PROHIBITION.

The friends of prohibition will be
pleased to learn that a prohibition con-
vention lately sat eight hours in close
discussion at Montreal, and as result
of their deliberation, adopted a resolu-
tion to the effect that in view of the un-
satisfactory working of the license law,
nothing short of entire prohibition OF
the manufacture, importation and sale
of intoxicating liquors as a beverage
would be satisfactory to the convention,
and that Parliament be urged to enact
such a law, subject to ratification by
public vote.
These men, like thousands of Others
have done who have deliberated fol-
hours concerning various measures in
tended to add to the public veal, will
find that any law passed in advance Of
public opinion will be but dead weight
upon the statute-books. The more laws
we have that are not enforced, the
worse off we are, and it is well-knowu
fact in this State that we have more
laws intended to affect temperance and
morality than are enforced.

FOR IMITATION.

In politics there has been for two or
three years past conspicuous absence
Of a clearly-defned "issue.U Parties
have been drifting. The platforms of
both the great parties have teemed with
platitudes of tedious sameness. But an
'issue'' is at last looming up. 1t comes
in the shape of demand for further in
f1ation of the currency. In Ohio and
Pennsylvania the Democrats have
planted themselves firmly on this
ground. Republicans-to their shame
be it spoken-do not meet the question
as fairly as they should, but shuttle,
equivocate and evade. They are, how
ever, gradually coming up to the work.
1t begins to be manifest that the contest
for the Presidency next year will turn
mainly on this question. Imitation is,
of course, an indirect assault on the
public credit. And no matter under
what fair promises it may be disguised,
it will result in undermining public
morals and private prosperity. 1t is
absurd to fall into such a snare. Fol
those who claim to be persons of cul-
ture, and who ought to be acquainted
with the lessons of history, it is mex
cusable. We fear the men of the coun-
try, many of them, are unable to deal
intelligently with this currency prob
lem. They need reinforcement from
intelligent women.

NO PAPER NEXT WEEK.

In accordance with our usual custom,
no paper will be issued from this Office
next week. The type-setting on the
New NORTHWEST is, as many of our
readers know, done exclusively by mem
bers Of our own family; and for their
faithful labor during the year, we con-
slider them entitled to State Fair week
for recreation. Our patrons receive just
as many papers for years subscription
as though this week of intermission did
not occur, as they can tell by referring
TO the number of their paper. This
week, number Z. The week after the
fair, number 8. Remember this ar
rangement, and do not scold your post
masters, when they tell you "the New
NORTHWEST did not come this week."

deed that your stay in this city was SO

A NOTABLE WILL.

The will Of William G. Ralston, late
President of the Bank of California,
shows so much of wisdom, justice, and
discernment, that it is well worthy of
the general publicity and favorable
comment given it by the press through
out the country. When the men that
make our laws shall show as just an ap-
probation of and confidence in women
as is found in the provisions of this will,
the good time coming will have come.
Recognizing in his wife an equal, in
stead of a pensioner on his bounty, and
trusting implicitly to her mother-love
and discretion to make ample provision
for his children and her own, he be-
queaths his property unreservedly to
her.
When the laws of the land shall be so
framed or amended as to place women
in the exact condition relative to prop
erty that men are now placed, allowing
them to carry on unmolested the con-
Germs of business, if they so desire, and
hold without surveillance, upon the
death of husbands, the joint property
accumulated during the matrimonial
term, just as men now do, magnan-
imous wills and solemn testaments will
not be necessary to insure to them
peaceable possession of their own.
While, however, women are treated as
minors in the law, that under specious
pretext of protection often squanders
and unjustly holds that which it pre-
tends to dispose of and govern accord
ing to principles of justice and equity,
wills with clauses and provisions like
the following are appreciated, first, be-
cause of their rareness; second, because
of their justice; and third, because of
the light that the necessity of framing
such a will throws upon the unjust
treatment of women in property mat
ters. The will under consideration bears
date of July Is, 1875, and its first three
provisions are as follows:
1. 1t is my will that all my just debts be paid.
2. After the payment of all my debts, I do
, give and beaueath to my beloved wife, Lizzie
Fry Ralston. in fee simple and full ownership,
without any conditions or restrictions what
ever, all my property, real, personal and
mixed, including all my effects OF every kind
and nature and wherever situated, and whether
in my name or the name of any person or per.
sons whomsoever.-
3. hereby Intentionally omit to make any
bequest whatever to any of my children, be.
cause they will be the natural heirs of my said
: wife, and during her lifetime they need nc
other protection or provision than will be sup
piled by her affection for them.
f For this appreciation and acknowledge
: ment of the ability, discretion, property
, rights and trustworthiness of woman,
let women honor the name and revere
/ the memory of William G. Ralston.

POLITICAL.

The political pot bubbles with scarcely
augmented fury at the near approach of
election day. If we are to believe the
statements made by the partisans of
each aspirant for Congressional honors,
each daily gains in popular favor.
The heat and fervor with which the
contest is waged is lukewarm as COM
pared with that of former years. Mr..
Warren, although confessedly no orator,
has on more than one occasion agreea-
bly, surprised his frien ds and disap-
pointed his enemies by his logical de-
ductions and common sense statements.
Mr.. Lane, although claimed as the
orator of the three at the outset, has not
satisfactorily proven his title to the
same, although his most ardent parti-
sans still claim for him pre-eminence in
this regard.
Mr.. Whitney, with the deliberation
and suavity that sometimes make the
worse appear the better reason, fills his
time with stories of political corruption
that gladden. the hearts of the few re.
naming Independents.
g. Washington Dimick appears tc
have dropped out of sight as the canvass
narrows to its close, and has seemingly
relinquished his intention to perish il
behalf of the suffering millions of hi
country" He is probably sitting qui
city at home, mourning over the ingrat
itude of his countrymen. 1t will evi
IDENTIFY be relief to all when tn,
contest is decided, and this time i
happily not far distant.

THE NEW NORTHWEST AT THE
STATE FAIR.

We have added a considerable num-
ber to our usual edition this week, in
order to meet the demands of fair week,
and supply the new subscribers that
have come pouring in from Coos
county, where Mrs. Duniway has been
effectively laboring for the past two or
three weeks. We hope our agents from
various localities will come to the fair
prepared to settle up their accounts. We
have sent bills to many of them during
the past two weeks, and, judging from
their past activity, feel justified in look
ing for prompt returns. Our friends
and the friends of human rights from
every locality who expect to attend the
great annual gathering are earnestly
requested to look out for the interests of
the New NORTHWEST by putting forth
efforts to increase its subscription list.
captain Gray's Company" which
has been re-published in our columns at
the request of many friends of the au-
thor, will be completed in two more is
sues. Persons subscribing now will get
the benefit of the next story without
being numbered with "back numbers. -
No pains will be spared to make the
New NORTHWEST valuable and relia-
BILE newspaper, as well as an exponent
of human rights, and leading literary
journal. So, friends, make strong and
combined effort, and let our subscrip-
tion list be materially increased during
State Fair week.

HEARKBN TO THIS WITNESS; THEN
TO THAT,

A writer in the Denver (Col.) NesOs re-
Gently attempted to make out a case
against Woman Suffrage, by statements
and criticisms relative to its working in
Wyoming. Attempting to make a
strong point against it, be so widely
missed his mark as to make one in its
favor sufficiently strong to set at rest
the assertion that the votes of bad
women will outnumber those of the
good, in case Woman Suffrage obtains.
He says that the whole number of
women voters in the Territory of Wy
oming is but 1900; and that of these, 300,
or one in five, are prostitutes, and sums
up by saying that the experiment has
resulted in making everything just as
it was, only more So"
Now, if in a Territory where the bad
women number one in five, Woman
Suffrage, according to the statement OF
its enemies, does no harm, but leaves
''aIl as BEFORE" certainly the fear that
the bad votes will over balance the good
in communities where such women do
not number one in a hundred, should be
forever dispelled.
Thus, even the enemies of Woman
Suffrage prove its efficacy while at
tempting to depreciate its influence. In
the meantime, the statements of men oi
wealth and ability, who have had abun-
dant opportunity to know whereof they
speak, throw evidence into the scale
which outweighs all the petty calumnie:
that can be brought against it. The
Governor of Wyoming has time anG
again given valuable testimony relative
to its favorable influence upon the
people.
Judge Kingman, of the Supreme
Court of the Territory, a man well ant
honorably known, member of one o
the best classes that ever old HarvarC
sent out, is not afraid to place his name
to testimony like the following:
We have just had another election, and at NJ
time have we had so full vote. Our womel
have taken lively interest, and have voteC
quite as universally as the men. Their influ
ence has been felt more than ever, and gener
ally on the side of the best men. Several can
didates have been defeated on account of thei
want of good characters, who expected success
on party grounds. 1t is the general sentimen
with us now that it will not do to nominat
men for whom the women will not vote. 1
not this great step in advances ? When can
didates for office must come with a characte
that will stand the criticism of women, or b.
sure Of defeat, we shall have a higher tone o
political morals.
Ihear it urged abroad that Woman Suffrag
is not popular in Wyoming, but hear nothin
of the kind here. All parties now favor il
Those who once opposed it oppose it no longer
while its friends are more and more attaches
to it, as they see its practical benefits and fee
its capacity for good. No one that hear G
wishes it abolished, and no one would dar
propose its repeal.
The women are beginning to feel their infiu
ence, and are growing up to a wider an
stronger exertion of it. Think can see a cor
scious appreciation of this in higher dignit
and better seIf-respect among them. Tie
talk of graver things, and of respOnsibilitie
which ennoble them.

The Bank of California remained open
an hour beyond the usual time of clos
ing on Saturday. Receipts during the
day exceeded disbursements by about
three quarters of million. Bank Off
cials express surprise at the result, sup
posing that the actual needs of deposit
ors would have caused a greater demand
on the resources of the bank. They
state that the receipts of the day were
nearly equal to the average Saturdays
business, drafts being much less than
the average.
