THE BULLETIN" SAGE ESSAYS TO
BE THE CITY s0L0N.

The Bulletin Of Wednesday treats the
CITY Council to huge installment Of
advice concerning the darling object Of
its editors affection, the license ques-
tion. Indeed, he somewhat oversteps
the bounds of fatherly advice, to which
he evidently intended to confine himself
in the outset, and assuming dietatorial
attitude, tells the newly-elected mem
bers "to vote for reduction of license
or resign" and insists that the older
members shall be guided by his superior
wisdom in the matter.
What, pray, is the use of Mayor or
Common Council when we have a
Jimmy O'AIeara? ? and said Jimmy so
anxious to legislate for us, too? After q
pathetic plea concerning the present ex-
tortionate rates of license, a doubtful
conclusion as to its possible results, and
the usual cry about heavy taxes to ac-
crue, he proceeds to clinch the matter
by asserting that license ought to be as
low here as in San Francisco. This col
umn Of tiresome twaddle was not, how
ever, directed to or indicted for the sole
benefit and guidance Of the City Faith
ers. Oh, no. The eProhibitionists comein
for considerable share, and here is a
specimen of the practical work which is
laid down for them by this would-be
oracle, Begin at the beginning in a
practical way; human beings must be
created without an appetite or desire for
stimulants or tonics;" though just how
he expects prohibitionists to proceed in
this matter is not made manifest. This
manner Of beginning at the beginning
will be something Of task, from the
fact that so many thousands of the faith
ers Of human beings are wine-bibbers
and drunksrds, and made and continued
so by that libel upon common sense,
that outrage upon humanity, the license
system. Talk about human beings be-
ing created without appetite for stimu-
lants, while every opportunity which
law can give or custom sanction, is
man-defended and supported, to keep
the fathers OF the race halfstupefied with
rum, and the mothers powerless to act
in a competent way. As well expect
bigot to advocate Woman Suffrage, or
the City Council to learn wisdom at the
feet of the editor of the Bulletin.
The plain truth is that the whole IL
cense system is wrong, and no amount
Of legislation can make it right.

\ recent telegram from Washington an
nounced that SO women employees had been
discharged from the engraving and printing
bureau. Why was this wholesale manner or
cutting down expenses confined so exclusively
to women: Beyond question, they are more
deserving Of place than men. and are much
more dependent Men can, under the existing
laws OF society, better buffet the tide OF fortune
than can women. Our opinion is, It IS simply
because men can vote and women cannot,
hence the men must he retained and the
women sent adrift.-LEcho.
Brother Gale, weak and doubtful ad-
vocate Of Woman Suffrage though he
be, is able to see "what's the natter in
this instance. We congratulate him
upon having one sensible and correct
oDinion.

The feeble Echoes of brother gales
rawlings having utterly failed TO produce
the hOped-for response from us, he now
attempts to play the role Of "good little
boy" and in lieu of calling naughty
names, and saying coarse and spiteful
things about US, he proffers pity and
begs pardon. His whimpering promise
"to let us alone hereafter" suggests the
idea that the genuine object Of pity
dwells not remote from his own sane
tum. There is something quite unnat-
ural, however, in his attempt to person
ate magnanimity-scurrility suited him
exactly. Persevere, brother; yeur new
garments may fit better after awhile.

The Governors imbecile god-son at
Forest Grove is so frantic over the fact
that all sensible people want the NEW
NORTHWEST, and subscribe for it, while
his shilly-shallying sheet goes begging
in vain for patronage, that he follows
up such of our subscribers as will,
through forbearance, listen to his whin-
ing, and then goes off and attempts to
blackmail US on the strength of what
we didn't say. He comes about as near
to the truth in retailing such gossip as
he did once when he tried to give a
synopsis, in good faith and seriousness,
of one of our temperance lectures, and
made himself the laughing-stock of the
whole community by his ridiculous
misstatements. Poor Luce

The long-talked-of ordinance to regu-

liquors, and that the license fee shall be
$50, instead of 500 per quarter, as pro-
vided in the original ordinance. Mr..

nay; Messrs. Moreland and Russell were
not present.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.-The results OF
the Local Option elections in California,
with the outrageous treatment which
our Christian ladies have received while
using only religious means to save our
country from the dire evils of intemper-
anee, abundantly convince us that the
only way to find ourselves out of the
dark labyrinths of intemperance in
which our nation is lost, is, under God.
in putting the ballot in the hands OF
woman. With that, women VIII not
only have light to guide, but power
with which to help in such a crltlcai
time of distress as this. There IS no
principle Of justice, patriotism or reIlg-
ion, that we know of, that will be irae-
tured in the least by giving 70 the most no;
moral and religious portion OF our citi-
zens-womenSthe only power which
trampIe on her prayers and despise her
tears and entreaties.-Advocdte.
