Many noble workers fell by the way
side ere yet the notes of victory made
the faintest murmur on the air, and
many toil on and on, wearied by their
htbors, cast down by discouragement
assailed by calumny, hampered by
financial stress, who see not yet the be
ginning of the end; others, more hope
ful, because, perhaps, possessed of more
physical vigor, have noted the faint
glimmer of the "Star in the East," and
taking courage from its soft, shimmer
ing light, that reaches even to the fur
thest verge of the nation's Occident,
have heralded the on-coming victory
for the hosts of freedom. Whether the
workers of to-day live to hear the grand
peau of woman's triumph over oppres
sion voice the pulsing air, as the sweet
refrain is wafted from the forests of
Maine to the snow-clad mountains of
Oregon, and from the lakes that form
the nation's northern boundary to the
gulf that laves her southern limit, the
grand triumph of might over right will
surely come. And be sure that when
the now busy workers in this greatest
of reforms shall rest from their labors,
the heritage they will leave to those
who follow them will cause generations
yet unborn to stand in reverence before
their life's record.
Sisters, the little victories that we

The band of noble women who have
been laboring in this city for the past
fifteen months under the name of the
"Woman's Band of Helpers" have con
eluded, after careful deliberation, to
change their form of work. They now
intend to change the "Home," as here
tofore conducted, into a home for girls
and women out of employment, and a
woman's "Intelligence Office" where
girls and women who seek employment
can be aided in securing it, and in the
meantime be furnished with a tempo
rary shelter at a nominal figure.

he could recoguize the inalienable right
of self-government.
"Don't worry, darling," he replied,
coaxingly. "You will always be pro
vided for while I live."
'But suppose you shouldn't live,
what then?"
He hadn't thought of that, either.

"Then wiiy, if he is the natural head,

Jim reflected a moment and then pro
posed that we go to Portland and equit
ably adjust our real estate relations by
deeding the undivided half of a quarter

Truly.
Suiting the action to the word, or de'
siring so to do, we made the journey
and attempted to make the transfer, but

So far as to men losing respect for women who
believe In woman's rights, I have never found
it so. I have been in crowded assemblies
where every man knew my sentiments on the
woman question, and I have always had seats
offered, and I always remembered the teach
ings of my mother and thanked the donor, too.
And now comes "Jenny Squash," of
McMinnvilie. and deals out sarcasm iu
this wise:
Sisters, It you wish men to be kind and polite
to you, you must act, and talk, and think as
they desire yon to. When women so far lay aside
their modesty as to allow thelrfeet.or even their
minds, to wander from the beaten path that
men as their natural guardians, protectors and
rulers bare marked out for them, let tliem not
be surprised to find that ther have aroued the
sleeping lion who will pounce upon and de
stroy them.
Go on, sisters. Help us to agitate the
question. It makes little difference in
the result whether you are for or against
equal rights, individually, only so that
you aid the cause by agitating the ques
lion. These things set people to think
ing, and thought will iu due time crown
woman with equal rights social, politi
cal, and financial.

We publish elsewhere in this journal
the comments of Harper's Weekly upon
the bill urged upon the New York As
sembly with every indication of success,
rendering women in that State eligible
to serve upon its school boards. Hon
Wm. N. Emerson was author and chief
champion of the measure, and the ac
tivity and courage with which the
women of the State, as well as many of
the most prominent and scholarly men,
seconded his efforts for its enactment is
certainly sufficient to show that justice
to women is exciting no little thought
and endeavor. Memorials from many
counties, praying for the passage of the
measure, were sent up, while from New
York City five petitions numerously
signed were forwarded. One of these
came from the City Woman Suffrage
Society, one from Sorosis, one from the
German Suffragists, one from business
men, and one, which perhaps may have
formed us that a man could not transfer
land to his wife for value received, for
her services and earnings alike belonged
to him, as a vested right, for which she
could render no equivalent other than
that which was his already.
Yours Truly was mad! Not particu
larly at Jim the Doxey but mad on
general principles.
"What is unpaid servitude but
slavery? and what is slavery but un
paid servitude?" she asked, 'bursting
into tears; and then the lawyers looked
pityingly upon Jim and indignantly
upon Yours Truly, and we went back to
the hotel under a cloud of trouble.

topic the lecturer was trying to explain
in a half a minute than he did iu the
two hours.
Yours Truly advises the doctor to at
tend a common school for six months,
at least, and take lessons all the while
of some capable woman who under
stands the meaning of the people'sEng-
lisb. He needs to be taught the mean
ing of "mensuration"' before he repeats
the mistake of attempting to teach it as
a part or "sexual science." He needs
lessons badly upon the agreement of
the verb with the number aud person,
and should be informed that the "silly-
brated" lectures of which he speaks so
repeatedly in such extravagantly lauda
ble terms are not misnamed by his pro
nunciation. In a word, if the doctor
will cultivate the cerebrum a great deal
more aud the cerebellum a great deal
less; if he will get that whisky out of
his stomach and blood, and that tobacco
out of his throat and lungs; if he will
become as clean inside as he appears at
tractive outside, and will stay away
from saloons and abjure all bad associa
tions, Yours Truly will begin, after a
while, to imagine that, having healed
himself of his impurities, he may be
ready to take lessons of Dr. Thompson,
or some other sensible woman, upon the
'Science of Iiife." As it is a subject
very dear to the doctor's imagination,
it would be well worth his while to pre-
pare himself to teach in reality, as he
advertises that he now does, though he
fails constantly. Anybody, to read the
Oregonian, Standard, Bee, and Tele
gram, after having attended one of his
discourses, can see that the man who
gives the lectures writes the puffs, and
doubtless pays ior tuem at so much a
line, else so many papers would not
miss so good a chance to warn the peo
pie and teach them better morals.
But here comes Jim with that deed.

as she folds the deed and lays it away
till morning, when the final transfer is
to be made aud the fiction of the law
gratified, you need not wonder that
his opinion of himself is heartily en
dorsed by Yours Truly,
payers of the county, women as well as
men, and kept in place and power which
should be filled by and delegated only to
the most moral and humane by the ac-
quieucence of the highest officer in the
county. Can we expect prisons to be
reformatory when so managed? And is
it any wonder that women, in the name
of morality and for decency's sake, pro
test against such outrages as are prac
ticed within a stone's throw of their
dwellings by men in high places ? I
would like to ask the tax-payers of the
couuty whether humane and Christian
women are to be allowed to visit the
county jail, or are they to be insulted
and kept away by the jailor?

A SAD AO0IDENT.
To the Editor of tue .New Northwest:
A sad accident occurred here last
Wednesday. One of our teams ran
away and Frank McGibeuy was badly
hurt. His leg was terribly mangled,
his right arm twice broken. Gangrene
setting in, it became necessary to am
putate the arm above the elbow nearly
at the shoulder. It was taken off last
night and he Is doing well. We trust
his life is saved by this sad alternative.
Frank was injured in his brave efforts
to rescue his little brothers. He is the
noblest of boys, and bears most intense
pain with heroic fortitude. "We had
just entered upon what would undoubt
edly have been a most auspicious and
prosperous season. Frank was indulg
ing in the brightest anticipations. God
grant the dear boy comfort for his dis
appointed ambition, and I trust the way
may be very plain for him to shine
more brilliantly in some higher and no
bler field of usefulness. Through your
journal many of his friend, may learn
of and sympathize with him in his
misfortune. M. H. Savage,
General Agent.

Mrs. Daniway left this city for Salem
on Monday evening. She will spend
the greater part of the week in the
capital city, canvassing for "David

soliciting subscriptions for the New
Northwest. She is advertised to speak
at the Court-house in Dallas on Monday
evening, May lllh. She will also can
vass that hospitable and enterprising
little city for her book and paper, and
will visit Amity on the 16th to give "aid

their quarterly meeting. Returning,

Yours Truly was lonely and sad and
mad. It was not that she cared for
beaver-dams or onion patches. Jim
wouldn't use the land for a dozen years,

church-yard. But it was the principle
involved. It became plainer to her
