NEEDED RECREATION.

Several years ago we remember in the
announcement of the annual Confer
ence of the NJ. E. Church great pains
was taken to proclaim that mo provis-
ion would be made for the entertain
ment of ministers wives" This very
narrow, selfish, and inhospitable act
brought upon the heads of the brethren
such a storm of indignation from sisters
who had spent the strength that be-
louged of right to their children, and
time that should have been devoted to
their own culture and preparation for
the present life, and through it for the
life eternal, in concocting through sum-
mer's heat and winters cold dainty
dishes to tickle the palates of epicurean
ministers, that it was not thought best
to repeat the insult. There is, indeed,
marked difference between the perempt-
ory refusal to entertain these toil-worn
helpers in the Masters work few years
ago, and the request made this year by
the preacher in charge at Seattle, that
heulUeTS vi Iuo OIeSOu NOuleISuCe
who anticipate bringing their wives
with them to Conference will confer a
favor by furnishing information imme-
diately of their intention, that provision
may be made for their entertainment"
Women compose the great body of
the NJ. f. Church, land other churches,
too, for that matter, and do two-thirds
of the work connected with the dissem-
ination of the gospel within its limits,
and preachers and laity alike have
learned that they will not submit to in
suit in meekness, nor be ignored in si-
lence merely because they are 1Oonlen.
Cooks, scullions, hand-maidens, and
drudges of the most menial type have
they been to ministers and elders ever
since the days of the Wesleys; uncom-
planning, to all outward appearances,
but wondering, if not rebellious at heart
for all these years, until within the last
decade they have caught the inspiration
of individuality.
To toil-worn and weary wives of min
listers, who have spent the Conference
year in acts of self-denial, benevolence,
and hospitality; who have economical
so as to make the preachers pittance
provide comfort for the household and
entertainment for frequent guests; who
have lived lonely lives in isolated cir
cults where the discretion of the bishop
cast their temporary abiding places; to
all of these we say, go, if possible, to the
annual Conference; drink in health and
renewed life, purpose and energy from
the invigorating breezes of Puget Sound
If there is benefit to be derived from
change of air and relaxation of home
cares for awhile, get your share of it
Your home and your children; youl
husband and his parish will be the bet
ter for it throughout all the year. Go
and may heaven bless you, and make
the ever-present baby that you bear il
your arms too happy to disturb your en-
joyment or break your rest by single
fretful wall.

STATE TEACHERS INSTITUTE.

We are in receipt of carefully ar
ranged programme announcing the an
nual meeting of the State Teachers In
stitute, which will take place in Salem

of our most prominent educators appear
upon the programme, among which we
note that of Professors Anderson, Pratt,
King, and Crawford, of Portland, Pro-
fessor J. w. Marsh, of Forest Grove,
Rev. P. S. Knight and Miss Powell, of
Salem, and Mrs. NJ. P. Spiller and Pro-

Superintendent Rowland is untiring in
his efforts to advance the cause of edu-

should be seconded by all friends of true
culture. The attendance and co-opera-
tion of all such he earnestly solicits, and
we feel certain that the time spent in

AN EXPLODED IDEA.

Every one who has read-and who
has not?-the arguments against Wom-
an Suffrage, advanced during the years
that are past, will remember that those
that do not hinge upon the domestic
difficulty" hinge upon the cry of Gun
womanly women" or some equally alb
surd platitude. 1t has been predicted
that interest in political matters will
make women careless of their dress,
"manish" in their manners, patrons of
short dresses, monstrous head-coverings
and blue cotton umbrellas; and this, un-
mindful of the fact that women who have
brains-and most of them have a modi-
cum, at least, of that article-are always
interested in politics, and discuss the
election probabilities in animated and
earnest words, while buttoning dainty
gloves, arranging delicate laces, fasten-
ing neatly-fitting CATERS, shaking out
voluminous hounces, or tracing intri-
cate plans in embroidery. But the alb
surdities of opposition based upon the
ground that suffrage privileges will
serve to make women unwomanly in
dress never come out in such glaring
colors as when these same critics criti-
else Woman Suffragists for dressing
elaborately. Having declared that the
entertaining of suffrage principles will
make women careless in the matter of
dress, these carpers find fault with and
ridicule them because it does not. Thus,
in speaking a short time ago of DR..
Clemence S. Lozier, President of the
National Woman Suffrage Society, a
well-known suffragist wrote that on a
certain occasion DR.. Lozier twas attired
in a handsome black velvet costume
with point lace and diamonds" Fault
was found-not with the dress, for that
was surely womanly enough and taste
full enough to put to flight the assump-
ton above mentioned, but with the fact
that so noted a suffragIst should disap-
point carpers by giving attention to
dress, and that another suffragist should
see fit to mention it in her press report.
1t is about time for the world to know
that women have learned to be forcible
without forgetting to be womanly, and
that women reformers, writers, suffra-
gists, leading women in the domain of
thought, of action, of principle, as we'll
as queens of home, have not and will not
forget the traditions of their sex. The
theory that woman must either be a
vapid, weak, unstable bundle of nerves
and frivolities, or dress in untasteful
garb, has been long ago exploded with
persons of average discernment. Won.
en- who are active workers in the worlds
broad vineyard may and do dress as be.
comingly as do those who are quiet
dwellers by obscure firesides. Common
sense teaches that so far from there be,
ing incompatibility between intelli,
gence and good clothes, that women anC
men of broad ideas consider it duty t.
be as we'll clad as their means will per
nit. 1t is not the independent owners
and disbursers of their own earnings
but the protected" women, paupe
wives, who go about in scrimped, un
tidy, and untasteful raiment, and looI
forlorn and unwomanIy. Look abou
and see if this is not the fact.

THE GEO. s. WRIGHT" DISASTER

Victoria papers of the 18th inst. give
details of the testimony furnished by
Billy Coma, Indian cOal-heaver, and
sole survivor of the Inflated steamship,
"Geo. S. Wright" concerning the MUIR
der of Captain Ainsley and several of
his officers and crew by Indians near
the scene of the wreck. The mystery
which shrouds this sudden and fearful
shipwreck will probably never be fully
lifted, but Sufficient is now known to
render the fact clear that the disaster
was supplemented by the butchery in
cold blood of the survivors of the fearful
wreck by the Indians; and that some
five or six men, including the Captain,
escaped the treachery of the cruel sea,
only to fall victims to the greater
treachery of more cruel savages.

THE SENATORIAL PARTY.

1t is a consolation to know that if the
disclosures made before the Senatorial
committee gave the distinguished trio
who but lately made temporary home
in our city contempt for the material
that composed the majority of our last
State Legislature, they at least had
chance to form a favorable opinion of
the country. Senator Saulsbury's over
land route will take him homeward
through some of the finest farming
lands and most magnificent mountain
scenery that can be imagined. Senator
Mcmillan journeyed up the valley as far
as Albany, and in Marion and Linn
counties saw the thousands of acres of
grain just as they were taking on the
golden harvest tint and nodding with
their burden of glorious harvest promise,
and the orchards bending beneath their
weight of finest fruits. Senator Morton
journeyed upon the broad Columbia up
to The Dalles, where the pressing and
growing commerce of Eastern Oregon
asks loudly for gateway by which her
surplus products can come down to the
sea. 1t is matter of regret that time
would not allow the Senatorial party to
take a leisurely trip of observation on
the Sound, as we'll as to various other
points in our State and Washington
Territory, as in this case they would
certainly have returned to the eastern
part of the Republic grandly impressed
with the magnificent region that COM
poses its northwestern domain.

his hire" The end, however, will be
as heretofore. It is one of those cases
that always follows precedent. Capital
eats not; can afford pecuniary loss
which usury will soon make good. La
Dor hungers, thirsts, starves, and must
submit. It is the old, old story, and the
sequel will be as sad and hopeless of
good as formerly.
