OUR SUSAN IN PRISON.

The telegraph brings US news that for
the high crime Of exercising, in open
day, and under the man-made laws of
the United States, the rights, duties and
privileges Of a citizen Of the Republic,
one Of the noblest, most intelligent and
law-abiding members of the common
wealth is cast, with convicts guilty Of
the basest crimes, into felon's cell.
Women, what do you think of this? {?
Men and brethren what say you?
Miss Anthony, like ourself, votes as a
matter Of conscience. She has the sane
tion Of the law, which your wisest ex-
Founders cannot set aside, although
they have diligently striven to do
so. What think ye all of it? Is this
a free country?
But the prison bars will not long en-
close our Susan's form. Her spirit is
now beyond and above the clanking
chains of the felon's cell. You cannot
ietter a soul like hers. We rejoice that
she knows her duty and dares to do If;
anu now lhe women Of America appeal
10 the party IN power for a prompt de-
cision in their favor They demand that
their martyr and champion be tried at
once, that the world may see of what
offence she has been guilty. They de-
mand full recognition of every inaliena-
bic right that you claim for yourselves.
Shall they have them?

evening by Professor Campbell, who
threw the blame of the levity upon the
audience and exonerated his opponent
from a suspicion of Intentional ridicuie.
The close of the debate was particularly
harmonious and respectful, and resulted
in handsome addition to the subserip-
ton list of the-CAristiaIl Messenger, and
a liberal donation to Professor Chaney
to defray the expenses of one of the pro-
foundest intellectual investigations to
which Portland has ever been treated.
Truth will never suffer from the light OF
patient research, and when the press
and ministry studiously keep aloof from
such, we fear that they are trembling
lest their foundations be built on sand
which the excavations of science will
unearth and thereby display the insta-
bility of their theological superstruc-
furps

THE LOCALITY OF THE MODOOS.

The Modoc troubles have caused much
allusion recently to the Klamath lakes.
Following is a description of their To-
cality: "The Big Klamath lake is sit
uated about twenty miles north of the
California boundary line, and nearly
due north of Yreka. Link river runs
out of the southern side OF this lake, and
forms link with a slough at the north
endOf Little klamath lake within five
or six miles Of the boundary, and runs
west nearly parallel, for several miles
before turning In California, and is in
reality the head of the Klamath river.
Little Klamath lake is intersected al
most in the center by the boundary
line, the largest portion of the lake be-
ing in California. About ten miles east
of Little klamath lake, over high
ridge, is Tule lake, small portion of its
northern end being in Oregon"

WISE QUOTATIONS.

Our neighbor Of the Hcrdldis engaged
in discussing a peculiar sort Of "eti-
quette." He is seriously worried about
what he "should do'' "if he should see a
lady losing her skirtr' To relieve his
mind of weighty matter we cheerfullv
inform him that there is little danger of
such contingency, but if such an acci-
dent should occur, little judicious
blindness or ready-made common sense
would be in order. 1t strikes US that ii
wouldn't be hard for a woman to know
the etiquette of propriety, if a man
should lose a button or suspender. But
what would the Herald say if we should
devote the greater part Of a column to
the discussion Of such a huge idea, ell ?

Praise Children.

There is an old superstition that praise
is too good thing to be given to the
children; that it is too rich for their
mental and moral digestion. Some
parents are so afraid that a child will
grow proud that they never praise him,
and this course is often disastrous. 1t is
apt to produce either too much self-as-
sertiOn-for self-assertiou is legitimate
outgrowth of the Withholding of COM
mendatiOn to which one is entitled-Or
to eugender a self-distrust, or melan-
chOly hOpelessness of disposition.
Praise is sunshine to child, and there
is'no child that does not need it. 1t is
the high reward of ones struggle to do
right. Thomas Hughes says that you
never can get mans best out of him
without praise. You certainly can
never geta child's best out of him with
out praise. Many n sensitive child, we
believe, dies of hunger for kind COM
mendatiOn. Many child starving for
the praise that a parent should give,
runs off eagerly after the designing flat
terry of athers.
To withhold praise where it is due, is
dishonest, and in the care of child
sueh n course often leaves stinging
sense of injustice. Motives Of common
iustice as well as regard for the future OF
The child should influence the parent to
give generous praise for al that deserves t,e
Fl OF course there is difference In the
consfitntion of children. Some cannot
hear so much praise as others, and some
need great deal. .,.-.,;o..
w vo,,,an,bor n wonderful woman who
taught school in one village until she
had educated part of three generations.
She was one of the most successful of
teachers. But her success lay in her
gift of praising with discrimination. A
had boy who was a good scholar got
praises for his brilliancy, sandwiehed
between her abOmination for his bad
behavior, and so was won to better
life, and we recall good girl who had
no gift of learning rapidly, but who was
saved from utter despair by the praise
she got for her untiring industry. Into
the discouraged hearts of the children
the praise of the teacher came like sun
light. And the virtues, like other fruits,
ran only ripen in the sunshine. !

New Years Address.


Again we greet thee, glad New Year,
As down the rapid stream ofTime,
The seasons glide, and yield their place.
All needless ofthe Past so dear
To others in the march sublime
The clock strikes twelve; without, the ram
In ccaseless torrents downward poufs'
While, as If holding carnival
ExuItant DER a world in pain,
The loud wind in mad frenzy roars.
Abroad grim darkness dwells; the storm.
Fit emblem Of Earth's mOther-throes
Reigns with an undisputed sway;
While silence with her unseen form
Around me in wierd circles goes.
But To- with eyes offaith I scan
The distant Orient, where the sun,
IN his efulgence grand, nlumes
The landscapes, seas and homes of man,
Gliding with gladness every one.
The glowing light creeps on apace;
The clock strikes one; then two, three, four
COlumbia's eastern shores, aglow
From mountain top TO lowly place.
With glad acclaim, now greet the hour.
dreamed just now OF days Of yore,
When youth and hope 10 me were sweet,
When on a glorious New Years morn,
Much brighter than all days before,
Ichaneed a vision glad 10 meet
It was-no matter-harki the time!
The clock strikes seven, and Old Mount Hood
In robes Of a rose-tinted white,
Greets the glad sun, and in his prime
Looks on the wales in smiling mood.
Now ring the New Years bells, and shout
a truce 10 MemOry's fond regret;
The Old Years dead, the New Years born.
The sun has put the storm 10 rout,
And sorrow with the night has set.
A greeting row TO patrons all,
As gaily on our rounds we call;
For you we've watched the Old Year out;
For you we've welcomed New Year in.
To tell you what the worlds about
To tell you Of what should have been
Is Our glad mission, hope and aim.
And now, as onward rolls the year,
We ask you in her joyous name
To aid our earnest enterprise
With all the zeal that in you lies.
May blessings rest upon the friends
OfTeedom, who may make amends
For many Of the sins OF earth,
II they with the glad New Years birth
Resolve TO dare and do the right
With purse, and hand, and brain, and might
And now goodbye, good patrons, all;
And when on next New Year we call
To give the greetings Of the season.
We trust that you will have no reason
To doubt that you each week were blest
with visits from the NEW NORTHWEST

THE WOODHULL CASE.

So busy have our brethren been in
collecting and arraying side dishes of
this gossip with which to tickle the
masculine public's appetite for scandal
that we have heretofore felt it almost
unnecessary to meddle in the mess.
But inasmuch as many men are show
ing symptoms of awakening to sense
Of justice, we now advert to the matter
that we may mete out to them due
needs of praise therefor. Some Of our
contemporaries have wisely waited for
coming events to prove the real status
of Vic and Tennie in their relation to
the personalities in their journal; others
have had the idea of good common
honesty and the spirit of fair dealing so
prominent in their editorial organ
izatiOns that they have dared to assure
our Lawmakers that men continually,
and with unblushing impunity, publish
newspapers far more obscene than the
Woodruff sheet; and they make free
to positively denOunee the injustice of
wreaking the vengeance of the law upon
women who follow in the wake of men
who, delighting in the profession of the
social scavenger, yet go on unmOlested.
II WOodhull and Clafiin are guilty Of
circulating obscene publications, so are
Thompson, Upton, Buys, Brown and
Noltner. So are O'Meara and Beriah
Brown, the Days Doings and P0lice
Gazette. Now why don't somebody
arrest these fellows? And when our
daily papers teem with sensational
stories about a certain metropolitan
police court, why don't somebody grow
virtuous and stop their publication ?
We call upon the officers of law to do
their duty. Treat all alike who are
equally guilty, good conservators of
morals, or let the two women, who are
only patterning after the worst among
you, go scot free like guilty men. If
Vic and Tennie are guilty of libel, let
them be dealt with as you would
deal with men in like porsion; but
don't, we pray you, give us more speci-
mems of spasmodic virtue than you can
appropriate at home, for we assure you,
gentlemen, that you who are without
sin should cast the first stone.
These women are now on bail, await
ing trial, and if they shall be adjudged
guilty Of the crime for which they are
accused, we shall insist that the men
above named, with their journals, shall
be placed in the same catalogue. The
telegraph says that Vic is to lecture on
the eth, in Cooper Institute, but it also
said, last spring, that she was the regu-
lar nominee of the National Woman
Suffrage Organization; so the telegraph
is not to be depended upon concerning
women, and we may not have the truth.
However, as she is out of prison, she'll
raise some sort of breeze, and we
guess she'll get justice, or run the laws
"a merry race in search of it. If Beecher
would sue her for libel, we should like
him better, and so would the world at
large but he knows his own business
best, and we would not presume TO die
tate. But it does seem strange, this
stop-thief cry of indecency and immoral
ity, in which men, more guilty than
Vic and Ten, continually indulge, and
we rejoice that masculine editors of re-
spectability and more than average in
telligence have the tarly bravery to
saw So
