"THB LUXURY OF ITS OWN ODoR."

Brother Acton, with his customary
Christian grace and gentIeness, accuses
US of classifying the columns of the i'd
UOcdte." We emphatically deny that
we have done so, and challenge hin to
bring forward the proof. Concerning
the reduction in his subscription list,
we have only to say that his statement
relative to it does not tally with that of
some of his erewhile subscribers, and is
merely a question Of veracity between
them and himself, with which we have
nothing farther to do. He signally
failed to "make the worse appear the
the better reason" when he got so far
out of "his sphere" as to attempt to ex-
pound the woman question, hoping by a
stroke of his quill, which women fur
nish two-thirds of the means, directly
and indirectly, to keep moving, to put
a quietus upon women ministers. This
failure has naturally rendered him
somewhat irascible, and he relieves his
feelings by the charge quoted.
AS to his threat of placing the "NEw
NORTHWEST on file with the Catholic
Sentinel" we beg to assure him that so
long as he doesn't "place it on file" with
the Advocate, we shall find grace to
submit to any other indignity which he
may offer with-as we hope-becoming
fortitude. "Gnawing a file" isn't one
of our habits, and, if we might venture
to advise so august a parsonage as a
man who claims it as the sole preroga-
tive of his sex to expound the gospel to
the human race, and would suggest that
he leave off the unsatisfactory process,
and endeavor, instead, to feed upon
spiritual food that shall develop Chris
tian philanthropy in his soul sufficient
to enable him to comprehend the prin-
ciple of the "Golden Rule" With this
exhortation we leave the AdUocate for
the present to the self-conjured luxury
of its own odOr.n

COURTESY ACKNOWLEDGED.

After a man has long been your en-
emy, aud you have tried in vain
las you feared) to conciliate him, it
is refreshing to find that your former
kindness has proved to be "bread
cast upon the waters;" for 10 and
behold! when you least expect it he
will sometimes do you a signed favor
that cancels all his previous shortcom-
ings. Cur old friend Luce, of the Hills
bOro Independent, after having tried in
vain for a term of years to keep alive a
sort of one-sided rancor against the ed
itOr-in-ehief of the NEW NORTHWEST,
gracefully atones for his past misdeeds
by reprinting her publishers satire
without solicitation, when had he been
paid advertising rates, the same would
have netted him a considerable sum.
His favor is the more deeply appreciated
because she expects very soon to make
a canvass of Washington county for the
poem in question. He could not have
shown this Office a greater favor, and be
may rest assured that his journalistic
courtesy shall not be forgotten. That
satire cost the publishers OF "David and
Anna Matson" round price for one in
sertiOn in the New York Graphic, and
it was an advertisement that paid.
Thanks, brother Luce.

LETTER FROM EASTERN OREGON

To THE EDITOR OF THE NEW NORTHWEST:
First of all let me congratulate you
upon your safe arrival to the land of
plenty and the home of your loved
ones.
We, 1. e., the sufragists in Eastern
Oregon, are ready to go to work for Gus
great cause, aud are only waiting for
orders from headquarters to know how
to proceed. You are no doubt aware Of
the fact that we meet with opposition
here, but we feel firm to dare all and do
all,
"With cheerfulness, courage, and vim, -:
And are perfectly willing to face the en-
emy, feeling sure that we in time will
be able to cooperate with the great
army Of freedom and aid in securing for
our universal sisterhood the great boon
Of liberty. Judging from the arguments
Of our opponents bereabouts, we feel al
most certain that after q short, sharp,
and decisive campaign We should BE-
able to send 10 headquarters the immor-
tai dispatch, "Ws have met the enemy
and they are ours"
feel that I have no titas 20 fdls
away, having spent now f0rty-svs years
in servitude longing for at least half Of
that time for freedom. 80 wonder that
women 10 these conditions feel like a
change would be grateful. have been
compelled almost all winter to remain
indoors on account of inclement weather
and bad roads, and hence have not dis
cussed this movement with my neigh
bors as 1 would have liked to do, but so
far as opportunity has presented itself
have endeavored to draw people out on
the question and find many of them not
averse to the doctrine of equal rights.
If thorough canvass of this county
could have been made, have no doubt
but the number of signatures to the pc
tition for a Sixteenth Amendment
would have astonished even the most
sanguine of our friends. The time given
US, however, was too short to accom-
plish much over such an area of country
in the winter season.
But now the rigors of winter have
given place to the graces of spring, and
the very breezes, as they kiss the noun
tain tops and winnow the balmy air of
our beautiful valleys, seem to speak of
liberty and equality. So, now give US
link by which to form our chain; map
out for us plan for a spring and sum-
mer campaign and we will take up our
line of march toward the goal of free
dom with honest sentiments and deter
mined purpose. If we are not so strong
as we could wish, we feel assured that
"Our arms will never be stronger,
Nor the need as great as to-day"

TEMPERANCE OR SNOBBBRY
WHIOH2
A dispatch from Washington, under
date of April %, says:

A dispatch from Washington, under
date of April %, says:
A temperance organization was formed in
this city tonight, under the name of "AIrs.
Rutherford B. Hayes Temperance Society"
Resolutions were adopted endorsing the senti-
ments OF Mrs. Hayes in regard to the use of in
toxicating liquors at State dinners and SINH
lar occasions.
If the name of this society is not
enough to draw sycophants and para
sites toward it, regardless of temper
ance and temperance principles, and to
repel with corresponding force individ-
uals who endorse and adhere to princi-
Piles rather than persons, then we con-
fess that sycophancy is not what we
have supposed it to be, neither is indi-
vidual self-hood the thing of our dreams.
Persons who scout total abstinence as
thing fit only for the pledges of the
weak and a theme for the fanatic, can
shelter themselves behind the name of
the "Mrs. Rutherford B. Hayes Tenn
perance Society" and sip their costly
wines, lamenting, meanwhile, the in
decision of character that causes some
men to drink more than they can carry
without stumbling by the way.
Mrs. Hayes is doubtless an earnest
advocate of temperance, and is deserv-
ing of credit in that she has braved the
tyranny of custom in banishing intoxi-
90 ntc fropo Ctafo 1iD,ore $780, ,,,t IL -, -
presides. A woman who can thus stand
before the world, the leading woman in
a great nation, and dare ridicule and
defy heretofore inexorable custom, will
not hesitate to avow herself upon the
right side in all questions that affect
the public veal when the time shall
come for her to do so. But it is the in
dividual woman, aud not the "Mrs.
President" that is deserving of honor
for right doing, and to creep and crawl
in her name and the name of her hus-
band up to the Hayes exchequer for f.
nancial favors, or seek shelter under the
Hayes name for popularity, so savors of
snobbery as to be disgusting to any but
a sycOphant. To court favor by Obse-
quious adulation may serve to flatter
the personal vanity of individual mem
bers of the "AIrs. Rutherford B. Hayes
Temperance Society,"" and may possibly
tickle the vanity of Mrs. Rutherford B.
herself, but it will hardly bring happi-
ness to drunkard's homes bV inducinO
the illegal heads" thereof to abandon
their cups.
Temperance and impecuniosity have
usually gone hand in hand, aud the lat
ter has hampered the former greatly.
Snobbery may smooth the pathway of
temperance in the Capital city for a
time and displace impecuniosity, but it
will gather around it train that will
leave temperance far behind, if it does
not altogether hide it from view.

the case of the case of the United States
VS.. D. w. Cheeseman, formerly United

the many friends of the defendant in

from Mr.. Cheeseman: 81 am deeply in

the respect shown me by them. They
will not have to blush on my account.

LETTER FROM JACKSONVILLE.

To THE EDITOR OF THE NEW NORTHWEST:
Allow an earnest co-worker in the

you in your peregrlnations across the

awaited your return, to extend you
most cordial welcome to your home,

your own hands, with the seeds of
truth that are already yielding such
golden fruits for our common cause.

this section.
Our cause is gaining ground every
day, and it is folcing itself with steps
almost nOiseless into every home, no
matter how humble, in the land. Es-
pecially is the injustice engendered by
the selfish arrogance of masculine gov
ernment felt in the homes of the more
wealthy class. Among laboring people
