for casting miro and dirt at the leaders
in the Woman MoycmcHL"
Since the above was written, General
Grant has reformed from another bad
habit of which he last March was, guil
tv, the pernicious one of Ignoring or
snubbing the taxed, misrepresented and
protesting half of his people. Therefore,
we say all honor to him. And upou the
coarse, bigoted, narrow-minded old do
tard who cannot get the top of his glis
tening pate above the filthy pool of sex
ual politics, but who stands ready to re
move from places of emolument and
trust the hundreds of struggling women
whom General Grant has given em
ployment, that they may thereby ele
vate themselves from the necessity of
bodily immolation upon the altar of
lust for bread, the women of America
with one accord are crying "anathema."
Reform in politics is what we are
working for; but we never will or can
succeed until the Nation rises above the
idea of sex as connected with govern'
ment. Grant and Wilson see the neces
sity of this reform and are taking Judi
cious steps to secure it. The mongrel
party of rebels, disaffected politicians,
pro-slavery men and women-subjuga-
tors are pledged to masculine supremacy
and one-sexed government; therefore
all their cries about "reform" in the
course they are taking are worse than
nothing and vanity.
SEXUALPOLITICS.
In looking over the piles of exchanges
that were laid away for our personal
consideration upon our return, we find
muoli that would have made times live
ly for tho newspaper business had we
but been at our post before the allusions
to and criticisms upon ourself in partic
ular and Woman Suffrage in general
became so stale and flat as to render
them, at this date, unprofitable. Rut
our political opponents are still endeav
oring to make capital out of "The Silent
Man of Destiny;" so for their enlight
enment, if indeed it be possible to pene
trate tho filth-encrusted cranium of a
sexual politician, we publish au article
from the Olympia Courier in another
column; also extracts from some pri
vate correspondence relative to the
same subject, which was held last
March with a prominent Republican
gentleman of this State, who, not see
ingourobject in resorting to Allophathic
treatment in a necessary attempt to
cure a great, aggressive ulcer with
which men were innoculating the
Woman Movement, but who only saw
possible harm accruing to his party
from the publication of facts which he
could not gainsay, took us to task in a
kindly sovore and mercifully caustic
missive, which, had he consented, we
should have gladly given to the public
in our columns. But to the correspond
ence, or rather such parts of it as relate
directly to the question at issue: said
our friend:
"Is it noticing that General Grant has
reformed and is now leading a virtuous
life?"
To which we unhesitatingly replied:
"Wo emphatically avow that it is
much, everything."
"Again," said he, "suppose a woman
had done so, do you think I, as her
noighbor, would bo Justified In publish
ing her former career long after she had
reformed ?"
"Most certainly you would not," we
wrote, "unless she were a representative
head of a greatclass of people whom you
knew you could teach a great moral,
wholesome and much-needed reform by
expressing the facts for the good of a
down-trodden half of her constituency.
"Suppose now that this woman en
joyed the highest honors in the gift of
her fellow women, as President of a
great nation ; that she should then Ig
nore the disfranchised imagine now
that the present relations of the sexes
are changed and that she should give
forth her annual messages in which the
rights of voters (women) were carefully
considered, but treating with silent con
tempt her large majority of disfran
chised constituents who had by tens of
thousands petitioned her for the rights
of freemen, not even rebuking the par-1
ties in power for their scurrillous libels
upon the character of virtuous men
(with whom character for virtue was
the only possible defense), don't you
think an earnest, conscientious member
of and leader in the disfranchised ranks
would in that case be justified in pluck
ing the beam from the eyes of the dom
inant party, that that party might thus
see clearly to pluck tho mote from the
eyes of the subjugated class ?
"We agree with you that Gen. Grant
has reformed. We have nothing to say
against his Administration that we
would not say against any other one
sexed and consequently corrupt Admin
istration. We published the at
tack without the explanation that he
had reformed on purpose to make our

THE SENATORIAL CONTEST.
The Senatorial contest waxes fierce
and hot, J. H. Mitchell and H. W
Corbettr the two opposing candidates,
are both strongly supported, but the
signs of the times indicate that Mitch
ell is ahead.
While we have nothing to condemn
in Corbett as a Senator, wo are free to
confess that to Mrs. Corbett as such we
have the grave objection that she has
busied herself in Washington with the
very reprehensible occupation of trying
to rivet the political chains of women
whose husbands do not hold public of
fices. Therefore, we say to Woman
Suffragists in the Legislature, vote
against her and prove yourselves true
to your professions. Wo know that
Mrs. Mitchell will be guilty of no such
unwomanly aggression as that whicl
Oregon women so justly condemn in
Mrs. Corbett. While we hold Mrs. C,
private character in high esteem, her
public acts are fit subjects of public
comment; therefore we waut her elected
to "stay at home," whore she says all
women belong.
women whoso intellects and earnestness
so much admired go so squarely
counter to all their former professions is
truly discouraging, and that, too, for so
small a mess of pottage as is offered in
the Philadelphia Platform.

Portland, Sept. 11th, ISTi
J. A". Gale, Esq. Dear Sir: Although
I sometimes despair of getting a clear
perception of real reform principles
through the brains of well-meaning men
like yourself, who seem to be determined
to grasp only one idea at a time, yet my
long experienco as a teacher bids me to
keep trying, as success sometimes crowns
my efforts when I least expect it. Your
charge that I "have gone back on every
thing," or anytlting, I deny in tolo. And
you must allow me in all kindness, to
say to you that a man who supports
Greeley for President, In consideration
of his present position upon the "woman
question," is the last one who should
call himself a "Woman Suffragist," or
in any way in sympathy with much
needed reforms.
Had you read the New Xouthwkst
more closely, you would not have made
the accusation which I have just denied;
and if you will read the present issue
carefully, you will take back the slander
If you have the character for compre
hension and honesty that I have given
you credit for possessing. Allow me to
assure you that I am confident that
when you thoroughly understand your
self and me and that small mens of pot-
teffc, you will be ashamed of your
present blindness. And further, if
yourself, "whose intellect and earnest
ness I so much admire," should in
reality become guilty of ten times worse
political judgment than in imagination
you have accorded me, your conduct
would not change my principles about
tne woman .Movement one whit, or
make mc lose faith in humanity except
in your individual case.
For your aid and counsel in the past I
am and ever will be truly grateful; and
for your clearer perception of your
further duties as a friend of political and
social reform, I remain kindly and
hopefully, Your friend,

Mrs. Dr. Clemence Lozier, Dean of this

her aspirations have opportunity to ex

knowledge of her struggles and tri

present honor, wealth, position and in

IMPOETANT CHANGE.
The public were startled last Wednes
day morning by the announcement at
the head of the Orcgonian's editorial
columns that H. W. Scott, who hail
been that paper's editor-in-chief for
over seven years, had withdrawn from
his position. On Thursday the Oregon-
tan announced W. Lair Hill as Mr.
Scott's successor, and still further star
tled the public by the statement that
Henry L. Pittock had sold out to an as
sociation of gentlemen, who will con
duct it as a strictly Republican Journal
as heretofore. While we regret the de
parture of Mr. Scolt from a post he has
filled so long and ably, wo are pleased
to welcome his successor as a man
worthy his responsible position.
PASmON.
Pretty women often want something
to put in their hair of an evening that
looks dressy and is not anything like a
cap. They are advised, whether pretty
or old, or not old or pretty at all, to pur
chase about a yard of claret velvet, and
the same quantity of claret ribbon, a
tea rose and a tip of light blue plume.
They will make bows of the ribbon,
place the rose in the center and let the
plume curl about tho ensemble. This
will bo found very effective on a blonde;
tho brunctto can select a damask rose
and prefer a white plume.
Solid colored silks and rich poplins
will be most fashionable for street cos
tumes; dark green, brown, black, ma
roon and navy blue will bo the most
fashionable colors.
Low-necked dresses are now entirely
a thing of tho past, all evening dresses
being cut a la Pompadour, heart-shaped
or square over the shoulders.
In-door dresses are made up much
plainer than last season. Overskirts
are frequently omitted, the plain domi-
traln and stylish polonaise being
deemed sufficient
Tho new style of wedding cards are
marked with one letter only, instead of
a monogram, and are plainly engraved
on thick white paper.
Large silk and velvet cloaks reaching
nearly to the bottom of the dress, witl
long circular capes, are to be very fash
ionable next winter.
The double cape of bright Scotcl
plaid is a very fashionable and stylish
street garment of young girls from ten
to fifteen.
The stylo of arranging tho back hair
for the next season will be a Frencl
twist surrounded by a twisted coil or
heavy braid.
We get the following from the Olym
pia Courier:
Since the manifesto of the woman suffragists
In favor of Grant and Wilson, no little interna

Truly spoken, friend Courier; and
when the motley crowd of Grecleyites,
with Jasper Johnson at their head, start
up Salt River next November, Greeley
will learn that six hundred thousand
voters are of more consequence than
"sixty thousand cooks."
Brother Ike of the Herald thinks the
ex-editor of the Orcgonian is a pretty
"smart boy," and might have made a
man of himself if he had remained an
editor till he was grown.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS
In looking over the immense bundles

We are now, however, doing our utmost

them that nobody has been to blame.
The clerk who had charge of this de
partment during our absonco deserted
his post nearly a month before our re
turn, leaving something of a chaos in
his wake. We hope this explanation

Hints for Husbands.
There is an article afloat iu tho papers
cutitled "Golden rules for wives," which
enjoins on the ladies a quiet submission
to ineir nusuands' wins anu wnims.
But the art of livinc tocether in har-
monyisa very difficult art; and without
confuting the position of the author of
the afbreeid rules, we offer the follow
ing as lite substance ot what a wile
likes in a husband:
r ulelity is her heart's first and most
ust demand. The act of infidelity a
true woman cannot forgive; it rudely
breaks the ties that bound her heart to
his, and that tie can never more exist.
ihe llrst place in her husband's affec
tion no true wifn in dn without. AVhen
she loses that, she has lost her husband;
is u wiuow, anu nas to enuure me
pangs of bereavement intensified by the
presence or what she no longer possesses.
There is a living mummy in the house
reminding her of her loss in the most
painful manner.
A woman likes licr husband to excel
in the qualities which distinguish the
masculine from the feminine being, such
as strength, eourace. fortitude aud judg
ment, mile wants her nusoatm to ue
wholly a man she can entirely respect,
reiy ou and believe in.
A wifo doarlv likes to have her
husband stand high in the regard of the
community in which they reside. Sho
lines to ihj thoucht uv her own sex a
fortunate woman in having such a hus
band as she has. She has a taste for the
respectable, desires to have a good-looking
front loor. and to keep up a good
appearance generally. Some wives, it
is sani, carry this too far, anil some hus
bands we Know are dangerously com
placent in yielding to the front door
ambition of their wives. But a good
husband will like to gratify his wife in
tliis respect, as Tar as he can, without
sacrificing more important objects.
i-unec t sincerity a wile expects, or at
icasi, iiu rigm to expect iroin her hus
band. She desires to know tho ronlitv
of the case, however it may be concealed
irom me woriu. it wrings her heart and
wounds her pride to discover that her
husband has not wholly confided in her.
A man may profitably consult his wife
on almost any project; it is duo to her
that he should do so, and sho is glad to
be consulted.
Above most other things, a wife craves
lior husband's appreciation.
Tho great majority of wives lead lives
of severe and anxious toil. With un
imaginable anguish and peril to their
lives they become mothers. Their chil
dren require incessant care. "Only the
eye or uou watciies like a mothers."
says Fanny Fern iu that chapter iu
"Ruth nail," winch depicts with such
power and truth a mother's aconizin"
anxieties. And besides her maternal
.
cares, a wiie is me queen regent of a
household kingdom, fche has to think
and nlan. and work for evorvhodv. If.
in all her labors and cares, she feels that
she has her husband's sympathy and
gratitude, if he helps her where a man
can help a woman, if he notices her
effort."', applauds her skill, and allows
lor her deiicieucies, all is well. But to
endure all this, and yet meet with no
appreciating word or glance or act from
him for whom she toils and bears, is
very bitter.
A wife likes her husband to show her
all due respect in the presence of others;
she cannot bear to be reproved or crit
icised by him when others can hear it.
Indeed it is most wrong in a husband
thus to put his wife to shame. Wo can
not help secretly admiring the spirit of
the French woman, who, when her hus
band had so wronged her, refused to
utter a word, and for twenty years lived
in the house a dumb woman. Wq ad
mire her spirit, though not her manner
of manifesting it. Husbands owe the
most perfect respect to their wives as the
mothers of their children. No man lias
tho slightest claim to the character of a
gentleman who is not more scrupulously
poiiteioius wiie innn any other woman

toatrord the greatest relief to the greatest num

rendering any right or obligation due to the
