SOMETHING TO PONDER.

With this week will close the law
making labors of our Legislative solons.
Since the infamous record made by the
House upon the Woman Question the
Suffragists have determined to bring
the Senate to a direct vote upon the
same issue. Consequently, on Monday,
Hon. Joseph Engle introduced a resolu-
tion to amend the Constitution of the
State, allowing citizens to vote without
regard to sex. The vote stood: Ayes
Bristow Und.), Cornelius Rep.), Dolph
(R.), Engle (R.), Hanna (R.), Lee (R.),
Owens o., Richardson (R.l, Smith R. },
Van Cleave o., Watson R.), Webster
R.)-12; Noes, Barnes o., Braly
Dem.l, Clark o., Crystal o., Good
man, o., Haley o., Herren 3D.,
Hirsch (R.), Jewell o., Munkers a.,
Myers 3D., OHield d., Savage 3D.,
Tolin d., Mr.. President (D.)-17.
1t will be seen that Of those honorable
members who voted aye all were Re-
publicans except three. OF these excep-
tions all were Independents before they
came to the Senate but one-Mr. Van
Cleave-who was elected as an Inde-
pendent, but now declares himself a
Democrat. 1t may be that this one
righteous vote is what the Democratic
party must have to save it from future
Oblivion. But we wish especially to
call our Woman Suffrage friends, who
have been led off by the spurious Gre
form'' movement, falsely styled Inde-
pendent, to the fact that this movement
is the sole cause of the defeat of the HUI
man Rights bill in the present LegisIa-
ture.
Everything, however, is pointing to
the fact-foretold by us a thousand
times within the past two years-that
the Republican party is being forced to
complete the work il so gloriOusly began
when compelled by its political neeessi-
ties to enfranchise the negro. Evil
IDENTIFY the women have nothing to hope
for from the Democratic party. Grand,
individual Democrats there are in
goodly numbers, who long to see their
party advance to the front, but they are
in a hopeless minority, and we pity
them because their company is bad.
And as to the Independents-bah! All
they can do, as a party, is to be the
willing cats paws Of the old fogy rulers
in the Democratic organization. Can
you not see it, gentlemen AID.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE AND SOCIAL
SINS.

The question of Woman Suffrage Is in
itself so simple, and the issues that it
Involves are so distinct from the many
questions with which our opponents
would fain load it down, that it is i'm
possible to conceive how any discrimi-
mating person can suffer them to be COM
plicated.
What, for instance, have the many
phases of the great social problem to do
with the great question as to whether
one-half OF the citizens of the United
States shall continue to be taxed with
out representation and governed with
out consent?
We should like to hear a good reason
advanced, by those who oppose woman's
enfranchisement,O on the ground that it
will cause dissention in families, be pro-
ductive of free divorce, or most horrid
bug-bear "free love" Assertions are
numerous enough, but unfortunately for
those who oppose US upon this ground,
assertion, however positive and dog
matieal, is not argument. The simple
fact is that Woman Suffrage is not more
closely allied to social Irregularities than
is manhood suffrage. That neither in
point of fact, have any relation to the
odious doctrines Of free love.
Social Irregularities have existed ever
since the world was, and that they exist
in greater proportion when woman are
oppressed than when independent, is
reasonable to suppose. AS well attempt
TO tack theft, murder or any other crime
in the calendar, to the issue of impartial
suffrage. All these things had an ex-
istanee long before the Suffrage Move
ment was ever inaugurated, and they
Will continue to exist to a greater or
less degree while time endures; although
when the equality of the sexes is an es-
tablished fact, the probabilities are that
crime of every variety will gradually
diminish. Let US then have done with
the declaration that Woman Suffrage is
allied to the great social denominations
that have recently been unearthed, and
detailed with such disgusting minute
ness; recognizing the fact so potent to
common sense, that these things have,
as we said before, no more bearing upon
Woman Suffrage than they have upon
manhood suffrage, and no more bearing
upon either than either have upon the
eXistance of an open Polar Sea.

Rev. a. H. Bradford's lecture, ga
Jerseyman among the Webfeet," is
being severely criticised by the Eastern
Oregon journals. They contend that
the reverend gentleman, by merely
journeying along the banks of the
Columbia, could form but meagre es-
innate Of the vast resources of the east
ern portion of our State. nreply TO his
statements concerning the poverty or
the country, the Baker City Herald de-
clares that there is gold enough in the
hills of Baker county alone to buy the
little State which the reverend gentle
man should never have left" The lee
turer, although doubtless intending to
be just, evidently did injustice to the
portion of our State to which reference
is made, and the Journals representing
the interests of the people thereabouts
are Justly offended.

a new paper, the Republic, designed
to be the organ of the Republican party,
has recently been established in New
York City. Thurlow Weed, Senator
Conkling, Ex-Governor Morgan and
Macarthur, Collector of the port of New
York, are mentioned among its hackers.
The paper opened with a circulation OF
over thirty thousand, and advertising
worth $4,000. These, together with a
capital Of half million, entities it to
the expectations entertained of making
it the leading Republican organ of the
Empire City and State. From its pros
pectus we quote the following:
The paper Will be complete in all its editorial
and news departments, and will devote special
attention 10 financial and commercial reports
and comments In politics the Republic" Will
aim 10 be strictly Republican in principle, and
give the party an intelligent and CONSCIENTIOUS
support.

rate mention, but though we examined
them with interest, we must confess
that, being nothing but a woman," we
know very little about threshing ma
chimes, plows, reapers and like useful
and substantial "farm furniture" The
stock exhibited would do credit to a
much older State than ours.
But the pages of scribbling at our side
remind us that we must begin to sum
up. The Oregon State Fair for 1874 was
certainly a success numerically, there
being present at the races on the after
moons of Thursday and Friday, accord
ing to various estimates, between fifteen
and twenty thousand people. 1t is said
to have been a success financially, the
Society having realized the sum of S14,-
600 or thereabouts. If we judge from
the universal testimony of those who
attended, We should say that it was q
success popularity. Socially it was a
success-enabling friends who had not
met in some instances for years to enjoy a
pleasant reunion around the camp-fires
or in the grove. AS an agricultural dis
play it was successful in proving the ca
pabilities of the State in that line, and
as mechanical exhibition it succeeded
in showing of to advantage the ingenu-
ity aud handiwork of her sons and
daughters. in short, the skies were
bright, the air balmy, pickpOckets
vigilant, criers of side-shows vociferous,
restaurant-keepers obliging, lovers jubi-
liant, old folks good and garrulOus, young
folks good-natured, and every body
happy.
Having dutifully swallowed our al.
lotted portion Of mother earth, we pro-
eeeded to shake the dust of the Fail
grounds from our skirts land truth com,
pels us to declare that q violent shaking
was necessary, and taking passage il
the crowded car, were in due tim,

THE LINN COUNTY FAIR.

Circumstances prevented our attend
ing the ninth annual Fair of Linn
county. So from personal observation
we cannot speak concerning it. The re-
ports that have reached us give any,
thing but glowing account of the great
annual display; in fact, it is spoken of
as a complete failure as an agricultural
exhibition. We quote from the CORE
spondent of the Oregonidn the following
summing up of the exhibition: mo
cattle of any kind were exhibited, only
S3 sheep, five hogs, a few chickens, one
sample Of potatoes, two of tomatoes, and
three Of green fruit. Not n single sam
pie OF wheat, oats, barley, seeds or
cereals of any kind were on exhibition.
Had it not been for the ladies' display of
needle and other handiwork, and their
exhibition of flowers, canned and dried
fruits, and even they were limited, to
what they ought to have been, the Pa
vilion would have been as great failure
as was the stock department. The truth
is, the Fair has degenerated into a mere
race-track, and was it not for the few
honest and honorable men connected
with the management of the Fair, and
that they take an active part in the
races, that department would be disrep-
utable."
Linn county has done better than this
in the past, and we sincerely hope that
the success of her tenth annual Fair
may obliterate, or at least atone for the
failure of the ninth.

The first number of the second volume
of the Baker City Herald reached our
sanctum last week. Mr.. w. 5. James,
formerly of the Portland Business Col
lege, has purchased and assumed edi-
torial control of the paper, has discarded
the "patent outside" and judging from
the initial number, will make journal
at once readable and reliable. In poll
ties it is Republican, and promises to be
the leading journal of Eastern Oregon.
We trust that it may prove a success,
and financially, and we ex-
tend the usual eourtesies of the profess
sion to the gentlemanly editor and pro-
prietor.

Senator Hirsch (Rep.) voted against
the Woman Suffrage bill because "his
lCife is a good deal smarter than he is,
and if she was a Uoter, and he should
want Office, she'd get interested, and
and-he shouldn't like it," Therefore,
from private and altogether selfish rea-
sons, our Senatorial friend declares that,
for fear that his 10ife will control him
if the law doesn't protect him from her
equality with himself, he is justified in
controlling us, through her, with po-
litical despotism which he would die
sooner than endure himself.

WOMEN PHYSICIANS. We learn,
from Common Sense, that the London
4tnles says, that in the only hospital in
London where women can be attended
by female physicians, the influx of
patients is so great, that, to prevent the
work from becoming overwhelming to
the resources of the hospital, it has been
necessary to enlarge the buildings. This
IS practical refutation of the charge,
made by the opponents to the admission
OF women to the professions, that their
own sex would not employ them.-IR-
