A TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT.

The editor of the Statesman has con-
jured up a miniature tempest, which,
however, will scarcely be felt beyond
the four walls that bound his own sane
tum. In order to prevent this individ-
ual from making a further laughing
stock of himself, we will just here in
form him that the "Woman Suffragists
of Oregon" do not revolve around the
center that he supposes. And further,
that as they have in times past got
along quite comfortably without his
championship, they are quite confident
Of their ability to live, thrive and grow,
even il he, the great (?) Mcdonald,
should put into execution the threat
which he evidently considers will be a
fiat of annihilation, and actually refuse
ever to "write another line in support
of the cause Of their devotion"
AS to the charge that the article from
our correspondent published last week
was an ''attempt-to scsndalize aud de-
stroy pure woman"-nonsense. If the
reputation OF such one can survive the
friendship Of such as he, it will GER
tainly never suffer wreck from criti-
cism, however adverse, or from what
ever source.
We imagine now that we see the
Woman Suffragists of the State, in ter
ror lest this redoubtable champion "de-
spise their want Of spirit" rush fran
ticaIly to Salem with resolutions of re-
sentiment, and certificates of ''future
protection" duly signed and sealed.
A tempest in teapot cannot seri-
ousIy disturb outside elements, and we
are quite content to let it rage. In the
meantime, our correspondent is amply
able to take care of herself, and will, If
she deigns to notice the contemplate
bombast of the Statesman, probably ad-
minister a soporific that will I'LL the
place Of those measures that Woman
Suftragists are urged so take.

Resolutions.

The American Woman Suffrage AS
sociation ct its sixth annual meeting,
held in Detroit about the middle of Oc-
tober, adopted the following resolutions:
The American Woman Suffrage Asso-
citation in delegation convention as
sembled, at this our sixth annual
meeting, congratulate the friends of i'm
partial liberty upon the unexampIed
growth of public sentiment in favor of
equal rights of woman, during the past
year, not only in our own country, but
throughout the civilized world, and
especially upon the admirable practical
results of Woman Suffrage in the Terri
tories of Wyoming and Utah and in the
municipal elections of Great Britain.
We affirm that government of the
people, by the people, for the people,
must bea government composed equally
of men and women, inasmueh as the
equal cooperation of the sexes is essen
tial alike to happy home, refined So
eiety, CHRISTIAN church, and Repub-
lican state.
l. ResolUed, That the primary object
of our association is to secure the ballot
for woman, while its general aim is to
establish equality of rights between
man and woman in all the relations of
life.
3. Resolved, That this equality i'm
plies the same laws for husband and
wife, for father and mother, for widower
and widow, also equal educational and
industrial opportunities and equal pay
for equal work.
WHEREAS, Women as q class have
special interests to protect, and special
wrongs to remedy, and special feminine
characteristics in which they differ from
men therefore,
3. Resolved, That a government of
man alone is neither Republican nor
representative, but an aristocracy of sex,
inconsistent alike with the highest well
fare of man, of woman and of fsociety.
f. ResOEUed, That one-halfof the adult
population of the United States, who are
legally entitled to hold property, who
are assessed for taxes and punishable for
crime, and whose interest in the COM
monwealth is in no respect less than that
of the other half, should not be deprived
of an equal voice ia the government.

HOME MANUFACTURE.

1t must be apparent to all that the
best way to keep ''hard times" at bay,
is TO patronize to as great an extent as
possible the home industries which en-
terprise is striving so hard to establish
and sustain. 1t Is ineomprehensible to
us how a State can expect TO grow in
wealth, when hundreds of thousands Of
dollars are annually sent from her shores
to purchase from other States whose
natural resources do not exceed her own,
that which is lying within reach, and
perhaps striving earnestly to supply de-
mands.
DIR. Atkinson remarked in the lecture
delivered in Museum Hall few even
ings since, that "one manufacturing
firm probably saves to the State $4,000
annually by the use Of native woods"
A firm or person who saves funds to
the circulation of the State, is public
benefactor to the extent that he SO saves.
And each individual who patronizes
home manufactures to the extent that
they are able to supply his wants, fur
nishes his mite towards the financial
prosperity of the State.

LETTER TO YOURS TRULY"

INDEPENDENCE, October %, 1874.
Yours Truly, Correspondent Of the
Neag Northwest Il have for some time
past been reading articles in the NEW
NORTHWEST, over the signature you
have chosen, and possessing an inquisi-
tive nature have anxiously desired to
know something more of the fair cor
respondent than the letters published
have thus far betrayed. l noticed in a
recent letter a broad and liberal chal-
lenge to young men of certain stated
opinions, to enter into public CORE
spondence with you throughthe columns
of the NEW NORTHWEST and am fear
fully tempted; bat never having written
for the press, and being aware of the
amount of criticism that ones letters
must undsSgo when once before the pub
lie, it is with no small degree of embar-
rassment that L make the attempt.
have been an occasional reader of
the New NORTHWEST for something
over year, and Notwithstanding some
of the principles it so ably advocates
are quite unpopular with many persons,
yet l much admire the independent
ideas everywhere so manifest in its col
umns, and to none do pay more re-
spectfnl homage than to those advanced
by "Yours Truly"
confess myself to be one of those who
are unable to see why young lady,
who is morally and intellectually quail
fled to fill position of honor and emOlu-
ment, may not be eligible to such posi-
tion equally with her brother of like at
tainments and qualifications, and after
the position is accorded, may not, nay,
should not receive equal pay with her
brother for equal work. When, in my
humble judgment young ladies can be
made to see and feel that it Is no disgrace
to earn an independent livelihood, that,
on the contrary, it is a disgrace to be
dependent upon others for what they
can and should do for themselves, and
that for having stepped outside the
parental roof, temporarily or perma-
nently, as the case may be, in order to
provide in an honorable way for their
own needs, they shall receive not blame
but eommendatiOn, a great work will
have been accomplished.
Ipresume that in order that my hum
BILE communication may receive any
recognition or reply from you, that it is
necessary that say something concern
ing myself 1 will therefore proceed to
tell you that am verging closely on to
old bachelorhood, though yet on the
sunny side of thirty am possessor of q
limited income, and with nothing very
flattering in my prospects, but am ready
and willing to devote the remainder ol
my life to the welfare Of some amiabIe
young lady; and now if ''Yours Truly
considers the very modest qualifications
/ have enumerated as worth the time of
"a girl of the PERIOD" she will confer a
great favor by communicating privately
or corresponding through the columns of
the New NORTHWEST with,
PLOwROY.

WHAT'S THE MATTER 2

To THE EDITOR OF THE NEW NORTHWEST:
Please send the NEW NORTHWEST Of
Friday the 10th, as that number has not
come to this Office. would like also to
know how it happens that your papers
always come to us from the south, and
why they never reach this place until a
week after their publication =? They
should arrive here on Saturday succeed
ing the day on which they are published.
If you can explain or rectify this mis-
management, shall be greatly Obliged.
SAMUEL HARNESS,
p. NJ. Of Leland, Oregon.
The above is a fair sample of numer-
Gus inquiries received at this office
weekly. In reply to the request con-
tanned in the first part of the eommuni-
cation, we would respectfully refer our
correspondent to q notice at the head of
our editorial columns, headed mo paper
next week." the same to be found i'm our
issue Of October 9th. As to why the
NEW NORTHWEST should arrive at the
place mentioned, from contrary direc-
tion, we cannot form the slightest idea.
The delay mentioned is manifestly the
result of too much travel. We only
know that the NEW NORTHWEST,
plainly addressed to each subscriber of
the same, is regularly deposited in the
Post Office In this city oil Thursday
evening of each week, where, of course,
IL is beyond our supervision. While we
should be sorry to censure the obliging
and gentlemanly officials connected
with the Portland Post Office, we vet
feel sure that there is mismanagement
somewhere. For two weeks I'm success
sion our subscribers at Lafayette failed
to receive their papers until Monday,
when they should have received them
on Friday evening, and we have recently
been compelled to remail our entire list
to our Nehalem subscribers. Again we
say we know not where the fault lies,
but we are sure of its existence, aud we
call upon those whose business Il is to
see to the safe and speedy transporta-
tion of the United States mails to rectify
this oversight, ard so save US from the
fury of disappointed subscribers, and
themselves from public censure.

The Washington Standard mentions
the fact that the recent Independent
Convention held in Vancouver placed
in nomination Miss Jennie Clark for
School Superintendent, not, however,
as recognition of the right of women
to hold office; but simply because no
man could be found who would accept
the position. After some further COM
ment, the Standard puts this pertinent
query:
Why does not ihc Register place Miss
Ciark's name In the ticket at its masthead +?
She was nominated quite MS regularly" as the
remainder of the nominees. Why this invIdi-
Gus distinction?
We are reminded In this connection of
a declaration of George William Curtis,
which runs in this wise: "Gulliver did
not take up the Lilliputians on his
hands, and look at them with more con-
tempt than the political class of this
country take up women and look askanee
at them with infinite disdain.n Think
OF this, good friends, the next time some
beetle-headed BOBBY, after a lengthy
disquisition on "woman's sphere"
winds up with the declaration that he is
''secOnd to no man in his admiration oi

GENIUS. Great men show their
genius in boyhood, aud give promise of
what they will do in later life. When
the philosopher, Newton, was a lad, he
made mill with his jack-knife, copied
wheel by wheel from a Windmill that
ground corn upon a hill near to Gran
than, in Lincolnshire, where be went to
school. He made his little mill at last
so perfect, that by turning q mouse into
its door, by some curious system OF
tread-wheels the machinery would be-
gin to move and the mill to grind. He
made also little water-clock, which
kept time perfectly; and be placed a
dial on the wall of the house where he
was born, which only few years back
was in place still.

Brother Luce says that he is not of
those who declare that home is the only

We have had some hopes Of him from

the assertion that "in a normal cOndi-
ton all women would be mothers aud
per consequence have protectors" we
have slight suspicion that he knows
not whereof he affirms quite so well,
perhaps, as do some mothers whom

The cotton crop of the South in 1850
was about three million bales. 1t was
for the year ending August 81, 1874, four
million bales, an increase of one million
bales, or of thirty-three per cent. Is
not this simple statement worth a vol
ume of arguments in proof of the snpe-
rioIity of freedom over slavery e? The
price Of cotton is now much higher than
it was in 1850, and production Is thus far
much more valuable than ever. Is not
this the best evidence that the South ia
more prosperous than ever, only that.
instead of the wealth and comfort being
concentrated in few families, it is more
evenly distributed among all |?

The mmittee further answer the
arguments Of the memorial lists, and
say they are fully sensible of the deli
cacy and tho importance of the mat
ters presented for their consideration.
They would not withhold any consti.
tutional aid which can be extended
to the lives, liberties, and property OF
any citizens, but they are unwilling
to usurp unauthorized authority to
accomplish such results.
The committee say they have con-
fidcnce in the final success Of the
great changes that have been bl ought
in favor of the African race in this
country, from the intelligence and
capacity exhibited by their repre-:
sentatives in Congress, and by those
who appeared before the committee
they feel assured they can, if they
will, establish their rights TO the COIL
6denee Of the country. 1t is hoped
that; with the advantages afforded
now Of educatiou; and with the ca
gerness they display to avail them
selves of its benefits, they will be
found fully equal to the dignity and
duties of their newly acquired citizen
ship. 1t is believed that by the mu-
tual interchange OF kind and friendly
intercourse, and by employment OF
ali these means, which arc found sut'
fcient in other States, existing evils
in the administration Of the affairs of
South Carolina may be rencdied by
the people themselves.
The committee, therefore, report q
resolution that the prayer Of the me-
morialists be denied, and tie commit
tee discharged from the further con-
sideration of tho subject.
