DO YOU ASK WHY

The Louisville Cowier-JounoL has
the following just remarks upon the
Temperance movement, now so general
throughout the Union:
Treat the gentlemen as they treat you; meas
ure them by the standards by which YOU are
measured by them, and the accesslons TO the
ranks OF Temperance Will surpass your most
sangulne expectations
II a woman is addicted to the excessive use OF
ardent spirits, are men still ready to take her
10 their bOsoms with merely a sigh of pity
No; the sentence is more stern and severe, and
shall we add-more just. She is banished
from respectable society, and her character
considered wrecked. Have you not sufficient
nerve and moral force to exact as high stand
ard of virtue OF them? Instead OF boiling over
in public and being lukewarm in private, boil,
II you wish, but try the effect of freezing. You
ladies who are unmarried should acquire sufi-
Client dignity and strength of character to refuse
to associate with drunkards, even II they have
sober intervals Let young men understand
that If they love ardent spirits better than they
do you, you consider them already welded to a
more alluring mistress, and are not disposed
to become bigamist. Is this asking too much
OF you? Then go on in your crusade against
[
upon the accursed traffic, and compel the
vender to close his 'front.' doors. Then in the
evening rest your head upon the bosom OF his
sodden patron, and while you are inhaling the
sweet frsisance of Bourbon and lager, let your
mind repose in consciousness of duty well
done.
There is always one reason, however,
why women cannot, while they are de-
barred from equal political rights with
men, treat men as they, under the same
circumstances, would treat women.
That reason is base and mercenary
one, yet who shall say it is not sufii-
cient? 1t is because men have the
money of this world, and are most Law
ish of it with women who ignore their
vices, and smile sweetly upon their pee
cadilloes. Now, since bread and butter,
and cloths, and ones living generally
must be had, and we have to ask our
lords for these things, it behootes us to
act as though, 'having eyes, we see not,
and having ears, we hear not" and
having noses, We smell not. But give
us fair chance to earn our own bread
and butter in our own way, and the
Journal editor will learn how long we
rest our heads upon the sodden bosomsD
OF the patrons of whisky shops.

sURRENDERS THE BOOTY.

We see by dispatches to the San Fran
cisco Chronicle that the ''incorruptible
Sammy" who has been going to origi-
nate "new party" under the guise of
an "honest Politician" has been caught
by the District Court in the act of con-
fiscating c. p. Crandalps property, the
Salem Statesman, and that he, the "in-
eorruptible Sammy" aforesaid, has been
made to disgorge the booty and surrender
his pseudo claim to the proper owner
thereof
Sorry we are not ut home! We want
to see what brother Hill. of the Orego.
nida has to say about the 'incorrupt.
ible" man. Wonder If the mutual ad-
miration society, of which he and Mr.
Clarke were sole members, has been
dissolved?

THE tNOLKSWIRTHi - RECEIVES
WARNING.-Either the praying sister
hood have already entered upon whisky
crusade in this city, CChicagol, by send
ing out scouting parties, as it were, or
somebody took the trouble to play a
practical joke upon Emil Dietsch, the
V0lksWiFth, as he is generally known
among Germans, who is proprietor of
wine-rOOm and restaurant, at No. 1S3
East Washington street. On Yesterday
noon the mail-eaTier presented the fol-
lowing, written on the back of postal
card:
BUREAU OF TEMPERANCE LODGE No.
3, Feb. 10, 1S74.-We implOre and en-
treat you to abstain from the further
sale and use of any Intoxicating liquors.
We are pledged and bound together by
solemn vow to close every saloon in
Chicago, and hope to have your CO.
operation. If agreeable to you we will
inaugurate the movement in Chicago
in your saloon, and will visit you in a
body, headed by that good man, DR..
Dio Lewis, on Saturday evening, at
o'clock, to hold a prayer-meeting. By
order of the ladies of the lodge.
The receipt of this communication
created immense hilarity among his
guests, and numerous champagne eorks
flew skyward on the strength of it. Mr..
Dietsch, who is an expert in mimicry,
rehearsed some of the eXhortations he
proposed delivering on the occasion OF
the visit of the BetSchWeSter, and the
fun ran tast and furious. The VOtkS-

A FEW THINGS THAT ARE SU-
PREMELY RIDICULOUS.

To see a person who habitually de-
nounces the Bible, and constantly and
unblushingly sets at naught its most
simple and sacred precepts and injunc-
tions, assume a look and tone of lordly
superiority, while he quotes Scripture
to prove the subordinate position de-
signed for women in the family, State
and nation.
To see n woman who possesses the
brain power Of the matrimonial firm,
and per consequence directs and controls
the family, think to render others blind
to the true state of the case by asserting,
with sorry attempt at meekness, her
belief that "the man should he the head
of the family" To hear the husband
of the same, the man aforesaid, POM
pously declare ''that he is master in
his own house,
To hear man declare that 'if my
wife did thus and so (attended a Woman
Suffrage Convention or Joined the Tenn
perance Crusade, for instanee) would
not live with her." leaving one to sup
pose thatin thisdire event the misguided
woman would be the only sufferer.
To hear the same man in the next
breath deplore the frightful prevalence
OF divorces, the frequently trivial cause
of separation, and grow pathetic over
Che sad condition of the children thus
deprived ola parents care.
To hear the declaration that woman
who behaves with becoming modesty
and propriety can go where she will
without molestation, and in five min
utes the assertion that she could not go
TO the polls and deposit a ballot with
out insult.
10 see minister remove a quid of to-
oaeeo from his mouth, that he may ex-
hort his brethren to self-denial and
other of the Christian graces among
which We may reckon cleanliness.
10 hear an untidy and inefficient
mother Of an unkempt and disortlerly
hock declare that her mission is to
bring up children.

holy war shall, under the point of a sol
dier's bayonet or under the stroke of pO-
lice club, fall down wounded or slain,
that day there will be fire kindled in
this country, fire Of Indignation and
national wrath that ali the waters of the
Mississippi and Ohio and Hudson can
never put out; and it will keep on-that
influence will keep on rolling as with a
besom of destruction, all over this eOun-
try, until the last liquor shop and the
last gin store and the last brewery shall
be trampled out under the feet of an in
dignant people.-De Wit Idtmdge's

LETTER FROM SALT LAKE.

To THE EDITOR or THE NEW NORTHWEST:
have not lost sight of you or your
valuable paper, but still feel an interest
in the work of woman's enfranchise-
ment, and with heart and voice work
for its accomplishment; but with our
financial pressure in Utah it is difficult
TO do anything. Here we all vote, and
think we have done nothing more out
of the way than il We bought paper of
pins or box of candles.
At the late city election all, or nearly
all, the Gentle ladies, or women, II like
this word better, voted and their votes
swelled the numbers in no mean pro-
portion.
One gentleman, to deter me from 60
ing, said to me: "You will not go there?"
meaning to the polls. "Why, 1 saw
K-F-, IA notorious eourtesan), there
rs I came along, and she voted"
Ireplied, ''Did you see any of her gen.
tlemen friends voting ?"
"Why, yes, believe 1 did," said he.
"Well," answered, cher vote is as
good as one of theirs"
That was the end of that argument.
While 1 ayres with your unknown
correspondent in regard to the influence
of Mormon women voting, yet every
argument he or she advances against
Woman Suffrage in Utah, holds in re-
gard to Man Suffrage. While do not
desire to be unjust, l am forced to the
conclusion that there is not an indie
pendent vote cast in Utah among the
Saints" and if women are to be dis
franchised on that account, let Con-
gress deal fairly, and disfranchise the
men too. As far as the matter of indie
pendence is concerned, it is a farce.
Brigham might as well cast the vote of
the Territory.
Our lawmakers will find it is hard
matter to take away u right once
granted Our Gentle ladies' like their
rights, and having once enjoyed them,
will not relinquish them with grace or
without an effort. If Congress will give
us Registry law, and enforce the laws
we now have, Woman Suffrage will not
impede, but rather accelerate our prog
ress.
We are watching with interest the ef-
feet of the "woman's whisky war; in
the East, hoping it may result in per-
manent good. Its effect will be good,
even if evanescent. Henry Ward
Beecher once said: at is better to get
excited on the subject of religion, than
never to have any feeling on the sub
ject." So Of the subject of Temperance;
and as women are the greatest sufferers,
it is eminently fitting that they should
take the matter in their own hands
since they have waited so long for
The new Northwest. [volume] (Portland, Or.) 1871-1887, 1874-04-10

will be well for US, perhaps, to. accept
this peaceful revolution of PRAYER
TO avert the sterner Que of blood which
is sure to come sooner or later if this ma
tion is not cleansed of the one foul. ul-
cerous vice which nourishes every other
vice, either private or public, and hard
ems the consciences of the whole nation
Of American men.
While We shall always strenuously
advocate the duty and necessity of TAX
ing proper legal action upon the subject
of intemperance, We must not be under
stood to be against moral suasion in any
torm-we acknowledge its value; and
only shall continue to insist upon fol-
lowing up agitation however successful,
with prompt and decisive law-making.
And we would further insist that even
now the efforts Of the Temperance Cru
saders should be directed toward influ
encing City and State authorities, and
to get Temperance men upon the State
tickets before the June election. Let
them work to defeat the whisky influ-
ence so much relied upon at every cleo
ton in this city and elsewhere. Now is
the golden opportunity, which it would
be madness to neglect; neglecting
which, how shall we answer to the God
to whom we pray, and who permits US
to have it. Every effort must be made,
no possible means neglected; remem-
bering that
''The attempt

THAT MISSING PLANK.

The platform Of the Republican party
for 1874 contains several sound planks,
one of which is the following:
That we are in favor of such legislation TO
regulate the sale of intoxicating liquors as will
restrain the abuses growing out OF indiscrimi-
nate license, and operate as a needful check
upon the growing evils OF intemperance.
But the Republicans will never be
able to carry their best measures until
they get a new element into politics
which is not governed by the whisky
influence. Just so long as men refuse
the only really pure ballots they can
ever again expect to have offered, just
SO long will they continue to founder
in their "filthy pool"
1ou made mistake, brothers, when
you lett out your soundest plank-your
heart Of oak.

THE FMIGRANT'S MONEY VALUE
The United States are paying off the
war debt at a rate which is the envy
and despair of all the Old-fashiOned,
slow-going, ready-mOney countries. No
cunning alchemy, no juggle OF a sink
ing fund, like that which once dazzIed
and deluded Englishmen, can be ae-
eountable for the substantial dimlnutlon
of the American debt. But here IS
fact which throws some light upon the
,,,,starv-the average value of immi-
Grants who flock to the States is OFF,
eiaIIv declared to be el66 l3s. 4d. per
head. According to this estimate,
which comes to us on the authority of
tbe Washington Bureau of Statistics,
the value of a years immigration may
be reekOned at upwards of seven mill
lions sterling.
When we observe one of these long,
struggling patches of Germans and
Swedes, or light-haired SaXons, trudg-
way and steamship, weighted with bum
dies, stolid as driven cattle, possessing
only grief and hope and through steer
age ticket, we are hidden to estimate
them as worth almost their weight in
silver, as convertible into El66 1Ss. 4d.
per head if delivered in good condition
at New York. The Old World shoots
its surplus population upon the New,
and the New reaps an unearned pront
of seven million pounds per annum.
Well, what will be the compound inter
est? Well, that would Ofitself lfeXtlngulsn
the American war debt.-LicefP0os

their protectors ~ to do something
and save their husbands and sons, and
daughters, too, from one common ruin.
In this vice, perhaps more than any
other, the "sin of the parent is visited
upon the children to the third and
fourth generations" SO, with the hope
that the good work may go Oh, 1 bid
them God-speed.
You are just entering on very excit-
ing political campaign, and I shall
watch its progress with interest
to see the effect upon the subject
in which you are engaged heart and
soul. That you may be able to report
progress, if not success is the earnest
wish of SYBIL.
