WHAT'S UP7

Strange things have happened in this
world, and strange things will, no doubt,
continue to happen to the end of time.
The latest occurrence is an indication
that the period has about arrived when
the lion and the lamb will lie down to-
gether-although We'll wager a two-bit
piece that the lamb gets the worst of 1t.
All of which means that the editors OF
the McAIinnville West Side and Lafay-
cite Courier are becoming affectionate

rons TO subscribe for Bro. Upton's pa

forgot his name), "what's up?'
a malevOlent individual at our ell
bow suggests that it is pretty hard to
see just where the lion and lamb come
in, and thinks that couple of animals
of the mule persuasion would be more
appropriate. We wish it distinctly I'M
derstOod, however, that we take no
stock in the base insinuatiOn.

OO-EpUOATION OF THE SEXES.

One Of the most cheering signs Of the
times is the rapid change taking place
in the advanced educational institutions
of the civilized world in regard to wom-
en- being admitted to compete for cole
giate honOrs. 1t has been satisfactorily
proven that young ladies learn the
higher branches as readily and acquit
themselves with as much honor as the
young gentlemen. II has also been
demonstrated that both sexes make
better progress when they thrown to-
gether, spirit of rivalry being thus
induced that would not otherwise exist.

Baltimore Warned.

SUSAN L. ANTHONY on THE BALTIMORE cos
NENTIOS.
To the Editor Of the WOrId-Tr: Hav-
ing faithfully watched the action of the
Cincinnati and Philadelphia cOnven-
tiOns, my waiting eyes are now turned
TO Baltimore. If the Democracy to as
semble there shall go as far ahead of the
Republicans on the woman question rs
they have, in their fourteenth plank, of
the self-styled Liberals who met i'm Gin
cinnati, the Baltimore platform and
nominee must secure the sympathy and
support of every loyal woman in the
country.
\ plank recognizing women that
would be satisfactory to US might read
rs follows, According to the COnsti-
tuition as it is, with its fourteenth
amendment declaring all persons born
or naturalized i'm the United States, and
subject to the jurisdiction thereof, citi-
zens,' and cOncurring i'm the opinion of
Judge Taney, that n citizen is one who
has entire equality of privileges, civil
and political,' we are logically conf
PEELED to admit that women, being citi-
Zens, are possessed of the right to vote,
and entitled to national protection in
the exercise thereof"
! We ask every Democratic paper in
the country TO publish this plank that
/ il may command the timely considera-
/ tion Of the best minds in the party who
will mould the action of the coming
convention. Political parties must be
I built on some live issue. After all the
| talk we hear of policy and cXpediency,
I the soul of every successful coalition is
some living principle. And the success
OF Baltimore depends on progressive
platform and a nominee with pro-
nounced opinions on finance, free trade,
/ the interests of labor and woman suf-
/ frage-all Of which Cincinnati ignored
and Philadelphia winked ut. You can
not rouse the enthusiasm of the people
on party cry OF "kill Grant" especi-
ally among women, with Greeley rs a
substitute.
The World in late editorial so ably
/ presented n point that is often pressed
on our consideration that, if your space
will permit, | would like you to repro
duce it with my reply:
''One of Miss Susan Il. Anthony's res
olutions, Offered at the meeting Of the
National Woman Suffrage Association,
has the true political ring; but we are
/ impelled to ask if it is not just q trifle
superfiuOus? The resolution in question
reads as follows:
THAT we, the woman suffragists of
the country, will work and vote with
the great national party that shall ac-
knowledge the political equality of
women
we attach so much Importance to all
Miss Anthonyis utterances, that it
causes us a pang to note in the above
extract an apparent dereliction from
principle. Does she really mean to
pledge her own support and that of her
sex at large TO any party on the single
condition of acknowledging woman's
political equality, irrespective of all
other issues? Has she-have they-no
convictions concerning the broad ques-
on which great national parties are
founded? Does she entertain no pre-

FOR GRANT.

The Wom0n's journal is out for Grant
and Wilson. While wishing that a
more positive Woman Suffrage plank
had been adopted at Philadelphia, it is
very much pleased for the slight ac-
acknowledgement of woman's political
demands. The Pioneer, of san Fran
cisco, also leans the same way, although
evidently waiting to see what will be
done at Baltimore. Should the Cincin-
natl mistake be there repeated, the
great majority of the Woman SufTra-
gists will undoubtedly fall into line for
Grant and Wilson, and contribute
largely towards securing the greatest
triumph yet achieved by the Republi-
can party.

DAUGHTERS OF THE RICH.-NO class
of women are more to be pited than the
daughters of rich men, who, having real
force and energy of character, have no
vent for it, because fashion requires
them to sit still and fold their hands. 1t
does not require this of their brothers.
They are applauded when they grow
restive under it, and breaking their
bonds, interest themselves in a manly
way in something besides mere pleas
ure. But let a daughter try it, and inn
mediately the awful Mrs. Grundy starts
up, and points to her wOrsed dogs and
eats, and her crOquet ground, and her
French dressmaker, and bids the daugh-
ter of the millionaire still her pulses.
and close her eyes and ears to the possi-
bilities, and think of nothing but hus-
band hunting. We never can know how
many real heroines are behind this wall
of restriction, till what is called "ad-
verse; fate sets them free to stand upon
their own feet, and to use their own
hands, and know their own powers,
which had been dwarfed almost to eXs
tinction by inactiOn.

RIVER NEws.-The cold weather Of
Yesterday and night before last has
again about closed navigation. The
steamboats, have gone into winter quar-
tiers. The Carrie Brooks is lying near
the boatyard. The Granite State found
a harbor at Bellaire. The Shamrock
is living at the wharf below Monroe
street. The Argosy has laid up at
Pittsburgh and the Major Anderson at
Cincinnati.
By dispatch from Pittsburgh we
learn that the river closed at Browns
Island and Liverpool Oh Monday night.
Business on the wharf was very dull,
the cold weather and the heavy ice
completely shutting down on all trade
by river. There must be very mate,
rial modification in the temperature and
good deal more water than at present
before matters on the levee will resume
their old time lveliness.
