ONE MONTH IN WHICH TO WORK.


There yet remains before the ninth
biennial session of the Oregon Legisla-
ture, one month for labor. This month
it behooves the Woman Suffragists of
the State to well employ. The Execu-
tive Committee of the State Suffrage
Association have decided to call
special session of that body to meet in
Salem and devise ways and means to
induce the lawmakers who will there
assemble to consider carefully and can
didly the demands of woman for polit-
ical equality. In the meantime, work
ers must be busy celebrating plans and
procuring signatures to the petition
that will be presented to the assembly,
asking once more a recognition of the
rights of woman TO the ballot. A num-
Der of these petitions have been printed
and sent out by the Corresponding Sec
retary and others, and already several
hundred names are attached thereto.
Two years ago, the list that went up
numbered some fifteen hundred of the
very best men and women of the State,
and anything like an effort on the part
of energetic friends will easily double
the list this year. Hundreds of per-
sons, both men and women, are only
waiting for an opportunity to sign it,
aud this opportunity we hope all will
have within the next two or three
weeks. Do not, friends, allow the mo-
ment and the occasion to pass unim-
proved away. True, the time is short,
but experience, as well as observation,
has taught us all that more is usually
done in a limited time than when
ample time for postponement is fur
nished. These petitions, when filled,
should be at once forwarded to the Cor
responding Secretary, Mrs. J. DeVore
Johnson, at Oregon City, unless the per-
son having them should be certain of
attending the Convention at Salem on
the 18th of September, when they may
be there given to the officer mentioned.
An earnest, united effort of even a
few friends of woman's enfranchise-
ment will do much to break down the
barriers with which apathy and indif-
ference seem to encompass it, and we
hope that each one enlisted in the val
liant army of laborers will work as if
upon his or her own individual activity
depended the victory.

ANOTHER HERO GONE. General
Braxtrn Bragg dropped dead on the
9th ult, wuile crossing a street in
Galveston, the immediate cause as
state by telegraph being SYM ope
induced by organic disease of the
heart. He was a native Of North
Carolina, a graduate Of West Point,
and retained his army rank until
1856, when he resigned and became a
citizen Of Louisiana. The Picayune
saws, ''when the war broke out with
Mexico he was one of the first to
rally under, &c." That is nonsense.
When that war commenced, Captain
Bragg was in the regular Army, and
went where he was ordered. He was
very early in the late war appointed
Brigadier in the Confederate States
Army, and before its close attained
the rank Of General. He was pure
and high souled mar. an unselisl
patriot, severe disciplinarian, AT
excellent organizer, but he Lacked
the higher qualities the possession
of which alone fit an officer to under
take and accomplish grand enter
