WONDERFUL!

"Women were intended to be the
mothers of the race" quoth doughty
dogmatist few days since, rubbing his
nose contemplatively as he gave voice
to this startling fact.
Seeing nothing in this assertion, re-
markable as it is, to cause doubt, or
give chance for argument, we replied
not, but meditatively sharpened our
pencil, while we waited for further
unfoldment of the wonderful plans and
intentions of the Almighty in the crea-
ton of woman.
We waited not long. Encouraged by
the conviction which our silence led
him to believe his wondrous words had
wrought, he stroked his chin and con-
tInued:
"Women were intended to have the
care of home and the rearing of children,
and nothing eLse." (This last by way of
a clincher).
"What, when they have no home ex-
cept they maintain it, or their children
are grown ?" we asked "Would you
shut old, middle-aged, or single women
up in converts, or send them, by quick
and easy transit, out of the world at the
expence of grateful commonwealth ?n
az said" he remarked, sententiously,
"that women should hare homes"
"How many of them are you able to
supply in this regard ?" we asked, with
lurking sarcasm, as we glanced at the
seedy coat or our oracle and reflected
upon his well-known impecuniosity.
81 wasn't speaking about-myself, but
of your hobby of woman's rights
with intonations upon the last two
words intended to be peculiarly wither-
ing. "Women have got to be the
mothers of the race, and to take care of
homes and children, and that's rights
enough" and, with this recapitulation
of wonders, and Ito him) conclusive re-
assertion, he left, imagining, no doubt,
that we would 80 profit by the astound-
ing facts set forth that we would spend
the afternoon in making puddings, and
the evening in eontriving imaginary
wardrobes for children long since able
to contrive their own.
Overwhelmed with the vast profund
ity of his knowledge and duly aston
ished at his originality we were, and,
amongst all these wonders, we have
ceased to wonder that equal rights are
withheld from women, when such truly
wonderful arguments are brought to
bear against the theory.
The new Northwest. [volume] (Portland, Or.) 1871-1887, 1876-08-04

Some curious statistician thus sums
up the cost of ministers, dogs, lawyers,
tobacco, and liquors :" The salaries of
all the ministers in the United States
dollars annually; the cost of supporting
the dogs of the country is seventy mil
lions; the fees of lawyers is thirty-fve
millions; over six hundred millions are
spent for tobacco, and over fourteen
hundred millions for liquors. Thus it
will be seen that the cost of mems in
dulgences and the cost of their religion
is out Of all proportion.
The new Northwest. [volume] (Portland, Or.) 1871-1887, 1876-08-04

We respectfully suggest the following,
taken from the OregoniaR of We'd
nesday, as text for another discourse
from Brother Abbott, of the Tribune,
concerning domestic infelicity:"
We are reliably informed that the mental de-
rangement of Sheriff Coffee, of Clarke county,
w. T., which was mentioned some time since,
was not domestic troubles, as then stated His
domestic relations have always been pleasant
and harmonious. His mental disorder is at
tributable, so far as can be ascertained, to bod
lily i'll health. The mental disorder was by no
means so violent first reported and, we are
glad TO learn, has proved to be only temporary.
He is all right again, and attending to his Off
clal business as usual.
Also from the Vancouver Hldepend-
ent:
Mrs A. L. Coffee returned from her visit
East by the steamer Ajax"
Put this and that together, and let US
have another pious dissertation on
domestic trouble" and "desertion,"
brother.
The new Northwest. [volume] (Portland, Or.) 1871-1887, 1876-08-04
THE CHINESE QUESTION,

The Ne1O Age, a lively and vigorous
reform journal published in Boston,
sums up an article on the above subject
in the following language:
II, therefore, the Chinese wish to come en-
tirely of their own motion, to become citizens
of the republic, we do not know of a principle
on which TO base an objection but when they
are inveigled to our shores with the design of
using them TO degrade and subjugate class of
our citizens, then we have right TO interfere.
The world is not yet so mature in its moral ele-
ments that it is not necessary to protect the
weak against the strong. The Chinese, as i'm
migrants or as citizens, have rights which are
just as sacred as those of any other human
beings; but the Chinese question is not one
alone of legitimate immigration. The policy
of vested capital toward labor in this country
is clearly involved in this question and from
this fact it assumes an importance and signifi-
canoe which it could not otherwise possess.
It's proper discussion must reveal the defects of
existing social conditions, and the improve
ments demanded in our industrial systems. It
has been made political question, but as
moral question it invokes the most intelligent
consideration.
In all of this we most heartily concur,
and while we have little sympathy
with "anti-Chinese clubs" indignant
manifestoes and other means used to
excite the populace against this class of
people, who, while the existing treaty
between China and the United States is
neither abrogated nor modified, are en-
titled to the protection guaranteed our
own citizens, we yet recognize the ne
cessity of dealing with this question in
spirit of self-preservation as well as of
tolerance.

OPPOSITION THAT AIDS THE CAUSE

Woman Suffrage bill in England might
turn out to be woman's success after
all. John Bright having made great
point against the bill by Indignantly de-
nying that men were unwilling to do
justice to women or to relieve them of
burdens, has had his attention called by
Lord Coleridge and others to the pres
ent condition of the law by which hus-
band may, by his will, deprive his
widow of the guardianship of her own
children without giving any reason, and
transfer them to stranger; to the ex-
clusion of women from medical educa-
tion, etc. The result is that the vener-
able statesman is compelled to try to
make his denial good, and has already
set his name to a bill by which all re-
strictions against the attainment of
medical degrees by women shall be re-
moved.
Mr.. Bright is evidently, by this
showing, man whose convictions in
opposition to Woman Suffrage are hon.
est, and when the fallacy of his state
ments is shown to him, quite ready to
acknowledge the same by mending
them. Men of this class do not habitu-
ally do injustice to women or perpetuate
injustice upon them by laws which the
age has properly outgrown with intent
to be thus guilty, but with mistaken
idea land withal, considering the teach
ings of the ages, one not to be wondered
att, that men know better what is fit
and right and proper for women to do or
not to do than women do themselves.
Men have so long considered them
selves as protectors of women in sort
of pompous, patronizing way that it is
not easy to convince them that this pro-
lection is in many, if not a majority of
instances, a sham which does not lessen
one iOta the hardships and trials that
beset the path of working women. But
to their credit be it spoken that men
who resist the advancement of women
in the various avenues which their per-
sistent demands are now opening to
them in the world of remunerative
work, from principle, readily yield and
face about when a plain statement of
facts that they cannot gainsay proves
their position untenable.
1t is only dOgmatic assumption of the
superiority of sex, and the blind asser-
tions of prejudice that will not yield the
point when clearly shown. Persons
ruled by the latter motives grow furious
when calm, dispassionate argument is
presented to them, and instead of
weighing it calmly and fairly, they fly
of on some side track which custom
keeps ever ready for such emergencies,
and by stale platitudes or rinnuendoes at
tempt to divert attention from the we'll
proven point or cast opprobrium upon
the character of the person or persons
who present it.

MRS. HAYES.

While all eyes are turned toward
Governor Hayes as the probable occu-
pant of the White House for the ensuing
four years, it may not be amiss to refer
to the little lady who, as mistress of the
same, will dispense its hospitalities.
Mrs. Hayes is Kentucky lady, who
freed her slaves of her own accord. She
is described as lady of high education,
of the most graceful form, and most
pleasing manners; one who co-Operates
with and has always done credit to her
husband; who aided him in his mill
itary life, encountering and sharing
with him its dangers and hardships, and
was beloved alike by soldiers and friends
wherever she was. With such woman
in the White House as a power behind
the throne, the women of this nation
will not be treated with the supercil-
ious Indifference which has character
lied the occupancy of Mrs. Grant, who
has, so far as has ever transpired pub
licly, taken no interest in anything
during the eight years that she has
been an almoner on the nations bounty,
outside Of her daughters wedding
trousseau, and the birth of that
daughters baby. Mrs. Hayes will be a
fit successor to the honors of Abigail
Adams-honors that the touch of time
makes only more beautiful, and the
changes of century have failed to dim.
