Terrible Death Of q Father and Son.
A fsL;. - a. .ee.L

IeTT1D1e UeaL0 O1 amer anu 0Qus
Achicago correspondent Of the Hart
ford Courant furnishes the following:
Chicago has recently witnessed a double
suicide, Of q character particularly painful
and shocking. Its details have been ex-
cluded from. our local papers, but I see
no reason why its moral should be lost
abroad. Dr.---was one, of the most
conscientious, wealthy and trusted physi-
clans Of. Chicago. He was an Alderman
also. and member of the Boatd Of Edu-
cationAa man of much power and cohsi-
derable culture. but, like some other per-
sons. he had fallen a victim to the cup.
His practice did not perceptibly diminih
ON that account. for there Is a prevalent
Superstition that great success IN medicine
IS incompatible Nth temperate prineip11s
and habits. The doctors father was
man of similar temperament, and q '.free
liver" also. He too was citizen of proni-
nence. and had held several places of trust.
Three weeks ago father and son went
deliberately forth ION q SPREE" They
wallowed together in drunkenness. They
deserted their homes for the season OF dis
sipatioD, land lodged among the uncleah.
At the end lot week the fathers endas~s
ance was exhausted. and he sunk dowsI
upon the street and was taken home With.
delirium tremens. He fingered two daJs.1
suffering all the torments Of perdition,
and died horrible death, his son being
dragged in from the street long enough
to'take drunken look at the coffin. Last
week the sons better constitution gave
way, and he. too. was taken home, cfsseda
with whiskey. He fingered longer. :but
the liquid fire burned, its way to.his yitall, =
and. after raving through: the terrible,
nights, and crying for more. he finally
died in the midst Of imaginary reptiles,
and his body was laid BY the side, Of the,
fresh mound Of his father. This double
suicide, so rapid and terrible. BY two
prominent snd respectable mens has ereas
ted profound sensation IN. all circles
where the facts are known.

WOMEN ALREADY VOTERS.

Miss Anthony's second lecture i'm
Portland was a mastery argument,
proving indisputably that by fair and
liberal Interpretation of the Fourteenth
and Fifteenth Amendments to the Con-
stitutiOn of the United States, the
women Of this country have the right TO
vote, or i'm other words that women are
already voters. She quoted from many
eminent statesmen, politicians and ju-
rists TO sustain her position, and we
think many who listened to her logical,
wOmanly words went TO their homes
with new ideas as TO the rights Of women
in our Government. As our city con-
temporaries have given generally fair
representations of her argument upon
this question, we refer our readers for q
more thorough review of this lecture to
their accounts, which will be found else
where.
Miss Anthony closed with few words
of advice which we hope will be needed
by every woman in our city i'm the COM
ing elections. She advised them TO offer
their votes, and if they should be reject
ed carry the case to the higher courts,
till it reached the supreme judicial tri-
bunal at Washington, where, i'm her
opinion, there was no reasonable doubt
but that the claims of woman would be
recognized. Ladies of Portland, will you

DEMOCRATIC REINFOROBMENTs.

a lady sends us the following:
EDITOR NEW NORTHWEST:
As was coming home from Miss An
thongs lecture the other evening, a
couple of men We're walking behind me
who became so interested over the new
dispenstion that they spoke very loudly.
Said one:
~ tell you it Won't DO to let the women
vote. Miss Anthony says there are
twenty thousand prostitutes i'm the city
OF New York. How would they vote -
with the great Democratic party, of
course" returned the other.
/ quickened my pace, but couldn't
help hearing some very prOfane words
before | could get out of the sound Of
their voices.
Now, friend Mrs. Duniway, don't you
fear that this bad feminine element can
be controlled by the members of the
Tammany Ring?
WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
1t isn't expected that the Tammany
Ring will exist long after the hundred
thousand virtuOus women of New York
have an opportunity to vote. Neither
will the twenty thousand harlots be al
lowed to run at large. The woman suf-
fragists will arrest them and place them,
and the men who support them, in asy-
lums for the morally insane.

MISS ANTHoNY's MOVEMENTS.

Besides her three lectures before the
citizens of Portland, Miss Anthony
spoke on Tuesday evening last at East
Portland, Wednesday evening at Ore
gon City, and Thursday evening at Sa-
lem. She will probably speak at other
points on this and tomorrow evenings
Next week, accompanied by Mrs. A. J.
Duniway, she starts for Walla Walla, to
attend the Washington Territory Agri-
cultural Fair She will then return
and visit the Linn county and Oregon
State Fairs, after which she proposes to
make thorough canvass of Oregon and
Washington Territory. Miss Anthony
is stirring and vigorous worker, pro-
found and logical speaker, has a truly
wonderful influence over her audiences,
and produces conviction wherever she
goes. She has been accustomed for
years to thus speak night after night
TO large audiences for months at time
"a fact to which we respectfully call
the attention Of those who contend that
woman is not fitted TO "speak in
public" Miss Anthony has awakened
the dormant feeling of duty and true
wOmanhOOd in many wOman's heart
in Portland, and scores of ladies i'm our
community who never before gave the
question a moments consideration are
now eager for the ballot

WHAT WE THINK.

The NEW NORTHWEST, i'm the last is
sue, after copying an article which for
merly appeared in the Republican, sub
mits to us the following interrogatOry {:
1--WE respectfully ask our brother if he
thinks it right, or even crpodiclf, TO
longer politically legislate to circum-
scribe wOman's opportunities?
Frankly, we dO.-DdLtds Republican.
That "frank" avowal is all there is of
his "reply," which extends through a
column of exploded nonsense, and shows
that our brother is as GLADLY i'm the
dark" rs the old lady was who lived i'm
the heart of a deep forest, in dirt cabin
without windows; so We do not think it
worth while to make any comment.
When our brother gets the mist of pref
udiee cleared from his journalistic Wis
ion he will want TO deny that lac has
ever uttered such a sentiment.
The new Northwest. [volume] (Portland, Or.) 1871-1887, 1871-09-15

ers would never vote TO levy war, but
when the necessity for war is forced
upon them they are ever foremost in the
line of duty.
WILL MAKE FAMILY DISCORD.
The speaker has seen two dogs fight
ing over bone, both disconnected, both
eager for the victory. Let somebody
throw them another bone and the strife
ceases. Let the man whose wife is quar-
relsOme give her political bone of her
own to pick.
FREE LOVE.
Men bring this charge. Women do
not. The large majority of women ara
virtuous and true rs steel. The majority
Of men are loose in their morals. They
should be ashamed of this silly bugbear
of legalized free love.
WOMAN DOES NOT WANT TO VOTE.
Then why do men put the words
"white males" into their Constitutions? {?
If they have corn fields they fence them
to keep animals out; if there was no
danger thatthey would enter there would
be no need of the fence. There are
many questions upon which women
want to vote. They will vote against
the social evil, against intemperance,
and for morality and decency. Try
them, and see if they do not want to
vote upon these questions. Here she
put the question to the ladies as TO
whether they did or did not want to vote.
Many voices answered aye, but no dis
senting sound was heard.
WOMAN SUFFRAGISTS MAKE TIE FIGHT
UPON ONE IDEA.
So did our Revolutionary fathers. The
one idea that taxation without repre-
sentation is tyranny was the basis OF
their struggle. Upon this one idea they
conquered their independence. Upon
the one idea of the perpetuation of om
national existence was the basis of the
struggle, and under that idea the Union
was preserved.
At the close of the argument, which
lasted two hours and n half, Miss An
thony made an urgent appeal to the Ia
dies to send up their signatures TO Wash
ington for Declaratory Act, and for
ward their dollar for the ''I1istory of the
Suffrage Movement" She closed with
an earnest appeal to the women to rally
to the support of the NEW NORTHWEST
an appeal which was especially appre-
ciated by the editor of this paper, and
one which has in n number of instances
been satisfactorily and substantially re-
spOnded to. We look for hosts of Other
such resnonses

PORTLAND.

Mrs. Money returned at noon, to-day,
on the mail steamer Rescue, from a two
days visit to Portland. She is pleased
with, and reports everything as lively
at the metropolis of Oregon. Had the
pleasure of hearing Miss Susan B. An
thongs lecture, on Wednesday evening,
which failed to make her a suffrage con-
vert. We may have further details of
her trip next week.
The Kalama Beacon has reached the
2Sth number of its first volume, and the
above is the first item of other than
merely local interest which we have
ever thought it worth while to copy.
We are sorry that Mrs. Money is so
blind to her own best interests as TO raise
her puny pen against the suffrage move
ment. She is as foolish as Dame Part
ington, who tried to sweep back the
waves Of the Atlantic with a mop.

ting both ways, affecting corresponding
Iv all classes Of people. Woman, armed
with the ballot, would be respected be-
cause of the power she would thereby
possess.
She proved TO the satisfaction of her
many gentleman hearers that men do
not in a general way, protect women,
and related an incident in her travels i'm
which she saved young and unsophis-
ticated girl from the clutches of a posse
of ribald young fellows, before the face
and eyes of number of gentlemanly
appearing men, who had looked on and
watched their nefarious designs without
once raising their arms or voices to pro-
tect her. Therefore men could not be
depended upon to protect women.
The speaker has a peculiarly happy
manner of using the right words in the
right place. She never hesitates in her
language, and is evidently as brim full
of argument at the close of her lectures
as in their beginning.

THE PORTLAND PRESS AND MISS
ANTHONY.

Our brethren of the daily press have
been exceedingly fair and courteous in
their reports of Miss Anthony's lectures.
saying so many excellent things about
them that we eheerfully give place in
our columns for their numerous COM
ments. 1t is intensely gratifying to our
feelings to be able to chronicle the fact
that the woman movement has advanced
beyond the period of constant ridieule,
and that thoughtful, earnest and excel
lent men are gravely discussing the fact
of woman's enfranchisement.

A RELAPSE.

It is a comparatively easy matter for
skilful equal rights physician TO cure
a rabid mans rights fever, but 1t Is eX-
ceedingly difficult TO guard the con-
valescing patient against relapse
Our friend of the Bulletin, who glad
dened the hearts of his suffrage physl-
clans for a brief period by presenting
unmistakable evidence Of fconvalescence,
has had an over dose Of scare, which has
had a serious effect upon his apprehen-
sive temperament. Though well pleased
with Miss Anthony as a lady and lee
turer, he thinks her arguments are
mischievous and revolutionary in a
social way" Therefore he is Opposed
to the whole theory of Miss Anthony's
system as he understands it."
Now, friend Bulletin, look here. If it
is true that there are so many unjust
husbands in this world that nothing
short Of social anarchy will follow the
equalization of pOwer-which yourself
will agree is simple justice-the longer
these unjust men are permitted to tyr
annie over intelligent and enlightened
women, the more terrible will be the
revolution when the dread awakening
comes. Who is it that is going to step
out of the house when woman gets her
political rights Not the scOB,an, sure
ly, for she can then claim all she asks
If the man, then himself will have
wrought the social ruin rather than
acquiesce in measures of justice. We
hope our brother editor will not do this
wicked thing. We don't believe he'll
have any temptation to do it.
We most emphatically raise our voice
in protest against this slander of our
brethren. The majority of men, as well as
women, are, and we believe ever will be,
good and noble. We regret that Miss
Anthony forgot to praise her brethren
little more in her last Portland lecture.
She says that many of the truest, best,
purest and noblest specimens of human
ity she has ever known were men, and
she believes with Ourself that there are
enough of these to help the noble
women OF the country TO hold society
level Therefore her faith in humanity
will not permit her to believe that her
doctrines, followed to logical cOnclu-
sions, Will bring about division in
homes, anarchy in families and chaos
in society"
Again we ask, Who is it that will step
out of the home when women vote?
We sincerely hope that our appre-
hensive brother will shortly recover
from his overdose of scare, and philo-
sophically resign himself to the inev-
liable.

THE POWER OF THE BALLOT.

Miss Anthony's lecture on Wednes-
day evening of last week, which we
promised our readers to interview in
this issue of the NEW NORTHWEST, was
principally devoted to the consideration
of the power Of the ballot.
The lecturer showed very forcibIv the
reason why the strikes of working wom-
en- never amounted 10 anything. She
said that the women of the Eastern
cities concentrated their forces for a
strike and expended large sums of money
in the attempt TO raise their wages TO
living prices. But the press with one
accord pronounced against them, and
their attempt was failure
One of the leaders in the movement
said to her: "AIiss Anthony, we offered
a certain newspaper ten thousand dol
lars to advocate our cause, and the offer
was declined. The strikes Of men are
never disregarded when their numbers
are large. How is it that women can
never successfully compete with men >"
Miss Anthony replied that the altry
sum of ten thousand dollars was as moth
ing when weighed in the balance against
hNe hundred votes. She convinced this
woman that in order to protect her
wages, her person and property, she must
have the ballot.
The lecturer brought forward amusino
"reminiscences Of the transitory period
from the negroes emancipation - a.
time Of their enfranchisement sho - eiis
that negroes heads were as curly .I'a'l I''iu
heels as long and skulls as thick a. tI'Il
were before, but politicians no lon.
harped these things upon the stn,,9,'
and the reason was because the na,,roa,
now having UOteS, are respected by poIi,
ticians, and consequently receive l,rotec-
ton in their rights.
She said that if the Irish and German
element were denied the right to vote.
they would be as badly abused by men
in power as the negroes once had been.
The ballot is a two-edged sword, cut

NEW YORK, Sept 12-The theft yes
tertlay discovered in the Controllers Of
flee was the exciting topic of converse
ton throughout the city last evening.
There were various opinions in regard
to who stole the vouchers, and what
they were stolen for. Some think the
affair was one of the ring tricks, for the
purpose of forcing the Controller to re-
sign, and this theory seemed to have ac-
quired plausibility, when late last night
it was announced that Mayor Hall adj
dressed the Controller communication,
setting forth that (the Mayor was con-
strained to conclude that the eXigency
demanded his retirement from the head
of the Finance Department, in order
that some other person might be placed
there by the Mayor, who will be ena-
bled to investigate the affairs of the
Controllers office and restore public
confidence.
