Senator Mitchell concluded his argu-
ment before the Senate Committee on
transportation routes to the sea-board
in favor of his bill for an appropriation
of $25O,OOO for the construction of a
canal and locks at the Cascades of the
Columbia River. The committee unan-
imously authorized him to report the
bill to the Senate with an amendment
making the appropriation $15O, and
recommended its passage. 1t is the in
tention of Mitchell to offer the bill as
an amendment to the river and harbor
bill when it reaches the Senate.

PBTTERED LABOR,


One of the most pitiful spectacles, and
at the same time the most amusing, is
to see women attempt to accomplish
any work for the public veal, while
they are totally deprived of all political
power. Instances of this are seen al
most daily, for, Notwithstanding the in
ertness induced and imposed by custom,
which possesses, perhaps, the great
masses of women, relative to work in
the broad field of humanity, many, very
many, are arousing themselves to the
importance of doing something to right
the giant evils that sap the foundations
of virtue and corrupt society.
To-day, it may be, few will traverse
the streets seeking signatures to a petit
ton asking the Common Council to
abolish houses of prostitution within
the corporation limits. First nerving
their souls to do the work from which
they, but for the love of humanity that
is strong within them, would recoil,
they persevere in the errand, meet
scotfs, meaning smiles, and significant
glances, without wavering, counting
themselves fortunate if they escape
downright insult; names of good and
true men are secured (the names of
women count for naught) in numbers
sufficient to encourage them to present
the petition; it is presented, received
with smiles or words of derision, laid
upon the table, and only taken there
from to light the cigars Of the members
to whose consideration it was given.
Women are not voters, and their right
of petition, if not denied, is treated with
contempt.
Again we see faithful few hoping to
eradicate the evil of drunkenness by
their only weapons for offensive or de-
fensive warfare, prayer and entreaty.
Again they are treated with contumely,
if not with absolute persecution, their
prayers burlesqued, their entreaties
Knocked, while voters at the polls just
across the street laugh them to scorn,
deride their puny show of strength, and
defy them with ballots.
Again women meet to devise ways to
rescue their fallen sisters from infamy.
All that the fertile brain and ready in
tuition of women can suggest is sternly
met by the consciousness of her politi-
cal helplessness; for what, indeed, can
any number of a disfranchised class dc
to aid legislation, when one bad woman
can control sufficient votes to send to the
Legislature whom she will?
Helpless, baffied, but not dispairing
women are thus struggling slowly and
painfully up to the light, and when il
shall burst upon them, showing them
the necessity for political power, with,
out which they can do nothing, they
will with one voice make demand fol
enfranchisement, which men cannot
choose but heed. Many, many women
already feel that "To be weak is to be
miserable, doing or suffering"

Owing to the general lack of interest
manifested in school matters by the
'free white male" population of EN-
pire City, the editor of the Coos Bay
NeaCs asks, pertinently: "Would it not
be well for the next Legislature to pass
a bill allowing the women to vote in all
matters pertaining to our public
schools ?" He further adds: "We be-
lieve they would take more interest in
these matters than the men do, and that
it would tend to the improvement OF
these institutions" Men will in due
time find out that the presence and aid
of women in every department of gov
ernment will "tend to the improve
mentp thereof.

PRoNoUNCING.-In her "reminiscences
of her life at Southbridge, Mass, Jennie
June says:

bridge to my knowledge, and that was
an elderly deacon's wife; the way it
came about was this: I was my neph-
ew's teacher, as we'll as my brothers.
house-keeper, and on one occasion, when
we had been invited to dine in state at
her house, she called out to Egbert in
high voice from her end of the table,
Sonny, won't you have some puddin'?'
and, to the horror and CONSERVATION of
his papa and myself, the terrible infant
replied, quite as loudly, I guess if you
lived at our house my aunt would make
you say pudding l am sure at that
moment wished grammar and correct
pronunciation were with truth at the
bottom of we'll; but it was of no avail.
Going home, my revered brother re-
marked, 1T will never be forgiven, Jen-
nie;' and he proved to be right; 1t never

LETTER FROM CORVALLIS.
To THE EDITOR OF THE NEW NORTHWEST:

To THE EDITOR OF THE NEW NORTHWEST:
Please grant me space to make few
suggestions to Woman Suffragists: Let
every man who believes in Woman Suf-
frage take his wife, if he has one-if not,
his sweetheart-withh him to the polls
next June, and if her vote be rejected,
let him leave without depositiug his
own ballot. 1 would like to see the ex-
pertinent tried in every precinct in the
State by every man who is in favor of
equal rights. If, however, men dislike
thus to forego the prerogstive of citizen
ship, let them see to it that they vote
for candidates for the Legislature who
can be depended upon to vote right upon
the subject when it is brought before
that body, and not only vote for them,
but 1Dork for them. Here is surely a
chance for men to prove their boast of
interest in all that affects the interests
of women.
When Mrs. Loughary came among US
a few weeks ago, went to try to secure
hall in which she could speak to the
men and women of Corvallis concern
ing things of interest to all, aud wish
ing to get the Courthouse, went first to
the county clerk, who sent me to the
sheriff, and he in turn to the County
Judge. This last individual, however,
l did not see, as the sheriff expressed
himself as decidedly opposed to allow
ing the Courthouse to be used in the
interests of the women of Benton
county. Let men who are so fond of
! declaring that women have as many
rights as men have, explain to us why
| the Courthouse is locked against the
former for even the privilege of listen
ing to a lecture within its walls, and the
same doors always swing readily open
at the behests of men. Men of Benton
county, who believe that your wives
have as good a right to the use of the
property of this county which they have
helped you to acquire as you have, re-
member these officials next June when
they ask for your suffrages. The ex-
cuses made by different individuals tc
whom l applied for the church were
amusing, and showed the straits tC
which our opponents are reduced in or
der to dodge the question.
Rev. Boswell refused to publish the
notice for the lecture in church, re-
marking, piously, that he ''did not pub
lish political lectures on the Sabbath }
Perhaps comment on the style and quail
ity of piety that is too holy to announce
lecture fora Christian woman on the Sab
bath is not necessary, though we can
not choose but remember that our Lor,
himself proclaimed by His acts on NOR
than ore occasion that it was lawful t,
do good on the Sabbath day.
The lectures, notwithstanding all op
position, were delivered at the appointe,
time to large audiences. Brother Car
ter's fears that they did the cause NOR
harm than good are without doub
groundless. Mrs. Loughary certainl,
received the attention and consideration
of our best citizens while here, got goot
audiences in every place she visited il
the county, and was well pleased will
her reception and the prospects of tn,
cause hereabouts. And no wonder, TO
her presence, language, and logic canno
do otherwise than command respec
wherever she goes. G. w. BETHERs.

Some one, whom the editor of the Bee
designates as the Northwest woman"
has, according to the said editor,
strongly limited that he was fond of
home and delighted in the perusal of
"mOral and religious books" He SIM
pers, pleads guilty to til" imaginary
charge, and avows his hostility to
strong-minded women. Far-fetched,
brother; and transparent, also. That
Northwest woman" whoever she may
be, evidently don't know you.
