ANTI-SUFFRAGE.
The anti suffrage woman suddenly
comes to tbe front and antagonizes
tlie efforts of her deluded sisters, who
want the privilege of being placed on
an equality with the men.
Like every other question there
are two sides to this one.
"We have received a letter from
Mrs. Anna Parker Pruyn, president
of the anti-suffrage association, en
closing some printed matter on the
subject. Among other things, Mrs.
Anna Parker Prpyn says in her letter
to us that "man is a noble creature,"
for which statement she has our
thank?, and that of our fellow "crea
tures." We have heard it stated in
our schoolboy days that the horse
was a noble animal, arid we are glad
that man is ranked as his equal. The
thought is somewhat saddened by
the reflection that the borst is rapid
Jy becoming obsolete, despite his no
bility, and we fear the same thing
may happen to man if woman is to
take his place. We cheerfullj' admit
her superioritv in manjr things, and
- because she is superior we fear for
man the same fate that has overtaken
the horse a fall in value and
crowded market. Electricity has
done up the horse ; woman may yet
do np the man.
We welcome Mrs. Anna Parker
Pruyn and Mrs." Anna Parker
Pruyn's associates in the good cause
of anti-suffrage. There is just so
much work to be done in the world
and there are men enough to do
their part of it. Just why woman
wants to enter the field to reduce
wages and work to support man, in
stead of letting his wages alone and
him support her, we cannot under
stand.
The believers in woman suffrage,
or suffering, claim that woman would
purify politic. That may be true
but when she had, what would purify
woman ?
Speaking of woman suffrage, we
wonder what effect the voting of
women could have on Oregon poll
tics. Would not Bourne, his side
whiskers and his sack, be even more
prominently in evidence then than
now? Wouldn't a new- seal-skin
sacque, a diamend ring, or other
gewgaws, appeal as strongly to the
feminine legislator as the bedi
zened female and the coin of the
realm do to the masculine one?
Would the Mrs. Joneses be any more
faithful ' to their political pledges
than the Mr. Joneses? or be able to
find their way into the house, even
when it is raining, any better? We
wot not, with a great big wot The
femaTe 1 obbyists now at Salem are
not adding anything to the purity of
politics, and they are not doing much
towards solving the problem of the
deadlock. On the contrary, they are
aid to be one, or rather 16 to 1, of
the rrost powerful inducements
against organization.
The situation at Salem is getting
desperate. Only the other morning
Eepresentative Howser was offered a
bribe. He says so himself. He was
in bed at the time, and the hour
chosen by the briber was before day
light. It was a deed of darkness.
Howser dont know who the assailant
of his morals was ; but he valiantly
put his head under the bed clothes
and preserved his virtue. The bold,
bad man offered him, he doesn't
know bow much; he couldn't see it,
but he ' thinks . it was -a large sum.
But he didn't take it. It being dark
he couldn't see' his way clear to do
so. Just how his nocturnal visitor
got into his room he does not know.
He must have leaked in through the
key-bole.' But Howser was proof
against him. Fie threatened to call
a man, and his assailant flod; fled
without leaving any trace of his iden
tity and alas ! I look the boodle; with
him. ' :t '- -'.
NEW YORK'S VULGAR . BALL.
When one contemplates tbe proba
ble intellectual -condition of people
who take a pride in showing how
much money they can spend, it is not
hard to understand that they are un
able to grasp tbe social and ethical
sins of foolish extravagance.- New
York is in a turmoil over the ap
proaching -JJball. of the Bradley-Martins.
The success of some social
functions, in days dead and gone,
depended upon the wit of the guests,
the brains represented, the beauty of
the adornments and the cultured un-
ostentation of the hosts. This ball
is going to be famous for its parade
of the Bradley-Martin dollars. The
otal amount expended on the tunc
tion is expected to aggregate $300,
000, and it may reach $500,000. It
is not to be a matter of taste and
aristocratic reserve. It is to be a
majestic display of one man's ability
to spend money,
Of course, much the same result
might be secured were the host and
hostess to take a few hundred thous
and dollars' worth of greenbacks and
burn them up in a golden coal scuttle
before an enraptured throng of New
York society people. " The extrava
gance is not defensible on economic
grounds. In the first place, the
dresses will be designed, the wines
furnished and the decorations made
by employers already enjoying high
wages and abundant labor. Much of
the ball-givers' money, moreover,
will be eaten up by. prosperous
tradesmen, and as the whole result of
the expenditure is only a few hours
of gaudy display, nothing is pro
duced the expenditure is an eco
nomic loss. If it had not been for
the ball, the money would probably
have remained in the hands ot
shrewd New York investors for the
purpose of increasing useful produc
tion, building factories and setting
up commercial enterprises.
It is time for some of the rich
people of the country to consider
whether the possession of enormous
weath does not involve some re
sponsibility to society at large. The
vulgar show in New York at a time
when money is sorely needed for the
alleviation of absolute distress is cal
culated to increase, class hatred and
discontent. This point alone is of
urgent importance. Are not the
New York nabobs shrewd enough to
see that thev themselves are doing
more to stir up febrile agitation than
the veriest calamity-howler ? Chi
cago Record.
According to the big papers m
the East, the only view taken of the
"extravagant expenditure of wealth
is that it will open the eyes of tbe
poverty-stricken to a comparison of
conditions. . Do. those papers sup
pose the poor do not understand
those conditions now ? Let the rich
spend their money foolishly if they
want to. " That's the way to get it
in circulation, it is true it might
be given to the poor, but it won't
be, and it .would be a bad thing -if it
were. It might be used, as suggested,
in "building factories, but with
those already built standing idle, it
is not likely to be invested that way.
The papers say Mrs. Bradley-Mar
tin is a fool; and as she is parting
rapidly with her money, the saying
seems to be verified. Jbet her get
rid of het coin, for as long as she has
it, no one else will.
When the Indian puts on civiliza
tion he must accept it with all its
evils. Those at the Lapwai agency
have discovered this. When the
government paid them for their
lands some of the stockholders in
the. Moscow bank prevailed upon
them to put their money in that in
stitution for snfe keeping. The bank
failed, and about $40,000 of money
belonging to the Indians came up
missing. The Indians are quite in J
diguant, not liking their white breth
ren's way of doing business ; bi t they
will know more when they get more
experience with civilized people. In
the meanwhile none of the officers of
the defunct bank are preparing for
their summer outing in tbe neighbor
hood of the agency. It is not a
healthful resort for bank officials just
now.
We received a communication last
week from Wapinitia;' but as it was
unsigned, it was not printed. One
would think that in the course of
few hundred years persons who de
sire to have something printed in a
newspaper would sign their names to
the articles. The., editor naturally
wants to know whom to hold respon
sible for statements, and have some
knowledge of tte source of informa
tion. The names siened are not for
publication, but for .the editor's m
formation" only, and heaven knows
information '' is what editors" need
most. ' -r v " v: ' .' : .f-.;
THE COMING" FIGHT. ,
And now comes word? that the
ereat battle between Corbett and
Fitzsimmons is to take place in. Ne
vada, instead of , over the telephone,
We are glad of it. Glad that the
short-haired Kentlemen may meet
without fear of the law, and punch
each other's lungs to a finish. Car
son City has been selected as die
scene of the battle, and already one
excursion from Chicago has been or
ganized and hotel accommodations
secured by it for 1000 persons. But
there are others. New York, St.
Louis, Boston, and the other great
moral and religious centers, will send
excursions, and probably 10,000 peo
ple will be carried across the conti
nent to see the bruisers pound each
other. .
The battle ground is peculiarly
well chosen, for Carson City has
been the scene of many a political
contest, where the men with the long
est sack generally put his opponent
to sleep. --
Nevada's legislature is still In ses
sion, and wewoum suggest that it
go still further and offer the Louisi
ana lottery a refuge. It might also
start an American Monte Carlo, and
become the licensed gambling house
of the United States. It onl has a
population of 50,000, and these
might all be taken into the different
gambling organizations, and prize
fighting associations as stockholders
and directors.
Nevada may yet find that she was
not created in vain.
THEY KNOW NOT WHY.
And now it is claimed Pennoyer
has taken a hand in the senatorial
fight, and has advised the Popu.'isis
and Democrats to assist in organiz
ing the house. It is not probable
the Populists will pay any attention
to him. They are not built that
way. - When a Populist gets the bits
between bis teeth he considers it his
bounden duty to run away with the
band wagon, and never stop until
he has kicked .the breeching off and
torn things up generally. , They lose
sight of all matters they claim to de
sire, and ruin everything they claim
to advocate. A beggar on horseback
and a Populist in office each comply
with the proverb and ride to the d 1,
If they expect to gain anything by
holding up the legislature, they don't
know what It is. They have simply
sot into tbe middle of the road at
the dictation of Jonathan Bourne,
and against all their party interests,
and do Eot know enough to get out
of it They do not know where they
are at, nor why : and they never
will know.
AT SALEM.
Public interest is centered on
Salem, anxiously watching the tide
and trying vainly to conjecture
which way it will flow. There are
all kinds of idle rumors, none of
which can be relied upon. The generally-accepted
idea is that Mitchell's
friends will hold out to the last, and
that it will be, "Mitchell or nobody."
It may be borne in mini (not Jona
than) that the situation was solved
two years ago the last end of the
session, just as tbe famous beauty
show in the old Grecian heaven was
sett'ed by a gift of fruit, though it is
doubtful in the case of the election
of tbe senator if the most beautiful
got the prize. .
If Mitchell's friends hold out, it is
hardly probable that an extra session
will be called, for Governor Lord is
not at alL friendly to Mitchell, and is
hand-in-glove with Simon. Besides,
the legislature would have to organ
ize before a snap judgment like that
which elected McBride could - be
taken.
Bilyeu, in his speech before the
joint convention yesterday, said :
I warn you that if the legislature is
not organized, and at once, I wash
my hands of the whole business. I
am tired of walking the streets of
Salem waiting' for a majority to get
together and do its duty. - The peo
ple who elected me know I am no
fool; , or at least they believe so, else
khey , would not have sent me here."
We fear our friend, Bilyeu, is faulty
in his reasoning and flattering to him-
Eelf in his conclusions. If a..' man
was 'a. fool, and the people knew it,
what better place could, ,they find to
send him than the Oregon legislature ?
Bilyeu will have, to', take something
home with him better than the repu
tation he has established so far in this
session, ifbe expects bis supporters
to think , him anything else than a
fool. 5 '
BuV ten days more reniain of the
legislative session, and what they will
bring forth no man knows. Yester
day the joint session made o gain of
one, Lee and Bilyeu attending, while
one of the other members was away
from the city ; so that, as far as tbe
joint session is concerned, there are
now forty members in favor of it, or
taking part in it. 8ix moi e are need
ed, but whether they can be secured
or not remains to be seen. The
Mitchell forces are gaining confi
dence that they will yet win, and the
gain in attendance on the joint con
vention is in their favor.
An article appearing in this issue
on the subject of Hawaii and . its
commerce with the United States,
and the necessity of annexation to
this country, is clipped from the
Honolulu Commercial Advertiser.
An article of similar import appears
in the Hawaiian Star,, of the same
date, and they go - to show the im
portance the Hawaiians attach to the
(natter of annexation. It is well
worth perusing, as it gives cne an
idea of the present value of our
trade with the islands, and of the
vast possibilities of the future. "
The Nicaragua 'canal bill is dead
beyond the hope of resurrection; and
it is well that it is so. It was a de
liberate attempt to steal $100,000,000
from 'tbe governmet, and came near
succeeding. If the United States
wants the canal, it should build one
and operate it. This thing of fur
nishing money for other people to
buy property with, has gotten de
cidedly old with Americans.
The. private secretary chosen by
President McKinley divides bis
name in the middle, and signs it J.
Addison Porter. It is safe to say
that he' will not be a success. Any
man who has the good, old-fashioned
name of John, and prefers to wag his
ears to the name of J. Addison in
stead, proves that he has plenty of.
ears to wag.

A Trained Nurse Gained Fifty-three
Pounds by Using a Nerve Food.
QUE OF THE HOST
From M Oaiette, Tonkert, N. T.
w I don't look much like a living skeleton
now, do 1 7 And yet two years ago I weighed
just seventy-two pounds," said Mrs.. J. W.
Coffey, of 56 Warburton Avenue, Yonkers,
N. Y., to a reporter. And we agreed with
her, for she certainly looked anything but a
living skeleton, but rather bore the appear
ance of a plump and attractive lady in ex
cellent health and spirits. Continuing she
sa'd:
-"I had lost my appetite and was wasting
away in flesh, losing some fifty pounds in a
few months. Doctors said I was threatened
with, consumption. I was under what was
regarded as first-class medical treatment,
but it had apparently little or no effect, for
I kept getting worse until I was so weak
that I could not attend to my household
duties and could hardly walk. My husband
and everybody who saw me thought surely
that I would die, and there seemed no help
for me.
"Tonics and stimulants and medicines all
seemed useless, and I grew worse and worse
until at last I resolved to seek some new
remedy one entirely out of the usual line
of nauseous drugs and doses of stuff which
seemed to take away what little relish
might perhaps otherwise have had for food.
A friend told me of some wonderful cures
effected by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pale People and I bought a box. The effect
from their use was noticeable from the first
and soon appeared almost miraculous, for it
seemed pretty nearly like the raising of one
from the dead.
"I soon commenced to eat, something I
had scarcely done before for weeks, and soon
began to gain in flesh and strength. I went
one day to the doctor's office and he was sur-
frised at the change in me for the better. I
ad to confess that I had been taking the
pills, and he was broad-minded enough to
advise me to continue what was evidently
doing me so much good. It took, in all, six
boxes, and increased in weight. from 72 to
125 pounds, which is my regular' and normal
weignt."
"Are you sure the cure is permanent f"
" Well, yes. My work is that of a trained
nurse, which means, as you probably know,
irregular hours and at times great exhaus
tion. During the two years since my re
covery I have had many engagements, and
through them all have continued in good
health. I take pleasure in bearing testi
mony to the remarkable power of this great
medical discovery. I know of other cures
effected by it. A friend of mine-suffered
greatly at her monthly periods. One box
relieved and three boxes cured her. But I
know of no case equal to mine, for my situ
ation was critical, desperate and almost
hopeless."
Mrs. Coffey has lived in Yonkers for six
teen years, and for twelve years has followed
the business of attending the sick, excepting
only the period of her illness. She has
hundreds of acquaintances and friends ' who
know her to be capable and trustworthy.
Many of them know how very ill she was
and how remarkable was her recovery. The
pills have a large sale in Yonkers and West
chester County, which will be greatly in
creased as their merits become better known,
for they seem to be one of the medical mar
Vels of the age.

AH tTHSOIJCITED TESTIMONIAl
IVom the Democrat, Atlanta, Texat. .
" Being constantly asked by many of my
friends if Dri Williams' Pink Pills for Pale
People were doing me any good, I offer this
unsolicited testimonial and answer. Never
having seen a well day since I had typhoid
fever last summer, I could retain scarcely
any food, my limbs and joints ached and
pained all the time. It was misery to me to
rise np in bed and my mind was clouded, in
fact was a physical wreck and I felt that my
life was drawing to a close, and I must con.
fess it was without regret on my part as my
sufferings were almost unbearable.
"Since I commenced to take Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills, at the solicitation of my wife, I
have taken four boxes, and I feel like a new
man. My appetite is good and I now retain
what I eat. my limbs and joints are free of
Sain and I nave gained ten pounds in weight,
y life feels renewed and while not yet en.
tirely well, I feel so much better that I un
hesitatingly assert that I believe Pink Pills
for Pale People a good medicine for what
they are recommended. Knowing -that no
medicine will save life under all circum
stances or in all cases, yet I do honestly be
lieve that they have prolonged mine, or at
least, where all was , dark and gloomy and
full of suffering it has been changed for the
better.
" The manufacturers of this medicine do
not know of my taking it- Neither am I
paid for this statement, but give it freely in
answer to friends and the editor of this
paper."
