WOMAN SUFFRAGE AS
ISOLATION.

The sixth Annual Convention of the
National Woman Suffrage Association
was held in Irving Hall, New York, on
the 18th and 18Th ult., Susan b. An
thony presiding. Among the promi-
nent ladies in attendance, were Rev.
Olympia Brown, Mrs. Martha c. Wright,
Mrs. Sara J. Spencer, DIR. Josephine
Mix, Mrs. Frances V. Hallock and Mrs.
Lille DevereuX Blake. The meeting
was very enthusiastic, and was quite
largely attended. The following reso-
lutions were adopted:
WHEREAS, 1t is recognized princi
pie OF our Government that rights not
delegated are retained by the people;
and, whereas, by the genius Of this
Government, no person has a right to
act for another without delegated au-
thority; and, whereas, the women Of
this country have never delegated men
to act for them; therefore,
ReSOlced, That the votes by Susan r
Anthony, Nannette B. Gardner, and
other women, were but the Just exercise
of their natural right Of fself-government.
which no judicial decree can Justly re-
verse; and We recommend the continu-
ance of efforts in that direction, in the
full belief that women have constitu-
tional right to an equal share in the
Government.
ResoLUed, That we rejoice in the recent
action Of the Legislature OF Michigan
in submitting the question Of Woman
Suffrage to Il vote Of the men Of the
State, though common justice demands
the voice Of the whole people.
ReSOlred, Thatas resistance to tyranny
is obedience TO God, we congratulate
those noble women Of Massachusetts
and Connecticut who have seen their
farms struck of under the hammer,
their houses sold over their heads, and
their personal property taken, rather
than submit any longer to taxation
without representation; and we recog-
nize herein the beginning OF conflict
that will end only in the establishment
Of equality between men and women.
Resolued, That We return thanks TO
the Patrons Of Husbandry for admitting
women on equal terms to membership
in their associations, where they are
rapidly educating them to habits of
business and self-reliance, and thus fit
ting them for the political responsible
ties they are soon TO assume.
Resolred, That the long struggle to
obtain the repeal of the Missouri social
evil ordinance, and the difficulty Of pre-
venting the enactment Of like ordl-
nance in Illinois, although triumphs for
woman, are additional proofs Of the ne

FALLEN WOMEN.

By reference TO the cheering news
from Santa Cruz, published in another
column, it will be seen that few dis
reputable women took prominentstan
against the anti-license men on cleo
ton day, and when they became so
noisy as to render proper interference
necessary, one of them slapped a
man in the face. Brother Izer, in
reading the report on Monday even
ing, at first omitted this clause.
After we had made little speech illus
trating the power of the ballot and
woman's need of it to purify the Gov
ernment, Mr.. I. arose and read the
clause above alluded to, doubtless in
tending it as a sort of offset TO our argu-
ment. To this we instantly replied that
woman's first work, when she becomes
empowered with the ballot, will be to
arrest all these poor victims of mans
immortality and misrule, and place them
in asylums for the morally insane,
where they can be cared for and re-
claimed.
II we had women for City Fathers
why woman who has children can't be
a "father" as well as Catholic priest
who has none, we'd like TO know-there
would not be brothel in this city in
one month.
Brother Izer, and all other moral men,
will please note that the wives and
mothers Of men are emphatieally OPP
posed to prostitution, and that the chief
cause OF the opposition Of whisky men
TO woman's enfranchisement lies in
their knowledge Of this important fact.
Prostitution is legitimate outgrowth
Of mans idea that woman's ser is her
only dependence for a support. II is o
natural result OF the pecuniary power
that man holds over woman through his
political advantage. Our greatest faith
in women arises from the fact that so
few Of them are lured by the gold OF the
law-making half of the community to
forsake the paths of virtue and yield
themselves to lives OF shame. Our
brethren will also please note that every
fallen woman is supported by at least
ten fallen men, and if the men need the
ballot for personal protection, by what
law or justice are their victims denied
its advantages

PROGRESS.

The fine auditorium Of the Methodist
Church was well filed on last Sunday
evening on the occasion OF the regular
Union Temperance Meeting. Mr.. IZer,
who was at first 50 seriously opposed to
what he was pleased to call "side
issues" that he did not dare to have
legislation mentioned in connection
with the Temperance reform, is learning
so rapidly concerning its necessity in
abolishing the evils that are now fos-
tered and built up through it that his
sermon on that occasion was almost as
pointed as we could have made it, had
we been giving a lecture upon "inalien-
bic rights" He drew vivid picture Of
the power Of whisky influence in this
city, and dwelt long and earnestly upon
the fact that pure Christian women are
at the mercy Of masculine Lawmakers,
who are kept in their place by whisky
interests.
We are deeply gratified to note the
progress our brother is making. His
heart is right, and has been all the time,
only his head has not been in perfect
unison with knowledge OF the necessi-
ties involved in the settling of the
liquor question. But, at the rate he is
now marching on, he will soon be ready
to put on the whole armor of God, and
then, like Paul, he will most heartily
espouse that which he once prosecuted.
Nor is brother Izer the only one, by
many a hundred, who has begun to
learn Of the power of the ballot, and
woman's great need Of it, since the in
suguration OF this great Temperance re-
Vlvsl. The meetings In the Church
during the week have been literally
Woman Suffrage meetings. This re-
Vival has broken out in the right way
and in the right place. Ministers and
had been prOverbially
lukewarm in coming to the front in our
two years Temperance work in the
State, and We realized that the hand of
the living God was In the work from
the inception Of its present phase; so we
joyfully fell into line, knowing well
that through the inspiration of prayer
and the disappointment OF defeat, the
women who were opposed to the ballot
would be able to grasp the fact that
without it they work against odds
with which they are powerless to effect
ually cope.

A SAVAGE LETTER.

One Carrie +. Young, an. D." a
perlpatetic lecturer upon any side Of any
subject for which she thinks people
will drop the most coin in her hat; a
woman for whom we have done hund-
reds of dollars worth of gratuitous ad-
vertising, and who distinguished her
self in Oregon and Washington Terri
tory by shaping at everything and
snarling at everybody, writes us a saw
age letter, in which she has the audac-
ity to boast that she is repeating the
same malicious and silly ISLANDERS
against US In California which she tried
so Intellectually in Oregon. We should
publish her letter entire il we could af-
ford the space for her superabundant
bile. 1t seems that the fact that wo
have everywhere the entree to the
churches, where she is denied admis-
sion to lecture, is her terrible griev-
ance. She boasts thatshe is proclaim
ing everywhere in California that we
are declared Spiritualist." We sup
pose, as we have no power over Carries
tongue, she is at liberty to declare" us
anything that will ease her spleen,
though what she expects TO gain by II
isn't clear to Us.
We have examined the philosophy OF
spirit manifestations with some care,
and make no secret OF the fact that we
are satisfied that there Is nothing new
ln IL, but that IL Is the same principle
which was understood by Saul when he
called up the spirit of Samuel through
the medium" Of Endor, or that enabled
Moses and Elias to appear to Christ and
his disciples on the mount. The Church
Of which we are, we trust, consistent
member, as well as all other Churches
that will investigate the facts, will ad-
NIT this; but we see no reason why We
should, on that account, break our ale
glance to Christianity, or throw away
the divine teachings and examples ol
humanity's great Mediator. II Carrie
F. Young sees differently, she needn't
wonder that the Churches are closed
against her, for they are built upon
Christ as a foundation rock.
At the close OF her eight-page diatribe,
she says: "You have clear perceptions
OF justice and right. 1t may be from
your loftier standpoint you can see
clearly for me. await your reply"

WoMAK'S POWER FOR GOOD.

Never before were we so completely
strtck with the power of woman for
morality as we were on election day. A
motley crowd of the voting sex was
gathered in front of one Of the saloons
engaged in poking each other in the
sides, swearing, knocking Off hats, cleo
tioneering and occasionally disappear
ing behind the bar to take drinks, when
the Crusaders, some forty in number,
filed along the sidewalk, halted and be-
gan singing a sacred song. The contrast
between these ladies and the roughs who
scoffed at them, with the Difference
paid them by all men with well-devel-
oped frontal brains, augmented our al
ready deep conviction that it is not
change of partisan rule among men
that the people need, but the infusion Of
the feminine element into mans politi-
cal idea, that the restraining influence
each sex will exert upon the other may
ennoble both, and elevate all to the
highest possible standard OF human
perfection

WHAT WOMEN CAN DO.

Never has an election passed off SO
quietly in Portland during the memory
Of the "oldest inhabitant' as on last
Monday. This is entirely attributed to
the ladies who graced every poll with
their presence. In one instance a great
row began, and lady, watching the
affray from her home, was siezed with
asudden impulse to interfere. Running
In amongst Of the excited multitude, and
raising her hands in the attitude Of APP
peal, she began to expostulate with the
enraged dsovereigns and soon succeeded in
making them ashamed OF themselves.
Who ought 10 have a voice in the Gov
eminent? She, or they?
