The first number of the semi-weekly
Spirit Of the West, published at Walla
Wslla, has reached this office. Mr.. B.
NJ. Washburn, late of the Vancouver
Register, publishes his salutatory, in
which he states his purpose in regard to
the future conduct of the paper, declar-
ing that it will be Independent, and
proving this by following the salutatory
aforesaid with the following out-spoken
expression of opinion regarding the re-
cent action of the Territorial Legislature
upon the Woman Suffrage bill:
The Woman Suffrage bill, which again came
before the Territorial Legislature this season
was defeated. We are not surprised at the re.
suit Indeed, we expected to be panied with
the news of its defeat, believing, as we did, that
a majority in that august body were little capa
BILE Of taking so comprehensive step in ad
vance. The vote, being IL for and 10 against
the bill, was such as to give us much hope fol
the future. All reformations originate in the
minds Of the few, and some time must pass
over before many realize their Importance, and
aid in bringing about the consummation. We
believe the time has nearly passed over. The
voice of revolution is heard throughout the
land, and it will not much longer be unheeded

The editor of the Eugene Guard tries
to make his large list of one hundred
and fifty subscribers believe that "Mrs.
Duniway" has recently hOnored him
with notice. The Coos County Rec
ord, another sheet of small wit and huge
pretentions, sympathizing with the
weakness of the Guards effort, essays to
help it out by giving the impudent as
sumption the benefit of its meager cir
culation, and together, they have rer-
haps succeeded in exciting the disgust
of their two or three dozen readers. We
know from endeavors in years past 10
defend our hen-roost, that exceedingly
small animals can make themselves ex-
tremely offensive when stirred up, and
we never meddle with them unless az
attack places us upon the defensive.

Reference was made few weeks since
in these columns to a certain squib
which had appeared in the Coos Bay
NeSOS, in which the author attempted in
a very scurrilous way, to cast a slur
upon Mrs. Duniway. This paragraph,
we justly characterized as being unfit to
be copied into a decent journal. The
editor of the NelUs informs us that he
did not write the paragraph, and did
not see it until in print, and supplements
a private apology by the following pub
lie expression of regret at its appearance:
Mrs. A. ]. Duniway, of the NEW NORTHWEST.
intimates that we published a squib in the
News" not fit to be copied into her paper
Well, Mrs. D., if that is the case, we are sorry
and we shall hereafter endeavor to keep out
all such squibs.
We hope the next time Brother Sig
lin is absent from his post, that Empire
City may be able to furnish gentleman
to supply his place, aud that, in any
event, he will not again trust his paper
to an irresponsible scribbler who is un-
able to distinguish between obscenity
and wit, or whose deprsved taste leads
him to prefer the former, while dressed
in little brief authority as editor do

From Harper's Weekly, which a
friend in Yamhill who holds the anam-
olous position of "neutrar' upon the
suffrage question, delights in declaring
neutral also on the same, we quote the
following:
The friends of just extension of suffrage to
women do not seem to understand the situa-
ton. The question of the extension of suffrage
to women is one of the gravest that can be en-
tertained by any political community. 1t
arouses at once prejudices which are eoeval
with civilized society, traditions which have
the force OF fundamental principles, and a hos
llity which is held to be instructive and uni
versal. Moreover, it is a question of pure
reason, and in that differs from other political
measures and propositions, which have always
brute force behind them. There is no eonceiv'
able change in the political order at once sc
radical and so difficult.

Frank E., son of DR.. J. L. York, died
at the residence of his parents in San
Jose, on the 18th of November. 1t will
be remembered that DIR. York was sud-
denly called home from this State a
short time since, by telegram an
nouncing the rapid decline of his sons
health. He was 25 years of age, and is
spoken of as having been a most es-
timable young man. In common with
a host of friends in this State, we extend
our sympathies to these parents in their
sad bereavement.

The Sunday WeLcO,0e says:

The NEW NORTHWEST finds fault with a sub
scriber for disseminating the paper on the plea
of being married and wanting to save money
for the babies.
Now if our brother of the Welcome
will carefully adjust his spectacles and
read again, he will find that SO far from
"finding fault' with this subscriber
were we, that we expressed ourselves as
being Exceedingly happy" over the
fact that one man "knew how it was
himself' in the matter of saving to buy
baby-elothes.

ner impugped, to which the Secretary replied,
not in the slightest degree. With this Douglass
