LECTURE ON POLITICS.

Our meeting in the Court House on
Tuesday evening was very largerly at
tended. When we consider the short
ness of the notice and the fact that but
one daily paper in the city dared to an
nounce it, and that many of the posters
were torn down as fast as they could be
put up, it was both gratifying and sur
prising to us to meet such large
orderly and intelligent crowd. We had
specially invited the Delegates to the
Republican State Convention to appear
and hear of something to their political
advantage, but they were afraid to show
their faces; at least the packed portion
of the delegation preferred to give the
meeting as wide berth as possible. As
the Oregonidn has, in the main, given &
very truthful and much fairer report ot
the lecture than we expected, and as SC
much of our space is devoted to meeting;
elsewhere this week, we omit further
mention of the occasion at this time
other than to say that it was much
greater public success than We had an
ticipated.

FROST BITTEN.

The following pathetic notice appeared
in the local columns of the Oregonidl
recently. Don't some of the Oregon
mans rights editors wish they had
never "puffed" ]. b. Frost?
Last year, some time, Mrs. J. B. Frost,
authOress of n "History of the Rebel
lion"-a widow (supposedD of ''fair, fat
and forty'i-made her appearance in our
enterprising little town, and at once set
about the enterprise of selling her book
and getting herself into notoriety. How
well she succeeded in the first branch
OF her undertaking we have no means of
knowing; but she did become somewhat
noted for cheek and eecentrics of one
sort or another. The fair Frost, how
ever, melted away from view after
awhile, and went to Victoria, where she
delighted the Johnny Bulls with predic-
tions of ssThe downfall of the United
States" Having got into high favor, in
this way, she waltzed into the shop
keepers to the tune of expensive outfits,
and then plunged all her creditors into
grief by such a sudden taking off of her
self as afforded them no opportunity to
Interview her. 1t is said she went
TO see a sick son at San Francisco. A
contemporary says: 'fHer agent, Mr.
Nockinr. who passed for her uncle,
purchased city residence fer $1,000 and
a farm for SIS, 000-paying small sum
on each-and left for Puget Sound"

OUR PROPHECY FULFILLED.

10. Wilson is nominated. Wonder if
the people won't think we are some
thing of a prophet? For three months
we have been telling everywhere that
man-made politics were all manufac-
tured in private caucuses by political
wire-pullers; that half dozen political
tricksters had cut and dried the proceed
ings of both the coming State Conven-
tions; that the half dozen rulers of both
parties had combined to choose Wilson
and Nesmith; that man-made politics
no longer contained the elements of i'll
dividual freedom; that men would be
driven to the polls and voted just like
sheep; that American freedom as COM
pretended by One-sexed, One-sided
parties, whether Republican or Demo
cratic, was nothing but a farce, and
many other things equally true, which
we have not space to enumerate. The
Democratic Convention is to meet at
The Dalles on the 10th proximO. Oh
course, just like this one, it will be h0r-
monious, because it will be managed by
the same wire-pullers who Onminated
the Republican candidate.

ALBANY CORRESPONDENCE.

EDITOR NEW NORTHWEST:
On Monday evening of this week our
citizens were highly delighted with an
exceedingly interesting musical and or
atorial entertainment at the NJ. E.
church, given under the auspices and
by the leading members of the Sabbath
School connected with that church.
Professor Rogers, of Salem, delivered a
very able address. Our young folks are
taking more interest in music than
heretofore, Oecasioned in some measure
perhaps by the liberal proposition of
some four or five persons constituting
the leading musical talent of our city,
each of whom propose to give twelve
lessons gratis for the benefit of the ris-
ing generation. The kindness of these
noble gentlemen will, we trust, be high
ly appreciated by the youthful recip-
tents.
Last night Mrs Carrie f. Young de
livered one of the ablest and most inter-
esting temperance addresses we have
ever heard in this city. Her subject
was the Temperance Law Of Michigan,
which she discussed more intelligently
and more truthfully than most lecturers
are wont to treat their subjects, and to
the entire satisfaction of her large and
appreciative audience, fairly demon
strating the fact that women land her
self as a representative of the seX) are
not inferior either in intelligence or in
tellectual accomplishments to the great,
the mighty lords of creation themselves.
She said that laws must be enacted by
our Legislature that would require the
vender of intoxicating liquors to give
heavy bond and hold him personally re-
sponsible for any and all damages that
might occur to life or property, with
costs, where it could be satisfactorily
proven that the cause of the damage
originated from the effect of liquors sold
or given by him or his employees.
Now, this is all good-every true tenn
perance man and woman will endorse it
with unfeigned pleasure-but how are

JOURNALISTIC DIGNITY.

We've struck the right chord at last
Many and shocking have been the sour
rilous filings at womanhood in the col
umns of the mans rights Journals dur
ing the past year. We warned these ed
itors some weeks since that when we
could possibly bring ourself thus low
for a season, we should give them a dose
of their own political panaeea and make
them make wry faces. We had nerved
ourself for the attack for months, and
when at last, with eyes closed and
sleeves rolled up, we gathered all our
strength and hurled their own weapons
back at them, they were seized with
spasms of journalistic dignity! How
do you like your own prescriptions, gen.
tlemen? If these doses are "batches OF
nastinessr when thrust down yo'a
throats, what do you think they must
be when you administer them to u.s.
We are glad to see you angry. A httlt
virtuous indignation will, we hope
cause q reaction that will make you re-
alize how awfully severe, offensive anc
''nasty" your attacks upon wOmanhooo
really are. We scarcely ever take up
mans journal in which there is moi
some low, disreputable fling at womer
leaders. Don't compel us to repeat tho
dose, brethren. 1t is not a pleasant tasl
to tear the beam from your eyes thai
you may thus see clearly TO pick the
mote from ours. Mend your ways, We

THE REPUBLICAN, PLATFORM AS
A WOMAN SEES IT.

We to-day publish the resolutions
adopted by the Republican State Con-
vention, to which we invite careful,
candid and conscientious investigation.
OF course there is the usual amount of
badgering and berating of the opposite
party-this is to be expected-but upon
the whole the Platform is much better
than we anticipated. We especially fa-
vor the demand for repeal of the So
called litigant law, the denunciation of
the swamp land acts of our last Legisla-
ture, the reckless and illegal admins
tration of State finances, and the pledge
of the party to support a Government
measure for building a railroad from
Portland to Salt Lake and from Jackson
county to Humboldt. We also emphat-
ically indorse the popular education
plank, which we hope will become en-
grated in due time upon the under
standing of every voter in America. The
Temperance resolution is particularly
gratifying, and we hereby pledge to it
our hearty support. We do not affirm,
as does the 14th resolution, that "the
perpetuation of the Republican party is
the only sure preservation" and so
forth. We think Woman Suffrage
party would do much better to preserve
peace. But upon looking over the Plat
form a second time, we discover that
the 4th plank, and the most conspicuous
one in it, unqualifiedly indorses every
thing that the women of America are
contending for. Friends, read that reso-
luton again. Iire Ia Republique.

BUENA VISTA.

Leaving Corvallis, with its cheerful
inhabitants, beautiful scenery, genial
associations and happy homes, We took
the steamer for Buena Vista, where we
were advertised to speak on the evening
of the Sth. The boat landed with some
difficulty at the wharf An obligine
young man, connected with the Mon
mouth Messenger, kindly assisted us
through the mud and rain up the hill to
the house of friend. The day and
evening were particularly stormy, and
as there are no sidewalks proper in this
new but thriving town, pedestrians
were compelled TO seek six inch boards
in the evening darkness, guided by Lam
terms, which generally rendered excel
lent service.
For four consecutive evenings the
good inhabitants flocked out to hear us,
filling the school house with men and
women and children and babies, and we
had a glorious revival. The lectures
were upon Politics, Social Life, Bible
topics and Temperance, and as in other
places, each evening brought out a
larger house than its immediate prede-
cessor. We found several gentlemen
ready and willing to speak in favor Of
the new gospel of good will to men and
women, and two brave opponents; but
their opposition consisted chiefly in
their bravery, as they made no points
except such as had been previously dis
posed Of One very young man, who
sells tape and needles for a livelihood,
was opposed to the ballot in the hands
of women because they are physically
unable to vote. He was afraid they
would neglect their babies if they had
political rights. He also feared that il
men and women were on board q sink
ing ship, and the women were voters,
the men would all get in the life boats
and leave the women to perish. His
mother was a woman, enthusiastic
cheering and great surprised, and he had
always obeyed all her injunctions but
one; she says he must not get married
before he is twenty-five, but he's deter
mined to marry right off, if he can gel
some girl to have him. Took his seat
amid great applause.
Replied that we had wondered why
the young man was taking such lively
interest in maternal duties till he eX-
planned that he meant to commit mat.
rimony. [Laughter.l That it wa:
laughable to see a young, strong, able
bodied man, who ought to be telling for
ests, digging bitches and otherwise earn
ing bread in the sweat of his face, en-
gagged in selling tape and ribbons for ;
living, while he patrOnizingly turns tC
women at the wash-tub and assures
them that they are physically unable tC

iting piece of paper in box

riment.
The citizens of Buena Vista are re
markable for intelligence and public
spirit. The women are mostly Woman
Sufragists, but we did not see but tina
they attended as well or better to famil!
= and household duties than scores o
anti-suffragists whom we have met
The town is handsomely located on
high, rolling plateau, and when side
walks are made, where there now
nothing to protect the feet from twelve
inch mud, it will be n very pleasan
place to hold protraeted meetings. We'r
going to Buena Vista again.

RBTRIBUTIOK HATH 0'ERTAKEE
HIM

The puny creature who for several
seasons has presided as an irrascible i'm
beetle of the first magnitude over the
columns of the Oregon Statesman has
succumbed to the law of retribution.
No more are his 'leading articles" to
appear in his daily; no more are his IL
rades upon "AIrs. Duniway' to meet
the eyes Of an eXasperated public; no
more are second hand falsehoods to be
peddled through his weakly; and no
more will he get hush money from the
leading State officials. Nobody weeps
over his journalistic demise, but all in
telligent men and women of Salem are
jubilant.
We have received a remarkably racy
and well written letter for publication,
addressed to this canine effete by w. II.
CLANCY, which we should gladly give
our readers were the subject yet alive;
but as it is always in bad taste to bella
Dor the dead bodies of decapitated ours,
we refrain from printing it, Rest and
peace be unto thy poor carcass, Samuel.
But stay, did you sign that note before
your journalistic spirit took its fight ?

ADMINISTERED TO THE WRONG
PATIENT,

By mistake our typos gave the catnip
tea and paregoric which we had pre-
scribed for the Journal to his milder-
hammered neighbor of the Guard.
Hence, instead of finding him of the
Journal easy and serene this week, alas!
alasl he's worse than ever! Listen,
friends and brethren, and join hands
with us and wall:
Mrs. Duniway does not care 10 refer to the
very gross and uncalled-fOr insult which she
gave to every woman in Oregon who does not
believe just as she does, i'm her paper OF three
weeks ago. No person has ever attempted so
wantonly 10 Insult the women OF Oregon as
Mrs. D.. when she branded all who do not agree
exactly with her as "billSs- and Cheats
In our paper of four weeks ago-which
it rejoiceth us to know is read and stud
led with much interest by our irrascible
colleague-in noticing the fact that the
.StdtesmdR's pet, J. b. Frost, had been
turned upon by that far-seeing lumin-
airy and styled "bilk" and "cheat," +"
we said, ave knew il all time. No
woman can take issue against the ballot
for her sex in this age of enlightenment
unless she is a blk and a cheat" The
Eugene Journal has been in spasms ever
since. Finding it impossible to gain
any headway for mans rights among
his readers by argument, he seizes upon
the above declaration and spits it forth
from week to week, saying, "There, Mrs.
Duniway insults the womenl Glory
hallelujahw w Then the paroxysm OF
rage overcomes his transports of joy
and he belches forth anathemas. Belch
away, brother; the effort will relieve
you vastly.
Now for a little sense and seriousness.
Any woman who mounts the public
rostrum to proclaim the dogma Of mans
supremacy is blk and cheat unto
herself. She cannot deceive the people,
for they know that her precepts and
practice are so much at variance with
each other that men and women OF
brains and honesty but pity her effete
attempts to practice one thing and
preach another. The mans rights press
may laud such efforts as they like
we're proud to see our brethren happy
but every woman who has yet taken
this course has run her race in n very
short time-either coming over to her
friends, the Woman Suffragists, or prov
ing herself utterly unworthy Of public
confidence by acts of dishonesty and in
discretion.

CAPT. ORANDALL.

This well known journalist has pur-
chased the Oregon Statesman and will
hereafter control its columns. We con-
gratulate the citizens of Salem upon the
change. In commenting upon the fact
of his removal from the editorial frater-
nifty of Portland, the Oregonian fifty
says:
In parting with one who has been our con-
slant associate in daily editorial labor for more
than six years, we cannot withhold a tribute to
his merits as "a journalist and his qualities a
friend. Capt. Crandall possesses capacity as n
journalist in a remarkable degree. His pen Is
always ready his judgment IS sound and dis
cerning, and he is equally at home in writing
leading articles, reporting local news, or per-
forming any other Of the multiiarious duties
that belong TO general editorial work In an
eminent degree he possesses what may be called
"newspaper sense, p and among newspaper men
he has long been recognized as one OF the most
accomplished journalists in oregon.
Under his management the statesman" will
certainly take new position among the jour
mails of the state. He has ability TO make u a
useful and influential paper, and we trust that
the efforts he may put forth viii be appreciated
and rewarded. While, therefore, we part with
regret with one who has 50 long been our asSO-
ciaie. we have satisfaction in knowing that his
Journalistic services do not cease, but are only
transferred 20 another neld-
Salem will hereafter have, what it has
not had for some time, a good, sound,
reliable, thorough-going, live newspa-

MRS. MILLER'S LECTURE.

We had the pleasure of hearing Mrs
AIiller's effort upon "Man" the other
evening, and take pride in pronouncing
it good. 1t was throughout a most able
and convincing argument in favor of
woman's inalienable right to life, lib
erty and the pursuit of happiness. Her
keen appreciation Of poetry, wit and
sarcasm shines forth among her SEN
tences like pearls among flowers. She
builds up her beautiful structure of HUI
man Rights and then stands off and
throws pebbles at it, just to show what
n solid building she has chosen to erect
and how futile are the efforts of men
and women to shake ii from its strong
foundations. Then, too, she hatters
weall-minded men, who have so much
more cash than brains that they are
able TO pay for their intellectual treats
while they cannot possibly comprehend
them. Such men swell her audience;
and make her business profitable, Will,
wise and prudent Woman Suffragists
who would 90 out anyhow to hear her
are strengthened in their faith by he
beautiful ideals Of motherhood. 1t il
nothing to Us just now why she faile,
to show how motherhood could become
better without a corresponding improve
ment in fatherhOOd. That would hav,
frightened the weak-minded men befor,
mentioned, and the newspapers would
have either fought or ignored her, which
we know they viii not DO till she come:
out strong for Woman Suffrage, without
the feints at demolishing her own argu-
ment which were so amusing to heI
progressive listeners.
Mrs. Miller cannot forget that to
Woman Suffrage she owes the possibil-
ity for a deserted wife to rise from deg
relation and poverty and shine forth in
the queenly dignity of her own intel
lect. She does not forget that when
the whole literary world was ablaze
with the praises of her apostate anti
suffrage husband, IVOmon Suffrage fear
lessly threw down the gauntlet in be-
half of an oppressed, down-trodder
mother, and holding aloft her virtues
and ability, showed to the world tn,
keen injustice Of consigning her to tn,
ignominy Of Zantippe, the misrepre
sentations Of a Lady Byron, or to th,
solitude and loneliness Of the deserted
wife Of Milton, Bulwer or Dickens.
We hope she will repeat her lectur,
everywhere.
