A SEASON OF REST.

The harvest Of this year having been
bountiful but tedious, is at length al
most over, and farmers may glance with
pardonable pride and satisfaction at
their well-filled barns and granaries,
and Changers number with delight the
hundreds of bushels of grain that are
stored in their warehouses awaiting
transportation, CT prices that will justify
them In selling.
II is certain that the tardiness Of the
wheat crop in reaching places Of ship
ment is not entirely owing to the fault
or stubbornuess OF producers and hold
ers. The season has been one unusually
backward; grain has ripened slowly,
and harvesting has been interrupted by
frequent showers. These last have not,
however, continued long enough at one
time TO damage crops, but have wrought
much delay. Soon will come the season
of rest and jubilee for farmers. Some
Of them, it is true, do not avail them
selves of il; but they may and should
do so, both for the benefit of themselves
and families. The great annual jubilee,
the state Fair, is close upon US, and
every farmer who can possibly do so,
should load his wagon with his wife
and children, tents and provisions, and
drive Salemward at that time. What
/ fit is tiresome and dusty, and fraught
| with some inconvenience The cordial
hand-grasp Of numerous friends will re-
pay this, and those who keep their carr
and eyes open will find incidents, and
retain memories of Fair-time sufficient
TO enliven the dreary monotony Of many
n winters hour. As a social benefit, &
gathering of this kind cannot be over
estimated. Almost the only disagreea,
ble feature attending farmers life il
this State is want of society, and this il
true especially i'm the winter season
The only permanent remedy for this Il
more population and smaller farms
But while this cannot be had for thu
asking, it is the duty Of persons so stu
ated to improve every opportunity pos
sible for association with their fellows
thereby performing the friendly an,
mutual service Of improving each other
To ali those who have worked 81
faithfully in sowing and garnering tn
. haryests, to the men, women, boys ant
girls who have performed the labor o
the year, We wish a pleasing season o
social recreation, followed by winte
. of peaceful rest and contentment.

WOMEN AS PHYSICIANS.

Foremost among the professions,
which, during the past decade, women
have entered with credit and profit TO
themselves and benefit to the world, is
the medical profession, and in none do
they take higher rank, and for noneare
they more eminently fitted by nature.
Medical colleges have been behind
none in obstinate attempts TO rule
women out Of their walls; their doors
have usually turned slowly back on the
creaking hinge Of reluctance, or been
fast bOlled by Injustice, while custom
and prejudice held obstinately to the
keys. Slowly, however, and inch by
inch, have these grim guardians been
thrust aside, by the steady march fpub-
/ lie sentiment, until now more than one
medical institution in our land has per
manently displaced the lOud-mouthed
| janitor, who with his time-honored at
tendsnts have, though most ungracious.

maiden equal rights.
Golden opportunity had only TO pre-
sent herself to be welcomed, and the re-
cult is that to-day some of the most sue
cessful physicians in our Eastern citiei
are women. The reasons why womeI
should be educated for physicians, il
numbers sufficient to give needful treat
ment in this capacity 20 their own sex
are too numerous to repeat, and to,
potent to every thinking mind to nee'
; repetition. And when with equal oppor
tunities comes equal competing in tn
medical profession, women doctors vii
take the place, as they should, and tha
universally, by the bedside Of their sis
tiers, and these latter will wonder tina
the old state OF affairs was ever tolerate
by respectable women.

BE YB THEREFORE PERFECT -


The great volubility which the gov
erning half Of mankind have long dis
played in exhorting women to prepare
themselves to properly discharge the
duties OF wife and mother has been wit
messed by all who have made them
selves acquainted with the literature of
the present and several past decades.
The sermons-and their name is le-
gion-which have been preached TO
mothers relative to the proper training
Of their daughters, have, with perhaps
slight variations, been founded upon
this text: Bring up your daughters TO
be wives and mothers; all other train
ing, all other study is superfluous.
The fact that good wives and moth
ers necessitate good husbands and
fathers seems strangely enough to have
been forgotten, or as strangely ignored,
by these gratuitous and self-constituted
advisers.
Seldom indeed do We meet with a
chapter of advice of this description to
young men. Never a word is said 10
them exhorting them TO cultivate quail
tiles that will render them fit compan-
ions for these angelic creatures that
moralists try so hard to manufacture out
of feminine humanity, calico and gra-
tuitous instruction. The plain truth Of
the matter is, that patience, forbear-
ance, unselfshness and general amia-
bility, are not more essential to o good
wife than to good husband. That il
is much easier to exercise these and
kindred graces toward person who is
governed by like sentiments, than
towards petty tyrant, who lays great
stress upon these as lgOmdnly virtues
but considers them not at all essential
/ to manliness. That woman does moi
exist who can treat such a person, ever
| though he be her husband, with unya
rying kindness, patience and forbear
ance, and it would be no credit to he
or benefit to him to do so, as in so doing
she would only stultify her womanhOoC
and eventually obliterate her self
respect, while his selfishness, being pam
pered, would grow and increase. lie

which contaminates the one cannO

young men become worthy Of resPeC
and esteem, and love founded upon thes
cannot fail to be enduring and Pre-
duetive Of happiness.
Perfection will possibly never be al
tanned by any one, until safely past th

BE YE READY.

We hope that Woman Sufiragists are
busily circulating the petitions that have
been sent to them. Remember, friends,
that they must be sent in next week.
Remember also that one week from next
Tuesday is the time appointed for the
meeting Of the State Association at
Salem. Plan your work, make ready
your resolutions, and arrange your ideas
generally, and let us have harmonious,
active and working session. Let MEM
bers of the Association labor to secure
that respectful, earnest consideration
from our lawmakers, that the import
ance Of our claims demand, and there is
no fear that they will not intelligently
and justly respond "aye," when their
names shall be called upon the final
question.

SHALL We PUBLISH ?

We are exceedingly sorry to see that
one Calvin B. Mcdonald, the recently
imported editor of the Salem Statesman,
despite a naturally inspirational genius,
has retained so much of the dregs Of
recent drunkenness that he cannot
wholly rid himself of the lees, even
when trying TO he sober, and therefore
that he cannot act the gentleman long
at time, for the life of him.
Not long since, the editor of this pa
per, becoming justly aroused at his con-
tinued and wholly uncalled-for assaults
on her personally, e1ervesced in an edi-
torial addressed TO him, admOnishing
him to amend his ways, and alluding TO
some very recent bad habits in the un-
fortunate egors California career. Upon
second thought, and wishing TO be mer-
ciful to him, rs well as just to the pub
lie, we sent him copy of the editorial,
with an explanatory letter stating that
we would withhold publication if he
would apologize appropriately for his
editorial rudeness. In a few days, with
the fear of that forthcoming editorial
before his eyes, Mcdonald said in the
Statesman:

Converted to Summers Doctrine.

Our Illinois House of Representatives
has concluded not to forcibly take money
from the peoples pockets to build monu-
ments on every battle field where an Hi
nois soldier fell doing his duty. THIS whole
system of con6scating peoples property
to build monuments, paint pictures, and
carve statues liz honor of deadly con
fiict between brethren of the same family
is all wrong and we are glad to ses the Hi
nois House haye the courage to stop it.
If people, out of their own voluntary
means build monuments, the public have
no right to object-but when Congress or
a Legislature takes by force the money Of
every citizen for the purpose of commem-
Grating an unfortunate strife between
brethren of the same family, those who
don't approve of it have right to object
We commend the Illinois House for its good
sense in this regard.
