SOMETHING NEW.

We have received notice Of the forma-
tion Of a "Young Mems Woman Suf-
frage League" In New York city, with
J. X. H. Wilcox as President. The
first regular public meeting was held on
the 18th Of the present month, at which
time an address was given by Fuller
Walker, II. D. The address was fol-
lowed by discussion, with free plat
form under five-minute rule, and to
this discussion the opponents of Woman
Suffrage were particularly invited.
1t ls'pleasing indeed to see the young
men Of the country coming up to the
help of the weak against the mighty,
and banding themselves in League to
work for the recognition OF the political
rights 50 long withheld FROM their
mothers and sisters. 1t is always en-
couraging to reformers, and argues well
for the speedy success of the reform
when those who are in the morning of
life become its advocates, bringing to
the work minds as yet unbiased, ener-
gies unexhausted, and enthusiasm, with
out which it is impossible to lay sue
cessful siege to the strongholds Of Gus
tom, ignorance and prejudice. These
fOrtresses must eventually capiiulate
before the legions of reform.
Success to the "Young Mems Woman
Suffrage League" OF New York, and
may their efforts for the enfranehise-
ment of woman be unflagging, their ar
guments be- born of wisdom, and may
justice and truth be their watchword.

GIVE TO THEM THE OPPORTUNITY.

The absurdity of women attempting
10 work in politics without the only
potent instrument whereby anything
political may be accomplished, may,
and doubtless will, be seen in the recent
abortive efforts OF that brave and con-
scientious band, known as the temper
ance CRUSADERS, in our city. If this is
not sufficient TO convince all that wom-
an without the ballot is political non
entity, they have but to cast their eye
southwark as far as the "Golden State"
and recall to mind the outrageous, al
most brutal treatment, which this in
telligent class of non-voters recently re-
ceived at the hands of the voting rabble,
who, because they possessed this advan-
tage over women, dared to treat
them with contumely and violence.
These women, anxious for the triumph
of Local Option, suffering, many ofthem
to an extent that can scarcely be real
lied, from the curse eofintemperate faith
ers, husbands and brothers, in utter
disgust and despair at their political
helplessness, sought to exercise some OF
that influence which men so vauntingly
accord to them, and by soft, persuasive
acts-(bah n-control the votes they had
no power to Offset with their own. The
result was, that, In the humiliating con-
dition Of suppllants, they were made
targets for the coarse wit, rude sneers,
and almost brutal violence of these vot-
ing demJons, who carried the day for
the whisky interests.
We agree with q contemporary that
until women can vote they will proba-
bly, never accomplish anything by at
tending the polls, not because they are
women, but because they are non-vot-
ers."
Women, do not recent events convince
you that you have long enough assumed
the attitude Of suppliants? Is it not far
more unwomanly to kneel in the dusta
the portals Of saloons, there to hear your
holiest prayers burlesqued, your motives
assailed, your characters maligned, than
in the conscious dignity of intelligence
to deposit ballot which, being silent,
shall yet speak for you? Or is it less
womanly TO vote yourself than to
button-hole drunken voter and en-
deavor by argument or entreaty to
cause him to vote to suit you, and per-
chance fail TO accomplish that for which
you have thus stultified your woman
hood? MOI Give women the oppor-
tunity and they will prove themselves
womanly, just as now, from lack of
legitimate opportunity to work politi-
cally, they sometimes act as if bereft of
good Judgment and womaniy instinct.

AN OUTRAGE.

The streak of Governmental economy
which has recently turned some humid
reds of women out of employment in
Washington, has extended to and ruled
in the councils Of the School Board in
this District. and they have gone TO
work TO practice economy in the wages
OF our women teachers. From striking
of $500 from the wages Of the First As
sistant In the Central School, down
through all the lower grades, this reduc-
tion of salary has proceeded, leaving
not the wages of one woman as before,
while the wages of but one man have
been lowered. This last was doubtless
done TO sugar-coat the enormous pill
which the Boarl propose to make the
women teachers swallow.
II necessity for a more economical
distribution of the school funds exists,
would not the object be as readily ac-
cOmplished by taking few hundreds
from the wages paid the City Superin-
tendent for his nominal services, or by
taking q small amount from the salary
Of each male teacher, a salary out of all
proportion to the services rendered d?
Why, if q reduction must be made,
must the $3.50 salary be reduced, and
the $500 or $1,000 salaries be untouched?
Is complaint made that these teachers
are not faithful in the discharge OF duty,
or that they are inefficient? Mo- What

cial rights which men are compelled to

AS FALSE AS oonTEMPT1BLE.


To such persons as have not already
had more than a surfeit of the digusting
scandal that drags its hideous length
through the columns of the papers, we
commend the perusal Of the Bulletin Of
Wednesday.
The incidental mention Of the names
OF Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan
B. Anthony, in relation to the Beecher-
Tilton scandal, gives the immaculate
editor of this disreputable sheet u
chance for which he is ever waiting, to
attempt to throw odium upon the
Woman Suffragists of the country. For
tunately, however, his attempt is futile,
for it is vastly more Of q benefit to any
cause for such men as James O'Meara to
oppose it, than his advocacy could pos
sibly be.
His words of condemnation for these
women, for having once heard Of the
scandal, are more severe than any in
which he has as yet declared his disap-
proval of the conduct Of the leper in
sanity garb, the priestly hypocrite,
who for years praeticed the doctrine,
which they are falsely accused of teach
ing, or at least of tolerating.
The public work and private life OF
Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B.
Anthony need no vindication. Nor is
it necessary to refute the direct charges
or indirect innuendoes which this ma
licious falsifier brings against the mass
Of Woman Suffragists throughout the
country. To the assertion "that it can
not be denied that they tolerate free
love and those who believe In or prac-
tiee its Doctrines" we here give the
most emphatic denial and challenge
the proof.
a person who can't make a successful
argument against Woman Suffrage, but
eagerly seiZes upon every conceivable
pretext to make a contemplate point
against it is powerless to do it harm.
Our own words fail to express our alb
horrence Of such n man, so we turn him
over to the tender mercies of Pollock,
who declares that
''The words that would sufficiently accurse
And execrate such reprobate, had need
Come glowing from the lips of eldest hell.'
In conclusion we would refer this pi-
Gus waller, who, in his Tuesdays issue,
declares that the columns OF every paper
which he has yet seen or heard of "is
filled with the disgusting details of this
scandal, E" to the files of the NEW NORTH
WEST, in which until this article, which
was prompted by o'Aleara's own want
Of truth and deceney, the name OF
Beecher-Tilton has not appeared.

Mr.. ELI0T'S LECTURE.

The announcement of a lecture on
"Comets" by Rev. T. L. Eliot drew
good audience both as to numbers and
intelligence, to the Masonic Hall on
Tuesday evening. The lecturer pre-
sented, in a pleasing and instructive
manner, many facts relative to these er-
ratio visitors, that have in times past
caused so much of wonder, terror and
speculation. His remarks were illus
trated by numerous drawings OF comets
that disappear and re-appear in periods
varying from 675 to 81 years, showing the
orbit Of many of them, and clearly de-
fining much that had doubtless before
been uncomprehended by most Of his
audience.
He also set the fears of the timid
at rest concerning the possible event of
a comet striking our earth, by declaring
that such an event had taken place few
years since, and that a meteoric shower
was the only result. AS proof of the
extreme lightness Of the substance com
posing the tails Of comets, he stated that
stars We're plainly visible through a
thickness OF 9O,OOO,OOO miles of this
ethereal substance, which follows them
at such astonishing velocity through
space.
a synopsis OF the lecture cannot DO it
justice, indeed, full report seould not,
as to be justly appreciated it should be
heard

A W0MAN's INVENTION.

1t is certainly meet that woman
should display her inventive genius in
a manner that will benefit women, by
relieving them, or such of them as the
"heathen Chinee" has not already re-
lieved, of the drudgery of the dreaded
washing day" Such, evidently, is the
opinion Of our enterprising friend, Mrs.
Barnes, of Olympia, who has invented a
washing machine, which will lift bur-
den from the weary shoulders of many
a feeble wife and mother, and deprive
the day which "week smooth sliding
after week brings on" Of much Of its well
known toll. The lady inventor is now
In this city experimenting the manu-
facture of her machines, upon which
she has received patent. We have
examined the machine and are satisfied
that it will wash, and one disposed to
question our judgment in the matter
would do well TO call and examine for
him or her self, at the establishment of
the manufacturer, David Cole, on First
street, between Morrison and Yamhill.

IMPROVEMENT OF THE UPPER
WILLAMETTE.

Capt. George G. Smith, of the Gov
ernment snag-boat Uncle Sam, informs
us that that craft is doing good service
in clearing distractions from the upper
river. She is now operating in Gervais
Slough, and thence will proceed as far
UP as Lone Tree Rapids, and work her
way down. 1t is the intention TO con-
tinue the work without interruption
until the annual rains prevent, by caus-
ing a rise In the river. Farmers and
shippers of the upper valley will posi-
bly, derive some benefit from the $500
appropriated for the purpose Of improv-
lug navigation. All are Interested In
the means employed to render transpor-
tation cheap, safe, and speedy.
The new Northwest. [volume] (Portland, Or.) 1871-1887, 1874-07-31

The Examiner thus gives utterance to
a sensible opinion concerning the freak
of Governmental economy which in
duced the recent discharge of.S75 women
from the Treasury Department.: ave
believe that where women possess quail
ifieations for work, such as in these
Treasury berths, they should be given
preference over such men as, because
they have votes and Influence obtain
them and hold on TO them when q Sc
we're fit Of economy attacks the Gov
ernment.' 1t isSshameful to see these
poor women slaughtered on the plea of
retrenchment and reform, while the
President still retains his S25, 900 per
year extra and back-pay granted in de-
tiance OF the letter and spirit of the Con-
stitution which he has sworn to obey.
1t is mockery of reform, and an insult
to common sense and decency to call
this economy. If real reform in the
civil service is meant, 1t is not going to
be effected by discharging few poor
women, whose beggarly pittance at best
scarcely supports existence, while the
great officials of the Government revel
in the fruits Of back-pay andcperquis-
ties, purloined, rs 1t may justly be
termed, from the Treasury Of the United
States"
