IMPORTANT RAILWAY CHANCES.

Perhaps no railroad combination 10 looked
upon with more favor by any people than is
the Pennsylvania Central and its ccnnec.
tions BY the travelling public and business
men of this section of the West. And natu-
rally enough too as the men who have man.
aged the business OF these roads are west
ern men who fully understand how to make
railroads popular. Wnen bin Chicago we
learned of some important changes of these
well known railway officials of which we
have before vaguely limited. Mr.. Thos L..
KimbAll who has for years been connected
with the Pennsylvania road in very impOr
tAni positions of trust, and for several years
past has so well managed the western pas
'enger business of that road, has been ap-
pointed General Ticket Agent of the Union
Paciho Railway, with headquarters at Oms
hA. Mr.. W. @. Cleland, who has for several
years filled the same important position in
the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago
Railroad has assumed the duties lately per
formed by Mr.. Kimbsll in addition ty his
o"n,and also takes the position of Assistant
General Ticket Agent of the Pennsylvania
roads, with headquarters at Chicago. This
places the control of the passenger business
of these consolidated lines throughout the
Northwest in his hands-than which we
know Of no better, more careful and experi-
eneed in ell our railroad Acquaintances
Courteous and afAble, knowing the require
, ments OF the West, and with 9 very valuable
experience, the we'll earned reputation OF
these lines will not suffer in his handi. And
while Mr.. Kimbsll goes to new 6e ds Of duty
he can DO assured the bes. wishes of his
many friends in this section 60 with him.

TAYLOR'S
Stomach l. Liver Cerrector
Bilious Rheumatism.

Persons who reside in the vicinity Of sWamps,
low lands, or near any staEnant body Of water,
are more liable to this disease. as the missms
arising from such places it almost sure TO pro-
duce Fever and Ague, and Fever in different
forms. Bilious Rheum a sn is also ind uced BY
exposure during rainy weather, or sudden chan
ges of temperature. A disordered Liver will
frequently cause this disease, always inereasing
the suffering. and rsnderiDg it more difficult TO
cure. The symptoms of this extremely painful
form of Rheumatic complaint are, pain in the
Head, Nausea, furred Ton que, stiffness of the
Joints, and violent pains through the body.
Taylor's Stomach and Liver CorrectOr viii surely
effect a cure None of the ingredients ere in
any way injurious, aud the curative powers are
wonderful. This valuable medicine searches TO
the root of the disease and parts affected, excl
ting the liver to healthy action, relieving the
body Of its pains, removing all stiffness from the
ioints, purify ing and cleansing the whole 'ys-

Neuralgia, or Acute Rheu-
maiSm,

Is ocsasioned by cArslessness, exposure, or any
of the various ways and means by which We take
a severe cold, or it may be caused by fatigue.
The sy ymptoms are extreme nervousness, intense
pain in the muscles and joints, the flesh is sWol-
len and sensitive to the touch. One popularity
of this form of Rheumatism lie, that it frequently
changes from one portion of the body to another
even when no external application hes been used
to drive it to any other part The entire sys-
ten is prostrsted by suffering, We long for rest,
but the acute, daEting pains will not permit Us
that pleasure. External applications are use
less and often prove dangerous, by driving the
pain to some vital organ. Drive il out Of the
eystem instead Of driving it in, and Tsylor's
Stomach and Liver Corrector Is warrented to
give relief. It will 20 to the sest Of pain,
strengthen the nervous sy stem, and effect cure.

Her Walla Walla trip was in every,

Who were the First Advocates of Woman'i
Rights?

The question, believe, has never
been satisfactorily settled. Some claim
the honor for this, some for that indi-
vidual, while an English advocate has
referred ii to Plato, two thousand years
ago, thus claiming for the cause high
antiquity. But il seems To me that il
has a greater antiquity by ten centuries
than the age of Plato, and greater
veneratiOn attached to il, at least by
Bible readers, from the fact that il is
mentioned i'm sacred writings.
In Numbers p, it is recorded that five
sisters in the Hebrew nation, whose
father had died without male heirs,
claimed their right TO division of the
land the same rs the male representa-
tives ofthe family, although such claim
had never before been made and was de-
eidedly an innovation.
The manner i'm which they presented
their claim deserves notice. 1t was not
by petition through some members of
the Hebrew Legislative Assembly, but
il was in person, i'm the presence of the
lawgiver, and leader of the nation, the
High Priest, the princes and the whole
congregation, bV the door of the taber-
nacle. The text has it, ''They stood
up" and spoke for themselves. Here is
an example of women, the women of
the Bible, too, speaking i'm a public
assembly, on the subject Of WOmen's
Rights.
There might have been conservatives
in that assembly, for aught we know,
and there might have been some of the
priests who believed the sacredness of
the family institution in danger; some
Mrs. Gen. Eliab, or the wife of some
prince Nathaniel, might have said,
These women are out of their proper
sphere,n but as there was no Chicago
Adrdnce or New York Tribune to rep
resent the opposition, we fail to profit by
argument.
How was the demand of the daugh-
ters of Zelophehad regarded by the illus
triOus Hebrew lawgiver? Did he give
them "leave To withdraw ~ such dis
courtesy belongs to the chiyalrous nine
teenth century He did not consider
himself sufficiently wise to decide 4
question affecting the interests of q
whole class, but referred the matter tC
the Supreme Ruler, whose decision II
would be well for some of those who
profess to know the divine purpose in
the creation of women To remember.
The names of the five women were
Mahlan, NOAH, Hoglah, Micah and
TirZah.
The text reads:
"And Moses brought their causes be-
fore the Lord.
And the Lord spale unto Moses say
ing:
THE daughters of .ZelOphehad speak
right. Thou shalt surely give them Il
pOssession of an inheritance among
their fathers brethren; and thou shalt
cause the inheritance of their fathers to
mass unto then. WOmGR's .JOuR0ti y

THE SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT.

In response to IA little notice We gave
regarding Mrs. Moneys views of Miss
Anthony's lectures last week, the Ka-
lama Beacon publishes a rejoinder of
something over a column of nOn-com-
initial generalities in reply. In regard
to women voting or not voting Mrs. Mo-
ney appears to be like the girl who had
two lovers between whom she could not
decide When one was present she loved
him the best of all i'm the world; when
the other was with her her heart was
wholly and unalterably his, and when
both were absent she was in delight
ful state of neutrality"
Mrs. Money objects to our mode OF
treating the suffrage question. We sup
pose that if we were TO publish half
and-half, milk-and-water, non-cOmmit-
tai concern, always afraid to express
our opinion lest somebody shouldn't
like it-a paper, for instance, like the
Beacon Mrs. Money would think il
was just the thing. Most people,
however, fail to see the influence such
a journal eXerts. , As to the infiu-
ence of the NEW NORTHWEST under its
present tactics we refer our cOntem-
porary to an article in the last issue o
this paper entitled "Woman's Right.
Feeling in Portland" first published
in the Oregon Herald, in which is de
picted the progress of the cause Of Won.
an Suffrage in this city since the estab-
lishment of this paper.
Mrs. Money promises more on this
subject. We respectfully ask her to an
swer in her future literary coruscations
on this subject the question APP
pended: care you i'm favor of Woman
Suffrage as principle or not ?n An un-
derstanding arrived at, there will be
some show for discussion.

WOMEN ALREADY VOTERS.

Judge Underwood, L. :. District Court
Judge for Virginia, has given his writ
ten opinion that the Fourteenth and
Fifteenth Amendments to the Unit
ed States Constitution, together with
the enforcement act of May Slst, ISL,
have secured to the women of the State
of Virginia the right to vote. HuzZa
The light begins To beam along the hOri-
zon of woman's fast-eoming era of po-
litieal freedom. This opinion, if correct,
will apply full as well to all the other
States in the Union as Virginia. Now
let test case go to the Supreme Court
Of the United States. We have every
reason to believe that that tribunal will
render a favorable decision-and then
goodbye to the whisky rings"
