Col. Ben and John Hanson.

We observe that both Of the Wetzel
county papers notice the presence at their
county seat of the Hon. John Hanson
Good, who il down there seeing what he
can sec as respects his chances for Con-
gress, and evidently intent on setting up
things 10 beat Col. Ben at. the forthcom-
ing nominating convention. The VIndt-
Gator wishes John Hanson success in the
object Of his mission, and the Messenger
also has good word to say for him. 1t
speaks Of him as "a young man of'decided
ability, whose course in theimpeachment
trials last winter gained him many friends
in this part Of the State. simultaneously"
with these complimentary remarks about
John Hanson appears the following
article about Col. Ben, in the shape Of
communication in the Messenger:
Two years ago Col. Wilson promised
to build a railroad up the creek, and by
this. and similar promises obtained the
support OF Wetzel county. Daring the
last session Of Congress he wrote to per-
sons in this county that he had intro.
duced bill TO allow farmers to dlstill
their own grain and fruit without tax.
Tho reason / mention these things now
is TO inquire Of your Democratic readers
whether they are going to be gulled again
by such, promises? and whether man
who thinks US such fools as to bite at such
bats, is entitled to our support The
Colonel Is fine man., but such election
eering tricks arc rather transparent.
This is not the first time we have heard
the charge made against Col. Ben Of thus
deluding his Wetzel county followers with
false promises about q railroad, but we
have never seen the distilling matter
alluded to before. There is something
mysterious about this charge, and all the
more SO from the fact that it appears in
print along with puff OF John Hanson
We call Colonel Ben's attention to tile
subject. We always knew that the old
Colonel was "heathen Chinee" in poll.
tics, and up toevery game that could pos
sibly win votes, but really We did not
suspect him for iooling with his unsophis-
ticated friends in Wetzel in so serious a
matter as their whisky. The Fat Con-
tributor tells Of a good natured German
who was always ready to forgive the
"boys" who freQuented his saloon all
sorts of tricks played on him except one,
and that one always made him '@bilin
mad"-in fact perfectly farious, viz
when the boys, when his back was
turned, would pour water in his
glass Of beer. As he himself
expressed it, "deres no brincible in dot"
So we say to Col. Ben on behalf'of these
poor Wetzel county people, "dcre's no
brinciblo" in fooIing with them In a'hat.
ter SO dear to their hearts as their bitters.
We therefore advise John Hanson to
make good use Of this lack Of "brincible"
on Col. Bens part, and bytRGa aid OF it
work up public feeling in wetzel that
will manifest itself in the convention.

A NEW ORDER OF THINGS.

The Express is doing excellent service
IN behalf of Steilacoom and Pierce
county. 1t possesses our cordial sym
patty. We know, from experience,
how difficult it is to see ball in mo-
ton which has long been at rest. The
earnest labor of the writer during the
past sixteen years has been devoted to
similar service, in a community pos
sessing many good people, and unfor-
tunately, but a few embued with the
progressive spirit of the age, the enter
prise which builds up country despite
all obstacles. They would all make
good soldiers, but are wanting in the
necessary qualifications to command.
They welcome any scheme by which
others may come in to bear the burden
and pocket the reward, but appear dis
trustful of their ability to do anything
for themselves. An occasional spas
modic effort is made-as when the rail-
road was graded and the wharf huilt--but
when the combind effort appears about
to be crowned with success, they weary

pie and the disposition of those who
possess the means without the inclina-
ton of aiding public enterprise, the
endeayor has been to enlist foreign aid,
as the only recourse for infusing life
and vigor and confidence into tho COM
munity.
The Express has the same kind of
difficulties to overcome in awakening
the people to just realization of ne
cessity for individual e1ertion. A liv-
ing has been too easily earned for any
body to be alarmed by the clouds which
loom up in the distance. They dream
that the future will be but repetition
of the past, that suficiency of Earth's
blessings will be accorded them without
any special effort of mind or body.
They do not realize that we are on the
threshold of important changes; that
progress is daily equalizing the con-

SOCIAL OSTRACISM.

The Christian women OF Portland
are entitled to credit for a virtue as
rare as it is Respondent with honor, in
the formation of an organization for
the reclamation of fallen women. No
higher or nobler mission could actuate
the human breast, nor can practical
philanthropy find more useful field OF
labor. We do not believe their is

fic of body and soul from choice. 1t
is contrary to the God-given instincts
by which she is endowed, and her in
nermost nature revolts at the assault
upon every holy impulse. In nearly
every instance cruel necessity leads to
the first hayward step. Pinching pow
erty blunts the feelings, until self-re-
spect abandons the contest and the VIC
tim falls into the maelstrom of ruin.

to false step, and the victim is as eff
fectually excluded from the world as if
the clods of the valley marked her last

ban is necessary to keep womanhood
pure, is to place but little trust in hu-
man nature. It is cruel mandate,
unworthy the age. Thousands would
reform if but reasonable opportunity
could be afforded whereby a virtuous
life could atone for errors OF the past.
The efforts of the women in Portland
