FRIDAY JUNE
1S73.
SATURDAY EVENING LEOTUEE.
Ou Saturday evening, June 28th, we
shall lecture in Oro Fitio Hall upon
"Professor Fowler anil the Head of the
Family." We hope to see all our friends
and enemies if we have any as wo
have cathered some decided hits from
Professor Fowler's lectures and writings
wlrich he doesn't see. Admission free. I
"We shall also lecture on Sunday at
eleven o'clock upon the "Moral Need of
the Enfranchisement of Woman," and
at S r. M. upon "National Finance and
its Bearings Upon the Morals of Hu
manity." These will probably be our last lec
tures in Portland for many months to
come, as wo have many engagements
for the interior.
NOTICE TO DELINQUENTS.
We are preparing, as rapidly as our
many other duties will allow, a state
ment of each delinquent's account upon
postal cards with which we shall supply
alt in their turn. We shall 6top the
paper of every subscriber as fast as the
time expires for which payment has
been made, provided they do not renew.
Any agents having money in their pos
sessions are requested to remit at once.
A FEW FACTS.
We call the attention of the croaking
few who are half frightened out of their
wits because we do not choose to pass
.sentence upon Senator Mitchell upon
anonymous roportorial evidence, though
we aro willing and ready to convict him
upon legal testimony, to the very sensi
ble letter from Lafayette in this issue.
And while we are upon this subject it is
well, perliajH, to say, once for all, to
those timid ones who never subscribe
for the Np.w Nokthwkst, nor seek in
any way to assist us in its arduous la
bors, for which we neither receive nor
expeet personal remuneration, but who
constitute themselves public and pri
vate censors over our journalistic acts,
if we don't work in the Woman Move
ment to suit you, go ahead yourselves,
and we promise, if we do not indorse all
you do and say which of course we
shall not that we shall nevertheless
subscribe for your paper, and contribute
our own opinions to its columns if you diuppear.
WOMEN IN RELIGION' OB POLITICS.'
Oh, how difficult it is for men to over
come the ridiculous idea that there is,
somehow, some inherent, radical differ
ence in the spheres of the sexes, which
women are all the while seeking to
overcome, and they God bless them!
in their superior wisdom and piety,
equally striving to sustain! And then
again, how strange it is that they never
Imagine that women have any sole
province aside from man's, while they
have many aside from woman's!
A recent morning Bulletin is out with
an elaborate specimen of masculine ob-
fuscation, headed "Women in Religion
and Politics," which called forth the
above exclamations, and yet we are not
satisfied.
Says tho Bulletin: "Religion is a
home comfort and perpetual joy as well
as solace, while politics belong more to
the streets and the haunts of men, and
come more frequently laden with disap
pointment and revenge than with con
tentment and loving kindness toward
all. By all means, then, let us have
women cling and devote themselves to
religion and abstain from politics in ev
ery ostentatious manner.
Women In religion always, In politics
never."
Now, why do "politics belong to the
streets and the haunts of men," sir?
You answer because of the "filthy pool."
Women deny that you have anj right
to such a filthy pool, sir. That you
have it, dabble in it, take home the foul
smell of it upon your garments, and as
sociate in the closest relationships with
women whom you declare must be kept
free from such contaminations, while
the very fact that they must associate
with you renders tho avoidance of such
contamination Impossible, makes it im
perative upon them despite your de
precatory exhortations in public and in
private to go down into that "pool"
and cleanse it. We must do this work
or our "religion" will amount to
naught.
Ours indeed is the "fond and para
mount sphere of duty to mould and
guide the young In virtue's walks, and
so to preside at home that while relig
ion shall be always there with its pre
cious and cheering light," there shall
be no "baleful discussion of polities'' to
"break in upon the family group to
make the hearthstone like the street,"
for women should be "in religion al
ways, in politics" ever. This only will
cause all that is "baleful" in politics,
yea, and your "filtliv pool" itself, to
THE SHAME 0F ST. LOUIS.
The terrible abomination called the
Coutageous Disease Act, which has re
cently became a law In St. Louis, has
awakened a storm of indignation among
mousanus 01 leaning women 01 tue city,
who, prior to the passage of this Act,
had taken no part or lot hi the Woman
Movement.
This Act was framed by men and for
men, and for the express purpose of
shielding themselves in social crimes.
If we should publish this odious Act
we have little doubt but there are bus-
bands and fathers ' plenty among our
readers who'would'feel-thnfwo Would
be indicted for sending obscene prints
through tho United States mails, yet
these same husbands and fathers should
know that such is local law in St. Louis
that if their wives or daughters should
be thrown by fortune in that city alone,
unknown and unattended, and should
they dare to seek lodgings for the night,
they would at once become objects of
suspicion and arrest; and despite their
protestations of Innocence, they would
be subjected to tho indigulty of mascu
line medical examination, and com
pelled to pay license for plying an In
famous trade, or be-imprisoned in the
city jail!
Yet in this same moral city men can
go anywhere unchallenged, transmit
loathsome diseases among fallen women
with Impunity, or catching an abomin
able and nameless contagion, Inflict the
same upon their luuocent wives and
children as an inalienable privilege!
A memorial of 1,000 women praying
for the repeal of the Social Evil ordi
nance, was presented recently to the
Committee of. Council on Sanitary af
faire, who called a special meeting to
discuss it. Among many other very
good reasons for the repeal of the
"Shame of St. Louis," wo select the following:
The ordinance should be repealed, because It

ANNTVEBSABY WEEK.
The Anniversary Week, which re
cently closed in Boston, has been a most
encouragingonefor the friends of Wom
an Suffrage. For from first to last,
woman has taken a more varied and in
fluential part in the proceedings than
itexceedingly" if shcshould "go to S'ng j ever before, as will be seen by the fol

"little sympathy with people who ob
stinately tempt fate."
Well, brother Crandall, somebody
must break the phalanx of prejudice
and "make, way for Liberty.'1, ever byj
only the slimmest chance for escape.1
So thought and acted men who framed
tho Declaration of Independence which
precipitated the whole couutry into a
bloody revolution. You to-day would
be enduring taxation without represen
tation, tyrannous as is such a regula
tion, hadyourancesters been "content to
wait for changes" in laws that might
or might not come of "popular agita
tion." Miss Anthony had no desire to
"manifest contempt of man's Injustice
and tyranny by defying law and chal
lenging retribution." She believed and
knew that, under the law, she had the
right of citizenship. Eminent counsel
so assured her, and it was to test this
tliat she voted and will vote again.
Says Crandall, 'They wbo govern must
first learn to be governed." In lit a own

But let us for a momeut agree with
you that woman should devote herself
to religion alone. Then follows the log
ical conclusion, based upon your own
argument, that religion is woman's .sole
province, and man must have nothing
to do with it. For, if God has so consti
tuted the sexes that their co-association
is wrong In politics, it is equally so in
religion; consequently, when a mau

The Rev. George F. Pentecost was the

were four Instances In the Bible in di

fallen women; that the harlot Rahab
was one in the line of our Lord's ances
try, that Mary Magdalen's love and de
votion to him were chronicled, and that
we had hla example in forgiving the
woman taken in adultery. He said
that those who should be foremost in
this reform church menbers were
those from whom most opposition was
to be found; that fallen woman had no
enemy so bitter as unfallen woman
There is a pride of sex, a sternness of
virtue which can judco nothinsr so

he said, cannot be a purely moral re
form; it must be also a religious reform

help of our Lord Jesus Christ. No man
or woman can be lifted out of any sin,

The Woman Suflrage question has
penetrated Italy, and a woman's rights
paper is publiihod at Venice. It is
edited by an Italian lady, Mile. Beccari.
In a recent number, it was stated that
.an application to admit women to the 1
Universities of Turiu and Rome was re
plied to as follows: 'There is no need of
a law to permit women to enter the col
leges, since there is no law which pro
hibits their doing so." Accordingly
i-some Italian girls applied, and are now
studying philosophy and attending lec
tures at the University of Rome. An

love of .self" which our brother says is
"necassarily engendered by politics" is
an abnormtil growth of unnatural condit

by wallowing in that "filthy pool." It
is man's province to let the light of
home shed its effulgence upon both re
ligion and politics, and it is woman's
province to aid and guide aud counsel
him in each of these relations as well
for his benefit as her own happiness,
that by the logic of one and the intui

may be elevated to a higher ideal of

But we have great fault to find with
Miss Anthony's sentence. It is alto
gether too light. If sho was really
guilty of illegal voting and the majesty
of tho law can be appeased by a paltry
fine of one hundred dollar?, woe woe to
masculine supremacy! Thoro were
fourteen other participants, and fifteen
into one hundred gives tlie insignificant
sum of $0 t6J, as "the price of a great
National crime against tho majesty of

The Suflrage Festival which took
place the same evening at Wesleyan

congratulations and good wishes. Some
of which we have published.

The New England Moral Reform So

five years for the reclamation of the
fallen, held its nunual .meeting Iu Wes

the movement of reforming the way
of the Uospcl, from his cigar let me
tell Brother Trask that I do not believe
the sin is as great as he may imagine in
his bigotry as to save a womau from
harlotry. (Mr. Trask "hear that, la
dies!") Mr. Pentecost said that were a
woman who had been a prostitute, but
had reformed and been converted, to
present herself before a church for ad
mission, she would be refused, but the
man who seduced her, let he be ever so
uotorlous a rogue, were he to profesi
convertion, would bo gladly received.
And it is not the men of. the church
but the women, who woutd do this.
The Rev. George H. Vibbert and the
Rev. Mr. Parker followed iu reraarli

This society convened nt ten o'clock
a. M. at Mt. Vernon chapel, Mrs. Albert
Bowkerin the Chair. Earnest addresses
were made by Mrs. Capron of India,
Mrs. Stanley of China and Miss W'est
of Turkey. An affecting tribute was
paid to tlie memory of tho Treasurer,
Mrs. Homer Bartlett, who died May 27.
These memorial services were conducted
in a most touching manner, and deeply
moved those present; Appropriate res
olutions regarding her death were pre
sented and unanimously adopted. .The
exercises closed by singing: "Thou art
gone to the grave, but we will not de
plore thee."
Allusions to Woman's work and pre
dictions of her future participation in
Church aud State were made in several
denominational meetings which have
uever done so before. The leaven is
working in many unaccustomed chan

Somehow, I was forcibly reminded of
a remark I once heard you make. It

virtuperative denunciation of Christian
women, you said, contrasting the teach
ings of Jesus of Nazareth with the prac
tices of the church, "If Christ himself
were to come back to earth aud preach
his own doctrines, his pretended follow
ers would crucify him." The remark
was just like you, but it was true; and
though It cost you a few scholars, which
your friends well knew you could poorly
afford to lose, it helped to stay the in
dignation of over-excited public opin
ion, and the Individual against whom
the tide had set so strongly is to-day one
of our most respectable and Exemplary
citizens.
Now, dear New Northwest, I do
not know that these reminiscences will
be at all acceptable to you or your
readers, neither do I care to have my
inlluence go forth in extenuation of the
crimes of any man, however exalted his
position, but this much I do say: We
as Christians, while resolutely opposing
vice and immorality, must extend all
possible encouragement to those who
have erred to repent and atone, or we
crucify tlie Son of Man afresh and put
him to open shame. While we de
nounce in every way the reprehensible
acts of Mitchell the man, It is Mitchell
the Senator with whom the people of
Oregon now have to deal, and I am glad
that you have brains enough to see the
fact aud courage enough to accept it.
As some of your opponents have a
naughty way of accusing you, or your
sisters, of writing everything in relation
to yourself or your work that appears in
the papers, please assure them that I

Dear Mrs. Duniway:! rejoice to see
"the bright, crisp pages of your Journal
for the People" after its siesta, but you
ought to see the elongated visages of a
few of the enemies of Woman's Enfran
chisement, whom yon score so merci
lessly sometimes, and. who had hoped
that your journal would never again
breathe its proud defiance of the public
opinion you believe to be wrong, or the
hearty denunciation of that which
breeds corruption among the sons aud
daughters of women.
But it seems that you arc determined
to be always in a broil. Hardly had the
smoke of your last battle In this vicinity
died away in the distance before you
startle us all by calling upon Senator
Mitchell, in tlie face of the most unan
imous public opinion to the contrary, to
repent of all the wrong he has done to
woman; or, if lie has repented, to make
his life one jxrand atonement for the
wrones of all women. The Woman
Sutrragists of this vicinity were ex
tremely anxious to see what you would
have to say about Mitchell, and I con
fess I was astonished to see that even
you would dare to so much as hint, in
this Immaculate world, tliat it was pos

CLAIMS IN DR. ROYCE'S AIR PATENTS.
IUVIMON A, NO. 501.
The object of my pneumatic apparatus is to
charge or till rest-n olrsor conduits withicom-
rpresed reriform bodies by means of some
known niec-hanlc-Hl power. The force-pumps
A A",refrifferatlnK-pipes f V t" f" rv.and

drawlnc.nnd the compressed gaseous mediums
are transferred from the force-pump or pumps
or main pipes, or from this flxed main Teser
volr, by means of pipes, tubes, stop-cockj. and
the proper valves and valve-searing and ap
pendages. By means of my invention the, com
pressed gaseous bodies can be used for the pur
poses of transmuting power, and to reproduce
some considerable' portion of the power re
quired for the compression, at the extremity oi
tlie conduit from the itmdenser or main reser
voir at any desired locality, within any reason
able distance, through any of the convenient
forms of steam engine or pumpsorothermech
anism suitable for the purpose, and with or
without the addition or beat, as may be re
quired; or by detaching the reservoir trom the
condenser the power contained In thq com
pressed air may be used for the iHirposes, 6f lo
comotion or navigation as well as for operating
machinery.
Tlie condenser may consist of one or'more
cynndersand pistons, of concentric cylinders,
worked by any power and discharging tlie con
densed fluid into a reservoir or through pipes
for use, as aforesaid.

secure by letters patent of the United States, is:
1. The method Of compressing or packing
gaseous mediums in a reservoir for tho purpose
ofbeingusedasameans of storing and trans

the means of absorbing the heat evolved In the
process of compression, and with a reservoir
and conduit suitable for holding and transmit

2. The employment ot a main reservoir filled
with gaseous mediums compressed by mean's
of pumps or othercomlensln!; apparatus; and
fitted with suitable pipes, tubes-, stop-cocks,
valves, valve-gearing, and appendages for the
purpose of storing, retaining, dtstrlbutlngand
transmitting. Tor Use outside of the condensing
apparatus or mechanism the power confined
In the compressed mediums or Imparted by
tho condensed apparatus, substantially as de

and other accompanying mechanism, coated
on the Inside with close-grained metals, vege
table gums, renins, oils or extracts, when filled
with compressed mediums, to prevent the es
