THE WOMAN'S BIBLK.
If anything had been needed to con
vii.ee Incredulous man of woman's Ineffa
ble superiority, the Woman'H Bible Is cal
culated to do so. If the forthcoming
sections are equul to the present lesue of
the Pentateuch, which Is now before us
in all the richness of Its erudition and
did ion and the calmness of Its logic,
the complete work will be a wonder and a
Joy. As an expression of naive femi
ninity alone, It Is 'calculated to figure as
a unique addition to literature. But as
an argument It is a colossal vindication.
The alleged tyrant has long ago given
up protesting In a voice weakened by
Iteration and drowned by the strident
shrieks of the oppressed, that he ac
knowledged her superiority. He has
grown used to being branded as a tearer
down of female rights and has learned
to balance himself with uneasy compla
cence upon the tottering throne to
which his victims have raised him, while
they reveled in their wrongs. But the
time has come for him to make a su
preme effort to be heard and to Insist on
granting to- woman the last stronghold
of his prerogative the right to be su
premely, surpassingly funny.
The Woman's Bible is compiled of all
passages of Scripture which contain any
reference whatever to the fomale, gen
eral or Individual, and Includes, as In
vidious distinctions, most references to
men, followed by the natural and logical
query, "why not women?" To each of
these plumages Is appended learned com
ment from the pens of the "distinguished
women" who have been appointed to the
holy task. Among the members of the
committee are a few Hebrew and Greek
scholars whose services have doubtless
been Invaluable, but for the most part
the commentaries seem to be based main
ly on the personal views of the wflter,
which of course furnish a more unassail
able foundation than any other conceiva
ble one. They begin their "higher criti
cism" with a bold demand for recognition
In the Trinity. It Is a doctrine which
has been so variously "explained" that
the feminine version of Us significance Is
at least entitled to a hearing. ' They also
announce at the start that their reason
lias repudiated the divine authority of
the Bible; yet, as moHt men and women
are too unintelligent to have arrived at
this stage, they consider It worth while
to show the falsity and Injustice of Its
attitude to women. The first of the two
writers In Genesis seems to bo tho only
Biblical author who deserves commenda
tlon at their hands lie represents man
and woman as a simultaneous creation
and says nothing about the "dominion
of man. Any later concessions to the
woman, as In the fourth commandment,
for example, are hailed with sarcastic
surprise, deadly and crushing In the ex
treme. - As for the rib story, It Is scorn
fully yet gravely dismissed as a "petty
surgical operation."
To give anything llko an exhaustive re
view of this Important, not to say mo
mentous, work, would require time and
space beyond the limits of any mere
newspaper. Yet there are passages In it
which cry out for quotations, as, for ex
ample, the following, apropos of the Im
mediate descendants of Adam: "Inter
marriage with the descendants of Cnln
have corrupted the progeny, perplexed
the Creator and precipitated the flood.
AVc are told that, in the matter of the
temptation, the "conduct of Eve was,
from the beginning to the end, so superior
to that of Adam." And again: "It
takes six verses to describe tho 'fall' of
woman; the fall of man is contemptu
ously dismissed In a line and a half,"
Could anything be more conclusive of tho
pre-eminence given to woman In the
Wide, even were It not Just the contrary
that the dear ladles are endeavoring to
prove? Again, apropos of the taking of
the women's Jewels for the making of the
gulden calf, we are reminded that "It was
Just so In the American Devolution in
1TT, the first delicacy the men threw
overboard in Boston harbor wns the tea
woman's favorite beverage. The tobacco
and whKky, though heavily tax.'d, they
clung to with the tenacity of the dovll

oniy an untruth, but a deliberate insult
to tho common sense and independence
of one of the most enlightened and honor
able sections of the community.
THE TRUE SITUATION.
It has been said that liars need short
memories. The men who Insist that It
would be a crime to disturb business now
by any tariff agitation who are they?
Precisely the same men who persisted In
disturbing business, even In .the utmost
prostration after the panic of Di93, with
a tariff revision which lasted a whole
year. The same men, aiso, who furious
ly denounced the senate bill as a surren
der of their principles and hopes, a be
trayal of public Interests, a sale to mo
nopolies, the product of corrupt bargains,
a measure of "perfidy and dishonor," and
then passed it. But now they declare
(hat it must stand untouched, with all
Its special favors, the, fruit of criminal
bargains, becu-je any agitation for a
change would disturb business. These
men started with a glaring untruth when
they asserted In 1893 that the prostration
was caused by the silver act, and not by
the threat of free trade. It has led them
Into the amazing absurdity of claiming
that the country has been rendered more
yjrosperous that ever by an Infamous bar
gain with monopolies and betrayal of
the form which they called necessary to
public prosperity.
This notion that any and every change
of duties must -cause depression is not
merely disproved by experience, but is on
Its face a glaring absurdity. When ad
vance of duties is proposed, It Is for the
purpose of(curIng existing evils, checking
excessive foreign competition, adding new
encouragement to domestic production
Every buyer reasons that the Immediate
effect of higher duties will be to advance
prices to some extent, until the establish
ment of new works has Increased the
home supply of the product. In conse
quence every buyer is tempted to pur-.
chase promptly and to the full extent of
his wants, for the change, If effected, can
do him no harm, and he is anxious to
have as large a stock of cheap goods on
hand as he can In case of any rise,
Manufacturers also take time by the foie
lock and lay In stocks of material, and
push their works even In advance of or
ders because the better prices, if secured,
will give some profit on an output which
might at existing conditions yield none,
Thus there Is always a more business
and a hopeful condition of industry when
the object of pending legislation Is to af
ford greater defense and encouragement
to home production. The necessity of a
larger revenue will 'compel Republicans
to consider In what direction duties may
be advanced. They will not be deterred
In the least by the Democratic untruth
that any change In that direction must
check business.
Many people think that we spend
enoueh money or its equivalent on our
roads to make them as good as those of
any other country. That Is correct, but
the trouble Is we don't spend it In the
right way. Our labor la misdirected. At
some season of the year, when farm
work Is less pressing than usual, the
farmer "works out" his road tax. Gen
erally it Is 'about the worst time of the
year for the roads; but that doesn't mat
ter. He takes his horses and plow and
scraper, plows up some furrows in the
gutter between the wagon track .and the
sidewalk, and scrapes the earth up Into
the middle of the road. That makes the
road rough and lumpy. You must drive
over It at a walk, as over a newly
plowed field.' If the weather remalnB dry
It gets dusty; If rain comes on it is
mass of mud. In course of time It gets
worn down fairly smooth and hard; and
then It Is time to "work out" some more
taxes, and scrape up some more sods
and loose dirt again.
That Is what road-making has meant
In most country places In this state, and
what it still means on thousands of miles
of highway In the moBt highly improved
states of this Union. If, instead of that,
the same amount of work had been given
for the last twenty-five years to laying
drains and making macadam, or even
good gravel roadways, we should have
today a network of roads all over the
Union on which any kind of vehicle could
run with ease at any time of the year,
We need no carriage tax, nor window
pane tax, nor gold watch and silver
spoon tax, but only an intelligent and
systematic application of our ordinary
revenue to the making of roads on a
scientific plan.
The "friends" of Mr. C. J. Curtis have
been Industriously circulating the state
mont that Mr. George Johnson, candidate
for the ofllc of city attorney on the In
dependent ticket, "has not the ability to
fill the position." It may not be out ot
place to say that Mr. Johnson passed his
Oregon law examination, after years ot
conscientious study, at tho head of the
list of applicants before the supreme
court, and that he was complimented
from the bench by Judge Murphy on his
excellent showing,
We append the following letter, dated
the "University of Washington and Lee,
Lexington, W. Va., July 11, ISM." This
letter Is signed by C. A. Clraves,' prof ossor
of common and statute laws, and John
Randolph Tucker, dean of the university
and professor of equity and commercial
law, and of constitutional and interna
tlonul law. Mr. Tucker is known to
every attorney in tho United States as
one of tho most brilliant lawyers now
living:
Mr. Gcoi'Ke Johnson, of Astiria, Ore.

ot KH-X of nine months. Ills diligence
and studious heblts wert exemplary, and
Ins acquirements In the law were ample
to quality him for successful work In his
profession. lie exhibited unquestionable
native ability as a thinker and .leaker,
and his IiIkIi und honorable character
and stiullous methods give promise. In our
opinion, of a high position In the profes
sion ho has ch.ix.-n. We do not hesitate
to say this of him, for ho has .lot only
merited our commendations as a student,
but our friendship and esteem as a

of this mutual admiration society needs
only Mr. Osburn's defense of his friend

In response to Mr. Curtis' appeal, Mr.

MUTUAL CONFIDENCE.
Extraordinary Scene on a Railway
(The Jybaert de Kater.)
An amusing anecdote of a lady ana
gentleman who were traveling together
runs as follows: They were strangers
together. All at once the gentleman
said :
"Madam, may I ask you to ,ook out
of the window? I should like to make
some change In my toilet."
"Certainly, sir," she replied, at the
same time getting upand turning her
back upon him. '
A few moments afterwards he said:
"Now, madam, I have finished and you
can sit down again."
When the lady looked round rhe saw
her wale companion transformed lntd an
elegant lady, wearing a thick veil.
"And now, sir or madam, whatever you
are," -said the lady. "I would also request
you to put your face out of the window
as I, too, wish to make some alterations
In my attire."
"Certainly, madam," said the man In
woman's clothes, and turned at once the
other way.
"Now you may resume your seat."
To his great astonishment the man m
woman's garb, on sitting down again, saw
his traveling companion transformed Into
a man. He burst out laughing and said:
"It appears that we are both trying to
run away. What have you done? 1
have been robbing a bank."
''And I," said the quondam lady, as he
fitted the "darbies" around his fellow
passenger's wrists, "am Detective J ,
from Amsterdam, and have been on your
track for the last couple of days and now
(presenting a revolver) keep still."

"You're Improving," said the deacon,
grimly. "This is the first Sunday morn

"For church?" echoed Johnny. "1

father? Hunkins Bros.' circus is goin'
to pass our house In about half an hour
on their way to Jimtown. I was aw
fully afraid I would miss seein' It. This

"Er I guess you're right, Johnny,"
feebly rejoined tho good deacon, rubbing
his chin.

Ughtful climate.
(From the San Francisco Argonaut.)
"In the heart of the great desert ot
the Colorado which the Southern Pa
cifio road traverses there Is an oasis
called Indio, which. In our opinion, If
the sanitarium of the earth. We be
lleve, from personal investigation, thai
for certain Invalids, the-e is no spot or
this planet so favorable."
G. T. Stewart, M. D., writes: "The
purity of the air, and the eternal sun
shine, nil one with wonder and delight.
Nature has accomplished sc
much that there remains but little for
man to do. As to its possibilities as a
health resort, here Ib the most per
fect sunshine, with a temperature al

oxygen, 'densa atmosphere and pure

It is the place, above all others, for
lung troubles, and a paradise for rheu

sufferers who have been cured, I hav
no hesitancy In recommending this
genial oasis as the haven of the afflict
