Women's Work in Oakland.

Who would have believed one year
ago that the refined, intelligent, eul-
tured, Christian women of Oakland
would to-day be found mingling with
the commonest, and even most corrupt
elements of which our society Is COM
posed, to beard the giant evil Of iRtem-
perance in his den, and struggle with
that self-sacrificing determination and
perslstency which characteriZes tie sex
In the direst and most trying expert
enees in life, while endeavOring To
throttle the monster evil which has
cursed and is still cursing mankind .
Woman's nature has not changed.
She only waited for her hour, aud the
dawning of that hour has cast its first
feeble rays athwart the social sky.
The details of the days work done by
the women of this city on the 30th Of
May, 1874, are familiar 10 the general
reader, | need not repeat them here.
Women did compromise their wOmanly
dignity; they did humiliate themselves
on that day, even tOtalk and argue with
drunken lOafers and -rOwdies, hut these
same poor wretchcs who are too low and
degraded to ever treat women with com
mon civility, are the sons of some
mother who bore them, and kissed their
ruby lips, and taught them what little
good their incOngruOus compositions
contain.
Women were compelled to go among
the lowest and most ignorant and de-
bauched Of the masculine sex, because
they belong to the voting population in
America. If the women themselves
had had an opportunity of expressing
their will at the ballOt-box, they would
have escaped the necessity of pleading
with and importuning others TO do the
voting for them. They would have de-
posted their ballots and returned to
their homes.
The women of California have reason
to be proud of their work in the Local
Option warfare. Without voting them
selves, they have induced their fathers,
brothers, sons, and lovers to vote for
them.
Sometimes their votes were secured
by downright argument, other times by
flattery and smiles, but Oftener by sand
wiches and coffee. The nearest way to
most mems hearts is through their
stomachs.
As toFthe result of the election rs it
relates to Oakland, | am free to express
this opinion, that inasmuch as constitu-
tions and laws are the cOdiiicatiOn of the
will of the people, and the effect and
not the cause of public opinion, there is
no court that dare declare measure un-
constitutional which is the expressed
will of the people. The Local Option
law is not only the expressed will of the
voting population, but it is the will OF
that other half of the people who have
not the privilege Of expressing their
will at the polls.
If the law works hardship to the ma
jority of the citizens, it will in time he
repealed, but that it can or will lee de
clared imperative and unconstitutional
by any Supreme Court, be assured there
is no danger of that. Women OF Oak
land, ! congratulate you on the result OF
this hard fought battle. Your deeds
will be set down to your credit by the
recording angels, and the consequences
of your work will constitute the bright
est diadenI when God comes TO make mp
his everlasting jewels. Homestead.

NEW POSTAL LAw.-The post-ofiice
bill, passed at the last session OF Con-
gress, makes the following changes in
postal laws:
On and after January ], 1879, newspa-
pers and periodicals mailed from the Of
flee of publication to be paid in advance

weekly or oftener, cents n pound and
fraction thereof; less frequently, 5 cents.
To be weighed in bulk and paid by at
taching a special adhesive stamp, pre-
pared for the purpose, TO the package,
or as Postmaster-G General may direct.
One copy of each newspaper to actual

where printed in whole or i'm part.
The new law makes uniformity in
all matter other than letters, newspa-
pers and periodicals, limits the package
to four pounds, at one cent for each two
ounces.
This law fixes the salaries of the first,
second and third-class offices on n new
basis, according to the receipts Of the

ceipts and the full receipts from pOst-of-
flee box rents.

The Future.

Since the Democratic politicians have,
as appears, generally sided with the
liquor interest and against the women,
the probability is that the line drawn
between the parties of the near future
will be on one side Woman Suffrage
and Temperance, on the other side the
liquor interest and the Democracy.
While il is true that the crusade move
ment has not been that which the
Woman Suffragists unite in, for they
prefer law to its violation, and are la
boring for recognition under the tar,
not for aggression without law; vet il
appears lamentably true that the DEM
ocratic party and the liquor interest
combining with that party have braced
themselves against yielding to women
their political rights The absurIity of
this i'm the first place is its most remark
able feature; differences of opinion feel
ing and modes of action exist as promi-
nentiy among women as among men;
all women cannot be classified as of one
view on matters of public policy any
more than OF religion; neither can one
class OF women be representative of all
any m ore than the same among men.
Women have rs truly individuality,
and possibly more so than men; they
certainly have than politicians. Inas-
much as the views of women differ on
the crusade movement, so do they also
differ on the question Of prohibition or
no prohibition, license or no license.
These are matters OF judgment. Tenn
perance or intemperance is question of
morality. If such a thing is ever possi-
BILE as purity in political party, then
will the watchword be, "Do Justice
though the skies fall" The women de-
mand the franchise on the broad ground
of justice, not for any single aim or the
furtherance of any side issue. They de
mand it for self-protection. They de-
nIand it as right which no man or
party of men have right to withhold
from them. The question of how will
they vote has no place at all in the
proposition. They will vote just as men
vote, according to their well-digested
views, but probably with more princi-
pie. But. one thing is certain, their
votes will probably never he bought
with a drink of whisky or glass of ale,
and their principles will not he as con-
venientIy elastic as those of male pOliti-
clans. The chances are that the votes
of the women will be on the side OF good
order, whatever that may be, and if the
Democracy object to that the hurt in
the long run is to them and not To the
women.-Toledo Journal.

CoMPARATIvE DURABILITY OF GOLD
AND SILVER COINs.-It appears from
experiments made in St. Petersburg
that, contrary to the opinion generally
entertained, gold coin wears away faster
than that of silver Twenty pieces Of
gold, half imperials, and as much OF
Silver copecks-coins Of about the same
siz.-were put into new barrels, mounted
like churiis, which were kept turning
for four hours continually. 1t was then
found, on weighing the coins, that the
gold ones had lost sixty-fOur grammes-
the silver ones only thirty-four; but as
the gold pieces were twenty-eight per
cent. leas than those of silver, the pro-
portion is OF course greater to that
amount In favor OF the latter. The sill
yer also contained more alloy than the
gold.

CHAPTER Mi.

Alice Hastings had pursued the even
tenor Of the way marked out for her by
her father during the long summer

in his practical arrangements looking to
the joining Of the O'Toodles and Hast
ings' land, and mining interests beyond
the mountains.
II have but one stipulation to make,
and to that you must rigidly adhere"

MARRIED OR NOT MARRIED.-Mr.
Cough thinks that it is better for
woman to be laughed at for not being
married than to be unable to laugh be-
cause she is married. The marriage that
takes all the laugh out of woman, like
the sunshine that takes all the sweet
ness out OF the grape, is an exceedingly
suspicious commodity, and ought to
give the divorce doctors something to
do. But the idea Of trying to reconcile
woman to an impaired life because an
other woman found it uncomfortable, is
as absurd as to try to keep her from eat
ing apples because of Mother Ewes uh-
fortunate pomolOgical experience
