A LIVE MINISTER.

'Rev. Mr.. Bradford, of New Jersey,
who has lately exchanged pulpits for
season with Rev. Mr.. Eaton, Of the
Congregational Church, in this city,
held a vast audience spell-bound on last
Sunday evening at the Union Temper
ance Meeting in the Methodist Church.
Mr.. B. is one Of the best of speakers.
His utteranee and gestures are studied
and yet natural, his phraseology almost
faultless, his eloquence startling and his
doctrine the finest admixture of cosmo-
politan liberality, religion and common
sense to which we have ever listened
from the lips Of a minister.
He very modestly differs from the
crusaders in his style Of working for
temperance. He contends that there is
morbid sentiment in favor of the
drinker, and too much hatred Of the
rum-seller. Men will quit selling
whisky when men quit drinking it.
The proper way 10 reform men is to lore
them out Of their evil ways. We should
have one of the finest buildings in Port
land, on the best corner, elegantly fitted
throughout, for the accommodation OF
homeless young men who resort to the
saloons, not because they want to drink,
but because they need companionship.
We should have one room devoted to
all manner Of amusing games, another
to music, another TO reading, and q
restaurant attached, where coffee, soda,
ice cream, or anything needful could be
furnished upon call at cost price. This
home should be joint stock concern,
and should be filed with what is neces-
sary to amuse and instruct men. He
didn't like the New York Ledger, but
to please the tastes OF those that did like
IL, he would give them that. He would
not make n speciality OF stilted Quarter
lice and high-toned literature. He
would give men variety. He would
make parlors Of all church easements
and utilize every gift Of God to man to
make men better. 1t is not possible to
get all to live upon 4 common plane or
be governed by one idea. Christians
must amuse men or Satan would, for
men must hare amusemust. We must
make common cause with those whom
We would elevate. Some Of the gentle
mans illustrations were startlingly
vivid.
We regret that we have not space to
follow him further for the benefit of our
readers. Suffice it to say that We be-
lieve that such preachers-enough OF
them would soon crowd all our
churches and fill every hall in the city
to repletion.
Rev. DIR. Atkinson made some excel
lent remarks at the close Of Mr.. Brad
ford's address, and the multitude carried
away in their memories feast Of good
things that will not soon be forgotten.
We congratulate our Congregational
friends upon their good fortune I'm Sc
curing go able minister. Let nobody
fail to hear him.

THE CRUSADE.

We are in receipt of several letters i'll
tended for publication, in which the ac-
ton of the crusaders is severely criti-
cised; but, as the writers desire their
names withheld from publication, we
respectfully decline to print their efiu-
sions. We, however, thank them for
having written, because their thoughts
lend wings to our own; but we should
be much more grateful if, like Mr.
Kuhn, Mrs. Johns, and Mrs. McKune,
they would write boldly over their own
signatures, and become personally re-
sponsible for their own ideas.
One of these writers says that the ac-
tions of women in the crusade are con-
vincing arguments to him against the
fitness Of woman for Suffrage. Now,
suppose that some women have really
been doing something outrageously ri
diculous and wicked in the crusade;
tits hardly to be supposed that every one
would have acted wisely. Does that
prove that women should be denied the
exercise Of inalienable rights?
4 man murdered another in a saloon
the other day. Is that a convincing ar
gument to you, sir, against tue fitness
of man for Suffrage? 4 rule that will
not work both ways may well be re-
jected by wise women.
Granting that women have sometimes
been indisereet in their mode Of con-
Quoting this moral warfare, are men
always so profoundly judicious that they
are capacitated to become all women's
unqualified censOrs
Men will commit excesses when sub
jected TO tyranny. 1t Is natural and
right that they should; but they need
not expect women, of whom they are
born, to submit tamely to that against
which they, being OF like nature, in-
wardly and outwardly rebel.
The tyranny of Rum has been long
and terrible one. Ruin has run riot in
his wake, and strong men, bound with
his madGeniug chains, have sunk by
thousands into driveling idiots. These
rum-soaked victims OF the chains Of ap-
petite have, in their turn, tyrannized
over women, made hells OF homes, and
orphans of children. The voice OF
Iamentation has ascended TO the listen
ing ear Of the Highest, and, borne upon
the Lreezes Of Heaven, the stirring
words have been waited TO the oppressed
wife and mother, Resistance to tyranny
is obedience 10 God"
The time will come when the ami
versaries OF this outbreak OF women
will be celebrated from the Jersey Hills
to the Chehalem mountains. And,
though we do not approve Of all that the
women have done, or may do, we rec
ognize their right to rebel, and we are
proud to see that they have the Spartan
courage to work according to their OWL
ideas Of right and justice. But we, al
the same time, recognize the right o.
every opponent to a different opinion
and, so far as we may have space, We ar'
ready and willing to give all a hearing
only insisting that all personal mattel
be published over the writer's name.

A REFORM" TRICK.

We have learned from the lips Of Mr..
Edmunds, author OF the "Voters' Book
Of Remembrance" circular which has
stirred the pure and virtuous political
"reformers' Of this city into such right
eous outbursts Of degrading invective
against a few conscientious women who
were, through inexperience, led to tread
too roughly upon the corns OF the ten
der-footed, that he knew at the time It
was written that it would throw IA bomb
into the Republican camp, and that he
did it for that very purpose.
Verify, these Independent -reformers
of the filthy pool OF politics' are well
versed i'm "ways that are dark and tricks
that are vain" But it would be fun, IL Il
were not such a serious matter, to note
how readily the Bulletin gobbles the
bait and goes over to the ''reformers"
because 1T. We don't wonder that the

with power against intemperance. They
must be trhipped into this knowledge,
for they are determined, many of them,
at least, land the most noisy and per-
sistent onesl, to manaele woman to the
last. A few more Balls Bluff defeats
and Bull Run disasters are before them,
ere the clergy will issue a united Eman-
cipation Proclamation which shall
shake the shackles from the souls OF
praying women and lead them to de-
mand the BALLOT. These defeats are
coming thick and strong, and the wom-
EMS eyes are being opened by degrees.

WITH SORROW WE SAY IT.


O'Meara, with his characteristic dis
position to deuounce and falsify, per-
petrated the following attack upon the
Woman Suffragists of this city, on the
day following the election of council
men: ''If we are to accept the scenes and
incidents of yesterday as at all akin to
what may be expected to transpire un-
der the projected dispensation of Woman
Suffrage, we beg to be excused if we say
we have had more than enough of it..
Beside the pitiful and objectional
scenes witnessed at the polls, by the OBJ
structive conduct of the ''crusaders," {"
was the much worse and actually
shameful behavior OF those who distrib-
uted that disgustingly vile, wicked,
slanderous and blasphemous sheet,
the Voters Book OF Remembrance
among the multitude. Whenever men
shall so disgrace themselves in an cleo
tion, We shall denounce their vicious
ness aud wickedness in the strongest Ian
guage we can apply. 1t is with pro-
found sorrow and almost with shame for
their sake that we are constrained to say
the offenders in this instance were
women. If such is the reformation
that 'woman's influence at the polls
Is to bring the body. polite, let US ALI
In respect and mercy to the sex, forever
resolutely decline in promotingi it. One
such day is altogether too much"
No one knows better than Mr..
O'Meara that the crusaders, as a body,
are just as violently opposed to Woman
Suffrage as himself. Noon knows bet
ter than he that the objectionable circu-
lar, entitled the "Noters' Book of Re-
membrance," was not gotten up by
women, but by a man, and q stranger
in our midst at that, who through ignor-
ance or malevOlence palmed the excres-
cence upon the voters as the work of the
Temperance League. II women were
beguiled into circulating the document,
it was not because they were Woman
Suffragists, but because certain minis
ters have taught them that they must
not be such.
Our memory goes back, just few
years, when O'Meara, the arch seces-
sionist of the great Rebellion in this
State, accused General Hooker OF bein g
an abolitionist while that same conser-
yative time-server was returning every
slave to the enemy that escaped to his
lines. Now, this same arch enemy tC
freedom calls the crusaders "Suhra.
gists," when their ring-leader, the stub.
born boy who runs the Methodist
Church in this city, commands the
Woman Sufiragists to stifle the voice
of conscience and obey his puny man.

We affirm that the prospects fol

played losing game until they grew
wise enough to discharge him, and tn,

feated at every turn so long as politi.

confidence, is trailing its banner in the
dust.
We say this in sorrow, but the truth
must be told though the heavens fall,

WHAT CAUSES FEyEE. Prof. Buchanan,
of Eng land, claims TO have discovered one of
the causes of typhoid fever. A family in his
neighbOrhool was attacked with a severe
type OF the fever On careful search of the
premises, a spout in the family pump was
found to be coated with sort Of gelutinous
matter. Submitting this to microscopic
investigation, 1t was found to be fungoid
growth, from which spores were constantly
washed away by the flowing water. He fol
lowed up this discovery by minute cxamin-
alton of the outlet of the sewer through which
the drainage of the town flowed, and his
scientific zeal was rewarded by finding fun
gold growths of a similar nature to those in
the pump spout. In the vicinity of this out
let, the fever had also prevailed. Having
cases of fever IN his own family, he followed
up his inquiry by a chemical analysis Of
water drank by the family, and found in it
minute spores OF the same fungus. His con
Clusion is a natural one, that the fever had its
origin in the fungus matter taken into the
system, where it termcnts rs yeast IN beer
and pOisons the blood.
