Prevention and Cure.

These sixteen Flushing salOOn-keepers
might, perhaps, be excused il, on the

bands, fathers of families; why interfere
with us-why not let us make short
work of them, and summon the Coroner
to take inquest in drunken brawl, and
save these protesting wives from further
wretchc,incss, more innocent children
from drunken paternity ."

You men legislators start it, watch its

Watch him enter his abode, Smarting
with the rebuff of his loved haunt, and
furious at the wife who has dared gain

story, photograph the scene, kicks,
blows, mutilatiOns-death even-from
him, her sworn protector.
Kind law, ever ready with helping
hand, binds him To keep the peace.
Does this heal wounds of heart and
limbi does it prevent renewed abuse; does

Could our sagaciOus Legislators person

Stockholm to devote herself to the art
of painting, where she married, i'm 1899,

Schwartz. He was opposed to every ar

SOME GOSSIP ABOUT MISS AN
TH0NY.

EDITOR NEW NORTHWEST:
In one of our late Oregon papers | no.
ticcd a short article stating that Miss
AnthOny's campaign had already cost
Oregon five thousand dollars, and be-
moaning the great waste thereby in
CURED. Now, in the first place, permit
me to state it as my opinion that il that
sum has BeeI, expended, it is very small
pay for the amount of light received and
delight experienced; and, in comparison
with the cost of any political campaign
heretofore conducted, presume il TO be
very insignificant. To those who would
weep over the great loss, however, 1
would say the expenses of the "woman's
campaign are not yet computed or
paid.
Furthermore, | would ask: How
many papers i'm Oregon have ever been
sufficiently exercised over the vast eX-
penditures of the country on travelling
circuses, negro minstrels, low theaters
and the like, to bewail the lavish ex-
travagance in ever so mild Il way?
They have permitted Plmmcr and
'Jeems Pipes to have crowded houses
and carry Off an unreported and uncal-
culated sum of OregOn's wealth, and
taken their secondhand wit and senti-
ment as an equivalent beyond question.
But they were men.
One thing would like to say about
Miss Anthony's private lecture, rs /
heard it. Ii gave more valuable infor-
nation and more reasonable theories for
the advancement and perfection of the
human race than | ever heard i'm any
political speech in my life; and ! have
heard several eminent politicians. As
for improbable and low anecdotes, |
heard none to which these adjectives
would apply. The speaker said nothing
that was not either useful in sustaining
her noble theories or that failed to cor
respond in any particular with known
and universally acknowledged facts. On
the question of the proportion of Objec-
I tionable stories usually introduced i'm
political speeches (where women are not
admitted), i have no idea Miss Anthony
ever intends to compete, and doubt her
capacity to do so successfully if men are
correct reporters of political lectures.
And she ''abused the men % What a
pity! They never abuse each other, es-
pecially in political speeches! Well, |
will admit that she failed to awaken
much sympathy in my mind for the class
of men to whose wiles and sins she al
luded. But she surely told nothing at
all that was new about them. As for the
number of ''unfaithful husbands" | am
as much at loss to give Miss AS views
Of their proportion as should have been
before | ever saw or heard of her. This
much | have felt was due TO Miss An
thony and the public, in order that
wrong impressions of her lectures might
not be disseminated.

stsvart's 5 Aotel for Women.

Stewards Hotel for Women, at the

cifv. is lifting its broad sides up into the
elevated reeiOus where they command
GENERAL observation, and its fine proper

dollars have been expended, and another
million will be required TO give II the
finishing touches. Ii occurs To us that
erecting separate hotels, schools, col
lesges, hospitals and prisons for women
exclusively, is likely to be carried too
far. Men and women should be trained
up together, and not separately as though
they were two different and distinct
species; as though they Were natural
enemies; as though Generalization,
degradation and degeneration would
surely follow friendly and intimate as
sociatiOn. We have already, in our es-
/ timation, too many of these separate in
stitutions. Those persons in the posses

WOMEN MAY VOTE IN WASHINGTON
TERRITORY.

The Walla Walla Union says:
If Miss Susan b. Anthony or any other
woman will refer to page "a, Statutes Of
Washington Territory for 1866, She
will find that the first clause of the elec-
ton law of this Territory allows woman
suffrage here. The opening words of the
first section Of the Act are: "Bc IL elt-
acted" etc., ''that all white American
citizens above the age of twenty-one
years. etc, ''shall be entitled to hold
office or vote at any election in this Ter
ritory.p Under the provisions of this
section eminent lawyers hold that
women are rs much entitled To vote and
hold Office as are the men.
Women of Washington Territory! see
that you assert your right to the ballot.

KITCHEN UTENSILS That duties of

The Art Of Stumbling.

Some people marry with foregOue
conclusion, as To the necessity of snub-
bling on one side or the other; and so,
to make sure of not being the victim,
are careful to take the initativeand be the
executioner. They live i'm the perpet-
ual exercise of the art, and by practice
obtain a cunning equal tO that which
enables the marksman To split a bullet
on IA pen-knife. Sometimes it is the
wife who is snubbed out of all chance
of the most elementary self-assertion-
sometimes it is the husband, for the
good of whose soul the wife undertakes
the task of his personal humiliation.
Like the venom of certain reptiles, con-
tiuuous snubbing has curlOusly he
numbing effect on the moral system,
and after time produces paralysis OF
the self-reSpecting faculties both odd
and painful to witness. People unused

pTacticed, are amazed ut the qulctness
with which the patient receives imper-
tinences which thrill them with indig-
nation to hear. They expect some kind
of protest, if only of the millest kind,
when the wife, looking across the table,
SAYS in clear voice, audible to the
whole company, "John, you have told
that story so often, you seem to imagine
il true; you know il never happened;'
or when the husband cuts his wife short
in her narration by setting her to rights,
altering her dates, re-arranging her facts,
pairing off her details, and so ON, giving
you TO understand by the manner of the
Snub that she is II fool and he is the
possessor of a superior wisdom, which
makes you long to kick him on the
spot. But the husband accepts the re-
bulle with the patience of a parchyderm

sides into her assigned position of in

The Treaty.

The High Commission which
had been in session for some time
to fix up a treaty or settle all dis
putes between the United States
and Great Britain, has finally
drawn its labors to aelose. The
provisions of this treaty show that
the British Government is now
most earnestly resolved to close up
every controversywit the Unite d
States, and to leave no door open
TO future diffcalties. This is
both rightand wise. Itwas thought
toy many that the troubles between
this and the mother country could
only be settled by the arbitration of
arms, but it has proved otherwise.
This treaty, SO it is said, is more
important than any which has
been made between this country
and the English Government since
tho memorable ministry of George
III.

TIrusyILLE, Pa, May GA
terrible nitro-glycerine explosion
occurred to-day, about five miles
from Titusville, on the road to

pounds of the compound, belong
ing to Roberts & Co., were explod-
ed while being transported in a
wagon, and the driver, Chas. G.
Clark, as well as the horse and We
hicle, were blown to atoms. A
barn forty rods distant was demol-
ished, and an excavation, five feet
deep and twelve feet broad, was
made in the roadway. The lar
gest fragment, of Clark's body,
which has been found, is portion
of his face. The horses shoes
were stripped off and broken.
Nothing was left of the wagon but
splinters of wood and iron, scat,

down by q missile of some kind,
which entered the window OF her
