LAURA GORDON HEARD FROM.

From a private letter just received
from our friend and co-worker, Laura
DeForce Gordon, who has been absent
for the past year in the East, we extract
the following:
81 came home in September, but was
so troubled by sort of bronchial affec-
ton that 1 was unable to engage
actively in the Presidential Campaign.
However, the result has proven that my
aid was not needed. Poor II. G.. had his
wish, viz: that he should not live to see
his daughters vote.
my health is fully restored now, and
1 long for the time to come to be at work
again in our good cause. 1 have been
waiting with almost bated breath to
know the result of dear, noble Susan b.
Anthony's arrest for illegal voting.
Sometimes am half persuaded that the
verdict will be in our favor, and we
women may be recognized as citizens
without opposition. Again / reflect
upon the bitter prejudice and obtuse
bigotry of the opposition in regard to
the legal status of woman, and my
heart sinks within me at the prospect of
the work yet to be performed. The
whole future of our work now rests with
the court or courts in charge of Miss
AnthOny's case. Oh, how anxiously we
are all waiting for the verdict. What
is your Oregon local Society doing?
81 hear from our patient, brave help
ers, Mrs. Schenck and Mrs. Wallis, of
California, and Miss Clapp and others Of
Nevada, and find. one all waiting

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS

NJ. o. S., Eola: We don't know that
our private religious belief has any
thing more to do with our political
work as a Woman Suffragist or Sunday
work as a moralist than the religion of
the editor Of the Bulletin has to do with
his work as a Republican or Custom
House officer, or that of the editor of
the Herald has to do with his work as
a Democrat and public lecturer. But,
inasmuch as some anonymous writer in
the Messenger has charged we are a
Spiritualist, and many of our good
Woman Suffrage friends are sorely
troubled in consequence, we will say for
their benefit that we do most unquali-
fiedly believe in the Spiritualism of the
New Testament. We have also wit
messed some striking evidences of spirit
manifestations, or something far more
unaccountable, but leave their public
elucidatiOn to those who make such
matters their calling. Our work is en-
phatically political, and the private re-
ligious belief Of our allies is none of our
business. Our political friends are COM
posed of members Of all churches, ad-
herents to all creeds, and ministers of
all denominations. The Spiritualist
makes just as efficient Woman Suffra-
gist as the. Presbyterian, the Catholic
just as active as the Methodist. They
are all welcome to work in our field.
and all the more intelligent and en-
lightened ones are already in it. Their
religion is between themselves and God.
We hold the same right for ourself. Are
you answered?
A. NJ. NJ, Lafayette: Many thanks
for your excellent letter, which appears
elsewhere. 1t IS a little strange that
persons who ought to and do know bet
ter take such delight in saying evil
things Of us, but the older we grow the
more charitable we get. 1t is very nat
ural for persons to imagine that we are
what they feel that they should be in
our position, and We shouldn't be too
hard upon them for what they can't
help. Your subscription was paid in
recently. All right.
i. t. NJ, Kalama: Yonr name is re-
corded with pleasure. We shall GER
tainly expect you to be present at the
Convention. Thanks for renewal.
NJ. +. C., Lafayette: Subscriber and
money order received. Send us a list of
names for our call. Thank you.
Mrs. r. NJ, Tangent: IS so received
and order attended TO.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN CALIFoR.
MA.

Mary ). Collins, Corresponding Secre-
tary Of the San Francisco Woman Srf
frage Association, writes as follows.
"Well, the Lbs and DENIS were terri
bly, defeated. Mr.. Greeley has gone to
his spirit home, and the Republican
party will, we earnestly hope, politically
enfranchise the women of the country
and thus place them in a condition to
command respectful consideration. Su-
san b. Anthony voted as an ernest of
her early triumph, and the officials of
the political party which she so vehe-
mently advocated have confined her TO
a prison cell. This outrage, which finds
earnest defenders in both parties, will.
We trust, work a speedy revolution.
"Our Society delegated Mrs. f. C.
Curtis of Sacramento and the wife of
our Senator elect, A. A. Sargent, to rep
resent us in the National Woman Suf-
frage Convention, which met at Wash
ington on the 18th inst.
ave want you to hold yourself in
readiness to attend our annual meeting.
We expect it TO be an imposing demon
stration. The time will be favorable for
you to circulate the NEW NORTHWEST
more effectually in this State. The
Suffrage movement in California as
sumes more importance now than ever
before. Men and women of influence
speak of it respectfully, and politicians
see in it more of reason, right and JUS
tice than formally.
"Wea busily at work trying to move
the Suffragists in the State of Nevada
to force the claims of women upon the
Legislature now in session at Carson.
My time is now occupied in correspond
ence with our trans-mountain asso-
ciates. enclose a copy of a Report and
Laws, submitted to the Assembly of the
Cal. Legislature by a special committee
raised by that body to consider the sub
ject of wOman's political needs and re-
port thereupon. This committee quietly
invited the President of our Woman
Suffrage Board (NIr. Collins) to prepare
such report and such laws as would, in
his judgment, harmonic with the
views and feelings Of the Assembly and
submit them to 1.-THE Committee-for
its consideration and approval. The re-
port and laws are just as they came from
his pen. You will be pleased to note by
what huge majority the first two laws
were adopted. / trust your labors will
show their fruits in the next Legisla-
ture Of Oregon"

Suffrage in Nevada.

Following is the official report OF
Nevada's Legislative action on the Suf-
frage Bill:
Grey's "Female Suffrage amendment
to the constitution resolntion,i coming
up on second reading, he moved its
reference to the Committee on Elec-
tions.
Savage moved to indefinitely postpone
the resolution.
Grey said that independent of the dis
courtesy of the motion to him, he
thought it improper to so summarily
dispose of so important a matter.
Street said that he would favor the
postpOnement of this particular pro-
posed amendment. He said that the
whole constitution needed reconstruc-
ton, and convention for the revision
should be held. 1t was the worst con-
stitution of any State in the Union.
Hart favored reference. He believed
the proposition was of growing import
anee and one well worthy Of the eonsid-
Grafton of the House.
Drake was opposed to doctoring or
patching up the State Convention. He
was satisfied with that document as il
now stood.
Morrison favored the reference and

THE COMING CONVENTION.

Our friends will see that quite an ar
ray Of names has been added to our
original list in the call for a Woman
Suffrage Convention. It is the inten-
ton Of the Committee to spare neither
pains nor expense in their endeavor TO
make this meeting instructive, ennter-
tanning and attractive. a full programe
Of the proceedings will be published as
soon as it can be definitely arranged.
In the meantime we urge our friends
everywhere TO take upon themselves
the duty of Committee of the Whole,
and prepare songs, essays, speeches and
poems, for the edifcation Of the multi
tude. If you could realize the prodigi-
Gus amount of mental and physical Ia
Dor that devolves upon us as an individ-
ual you would certainly need no per-
sonal invitation TO come to our aid in
the ranks and by your zeal in the fight
procure your speedy promotion.
We hope the friends of Woman Suf-
frage will not await the formality OF
personal invitations to attend and as
sist. Such invitations will be given as
far as practicable, but if any are over
looked who are willing to work, remem-
Der that if the editor of this paper had
waited till somebody invited her to
come out before taking her stand for
Human Rights, the public would not
have known her yet. Remember
friends, the demand now is for long
pull, a strong pull, and a pull alto

Senate will accept this fact as an ernest
that he will stand by our cause In
Congress. He remarked before bidding
us good-by that he had not yet sa'a d
great deal ON the subject, but he was
ready to act, and when he had an oppor-
tunity would always be heard on our
side. We'd like to say ever so many oi
the good things that well up in our
heart concerning the many other iriehuS
who are coming to our aid in our iaoors'
but they're too modest to allow us to par
ticularize, and we're too grateful 70 De
garrulous, so we only repeat: We thank
YOU, and hope always to deserve your
assistance and encouragement.

thirty years of age, who was sealed to
an old woman of sixty, native also of
the same quarter of the globe. She ex-
planned the matter thus graphically to
'san outsider" 81 no lives NIT him in
this world; we lives together IN the res
direction" There spirituality for
you.
1 was told very gravely short time
since by a jealous "Saint' who was la
boring for my conversion that there
was no hope of my salvation unless I
became a Saint, except some Polyga-
nous Mormon should be baptized as
proxy for me, and no hope OF my "get-
ting' my husband in the next world ex-
cept the aforesaid Polygamous friend
and his wife should be married by proxy
for US. My reply was rather more forci-
BILE than elegant when told him pre-
ferred damnation TO salvation on such
terms.
But few Mormons comparatively are
well versed in the teachings of the BIZ
BILE. True, there are some like Orson
Pratt, Sem, who are pretty thorough,
but the younger ones, who have had
polygamy crammed into them, and
who have seen its bitter fruits in their
own homes and those of their friends,
have become disgusted with book that
seems, as they are taught, to sanction
SO much of misery, and many of them
are apostatizing and becoming scepti-
cal.
l do not find every home of the Dllt-
rdlist place of unhappiness. l do
know one where the two women and
'their husband' live very pleasantly
together. This is the exception. I can
not imagine how any young girl in her
senses can consent to accept a second,
third, fourth or fifth part of a husband.
But that they do is evident, and it is
done almost daily. 1 know now of n
young Swedish girl who is engaged to
be ''second' 10 a man who has a legal
wife and six children in Europe, and
who would have "taken" her the past
summer had not the ''Prophet" forbid
den him until he should bring his wife
and children to ''Zion" to "gather"
with the "Saints." She will come in
the first emigration in the spring, and
then he will take No. ,. Can you i'm
agine the homecoming of that wife and
her children?
L was told very gravely the other day
that "man's nature was richer who
was possessed of number of women" !"
But what of the women? If one is to
judge by their physiognomy, their ma
ture is quite the reverse OF rich. 1 will
leave the subject lest 1 weary you, but
in passing let me say that with all their
! glaring errors never saw kinder peo-
pie or one more ready to oblige. They
are industrious and plodding, honest
and thrifty, and deserve a great deal OF
credit for making this wilderness bud
and blossom as they have. i'Honor to
whom honor" etc. How such sys-
tenn of glaring contradictions ever got
together passes my comprehension. But
enough for this time.
Yours truly, SYBIL.

LETTER FROM LAFAYETTE.

Dear Mrs. Dl1iilCdy:-I have just
finished perusing the NEW NORTHWEST
and am glad to see the call for Wom-
an Suffrage Convention. l am glad
to see that the friends of Human
Rights are still alive to the exigencies
Of the times. The arresting and
imprisonment of Miss Anthony is one
Of the best things that ever happiened
to further the cause Of women. / am
pleased to see my name appended to the
call; but wish you would print it Ann
NJ. instead of a. NJ, because there is
man up here who is a very strong oppo-
nent of Woman Suffrage, who has the
same initials, and there might he some
misunderstanding about it.
Did you notice that hint in the Mes
senger Of your being a spiritualist? /
thing 1 understand your views on the
subject of spiritualism too well to be-
lieve you are spiritualist in the COM
mon acceptation of the term. Our close
intimacy for years gives both of us
better insight into each others viewsand
opinions than we otherwise would have.
1 get considerably annoyed sometimes
to hear people, that ought to know bet
ter, so totally misrepresent your opinions
and character. But 1 hope it won't al
ways be so. Go on with your work and
the Lord will bless you, for you are on
the right side, and He will always bless
those that are trying to do good to the
human family.
How l should like to attend the Con-
vention at Portland, but 1 willnot be able
to be there this time.
Your affectionate friend
ANN NJ. MARTIN.

firm stand at the Temperance Alliance.

LETTER FROM ALBANY.

Dear Mrs. D,1lilCGy:-In looking over
the columns of your excellent journal
we seldom see anything from your old
Albany home, yet we doubt not you are
always pleased to hear from us.
The past two weeks will long be re-
membered by portion of the citizens
OF this place as time of considerable
religious enthusiasm, and a time of
awakening from the Rip Van Wrinkle
somnolency prevailing in the churches
oil this city for the last twenty years.
The week OF prayer has been prolonged
to fortnight with increasing interest,
and the meetings still go on, accompa-
MED with zeal and unanimity never
before witnessed here. Most Of the
churches have for the last five or six
years been declining in membership,
while the alarming increase of intem-
perance warns US to assume again the
aggressive, rather than the questionable
character of the easy-going no policy
portion Of the community, always
ready to follow in the train of the ma
jority, right or wrong. The friends and
workers in the great cause of Temper
ance seem TO realize the situation, and
are working with will and determina-
ton that must ultimately meet with
success. The Good .Templars' Lodge is
doing good work indeed, and many
are to-day ranked with the cohorts of
Temperance that formerly were wont to
congregate in the temples of vice.
Public installations, balls and private
parties, together with amateur dramatic
performances, have been the order Of
the day in the way of amusements, in
terspersed with intellectual treats of
lectures on various subjects, and for the
benefit of as many different objects. On
last Thursday Rev. Mr.. Nesbitt of Cor
Wallis lectured in the Congregational
church of this city for the benefit of the
Young Mems Sigma Phi Society of Al
bany Collegiate Institute, and the gen.
tleman's experien in the lecture field
led us to look for something real good.
and We were not disappointed.

THE PEOPLE MOURN.

It becomes our melancholy duty tC
record the sudden death, under very
painful circumstances, of our efficient
co-worker in the cause of Human
Rights, Hon. G.. w. Brown, whose un-
timely departure is a heavy loss, not
only to his family and the community,
but to the great cause Of Woman's En-
franchisement, of which he was an able
and earnest advocate. On last Tuesday
morning as Mr.. Brown was busy at his
work at the HolladaY numbering MILL
he unfortunately attempted to mount
the cars as they were moving slowly on
the track, and losing his footing, ieh
between the wheels, two Of which ran
over his leg where it Joined the body,
crushing it frightfully, and causing
agony and loss of blood which rendered
him at once unconscious, and from
which he did not rally. The deceased
has filed many responsible position ir
society and politics. He was member
of the Legislature in 1856. In 1857 he
became business manager and associate
editor of the Standard, and as evidence
of his industry it is related Of him that
after he attended to the affairs of the
paper he usually left for his farm, four
teen miles distant, carrying a torch to
light him through the forest. He was
carpenter by trade, and superintended
and constructed the first line of street
railway in this city. He had been in
the employ of the milling company but
a few days when his work was arrested
by his sudden call to 'come higher"
We know the emptiness of words and
their incapacity to heal the wounds Of
death that have pierced the hearts of his
devoted wife and effectionate children,
but as We pen these lines our eyes over
flow with tears of sorrow and our heart
is full Of unuttered and unutterable ex-
pressionso of coincidence. We also mourn
his loss as a personal friend and adviser,
in whom we had entire confidence, and
whose aid we need and shall sadly miss
in our labors. Upon whom will his
mantle fall in this great struggle for
Human Rights? Thoroughly honest,
scrupulously honorable, untiringly
jealous and always hopeful, his aid
and counsel were an inspiration to us to
his latest hour.
Fold the hands all scanned with labor,
Close the erewhile beaming eyes,
Smooth the cold and pulseless temples,
Bow your heads-a hero dies.
He reczed not that that his lot was humble,
Zeal his marter truth his shield:
Yet not less a hero was he
Than the dead on tented field.
Hail, good friend and noble brother,
Stricken hearts these tributes bring,
And farewells, with falterng voices,
Those who loved thee sadly sing.
