The Style of the Assistant Postmaster
and His Organ.

dnu xA-s VI Bdu
Mr.. +. d. Sweeney assisted our incom-
petent city attorney, Wm H. Gest, in de-
Tending the suit Of DR.. Lawrence against
the city-and many people believe that if
he, or some other competent attorney, had
not been employed the city would have
lost the case. Ever since the Haverstick.
Hawley bribery matter was exposed, and
the assistant postmaster editor kicked
from the postmastership, he has ignored
all friends of Mr. Hawley whenever he
could do so,-and in this case he omitted
the name of Mr.. Sweeney when publishing
in the Union the names of the attorneys in
the case-and purposely, of course. Jim
Parks, hanger-on of the Haverstlck
clique, had to have laugh at the good
joke his master had played, and this made
MIR. Sweeney mad. And this morning the
Union comes out and attempts to smooth
the matter over-but in such slurring
manner that any school boy can see the
meaning of the article If the post Office
editor of the Union dared to express bis
true sentiments in regard to Mr.. Sweeney,
or any Of Mr.. Hawley's friends Ia feeling
of the most bitter hatred, occasioned by
Exposed bribery and disappointment 10 no,
securing ofhce), very different article

HOUSEHOLD NOTES. 4"
BY ETNA.

A little while ago, as l paused in the
midst of a large washing to rock the
cradle and rest a while, picked up
paper and read a paragraph under the
above caption. And now, as am sit
ting down again with my foot on the
rocker, desire to quote from the article
to and make few comments.
A farmers wife has the same right to be neat
and fashionable and refined that woman of
the city has.
OF course she has; and many an over
tasked farmers wife, who has naturally
a strong desire to be neat and fashiona-
BILE, sighs ofttimes because she cannot
have the time to crafty her taste in
that respect.
Because she lives on a farm, and feeds the
pigs and chickens, is no reason that she should
make a drudge of herself and not care for per-
sonal appearance.
Perhaps not, and if feeding the pigs
and chickens was all the work she had
to do, doubt if it would be necessary
for her to make "drudge" of herself, or
look very untidy, either. But when one
woman has to do all the work of farm
house, including the sewing, washing,
and raising babies, how is it possible
for her to be anything else but a
"drudge?" She may care ever so much
for "personal appearance" but amidst
so much work, how can she avoid look
ing very untidy sometimes? And Of
ten, when her work Is done up and she
glances at her soiled dress, she longs to
array herself in clean and fresh gar
ments; but the knowledge of the extra
washing and ironing such proceeding
would make for herself puts it entirely
out of the question.
Don't slip on a dirty wrapper in the morning
and twist your hair up in knot, and kick the
dog, and tread on the cat, and scold your hus
| band and tell the children to keep out of the
way, for you have a big days work to do and
| you must not be hindered. Don't do it-al the
work you will do will not compensate YOU
family for your looking so dirty and untidy.
1 wonder what the man who wrote
that would say if his wife would "dC
up" her hair in the latest style and dress
herself in fashionable clothes and ther
say she could not do that "big days.
work." (which must be done, and ht
can't, or won't, hire it done), because il
would soil her clothes, muss her hair
and make her look untidy.
The burden of many of these newspa
per paragraphs is, ''don't scold your hus
band" No, that would never do, NJ
matter how great the provocation. No
even if you have worked hard all day
with q tooth-ache for company, anC
then have to get supper with a ''cOlicky'
baby in your arms, and no wood to do i
with. Show me the woman, or nldI
either, who would go through such al
ordeal with face wreathed in smiles
Yet, according to these same paragraphs
there is no excuse for a woman wh'
loses her temper.

following call:
The American Woman Suffrage Association,

principle of equal political rights for woman
by the Province of New Jersey, on the Sd Of
July, l776, will celebrate the event in the city

ton of woman's comparative physical

A PROTEST MEETING.

To THE EDITOR OF THE NEW NORTHWEST:
have been requested to inform the
people of Yamhill county generally, and
those who believe in equal rights par
ticularly, that the friends and leaders of
the Woman Suffrage movement in this
county propose to hold a protest meet
ing at McMinnville on Tuesday, July
4th. A programme is being prepared,
which will appear in the county papers,
but am not as yet advised of its details
sufficiently to give them to you cor
rectly.
The grafton will be delivered by your
humble servant, Mrs. H. A. Loughary;
the Declaration of Independence will be
read also, the woman's declaration of
the same, as read at the Rock Island
celebration one year ago. Appropriate
music will be furnished and a basket
dinner prepared. In short, we intend to
"protest" with what might we have
against taxation without representa-
tion; to celebrate with patriotic enthu-
siasm the anniversary of those liberties
which we in common with our brethren
enjoy, and be sociable, hospitable, and
happy, as BELTS native-born Americans
on the natal day of the greatest Repub.
lie the sun has ever shone upon.
We cordially invite all who delight il
the enthusiastic pleasures that wal
upon Fourth of July celebrations to joir
Us, and while the July breezes giv'
voice to our earnest protest against thu
words of the immortal Declaration o
Independence remaining longer a deaC
letter to one-half of the nations patri
otic children, we ask you to draw near
and with hearts imbued with patriot,
zeal, with minds broadened by the de
velopments of the nineteenth century
with understanding stimulated by th,
sharp reminders of justice, with preju
dice disarmed and love of liberty quick
ened, to answer and tell US if there i
not just cause for recital of grievances
in that for a century past men "hav
usurped the power to legislate for womel
in all cases whatsoever"
