TO OUBPATEONS
The 2skw Northwest is going to
lmvea few months' vacation. Ouryoung
ami growing sons have stood faithfully
nt the case for twenty-three months,
and now, having been prostrated by an
attack of measles the prevailing epi
demicthey are unable, at once, to re
some their work, and the finances of the
paper will not justify us in employing
other aid, so we now propose to spend a
few months In lecturing, organizing
suflrago societies, and soliciting finan
cial aid for our paper. "We well know
that iltc brain of the country are our
friends. Our journalistiecareerhas been
not only much more pleasant than we
expected, but it has and we do not say
it boatlngly compelled the admiration
of our friends, and awakened the aston
ishment of our enemies,
"When we resume publication we hope
to issue the r.w Northwest both
dally ami weekly. A small, spicy,
sprightly, wide-awake and cheap even
ing paper Is one of the wants of our me
tropolis. Tins we propose to furnish,
and to gather strength and means for
the work, we must have respite for a
.while from editorial labors, while our
boys must breathe country air, and cul
tivate their strength and muscles In
outdoor exercises. And now we say to
our many friends and patrons who have
stood nobly by us in our very expensive
enterprise, you will be compelled to re
double your diligence. "We have proved
that women must have a nctcspapcr.
"We have proved that they can enter the
field hitherto monopolized by the sterner
sex, and wield a jxnrer with the best of
them. "Wc have proved that not only
one but many women of Oregon, Cali
fornia and Washington, hitherto un
known to the public, arc logical, Inter
esting and ready writers. We have
proved that the foremost men of the
State, and, indeed, the best men every
whore, favor the special object of our
mission. Wo have proved that the
enemies of women's enfranchisement
are to be found only among low, Ignor
ant, vulgar and scurillous men and
idle, vain, silly, coarse or extremely
fashionable women. "We have also
proved, as we knew when we begun,
that our enterprise would require large
ami continued outlay of capital. "We
have not proved, however, that many
persons are willing to assist, except by
the subscription prices of the paper, for
which we must of course render a full
carfi equivalent, no matter at what pe
cuniary sacrifice to ourself. Now, we
say to our friends, you must aid lis. A
few noble-minded friends have loaned
us sums of ten and twenty dollars each,
to use without interest until the income
of the New Northwest shall justify
payment. "We must have one hundred
such assistants. We know that we can
get them aiHl this we now propose to
do.
We have earned, and should of right
hoW, a lucrative position in the Itepub
Hcan party. Tiie women of Orefron
have demanded this for our enterprise J
and failed. The party has stultified it
self in its "mindful obligations to the
loyal women" etc etc., and it must take
the consequences. Men who have never
aided the party in any way that will
bear the light are appointed to positions
that belong to us, while women, wielding
an influence that will, if turned against
the party, ruin it in a future election,
are left to struggle in pecuniary embar
rassments in publishing an influential
Itepublieau paper, for the high crime of
sx.
We are a Republican, on progressive
principles, but we shall not stand still
because the party does. Last fall, while
the thunders from our voice and pen
were giving the opposition more anoy
ance than all other foes combined, wc
urged upon our beaten adversary the
fact that "the party that cannot progress
must die." We now, in all kindness
say the same to our brothers of the Ilo-p-ublienii
party. If they fail to fulful
their saered obligation to the women of
the country, they too must yield to the
inevitable law of progression and stand
aside for the march of those who will
meet the demand of the hour. Lot not
our brethren lay the flattering unction
to their souls that they will hear of us
no more. We are only letting go for a
stronger grip.
Again we say to our friends, wc shall
oxpeet you to aid us in an enterprise in
whieh every lover of. Human Bights is
interested. W shall visit your towns,
your school dietricte, your homes. Wo
shall be In every truth a missionary of
political righteousness, and shall, in a
few months at furthest, return to our
editorial post armed anew for the con
test. To those whosesubscriptions have not
yet oxpired we say, be patient for a
while. Fifty-two numbers constitute a
year's subscription and you shall have
your full quota in time. Exert your
selves to send us new subscribers, nnd
thus hurry up our work and yours. And
now, as we take editorial leave of you
for a season let us say as our last word,
be faithful to the eternal principles of;
American Independence. Bise above'
me groveling tlrought that it is the sex,
instead of the intellect or individuality
of humanity that should enjoy or be de
prived of iualieuable immunities. Let
us make this government in very deed
o the people and by the people, and let
equa lly, fidelity aud fraternitv b.onr
fraternity be our
watchword as the
on.
years go marching
OUR SENATOR.
Hon. J. H. Mitchell is making a very
favorable impression in Congress, if w
are to judge by the reports of the news
papers. Wo are proud to have such a
representative from our young State
aud shall look forward with no little
solicitude to his future course on the one
live issue of the day, Woman Suffrage.
FRIDAY.
SCANDAL.
Klscwhore we print a "card" and the
facts concerning it, to which we desire
to call the particular attention of those
who best understand it. Some of our
friends have regretted that we should
have taken any notice of the affair, in
asmuch as it but gives the scandal more
publicity and "a lie let alone will run
itself to death." Now, if the parties
personally Interested were the only ones
who were concerned, this sophistry
might have in it some show of logic,
but when we reflect upon the need of a
direct death-blow at the root of scandal
In the community where this matter is I
so rife; when we think of the horrible
example set before the young, who are
led by such conversation into wicked
thoughts, and consequent wicked prac
tices; when we think of the many other
abominable stories that have had their
horrible origin in the same "half-acre"
in days when woman had no newspaper
power with which to lash the fiendish
perpetrators into decency, we are con
strained, as a moralist, desiring to de
velop the conditions, acts, conversations
and cogitations of the people Into higher
and purer channels, to meet out punish
ment whero punishment is due. We
did not expect to gain friends among
the guilty by telling the truth. We
have historic proof wherein more than
ono far mightier than wc has fallen,
some even into crucifixion, for con
demning guilty defamers, and we well
knew that wc should recleve our share
of contumely and misrepresentation
forstaudingup for justice; but, if we, by
having incurred the personal animosity
of a few scandal-mongers, shall cause
that slander-stricken community to see
the exceeding sinfulness of their sin, we
care not how much they hate us for our
merciful and much needed act. We
have no animosity against them, and
shall hold no grudge, say they what
they may, but we are ready at all times
to believe anybody and everybody inno-
cent until proven guilty, and so are all ;
pcople who have confidence in their own
integrity.
When men aud women show them-J
selves ready to be arraigned against one
or more of their number, simply be
cause such persons, necessarily, or by
accident, are supposed to have had ojt-
portunity, provided they had the dispo
sition, to do something wicked, it Is high
time that community had a scnndal-
cmctic; and though it may make the
guilty rage, even their clioler will be
good for them. We know that the bet
ter portion of the citizens of the village
and its environs will rejoice that we '
have made the guilty squirm.
WOMAN SUPPRAGE IN UTAH.
The abominable bill, framed by Sena
tor FrelitiKhuyseii of New Jersev. anil I
approved by the Senate Judiciary Com-
mittee, which was designed as an es
pecial blow to Woman Suffrage in Utah
Territory, did not meet tho concurrence
of the House, and through the efforts of
tiie friends of women, has failed to be
come a law. This infamous Senator
went further, and proposed to rob every
woman in thcTerritories of horproperty
anu earnings, praying -mat tue com
mon law of England, in force in the Col
onies of America at the dale of the Dec
laration of Indepenccuce be extended
over aud declared to be in force in the
Territories," etc
The common law of England recog
nizes the right of tho husband to abso
lute owuership in the wife, her property
aud earnings; empowers him with the
privilege to whip her with a rod not
larger than his thumb, amfso on, while
to all 'ulents aud purposes she is in the
most aoject slavery. We opine that our
man's rights brethren who, thank
Heaven, are In a constantly Increasing
minority in high places, would find
snch a storm of indignation raised about
their cars in the Territories by the en
forcement of such a law, as they now
little dream of.
Alluding to Suffrage in Utah, the
Woman's Journal says, truly: "Wo can
understand perfectly well that the 'Gen
tiles of Utah,' who are principally min
ers and unmarried men without fami
lies, feel aggrieved at being out-voted by
the Mormons, of whom a largo portion
aro women. A husband, wife and
grown up daughter count three at the
polls, an unmarried man counts ono.
But, after all, this is right. Those wom
en are entitled to representation. If the
Gentile wishes to count three, lot him
also marry and rear children. We have
no sympathy with Mormonism or any
other form of Sectarianism. We abhor
polygamy and long to see it suppressed.
But the evil of Mormon rule is tempo
rary. The disparity in numbers of
Mormon and Gentilo women will soon
be reversed in favor of the Gentiles.
Why then does the Salt Lake Tribune
desert a true principlo whicli, if main
tained, will prove a permanent and in
estimable benefit, for the sake of an im
mediate and temporary advantage?"
THE "FOREST GROVE
INDEPEND-
ENT."
We have received the initial number
of a paper bearing the above title, which
wo have not yet had time to examine
particularly; but from a hasty glance
through it we judge it to be interesting.
Wc congratulate the citizens of that lo
cality upon such an important acquisi
tion to their various enterprises, and re
gret the financial disappointment in
store for the gentlemen who have un- '"" "

A GRIEVANCE.
Our friend, J. II. D. Henderson, has
a grievance. In our strictures upon the
action of certain weak-kneed Alliance
men, we said that "we had no hesltanc
In avowing that if the President pro
tern, had been content with the office of
executive, instead of assuming the role
of dictator" etc., whereupon ourbrother,
notwithstanding we sugared the bitter
truth with our softest sawder, grew in
dignant and stopped Ills paper because,
as he said, wc slandered him! Now,
whether the above was truth or slander
we leave the public to judge. When he
first called the meeting to order, Mr.
Henderson, in a short address, said, In
substance, that in order that the meet
ing bo harmonious, they must ignore
all side issues and discuss Temperance
only; just as if anybody expected to dis
cuss anything else except Temperance
aud the best way to advance it; unless,
indeed they were in the ring of which
liyan, Thornton and Wooden formed a
part. Then, while the amendment was
pending, this same President jwo. tern
arose and advised the delegates to vote
against the admission of the Suffragists
because, in i opinion they werea polit
cal party! If that isn't "dictation,"
what is it? Then, in the unheard of
proceeding of calling the roll of old
members, by which our delegation was
defeated by a majority of five, many re
fusing to vote because they were dis
gusted with the Intolerance and pro
scription of the act, there was evident
an unfairness which it is no slander to
criticise.
Against Mr. Henderson we have no
feeling of hostility. He was one of the
first men in Oregon to come out for
Woman Suffrage, and wc do not forget
the past, though he did, seemingly, go
back on his record; but his public acts
are public pioperty and he cannot pre
vent the people from judging them by
their fruits.
Our columns are open to him and all
others with a grievance, who may de-
sire to be beard, and we say to him in
all kindness that a far better way than
stopping the paper to get redress for a
real or imaginary wrong, is to use the
same columns that attack you for your i women'8 "protectors." How far you
own defense, that the same people who , ,lavc proved yourself a disciple of Jesus,
see the attack may have an opportunity j a,,d towhatan extent youcan be trusted
to sec the other side. This is tho only , to "protect" women, the above adver
fair style of journalism, and one to ' tlsement showetli clearly. So much
which we shall in the future, as ui the ! for what you profess to be and what you
past, strictly adiiere. Truth wrongs no
body, and to the tribunal of the people
everybody, can look for justice, pro
vided this tribunal can see aud knoval!

land purchasers, who arc attracted by
the double prospect or beaming fine

A pyramidal fountain has recently
been erected for the central sltuid, which
the enterprising proprietors purchased
in San Francisco at a cost of some three
thousand dollars. This ornament con
sists of six octagonal stands, or vasas,
each growing smaller as they ascend,
and each subdivided so as to present a
double front from botii sides, the cflect
of which is vastly multiplied by mir
rors, with silvered subdividing rods,
whicli reflect the exotics with which
tho various vases are adorned in such a
way as to give the beholder a pictured
view of many more plants than the
stand will hold. At the summit is a
silver plated crown with glass sides,
while a strong, silver plated railing,
about a hundred feet in circum
ference, surrounds the whole, serving as
protection as well as ornament to the
pa rani id.
Tho Central Market occupies the en
tire depth of tho block, and fronts to tiie

proprietors to finish and furnish a hand

the elegant design of the building
throughout. Wc are pleased to note
such evidences of enterprise and im

and plenty crowns the efforts of such
pioneers as Capt. Ankony, who by fair

attention to business has amassed a for

John 1Iii:i.
The above, from the- advertising col
umns of a local contemporary, being a
lame attempt on the part of the owner
of the euphonious signature attached, to
justify himself for placing a scandalous j
libel "on even tongue In his vicinity,"
thereby making the air of that delight
ful locality reek witli the cfiervesence
of his own pollution, wc republish in
these column--, that he may havo the
benefit or it gratis.
Aud now "John llird," the New
Northwest, always "the champion" j
of justice, haviug given you the above
benefit, shall unsheath her pen and pro
ceed to review your "card," and see
what there is in it; but to do tills ellec
tualiy we are compelled to give further
publicity to that scandal of which you
will yet further "regret the necessity"
beforo we shall have done with you.
You, "John Bird," profess to be one
of the "pure In heart," that "thinketh
no evil." Yon are an orthodox, and, pre
vious to having proved yourself a pru
rient spy upon the private walks of la
dies, were considered a respectable
member of the church of Jesus of Naza
reth, who not only never was guilty of
suspecting women of improper conduct
which lie could only prove by his own
footprints, but who, when a woman was
brought to him under positive accusation
of having committed a crime, said
simply, "Neither do I condemn thee,
go and sin no more."
And you, "John Bird," also profess to
be opposed to the enfranchisement of
women, on the cround that men are
arc not. Now for your "vcracitv." and
the attempt of tho New Northwest
"to bid bold and wanton defiance to a
public sentiment generally on the side
of chastity." Our readers have but to
re-peruse the article which you thus nt-
tempt to bcslinie, and theii re-read the
above accusation against the aforesaid
article to prove you a most unmitigated
liar, whosoown evidence is his strongest
; possible adversary. That article was

and then, finding their own footprints,
uuuiusuingiy proclaim tnem "some
other man's."
Just how "little you may be at fault"
for having your name "connected witli
tho matter," the abovo explanation
will show. Now, "John Bird," having
proved you a liar by two most iiositive
acts and statements of your own volun
tary will, how far are you to be believed
on your other testimony? A man who
will tell one lie will fro, and the man
who will tell tico will swear to both of
them.
As married women are "protected" (1)
Heaven save the mark! by men, and
are in consequence unable to prosecute
a slandering villain unless through their :
husbands, and as the husband of the'
lady in question can bring more than .
one substantial witness who will readily;
swear that they would not believe you j
or your lecherous accomplice on oath,
aud consequently, ho for the present at
least, declines to prosecute you, it is a
very poor argument against tho lady
that such as you should challenge her to
do that whicli, being in the situation
politically of a child, insane person or
criminal, (Just as your wife Is, she has
no power to do. Again, "John llinl,'.'
when you speak "of legal redress being
open to innocence" you very well know
you are telling another lie. The inno
cent woman naturally shrinks from the
coarse ribaldry and obscene publicity of
a trial for slander. Besides the previous
character of your accursed accomplice,
aud the present light in which you stand
before the intelligent better portion of .
the community, who judge you by the
companyyou keep, the tracks you make j
and
the words you utter, renders it I
certain that you would stop at no vil
lainy in the way of suborning anti-suffrage
witnesses against your betters.

HOME AGAIN.
Mr. Ben Holladay arrived in Portland
on Sunday oflast week, after an absence
of several mouths. As the steamer
neared the wharf a salute to the citv
was fired from its guns and a crowd of
sneelntnrs
issemoieu on the docks to
gaze at or greet tiie railroad potentate, i
as he paced the stenmer- m . '
self-consciousness that said, "I'm mon
arch of all I survey." On the following
evening a serenade was tendered him,
and speeches of welcome were made by
Hons. J. X. Dolph and J. F. Caples, af
ter winch, as wc read in his personal
journals, free lunch, free jokes, free
wines and so forth were heartily in
dulged in by the voting sex.
The above is given as a matter of news.
Now for comments: Wc have alwavs
admired the financial ability displayed
by Ben Holladay in raising from obscu
rity and poverty to the supreme control
of magnificent enterprises. Personally
we ought to dislike him much, because
he has always treated us shabbily;
but we know that his man Friday,
whom he has' a perfect right to hire
as a body sen-ant, has caused him to do
so, and we do not care.
If the men who cry " monopoly, op
pression, ruin, taxation and one-man
power," would use a little more com
mon seuso and much less invective
against men who simply use and con
trol the system of finance, foster
ed by the government, they might
have some show of success, but while
allarestrugglingly clambering toward
such a goal as Holladay has readi
ed, it is simply silly to derido him
because he is successful. Messrs.
Teal and Goldsmith are working, just
as he works, to get all they can and
keep all they get. They and Holladay
are developing the resources of the
country and we rejoice that they are
succeeding; but to healthy competition
only can the people look for freedom
from financial despotism.
Our whole system of finance, is radi
cally wrong. The ricli are constantly
growing richeraud the poor poorer. To
the government alone should belong
lauded titles and transportation enter
prises, and to this idea must this peo
ple's government arrive at last. The
first grand step toward this goal is to
make ail the people free. Accomplish
tills aud the rest will follow.
DOES YOURPAPER PAY ?
This question has been asked us so of
ten by friends who are much interested
in our enterprise because it is their work
as well as ours, that we will now make
a statement of facts, that they may
know upon what wo base our calcula
tions for the future.
Wo have made the New Nokth west
pay, by doing all the work within our
own family, and had we been out of
debt at the commencement of publi
cation would now be in easy circum
stances, wniie our possessions, never
great, are equal to what they were when
wo began, our indebtedness is less by fif-
' teen Hundred noiiars man two years
since. And if we were able to endure the
. amount of mental and physicil labor
! two years longer that we have borne
! since this public work began, wc should
then havo no further embarrassment.
But the labor we are performing Is sui
cide. Four of tiie strongest men in the
State would break down under it, and
wo shall not attempt it lomrer. Wo

labors, will be compelled hereafter to

our share of the public burden, ami wc j

I ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.
Nellie Mossman, Olympia, writes as
follows: "Will you please send the
mouey back to Olympia, to Mrs. M.
Vincent, if you cannot send the Demo
rcst Magazine? She is very anxious to
get the book, but as it does not come,
wants to so the money for other pur
poses. .Neither of us have received the
Magazine and chromo, although the
paper comes regularly. What does It
mean ? This is tho second letter I have
written upon the subject and hope to
hear from you immediately." If there IS
one thing more annoying than all things
else it is a failure of this kiud on the
part of the mails, or publishers of peri
odicals, one or both, to do their duty.
It has now been about two months since
we sent a club of fivo subscribers and
money order from this office to W. Jen
nings Demorest, and from three of tho
five we hear the complaint that thej
have not received their property. The
well known character of the Magazine
leads us to believe it impossible that
the fault lies with its proprietors, but as
that will not, aud should nor, salisfy
our patrons and theirs, wo print the
above that all may see that wo have
done our duty. Will write them pri
vately inclosing your note.
Exeter Mills, Maine: You should ad
dress the proprietors. If subscribers fail
to receive a number or numbers of a
magazine ordered by another publica
tion they must hold the owneis of such
magazine responsible. Wc pay over the
money to them when we order the pub
lication and there our responsibility
ceascs. Many thanks for your words of
cheer. We hope in a few months to re
new our work, making our paper better
than ever before, because we shall by
that time have so arranged our business
that we can devote more time to edito
rials,
Mrs. H. C, Salem, writes: "I do not
see what made you suv or think that
the scceders from the Alliance were hos
tile not to Woman Suffrage, but to
Mrs. Duniway. You will pardon me,
but the very reverse Is true. They could
have had no personal spite at you, for
your worst enemy can find no fault with
you except that you very fearlessly
fight oppression and wickedness. I
think you do yourself injustice in ac
cepting odium that does not belong to
you." Dear friend, you entirely mistook
our meaning. They were not opposed
to us personally, more than to other
Suffragists, but they knew that we
could and would talk in meeting, while
they believed that other Suffragists
would allow themselves to be brow
beaten because unaccustomed to public
speaking. That's all except poor old
Thornton's personal pique at us as
successful literary opponent. He's
childish and harmless, and only need:
a little ioothingsyrup or molasses candy
to set him right again. We regard the
Alliance victory as thegreatestSuffrage
gain yet made in tho State. The un
principled character of the opposition
came out in such plain contrast to the
clear-headed liberalism of the intelli
gent majority of the people that our
cause unconsciously made itself converts
by the hundred during the melee it
was nothing else who would not other
wise have given it a thought.
.Many letters are unavoidably com
pelled to wait for answers until we can
attend to them privately. The serious
illness in our household during the past
month has so sadly inconvenienced
us that it has been impossible to do
everybody immediate justice. Add to
this the fact that we are worn out, phys
ically aud mentally, and we are sure
you will all be ready to forgive u.
She Didn't Cauk. A Brighton man

i chalance, he seized his pistol, and sten-

the last agonies of dissolution. At this
stage of the proceedings it was the wife's
part to climb out of the whitlow and fall
on the supposed corpse of her husband
with loud lamentations. Butshe didn't.
On the contrary, undoubtedly enter

ting the power confined In the compressed me
diums or Imparted by the condensing apparat
us, substantially as described.
2. The employment ol a main reservoir filled
with gns-ous mediums compressed by means
or pumps or other condensing apparatus, and
fitted with suitable pipes, tubes, stop-cocks,
valves, valve-gearing, and appendages for the
purpose of storing, retaining, distributing ami
transmitting, for use outside of the condensing
apparatus or mechanism the power confined
In the compressed mediums or Imparted by
the condensed apparatus, substantially as de
scribed. A The use of metallic reservoirs, plpes.tnbes
and other accompanying mechanism, corned
on the inside with close-grained metaisTvegSi
tabic gums, resins, oils or extracts, whan niled
with compressed mediums, to prevent the es
cape of the gaseous Inslles through the pores of
the Investing metal as above desert bed.
4. The use of the refrigerating or coifllng nn-
pamtus with the cylinder in which the caseous
mediums are condensed for the purposes or
power, When combined with the cylinder eith
er externally or Internally, substantially as de
scrilied. '
3. The use of the hollow piston with suitable
valves and connections, for the purpose or
causing a current or cool fluid to circulate
through the piston and connections, for tho
purpose and in the manner set forth.
6. The combination of a reservoir or com
pressed gaseous mediums by means of tubes or
pipes of any suitable material, with stop-cocks
valves and other proper connections and anl
pendages, through and by means of which the
