SIGNS OF THE TIMES.

Miss Ella Chaplin has been appointed
Register of Deeds for Gratiot county,
Michigan, to fill the vacancy caused by
the death Of her father.
Miss Kate B. Ross was awarded the
prize for oratory by the judges at the
recent Rhetorical Prize Exhibition oi
the Illinois Wesleyan University al
Bloomington.
Excitement about liquor laws every
where-Maine, Massachusetts, Mississ-
ippi, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Pennsyl-
vsnia and Ohio. 1t looks as il the glo-
rious American privilege of getting
drunk is to be much restricted.
| Mr.. Robert Bonner will erect in Mount
Auburn Cemetery, near Boston, a mon
ument to the memory Of Fanny Fern.
1t will consist Of an italian marble Pc
destal, on q granite plinth-the whole
surmounted with a Roman cross
wreathed with fern leaves.
The Executive Committee of the
Michigan Woman Suffrage Association
met in Lansing on the 18th ult., to pre-
pare work for the coming campaign,
and combine all the elements of power
in their possession TO induce the next
Legislature to submit Impartial Suf-
frage to the people.
Women are distinguishing themselves
as biographers. Miss Taylor recently
published Buckles Life; Mrs. Grote has
just published an admirable sketch ol
the 'I4ife of the Historian of Greece" +"
and the best account we have of Monta-
lembert is from the pen of Mrs. Oil
phant, the author of Irving's life.
The Ohio Republican State Conven-
ton has announced ''that we cordially
welcome to our shores the oppressed OF
all countries, and remembering with
pleasure that adopted fellow-citizens
have always proved loyal TO the flag OF
the Republic, We favor such modifica-
tiOn of tue Naturalization laws as to
materially shorten the time of probation
before voting" And yet every Ameri-
can woman is excluded. Shame on
such political inconsistency!
The women Of Illinois are coming to
the front. The Chicago Journal says:
ave learn of another lady candidate
for county superintendent Of public
schools-this time in Will county.
Mrs. Sarah y. Mcintosh, Of Washing
ton, is in the field for the Republican
nomination in that county. Mrs. Nc
Intosh is amply qualified for the posi-
ton, and the sentiment in her favor APP
pears to be quite general throughout
the country. From Springfield, we
learn that there is strong probability
that Miss Mary F. Lewis, an expert
enced and successful teacher, will be
nominated for Sangamon county

law"

KEEP 1T BEFORE THE PEOPLE.

The appalling corruption which has
spread like a gangrene over the land,
pervading with it's views every form OF
business, debauching public and private
morals-this influence combines to CEN
tralize the power, which it was the OBJ
ject of our fathers to diffuse. The only
hope for a publication thorough and
secure is Woman Suffrage. Political
hereseis, however great, may not be suf-
fered to deepen into that final apostasy
from which there is no remedy. When
the excruciating test shall fiat the virtue
of the country upon its last probation,
some Susan B. Anthony, some noble
woman, may be enabled by the wisdom
and moderation and purity of principle,
to rouse the people en- DlGsse to action.
Corporations, rings and monopolies
cannot be overthrown by men. They
cannot be demolished by political trick
sters or by venal servitude to capitalists
Woman may do 1t. Woman has ae-
complished what man could not. "Like
things under like circumstances pro-
duee like effects" Universal Liberty
to all Of every ser, grade and color will
purify the ballot and bring about the
desired change. Nothing else can do il.
Nothing else toiH ever do it. Keep this
subject before the people. They are
waking up. Purity, harmony and mod
Grafton among both sexes-a steady
devotion to principle with Woman Suf-
frage, and the crisis is past.

DANDRUFF IN THE HAIR.-A CORES
respondent asks by what means this
nuisance may be prevented, and if 1t
has already made his appearance, how
ii may be removed.
As is usual, it is much easier to pre-
vent than To cure.
The prevention consists in the avoid
ance of sharp combs and brushes, and
daily bathing the head with cold water.
Numberless cases of dandruff have
been produced by scratching the head
with sharp combs and brushes. If any
one doubts it, let him try the same
practice upon the back Of his hand.
He will find in a few days branIike
scales, closely resembling dandruff,
thrown off in considerable quantity.
When the difficulty already exists in
the hair, it is to be removed by the
same simple means which will prevent
it.
l do not intend te deny that certaiu
heads are disposed to this branny ex-
eietion, but those constitute but small
part Of the cases OF dandruff.-TO-D Day.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

f. A. H., Salem: Consult our pre-
MUM list. Doubtless you can be
suited.
Mrs. NJ. X, Sheridan: S5 so received.
We deeply appreciate your words of en-
couragement.
L. b. F., North Yamhill: Certainly;
get subscribers wherever you can, re-
tanning 25 per cent. for new ones and 10
per cent. for renewals.
J.W., Walla Walla: Certainly. Shall
be very glad to receive your communi-
cation. Pleased to hear from You. Our
good work goes bravely on.
Sadie: We do not fear the smallpox.
Hon. Sam Corwin's Remedy is consid-
cred good by those who have tried it.
We should certainly use it if the disease
should break out in our own family.
Susie, Halsey: If you want to disfig-
ure your form with a hustle you can make
one of Weekly Oregonians. The steel
ones cost from 81 90 to 50 90, but the
OregoniGn is preferable for the purpose,
as 1t Is made of substantial paper and
ought to be good for something.
Martha, Gervais: japanese silk is
not durable. Drops of water settling
upon it leave the effect of grease. Bet
ter purchase some kind of washing ma
terial. Linen, percale, pique, or lawn,
is decidedly preferable for summer
wear, and is more fashionable than the
silk.
I. II. C., Salem: The rubber gloves
you speak Of were sold by peripatetic
vender, and one just now out of market.
We have forgotten the name of the
manufacturer. If any of our readers
can inform us where to write to order
them we shall let you know. They had
a good run while the supply lasted, and
have been much inquired for.
w. G., Scio: There are two Woman
Suffrage Associations, the National and
American, both In fiourishing condi-
tions, and each presided over by the
best talent that the country affords.
Besides these there are dozens of State
Societies and many hundreds of local
ones. We will try to visit your town
before many months. Thanks for re-
mittance.

THE MATERNAL BARBER-YOu can
always tell a boy whose mother cuts
his hair. Not because the edges of IL
look as if it had been chewed of by an
absent-minded horse, but you tell il by
the way he stops on the street and wrig-
giles his shoulders. When a fond
mother has to cut off her boys hair, she
is careful to guard against any annoy
ance and muss by laying a sheet on the
carpet. 1t has never yet occurred to her
to sit him over a bare floor and put the
sheet around his neck. Then she draws
the front hair over his eyes and leaves
it there while she cuts that which is at
the back. The hair which lies over his
eyes appears to be surcharged with
electric needles, and that which is ST.
lently dropping down under his shirt
band appears to be on fire. She has un-
cautiously continued to push his head
forward until his nose presses his breast,
and is too busily engaged to notice the
snuffiing sound that is becoming alarm
ingly frequent. In the meantime he is
seized with an irresistible desire to blow
his nose, but recOllects that his hand
kerchief is in the other room. Then q
fly lights on his nose, and does it so un-
expectedly that he invOluntarily lodges,
and catches the points of the shears in
his left ear. At this he commences to
cry and wish he was a man. But his
mother doesn't notice him. She merely
hits him on the other ear, to inspire
him with confidence, and goes on with
the work. When she is through she
holds his jacket collar back from the topof
his head and blows down his back. He
calls her attention to this fact, but she
looks fora new place on his head and hits
him there, and asks him why he didn't
use his handkerchief. Then he takes
his awfully disfgured head to the mirror
and looks at it, and, young as he is,
shudders as he thinks of what the boys
on the street will say.-Ddn6ury Nel0s.

EDUcATIoN.-The influence Of ednca-
tion in diminishing crime, Is proved by
many particular facts, and by the gem
eral result, that crime decreases usually
in proportion as a good system OF popu-
lar instruction becomes more prevalent.
This education, so important to indi-
viduals and to States, may be attainable
to all, even the most INDECENT and
labOriOus; for labor does not deaden the
intellect, but tends rather to quicken
and invIgorate it, and further, the
claims of Iator are not inconsistent
with leisure sufficient for mental cul-
ture.

ON board these were engaged in throwing over
board the cargo from the forehold. The
transfer of the passengers being concluded,
and those on board made aft, | examined the
state of the vessel, and found it to be very
bad, as not only were the furnaces cloggcd by
the quantity of hams and grease which had
been burncd but the engine packing was in
very had order, as it had suffered severely in
the flight. The vessel was making water
through badly stopped leak in the bow un-
der the water line, and also through seams,
which laboring during the flight, had caused it
to open. The cabins were in disorder; trunks
open and their contents scattered about, and
all bearing evident signs that everything of
value had been thrown overheard.
All the cases of arms had been opened, and
revolver cartridges, matchets and insurgent
uniform buttons were lying about. Saddles
documents and loose effects have been collect

right to use, and having hostcd the Spanish
flag in its place.

crash which has fallen upon the country. 1t
is very unjust and foolish to lay the blame at
the door Of the administration, for the or III
would have come, no matter which party VS.
in power, and despite any action which the
general government might have taken. But
Blame is attached to the administration and
the party none the less, and some popular
step like the wrenching of Cuba from Spalh
must be taken in order to reGstablish the party
in the good will and confidence OF the people.
GOV. MOSES FOR PEACE.
Our correspondent also saw Gov. Moses,
and in hurried interview ellcited his opinions
upon the Cuban question. His Excellency
differs from Honest John, both as to the prob
ability and as to the advisability of war
with Spain. He thinks the excitement about
the execution of the crew of the VlrglnlusS
rather hasty, for the character of the vessel
has not yet been clearly established, nor Is 1t
positively known in what waters she was ac'
tlally sailing at the time of her capture.
Reporter. Governor, what do you think
will be the probable action ofour government?
Governor. If the case be as it is now rep,
resented, l believe that the government ought
to and will demand ample reparatlon Tor the
murder of her citizens, but believe that the
difficulty will be settled in a friendly way
without recourse to arms, for Spain cannot
we'll afford, with her Carlist disturbances at
home, to engage in a foreign war, and our gov
ernment will not be hasty to adopt violent
measures toward CASTELAR, and the infant re-
public which he is endeavoring to establish IN
Spain.
Reporter What kind of a fight do you
think Spain could make with the United States
in case war should occur?
Governor. In my judgment the war would
be much more serious than is anticipated:
The Spanish navy is far superior to ours, and
though 1 have no doubt in the event OF con-
test of the final triumph of the United States,
vet believe that Spain would trouble us con.
siderably at first The Governor concluded
by remarking that there was strong feeling
among the Republicans in the State, and par
ticularly among the colored citizens, to 60 tor
ward and aid in securing the independence OF
Cuba, and the emancipation of the slaves on
the island General Taft, of Charleston, he
said, had telegraphed him Friday, rendering,
through him. to President Grant, the services
of his (Taf's) brigade Of colored State militia.
The Governor has not yet notified the Presi-
dent of Gen. Taft's gallant and patriotic offer,
but is holding the matter under advlsement
until he sees some indication that the PreSl-
dent will need General Taft.
THE "DEvELOPERs'
about the capital are heartily in favor of the
acquisition of Cuba, but are somewhat avcrSc

place to "carpet-bag" to. DR.. Neagle, the

VIEWS OF TIE COLUMBIA MAGNATES.

The Columbia correspondent Of the Nears
and Courier on Saturday, called on Senator
J. j. Patterson, more tamiliarly known in this
State as Honest John, to obtain his views upon
the Cuban question. lie was very communi-
cative, and appears to have given the subject
considerable thought. lie says he has for
years been looking forward to the freedom Of
Cuba and her annexation to the United States,
and he regards the present as most admira-
BILE opportunity to effect both purposes. For
some time past, he says, the treatment Of
American citizens by Cubans has been outra
gcous and oug ght to be avenged He thinks
that the acquisition of Cuba by the United
States, or her independence and the establish
ment Of free commercial relations between the
two countries, would be of especial benefit to
the South, and to South Carolina and Charles
ton in the building up Of a large trade with
the island the commerce of which, he says, is
immense. His opinion is that the present
complications must result either in the annex.
alton Of Cuba or her separate independence,
and the arrangement of such commercial reg
ulations with the United States as will be Of
the greatest service to both countries. The
following conversation then cnsued
Reporter Well, senator, what do YOU think
are President Grants views on the subject !; is
he likely to push matters with Spain or not {?
Patterson. Grant has had his eye on Cuba
for several years. Cuba was his objective
point in his movement to purchase St. Do
miugo, and now that he has her in his grasp,
lie is not likely to let the opportunity slip.
He will at least suspend the neutrality laws,
and give chance to all Americans who wish
to aid in Cuban independence to do so.
Reporter. What do you think would be
the effect here at home of wal with Spain ?
Patterson. I think little fight with Spain
would be wholesome for the country in many
respects In the first place, believe for
cign war would bring about thorough recon-
citation between the North and the South,
which is great thing to be accomplished in
itself In the next place Il war would relieve
the present financial crisis sooner than any
thing else, for it would cause an immediate
expansion Of the currency by the government;
would enhance the price Of all our commodi-
ties of trade, and would furnish employment
for the thousands of mechanics and laborers
who have been recently thrown out Of work.
Reporter l. the administration, in your
Judgment, probably inclined to favor a war
or not?
Patterson. Yes, think it would be. The
administration, and the Republican party
which it represents, will be held, and the re-
cent elections in the North show that they
arc held, responsible for the terrible business
