But, your moat important point, if you
hope to win th. ballot at all, is to con­
vince the average voter that tn seeking
your liiierties, you are equally anxious
that he shall preserve hie own. You
may drive, or lead a horse to water, but
you cannot make him drink. Nor can
you lead any man to vote for your en­
franchisement till you have tint con­
vinced him that by so doing he i. nut
placing you in a position where you
may, if you choose, trample upon aay ol
his rights, whether they be fancied or
real, healthful or harmful. Every wo­
man knows »he cannot rule her own
husband. The uian who would tie ruled
by hi. wife wouldn't lie worth corralling
in the chimney corner after she had
driven him home. What is true of men
in the abstract, is equally true of men m
ths aggregate I cannot too strongly im­
press upon you, good sisters, the fact
that we will never get the ballot till ths
crack of doom if we persist in demand
ing it aa a whip with which to .corge
the real or apparent vices of ths present
voting classes If we can make men
willing to lie reformed they will thee re­
form themselves.
Here is where woman has, in th.se
last two decail.s made bar greatest blun­
der. Whenever she demands th. bal­
lot, not simple because it ia her right to
lio.se«. it, but because by its use she ex­
pacts to reconstruct the genus man by
law, on a basis of her own choosing, she
only succeed, in driving nails into the
closed cofilin lid of her own and other
women', liberties.
Men know intuitively that the right to
representation in the legislature i. a
right a. inestimable to us a. to them ,
that it i. formidable to tyrants only.
Di.y do not lielieve themselves to be ty­
rants, and will resent the implication
that they are sech, to the bitter end.
They also know that “women, in giving
a.ai.tame to the soldiers, antler their
full share of the penalties and perils of
existence, equalling all the horrors <q
war. Bo when they say “women must
fight it they vote", it ia eaey in the awful
glare of the tragedies of the present year
to convince them in the words of Joa­
quin Miller, Oregon’s greatest |sjet, that
“The bravest battles that ever were
(ought were fought by the mothers nf
msn.’’
When men claim to represent us, it is
not difficult if we are always careful not
to make them angry, to prove to them
that Mien never eey, if any woman is ac-
- used of crime, “may it please the court
and ths jury, I represent this woman,
punish uie."
No man, save Jesus «( N'szsretb, our

•Many good men object to women do­
ing jury duty. They often frighten timid
women by laying, "how would yon like
to tie locked up in the jury rrotn with II
men'’“ I can't understand why so
many men imagine that if women
should once lie allowed their right to
vote, they Would never thereafter do
anything else but vote, vote, vote. Now
- an 1 comprehend eeoltier fancy equal­
ly absurd, that just as soon as women
are voters, they will all be compelled to
ait all the time on juries , and everyone
ol tliooo unfortunate jurors will always
have aa many little children as poor
John Kogers of historical memory . and
no mailer what the stats ef her health,

Our friends *u»t of the Rocky moun­
tain« were atnaatd and elaetritled in the
autumn of 1883 by the announcement
that the legislature ol Washington Ter­
ritory bad extended the ballot to women.
Four year« later, after a few s*lf im­
ported agitators had made a strong at­
tempt to use tne women'« ballots, for the
enforcement of auniptuary legislation,
(to which the men objected, even while
pretending to aj>prov» it till they got
the woman in a trap), women every­
where were dumbfounded by the action
of the poliliciana of the territory, who
retaliated by «hutting down the iron
gat«« of a slate constitution in the wo­
men’« faces, leaving them a« ex-voters
ou the outside ol the temple of liberty
with their hands tied.
The tnen of Washington are not yet
over their ecare, nor will they be till wo­
men have mad* an effort to convince
them that the eye«of the great majority
are now open, and th.y’ll never be en­
trapped in such a way again.

A year ago, when our second semi-an­
nual cokvsh I iok of tne Oregon congress
of women was in session, it was boldly
proclaimed by a zealous advocate ol

Fumín C oikikk : Yesterday's mail in­
formad me ol the intention of Mr. Seth
Harding's wifo and four grown daugh­
ters to coma to Oregon and settle on a
claim in Gallea district. Duty compella
me to inform my friends and the cinna­
mon dudes of Josephine county that this
family have a reputation throughout the
Southwest as being tbe most deceptive
in appearance of any ever met with, be­
ing rather delicate looking and not of
Herculean proportions, but the family
from lim oldest to the baby, nuw 16 years
and 5 months old, are treated with pro­
found r»»|>e<-t ami deep courtesy through­
out the county where they tesids and the
presencn of one of them will quell a riot.
They are known as the strong friends of
Tarzewell county. They are refined and
well educated and obliging, are good
musicians, attractive and beloved by
their neighbors. Miss .Maggie teaches
music during the winter svsuingi and
hews timber during the day, turning
with ease a 11x14 20 foot timber with
her hands. Last fall at the depot, she
saw two New York drummers annoying
a timid young girl from the Country with
their brazen attentions. She picked up
the larger and threw him over her bead
and dislocaled his shoulder, thus render­
ing him Aors os cesiA ,t in a flash and ore
the astonished and almost paralysed
drummer, hiinsell a pugilist, numtier
two could assume an attitude of defense,
she removed four teeth, cracked bi* jaw
buua and disturlwd hie left lung with a
well directed kick. Teasa, a sweet child,
the youngest, was assisting with her vio­
lin at a small country revival when a
ir.as.ive Hungarian coal miner entered.
He was in an ugly mood, being Intoxi­
cated and disturbed the meeting. The
young lady laid her violin and bow aside
walked down the aisle aad requested him
to remain quiet or leave immediately.
An Insulting reply, two terrible blows
and picking uji the prostrate insensible
bully, she tossed him out through the
nearest window, sash and all. Mrs.
Harding ran shoulder a barrel ol beef.
The entire family are of a retiring dispo­
sition until some one becomes fresh or
intuiting, A hall is called for a few
moments and some neighbor goes ont
for the nearest express wagon. We w.l-
come all new neighbors who COUl. to
t «slice but I await their arrival with fear
and trembling.

The woman who ia lovely in face,form
and temper will always have friends, but
one who would Ire attractive mint keep
her health. If she is weak, aickly and

ney trouble, her impure blood will cause
pimples, blotches, skin eruptions and a
wretched complexion. Electric Bitters
