EptTORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
'EAR READERS OF THE NEW NORTHWEST:


of correspondence during the past
month, but we have been too busy to
write apologies, and our heart is too
homesick to endure our own regrets.
The heaviest of our work is over now,
we trust, and very soon our gladdened
eyes will be homeward turned and our
weary feet be homeward bound. In the
classic language of the Western stage
driver, tive are used-up community"
and we have time to write to you to-day
only because too thoroughly i'll to leave
our room. Dear good DR.. Lozier has
taken us in hand in earnest, and will
have a certain political missionary
patched up by tomorrow till she shall
be as good as new, we hope. This ex-
eellent doctor having forbidden US TO
write much upon our own account to-
day we have hit upon plan to "get
even" and surprise her, which plan we
now proceed to execute.
One of her legion of personal friends,
school ma'am of elegant erudition,
who has sense and honesty enough to
want to vote and be willing to say so,
clandestinely gave US this clipping from
New York newspaper to-day, and its
perusal has convinced us that other
writer's than ourself have taken the lit
| tie woman unawares and done her up
for the papers in spite Of demurring.
No journalistic picture can do her JUS
tice, though. To fully appreciate her
you must see her radiant face, beaming
with Christian philanthropy and wom-
anly gentleness. You must hear the
sweet vocal music that goes up from her
family altar, and the unostentatious
"OurFather who artin heaven, ,"from her
gentle lips, as she daily consecrates her
numerous household to the God of love
and wisdom. Again you must note her
kindness to the poor, her sympathetic
manner with her patients, her kindly
admonition in her household. But we
will be breaking to-day's orders and
writing a letter instead of a preface
pretty soon, if We do not stay our pen
Gil. We must say, however, that Dr.
Lozier would be choked out of hearing
by the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union if she should enter their meet.

rather than talks, the religion of Naza'
reth, so earnestly adheres to the belle
that it is not every one who saitt
"Lord, Lord" that shall enter the king
dom of heaven, that she eschews tht
"gush" which distinguishes a Witten
meyer, and does not presume, as wOulC
a Leavitt or an IZer, to lay unalterablt
plans of work for God Almighty, ever
in the temperance reforhl. Hence shu
accepts the suffrage movement as re
ligious necessity, and espouses ant
works for it as a part of her many du
ties, remembering always that Pau

''E. P. E." writing from Northfeld, MINI

D bune," says: Just here let me give a sketch
f this woman's life: Mrs. Clemence Lozier, n
D., 23S West Fourteenth street, New York, is b
birth an American, and was educated in one
the best literary schools of our country. Earl

{ and became the mother of seven sons-tI
, only surviving one, A. w. Lozier, NJ. D.,
Orange, n. Y. From her childhood she W;
devoted to good works; was superintendent

, porting her family cher husband having bee
r for years an invalid by teaching. Eleve
It years she was principal of young ladies' ser
II mary, into which she introduced new fe

n directed by her brother, physician of the o
e school. She was refused admission TO tn

but subsequently was admitted to the Eclect
. College, of Syracuse, from which she grad

h lectures TO women, continuing them once

the establishment OF the New York Medic

G finest physicians of New York, who send to /
difficult and puzzling cases; but she calls h
q self true disciple of Hahnemann. Yet, n
