PREPARATIONS FOR THE COMING
FAIR,

Mr.. Watson, President of the State
Agricultural Society, is vigilant in his
business and untiring in his efforts to
promote success at the annual fair,
which begins on the 9th day of October
At a recent meeting he explained his
desire that in honor of the Centennial
year something should be done in the
way of decoration of the pavilion, and
wisely suggested that the ladies of Sa-
lem should take charge of the matter,
the Society furnishing men and means
necessary to procure evergreens, ETC.,
leaving the adornment in the hands of
the women. OF course, the women
were ready to help-they always are
and a committee of five ladies was ap-
pointed to superintend the work, with
power to appoint subcommittee as
they deem proper. The five ladies
named on the committee are Mrs. Bow
man, Mrs. A. J. Brown, Mrs. ]. H.
Moores, Mrs. A. A. McCully, and Mrs.
Jos. Holman.
At the next fair the ladies' depart
ment will occupy about three-fourths of
the main building running east and
west, and with the additional room thus
furnished it is to be hoped that the work
will be so displayed as to give all an
equal chance for being seen, instead of
being piled up as heretofore-weeks of
patient and skillful toll being COM
pletely or nearly obscured in the general
jam. Now that the ladies have by invi-
tation and appointment been detailed
for decorating service by the Society,
we shall expect to see the grand pavil-
ion a marvel of exquisite taste.

SILENT FOR REASONS OF POLICY

A distinguished lecturer, writing upon
the indifference displayed by women on
the subject of their freedom, remarks
that in her wanderings up and down
she finds many women who secretly ad-
vocate the advancement of their sex,
but they fear the people. They do not
encourage speech in advocacy of human
rights in the presence of their husbands,
but out of the masculine presence they
listen joyfulIy. Women are kept in
this state of feeling and department,
forced to lead double lives for fear of
losing caste or of incurring the odium of
that portion of society who hold and
control its financial interests. The
argument used to keep women silent
upon this subject runs sometimes in
this wise:
"You should not be so outspoken in
your advocacy of woman's right to the
ballot, especially before gentlemen"
"Why especially before gentlemen ?"
because it will iniure your prospects
matrimonially."
This is usually considered such
clincher that further admonition is not
given. Women have been so long
taught that every event, feeling, and
aspiration of their lives must converge
toward a matrimonial point, indeed, it
has heretofore been considered so neces-
sary to respectability and support for a
woman to marry, that everything has
been made subservient to this possibil-
ity. Marriage once secured, the aim in
life gone, very many have been content
to DRIFT idly with the tide of public
opinion, while those whom necessity
has compelled to face the stern realities
of their position have, by appealing to
the divorce courts, sought freedom and
opportunity which, when rightly and
honorably theirs, they bartered for un-
congenial marriage.
The women throughout the nation
who believe in equal rights yet observe
silence upon the subject are numbered
by thousands. Watching and waiting
with what patience they can summon
for the leaders to fight the way, they
are perfectly ready to enter the broad
fields of freedom when the massy bolts
and bars of prejudice fly back, yet they
refuse or neglect to deal a single blow
that shall hasten the opening of the
portals. Meanwhile, those who, seeing
beyond the bigots narrow bounds the
fair fields of liberty waiting to be pos
sessed, continue to labor with constantly
increasing zeal and earnestness to re-
move the impediments that stay wom-
ans progress.

"THEY CALMLY AWAIT"

The Salt Lake Herald, referring to
to the fact that Congress had adjourned
without special legislation for Utah,
says:
The principles Of local self-government must
be carried out here as elsewhere, and the fight
for supremacy will have to be made here at the
polls by the people themselves, and through
the ordinary methods of enforcing the laws
and administering justice. The contest can
not be lodged by a frenzied and prejudiced ap-
peal to Washington. Utah is a full-nedged
state in all the elements of American state
hood, and her people are abundantly able to
take care of themselves, though they calmly
await the action OF Congress in regard to them,
and submit to all legislation imposed upon
them by the National Legislature.
The Territory of Utah presents the
anamoly of State protesting allegiance
to the general government, and yet,
constantly and openly violating its stat
utes. Proclaiming themselves "abun-
dainty able to take care of themselves,
they calmly await the action of Con-
gress in regard to them," and then as
calmly and audaciously set such legis-
lation as infringes upon, or prohibits
their peculiar and pernicious system of
polygamy, aside. And the comedy in
the play consists in the long-suhering
humility with which the general gov
ernment," when vigorously slapped on
one cheek by this loyal portion of the
great commonwealth, turns the other
toward them for like castigation
Under these circumstances, the people
of Utah can afford to "calmly await the
action of Congress-"

A Salem lady inquiries whether the
old lists of names, or those presented to
the last Legislature to the Woman Suf-
fage petition, will be used, or whether
persons who signed those shall again
sign the new ones now being circulated.
We believe it is the expectation to have
these petitions entirely new; indeed, we
think the others were not preserved.
Besides, we have no means of knowing
whether the previous signers are all at
present residents of the State. We want
no names but those of bona tide resi-
dents over q years of age. Therefore
let all to whom the petitions are pre-
sented sign them.

PROGRESS OF THE BLIND.
Amity, August q, 1876.

The first school for the blind In the
United States was established in 1882.
There are now % schools with 1900 pu-
pills. These schools are classified into
literary, mechanical, and musical de-
partments, and the proficiency of some
of this class of persons is both extraor-
binary and astonishing. Professor G.
H. KAISER of the Oregon Institute for
the Blind, brought out and illustrated
their way of teaching reading, writing,
and music before the State Teachers
Institute in an able and interesting
manner. Surely the loss of sight must
sharpen, and render acute all the other
senses, or these blind people must be
natural prodigies to accomplish so
much, when to them

If there is any one thing that is more
needed and called for on the trans.cOn-
tinental cars than a separate sleeping
apartment for ladies, we don't know
what that commodity may be. You are
compelled to dress lying prone upon
your face, and you run the gauntlet of
not over-modest masculine eyes every
time anybody squeezes through the mar
row passage way and parts the curtains
that form your chamber walls. If the
car is crowded you must sleep directly
under the berth of some strange traveller
who snores, and every time he turns
over you tremble lest his bunk will
break and fall upon you. We think
we're blest with strong nerves. We can
ride beside the stage-driver on a dark
night, along the edge of frightful prec-
ipice, without tremOr; but we do
shudder at the possibility of being
crushed under loaded Pullman bunk
by several hundred pounds of human
avoirdupois. Then, it may be educa-
tion, and it may be fancy, but we can't
we'll get accustomed to exhibiting the
mysteries of feminine toilet to bachelors.
Such dodging in and out among half
dressed ladies, in their attempt to shy
past the gentleman in undress, who,
though sublimely unconscious of their
own state of semi-nudity, don't fail to be
serenely conscious of feminine diSha-
bile, would be excessively amusing if
were not one of the dodgers yourself.
