SAMUEL DODGETH.

We know that she has openly pro-
fessed that her advantage consisted in

obliged to treat her with courtesy she is
at liberty to assail them and they dare
not resent it. She has evidently acted

We know that you know that "Nrs.

thing. We hare said, and repeat it,
that gentlemen have always treated us
with respect; therefore we proudly refute
the SANDER that is sometimes cast at
them by the opposition, who say that
men will not respect women who are
politicians. But that our advantage
consisted in the fact that men would be
obliged to treat us with courtesy on
account of our sex, and that they dare
not resent it when we assail them, we
not only never did say, but now most
emphatically deny. We propose to deal
with intelligence when we can find it;
with inl5eciLity in yoUr case, and with
sex nowhere. We ask equal rights, and
those only. When n man is in such

Woman Suffrage in Congress.

Gen. Butler has introduced in the
House of Representatives bill confer
ring suffrage upon women. This is af-
ter his true style of dealing, and logi-
cally consistent with the views he an
nouneed in the last gubernatOrial can
vass in this State, that under the
amended constitution, woman already
possesses the right to vote. 1t seems
that he has since become convinced that
legislation Is still necessary to perfect
their claim, and hence this proposed
measure in Congress. The women lead
ers i'm this suffrage movement ask for
the ballot as a right, on the ground that
those who obey the laws should have 4
voice in making them; for the further
reason that the mental and moral quail
ties i'm which women differ from men
are imperatiyely needed in government;
because the equal cooperation of men
and women is alike essential to happy
home, a reformed society, a Christian
church, and a republican State; and be-
cause woman suffrage, as it implies
equality in the home, means also greater
purity, greater constancy and greater
permanence in marriage. These are, all
of them, good and sufficient reasons for
abolishing at once, through Congress,
political distinction on account of sex.
We were glad to notice that journal
like the New York Times addressed it.

needed social and political reform with

liberal profession on woman suffrage,
only to show people how easy it is TO

and investigation. What il paTticu-

not be necessary, before positive legisla-
tiOn is entered upon, to ascertain what
number of women i'm the country actu-
ally ask for the suffrage? Next, it would
be informed how "wOmen propose to
deal with the thousands of their sex who
infest great cities, and live by the most
shocking of all tradesr' IL feels certain
that respectable women would stav
away from the polls if they were to
be elbOwed by this degraded class of
their own sex; and it demands to know
what restriction it is proposed TO place
upon this danger. An educational test

virtue would be hard to find, and harder
still TO apply. Let the Times reflect A

WOUNDED POLITICIANS RAVE.

If we could afford room i'm our columns
for the various kinds of balderdash that
are going the rounds of the mans rights
press about us, we should be pleased to
dish it all up for our readers that they
might see how those politicians who

But as our object is to convey our ideas

stopping occasionally by the wayside to
clear out the floating garbage, we shall
not freight our trim and tidy little bark
with other than passing notices OF the

A QUESTION ANSWERED.

Will the NEW NORTHWEST please in
form us Just how interest is To be OBJ
tanned on the school moneys for the sup
port of education in this State if those
moneys cannot be loaned ?-MeTctIy.
Certainly those moneys should be
loaned, good Mercury. But they should
be loaned on real estate security of twice
the value of the sum loaned. And
when the State takes old pots and
pans for such security, it commits a
crime. When we pay taxes our receipt
is always given for State, county and
school tax. State money is not negOtia-
BILE as loan, and when State funds
come into the hands of State officers,
they have no authority to loan them,
with or without interest. Nobody says
that the county may not loan school
money. II is properly placed in the
hands of county officers for that pur-
pose, but it is made obligatory upon
such officers to see that proper and legal
security is given.

Woman VS.. Female.

The term ''femalen as n synonym for
woman, is q vulgarism that ought to be
scOurged out of good society. As it is
equally applicable to One-half of the
brute creation, its use instead of woman,
lady, or girl, tends to lower the dignity
and position of wOmanhOOd When il
is used without the proper substantive,
one is sometimes provoked to inquire
whether it is the female sheep, or bear,
or swine, that is intended. Those who
have true respect for woman would
never employ n term so indelicate and
Objectionable rs this, if theyrealized how
bad it was. There may be occasions
when its use is correct and unavoidable;
but to speak of schools foryOung women
as female seminaries, or female colleges,
is not only ungrammatieal, but essenti-
ally vulgar. Gail Hamilton holds up a
young lady to ridicule because she OBJ
jects to being called n female teacher.
The objection is reasonable and lust.
We do not say "male' teachers, "male''
schools, "male' colleges, ''male" clubs;
certainly the great army of patient,
hard working, underpaid women, should
have the privilege of beingcalled "wOm-
Ell" and not be set down rs females
How absurd it would seem to hear
people say, Harvard male university :?
Yet IS that any more ridiculous than to
say, Rutgers female institute, or Troy
female seminary? How often we hear
men speak of meeting females in the
street. Would they feel cOmplimented
or insulted, were the ladies to pass them
by as 'males ~
The Use of this term is another evil
dence of the low estimate placed upon
woman for these long weary ages. 1t is
the result of the harem idea which re-
garded her as mere human animal,
created for the sole purpose of pleasing
the fancies of her master. Woman IS
now struggling to free herself from de-
basing thralIdom. Yet custom is so
powerful that even her friends constant
iy, but thoughtlessly, use this epithet,
which tends to degrade her. Usually,
when one makes an effort to win the
standard of womanhoOd, there are OPP
posing bigots who quote the Bible IN It's
Condemnation. But the Bible, whose
teachings are the foundation of the
women cause, is model in respect
to the use of this Objectionable epithet;;
In no plaee do we find 'female" used
when woman or maiden, or damsel, can
he EMPLOYED. Those who desire to have
its authority on their side, should follow
its example in this respect.-Jdne. y.

Democrat accuseth us Of giving "unkind

when we rejoice that they, being but
average Oregon women, are nevertheless
such a social success in Washington as
to become justly famed for their
beauty and intellectually when placed
in contrast with the women of other To-
calities. And he further says we ''affect
to despise" sister Senator COrbett, be-
cause we are proud of the attention she,
as an Oregonian, receives from the Jen-
kins' newspapers. What our Husbands
voter has to do with the case in point,
either directly or indirectly, we cannot

REMARKABLE UNANIMITY.

The daily papers of Portland, especial
ly since the Herald has come under the
control of ''Boss Hallock," are remark
ably unanimous. The Orc FinO Clique,
the Court House Ring and Mr.. HOlla-
day seem to understand one another
very well. This explains the reason
why all the dailies are in favor of the
city vacating G street. Each one Of the
interests mentioned, it will be observed,
plays into the hand of the Others when
ever occasion or opportunity suits. In
fine, the better portions of both the Re
publican and Democratic parties in this
vicinity are without organs to represent
them. How much longer will the peo-
pie suffer corrupt cliques to feed at the
public crib?

VANCOUVER CHIT CHAT.

Going aboard the staunch and neat
little steamer at the foot of Washington
street at half past two p. NJ, ON the 18th
inst, We soon found ourself en- route for
Vancouver, whittier we had sent letters
and circulars, announcing an appoint
ment for a lecture. Arrived at the place
of destination at half past four p. NJ,
where no letters and posters had been
received, although mailed three DAYS
previously. Postoffices are so conven-
lent in this. Enterprising gentlemen,
learning of our arrival, circulated the
appointment on the day following, and
the announcement brought out large,
orderly and intelligent audience, who
treated us with that courtesy of which
we are everywhere grateful recipient
Saturday evening being excessively
stormy, and also being the time of the
Methodist quarterly meetings. regular
appointment, the audience, though
good, was not so large as that of the
previous evening, but the order and at
tention could not be surpassed. We
were in Vancouver with Laura DeForce
Gordon in July of last year, and hence,
during this visit, had ample opportunity
to note the advance of public sentiment
on the subject of equal rights, and we
may safely predict that after another
year the few that are now left in Van
couver who scoff at the movement will
want to make believe that they were
ARRAYS Woman Suffragists.
Vancouver is the most beautifully To-
Gated town on the Columbia While we
do not agree with some of its citizens
that it is destined to become the metrop
oils and leave Portland in the shade. vet
we do believe that it will become a place
of much local Importance; and we
strongly advise our citizens who wish
to purchase sites for homesteads TO note
the advantages of Vancouver for sub
urban residences before they agree to
pay ruinous prices for town lots in Port
land, that are unwisely held so high as
to seriously retard the city's best inter-
ests.

PROTECTION AND FREE TRADE.

The OregOni0n and Herald have late
ly been holding lengthy discussions over
Protective Tariff and Free Trade. As
we feel that the principle upon which
we have builded is so strong that the
influence these mans rights journals
may gain through getting their papers
mentioned by name in our columns will
not ruin our circulation, we do not pro-
pose, like them, to ignore their journal
istic existence, while fighting them over
the shoulders of other folks; so when we
talk Of them Wen talk to them, and
risk the consequences of thus advertis-
ing them into notice. Both of these
journals are right, and both are wrong.
Each views the same object from a diff
ferent standpoint, and therefore they
naturally arrive at different conclusions.
The OregOnian claims that Protective
Tariff is needed principally to raise a
revenue for the Government; and fur
ther claims that labor being higher in
new countries than in the half-starved
regions of the Old World, where cheap
commodities are manufactured, it be-
comes necessary to heavily tax foreign
articles in order to enable home manu-
facturers to carry on their business
without loss.
The Herald claims, and justly, that
all these taxes ultimately come off of
the consumers; that were universal free
trade the rule of faith and practice, the
manufacturer would not become mon
led aristocrat through the heavy taxes
borne by the people, from which they
reap no benefit; that the Oregonidn, as
a mouth-piece of the Republican party,
whose idea a few years ago was univer-
sal suffrage, from which it has unac-
countably backslided of late, yet favors
monopoly and Protective Tariff is not
more wonderful than that the Herald,
which as an exponent of the Democratic
party, an open and avOwed party of
caste, should favor Free Trade.
Both journals and both parties are
badly in the fog. Each sees half of the
true theory, and half only. Universal
suffrage and universal free trade is the
vital principle which must ultimately
prevail When the civilized world shall
be governed by the regulations of free
speech, free press, free trade and free
progression, universal peace will follow
as a natural consequence; and now
when we see our brethren wrangling
over the different halves of a great, vital
principle, we only pity both of them be-
cause their ideas of government, being
one-sexed, one-sided, and consequently
only half developed, fall so far short of
the true principle or ethics of govern
ment when considered in all its bear
ings, that we do not wonder that they
make mistakes.
