ZONE FEMALE ooPYIsr. .

We call special attention to an article
from New York Tribune in this issue
under the above caption.
Could Horace Greeley have foreseen.
less than two years ago, the significant
fact that the Iri6meS themselves of to-
day would be leveled in such mastery
fashion when he then promulgated that
woman must not vote, because man
made it his business to protect her,
wouldn't he have changed his tactics I?
But the world moves, and it is a pleas
ing fancy to us that great journalists
and statesmen who have made mistakes
in the earth life, are permitted, after
seeing the error of their ways in the
mystical beyond, to use their newly en-
lightened influence to rectify the blum
ders of material existence. That Hor-
ace Greedy, emancipated from the dross
and selfishness that closed his earthly
career, is now permitted by the Al
mighty TO use his clearer spiritual Wis
ion in tightening up the course Of the
New York Tribune we find great JOY in
imagining. Certainly no other journal
has done so much to retard the woman
movement, and TO no other so rightfully
belongs the work of undoing its mis-
deeds.
Why was it necessary TO depose zone
female copyist" in the federal employ E?
Simply because that copyist could not
vote. Nothing could be palmer than
the TTiJwic's statement, and nothing
more to the point than lls argument.
Man does not protect woman. Mil
lions Of women are to-day suffering the
bitterest provocations in this so-called
land of plenty. IL behooves them to
protect themselves. With the ballot
they can secure protection; without it,
when thrown upon their own resource es,
they are placed in perilous positions,
for does not the history of Zone female
copyist" prove that all dependent,
working women are living at the mercy
Of the voting class

4 PARTING WORD.

Again we must urge upon our friends
the necessity of sustaining the New
NoRTHwEsr. We are compelled to
leave home without having time TO set
tle our business as,we desired. If every
ono If Won who are in arrears fol- sub
scr;ntions will at once forward the same
10 our office, you will enable us to 60 on
easily with work which is wearing
upon us fearfully at present, because of
the financial anxiety connected with it.
Again: remember to contribute to
these columns regularly during our alb
sence. This work is yours as well as
ours. And while We are away in dis
tant leeture-field, engaged in earning
money to keep the banner floating at
the masthead, may we not depend upon
YOU, dear friends, at home and abroad,
TO contribute both letters and subscrip-
tions to its support ?
We shall be at home again by about
the first of May. How many of you
will organize societies, raise clubs for
the NEW NORTHWEST, and otherwise
carry forward the glorious work of HUI
man Rights during our absence? Be
lieying and hoping that you do more
during our absence than if we were at
home for you to depend upon, We take
reluctant leave of our readers till we get
to San Francisco, where they shall hear
from US again.

A Grand Opportunity.

There are times in the history of the
world when God seems to come down
on earth, and take the management of
human affairs in his own hands. The
flaming comet, the mighty earthquake,
the fearful pestilence, do not more sig
nally display His presence and power
in the natural world, than do revivals,
remarkable answers to prayers, and
great revolutionary movements mani
fest his presence and power in the moral
world.
Hardly have the efforts Of scientists
and infdels to demonstrate the utility
of prayer, and even overturn the throne
of Deity, ceased, ere we see demon
stration by means of the simplist IN
strumentalities, carrying conviction TO
the minds of human beings everywhere
that God is, and that, as ever lie IS
still the Being who hears prayer. so,
too, the discussion of wOman's sphere
of duty, her ability to do good, her
right 10 preach the gospel, etc, Is still
sounding through the land, when, 10
and behold, the providence OF God
places woman i'm the forefront of the
grandest battle ever fought on this con-
tinent. She goes forth to the engage
ment with no armOr but that which
faith supplies. Recognizing a ruling
NOQ aDONef anu believing III the eiIlCacW
of prayer, she advances boldly to the
very den of wild beasts and confronts
the enemies of God an man in their
own dominions. OF woman it NAV
now be said, as never before: She

wrought righteousness, obtained prom
ices, stopped the mouths of lions,
quenched the violence of fire, escaped
the edge of the sword, out of weakness
was made strong, waxed valiant in fight,
turned 10 flight the armies of the
aliens"
a golden opportunity is now offered
to the Christian women of America,
with God on their side, to achieve no
bier victories than were ever won on
heids OF carnage. In every village, in
every city, she should prayerfulIy, trust
fully, enlist in this great movement

WHY ARE THE PEOPLE POOR 2

Eastern exchanges are loaded with
graphic descriptions of the suffering
entailed upon the unfortunate women
and children who are out of employ
ment, funds and credit in the great cities.
While il is a well known fact that
many persons are far less proyident
than others, and that a majority of the
human family always will live in a sort
of "from hand to mouth" style, vet is
equally well known that all laws and
legislation tend TO make the rich richer
and the poor poorer.
Deep-thinking public financiers have
many times practically demonstrated
the fact that no business will justify an
outlay of more than three per cent. pei
annum as interest upon the capital en-
ployed, and that not one business-inter-
est, company or corporation in five
hundred is prepared to 60 on with its
transactions il eollaterals were suddenly
Withdrawn and immediate payment of
principal demanded.
Goid and silver, instead of human la
DOT are falsely made the standard of
wealth, and land, instead of human life
its surety. nv
we nave often asserted aud here reit-
The new Northwest. [volume] (Portland, Or.) 1871-1887, 1874-03-20

crate that the value of gold and silver
as currency is wholly fictitious, and
that individual ownership in land is
just as much relic of barbarism as in
dividual ownership in man. Both ideas
descended to US from the days of feudal
despotism when might made right, and
are unworthy OF being adhered to by
the enlightened statesmen of to-day.
Why one person should own five hun
dred acres of land, or five acres, as an
inheritance, while his neighbor, who
has toiled when he slept, aud eeonO-
miZed when he spent his substance in
riotous living, shall pay tithes Of all his
earnings for lifetime to the man whose
father, grandfather, or great uncle, first
claimed the soil, why this is so, and, is
it right, merely because it is so, are
questions which the famishing poor are
asking, and which, ere another century
shall dawn, they will force the world 10
answer?
If nineteen-twentieths Of the wealthy
men of the land were to-day deprived of
all property except their own just earn
ings-and that is all which any human
being may rightly claim2they would
speedily change places with those whom
they to-day spurn as paupers; and if all
men and women were given at maturity
the right to hold, cultivate and improve,
as taste and ability might dictate, a
spot that they could all their lives call
home, changing their residences only at
their own option, extreme poverty
would cease from Off the face of the
earth; the thriftless and improvident
would have no excuse for idleness and
all could and would help each other.

OREGON STATE PENITENTIARY,
SALEM, March 10, 1874.
To THE EDITOR OF THE NEw NORTHWEST:
II is with unfeigned delicacy that I
avail myself of your permission to adj
dress letter to you at your home in
Portland.
In your lecture here you said that
''yOu would be happy TO send any of our
number who would write to you such
books or papers as he might wish TO
read" And, as there are number of
us who are anxious to read Mrs. Victor 5
story, "Jndith Miles," I hope 10 be
forgiven if l presume too far on your
kindness, in asking you to send me the
back numbers of your paper containing
1t. The paper is welcome guest in our
prison. 1t is passed from cell to cell,
aud read by many with infinite pleas
ure and profit. r
was pleased TO see letter from one
OF our number in the last issue of your
paper The writer forgives you willing
ly for having published it, and feels
himself highly flattered to know that
you esteemed his thoughts worthy to be
given to the world.
am delighted to see that the ladies
are making so grand and successful a
raid on whisky, but fear that but little
permanent good will be accomplished
TIL they are allowed voice in the max
ing OF our laws. Then saloons and all
the haunts of vice will be forever closed.
hope prohibitory law will soon be in
force in this State; but while so many
'Jug-ologistsp are chosen for law-mak-
ers, we need not expect such law TO be
passed. They are ''too sweet" OH gin
themselves to pass law prohibitory to
its sale. Do our Legislators know the
amount Of harm the use of. liquor does
in this State? cannot think they DO,
or they would certainly put a stop to il.
There are at least seventy-ive men in
this prison to-day who have been sent
here through the influence of whisky;
and out of two hundred and sixty that
have neen sent here since / came in
1867, two hundred of them have been
whisky victims. There are men here
now suffering for crimes which they
committed while SO drunk that they
did not know what they were doing.
The new Northwest. [volume] (Portland, Or.) 1871-1887, 1874-03-20

When sober they had no intention OF
hafming anyone; and were not aware OF
having done SO till Informed of the fact
oy the jailor, few hours after their ar
rest. Did they commit the crime. o,
did whisky? The same law that Ijcenced
men to sell them whisky condemned
them to prison for life for crimes com.
mitted while under its influence. 1 fail
to see the justice in such law; but oul
iaw-makers are wiser than !. Perhaps
it is all right.
Whisky and Ignorance are the two
principal causes which lead to the com.
mission of crime.
l am sorry to say that majority Of
Us convicts are lamentably Ignorant.
And, until Mr.. Watkinds took charge
OF the institution, there was no means
OF bettering our condition. He pur-
chased books for those who desired to
study, and loaned many from his pri-
vate library TO those who wished to read
them. He has granted US couple OF
hours each evening to study, and has,
in fact, done all he could for the amelio-
ration OF our condition.
What little know have taught N.Y.
self since coming TO prison. You will
think from my letter that have made
but poor use Of my time. / know that
| might have learned much more; but
| had but little encouragement to study,
supposing That all honorable avenues 10
success would be barred against ME
when. / should be released But feel
encouraged since you told us in your in
teresting lecture that such would not be
the case; and 1 hope ere leave the in
stitution to fit myself TO fill an honora-
ble position in society
Your lecture is still the theme of con-
versation here. 1t will be long ere the
words of encouragement and hope
which you addressed to us will be for
gotten. We long to hear the sound OF
your voice again in our chapel, and
hope when you again visit Salem that
you viii not forget us.
We wish You success in the good and
just cause for which you are so bravely
lighting, and hope sometime to aid your
cause by casting vote in its favor.
Hoping, dear madam, that you will
pardon this intrusion on your time and
patience, as well as all errors, / sub.
scribe myself, Yours truly,
DICK ALEXANDER.

Two years ago Miss Dolly Runkle, Of
Des Moines, Iowa, commenced as aclerk
in the extensive dry goods establish
ment of Knight Brothers, without any
previous experience. A few days since,
MIR. Knight being unwell and unable
TO make purchases that the house re-
quired, the duty devolved upon this
young lady, who bought from samples
seven thousand dollars worth Of goods,
and, TO use Mr.. KS own language, "did
it as well as any merchant in town
could have done it." Success honestly
attained in any occupation is worthy of
commendatiOn, and the success that In
two years time enables an inexperienced
girl to perform the duty Of an expert
enced merchant is as notable as IL is
worthy.

THE QUESTION OF WOIAN'S RIGHTS.
The dispatches have told us within a
few days how the House of Representa-
tives in the Legislature of two great
States = Michigan and Iowa = have
formed an article to be submitted to the
people regulating the elective franchise
and have voted by decided majority to
strike out the word "male'' in said arti-
Gle, which would, we have reason to in
fer, give suffrage 10 male and female
alike. It was quite coincidence that
these great States should perform this
act almost simultaneously, and that the
vote given in each for striking out the
word male was as identical as possible.
There being q difference of only one
vote in the two legislatures, and that
one vote being indivisible, the result
could not be identical.
The Supreme Court Massachusetts,
answering an inquiry submitted by the
Legislature of that State, has replied
that women are eligible to the Office oil
School Commissioner. This opens
field of practical usefulness to our better
halves that we should like to see also
extended to Oregon, for no where else
in relation 70 public affairs, unless In
connection with State and county char-
ities, can woman act to better advan-
tage.
we are assured that Woman Suffrage
i'm Wyoming Territory was not failure
and that it works well enough in Utah.
Certainly the world has ceased to make
light of the subject, and even ridicule
aimed at the leaders of the cause is not
directed at the cause ITSELF We pub
lished lately the principles announced
by the National Grange, and the friends
of Woman's Rights have reason to take
courage from the indications Of progress
making in that direction. n.-StdtesHlGR

TEE NEW TEMPERANCE PARTY.


II will he remembered that the State
Temperance Alliance, at its recent ses-
sion, passed a new party resolution, aud
appointed a committee, whose duty il
should be TO issue a call to the friends of
temperance to meet at some time and
place designated TO take such steps and
adopt such measures rs might seem ex-
pedient ana practicable for organizing a
separate and distinct independent poli-
teal action in the coming State cleo
tion, by the temperance people of the
State. In accordance with this resolu-
tion, and in compliance with his duties
as Chairman of the Committee so an
pointed, Mr.. +. w. Ryan has published
request 10 the friends of temperance
TO meet in their several counties and
elect delegates TO a Convention TO he
in Portland at Good Templars Hall ON
Tuesday the 3lst of March, to take stems
to carry out the spirit of the resolution.
While we are not Of those who expect
to see such party succeed in determining
to any considerable extent the result of
the coming political contest, we are yet
glad to see temperance people at work.
Now that the Temperance Reform is be-
ing so strongly agitated, it is well Ia
bring every auxiliary possible to the
aid of the agitators. And though there
be not the shadow of chance at present
for the success of such party, yet its
advocates may by the earnestness, wis
dom, and harmony of their cOunsels rem
der the minority respectable.

Woman Suffrage in Massachusetts,.

The friends of Woman Suffrage in
Massachusetts have reason to be pleased
and satisfied with the Legislative hear
ing before the Joint Special Committee
on Woman Suffrage, which took place
in the Green Room at the State House in
Boston, on the 18th inst. Although,
from the shortness of the notice, no an
nOuncement of the hearing had been
made in the IFODtdi'S journal, n large
and intelligent audience assembled.
The Committee, most of whom were
present, are composed of the following
gentlemen:
