A Bin Providing f5r,an Assistant Treas
urer.

A bill has passed the Senate which
authorizes the State Treasurer, at his
discretion, to appoint an Assistant. who
shall have power to perform the duties
OF Treasurer, and, as compensation
sor such Assistant, the Lill provides
that the Treasurer shall receive ohe>
half of one per cent. for all monies re-
ceived BY him. and one per cent. for
aiidisbursements made by him. THIS
gives the Treasurer one and half per
cent on all monies received aud paid
out by him over aud above his regul ar
salary. This, 10 our judgement, amounts
to about this: He will handle about
four hundred Thousand dollars the first
year of his administration-there being
on hand the money for two years past
--and the balance of three years he
would handle two hundred thousand
per annum; this would amount, during
his term, to one million dollars, giving
he Treasurer the sum OF fifteen thou
sand dollars for his services during HE
term; add to this lis salary, provided
by the Constitution, of eight hundred
dollars per annum. amounting TO three
thousand two hundred dollars, added
to the amount provided in this bill and
we have the nice little sum of eighteen
thousand two hundred dollars. which
goes directly into the hands of our
Treasurer during his term and payable
quarterly. This, to say the least, is a
very ingenioes way of avoiding the
Constitution and raising Tie salary Of
The Treasurer TO four thousand five hun
lred and fifty dollars per annum, in
stead of eight hundred which the peo>
pie have heretofore paid. This may lie
all right for Democrats, but it is re-
renchmcnt with vengeance, and this
is the way the crushing burdens Of tax
ation-so loudly proclaimed by Demo-
cratic stump orators-is to be lifted
from the shoulders of the sturdy yeo-
manry of Oregon.

One of the arguments most freauert.

One OF the arguments most frequent.
ly advocated by those who oppose wo-
mans suffrage is that the majority OF
women do not themselves desire the

he case, does it prove that thing is
not desirable for class because that
class may not happen to desire it?
For instance, in India the English
authorities resolved to put an end to
the hideous practice of the suffice

abolition of this custom was strenuous

We think, with that paper, that il
all races of men are to be permitted to
exercise that moss sacred right within
the jurisdiction of the United States,
it is not only silly, but absolutely wrong
70 exclude our mothers, wives and
daughters, who arc far more capable
than the wild African or even the Mon
golian to exercise that privilege. be-
cause they understand much better the
workings of our government; and to
say that they do not desire it is no am
swer to the proposition to extend the
right, for if there were those who de-
sired not to vote, the privilege would
not compel them.

hastily to his side, and resting her hand
lightly on his shoulder, said, with all

evening about thrce>quarters of an
hour by the non arrival of the Marys-

Woman's Mission; how pliablc, how

and She has neither time or strength for
anything beyond the duties encumbcnt
upon her, and when these duties are per.
formed, they radiate all Of the beautiful

that Woman is degraded; and invariably
