THE SPECIAL SESSION.

Before we again go to press the State
Woman Suffrage Association will have
met at Salem and counseled together
as to the best means for fastening the
day for woman's political emancipation.
The work in this connection has always
devolved upon a few, and usually these
few have been more than many others
compelled to attend to their home af-
fairs, and contrive ways and means to
defray their expenses, so that these will
not be taken from family funds that are
or should be alike free to each member
of the united head. Men who have
never had anything to prevent them
from going when and where they liked
and staying until it suited their pleasure
to return, often have the efrontery, ol
are inconsiderate enough, to ridicule the
woman movement because but few
women, comparatively speaking, take
part in its public work. The coming
session may be well attended, but if it i,
not, it will not argue that working
women of the most intelligent classe:
remained away because they did not de-
sire to go, or because they do not wisl
the cause of woman to succeed. Humid
reds of women will watch with feverist
anxiety for reports of the meeting in th,
various papers, who could not, if thei
lives depended upon it, control money
enough to pay their expenses to tht
capital and keep them there three days
We hope, therefore, if the attendance i
not large, that our brethren will under
stand the cause. There are many nobl
and earnest workers in the State-anr
of these not few reside in Salem-an
upon them will fall the most of the la
Dor. The President is host in herself
and with such valuable auxiliaries a
Mrs. Belle w. Cooke, Mr.. and Mr.:
John Mimic, Mrs. Johns, Colonel Reet
Mrs. F. F. Victor, and host of Others
will not fail to give our assembled solou
reasons good and convincing for givin
women the ballot.
Good friends everywhere, rally so fa
as is possible to the aid of the leaders i
r this great work, ,'and we will all retur
to our homes with a consciousness
5 duty performed, whatever the result
! our labors may be.

DEAOONESSES.

Rev. G. H. Northam, Baptist min
lister of Nomini, Va, discoursing upon
this subject, takes an advanced and en-
lightened view of its importance, and
supports his argument by quoting st.
Paul. Speaking of the testimony of the
great disciple, he quotes from his
Epistle to the Church of Rome as fol-
lows:
I commend unto you Phoebe, our sister
(which is a diakonon, or deaconess), a servant
of the Church in Cenchrea, that ye receive her
in the Lord, as becoming saints, and that ye
assist her in whatsoever business she hath need
of you; for she hath been succorer Of many,
and of myself also. Rom. XVI, l,2)
Commenting on the above, the rev.
erend gentleman very sensibly remarks:
This good sister must have been a deaconess
in one of the churches at Cenchrea in st. Paul's
day, otherwise he would not have spoken Of
her in terms so fully implying his appreciation
He commends her to the Roman Christians as
worthy of their love and sympathy because
she had so well and effectually fulfilled hel
duties as a deaconess, or officer in the Church
He further insists that, as woman,
work is engaging more attention thar
ever before, the subject very properly
invites candid consideration, and con
cludes with his own experience in th'
matter, thus:
In all well-organized and well-traine,
churches we have this service performed b,
selfappointed sisters. They see the need G
such offices. Their benevolence prompts then
to action, and they ought to have the approva
of the churches 70 cheer them in their "wort
of faith and labors of love-" In my own tw
churches our deaconesses have the entire cor
troll of all money matters; and can testif
that they are always prompt, not only in visi
ing the sick and ministering to the wants {
the needy, but are always first and foremosti
lending their aid and contributions TO sustai
our missionary enterprises.

ECONOMY GONE TO SEED.

The first bill which passed the Lower
House during the present session was
one to appropriate the sum of $500 to
provide for an exhibition of Oregon
fruits at the Centennial. In the debate
upon this bill in the House, Ferguson,
a sagacious member from the renowned
county of Yamhill, argued that Oregon
had been advertised too much already.
AS an objection to the measure, he
urged that the specimens of products al
ready sent were not fair samples, and
were calculated to deceive the people;
that all enterprising and intelligent
people knew all now that was at all
necessary to know concerning Oregon,
and he was opposed 10 advertising it
any more.
1t is certainly a matter of neither
State nor local pride to have a member
who purports to represent a portion OF
our commonwealth thus placing him
self upon the records as belittling Ore
gon, charging the magnificent samples
of her products as exhibited to the ad-
miring world as frauds, calculated to
deceive instead of to enlighten the ma
tions with regard to her wonderful pro-
ductions. We dislike to class Mr.. Fer
guson, who owes whatever he is, has, or
expects to have of honor, emoulument
or competence to the glorious Oppor.
tunities afforded by our young State
with those who seek always to draw un.
favorable comparisons between this ant
other portions of the Republic, but we
are at loss how to otherwise account
for his narrow views upon the advan'
tages to be derived from a widespread
knowledge of the resources Of Oregon
In distinction to the views of the mem
ber from Yamhill county-by-the-wa
a magnificent fruit region-we refer Il
the able advocacy of the bill by Mr.
Cheesman, of Lake county, who spoke o
the variety, deliciousness, and abund
dance of our fruits, and the great advan
tages that would accrue to the State from
a proper eXhibito of the same in attracting
hither increased population, and ad
ditional capital to till our valleys an
develop our resources.
Economy is well, and deserving of al
praise; pitiful penuriousness, however
is very different thing, and is, in pri
vate life exasperating enough, but
when applied to matters which concer
an entire State it is short-sighted and de-
eterious in the extreme. We hope tina
the honorable member who "got hi
start in and from Yamhill," will nc
again go upon the records as so total
unmindful of her interests.

THE LEGISLATURE.

The sessions of the Legislature this
week have neither been prolonged nor
overcrowded with business, there hav-
ing been too much feverish anxiety on
the Senatorial question to admit of work
calculated to benefit the State. There
have, however, been a number of bills
introduced by both bodies, some of
which have passed to a second and
third reading. Each member seems to
have pet scheme or bill to engineer
through.
Among those that have general sig
nificance we find that our common
schools, transportation projects, the
penitentiary, keeping of the insane, and
immigration plan receive attention,
while bills relating to local matters are
numerous and wordy. One of the bills,
of which three have already been pre-
sented, relating to our common schools,
prohibits the reading of any book, tract,
or paper, or the imparting of any in
struction to bias the minds of pupils in
favor of or against anyreligious system.
VanCleave, who created some stir by
opposing the opening of the Senate
with prayer, is the author of this pro-
viso, the object of which is perhaps to
exclude the Bible from public schools.
A bill by his colleague, Mr.. George, Of
fers amendment to the textbook law,
and proposes to change the school age
from four to twenty years, to six and
twenty-one.
The first ballot for United States Sen
ator was taken on Tuesday. The nomi-
nees were Jesse Applegate, J. w.
Nesmith, L. f. Grover, and T. f. Camp

will receive prompt attention.

WHATS IN A NAME 2"
We remember to have read long ago
sentiment expressed something like
this.

a sentiment expressed something like
this:
There is a strange deformity
Combined with countless graces,
Asioften in the ladies' names
As in the ladies' faces"
And we never examine any school or
seminary catalogue, or newspaper list
containg the names of women, or even
an advertised letter list, but we think of
it. Fashion, not content with deform-
ing the bodies of women, has also
played cunning freaks with their
names, and, for the staid and sober
Sarahs, Marthas, Nancys, aud Eliz-
beths of olden time, we find Salliesa
Matties, Nannies and Lizzies; and, how
ever it may look to the owners thereof,
we confess to a more profound respect
for the persons who bore the substantial
names than for those who are desig-
mated by the pretty, frivolous deriva-
tives. The former names, as written in
the olden baptismal registers, and pro-
nounced by quiet, motherly mothers
are suggestive of helpful hands and
earnest characters. The latter, as lisped
by the boarding school miss and fret
fully echoed by her nervous mamma,
are suggestive of childish helplessness
and frivolity. Take up a work by a
woman author and glance at her nom de
plume. If it is Myrtle Linwood," ,"
what do you expect? If George Eliot,
what? If you are looking for strong
delineations of character, such as are
helpful auxiliaries to success, which
author will you peruse? If the day is
warm, and the body languid and the
brain listless, and you wish something
which you can idly read without men
tai effort, which book will you use? A
baby, it is true, may fitly be called by
an endearing and Insignificant sobri-
quet. A little boy even may, with
propriety, be called Johnnie or George
but to call a man by such a name
causes him to seem utterly insignifi
cant. So, also, a little girl may be
called Sallie or Lizzie, but, as they ap'
proach womanhood, let them answer tC
a name that is suggestive of womanli
ness and strength of character. A
writer in Scri5ner for September says
You can scarcely pen more suggestive sat
ire against the helpfulness and independents
of woman than to wrap her up in terms o
daily cOddling and childish endearments sucl
as pet names suggest. For instance, persist
entity TO call the two great chieftains Of woman
advanced status, LiSzie Cadie Stanton ant
Susie B. Anthony, would crush at one strok
the revolution they have so much at hear
Under such sweet persiflage it would soon sin
into languid imbecility, and furnish fresh foo
for laughter.

WHAT ONE WOMAN Is DOING.
Vancouver, W. T.

Mrs. Loughary, than whom no more
energetic worker in the suffrage ranks
exists, writes under date of September
18th: "I have addressed a large number
of persons, soliciting their presence and
aid at the special session of the Woman
Suffrage Association so soon to convene,
and have received many kind and
cheering responses: Have finally sue
ceeded iu making all necessary ar
rangements at Salem for hall, music,
etc. One of our petitions was recently
returned from the little village of Phi
lomath, Benton county, (where, as you
may remember, spent a few days last
spring. with eighty names attached.
Among these is the signature of a man
over one hundred years of age. AS
everything is Centennial, we might
ftly call this a Centennial petition, and
head it with the centenarian's name.
l am going through Marion county to
Silyerton next week to give two or
three lectures, canvass for the New
NORTHWEST, and for signatures to Pc
titions. Will stop at Salem as go and
make some further arrangements, and
will return to that city on the 25th.
Am constantly asked to address this
man and that woman in various parts
of the State, and am still writing. In
deed, am sure if our friends heed
written words we shall have a grand
rally. In any event, we shall do our
best to get the attention of our law
makers to the demand of women for the
ballot.4

have to compete with thirty odd States,
many much older than this. We have
to compete with the great State of Cali
fornia. We compete in this
grand Centennial with the great eOun-
tries of Europe. If necessary, make it
five thousand. Allow the cheek of the
honest Oregonian to flush with pleasure
when he sees your magnificent display
before the nations of the world. Now
is the time! 1t will do more for US
than any other measure that we can
pass" Ferguson, of Yamhill, spoke
against the amendment: "The show of
Oregon is but as a grain of sand on the
seashore. Let us not deceive the people
in the East. We do not need any more
advertising, because the more intelli-
gent will find it out if the country is
good for anything, and we don't want
any other kind here" Fenton moved
