THE OUTLOOK.

The political cauldron is just now boil
ing, seething and steaming in manner
that renders times lively for editors,
doubtful for office-seekers, and amusing
to the slight residue of mankind.
What with the usual party tickets,
the frantic attempts of the Independents
to put forth candidates, and the proba-
BILE nomination of Temperance ticket,
there is certainly no lack of heroic
souls, ready to immolate themselves
upon their country's altar.
The principal fight will be, as hereto
fore, between the two recognized politi-
cal parties, although the Independents
and Temperance men will doubtless in
some localities succeed in electing their
candidates. This will, however, have
small effect upon the general result,
though it may make a slight diversion
In favor Of the Democratic nominees.
The Republican banner, inscribed
with the names Of that party's chosen
leaders, has now been given to the
breeze, and the contest may be regarded
as fairly begun. The platform upon
which these candidates have taken their
stand is neither equivocal nor contra
dictory, but a firm, concise and out
spoken declaration of principles and
purposes. Among these declarations we
heartily approve of the following: That
''the end of government is to secure
equal and exact justice to all its citi-
zens;" that "the right of suffrage should
be secured to all entitled to its exereise;n
that political reform and economy and
purity in all official administration is
desirable;r that the school laws should
be modified, and "the people relieved of
the school book monopoly"
The farmers and laboring classes are
promised sympathy and encouragement,
and farmer, q man of ability and in
tegrity, is placed in nomination for
Governor. This gentle nan has been
heretofore unknown and unnamed in
political circles, but his history will
most probably be pretty thoroughly, if
not truthfully written, before this con-
test is ended. He is, of course, in SYM
pathy with the Farmers Movement; and
of his position upon the other great pO-
litical issues of the day, the Woman
Movement and the Temperance Move
ment, report cannot long remain silent.
We will not at present dwell at length
upon the qualifications of the various
candidates. 1t is sufficient to say that
the Republicans have brought forward
no such political hacks and importunate
place-seekers as disgrace the Democratic
ticket. Should they maintain the prin-
ciples and abide by the declarations of
the platform as they stand pledged to
do, we may hope, in the event of their
election to see the work of political re-
form begin in earnest.
We surmise that even twenty-three
years Of arduous and artful training will
scarcely enable a candidate to success
fully dodge every important question
that will be propounded to him between
this time and the first of June.
Should the Republicans put forth
steady, earnest and persistent effort, the
nondescript craft, manned by the Gov
ernor and his doubtful crew, will be dis
! tanced in the forthcoming race.

GOOD TIDINGS.

We should be glad to publish at length
the Sunday evening sermon of Rev. DIR.
Lindsey, of the First Presbyterian
Church, but want of space forbids. 1t
has been fully reported in both the
morning daiIies. The Doctor has spoken
like the ''son of a prophet" and we
honor him for his manly and Christian
utterances. The following is a para
graph from the Oregonidn's report of
the sermon:
. claim not the honor of a prophet neither
am the son of a prophet, yet venture to pre-
dict that a change will soon take place.
II is the people who speak to-day. and not
their representatives. To-day one-half OF the
power in these United States lies powerless.
That power is vested In noble woman, and
our nation is bidding her on, and with out
stretched, anxious hand implores the aid she
soon may bring, and retrieve our land now
deluged in ruin.

WILL HELP SUFFRAGE.

John b. Cough, the celebrated Tenn
perance orator, is not pleased with the
woman crusade on the saloons. He
says:
II would be unwilling 10 see my wife or my
nieces going about among the saloons, praying
and singing hymns. think the movement
would help the Woman Suffrage cause very
much, and have always had n sort OF dislike
TO the Woman Suffrage business. The Idea OF
band OF ladies going through the streets sing
ing hymns and praying is repuenani to me. It
Is the duty OF policemen to clear away a crowd
OF men obstructing the pavement, and think
that women come under the same restrictions" !"
How natural for persons who have
become famous in any particular line Of
action to look with a Jealous eye upon
any infringement upon their pet hob
bies!
John 3. Cough must remember that
the idea that a man who had wallowed
in the gutter should become a great
Temperance champion, was "repug-
nant' TO a great many people until, by
long years of assiduity in the noble
work Of reformation, he made his change
in life respectable.
He'd "be'd unwilling to see his wife, T"
forsoothl Suppose he were unwilling
His wife's conscience should be at once
her mentor and motor, and he should
learn right speedily that he has no right
to interpose ''bis will'' against the con-
scientious discharge of anybody's duty,
whether that person be his wife or some
other mans. The arrogance with which
so many men presume TO dictate for
woman what her course of life shall be
must and will be dissipated before the
dawning of a brighter day.
But John b. Cough is quite right
when he says the women's praying cru
sade will help the Woman Suffrage
movement. While disbelieving, ourself,
in the lasting efficacy Of the praying
crusaders efforts to destroy intemper-
anee, we recognize them as Gods great
agents TO open the eyes Of women to the
work, of which suffrage is the base,
which He has planned for them TO do.
John B. Cough must also remember
that there is higher Power than man,
or his ''Iikes" and ''dislikes," that is to-
day ruling woman. There is a Power
before which policemen are mute, and
that Pow sr is the influence of the Holy
Spirit, which prayer and praise have
quickened in the souls Of men and
women.
We are rejoiced to see the women
who have heretofore held themselves
aloof from every public work Of the
great Master, laying aside their timid-
ity and coming out in the work as only
women can. And though We may not
approve of the methods by which they
work, we know that Providence knows
oest' and that the work will 20 on till
woman shall see her duty as a law
maAer, and shall embrace that duty.
Sonn b. Coughs "repugnanceu TO the
contrary notwithstanding.

His remarks called out q response
from our fellow townsman, Mr.. Crane,

The Woman Suffrage advocates are made up
OF girls who have little appreciation as yet OF
their nature, old maids who have never had a
chance TO get married or who are opposed to
having such a monster and tyrant as man to
''rule over them,r . OF women who ought to have
been men and who desplse the functions OF
motherhood; and men who are enthusiasts,
or whose wives wear the breeches, or who are
not properly men, or men like Nipple and Ben
Butler, who advocated female suffrage for poll
teal purposes, but have no appreciation or re-
spect for true women-all these advocate this
doctrine. Added to these, Is another class OF
women who have been abused and neglected.

GOOD LORD, GOOD DEVIL.

1t strikes an observer very strongly
that the above motto applies to some of
the clergy of this city quite as forcibly,
in the temperance movement, as it does
to certain prominent persons in their
congregations. The query naturally
suggests itself-is it the clergy who
hold back the congregation, or the con-
gregations which hold back the clergy ?
Does the whisky influence prevail in
church as well as in business and poll
tics? If that is the case we would rec
ommend that they ''Flee as a bird to

MULTNOMAH COUNTY SUFFRAGE
ASSOCIATION.

The third meeting of this association
was held at the Court House on Tuesday
evening, the 14th inst. Few members
were present, owing to the desire to hear
the exercises at the Methodist church,
DIR. Watkins leeturing on that evening.
Temperance is the absorbing topic Of
the times, and as all women are spe-
cially interested in this question, we
cheerfully give way to it. The next
regular meeting is appointed for the
second Tuesday in May. Should any
thing occur requiring q general attend
ance of suf'ragists, we may call for
mass meeting in the meantime. Let
every one be prepared.

The Temperance plank in the Repub-
lican platform, though perhaps as strong
as we could expect, is yet too weak for
the weight it will have to sustain.
Nothing short of legislation totally
abolishing the present license system,
and prohibiting the manufacture and
sale of intoxicating drinks as beverage,
will place this ''needful check" upon
''the growing evils f intemperance."

OF doing good and OF resisting eyil.n
a pitiful picture has been drawn by
some one, evidently unaequainted with
the kind OF women engaged i'm this war
of the neglected household, the hem
pecked husband tending the baby, the
ungoverned, hungry, crying children,
of generally disorganized, demoral-
lied family. This is a mistake that
should be explained away. The women
actively engaged in the movement are
not those whose shoulders bear the
burden of household drudgery, nor Of
daily toll; from these is asked only
moral support; but the women of wealth,
Of position, who have many spare hours
i'm life, the young ladies who sit in the
parlor entertaining idle callers, or
dawdling over novels; these are the
women, and herein, to great extent,
lies the power of the war; Women who
have turned with timid horror from the
possible publicity and vulgarities in
volved in woman's voting have not
deemed it too public to kneel in the
open street, amid half-jeering ra6ble,
and tell Jesus the story of their sorrows,
or too vulgar to enter the vilest liquor
den and handy words with degraded
sots. And, should it accomplish no
other good, it will have gone far towards
divesting woman of such aesthetic and
sentimental nonsense as to her danger
of contamination in public life. Wei
come any excitement, any fanaticism,
that will arouse in woman the desire to
have an actual existence; the desire to
be a concrete number in the sum-total
of humanity
