CHANGE OF NAME.

The name of the Homestead, Dora
Darmore's sprightly and able monthly,
published at Oakland, Cal, has been
changed to The Golden Da,Cn. In con-
cludiDg her remarks upon this change
and the causes that induced 1t, the edi-
tor expresses the hope that it may prove
"the golden dawn of a new era for
woman; the golden dawn of woman's
independence the golden dawn of her
escape from the oft-presented scare-crow
styled precedent; the golden dawn of
her Reinstatement in the possession of
the queendom conferred upon her by the
Arbiter of the world the golden dawn
Of her better preparation for the high
and sacred function of motherhood and
teacher Of the race, consequent upon the
better education of her mental and
physical being, and n higher and nobler
appreciation and compensation of her
life-work; the golden dawn that is to be
the fore-runner of that perfect day when
woman shall stand, intelligent, earnest,
helpful and capable, side by side, with
man in all that pertains to the moral.
social, physical, industrial and intel
lectual advancement of the race" To

WHEN WILL REPUBLICANS LEARN
WISDOM

The recent election returns, which
give the Democrats majority In the
Federal Legislature, is the hand writing
upon the Republican wall that SAYS
plainly, meme, MEME, ,TEKEI., ,UPHARsIN.
Two years ago last May, when the
making Of a new Presidential admins
tration was upon the National topis,
the Republican party found itself as
sorely pressed as now. Its fortunes
were on the wane. The Greeley upris-
ing hadinoculated the multitudes, and
political defeat grinned ghastly smiles
in the face of the party in power. Then,
in its sore extremity, this party yielded
a very little to the demands of the dis
franchised multitudes, giving them q
splinter to grasp, from which they were
led to hope they might be able to
step upon the broad platform Of equal
rights before the law. The disfran-
chised, taking courage from the receipt
of partial recognition, arose en- nldsse,
and, as with the voice Of one crying in
the wilderness, prepared the way for
the further prosperity of the party
which they replaced in power but to re-
ceive contempt at the hands they had
exalted.
The Republican party is the Pharaoh
Of American politics. The heart of this
Pharaoh has been hardened, and it has
decided that, despite its promise, it will
not let the disfranchised people go.
And now, the plaques of Egypt are
upon it. A darkness that can be felt has
clouded its political horizon. The Dem
Oeratic lOcusts have lit upon the fields
of its habitation, and nothing but the
liberation of the disfranchised will clear
it's horizon or sweep from its arena the
on-coming hosts of destruction. When
will the Republican party learn wis
dom?
The Bull Run disaster and Ball's
Bluff defeat of by-gone decade are be-
ing repeated upon its political fields.
And yet it will not let the people go.
Republicans, will you let the Ark be
taken? Rather than do your duty, will
you surrender to the Philistines?
We see that we are somewhat mixing
history In our Biblical illusions, but
We haven't yet covered half the ground.

EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.

DEAR READERS or THE NEW NORTHWEST:
Since last we wrote you, we have met
two fine audiences in The Dalles, and
held forth upon Whisky" and "Poli-
tics" prominent, if not popular subjects,
to which the good citizens were pleased
to listen with grace, applause and
patience.
Master Pentland accompanied US
through the business part of town one
afternoon upon canvassing excursion,
which produced extremely satisfactory
results. We found the people genial,
accommodating, sensible and, of course,
willing to subscribe, in goodly numbers,
to the New NORTHWEST. And Master
Pentland-welI, our friend Yours Truly
would denominate him "brick."
On Friday, the last day of our visit,
our old friend Colonel Fulton kindly ae-
companied us to the home of a farmer
upon Five Mile Greek, where we had
ample evidence of the eorrestness of our
conclusions, formed more than three
years ago, concerning the remarkable
fertility of the ash-like uplands of East
ern Oregon.
Mr.. and Mrs. Floyd came out to these
wilds about two years ago from the East,
and settled upon q hillside where they
began in earnest to cultivate soil that
looks for all the world like last years
leach. They have apple trees two years
old that are as large and vigorous as
those in the Atlantic States at six years.
Peach trees, grown from pits last spring,
will bear considerable fruit another sea-
son. Melons, onions, potatoes, cab
bages, carrots, beets, parsuips and ruta-
bagas grow by the ton while pumpkins
and squashes are by no means outdis-
tanced In their ambitious race for large
proportions. Wheat averaged twenty
four bushels TO the acre with a first or
sod crop, and thirty bushels the second
year.
The chief beauty of these lands consists
in the fact that they are so plenty. Mil
lions of acres are awaiting pre-emption,
aud will all, in a very few years, be
claimed and settled.
''If We only had railroad ~ is the
general cry of everybody. The question
is, when will We get it?
Taking leave OF our intelligent coun-
try friends, we returned with Col. Fulton
to The Dalles, spent parting hour with
Mr.. Pentland's genial family, and then
went aboard the cars, bound for Cello.
An hours ride by rail and we reached
the terminus Of the upper portage,
where the good steamer Tenino received
and made us comfortable.
To-day Saturday we are steaming
laboriously up the Columbia. The rapid
current causes the boat to shake her
sides as she stems the torrent, remind
ing one of a wind-broken horse gallop-
ing up steep hill.
We sympathize with the printers in
the effort they must make to decipheI
this MS, but we beg them not to make
another blunder equal to the last when
they made the "holly kiss the vine-em-
powered i0idoUs of elegant homes"
The widows don't like to be told on quite
so publicly. They prefer allowing 'CiH-
dO1cs to be kissed-in the newspapers.

sons that il is time to pause in our daily
avocatious and offer thanks TO Almighty
God for the mereies and abundance of

tinue to be vouchsafed to US, the earth
has responded to the labor of the hus-
bandman, the land has been free from
pestilence, internal order is maintained

FRIENDLY JOTTINGs.

To THE EDITOR or TIE NEW NORTHWEST:
Your card of September 26th was duly
received, and has met with such pecuni-
ary response as 1 was able to give.
Strange with all the opportunities of
past life that l should still be so impecu-
nious, but so it is. l was at one time
possessed with the idea that money was
an evil and would have nothing to do
with it, preferring to do all by barter,
but experience has taught me that
money, under some circumstances, is not
to be despised.
My friend Mr.. Wood is a recent sub
scriber to the NEW NORTHWEST, and
after it is read by his family it is sent to
relatives in the "Old Northwest" have
the pleasure of putting it in the!wrapper
and directing it to Dewitt, Iowa. The
young lady to whom it is sent writes
that they are perfectly delighted with
it-a precursor, perhaps, of list from
that place This young lady incidentally
mentions that she is afraid to go out
alone at night. 1 mention this in con-
trast with what l saw at the printing
office when 1 was there late in the
evening, recently. Taking a receipt for
my paper, went out, meeting a young
lady coming in. In the dim light l
could distinguish form but not feature,
and it may have been some smart little
old woman for all that l know, but
took it for granted that she was q young
lady. Before 1 left the steps she re-
turned, and passed out into the night,
not into the darkness, however, thanks
to the gaslight. As she walked away
with brisk, business step, she seemed to
me to personify the spirit of the New
NoRrHwEsT-earne fearless and ac-
tive.
My copy of the paper also send
away, but not as whole. My plan is
to cut out the editorials and the story
and send away in letters. Such way
of sprinkling the salt is, 1 think, a
healthy preservative of Woman Suffrage
sentiment, where it does not much
abound, but still does exist.
The article under head of "Woman
Suffrage and Social Sins," 1 sent to q
lady in Cincinnati, Ohio, who is little
deep on the subject and likes good
square statement, and am sure she will
call that statement good one.
The promised story that is to succeed
"Amie aud Henry Lee" will be a tri-
umph, no doubt, that will gladden. many
hearts.
Your answer to a subscriber who re-
turned the paper, because "afraid Of
Woman Suffrage" must encourage its
friends. Those words of portent and
power, 'the paper will go to press as
usual," though uttered lightly, and in
gentle raiIlery, give note of preparation
for the coming clash that will result in
victory.
God grant the people knowledge
hearts ready to receive it and cash to pay
for it. All hail to the NEW NORTH
WEST and
Hail to the land of high emprise,
Where freedoms banners float the skies;
Hail to the land Of sweetest rest,
Where sunset gilds the oceans breast;
Where commerce finds friendly shore,
Where wars dread cIamors sound no more,
Where pIow and anvil, loom and press,
Unite their force the land to bless
Where peace records her victories won,
Hail 10 the land of Oregon

The New Spanish Minister.

Speaking of the new Spanish minister,
The Washington Chronicle says:
Don Antonio Mantilla, the recently ap-
pointed Spanish ambassador to the United
States, was born in the province of Grenada,
and is now about forty-eight years of age.
After having completed his literary studies
and a course of Jurisprudence, he went to
Madrid, and became political journalist,
contributing articles to the principal papers
OF that city, chiefly to the Epoca, then, as
now, the best paper on the peninsula.
Senior Mantiilo was several times elected a
member of the COrtes, and in 1859, he was
appointed political secretary of Cuba, while
General SerranO was Governor of the is
Land. Shortly afterward he was ap-
pointed political Governor of Havana and
its dependencies. On his return to
Madrid, in 1868, he founded the Politica,
which Immediately rose to the rank of q
frst class paper, and holds that reputation
to-day. Senior Mantilla has often had ten
dered to him very important offices, but he
has refused them all. At length, however,
he has been prevailed upon by Marshal Ser.
rano to accept the position of Minister
Plenipotentiary to this republic. While
Senior Mantilla held Office in Cuba he often
visited the United States, and made our
institutions and our prominent public men
a profound study, as has been evidenced
by the able articles from his pen which have
from time to time appeared in his paper,
La P0litica, and elsewhere. To the ablllt
of Senior Mantilla as a statesman and
practical journalist, and to the confidence
reposed in him by Marshal Serrano, the
high honer of representing his country at
Washingtep is wholly due.
