FURTHER REPLY TO MRS. DANIELS.

EDITOR NEW NORTHWEST:
| have read with considerable interest
Mrs. o. p. Daniels letter published in
your paper of August 18th; also the re-
ply of "Justicer from Southern Oregon.
And now, if you please, I should like to
express my views in regard to the mat
ter i'm further reply to Mrs. Daniels.
When woman so far forgets her pO-
sition in society as to appear in enmity
against man, and stoops so low in that
regard rs to become 'hOwling scan
dal mOnger," she deserves the severest
reproach and condemnation therefore
would say to her, Shame! Shame,
Mrs. Daniels You have sought by
bowling scandal i'm the public ear to
bring disgrace on noble and honorable
gentleman, but happily your attempt
has failed. The shafts of "malice and
spite' hurled at one in every way your
superior have fallen harmlessly, but
you will in no wise be held gniltless.
Justice has taken your case in hand,
and it is hoped you will receive the full
measure of your deserts. Strive as you
may to rob Mr.. Fay of his title and de
prive him of the right of holding Office,
you are powerless to disturb his calm
repose. To all your efforts he can truth
fully exclaim: ''There is no terror, Mrs.
Daniels, IN your scribblings, for am
armed so strong in the consciousness of
my great moral worth and political i'm
portance that heed them as the bark
ing of a puppy=dog, which l respect
not"
Mr. Fay is guilty of no misdeed, but
has acted in the best interests of So
eiety. The creature you have been
pleased to style "the hopeless, heart
broken, ruined girl" is a bold, bad,
coming Mrs. Fay" Who can estimate
the magnitude of such presumption
\ woman, "whose past was not spot
less" aspiring to the dizzying hight of
becoming the Honorable Mrs. Fay! To
he his mistress would be honor enough
for such as her. But to think of be-
coming his wife, the mother of his id1C-
fd children-the idea is preposterous
Finding she could never attain so lofty
a hight, what does this wicked creature
next attempt to do? To blast his repu-
tation-degrade him-ruin him-and
then marry him! Marry her victim {?
The wretch! How richly she deserves
the infamy to which she has been con-
signed
Contrast her dark design with the
conduct Of noble man. Does he seek to
marry the woman whose reputation he
has blasted? Never! His pure, sensi-
tive nature would shrink from uniting
in holy matrimony with one so de
graded.
Hannah Rails is accused of attempt
ing a deed the vilest man would blush
to contemplate. Surely Mr.. Fay is ell
titled to the lasting gratitude of human
ity for placing so terrible a creature
where she properly belongs-beneath
the feet of society. See how the very
life of public morals was imperiled by
her freedom unehaste woman will
infect with moral leprosy every virtu-
Gus woman with whom she comes in
contact. Happily man, being so infin-
itely superior to woman, is not subject
to moral contamination. He can wade
through all manner of filth and wick
edness, and come out pure and unde-
filed; but let a woman come in contact
with evil, and straightway she becomes
inoculated with its deadly poison.
What nobler work could an honorable
gentleman engage in than ferreting out
the errinp women of the land and pro-
