SAM CLARKE CAVETH,

A gentleman called upon our incor-
ruptible contemporary of the Salem
Statesman the other day, and Clarke, as
usual, began his all-absorbing theme
''AIrs. Duniway." ''Why, sir" said he,
lowering his voice to distinct whisper,
'T-I-don't see why Mrs. Duniway
should be down on me! I-I-pm a
woman suffragist."
Well, then, brother Samuel, if you're
one of our co-wOrkers, prove yourself
worthy Of your high position. Go right
speedily and sign that fifteen hundred
dollar note and make it legal, that the
State may thereby be secured from loss.
We have no feeling of animosity to-
ward you, Samuel. We don't even
cherish wrath about the lies you print
about us. They evidently amuse yO.t,
and as they don't hurt us, pray continue
them and be happy.
But as law-abiding, tax-paying citi-
zen of Oregon, we cannot prove recreant
TO the best interests of the State finances
not even to conciliate ''woman suf-
fragist," who privately and in whisper
acknowledges himself as such, and vet
lacks the marrow in his spinal column
necessary to publicly proclaim his prin-
ciples.
We have an eye upon that note, Sam
uel. That's all.

A. B. MEAOHAM.

While We were absent a short time
since on a visit to the east side towns a
letter appeared in our columns over the
signature of "a Subscriber" which,
though excellent in many respects, con-
tains a fling at the gentleman whose
name heads this article, which should
not have found the light had we been
able to be at our post. 1t is impossible
for an editor who is compelled to be
absent from home, earning money opay
publishing expenses, TO be able to see
everything that is sent to the paper for
publication, and we think the fact that
in ten months time this has proved the
second article for which we have felt
any reason to make apology, is evidence
that our office management is far be-
yond the average in judgment.
We thought when we saw the fling at
A. b. Meacham, which is above alluded
to, that it was too small to notice, and
would probably think so still were it not
that We recently saw in the Albany
Democrat n statement to the effect that
''Mrs. Duniway accuses \. B. Meacham
of offering I. b. Odeneal $1,000. as a
6ri6e," and so on.
Now, be it known to you, brother
Brown, that we accuse A. B. Meacham
of no such thing. And we think YOUR
effort to drag us personally into every
infinitessimal bit of gossip with which
anonymous correspondents may seek to
fill the NEW NORTHWEST while we are
absent, shows that you are badly off for
capital. We have never had but one
opinion about the removal of Superin-
tendent A. B. Meacham, and that loas
and Is that the corrupt Administration
at Washington found him incorruptible
and had no further use for him. Brother
Brown, will you be as eager to correct a
false report that, unknown to us, ap-
peared in our columns, as you have been
willing to give it credence, and will you
now make the 0meade hOnord5Ie9

unless you seize upon the last chance
for salvation. 1t is this: Give to wom-
en- the pOICer necessary to crush this
giant evil, and you will no longer blush
at the sight of drunken brothers. hus-
bands and fathers reeling homeward
from their orgies to pOllute the family
circle. And yet, gentlemen, YOU set
your faces against this deT1lier resort.
and seorn 20 acknowledge that women
can help"
Mr.. Curtis-'I call the lady to order.
She is not discussing the question be-
fore the house."
Mrs. Duniway-'I was speaking, sir,
by courtesy of the Chair. You have
been wasting precious time and breath
to-day, and now / would like to have a
chance. However, l will submit.n
loud cries of go on! Good! etc. 7
Mrs. d., turning to Mr.. Curtis), al hope
YOU are satisfied with that, sir. But I
will detain the house no longer.u
Mr.. StitZel moved to refer the whole
matter TO committee with instructions
to report by bill tomorrow morning at
/ 10 o'clock.
Mr.. Parrish objected Had worked
himself up into a divine fever, and
wanted TO speak about five minutes. He
disliked to be chOked off, but would sor-
rowfully yield.
The motion prevailed.
Adjourned, with prayer by Rev. Mr..
/ Small, to meet tomorrow morning at 8
o'clock.

moral character, intelligence, philan-
thropy and stamina arc with us. Every
woman who takes fearless, consistent
stand in this great work of womankind's
amancination becomes in herself tower
of strength, which all the hosts of rum
shall battle against in vain. Could ev-
ery earnest, bright-eyed, whole-souled,
warm-hearted woman whom the NEW
NORTHWEST approaches to-day with
greeting but have witnessed the proud
triumph of the cause of womanhood,
when the strong fight was made over
the voting resolutions, elsewhere given
in the report; women of brave minds
and honest impulses, whose every heart
throb pulsates in grand unison with the
great arteries of Temperance women,
too, whose lives are a daily sacrifice to
the desolating Moloch of Aleohol-ah,
we know that with one accord they
would all rise up, and besieging the cit
adels of government, join our earnest
voice in firm demand for the privilege
to use their right TO besiege the battle
ments of intemperance with ballots.
This, and this only, is the effective mode
of operations; and did we believe, as
Carrie Young preteIlds, that the votes OF
women are not needed in this necessary
reform, we should be consistent and &C
home and stay there, and leave the mer
to manage-never Ourself mounting the
public rostrum more. But We know
that with woman's pOlOer will com,
mans success. And knowing this, oh
men and brethren, we shall work ,0it'
you and for you in the cause of temper
anee, till every rum-hole shall be abol
ished in all our broad domain.
The new Northwest. [volume] (Portland, Or.) 1871-1887, 1872-03-01
SOMETHING SENSIBLE.

As an amend for many of the foolish
attempts to cast squibs at us from Sam
Clarke's Garrison, we notice n very just
criticism upon pair of ear rings. You
are right, brother; they are out of place,
and are only worn because of the donor.
When we are home again, if the pre-
eious little pair of hands that lovingly
placed them in "mother's" ears are will
ing TO remove them, they shall be worn
no longer.
We believe the time will come when
all women will eschew useless gew-
gaws. And while we think it is every
wOman's duty to make her person as
pleasing as possible, We deprecate the
use Of trinkets that have no utility
Thanks.
The new Northwest. [volume] (Portland, Or.) 1871-1887, 1872-03-01
A SUGGESTION.

We learn from reliable source that
between six and seven hundred Demo-
Gratis and Republicans in this county,
disgusted with the trickery that has
prevailed in the matter of nominations
the last two or three elections, have re-
solved to stay out of the primaries this
year. This action will leave them free
to vote as they please afterwards If
the same kind of nominations be made
this year as last it is more than likely
that taxpayers ticket will be in the
field. The suggestion is therefore made
to the political conventions that it is to
their interests to bring forward respect
able citizens for office. If they do not
the people will eschew them and their
works. They want no more rings.

EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.

DEAR NEW NORTHWEST:
Large audience and enthusiastic meet
ing here on Monday evening, the 26th.
Cause triumphantly marching on. A
few sore-head Republicans have become
alarmed because of our exposition of the
Vancouver life of the "iSilent Man of
Destiny" But they make no effort to
disprove the facts.
All, gentlemen, if we were to-day dis
posed to use the balance of power which
Temperance and Woman Suffrage stand
ready to place in the political field, we
could blow both existing parties in Ore
gon higher than a kite. But don't be
frightened, gentlemen; we beg you to be
courageous and cool. All we ask is that
both parties shall endorse Woman Suf-
frage and Temperance; that each party
shall place candidates in the field who
shall be pledged to this great united
principle; that both shall nominate
pure men for President, and we shall
not try to defeat either. But we warn
you, gentlemen, that the people are
ready for a third party; that they are
determined to have effective Temper
ance reform; that they demand pure
rulers; that from this day henceforth
they will not be content to be governed
by rakes and roUes. So, gray-haired
men of Albany, who take such umbrage
at the truth about your "silent" pet, be
warned in time, we pray you. Defeat
not your own party principles by up
holding for another moment a leader by
the side of whose social life the Wood
hulps alleged impurity shines out as a
pellucid light. Don't strain at gnats
and gulp down camels. You have many
men who are ready for the Presidential
Chair, who are good men and true. Trot
them out if you want them supported
but grant us no more Grants, we pray
you.

SHAMEFUL.

The OregORidR and Herald are laud-
ing the respectable saloon keepers of
Portland! Aren't these pretty journals
of reform? The OregOHian laws all the
blame of the vice and drunkenness
which prevail on the "disreputable
women who vend liquor. That's just
like man. Put the blame on woman
if possible. The Herald editor says that
in his observations, which he wishes us
to know are very extended, he has
never known such orderly saloons as
there are in Portland. OF course, COM
ing from a man who, according to his
own words, is such frequent visitor of
saloons, this testimony is incOntrOvert-
able-if true. If the saloons in Portland
are the most orderly in this country,
then God pity these United States!
But the most surprising part of the
Herald editor's testimony is that where
in he speaks of the prominent business
men of Portland frequenting these ere
spectacle" saloons for '1uneheon.u Are
there no eating houses in Portland be-
sides these sinks of hell? All, it is not
so much the luncheon as the whisky,
we fear, that attracts them to the dog
geries.
This tulsome laudation is given be-
cause of the power the saloons will ex-
ert in the coming election, and the pa
pers mentioned, representing their re-
speetive parties, pander to their vile in
iuenee.
o, shame that politics are thus cor.
rupt!
