cheerfully for the last three years. The
associate editor, Mrs. c. A. Coburn,
whose occasional writings have lately
much enriched our columns, is to take
her place the first of June, and then
her salary for the support Of herself and
her fatherless family must come from

broken that there is little more disagree

fear we will not deny. The strength
and energy of character, the courage
and perseverance that make the leader
in reforms, are frequently accompanied
by lack of delicate sensitiveness, or of
acute perceptions of fitness and expedi-
ency, and almost always of an impul-
sive nature, which often cause unwise
courses of action. Then, too, in the
cause of Woman's Enfranchisement, no
doubt women have felt that they must
fight manfully, almost defiantly, on ac-
count of the great obstacles placed in
their way. We will not say this has
been entirely q mistaken view, but
think it has caused greater opposition
than we should otherwise have met.
For the future let US be careful, while
working for our cause, to be womanly
and discreet; to show men that we can
thoroughly understand their business
and their political matters, and talk
them over freely with our fathers and
husbands, without so much as dulling

slightest detriment to the purest and
truest womanhood, but with growing
and ever-deepening respect for their
manhood, and an overwhelming basis
for mental improvement and admira-
tion. Such a course will tend to remove
the antagonism which now exists be-
tween the sexes.
Another thing it would be well to
shun, is the advancement of erroneous
statements with regard to the position
of women before the law, and the use of
exaggeration and false terms in speak
ing of her present condition. American
women as a class resent the imputation
that they are "slaves." And the hus-
bands and fathers of our nation know
full well that they are not guilty of any
desire to hold in bondage their wives
and daughters, the darlings of their
hearts, for whom they toll and plan,
who awaken their most tender emo
tions and possess their warmest affec-
tions. The fact that woman has not
perfect political liberty does not make
her slave in the general acceptation of
the term. And we but work against
our own interests when we provoke the
antagonism of those persons who might
be brought over to our side by a correct
and candid showing of facts.
With these answers to the arguments
of our opponents, and these few sugges-
tions for our future conduct, permit me
to thank you for your kind attention,
and close my address by again express
ing my perfect faith in tbe final success
of our cause, on account of my eonvic-
tion of its foundation in right, and my
belief that the men of America will deal
justly with their mothers, their wives
and their daughters.

THF RING OF TRUE METAL.

An Independent" ticket in Washing
ton county is brought out in the fol-
lowing commendable style:
For State Senator, NJ. ;. Nicholas; for
Coroner, NJ. Richardson.
PLATFORM OF PRINCIPLES.
First-We hold these truths self-evi-
dent, that men and 10omen are created
equal; that they are endowed by their
Creator with equal mental and physical
capacities for exercising the right to
hold Office and take part in the councils
Of the State and Nation, and the right
to follow any pursuit or profession which
the bent of their minds shall dictate,
and any law or statute which denies
them these privileges is in its nature ty-
rannicsl and in opposition to the will OF
Him who created all things.
Seeond-While we solicit the honest
support Of all good men and women, We
will neither seek nor accept an endorse
ment OF any Of the present rings, cliques,
or combinations of this county.
If there are other patriots in the
county who are willing to sacrifice COM
binations, rings and cliques for honor
and right, let them come forward and
make it known, and we will welcome
them as companions and brothers on our
ticket; II not we will face the music lone
handed. This Is a strong platform, and
embodies uncolored truth.

ANONYMOUS ACCUSATIONS.


As the days have rolled on since our
return from California, and we have had
time to note the political situation as
portrayed by our Oregon exchanges, we
feel more keenly than ever the degrada-
tion Of personal journalism and mascu-
line politics, If the various partisan
journals are to be believed, there is not
one OF the men now before the people as
candidates for positions Of emolument
and trust who is not villain who ought
to be in Penitentiary. Records are
searched, lies forged, calumny and
slander INDUCED in, and all manner OF
insinuation and accusation resorted to,
in order to prove that this man or that,
whose reputation had hitherto been un-
sullied, is either william or simpleton
or both. Now, this is all wrong. 1t Is
degrading to the aspirations OF honorable
men and an abominable stigma upon our
current literature.
So far as we know, all the men who
are up for Office in Oregon to-day are
men of good average ability and fair
business standing. With very few ex-
ceptions, they are not politicians. They
are persons who have a perfect right to
run for Office, as have all others who have
such aspirations, but the political black
mailing which they are compelled to
undergo has tendency to drive good
men out of the political arena and leave
the Government to the management OF
| knaves.
There should be some law by which
to punish journals for publishing anon
ymous attacks upon character. Every
body who has word to say in defama-
ton of individuals, public or private,
should hold himself personally and pc
cuniarily responsible therefor, and in
all cases where be cannot prove his
charges, when action is brought by the
State, should be held liable to fine or inn
prisonment. 1t is the duty of the State
to protect the good name of citizens who
are worthy and honorable, no matter
what their political or religious procliv-
tiles may be.
After hearing the different candidates
for the offices of Governor and Represen-
tive attack each other in public debate,
we were compelled to say to some of them
that if they were to be judged by their
own words not one Of them was good
enough for any Office, and they had all
better stand aside and make room for
| the women.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

We must claim a little more indul-
gence from our many waiting CORE
spondents, as It has not been possible
for us to read, let alone answer, half OF
their letters. Among them are many
words of cheer which we most deeply
appreciate. Also, many questions have
been asked, which we will try to answer
in their turn.
Mrs. Mex, Sheridan: Thanks for IA
vors. Hope they will continue.
Mrs. o., Salem: Your last letter was
mlslaid during our absence. Write
again.
A. p, Albany; The paper goes regu-
larry to the gentleman's wife at Corval-
lis, and has not missed a number.
Mrs. NJ. X, Lafayette: Your letter
reached us after the last paper was out,
and of course too late to use the MSS.
Mrs. a. J. J., Salem: Letter received
with remittance of 50 90. Thanks.
Communication will appear soon. How
we wish the world were full of workers
like you.
NJ. o. B., Olympia: Thanks for your
letter. The lecture will be printed soon.
Will write you privately as to particu-
lars and explain all. The appeal can
not be found.
Mrs. G. o., Portland: No; we can not
pay for poems or correspondence. II
your letters are valuable to the cause,
we will print them for you. If it
is worth nothing to you to have n
Woman Suffrage paper sustained, we
are sorry; but If it is worth sustaining,
you have as good right to help a little as
any of US.
c. l.. X: You shall be heard next
week.

DORA McO0RD.

This little twelYe-year-old phenome-
non addressed the citizens of Portland
on two evenings Of this week, eliciting
high encomiums from the press and
great enthusiasm among her hearers.

far smaller than 1t should have been to
pay expenses. Next Saturday a theat-
neal troupe will open a series Of per
iormances in this city, and the women
who go before the public, haIf-nude, to
uaiiee ana sing, will be handsomely

nEEAR, PAUSE, WONDER AND PRO
NOUEOE."

The last indignity inflicted upon the
Crusaders in this city by a saloon
keeper, eliminated in his arrest
for assault and battery on Tues
day. The complaining witness was
Mrs. Helen Stitzel, a lady who has from
the first taken active part in the
Woman Crusade.
The impanneling of jury, as in the
former instance, proved to be tedious
farce, and it seems perfectly impossible
to get respectable and responsible jury
to give such a case hearing.
The indignities which these conscien-
tious and prayerful women suffer have
found and will find no redress i'm the
courts, so long as the law, that mascu-
line imperfection, extends to these
whisky dealers aid, comfort and protec-
tlon.
We ask Of you women what can you
expect by an appeal to laws, which were
perchanee the offspring of brains mud
died by the fumes of rum, their owners
placed in nomination for legislative
honors through whisky influence, and
sent to legislative halls by whisky votes?
Prayer alone can never right these
things.
Though these women seemingly suffer
defeat, yet it is only in seeming, for the
farce that is now being so frequently en-
acted in the Justice and Police Courts
serves, perhaps better than anything
else could do, to open the eyes of the
women of the country to the urgent ne
cessities of the case, and clearly establish
to doubtful minds the fact, that never
until to woman has been accorded the
privilege, as it has ever been her right,
to muster the forces Of truth, justice and
temperance at the ballot-box, can we
hope to accomplish any thing that shall
be Of permanent benefit, or that will
tend to diminish to any extent the traf-
fic in Intoxicating drinks.
Let us bear in mind that each decis-
ion rendered by jury of rum-seller:
and whisky-sympathizers but adds an
other weight to Woman's Enfranchise-
ment, by dimishing the ranks of the
women who have all the rights they
they want, and by causing those who
have long been working for equal rights
against fearful odds to arm themselve:
with renewed courage for the contest,
thanking God the while for the great
auxiliaries, which He has so suddenly
and unexpectedly raised up to the help
of the weak against the mighty.

"TINKEEFLUGAL" WRITES TO HIS
ANT"

MI DEAR ANT JERUCIA:-I set myself
down with pen in hand to let you no
that mi hart is full of joy at the trum-
phant defeat of the freelovin' wimmens
rites, and long-faced christin, and tenn
prunce fannattieks.
1t happened in this way: You have
herd Of the freelovin', wimmens rites,
temprunce fennattieks, gaddin' around
the streets of Portland prsyin' and sing
in at the saloons, and raisin' muses. on
the streets when they out to be at home
tendin' the babies, and cookin' and
washin' for their husbands. Well, they
went to Bill Gongleton's saloon, and sot
down on the sidewalk, and began to
sing and pray, not very loud, you no, but
then it was wimmen out of their spere,
and that made it sound very loud, and
then it was obstructin' his business, for
what gentleman would want TO step up
and cal for q drink, and perhaps his
wife or dorter prayin' Mt his heals? So
Bill Gongleton thout he would drive
'em away, and put out the gongs, and
sich and sich a mother racket you never
herd. You couldent here the poor VIM
men spek; indeed, he maid sich a racket
he couldent stand it hisself, and he went
and he'd the wimmen arrested, so as to
enable him to retreat in good order. So
to cut long story short, they was tried,
and the jury found them gilty of raisin'
disturbance, (or causin' Bill GongletOn
prayin' about out OF the meetin'-house,
and they wus put in jale one day. The
Jury thout that they out to be teached q
lesson-that they out to keep in their
proper spere-or the whole likker traf-
fick woud be upset.
These silley fannatticks is so simple
minded that they never think Of takin'
up Bill Gongleton for disturbin' re-
ligus meetin' on the street and raisin' a
hellabaloo generally. Well, 1 wus so
elated at this temprunce victory, that l
concluded to have some fun with old
Grandma Doolittle, who, herd, was
visitin' at old Ant Grumbleton's. Now,
old Granny Doolittle is about 20 years
old, well edicated, and smart, and terri
BILE large, ard If it wern't for her vim
mems rites and Temprunce fannatticism,
she would be liked by evrybody. She
sometimes makes the biggest kind of
speeches, as old as she is. Well, ] went
and told Bill GongIeton what wus go
in to do, and he sed could hev all the
liker 1 wanted to stimulate me, and
took several horns, and started.
l walked up, and without nockin',
walked in; and there sot Granny DoO-
little, with her apron to her eyes, a
cryin'.
"What," says I, "cryin'9 You out
to be rejoicin' at the good news"
"How do you do, Mr.. Tinkenfugal ?''
says she. "Did yon say there was good
news ?" brightenin' up aud wipin' her
eyes.
Eyes; good muse, yes and you out not
to be cryin' that way" says I.
"What is it?" says she. "Do tell"
"Why, them freelovin' wimmens rites
Crusaders is tried, convicted, and are
now in jale."
At this her face got red, her eyes
flashed, and thout she would look me
threu, as she turned loose on me. And
sich an other skinnin' as got, no other
bruit ever reserved, and lived to tell the
tail. Well, when she wus threu,
wus glad to say nothlu'; so with one
