ANOTHER.

The fair young State of Minnesota
has, by the persistence of women and
the prejudices of men, been compelled
to place upon her records decision SIM
liar to one that has before been placed
against Wisconsin. Mrs. Martha An
gle Dorsett, of Hennepin county, in that
State, has been refused by Judge A. H.
Young admission to the bar. This lady
has been practicing law in Iowa, and
passed an examination which the judge
above named declared to be the best
within his knowledge for a long time.
His refusal was based on statute which
says: "Any male person of the age OF
81 years, of good moral character, and
who possesses the requisite qualifica-
tions of learning and ability is entitled
to admission to practice in all the courts
of the State" The judge admits the
above qualifications are all possessed by
this applicant, but he holds that she
does not come within the statute, mas.
much as she is not "male person."

Notes From the Lecture Field,

"Woman Suffrage is unpopular"
"Public opinion is against it." "Wom-
EN- are its most bitter opponents"
Everywhere we hear these, and like
assertions, and so frequently are they
repeated, that even many of the friends
of the cause believe them true.
But where the people have had an op-
portunity of reading the arguments and
hearing discussions on Woman Suffrage
it is not unpopular, and public opinion
is largely in its favor.
The means of becoming well Informed
on this subject have been limited. The
press generally has not been favorable.
This great educator and promoter OF
public opinion has been on the opposite
side, and the cause has suffered from
adverse statements. Comparatively few
lecturers have endorsed it or have plead
ed especially for it before popular audi
ences. Yet, with all these obstacles in
the way, it is not unpopular among the
most Intelligent classes. Those who
have heard once, are anxious to heaI
again. Travelling, as l have travelled
thousands of miles, through the States
of Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Iowa.
| going from town to town, holding meet
! ings by hundreds, talking with both the
| leading men and women in these places
! it is probable that l may have formed &
| tolerabIy correct opinion of the views o.
the people on this subject.
We count among our best friends hun
dreds of the most able men in the ma.
ton. Men who stand highest intellect
ually, morally and socially in their Owr
| States. We know this is true, not only
in the States mentioned, but also il
Massachusetts and Ohio, and doubtless
in all the other States. Some of these
are giving time, talents, and money fol
the promotion of Woman Suffrage.
"Women are its most bitter Oppo
nents," it is said. Not so, my friends
This does not apply to women as class
If attending meetings, signing petitions
and becoming members of Woman Suf
frage Associations and clubs are eviden
ces of friendliness to and belief in tht
principles, then are women its bes
| friends. More women than men atten(
the meetings. In many cases we hav,
seen the audience composed almost en-
tirely of women. Storms of rain, slee
and snow did not deter them. Create
numbers of women sign the petitions
and become members of the Association
Such has been invariably the case wherr
we have travelled. That it is true here
as elsewhere, we doubt not.-Mdtttdc

WAIT AND SEE,

The question as to who will be the
next President of the United States con-
tinues to agitate the public mind and is
still Obscured in doubt and beset with
grave complications. 1t is settled, at
last, that South Carolina has given a
small Republican majority, and the
count in Louisiana and Florida still goes
on with both parties vigilant. Our
opinion that Hayes will be the man is
as yet unchanged, and an opinion is all
that any one hazards now. Another
week may tell the tale that shall set
doubts to rest and unlock pool-boxes,
and it may not be told until the meet
ing of the Electoral College. Suspense
becomes more endurable as you become
more accustomed to it, and there is
nothing to do but to wait, wait

A NEW COMPLICATION.

To add to the complications that be-
set the recent Presidential election and
beat from one wave of suspense to an
other the thousands who are watching
and waiting with unfagging interest
the issue, we have the disqualification,
real or imaginary, of one of the electors
chosen by the voters of Oregon to re-
spond for them in the Electoral College.
If anything more was needed to impress
the people with the folly of voting for
and electing President by proxy, this
is surely the thing. The very idea that
because DR.. Watts held post Office by ap-
pointment of the Government it should
render void the vote of the people of
the State for Hayes is too absurd to
compete with patience. Absurd as it
is, however, long and loud talk of throw
ing out in the final count the vote for
DR.. Watts and substituting for the same
the vote for the Democratic elector who
stands highest on the ticket has been
and is still INDUCED in. We with a
large number of others, believe Cover
nor Grover and Secretary Chadwick to
be gentlemen whose high sense of honor
will forbid their participation in any
such scheme to misinterpret the senti-
ments of the people. This aside, we be-
lieve further, that neither would thus
with his own hands dig his political
grave, and erect thereon an inscription
of lasting infamy.
The legal aspects of the situation, per-
sons of unquestioned legal ability have
decided, and this we do not propose to
discuss. We know that law with its
technicalities is often at variance with
common sense, and while we profess to
hold common sense views upon the sit
uation and utterly contemn farce that
would seek to pervert the direct express
sion Of the people to party ends, we dc
not know but the law will sanction, ol
at least allow it. The lesson, if it teaches
nothing further, will cause conventions
to look out for the eligibility of theil
candidates in the future.

THE UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD.

A friend in San Jose, California, who
recently returned from trip to the
Centennial, writes as follows "We
women are having serious annoyance
on account of ignorance in regard to the
rules of the overland route Desiring
that other women may escape the trou-
BILE and expense which we have had, 1
ask you to publish the following: All
persons, especially women with chill
dren, who are about to pass over the U.
P. and c. P. R. R. will save themselves
much trouble and expense by remem-
bering that half fare will be exacted for
children of five years on these roads,
OF no consequence will it be that a
ticket agent East or West has told you
that such children would pass free. On
the Union Pacific 1 know the conduct
ors will detain ones baggage as security
for such fare. Quite right that conduct
ors should follow instructions given
them, and quite as inst is it that the
travelling public should be treated re-
spectfully, even though it be necessary
to be firm. More gentlemanly con-
ductors than are on the Central Pacific
are never met with"

EThe suffragists of Yamhill county
who assembled in convention at the
county seat last week showed their ap-
probation of the services of the repre-
sentatives of the men of the county in
the late Legislature, by an appropriate
resolution expressive of the same. We
learn from persons who were present
that the meeting was orderly, well-cOn-
Quoted and interesting. 1t has, with
out doubt, left good impression on the
people who attended and watched its
workings.

Elizabeth BoyntOn Harbert, President
of the Illinois State Woman Suffrage
Association, supplements a private let
ter with the following: GAS President
of the Association, would be glad to
receive a letter from you giving us an
account of the work in Oregon, and also
the benefit of any suggestions or plans
you may have for future work. 1t

tion and concentration of effort we could
accomplish more. In the hope that the

THE WASHINGTON MONUNIENT.-As
the Washington Monument now stands,
in it's melancholy and incomplete con-
dition, a mere OblOng block set on end,
it strikes the eye with the effect Of be-
ing only the foundation on which pro-
posed structure is to rest. But plain
and unsatisfying as tbs, according to the
present, 4. e., the original plan, the part
to be added is to be nothing more than
a mere continuation to a greater height
of the same inharmoniOus straight lines,
the same utterly unadOrned surface of
masonry. The pier of bridge, even,
is not built with so little regard to what
is pleasing as feature in the landscape.
The chimneys of all but the very COM
monest grade of factories have more of
feature or ornament about them, or re-
Iieve the unsightliness of their necessa-
rily rigid perpendicularity than has the
model of this great monument. When
it is asked why it is that so fitting
tribute to the memory of Washington
as that of raising a monument to his
honor has been so long delayed, the an
swer is not far to find. l believe it is
because the taste and good sense of the
American people cannot consent to such
a model. It-has never taken the slight
est hold on their admiration or their af-
fection, and they will not consent to pay
several millions of money to erect so
preposterous thing.

LETTER FROM WASOo COUNTY.

To THE EDITOR OF THE NEW NORTHWEST:
We have just returned from a trip to
Prinesville. Everybody has heard of
Prinesville, situated in Ochico Valley,
in this county. 1t is about thirty-five
miles from here-a long way to go to
mill, yet that was the business that
called us over there. But aside from
the business, we had nice time visit
ing, while there, and along the route.
Prinesville is all excitement just now,
and everybody talks mines, mines. OF
course you have heard of the discovery
of silver wells in this county; but for
the benefit of your readers that do not
have access to the daily papers, will
! give you little account of what I have
heard of this bonanza" The location
of the discovery is sixty miles above
Prinesville, on the little creek called
Camp Creek, which, believe, empties
into Crooked River. The whole surface
of the country for miles is. covered with
mud springs or wells, and persons can
push long pole down into the mud
without finding bottom, and on letting
loose of the pole it will work itself out.
The mud resembles soft soap very much,
and is claimed by the discoverers to be
about half silver, in a chloride state. 1
think quartz has also been found and
the dry dirt surrounding these walls is
very rich, is some kind of glittering
metal, but whether silver or not, I can
not say. Although several parties from
this section have located claims,
none of them seem competent to judge.
And, Notwithstanding the reported rich
ness of the assay made by the discover
ers, everybody seems to doubt it little.
However, we will soon be able to say
for certain, as parties whom we can trust
have sent quantity of the ore below to
be assayed, and the result will prove to
us whether it is really the mine ot
wealth that everybody is hoping it. is
All who have visited the locality say
there is enough there for everybody. ]
await further developments with great
s anxiety.

pR. PTLKINeTON,s LECTURE.


We had the pleasure of attending on
Sunday evening at Good Templars'
Hall, a lecture delivered by DR.. ]. B.
on the "Sixth Command
ment," in which he ventilated quacks
and quackery in a manner that cannot
fail to make sober sensible people think
twice before they part with their money
in exchange for quack nostrums labeled
"Sarsaparilla," "Soothing Syrup" etc.,
etc. The erpose of this class of nos
trums and their irresponsible COM
Founders and venders was so clear and
complete as to be almost startling. 1t
was, however, upon quite another di-
vision of his grave and important sub
ject that the doctor gave the most
shocking statistics and unwelcome facts.
Ante-natal murder, that most horrible
and unnatural crime, the joint result of
the subjugation of women to the follies
of fashion and the lusts of men, was
portrayed in a manner which was all
the more startling because undeniably
true. His scathing structures upon this
cowardly crime-this murder most foul
fell upon the shameless abortionists
who, almost totally "unwhipt of JUS
tice," ply their nefarious arts, wrecking
the health of thousands of misguided
and doubly outraged women, and build
ing up in many instances colossal for
tunes upon the blood of unborn chill
dren. The lecturer stated truly that the
underlying causes of this monstrous
guilt could not be discussed in a single
lecture. Chief among these causes he
justly placed the individual subjugation
of women, but for obvious reasons fora
bore to elaborate that portion of his sub
ject for the present.
We have indeed long wondered why
the medical profession have not lifted
their united voices against what they
cannot choose but know concerning the
sufferings and wrongs entailed upon
mothers, and through them upon fast
degenerating race, because of their sub
jugation to laws and customs that de-
prive them of the rightful ownership OF
themselves. But while the great army
of physicians know beyond peradven-
ture of the existence of these giant evils,
few have been found who have dared to
freely denounce them, or even mildly
protest against their blighting effects
While this is the case, and even while
ministers continue to call out, quote
and put into practice such texts as are
to be found in the mythical curse pro.
nounced upon Eve, "Thy desire shall be
to thy husband, and he shall rule ovel
thee" we feel that a professional mar
who dares to tell the truth, albeit some
of its most vital points are but hinte(
at, is worthy of all honor. We venture
to hope that DR.. Pilkington will max,
this lecture the first of course to be de
livered here and elsewhere. throughou
the State. A person so well calculated
from medical knowledge and experience
as well as from sympathy with suffering
humanity, to make plain, facts of sucl
grave import to the human race, shoul,
certainly not hide his light from th
world.

New York, October 31st, 1876.

We understand that some of the men
taxpayers of Yamhill county seriously
objected to allowing the women tax
payers the use of the county Courthouse
in which to hold their meeting last
week. The recalcitrant voters will
probably take refuge from oppression in
secession, if another such outrage is Of
fered to their rights. When women
have sensible men to back their just
claims they can afford to smile at pig
mics, and when armed with the ballot
can laugh them to scorn.
