me regular monthly meeting OF the Methodist

the past month showed that rs, 900 tracts and

reported that 224 tracts had been gwen out and

The special election in the village OF Flushing,
held on Thursday, TO determine whether the Board
OF Trustees, in their capacity as the Board OF
Water Commissioners, should have $4,000 In ad-
dtion to the $4,000 originally voted Tor the con-
struction OF the village water works, resulted in
very moderate triumph for the Water Board-the
additional amount being voted by bare majority
OF Q. There was much excitement in the village
and q very strong vote was the consequence.
There were 40s votes cast Tor the Appropriation
and 400 against it-sl0 in all The result, while IL
empowers the Board TO proceed with the works in
accordance with the present plans, pretty clearly
indicates a belief on the part or large proportion
OF the citizens that the charges Of reckless and ill.,
considered expenditure, freely made against
the Board are well grounded.

HOI FOR EQUAL RIGHTS.

To THE HDTroR OF THE NEW NORTHWEST:
take the liberty of announcing to
you the result of a very interesting
debate which took place in the new
school building at Columbia City re-
Gently.
The question was:
ResOIred, That women should have
equal rights with men before the law.
The participants in the debate-six
in number-were as follows: In the At
firmative, James c. Woods brother of
ex- Governor Woods, Uncle Caleb
Woods, and VIM. Clark; in the Negative,
Professor E. G.. Adams, DIR. c. G.. Caples
and Geo. w. Merrill.
The house being well crowded at an
early hour, the meeting was called to
order. a president and competent corps
of associate judges were chosen, after
which the aforesaid speakers proceeded
to "spOut." And pardon the express
SION, there was some "spouting,n
which was pretty warm on both sides,
and lasted until late hour, when the
question was submitted to the judges,
who, being both honest and impartial,
were Obliged to decide in favor of the
affirmative.
Since the evening of the discussion,
one of the negative party has remarked
that if ever he spoke again on that
question he would be on the other side.
So you see that the good cause "goes
marching on" Thank God! And oh
that it may still continue progressing,
until women can stand on an equal
footing with the lords of ereationl And
until she can fill her proper sphere, for
which she was intended in the begin
ming, namely: an helpmeet for man
not mere slave, or doll, one of which
she has to be under the existing laws
and customs.
We, down here in this remote part of
the world, say amen to the Woman
Movement in putting down intemper-
ance in the land.
Not wishing to tire your readers,
will say goodnight. Yours truly,
I. J. MCFERON.

THE INDEPENDENTS

Now come the Independents with
their ticket, prating of the political
millennium. We confess that we would
have much more confidence in the pro-
fessions of the party through its plat
form if it were not engineered and con-
trolled by disappointed plaee-seekers
and men with old political grievances
to redress.
Although there is not a ghost of a
chance for the election of the Independ-
ent candidates, the ticket may accom-
plish the darling object of its leaders
ambition, viz: the defeat of the Repub-
lican nominees.
Be this as it may, we are sure that
when the smoke of the June battle shall
have vanished, leaving the political at
mosphere again clear, that the shattered
fragments of the Independent party
will be sought in vain.

WHAT NIXT7


1t needed just such trial as that of
the crusaders in the Police Court to
show up the whisky influence i'm this
city. If any proofs were wanting be-
fore, that want no longer exists. 1t was
clearly and distinctly shown that the
"disorderly conduct" ''noise," etc,
with which the ladies were charged was
not originated or participated in by
them; that, in fact, the noise which M
Mo6eh caused TO be made so completely
drowned the voice of prayer and singing
that nothing could be distinguished of
the services.
1t was further shown by the evidence
that at Mr.. Mofietts instigation every
lowest device was resorted to TO insult
and frighten the ladies, even to present
ing pistols.
Yet in the face of ''cloud Of wit
nesses" jury of six ''good and true
mem brought in verdict of "guilty,
as charged in the complaint" that is,
guilty of wilfully disturbing the peace
and quiet of this city by disorderly con-
duet.
I Now, although we are sorry for the
defeat of the ladies, as q defeat, and
ashamed of Portland morals as shown
by that verdict, We are glad that this
strong and pointed case has occurred
just as it has. For 1t may awaken the
Indifferent to sense of the evil influ-
ence so widespread and sopotent which
rules in every department OF business
and politics. Ii may show men where
they stand as to their own safety when
it comes to a contest with whisky.
But that which is most yividly pre-
sented To us in this case is the need OF
something stronger than moral suasion
frage argument could possibly be found
than facts such as these, that in this
nineteenth century the bad morals OF
men should force women to street pray
ing and exhortation, and that they
should be arrested for it, like common
rioters, and after trial by jury found
"guilty" of ''disOrderly conduct The
fine irony of their Recommendation to
the Courts mercy must have been espe-
cially stunning to the guilty creatures.
Is it possible that there remains in Port
land, after this, one man or one woman
above the influence of whisky, OF
, course) who can longer be blind to the
pressing need OF the ballot in the hands
, of women? Either one OF two things
is inevitable: Women must consent to
+ relinquish all hopes OF happy homes
and virtuous children for the future, OF
they must have their hands strength
ened to defend those homes and children.
Men cannot do 1t any longer they have
sold their birthright Of moral freedom
for whisky. All they can now do, under
the existing order of things, is to stand
idly by and see their Christian wives
and mothers arraigned in Police Courts
upon the complaint Of drunken and dis
orderly men, for using, in defense Of
their homes and children, the only wea-
pom society has heretofore allowed them
humble prayer to God. If the men OF

idea, aud then let it "whistle ITSELF

place where we have yet spoken in the
State.
This evening we are to lecture upon
"What will we do with our boys ?" in
the Methodist church in Grass Valley,
and tomorrow night, the twentieth lee
ture since coming to the State, the sub
ject will be, through request of many of

Everywhere we are greeted by thepress
aud pulpit with the utmost courtesy,
though in many places we are COM
PEELED to fight our way through many
obstacles engendered by the ''shrieking
sisterhood," whose rabid "Woman's
Rights" doctrines have thrown the
Woman disrepute. These
man-hating fanatics, who in dow6y dress
and disheveled hair avail themselves of
every opportunity to force themselves
before the public to denounce "the ty-
rant man." are our pet aversion. They
have hitherto kept many noble, wom-
anly women from coming to the front
in California, but through the Temper
ance reform another class are now being
led into the ranks, and soon universal
shout for suffrage will go up from the
people which no interests Of offiee-hold-
ers or lawmakers shall be able to
withstand.
a few evenings ago we were met at
the residence of Mrs. Rolfe by party OF
ladies and gentlemen who are well
known suffragists, and few others who
have not yet Identified themselves with
the movement but are becoming sym
pathizers through the Temperance re-
form. How we wish some of the stupid
mortals who hold back from active work
in this great moral field, for fear they
may lose caste, could travel for few
months among the people and note tht
high degree of intellectually and re
finement, as well as wealth and domesti,
happiness, of those who are so far eman
cipated from Miss Nancy-ishness tha
they dare to speak what they think
Nevada is the old home of Senator Sar

In Grass Valley the Ladies' Ten
perance Union, assisted by our eve
ready friends of the Methodist churct
gave us three large and apprecia
tive audiences, and much interes
upon the woman's work in the move
ment has been awakened and will, W
: doubt not, go on till the great work j
accomplished.
We were here agreeably entertaine'
at the hospitable home Of Hon. A
B. Dibble and wife, who have spareC
no pains to make our visit both profita
ble and pleasant.
From this place we are soon to retrac,
our way over the fearful stage road t

honest work enough to support fair
sized butterfly. And now that women
are getting such strange ideas about
Human Rights, and are really thinking
that the same rules that govern women
ought to govern men, there is really a
strong impression that, if you choose to
live an idle, dissoIute, lieentious life, you
are not entitled to any purer person than
yourself as a companion. 1t seems to
these unreasonable people that it is
monstrous for you to associate with the
vicious and degraded whenever You
choose to, and then go from the polluted
atmosphere of drunkenness and debauch-
cry, straight to the parIor of some pure,
innocent, unsuspeeting girl, and palm
yourself off as decent man, fit for her
associate, escort or even-Heaven for
bid-her husband. "DO you think tnat
the true woman whom you could honor,
as a wife, would, if she knew it, take to
her embrace husband who had lived
life of perfidy and treachery to her sex
life of impurity and degradation?
''You may plead in extemuation of
your faultsn that men are not required
by public opinion to live up to the
same standard to which women must
conform. For shame, TO urge such an
excuse. II there is anything truly
manly in your nature, it must reproach
you for such miserable efforts to hide
behind the fiimsy screen of an unjust
and cruel public sentiment. Where is
your boasted strength? ? No, sir; if it is
right for woman, the "weaker vsssel,"
! to be held to such strict accountability,
so much the more should yoU of the
stronger sex hold yourself bound. There
is no such thing as two codes Of morals,
/ one for men and one for women. Both
are alike subject to the laws of God and
man; both should be, and soon teiH be,
held equally amenable to public opin-
ion rs regards personal character Re
pent, then, of your evil deeds, and strive
to atone by life of purity, henceforth,
for the errors of the past. Abandon, at
once and forever, ererythiRg you could
not approve in your future wife, and
when, after q satisfactory probation, you
find and win her-you mustn't insist on
an angel, though-eOnfide to her indnl-
gent ear all your faults and repentance,
your errors and your reformation, that
in after years no truthful story of your
misdeeds may shock her and "cast a
T shadow between you and her who has
trusted your so much more than you de-
serve. PORTIA.
