IHE TREATY FAILURR-Erciting Debate in
Tidradment.-The moving by Lord Russell in the
house OF Lords last night of his long threatened
aooress 10 the Queen praying that instructions
De gwen to her Majesty's representatives at
Geneva to retire from the board of arbitration,
II the claims for indirect damages were 1t
WITHDRAWN, gave rise to a long and animated
debate. The Earl in his address said that the
nonor OF the English government required that
II should speak plainly, and that it should say to
the United States "withdraw the indirect
claims or no arbitration" The bombastic Earl
concluded his address with: "The nation must
snow, as 1t has before, that it Is jealous of the
honor of the British crown; it must treat the
United States as ii treated them in the Trent
case" Earl Granville defended the right of
the United States to place its own construction
on the treaty. and to introduce the indirect
claims. He also defended the commissioners
who negotiated the treaty, and very properly
rebuked Earl Russell for his sneering alluson
to the Trent affair. The discussion assumed a
wide range, and during its continuance the
members sharply criticised each others Lam
guage. After one unsuccessful motion to adj
journ, second to adjourn until Thursday was
agreed to.

One very beautiful hat is of the New

Bows and ends of no. gros grain rib

The Golden Age has not yet found
time to allude TO the endorsement of
Woman Suffrage by the Republicans of
Massachusetts, but suddenly remembers
that there Is a class of citizens known
as women, and utters the following pa
thetic whine:
awe exceedingly regret that Mr.. Gree
ley has never seen his way clear to adj
vocate the enfranchisement of woman,
thus crowning life which has been
devoted to the reforms of social evils
and the advancement of all human in
terests and rights, by the advocacy of
the greatest reform of all time; but it
becomes the friends of this cause to re-
spect the sincerity of his conviction,
and to recognize the splendid service he
has rendered to woman i'm all other
ways. They cannot afford to be guilty
of an Injustice
Weare almost sorry for the suflragists
who went to Cincinnati to inaugurate
political reform and forgot to include
Woman Suffrage. If only some wise
spirit could have whispered to them,
''It is good thing to have the women
of America on your side" As it is, so
far as Mr.. Greeley's election the Liberal
movement are concerned, Il is too tate.

THE BALL Is ROLLING.

Susan b. Anthony, the ubiquitous
and irrepresslble champion of Human
Rights, was summoned last month by
telegraph from her home in Rochester
TO Washington City before the Con-
gressional Republican Committee, in
council assembled, to confer with her,
as President of the National Woman
Suffrage Association, as to the best
method to adopt i'm the present political
campaign for the further recognition of
their inalienable rights. The Commit
tee have said amen to everything that
the Suffrage Party could desire. They
have appointed Mrs. NJ. H. Barnard,
No. ll04 l. street, Washington, ID. c.,
to publish a woman's campaign paper
to send OFF every week or oftener. They
have also given Miss Anthony a big
check to carry on campaign meetings
and the Rochester Mayor and Commit
tee paid all expenses of the woman's
opening campaign meeting in that city
on the Goth. OF course our friend Susan
is in ecstacies, and well she may be, for
her twenty years battle for the political
recognition of woman is well nigh its
great fruition.
But Oregon is ahead of New York,
dear Susan. She will be the first State
in the Union TO enfranchise her women.
The Republican party not only meets
the expenses Of woman's campaign
meetings, but the Legislature, now in
Session, gives us reason to hope for the
/ passage of a Suffrage Bill, so that we
can all Uote according to the dictates OF
our understanding at the coming No
vember election.
If the self-conceited, self-complacent
Sage-hen of Chappaqua could have fore
seen the present political power o.
woman, he would have piped a differ.
ent tune when the editor of this paper
visited him last May. But it's too late,
Auntie Horace. We don't like men to
be 50 much scorso than cOmen. We like
to see them stand by principle for the
love Of it, and when We see public aspir-
ants like yourself engaged in repudiat-
ing the work of a lifetime to further
their own selfish interests, we know
enough to accomplish by pO1Cer that
which we cannot effect by persuasion.
Greeley, Tilton and Sumner, the Tri-
umvirate 10 whom true reformers
looked as guides 10 lead the people
through the wilderness of one-sexed
politics, have proved recreant to theil
duty and gone over to our enemies. Let
them abide the consequences.

Below we present our readers with the
eighth plank of the Massachusetts Re-
publican Platform. We call the special
attention of our Legislators to its
strong significance:
5. Resolved, That we heartily approve Of the
recognition OF the rights OF woman contained
in the fourteenth clause OF the National Re
publican Platform that the Republican party
Of Massachusetts, as the representative Of Lib
erty and Progress, is in favor Of extending Suf-
lrage on equal terms 10 all American citizens,
irrespective of sex, and viii hail the day when
the educated intellect and enlighted conscience
Of woman viii find expression az the ballot
box.
Three cheers for Massachusetts, She
"hails the day when the educated intel
lect and enlightened conscience of
woman will find direct expression at
the ballot-box."
Now let Oregon go still further in the
right direction. Let her as 4 State, un-
der the Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Amendments to the Federal Constitu-
tion, pass an act instructing her judges
Of election to receive our votes, and
then three times three for Oregon

brains and culture are everywhere de-
crying the jury system as one far be-
hind the present age of reading and
general information, for one Legislator
10 prove himself such an inveterate
fogy as to try TO fasten the penalty Of
jury trial upon the already too numer-
GUS horrors of divorce, is but another
evidence OF legislation run mad, which
sexual law imposes upon its victims.
We do not by any means advocate di-
vorces, but we should prevent them by
proper education and regulation i'm re-
gard to marriage rather than by brutal
chains which cause the hymeneal yoke
to gall and fret its dissatisfied victim
till very often suicide or murder accrues
as a dernier resort of some desperate
creature, who sees in this crime the
only escape from bondage which j:
worse than death unless fraught with
affection and congeniality.
