The next speaker was the Rev. STANLEY BARON

AN IRISH DELEGATE.
The Rev. L. r. BERKLEY, OF Ireland, was the next
speaker. He said that he had arrived In this coun.

said, be taken up In lump; but they
had to be taken up one by one. They woud have
to be dealt with individuals, and each individual
should be filed with the determination to do Gods
work. and extend to the emigrant helping hand
as Christian and infuse into his heart the love Of
the Lord.
ADDRESS BY THE DEAN OF CANTERBURY.
The Very Reverend the Dean OF Canterbury was
next introduced. He said that he had just come
from the meeting at the Academy OF Music and at

very hard to foreteIl which Is which In the district.
FIFTH SENATORIAL DISTRICT.
This district Is very close one at times, and, as
general rule, each party has to be careful In the
selection OF its men Tor bad man Is almost GER

the Ring times, but the district In those days
really never got credited for all its votes cast one

THE PROGRAMME FOR TO-DAY.

Last night the Evangelical Alliance received
demonstration of interest and good will on the part
OF the people Of this city, that delegates familiar
with nearly all past conferences were constrained
to say publicly, had never been equalied in any city
where the Conference had yet been held. At the
Academy Of Music and Steinway Hall it was
literally true that thousands were unable
to obtain admission, and 1t was remarked
by the managers that il Cooper Insti
tute had been opened also, that too, would
have been filed to overnowing. The speeches at
both meetings received their inspiration from this
cheering and exciting spectacle, and were directed
not only to strnging OF sentences Of fjubation at
such result but to direct personal appeals to the
vast audiences to consecrate themselves anew to
the work OF Christ, and solemn invitations to those
who were not yet Christians to yield their hearts
to God on so august an occasion.

were women as well as men in this
country; and third, that the way to Sc
cure good government in this country
was by voting.

tiOns.

Self-EEident Truth.

We are pleased to see the following
from a late issue of the Oregon Bulletin.
Verify, the leaven of justice is permeat-
ing the public press to some purpose.
The Bulletin but reiterates our own
declarations. But hear:
With what show of justice or fairness
can the authorities indict, arrest, and
hold in custody Woodruff and Clafiin,
for having sent their Weekly through
the mails, and at the same time permit
TO freely circulate broadcast over the
land the abominable, grossly obscene,
and morally revolving pictorials, pub
lished in New York and Boston every
week, without stop or hindrance? The
WCCkly has To be read before the ohiec-
tiOnable contents can be discovered, and
children and ladies or others in passing
stands or windows where it might be
exposed for sale, would never be shocked
or insulted or corrupted by the sight of
ii. Only those who read il would be af-
fected by its obscenity of language or its
damnable immortality. But children
and youths, young ladies and matrons,
and all the passers on the streets, are
likely to have their glance arrested by
the glaring cOnspicuity purpOsely given
by some dealers and hawkers to the
atrociously obscene pictorials to which
we alluie, and while no lady or modest
person can look upon the revolving dis
play Extensively thrust before them
without a blush of very shame, younger
ones are liable to be more or less cor
rupted thereby. 1t is this class Of Oh
scene publications. which ought 10 be
prohibited from the mails more than
W0odhuH & Cl0fd's Weekly, and until
the authorities who have stopped the
latter and imprisoned the publishers
deal out even-handed justice TO the pub
fishers of the Days DOings, the Police
G0-cuc, and kindred pictorials, they
will in so far fail in their faithful per-
formance of duty. Deal with all trans
gressors alike, and prohibit all obscene
and grossly scandalous publications
from the mails-thats the way to DO it.

Clouds.

One of the saddest thoughts that come
to us in life is the thought that in this
bright, beautiful, joy-giving world Of
ours, there are so many shadowed lives.
If suffering came only with crime,
even then we might drop a tear over
him whose errors brought their own
recompense. But it is not so, alasi
Then we should not have to record that
the noblest and most gifted are often
among those who may count their fate
among Swallowed lives.
With one it is the shadow Of grave,
long, deep and narrow, which falls over
q life, shutting out the gladness OF the
sunshine, blighting the tender blossoms
of hope.
With another, it is the wreck of
great ambition. He has built his ship,
and launched it on the sea Of life,
freighted with the richest jewels of his
strength, his manhood. Behold, it comes
hack TO him beaten, battered, torn In
some horrible tempest.
With some others, disease throws its
terrible shadow over the portals, and
shuts out the brightness and JOY of the
outside world from the sufferer within.
But this is the lightest shadow of all:
for il teaches the heart lessons of endur-
ance and faith, and through its darkness
the sufferer sees even the star of prom
ise shining with rays that tell of the
glories beyond. OF all shadowed lives.
we find it in our hearts to feel most for
those which are darkened by an un-
happy marriage.
Unhappy marriage is the quIntes-
sence Of human bondage. 1t wounds
daily our fondest and sweetest impulses,
it trities with and buries our holiest and
dearest affections, aud writes over the
tomb thereof: mo hope" 1t imbitters
the victim with the thought that lost
forever to his or her life is a glory of
great love; closed forever to him or her
the portals of happy hOme-that foun-
tain of freshness and delight, at which
the soul must needs drink and gather
strength for the heat and burden of the
outside battle.

pose oil eiiecting permanent crganiza-
ton, encouraging the formation OF aux
lllary county organizations, and gener-
aliy adopting such measures rs may he
deemed best for the purpose of aidin0
the agitation looking to secure the suf-
frage for women. The movement has
made much progress in Oregon, THROUGH
the efforts of Mrs. Duniwav. editor of
the NEW NORTHWEST, published ot
Portland. Indeed, in this matter. the
West is far in advance of the East. and
of New England, supposed to be the
cradle Of reforms. Wyoming, n western
Territory, was the first place where wom-
an suffrage was authorized by law; Utah,
another western Territory, came next:
and they are yet the only portions OF
the Republic where women enjoy the
right of the ballot Then, too, the West
has three women's papers, the New
NORTHWEST, of Portland, Oregon; the
Pioneer, of San Francisco, California;
and the Wonldn'S Exponent, Of salt
Lake City, Utah, all fiourishing, which
is more than the East can boast of.
New England is evidently falling in the
rear, and should look to it WomdH's

READ BEFORE THY STATE WOMAN sUFFRAG
ASSOCIATION BY COL c. A. REED
You ask me, friends, to lend a hand
To help the cause OF woman,
And with the wand OF poesy
To touch each heart that's human
With sorrow for the sinful one,
And pity FOR the friendless.
OH would that could bring 70 each
Joy that would be endless.
Ii laws might be in Justice made
To better their condition.
Or privilege Sle granted them
That would enhance position.
'lis moi for wives in happy homes.
With peace and comfort round them.
To lold their hands and shrink from care
Because sweet love has crowned them.
Il is not for the happy ones
That we would ask more blessing.
Nor for the gifted and the strong,
God'> highest rights possessing:
lis that the weak be lifted up.
The ignsrant enlightened,
And every vantage given them
That their sad lives be frightened.
That this may be we are most sure
That all true hearts are willing:
We only difler in the way
To gain our hearts fulfilling.
The adversaries Of our cause
Mistake our aim full often,
And think our course may harden lives
Which We will strive 10 soften.
They fear that woman viii forget,
When fame or glory calls her
The truest beauty of her sex,
The patient love that thralls her:
They say she will neglect her home
To meet the Legislature,
But while she can a proxy find
think she'll shear to Nature"
Now friends, hope you will mol think
slight your invitation,
Or that in justice I shall fail
To meet the situation;
IN send proxy, stay az home,
And lose the honors, maybe.
For the best Of reasons have,
cannot leave my baby.
