TWO SILVERY ORATORS.
ALBANY, Or., May 13.-A big sil
ver demonstration wa held In Leba
non today. Congressman J. O. Sibley
f Pennsylvania ami (leiieral A. J.
Warner of Ohio, president of the no
tional bi metallic league, addrt-ud
an assemblage of 2,IM") people there
this afternoon. This is pnmaiiiy the
only place the silver orator will speak
In Oregon. They arrived on the over
land train from San Francisco and
took tho first train for Lebanon. The
distinguished speakers weie met on
tho arrival of the train there by Mayor
M. A. Miller and a committee of citi
zens and escorted to the hotel, where
au Informal reception was held. Af
terwards a procession was formed
and tho throng, accompanied by brass
bauds, inarched through the streets to
tlie grounds of the Santlam academy,
where an open air meeting was held.
They wero Introduced with nn appro
priate speech ny mayor miner, now
speakers made strong pleas for the
unlimited coinage of sliver on a ratio
of 111 to 1. They urged voters to sup
port for president the man who stands
upon that platform, irrespective of
party affiliations. After the speeches
a rising vole was culled for, which
allowed nn almost tiiiaulinous senti
ment for tho wlillo metal.
Both gentlemen are loud In their
praise of the Willamette valley. Af
ter speaking the distinguished orators
returned to Albany and will go to
Portland, and at once take the train
to meet their appointments in tho slate
of Washington.

The last congress gave him uolhlug,
nothing partly. It I said, because the
Inducement offered by the company
lu the way of money, bonds or prom
ises of money or Isuid were not suf
ficiently large. That would seem to
ls a reflection on the last' congress
also, but these are quite In order, it
I likely that ihe task of the canal
company with Ihe next congret may
t even harder. It won't tsi such a
tougti congress, and It will also Im
a new one, ami less familiar with
the question. The raual Idea la
hacked by many Important pconle,
The Pacific coast wanted It; also the

Impression that It I a big Job, and
that hurt It. Doubts are frequently
expressed, toi, whether Winner Mil

themselves are always contending for

dent Andrews of Brown points out
that an appreciated gold dollar Is dis
honest in principle just as a depreJ
cintcd silver one is, which la a
thought, whether we agree with It or
not which has excited some comment.
Mr. Cleveland. It appears, sec tie-
point, and ho now Impresses his vln-
Iters with the fact that this sliver dis
cussion must U frank aud honest,
that simply calling names won't do.
that millions of the American people
must lie convinced on the merit a of
the discussion.
There Is likely to come an Interest

Crusftderi la NewYork rreparliia; for
the Last Campaign-Interesting
Facts About Notable Women.
In the words of Mra. Lilly Devereux
Blake, the crusade for women's suf
frage has nuw reached Its moat crltl
cnl stage, aud from now on the champ
luu of the cause lu that slate will
know no rest until ' what they have
striven ror, ror more thsn a genera
lion, hu btome an aured fact.
Both branches of the New York leg'
Islature have passed a bill submitting
to the vole of the people the question
of suffrage lo women. According to
the revised constitution of the state,
tho same bill will have to be passed
upon by the next legislature before
the question can be answered at the
poll.
It Is a hot and long campaign that
me women are going to face. First.
they must win over the members of
the next legislature, and then comes
the broader task of campaigning for
tne vole or the multitude. At the
earliest, the question cannot come up
at the polls until November of IWsl.
ami that ladug a presidential year the
women leaders may deem It advisable
to postpone it until the fall of 1H17.
wneii l lie voter will have lea to think
of, aud tan be more easily oerauaded
hi uise up tne question of auffrage,
seriously.
The women who will nmnaue this
campaign, which la frought with
mucn interest to suffragist the worlt!
over, form an Interesting group. They
appreciate the gravity of the work,
Knowing mat ir It I successful In New
Yory stale It will have great weight In
Influencing legislation favorable to the
cause In other atate.
It Will be of I" ;. t to aulTrmfiat

thing of tho women who will treucrnl
the fight lu this state. The most
unique figure In the group Is Mr.
Ulake, who has, perhaps, done more
JUja,tp,H,Tr)OKY
t propagate Ihe doctrine of equal suf
frage than any other woman enlisted
in i nu cause lu New York. Of conraw.
Susan B. Anthony I more wklly
known as a suffragist. Imt her work I
distributed over the whole count rv.
wlillo Mrs. Blake concentrates her ef
forts upon a more limited area. In
brief, Mr, lilnke Is laboring for stif-
frtigo llrst In her own state, while Miss
ittiiony labors ror the whole country.
Speaking of the nature of the cam
paign iH'fore them, Mrs. Blake said:,
"We will take a most active part In
the work of the next election. We af
filiate with no party, but will work
for or against the Individual candidate,
according to the stand he takes on
tho suffrage question. Wo must see
to It that no man ts elected to the next
legislature who la antagonistic to our
cause. In every district throughout
tho state we will have committees
who, long before the nominations have
been made by the rival parties, will
keep track of all possible candidates
and sound them on tho auffrage ques
tion. If a candidate Is unfavorable we
shnll do everything possible to prevent
ins nomination. Should he lie nomin
ated, then we will devote our energies
to derent him at the polls. In this
way we hope to make sure of the next
legislature, ami then will come the
hanler task of getting tho votes of the
people." . ,
Mrs. Blake lias lieen a worker for
suffrage since 1800. Today she Is a
handsome woman of fifty odd years
w ith white hair and plenty of activity.
From 1.S70 until lStK) she was presi
dent of the state association, and for
the last nlue years has been president
of the city association. Her llrst work
of consequence in behalf of women
was In 1873, when she began the strug
gle to have Columbia college opened to
women. Mrs. Ulake a greut-great-
graudfather, the Rev: Dr. Samuel
Johnston, rector of old Trinity church,
was the llrst president of the college,
which was then culled King's college.
Dr. Johnston weut to England and ob
tained Its charter. This was prior to
tlu Revolution. After the long war
the name was changed to Columbia
college, aud upon the death of Dr
Johnbtoii his sttii, William Samuel
Johnston, became its president. Mrs.
Ulake was successful m having tne
college opened to women.
Mrs. -Martha It. Aliny as a woman
who Just at this time Is of great in
terest to tho friends of suffrage. It
was Mrs. Aliny who conducted the
work of getting tho bill through both
liojics of the lcglsluttiyv, a 'work
which Is regarded as the greatest vic
tory In tho history of the cause in
New York state. Mrs. Almy spent
three mouths In Albany working
among tlie legislators, and although n
novice In campaigning did the work
singularly well.
Her homo Is In Jamestown, Chatati
qun county, where she lias a husband
and several children. It was the fact
that she was a typical home-woman,
a wife and mother that Induced her as
sociates to send her to Albany to Im
press upon the legislators the fact that
even tho homo clnss of women were
In favor ofuffrage.
Speaking of her work among the
legislators Mrs. Almy said: "I must
nay that I was always treated with the
utmost respect, not only ns au Indi
vidual, but us the representative of the
movement for which I spoke. Tlie
matter Is now before the people and It
will become one of tho factors lu tlie
state campaign next full."
Mrs. Almy Is a slight, frall-looklng
woman not much over forty. Chautau
qua county, where she lives, Is a verit
able hotbed of believers In suffrage for
women. The whole population of the
place, men nud women, have declared
themselves lu favor of It, and Mrs.
Almy was one of the llrst, to contract
the Infection.
Mrs. Jean Brooks GreenleaJJ is des
tined to figure prominently In suffrage
affairs when the campaign begins. She
Is the president of the state assockv

ana possessed of rare executive abil
tty. She la not much of an orator, but
uiakea a good presiding officer. Her
husband Is Interested In the move
inent, and his political experience has
pnven beneficial more thin ouee.
Mrs. Elliabetb Cady Stanton, who
can almost be called the grandmother
or tue woman s suffrage crusade, is
now In her eightieth year, and c-
tiiougn she maintains a lively Interest
In all that Is said ami done, her age
prevents her from active participation
la the work. Mra. Stanton presented
the Orst appeal for auffrage ever made
on behalf of women In this country.
it was at an equal right convention
held at Seneca Fall In 1848 that Mrs.
Catty Introduced the motion which
started the great crusade. This con
vention was really for the purpose of
antl slavery agitation which monopo
lised the attention of reform In those
time, but Mr. Stanton took ad
vantage of the occasion to o)sa up
the question for discussion, and four
year later, in 1ktz, Miss Susan It, An
thony, who was then a school teacher,
became Infatuated with tho idea aud
liegnn a series of oration favoring It,
which have been kept up for more
titan forty years.
Mrs. Matlhla Johnston Gage, mother
of the pioneers in the fight, Is now
living at Fayettcvllle, near Syracuse.
tier age prevents her from doing act
ive work, though her Interest in Us

All of these women think that a
great vbliry Is near, and they Intend
to earn It by common sense and hard
work. HELEN GRANGER.
.DUSTY DI5IJA.
Vast waves of enthusiasm have del
uged the natioti over the New Woman.
Every crossroads editor has laid down
his pnefe-brusu aud scissors to take
up rurely used pen and give a hungry
public some fresh facta about the New
Woman. Gorgeously paid editorials
writers on the great papers of the
country have seiaed upou the New
Woman with fierce avidity aud painted
wonderful type pictures of her million
glories. Artists have tortured their
mental machinery to present her In
some startling new form that would
amase the masses with her piquant
grace ami dashing brilliancy. Funny
men have hurried themselves well
along the road to Daffeyvltle by a
ecasclcsB endeavor to tickle the multi
tude with hilarious witticisms about
tho New Woman. Lecturers have
worn out their mouths talking about
her, and ministers have pounded big
dents on bible stands while punctuat
ing sermons on her.
Nobody hns seen the dear creature
yet, but that doesn't matter.
Here la tho point." All the ravings,
cravings and waving about the New
woman have been on one side. It has
been abundantly shown what she
would le If she Jumped Into the Indus
trial and professional holds of mascu
linity. But there Is another side of
manhood, and If women are going to
gobble up all the prerogatives of the
sterner sex at one swoop they must
take the bitter with the sweet. They
can't all be doctors, lawyers, minis
ters, etc., and even the receptive ca
parities of the army, navy, the me
chanical pursuits, iolice forces, fire
departments and other similar things
will not lie able to accommodate all
the New Women.
For Instance, with the coming evolu
tion of womankind, a certain percent
age of them will invade the pleasant
pathways of trainpdom heretofore oc
cupied by mankind. There will be
"Dusty Delias," "Meandering Mag
gies," "Umesome Lucys," "Ambling
Annies," "Frosty Florrles," "Easy
Lauras," "Gleesome Gladyses" ond
"Weary Winnies" without uuinlier.
When any of these ladles call at a
house occupied by the Coming Woman
and a Gone Slan, the former, of course,
will lie out hustling to main tain a meal
ticket In the family, while the latter
will be unprotected at home minding
the babies. Dusty Detla, reinforced by
Meandering Maggie, will knock loudly
nn tho farmhouse door aud demand of
tho poor mnu a good dinner. He will
tremble, but putting on a bold rront
will tell Dusty Delia to mind the baby
and Meandering Maggie to help with
the dishes while he cooks tho meal.
It Is probable that the agricultural
communities will get more work out
of feminine trainpdom than out of the
present vnrlety.as minding babies and
washing dishes are easier tasks than
sawing wood or mowing the lawn In
a boiling sun.
THE WOMAN BURGLAR.
Artother occupation hitherto monopo
lised by unfeeling man is that of safe
robbing and general housebreaking.
The Cone Man, particularly the old
bachelor, will look under the bed every
night to see If a burglar woman is
:!c"e. There will be thrilling stories
p. il'c ' i-vm a i cis every t'.iy of women
t'obheitt ii.vtiiiiiiii an Inoffensive man's
house, nud after terrifying the poor
creature almost to death taking away
all his proiterty, not even leaving him
his socks.
Robbery, of course, has many rami
fication. All bank cashiers, tellers
and presidents who will flee to parts
unknown to gamble away the moneys
of other people In riotous living will
be wonieu. They will leave disgraced
husbands at home and children who
will sorrow over the downfall of the
head of tlie family.
THE BAD DIME-NOVEL GIRL.
Holding up trains Is another branch
of this exciting pursuit which the com
ing woman may grab. Of course tlie
desperate doings of women despera
does will create a desiro in the minds
of the little girls to go out West or
somewhere and live a life of thril
ling adventure. All the dime novels
will be devoted to exciting literature
of tlie blood-curdling sort setting forth
the career of "Hair-Plu Hattle; or the
Daughter of Doom." Another popu
lar one may be "Tin-Horn Tessie; or,
The Tapper of Tills."
BEATS HER POOR FATHER.
Street corner loiters will find them
selves forced Into ignominious back
ground when the New Woman gets in
to Tier stride. There will be many sad
cases of strong, healthy young women,
whose mothers are too old to work,
and whose fatliejs lovingly and pa
tioutly support inem by the fruits of
the washtub; Instead of driving
thicks or carrylnjr the hod these same
young women will nea,fc their old fath
ers on Saturday' lilght because there
Is not enough money In the house to

blow off the gang to beer.
All the tough gangs will be made op
of women, and nice home-loving young
men will be constantly complaining to
the police about the cruel treatment
they receive at the bands of these ruf
flanesses while on the way borne
from sewing school.
DOOM OF THE HIRED GIRL.
The hired girl will be completely
wiped out and that seems to be the
only blessing In sight She will be
working on the docks or petrolling the
beat trying to mash the general house
work man. Whether the latter will
want many days off a week or Insist
upon playing the piano and receiving
his steady company in the parlor like
the present specleconly the Gone Man
can tell. It will be his task to wrestle
wttb the household problem, and If
dinner Isn't ready every night on time
he may get a black eye.
Little girts will shoot marbles, spin ,
top, fly kites, throw stones, break
windows, steal barrels for election
night tires, and enjoy the other pleas
ure of young America, while the little
boy will play dolls, look pretty and
stay at home and acquire a knowl
edge of the art of housekeeping.
The labor unions will be all officered
by women, ami the female walking del
egate can lie counted upou to be a ter
ror. Any dating man who may re
main at the head of a corporation will
speedily lie froaen out and there will
lie nothing but atrlkea and bylawa
passed giving each employe half a day
on Monday to attend bargain counter
sales. The time-worn custom of the
wage-earner handing the pay over on
Saturday night to the keeper of the
household will be dropped, otherwise
ttie bargain counters would nave to go
out of iiiiKlnesa.
This ts merely an outline sketch of
what will happen when the New Wo
man la in control. Let the Coming
Woman read it and pause in her on
ward rush toward turning the world
upside down. Let her throw her
bloomers out of the window and be
satisfied with the Present Man.
