The whipping-post is needed for such acur. These excellent words are from the Vancouver JtegUter: "We question the policy of any social organization or Institution that separates men and women. " The fiat long since went forth that It Is not good for man to .be alone. This Is vio lated in many of the secret organizations of men and In the liquor saloons of the Territory. It every husband, father or brother, when he chooses to visit a saloon, was compelled to take his wife, daughter or sister with him, how many would go ? e All resorts for men where women pannoto ought to be abolished. If there Is anything what ever In the theory of progress maintained by the world's optimists, the time will come1 when men will not want to assemble In any public place or in social' resorts when it would be Improper for women to go with them.

To tbs Enrrou or the New If oktb wkst t The Pulari profeaaea to have learned that the reaaon of Prealdent Arthur's .determination "to appoint no more women to post offices, pension agencies, etc," Is that ''the department na bad a great deal of trouble as the result of appointing women to office, nd that auch sppolntmenta have caused a good deal of trouble to the party."

In the Polaris concerning everything unfair and tricky In themanlpuia tlon of the governmental machinery that Is managed by men In their own. financial IntereaUi It looks queer to see auch a' declaration as the above In Its columns, printed without comment, and evidently endorsed, by the editor.

' But in no case can a President set up a distinction be tween the sexes without violating the Constitu- tlon and directly abusing the appointive power. He Is sworn, as Chlef Magistrate of the nation, to oppose class legislation 6f every name nd, order.!. If his reason for the discrimination complained of by our correspondent be correct, it proves him a vulgar, shallow' politician, who would better be employed as 1. ward . wire-puller among "party" thugs than as the Executive of a mighty nation. ' But perhaps our correspondent is too fast.' Per haps the President is a statesman. Perhaps he has noted the impudent opposition of many office holding women to the enfranchisement of other women, who hold no offices, but are wish enough andvj)atriotlc enough to value the priceless boon of liberty as implied in the idea of a government of and by the people. Let us yait a litflw and m how hisiieclslon "will work. Meanwhile we'd like to see him give "the party" machineanother twist We'd e like to see every office.-holding woman who Is opposed to Woman Suffrage ousted at once by Executive mandate. The President could bring them to their senses by this act most effectually, and thus make Woman Suffragists of them all. 7 Queen Victoria is Immensely rich and. Im mensely pious.
