STATE WOMAN SUPPEAGE ASSO

vene In Salem on Tuesday, September
22, at 10 a. M. Members aro requested
to be promptly on band at the time
specified, ready and willing to work.
Tho Vice-Presidents of the Association
aro requested to be present if possible,
and if not, to forward written reports of
the progress of the work in their espec

at a time, for the life of him
grows disconsolate, and asks tragically,
"What is the consequence?" ve al
most held our breath at the impending
calamity, aud we know the girls will
hold theirs while our editor makes the
following ruthless declaration, iti auswer
to his "consequential" question :
" We have come to a point where young men
hesitate and grow old liefore they can decide
whether they can marry, and afterwards Veep
clear Mhankrupicy and crime.
"There are more persons living a single me
are there more leading a vlrtuou life? It Js
time for mothers to know that the extrava
ganeq they encourage is denlrucUve of the
virtue of their children ; thai an me iooihu
expenditures are, instead ol answering that
end, tending to destroy the Institution of mar
riage (altogether."
Now we fdiould like to ask the busy,
bonny girls of Oregon, who know how
to do more varieties of work, than this
long-visaged editor knows how to enum
erate:, If he and the "hesitating" young
men for whom he puts in so pathetic a
plea, are not objects of genuine pity?
Think of It sir's, yu w"ho help with the
family washing, ironing, mending and
baking; who assist in the preparation
of the family dinners, and the company
dinners as well. What a pitiable spec
tacle these prudent young men must
make, standing in melancholy attitude
"from youth to hoary age," unable to
"decide whether they can marry, and
afterwards keep ciearof bankruptcy and
crime." Are there any such hesitating
specimens of the genus masculine In
your neighborhood girls? Or do not
tho young gcntlemeu thereabouts have,
or seem to have, a good deal of confi
dence in their own ability to "marry
and keep clear of bankruptcy?" etc.
And then those unnatural mothers, who
encourage the dreadful extravagance of
clubs, wine, cigars, late suppers and
foolish foppery in dress! We should cer
tainly commiserate them if we could
tlnd them, but in all this broad land wc
HUMAN, NOT ANGEL,
It has long been the custom to declare
that women are "too pure to touch poli
tics," "too reflned and delicate to mingle
with tho rough crowds around the polls,"
and that even were it otherwise, there
were no need for woman to exercise the
right of suffrage, because, forsooth, "she
already rules the world."
This being the state of affairs, and
these samples of the declarations with
which opposers of the Woman Move
ment have sought to stop its progress,
It Is quite astonishing to see some of
them suddenly face about and make as
sertions, directly contrary to those,
which frequent repetition has rendered
so familiar to our cars.
Poets have exhausted the vocabulary
of soft nonsense, and transcended the
liounds of poetic license In coining new
words to describe the "angelic" crea
ture in fittiugrhyme, while prose writers
have been scarcely behind thorn in
olothing womankind in robes seraphic.
' Think, therefore, of the rude shock to
the "refined feeling-," of these ethereal
creatures, when certain great lights in
tho literary world drop their pretences,
and In round terms declare that these
erewhile "angels," if permitted to help
make the laws by which they are gov
erned, equally with men, will bring into
politics a power for evil, which the
strongest aud best men will be unable
success fully to combat; that corruption,
the like of which was never known,
even In the traditional "filthy pool"
will abound.
Now, truth is better limit falsehood,
and the candid expression of the opin
" Ions of the great Goldwin Smith, even
though they be incorrect, is Infinitely
better than the former shallow pre-
tenrex, so shallow that, while they
pleaded many, and tickled the vanity
of some, were yet too transparent to
deceive even the most vapid.
The real sentiments of our most log!
cal opposers are, in the heat of tho con
lllct, being stripped of nil false devices, '

Not long since, tho editor of this pa
per, becoming justly aroused at his con
tinued and wholly uncalled-for assaults
on her personally, cflervesced in an edi
torial addressed to him, admonishing
him to amend his ways, and alluding to
some very recent bad habits in the un
fortunate cgot's California careor. I pon
second thought,, and wishing to bo mer
ciful to him, as well as just to the pub
lic, we scut htm a copy of the editorial,
with an explanatory letterstatlng that
wo would withhold publication if he
would apologize appropriately lor his
editorial rudeness. In n few days, with
tho fear of that forthcoming editorial
before his eyes, McDonald said In the
Statesman:
Wo are extremely sorry to hear that a
thoughtless paragraph or ours, and which was
meant only lor a JoVe, has wounded the feel
ings of Sister Dunlway of thoNEWiN'onTHWKsr.
Nothing was further from our lutentlnns than
any expression of disrespect I on with this
declaration we hope thai friendly relations
will be rc-estubllshod.
We, glad to have opportunity to place
our friend upon a little longer proba
tion, gave the public no Information as
to how he had heard that "Sister Duni
way's feelings were wounded," .etc.,
etc., and merely quoted him and said:
All right, llrolher McDonald. A gentlemanly
aHilgy is sufficient atonement for a thought
less Injustice.
No sooner did McDonald see that he
had hope to presume upon our magna
nimity, than he camo hack at us with
the following piece of ribald Imperti
nence: All is now xerene Iwtween Sister Duulway
nnd ourself. Have made It nil up. Now then.
If Sinter Punlway comes Jewlarkln around here
any more, we nhall rlc and scream. We ain't
a man of that kind.
Now, having lost all expectation or
hone in reirard to the restoration of the
donot know of one. Thishabitof charg-Host gentlemanly intuitions of our
ing everything, from mlsslug buttons to brother, we appeal to the public: Say,
the infrequency of marriage, upon tho i friendly Salem readors, shall we publisl
mothers of the race, is as common as it the editorial which brought McDonald
"WOMEN'S WAR WITH WHISKY."
After havinz attentively. osamineJ i
Mrs. Victor's pamphlet, bearing tho
above title, we are euablcd to say that as
it souvenir of tho crusade it contains'a
convenient compilation of much matter
that those most particularly interested
will ho pleased to possess in sucli a
shape; but that, upon the whole, the
work is a romarkably one-sided affair;
and that it would live longer, sell better
and reflect far more cn dit upon its gifted
compiler, if some of tiie prescriptive aud
intolerant acts of a few of tho crusaders
and their self-righteous leaders against
the "Woman Movement, that aro well
known to the general public, had been
faithfully portrayed, as they ought to
have been.
While wo stand up for all that Is good
aud conscientious that tho crusaders
have doue and are doing, aud are just as
truly aud sluccrely a friend to them as
Mrs. Victor can be, wc know that some
of them have done much that merits the
condemnation of all sincere temperance
workers. And wo know also that the
faithful historian is expected to publish
both sides of a question in hand, and
this our friend lias signally failed to do
in the work before uh.
Sneaklne of the disastrous defeaf
which a certain "dodger" had brought
upon tho temperance council ticket,
Mrs. Victor says : " Rc A. It. Med
bury, who had from the first worked
zealously In the temperance cause, in
the first soreness of defeat said, ' I have
often doubted of tho wisdom of enfran
chising the negro beforo he was sufll
stupid and unjust. Where there is one
fashionable mother who encourages ex
travagance in her children, as charged
iulhcabovc indictment, there are scores
who both by precept aud example teach
' "BE YE THEEEFOEE PEEPEOT."
The great volubility which tho irov
erulnghalf or raanklud.h.ive long dis
playcddn exhorting women to prepare
themselves to properly discharge the
duties of wife and mother has been wit
nessed by nil who have mado them
selves acquainted with the literature of
the present and several past decades.
The sermons and their name is le
gion which have been preached to
mothers relative to the proper training
of their.daugblcrs, have, with perhaps
slight variations, been founded upon
tills text : Bring up your daughters to
be wives and mothers; all other train
ing, all other study is superfluous.
The fact that good wives nnd moth
ers necessitate good husbands and
fathers seems strangely enough to have
been forgotten, or :i3 strangely Ignored,
by these gratuitous and self-constituted
advisers.
bciuom lnuecu uo wo meet with a
chapter of advice of this description to
young men. Never a word is said to
them exhorting them to cultivate qual
ities that will render them lit compan
ions for these angelic creatures that
moralists try so hard to manufactureout
of feminine humanity, calico and gra
tuitous instruction. The plain truth of
the matter is, that patience, forbear
ance, unselfishness and general amia
bility, arc not more essential to a good
wife than ton good husband. That it
is much easier to exercise these and
kindred graces toward a person who Is
governed by like scntlmeuts, than
towanls a petty tyrant, who lays great
ciently educated to understand the value, stress upon these as womanly virtues,
and resnonsibllitv of the ballot,' etc., ! but considers them not at all essential

LETTEE PE0M8ANS. S0U0I."
To ins Kditok or run New Xostuwekt:
I noticed in the Orcgonian of the 20th
Inst., a letter under date ut tho 22d,
which, aa a specimen of originality, L
think can hardly be surpassed. It would
be hard to make me believe that "Ar
cadia" is a writer of the feminine gen
der. If that letter was not written by
some homeless, friendless, forlorn old
bachelor, who novcr had or never will
have the chanco to '.'boss" any woman,
then I am mistaken. He seems so well
calculated to ralso and govern "a largo'
family, that I am convinced he never
had the care of a child in his life. He
has fouud a corset somewhere in the
street, and has. been dissecting it, and
has arrived at the conclusion that some
fair, frail creature has been wrecked
there, who, If she had but "dispensed
with the corset and buttoned her skirts
on to a loose tinder-waist," would now
be threshing around the world able " to
build our houses, cultivate our fields,
grade our streets, man our ships," etc.
How I should like to see that model
dress "Arcadia" speaks of, more especial
ly to see him with It on. Ho seems to
think that in our endeavors to obtain
the right of suftrajre for women, that
our principal object Is, not to elevate the
women, but to subjugate the men
When you enfranchised the negro, did
it lower you to their stnndard or exalt
them to your position ?
I. should like to inquire of "Arcadia" or
nuy one else who may feel disposed to
answer, when the men obtained posses
sion of the women's rights, that we
should be obliged to ask the lords of
creation for them ? And Is " Arcadia,"
old bachelor though he may be, sostupid
