tbe most flagrant outrage on record has
robbed a faithful daughter of what her
deceased mother knew was but the hon

tions of tbe mother to avoid it, has
placed tbe proceeds of her motherly
wisdom, thus wrested from the faithful
daughter, into tbe hands of a miserly,
rich and licentious son, thereby adding
the mother's valuable homestead (whloh
bhe willed to the indigent daughter) to
the son's previously large inheritance
from his father's estate, and turning the
daughter Into tbe street penniless; this
case, which If allowed to stand will
form a precedent for other biased Judges

We hope every woman wbo read this
will remember that, if she cannot vote
herself at tbe forthcoming election, she
can influence at least one voter to east
his ballot in opposition to the re-eleelio
of a Supreme Court, which, Itself
unconstitutional excrescence upon the
great escutcheon of Justice, has marked
i'3 unlawful oourse by a vandalism urv
precedented in tbe annals of all modern
.'i.Jieiary a vandalism which it is
travesty upou designations to class with
' 'iway robbery midnight grand lar
. or professional safe-cracking. Let
.t -e unjust judges be defeated at tbe
r. Us, as tbey surely will be if the friends
uf justice do tbelr duty, and honest
u.'Hhera can again indulge tbe hope that
tbe property for whloh they are tolling
si lu'.tblully may be givou by their last
will and testament to their kiud and
luitfal children, rather than tbelr tin
grateful and insubordluate ones. Let
every woman read tbe "Greenwood
Will Case" and see for herself by what
uuvnunn icnuic uer mfwny ngms are
held while Radges Kelly and Prim are
in power.
OUB HOPE THE SCHOOLS.
Any one who Is desirous of forecasting
loe future, or who entertains any doubt
m to the ultimate suocets of the Woman
buflrage movement, need only to vteu
wr high schools to find assurance that
the Innovation Is coming, and quickly.
The principles of equality are incul
cated in all the department
girls enjoy the same rights aud privi
leges. There Is no intimation or hint
ever Mven of tbe idea of the superiority
"ex, which view obtained
so largely in years past. Uiris study
poHtieal economy in the same room
twite siue toy side with boys. The
teaeiier is frequently a woman, who Is
presumed to know nothing of political
economy or anything else unless she
has a husband at heme to ask. "Their
very equality in the school-room, and
tbe fact that they are poring over stud
ies calculated to teach them the duties,
privileges ami responsibilities of cltl-
zenship, eels the students to peeking
for the reason of the difference In their
conditions in the busy world. Many a
fair and analytic mind will search in
vain for a Justification of tbe denial of
the ballot to woman while she is re
quired to be able to direct tbe ideas of
tbe pupils under her chance in a course
that will lead them to become useful
t a . .
ana uonoretl Citizens. Thn fnt.il,
method, even, is called into exercise in
an endeavor to account for the situation,
out. wunout avail, and tbe pupil can
only become thoroughly convinced that
tbe freedom and equality of the school
boose should extend into active life.
It is through the schools that the
hope of a freeand impartial government
is to be realized. The principles which
are every day imprinted on the minds
and planted In tbe hearts of tbe school
children will expand and extend till
the world will marvel that individual.
sovereign beings were ever denied tbe
right of personal freedom, which is
the right to do right." The boys and
girls who are to-day studying political
economy will in a few brief years be
affirmants of universal human liberty.

COUNTY NOMINATIONS.
The Republican County Convention
wLich met In this city on Tuesday
placed in nomination for tbe various
offices men who, almost without ox
ception, command the respect and con
nlenee of theoemmunity. Multnomah
being Republieau, it Is probable that
most, if not all of them, will be elected
unlets the Democrats bring forward an
exceedingly popular ticket.
Mr. A- W. Waters and Mr. Joseph
himoo, both able and progressive men,
are me nominees for State Senators.
Dr. J. A. Chapman, Dr. O. P. S. Plum
mer, Dr. MeyerC. P. Yatet, W. S.
I'.e-i e, Frank Payne aud IIou. J. D,
.'.'es are tbe candidates for the lower
items. Messrs. Geo. Long and J. A,
-laviu arc nominated for County Com-
iU.oners. Mr. Joseph Buobtel, one of
' e most popular men in the county, Is
l r. up for Sheriff, in the hope that he
ti defeat Ben Nortlen. The nomina-
-ion of Mr. A. E. Bortbwiek for clerk
mens with almost universal favor
Geo. C. Bears was re-nominated for As
sessor by acclamation. Mr. Showers,
a 1 assurer, has beeu a oourteous and
cipaliie officer, and well deserves an
-Jcr term. Mr. Macrum for School
-p rintendeot, and Mr. Burrage for
jrveyor were re-nominated by accla

It Is surprising that Hon. D. P.

on tbe ticket. He should have been re

INTOLERANCE BTILL RAMPANT.
Religious intolerance iu England is
not dead. The same spirit which led
to tbe sailing of the Mayflower with the
Pilgrim fathers for a new country in
1620 is at work to-day, though differ
ently manifested. Freedom of opinion
is openly opposed, and the right of be
lief or conviction denied, on tbe floor or
Parliament.
Tne cause of the recent outbreak of
bigotry Is this: Charles Bradlaugb,
author of tbe "Impeachment of tbe
House of Brunswick," has sought to
become a eltisen of Great Brillan. As
citizenship is conferred on foreigners by
Parliament, It gave an opportunity for
tbe exhibition of the spirit of 1620, and
Sir H. D. Wolf, amid great uproar, ob
jected to Bradlaugb's admission because
be Is an atheist Tbe friends of Brad
laugh desire to allow him to affirru in
stead of taking the oath. The entire
matter lias been referred to a special
committee.
Tbe aetion of certain members of the
British Parliament causes astonishment
among the American people, whose
forefathers fought against rclieious
domineering aud earneJ the right for
every man on our soil to worsbln God
according to tbe dictates of his own
conscience, and therefore to worship a
negative being ir be so desires. Expe
rience was a dear teacher to England,
yet it seems the lesson was not thor
oughly learned. There is as determined
opposition as ever to tbe right of a hu
man being to adopt any uncommon
form of worship; but its exponents lack
strength to carry their measures by per-
secutton. Though they may create i
sensation by their display of Illiberal
ity, yet tbe right of freedom of thought.
even if a person refuses to acknowledge
the existence of an All-wise and Infi
nite God, will be sustained.
Attention is called to a com m tin lea
tion (to be found elsewhere) from a lady,
regular attendant at tbe Congrega
tional Church, who, with hundreds of
others, out ef respect for tbe pastor,
remained in the church on 8onday
evening as long as tbey could endure it,
and listened to a scandalous, falle and
Indecent attack upon the lives and
characters of prominent men and gifted
women, fully equal in its disgusting de
tails to anything Wood hull ever said
from the platform in reference to the
Beeeher-Tilton abomination. Tbe au
dience was much diminished when the
professor" fiulsbed. Tbe people will
yet teach pastors and deacons all over
tbe land, that it is no more possible for
irresponsible tricksters to overthrow tbe
science or philosophy of spirit commu
nication by throwing mud at Investi
gators of Spiritualism from tbe pulpit
than It Is possible for the same persons
to overthrow the philosophy of Chris
tianity by throwing mud at tbe advo
cates of Christianity from the lecture
platform.
Mrs. M. C. Cline has mailed copies of

of tbe State. Where no lists of names
could be bad, It was Impossible to send

fact, we see no good reason why the
very worst bit of road existing between
Portland and tbe rest of the world may
not be redeemed from primordial chaos
without much further delay
Tbe roads were so bad that rapid driv
log was Impossible, and it was utmost
dark when, chilly and weary, we
idighted with our liege at the pleasant
Daniels liorae, where, after supper, we
enjoyed a few minutes' rest, and then
repaired to the ball, where at, audience
composed of tbe best elements of the
town had alresdy assemble.!. The long

iaea or neuralgia in the eye-balls,

On Thursday evening we again met
an appreciative audience, ami ti..
theme, "Property Bights of Married
women," considered from a legal stand
point, with the statutes before us, evi-
dentty convinced the audience that the
wise proverb, "Eternal vigilance is the
price of liberty," is equally as applicable
to women as to men.
ine long list of subscribers to the
New Xorthwest In Vancouver, both
old and new ones, are Its very first neo-
pie, and the kindly interest they evince
in our work is exceedingly gratifying to
us. Tlie young men and maidens are
standi allies of tbe woman movement,
and tbe older people, with the exception
of a few purblind religious fanatics and
an occasional saloon-keeper or ben tied
drunkard strange how extremes do
meet are with them in sentiment and

Vancouver boasts its grocery stores,
meal markets, bakeries, confectionery
shops, mercbaut tailors, shoe stores, dry
goods bouses, schools, hotels, etc., etc,
and the usual quota of self-supported
women wbo keep boarders or manage
some sort of a mercantile business for a
livelihood. On Friday morulng, after

of these women workers, when to our

The true investigator inquires into
principles, gathers facts aa they develop,
and thus arrives at tbe truth of a mat
ter. He keep his ship of discovery out
at sea, clear of tbe ree fa, rocks and sand
banks ofrldicnte, prejudice and bigotry,
nd then sails into port when these have
been cleared.
Iu my jouruey of life u.ua far I have
observed that a strict adherence to prin
ciples is the surest means of ultimate
success. No temporizing, tirne-serving
policy, where great principle! are In
volved, will advance any reform, hut
rather retards It. Investigation is the
Archimedean lever that is destined to
elevate tlie world mentally and morally.
Ignorance and Its concomitants, super
stition, prejudice and stolid conserva
tism, are tbe greatest impediments to
progress. Break down these barriers.
and let in tbe snnsbine of earnest, ener
getic thought ; teach the mi ml to plume
its own wing for flight; let It take
dally exercise with its teacher, begin
ning with abort, feeble rounds, each
succeeding day mounting higher and
higher, and It will be able eventually to
spread its strong pinions for a mora
lofty and continued flight.
It is tbe few that perceive the truth
at first sight It requires persistence ou
the part of thinkers ami reformers to
ever e fleet a reform. Tbey must batter
away at the strong wallsof conservatism
with unwavering pertdateoce to effect a
breach. It took half a century for the
teachings of Wilberforce to find a place
in the minds and eventually change tbe
popular will of tbe people of tbe United
States to a realizing sense of tbe
human slavery. Tbe few perceived the
truths tbat noble philanthropist enun
ciated ; tbe few persisted in holding up
muse iruiug continuously to the people,
resulting ultimately in a glorious tri
umph iu tbe eauseof human rights. So
it ever is. The few-thlnk, perceive, de-
vis, plan and organize ; tbe few labor
with mlud aud voice and pen for human
advancement; tbe many, long accus
tomed to think as their fathers thouiht
and teach as their fathers tacght, ridi
cule, revile and contemn.
The great naturalist, Agassis, said :
"Science is one. Whether we Investi
gate language, history, philosophy, the
ology or physics, we are dealing with
the same problem, culminating in tbe
knowledge of ourselves." This beauti
ful concatenation of ideas, linked to
gether by tbat true scientist, presents to
our mintij the most brilliant gems from
nis laboratory of thought. It is replete
with humane beneficence. In three
little simple words is written the
gamnt of human redemption from tbe
maniroid ills of life. "Science is one,"
is tbe text from which must be preached
tbe gospel of reform.
"Theology and philosophy have yet
to lesrn," says Agasslz, "that a physical
laci is as sacred aa a moral principle"
It bas ever been the fate of all true re-
forui to lie opposed by theology, under
tlie mistaken notion tbat no good can
come out or Nazareth, and, without
coming to see, It has denounced science
as ungodly; hence, science aud theolojrv
have remained alienated for ages, though
science, like a beautiful maiden, bas
sought to woo theology by her modest
ami innate virtuous attractions.
Theology lifted up its stentorian voice
in the cause of kingcraft In the wars of
the "times that tried men's souls." and
with sepulchral tooe condemned those
that dared to strike for liberty; theology
found a ready apology, a divine. ap
provalnay, more; theology found i
positive command of God for tlie perne
t ration of the most hellish practices In
morals taught men to ignore tlie rights
or others, to bargain and sell their own
Mesa and blood for accursed gold. Re
ligion taught them belter. Theology
teaches us that woman must be obedi
ent to man should be subservient to
man; if she would learn anything, she
must inquire of her sovereign lord and
master, man. Science and true religion
teach us bettor.
Science is one ; truth is one : human
t I . i ... m. .
nSin is oiie. mese mree are one,
forming a holy trinity, n perfect unity.
Philanthropy is good. The Good is love.
The solution of any scientific problem
culminates in a knowledge of ourselves,
and that knowledge develops human
rights. Speech is tbe vehicle of thought,
"known only In counecUon with the
organs of man." History is a record of
his thoughts ami actions, leaving, as- it
were, mile "post that mark the road be
bas traveled. Though history repeats
itself, it uever turns a page backward.
History shows us the grand march of
intellect. Science teaches that thoueht
is not sexual. The mind that can com
prehend the great truths in science,
whether or philosophy, language, his
tory, theology or physics, can also com
prehend the science of government ; for
science la one. Tbe fsminiue mind bas

this great truth are multiplying wher
ever tbe seeds of thought ate sown.
Intelligence is tbe true measure of
one's (1lue8 to exercise the right of citl-
zeuship. Upou the intelligence of tbe
citlzeu depends the perpetuity of our re
publican form nf government. Tbe
question then arises, Is womau Intelli
gent enough to justly appreciate tbedu
tiea'of a troecitizen? Let us see. "Sci
ence is one," ssys Agasslz ; "the inves
tigation of the truths in any department
culminates in a knowledge of oursetvea."
Has womau shown her ability to com
prehend the truths of science ? Let his
tory answer. In philosophy, she ban
shown ber adaptability ; in astronomy,
she lias achieved renown and written
her name among tbe stars ; in mathe
matics, she bas demonstrated her power
to comprehend the calculus ; Iu botany,
she Is an adepjt iu romance, she bas not
been excelled ; in music and poetry, sbe
is perfection personified ; in painting
and sculpture, sbe has equaled thegreal
masters ; and in oratory, sbe is pure,
logical, fascinating and refined. In
medieiue and law, she is fast demon
strating her fitness therefor, making
progress in those professions, tboogh
sbe baa had to fight her way against tbe
lords of creation. Sbe bas bat recently
entered tbe areua of politics, and is fast
developing ber fitoess to exercise the
rights of citizenship. This she has done
fought her way against prejudice and
imperious custom, compelling the
sterner sex, by the force of her intel
lectuality and womanly persistence, in
what sbe conceives to be her heaven
born rights, to give way to ber demands
to be recognized as his equal, until be
has, though reluctantly and hy piece
meal, granted her many rights formerly
denied her.
Go on, then, bold New Xokthwest.
Plant thy batteries upon the hills of
science ami fire tbe bomb-shells of
truth irKihe strongholds of the ene
mies of human righto. Through the
persistent advocacy of Woman Suffrage
by tbe brave, good women of America,
tbe strong walls of prejudice are giving
way. The powerful columbiads man
aged by tbe Molts, the Stones, tbe Stan
tons, tbe Anthonys, tbe Livermores,
the Doniways, and a boat of other noble
women, have effected a breach in tbe
walls of tbe enemy of woman's rights.
Some, unable longer to maintain their
position, have capitulated, while others
have spiked their guns and fled.

To Tits Editor or the Xtw Xortowkst
Will you kindly permit a stranger to
you, and one who has been but for a
short time a resident of your city, to
present your readers with a word iu ref
erence to one "Professor" Snook
Phoebus, what a name! to whom I
had the doubtful honor of listening on
last Sabbath evening from tbe popular
pulpit or Rsv. J. A. Cruzan ?
Passing over tbe insult to the iutelii
gence of tbe audience, which has hith
erto been accustomed to being treated
with both courtesy and decency in the
Congregational church, I will confine
myself to tbe consideration of tbat only
wbicb I personally know to be false,
slanderous and malignant in reference
to tbe character and standing of Maud
Lord, whom the pious (T) im poser upon
Portland's imaginary credulity attacked
In a manner both libelous and ininn
. I . T" 1 . . .
ucut. i nereoy uepose tnat 1 am per
sonally acquainted wiUi Maud Lord, a
professional spirit medium, and I know
ber public and private character to be
above reproach. I had the honor of be
ing ker bridesmaid ou the occasion of
her marriage with Bert Lord, whoee
estimable mother liaa been Maud's
friend through all the great trials of ber
married life trials caused by tbe tpiril
or alcohol, a demon which compelled
poor Maud to flee to ber friend for pro
tection. I do not claim to be a Spirit
ualist, but I do claim to be a friend to a
pure anil persecuted woman, and I am
luauniu! uu we nave in 1'ortiaud a
woman's paper wherein tbe private
cbaracter of even a spirit medium can
be defended against the vile slanders of
a professional mountebank.
Tills man Snook, having openly,
wantonly and maliciously lied, to my
certain knowledge, about one medium,
to my mind invalidates his entire evi
tie nee upon all other points of character
raised by himself. I am now, and for
tbe past ten years have been, in regular
correspondence with Maud Lord's
mother-in-law, and any one doubting
the above statements and wishing proof
of them Is Invited to call at the New
Northwest office for further informa-
ion. Mrs. N. C. Mkrces.
