H0W THE WIND BLEW ON THE NORTH SIDE,

yesterday afternoon. tho vicinity Of Clybourn
and North avenues WAS visited during tho storm
by small tornado. The severe wind first fell
upon brick-ki1n on Reoso street, the roof Of
which it carried across a lot. 1t then
passed on to IS feet Of sidewalk at
tho corner Of Clybourn aud North avo-

The Shame Of St. Louis.

The following from the WomdR'S
Journal in reference to the st. Louis
social evil ordinance, will be of interest
to our readers. The Rev. Mr.. Eliot al
luded to is father to the Rev. T. L. Eliot,
of this city. Both father and son are
famous for good words and works.
The present authorities of this city
are striving to convince the American
public that here in st. Louis we have
discovered the panacea for all the ills
growing out Of prostitution, and that
our remedy for it should be universally
adopted. In this they had so far pro-
gressed without serious opposition that
in several of our large cities the question
was being freely and favorably discussed
with the view of adopting a similar sys-
tenn.
The subject was one which our wom-
en- here felt they could not well touch
in the present state of public opinion,
without iniuring themselves and with
out a prospect of doing any good. Yet,
in defiance of all consequences, there
were found some noble women like the
wives of the Rev. DR.. 7. NJ. Post, of the
Presbyterian Church, and the Rev. DIR.
VIM. q. Eliot, of the Unitarian Church,
who came forward and entered their
solemn protest against the damnable
outrage being perpetrated against
morality and against their defenseless
sex in the name of morality.
Their appeal and protest went un-
needed and only subjected them to the
ridieule and vulgar jokes of those who
sustain the establishment Of licensed
prostitution.
At last that lion-hearted man, who
has done so much good in our city, the
Rev. VIM. G.. Eliot, many years ago a
resident of your city, took up this mat
ter, and in his own name is pushing the
question to solution in our courts. IL
required that just such a spotless, pure
man should espOuse the cause, and even
then his best friends feared that he was
warning upon such n dangerous class
that evil might come to him from false
swearing or calumny of some kind. In
ueedi L have thought that all the an
noyance to that grand man who has
done so much in the cause of humanity.
Henry Ward Beecher, came from those
who wished to destroy his power to be
useful to the cause of woman.
We trust that you will continue 10
\ give earnest battle to this iniquity until
the last vestige OF it is wiped out OF
every city in America.
We are well aware of the great injury
/ it is doing st. Louis as a city. We
know that the Christian men aud WON.
en- of the land, mothers and fathers, dc
not wish to emigrate to a city which ad.
vertises itself to the world as legalizinE
this sinful occupation. No one wishe:
to bring up his children in city wher'
such is the standard of morality.
And it is most disgusting to our peo'
pie here to see the public authorities g

A New Method

A full quarter Of q century has elapsed
since the discussion for Woman's
Rights began. During that time we
have held meetings and Conventions
innumerable. Wehave appealed to the
pulpit and to the press. We have over
and over petltiOned the Legislature of
nearly every State. We have urged our
claim in every Convention for the
amendment of State Constitutions
which has been held, for the last thirty
years. We have gone directly TO the
political StateConventlon ofevery party,
asking them to make the application
Of the principles of the Declaration of
Independence TO women part of their
platform.
We therefore, in this State, applied to
il in good faith three years ago, and
two years ago we got a quasi endorse
ment. We applied again last year, and
we received as full a recognition as We
could desire. But a majority of the Re
publican members of the Legislature
ignored the platform, and prominent
members of the party affirmed that
they were in no sense bound by il.
This year, at the State Convention,
our resolutions were lost in the Com
mittee on Resolutions, the vote being a
tie, eight to eight. The Chairman, Mr..
Charles Allen, giving his vote against
it. Not a man on the Committee on
Resolutions spoke in favor of the reso-
luton In Committee, or gave the least
influence TO carry 1t in the Convention.
This, too, after General Butler had
withdrawn, and when there was moth
ing to fear from q dividing influence in
the Convention, and when there was
sore need ofsome principle around which
the party could rally, both to give it
/ life and cohesion.
One 1.-THE of the influence which had
been used TO defeat Butler would have
carried the resolution with enthusiasm,
both in the Committee and in theCon-
vention. But IL failed, and with that
/ failure, went out in me the last ray of
faith or hope, that the Republican party
/ in this State will ever do anything to
establish the principle of the consent of
the governed, as applied to women.
A new party must therefore be ere
ated, every man of which shall be
ashamed TO sit at breakfast with his
wife, while she is held by statute law as
the political companion of felons and
fools, if he is not at the same time do
ing his utmost to relieve her from this
degraded and humiliating position.
What can veto to hasten the birth OF
such political party?
propose first, that in every locality
where il is possible, Woman Suffrage
Political Clubs shall be Organized
every member of which shall be pIedged
to use his best endeavor, in the caucus

Womanls Influence in the State.

1--WE need woman's moral influence
i'm government, to aid in the suppress
sion of vice and intemperanee," said
the good and reflective Bishop simpson
recently, at a Methodist Conference.
To the old workers, who have almost
grown weary In advocating the cause of
humanity by means Of woman's free
dom, it is a very encouraging fact, and
one most cheering in their labOrs, when
influential and intelligent men like Bish-
op Simpson thus follow truth and prog
ress, and fear not to tread boldly where
they lead the advance guard, untram-
meled by ignorance, prejudice, or cow
ardly conservatism, thereby giving
evidence of that superior force of char
acter which, while it adds splendor alike
10 promising youth, vigorous maturity
and the wrinkles and gray hair OF age,
leads humanity outward and upward.
This argument, since the first Organi-
cation of the movement in favor of
wOman's political emancipation, has
been one Of the most potent which its
advocates have advanced. The thought
ful, reflective mind, in which are inner
ent the first principles of common right,
readily comprehends how the legal
subordinatiOn of one sex to the other
has been the greatest bar to human i'm
prOvement, particularly when viewed in
a moral light, since it has retarded that
perfect equality and unity Of the social
conditions apd forces most In harmony
with the laws OF Divine order, which
results from more thorough culture and
deeper love of humanity.
but where prejudice, selilShness, pas
sion, eOwardiee and ignorance govern
the mind, il is impossible to comprehend
that the$e is nothing I'm the sO>ealled
woman movement calculated to arouse
the hostility of the good, the wise and
the just, and that on the contrary the
political freedom of women is required
tooOunteraet present and past legislative
wrongs and evils, which only the infiu-
ence Of that dual element, as necessary
in the State as the household, can COM
pass. Therefore the doubling Thomas
of society, the worshiper of the modern
Diana of the Ephesians who fears his
occupation will be gone when equal JUS
tice reigns, and the satellite of the din
ner pot vino views this momentous
question through green spectacles of
domestic discOmfOrt-as buttonless
shirts, undarned hose and illy prepared
meals-must he suffered to go his mis-
taken way until the everlasting logic of
human events eonvinceS him of his eT-
rors, while the progressive Christian who
like Bishop Simpson, wOrships Jehovah
in the precepts and example of words aud
deeds of Justice and mercy, instead of
fasting and stripes, incense and sacrifice,
which benefit neither himself nor hu-
manity, recognizes the fact that the
more woman is enlightened by educa-
tiOn and elevated by the exercise of in
dividual right, the more she will excel
In virtue and moral force; for forgetful-
ness of duty is but the result of moral,
spiritual and physical dependence. =

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN THE ORANGES.
Zone of the most interesting features of
the Oranges of the Patrons of Hus-
bandry, the new Order founded by the
Western farmers to oppose the eneroach-
ments of railroad monopoly, saws
Coleman's Rural World, ais that not a
single one can be organized without the
eompaniOnship of the ladies. No char
ter will be issued to organize a Grange,
even If hundred of the best farmers
want it and ask for it, unless a certain
number of ladies join. Their assistance
and influence are needed. Their COM
panionship will have a refining and
elevating effect upon the sterner sex.
They are equally interested with their
husbands, brothers and sons in the good
that can be accomplished. What aids
in giving relief to the farmer, will give
relief to his wife or daughters. They
give tone and elevation to the proceed
ings of the Oranges. They furnish a
social feature to the Oranges which will
give permanency and ability to them.
Each Grange meeting will be a social
festival, a neighborhoOd visit. By all
means, let every Grange encourage the
attendance of the ladies. Let there be
as many lady members as male mem
bers. 1t will increase the interest in
them, ahd help to elevate our noble pro
fession to that high standard we desire
to reach. With woman,s influence
with us, we shall have no such word a,
fail. Her influence Is for good. and w.
ale glad to know she will exert IL i'm he
