AS the questions OF health and economy
are cOnsi i|er4tions Of facts rather than Of
sentiment we venture to hope thai they
will be highly appreciated by our commu-
uity and we trust that it will have a roWn-
ing force ifthoroughly praclic2d. The SAM
tary question is placed first, because, how
ever carefully we may practice economy
and increase material prosperity; we shall
profit little if we have not the health to
enjoy our possessions, aud because the most
important item of the wealth of our island
is its population. We auo the products OF
the soil on which we live, and ali our pros
perity depends, directly or indirectly, on
our ability to m Ike use OF its productive
power more than this, 50 far as we can
trace our prosperity to the agricultural
production OF the soil, it viii be more or
less Indirect proportion to the SOILS fertility.
1t will be plain, nevertheless, to all who
have given this subject the consideration
it deserves, that even the indirect efforts Of
our town authorities and ofitdividual plan
tiers are as vet Of but feeble effect IN the
d sired direction. What is the bonefde
value of the fertilizing matter that is lost
by reason Of a neglect of the items of
health and economy; which we are here
considering, it is impossible at present to
determine with positive accuray but we
beg to call the attention of the pub ic in
genera. to the perusaI Of the Feuilleton,
which will be published in our future is
sues, commencing from the 4th June No.
45-which can be clipped from the Avis
and put up in Pamphlet form. The Feuil-
Teton will show, that, if there is any ques-
ton of national health and economy which
is paramount to all others, it is that which
relates to the saving Of human manure aud
its use in agriculture.

AN APOLOGY.

After q lite reflection, and when it
was too late to amend the matter, we
felt sorry that We had, in our last issue,
stopped to resent the attacks of the erea-
ture who presides over the States Rights
Democrat. The game was not only not
worth the ammunition, but the odor 1t

teristlc of the animal. Our readers VIII
pardon us for quoting just one para

We ask our friends everywhere TO

THE DIFFERENCE.

In order that our thousands of readers
may see how badly an obscene and so
called Democratic organ at Eugene was
worried overour well received address in
that place, on the political situation"
we select from about two columns Of
base personal diatribe the only par
agraph which we, as a responsible and
respectable journalist, could copy with
out running very narrow risk Of being
arrested for obsenity. Low indeed have
our voters governmental ideas fallen
when a man can be elected to Congress
whose satellites are OF the stamp of the
Democrat and Guard. Says the Guard:
We entertain the gravest doubts as 10 whether
there is on the face or the earth any being who
can tell as many untruths In one hour as did
the depraved female who harangued an au-
dIenee at the Court House last Saturday even
ing, and we are absolutely certain that no per
son except her could tell them with such fer
vor.
But for the sake of the reputation OF
Eugene we are proud to say that there is
one respectable newspaper in the place,
which, although it differs from us in
many particulars, is decent, ,dignified and
reliable. This paper, the Journal, says
OF the lecture:
As announced, Mrs. Duniway spoke at the
Court House last Saturday evening, and was
greeted By a larger audience than has attended
any political meeting In this city for many q
DAY. Although she was severe on both political
parties, she told about as much truth as could
we'll be spoken in that length Of time. Her
/ speech was well received, notwith hstanding
/ the fac; that a great many doubt the propriety
ofn woman taking the stump in political
campaign.
Now, 10 all the Democratic small fry
who are swapping at our heels, we say in
placid serenity, snap on. Your howl
ings only prove that we have frightened
you thoroughly. II We had only had
one month longer time 10 devote to the
peoples interests before election, We
should have had gentleman in Con
, gress. As it was, you learned to fear ui
to such a degree that you employed th'
Governor to run opposition to our public
speaking, although you could not indue
him to meet US in debate, like gentle
man. So, We repeat, snap on it amuse
you and doesn't hurt US.

HE GOT SCARED.

The timid editor of the OrcgOnian, who
saws he INIT editOr-he only controls the
paper and writes the editorials-got SO
badly frightened over the effective
work we were doing TO defeat his candi-
date for Congress that he called Justify
upon the United States Marshal TO sup
press us. Indeed, his mind was so per-
turbed that il was little wonder that, in
his trepidation, he should see himself
reflected in the mirror Of his own con-
science and imagine 1t was u.s. But you
can't make the people see through your
optics, irate sonny; so go slow. You'll
learn a few profitable lessons from your
present blunders If you really possess
the native talent for which we have
been pleased TO give you credit. y
young man cannot make a worse mis-
take than TO begin public career by
throwing Democratic mud Ia Brown
or Bud or Buys. But We have hope for
you yet, provided you get out of that
kennel and leave of that kind Of asso-
Citations. It's never too late to mend
dear boy.

Miss Bdgerton on Suffrage.
TmLAMoOK, Oct. 16, 1873.

This noted young lady lecturer lately
delivered a lecture on Suffrage in Brook
lvn, and one of the New York papers
thus speaks of herself and what she
said:
She is by no means n petite beauty,
but a substantial, handsome, sensible
looking young lady, and it was easier to
imagine than it was with some lady
lecturers, that her lecture was entirely
her own composition. She was plainly
but becomingly attiTed in black silk
dress, and she spoke throughout with =
quiet, finely-mOdulated but rather deep,
masculine voice. Miss Edgerton does
not believe in Woman Suffrage. She
argued that the indiscriminate suffrage
already enjoyed by the male citizens of
the Republic was a source of danger and
evil, as it gave ignorance equal power
with intelligence and placed the en-
! lightened benefactOr of humanity polit-
/ ically on the same level with the dissO-
lutte idler. The evil would only be inv
creased if the same indiscriminate right
of suffrage were given to woman; for the
number of voters would be doubled with
out any change in the proportion of ig-
nOrant and intelligent pOssessOrs OF pO-
litical power The effect of such an in
crease in the number of voters would
not, she thought, materially affect the
political course of the Nation, but she
feared il would have q demoraliZing ef-
feet upon women themselves, by with
drawing them to some extent from the
refining Influences of home and bring
p ing the best and purest of them into de-
) grading contact and competition with
the worst 1t might be said that they
would not be compelled 10 vote; but no
eompulsiOn would be needed to induce
the most unprincipled reprObate to vote,
j and their purer sisters would be COM
, PEELED to vote to save the Nation. Miss
EdgeTtOn also denied that the ballot
, was needed, or that the condition of
women would be thereby improved in
2 any particular. She acknowledged that
there were laws upon the statute books.
of this and other States which might
well be repealed; but she argued that
= men were not all cOntented and happy
e and prosperous because they had votes,
p and she also maintained in vigorous
, language that women could trust more
readily for justice to the generosity and
e chivalrous instincts of men than to
2 their own sex. In proof of this position
a she referred TO the general courtesy with
which women are treated by men in all
civilized nations, and showed the hare
and relentless condemnation with which
D the average woman visits sinners Of her
: own sex. In conclusion, Miss EdgertOn

j different from the frivolous type so
e common, but which could only be at
q tanned by careful home culture.-B'tlts-

Political rights don't bring pecuniary
benefits TO man or woman We hope
our readers will pardon us for the long
and we are sure the Bulletin
will, for We hereby append an article
from its editorial columns which upsets
the theory of its "noted young lady lee
turer," and its own quasi endorsement
thereof as well:
Take the case OF the widow OF Oregon's late
honorable Representative elect TO Congress,
Mrs. Joseph G. Wilson, fo- instance. Before
ne LEFT Washington, for a visit 10 Marietta, in
Ohio, where he died, Judge Wilson deposited
$1,000 in Governor Cookies Washington Ma
tional Bank. He believed it to be entirely
sound-not rotten TO the core, as it has proved.
After his death, just before Mrs. Wilson started
for Oregon, with her half-orphaned little ones,
she applied at the bank to get the 81 .OOoall the
money which her lamented husband had left
TO provide for herself and dependent family.
She was refused. Governor Cooke told her the
bank could not and would not pay the money
l TO her until the administration Of Judge VIII
! sons estate had authorized the demand. Then,
and not until then, would she get the SleoG
! Mrs. Wilson had no recourse. She had TO sub
nit TO the harsh, unfeeling, soulless terms.
Fortunately Tor her, pennies almost as she
was she found n friend who loaned her money
enough to pay her way back 10 her home Ia
Oregon. She is now teaching school at the
Dalles to support her children. ON her arrival
here she had bonds prepared, OF an undoubted
| character TO enable her to draw the 81 900 from
Cookies bank They were sent 10 Judge VIII
I llams, Acknowledgement, TO be presented by
him as her authorized agent; he to draw the
money, pay the sum she had been compelled
u borrow, and remit to herself the remainder
The bonds and the authorization 10 Judge VII
lIaIns reached Washington sept. I'D. The
bank had failed several days before. And nov
Mrs. Wilson is left destitute and I'm debt. Had
Governor Cooke paid her the Sl.OOO her hus
band had deposited In his bank for safe keep
ing this Rrieyously afflicted and distressed lady
would not now be defrauded OF her slender
means and have this loss added to her painful
bereavement Hers is one case we happen Il
know or How many similar cases are there
! Of which the details do not reach us7 Ant
. yet Governor Cooke lives sumptuously uPor
his large privste wealth, free of the law!

THE POWER OF THE NEW NORTH
WEST"

The Woman Movement in Oregon has
lost a vote in the House of Representa-
tives for the two ensuing Congressional
terms. 1t has lost it, though, in 4 way
that is not only half victory, but is
precursor Of an unexampled triumph
by-and-by.
The Member elect remarked 10 q
prominent gentleman in this city just
before election that he would "defeat
his adversary, the Smith without an
alias by three thousand majority; ant" |"
added he, with emphasis, ''if it were
not for that id hcVcr Of the NEW
NORTHWEST, I'd win by five thousand" /"
1t is little wonder that the weaker
portion of the Democratic press, includ-
ing the OregoRidn and Reporter, grew
frantic and called us names; for they all
knew that If we had had one month
longer time in which to work, before
election, among Republicans and DEM
ocrats, exposing the OregoHiG's trea-
son, Mr.. Nesmith's auti-DemOcratic
record, and the political situation just
as it was, untrammeled as we were by
partisan alliances, their candidate OF
double and doubtful cognOmen would
have been defeated. AS it was, he was
elected by less than two thousand, con-
sequently, by his own confession, the
NEW NoRTHwEsT-he'll excuse us fol
not prefixing his adjectives-controlled
three thousand votes.
