TARIFF REFoRM.-We find in the Salt

marks upon the injustice Of tie present
tariff. 1t points out that throughout the
West there are the strongly marked
signs of determination to cause thor
ouRh and radical revision of the whole
list of articles liable to pay customs
duties. This feeling is quite independ-
ent of all party matters, and arises solely
from the consideration that the country
at large has paid tribute long enough to

CIyL SERVICE REFORM. - Though
Civil Service Reform was by the present
Congress turned out to die, the pro-
jected reform is by no means defunct,
and it is still attracting much attention
from the press and from the public. The
urgent necessity of the public patronage
being used for something else than re-
ward for political corruption is being
more and more felt throughout the
country. The evils of merely regarding
the public service as so much booty to
be divided among the sdherents of the
prevailing party are becoming so appar-
ent that thinking men of oil parties are
becoming united in declaring that a
speedy and effectual remedy must be
found. However mere political parti-
sans may oppose the desired reform, il
is becoming so essential to competent
and honest administration of affairs that
its advent cannot much longer be de.
layed.
The THIRD TERM.-The New York
Herald is still urging upon Grant the inn
portant duty of making an explicit
declaration upon the third term question,
to which that journal SO persistently re.
ours. 1t is probable that the pains and
admonitions of the Herald are entirely
thrown away. Grant is not a man to
recognize question of duty in all mat.
tiers in which he is personally concerned.
If he thinks it is to his advantage to
keep silence, he will remain as mum as
an oyster. II, on the other hand, he
believes that it will help his chances,
he will speak out. Under all circum.
stances and conditions, the man he will
be in favor of is Grant. All the regard he
will pay to the lucubrations OF the Her
aid will be to wsth the expression of
public opinion that the articles pub
lished in the Herald may serve to elicit.

II yon cannot on the ocean
eauamono the swifFast fieet


II ron cannot on the ocean
Sail among the swiftest feet.
Rocking on the highest billows.
Laughing at the storms you meet,
You can stand among the sailors,
Anchored yet within the bay;
You can lend hand to help them,
As they launch their boats away,
If you are too weak to journey
Up the mountains steep and high.
You can stand within the valley,
As the multitude go by,
You can chant in happy measure
As they slowly pass alongi
Though they may forget the singer.
They viii not forget fhe song
If you cannot in the eouaiet
Prove yourself warrior true,
If where fire and smoke are thickest,
There's no work for you to do
When the battlefield is silent,
You can go with gentle tread,
Ycu can bear away the wounded.
You can cover up the deadl
If you cannot in the harvest
Gather up the richest sheaves-
Many a grain, both ripe and golden,
Which the careless reaper leaves,
Ycu can CLEAN among the briers,
Growing rank against the wall.
And it may be hat the shadows
Hide the heaviest wheat OF all,
If you have not gold and silver
Ever ready at command,
If you cannot towards the needy
Reach an ever open hand
You can visit the afIIic1ed,
O'er the erring you can weep.
You can be "a true disciple
Sitting at the Sayior's feet.
Do not then stand lilly waiting
For some nobIer work 70 de,
For your Heavenly Fathers glory,
Ever earnest, ever true,
Go and toll in any vineyard
Work in patience and In prayer
If you WANT a field of tabor
You can find it ANYwHEREI

TEMPERANCE MEETING IN EAST
PORTLAND,

As announcd on Sabbath evening.
members Of the Prayer League, to the
number Of twenty and upwards, held
meeting In East Portland, on Monday
evening.
The exercises were conducted by the
ladies in the usual manner, the pledge
circulated, and we learn n goodly num-
ber Of signatures secured.
The people in our sister city, though
seemingly taking much interest in the
cause, have not yet, rs we understand,
been engaged in organized work.
They do not propose however to re-
main longer stationary, though just
what form OF work will be inaugurated,
has not yet been determined.
At the close of the meeting volunteers
to form a crusaders band were called
for, and three or four responded, declar-
ing themselves ready for this or any
other work that would materially adj
vance the cause of temperance.
The audience was not large, and many
present were much annoyed by the
noise Of the hoodlum element about the
doors, sons most probably of mothers
who believe that home is their peculiar
province, and do not interest them
selves in public meetings, farther than
to sneer at the women who take an ac-
tive part therein.

WoWhN's SPHERE AND WORK.

\ small audience greeted Reverend
Augusta Chapiu on the occasion OF her
recent lecture in Masonic Hall upon the
above subject; but Of those who attended
we can safely say that all were highly
edified and instructed. The speaker
handled her subject with such ease and
dexterity as convinced her auditors that
she was thoroughly conversant with its
various phases; and those who had
never before heard the subject discussed
were doubtless surprised at the able
manner in which it was handled, as
well as the unanswerable arguments in
favor of woman's political equality
with man which were dealt out to them
in such vigorous, elegant and eloquent
style as to soften their prejudices and
lead them to believe that ''woman's
rights woman" might be a friend to
men and children, as well rs women and
voting, after all their opposition.
Miss Chaplin is thoroughly repre-
sentative woman Of the great American
type of Woman SufIragists, and as far
removed from the imaginary samples OF
the article that are daily dished up for
the multitude by mans rights news
papers, as the highly cultivated gentle
man editor is removed from the average
western Bohemian.
We We're sorry to see so few acknowl-
edged Woman Sufragists present, but
we have no doubt but that they would
have been out in force had they known
the speakers sentiments. The Suf-
fragists have been "Frost"-bitten and
"Miller"-ited on this question by their
opponents, and they have learned to be
wary.
As measures are being taken TO secure
a fall attendance for this gifted speaker
before the Woman Suffrage Association
before her return to the Fast, we refrain
from publishing synopsis of her lee
ture, rs we prefer that rs many as possi-
ble may enjoy the pleasure of hearing ii
first from her lips. We unhesitatingly
pronounce her one of the most eloquent,
womanly and logical lady lecturers TO
whom it has ever been our good fortune
TO listen.
Since the above was In type, we have
learned that this gifted lady cannot IA
vor the Portland public with further adj
dresses at this time, owing to prior en-
gagements in san Francisco. She has
a large and flourishing pastorate in the
city of Boston, and her brief visit to
this coast during the summer vacation
was caused by the dangerous illness OF
her brother, G.. l.. Chaplin, Esq, who is
now convalescing, mainly through her
sIsterly efforts to rescue him from death.

ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS.

The solons OF our great Republic are
now to have respite from their arduous
labors for a season; mighty minds Will
for few months cease to wrestle with
the perplexing questions of National
finances, railroad bills, custom house
appropriations, Woman Suffrage amend
ments, and the multitude of legisla-
tive nothings, that are hourly born and
hourly expire "with sorrow infinite"
to the brains that so labor to produce
them.
Doubtless many from either House,
and members of the third House as
well, leave the National Capital I'm
disappointment and disgust at the per-
sistent determination of stubborn law
giyers, to ignore measures in their es-
timation of vital Importance to the
prosperity of the State or Nation.
Woman Suffrage has received all, and
more than we had hoped for it at the
hands OF the forty-third Congress; while
we do not profess to be satisfied at the
result of its agitation in the Senate, we
yet have cause for rejoicing in that the
question was sprung, the vote taken, and
we thus enabled to know who are our
friends in that body.
The encouragement afforded by the
large vote in our favor cannot fail to
give an impetus to our cause, which the
combined forces of Ignorance and preju-
dice cannot long successfully withstand.
Whosoever may be called upon to
chronicle the debates and proceedings
OF the next session of the Congress OF
the United States, will have to record
an increased respect for the claims OF
the DISTINGUISHED half of her citizens.
And this course will be ever onward
until taxation without representation is
unknown, woman held i'm esteem as
a law-maker, and the word mate
stricken from the Constitution.
When the Congress that shall thus
place the finishing touches upon the
temple of Liberty shall adjourn, the
members thereof win be followed in their
retirement by the grateful benisons OF
thousands Of Americas fairest daugh-
tiers, and the plaudits OF her most LOYAL
sons
