One More Unfortunate.

Almost every day the papers chronicle the
suicide OF some poor unfortunate whose mind
has been enfeebled by dyspepsia, over whose
earthly horizon heavy gloom has gathered
from the untold and unreliable agonies of this
cruel complaint. Dyspepsia is one of the most
depressing diseases affecting humanity. 1t is
cosmopolitan in its nature-nO country is ex-
empt from Its visitatiOns, no family free from
its attacks. There is a balm In Gilead; it comes
in the shape of the PERUVIAN SYRUP. For
years it has been scattering its blessings
abroad. There is, probably, no disease which
experience has so amply proven to be remedi-
able by the PERUVIAN SYRUP as dyspepsia.
The most inveterate forms of this disease have
been completely cured by this medicine, as
ample testimony of many of our first citizens
proves. Sold by all druggists.

"ARE YOU ?"

w. B. Highly still refuses to answer
to roll-call. The statement that he en-
barked at Yaquina on the .. S. light
house tender "Shubrick" and was con-
veyed thence to Victoria is emphati-
cally denied by the captain of that ves-
sci. So that assertion falls to the ground,
and ingenuity is writhing in vain en-
deavor to invent some new means of es-
cape from the country for this man to
whose actions cling such unmistakabIe
evidences of perjury and fraud. 1t is
in vain to cry, "Higby, we are anxious;
Where are you?" "Are you?" is echoed
back from the mountains, and all i:

The AMERICAN NEWSPAPER DIRECTORY is an
epitOme of newspaper history. 1t is also re-
garded as an official register of erculations.
This feature requires the closest scrutiny to
prevent it from leading to abuses. The plan
adopted by the publishers of the DIRECTORY to
secure correct and trustworthy reports is rigid
in its requirements, and is adhered to with
impartiality. Successful publishers, who have
something to gain by comparison, are gener-
ally prompt, not only to send reports in con-
formity, but give Messrs. Geo. P. Rowell & Co.
such information as enables them to weed out
unsubstantiated statements of pretenders in
journalism. The popularity of the book, and
the general confidence in its accuracy and good
faith, are attested by the immense body of ad-
vertisements it receives. 426

LETTER FROM NEW YORK.

To THE EDITOR OF The NEW NORTHWEST
Please accept the sympathies of one
who, like yourself, is victim of over
work, and hence is on the retired list
this summer. For six weeks past /
have been enrolled thereon, idle, except
in thought and conjecture.
Of our New York conventions in May
you have had full accounts, and I will
only add my testimony that they were
good. With DR.. Lozier as our Presi-
dent and Susan B. Anthony as chair
man of our executive committee, we
feel that prosperous year is before US.
Do tell me from your standpoint what
you think of Woman Suffrage prospects,
and whether you pin your faith on to
State work or Sixteenth Amendment
petitions. AS to the first, am not very
favorably inclined toward it. 1t seems
enough that the men of our nation
should so fail to comprehend the princi-
Piles of our government.
What2 Deprive States of the power
of coming their own money, controlling
their own postal service, and other such
minor matters, and yet put the suffrage
individual representation, the very
foundation of our nation-in the hands
of States How unwise and short.
sighted. The next great national battle
will be fought, morally or physically, tc
settle the question of United State:
rights.
How long can we remain a nation IN.
der the present condition of affairs
and where is the rock upon which oul
hope is anchoredP AS to the Sixteenth
Amendment by-play, experience ha:
taught Us that petitions amount to little
unless backed by votes. Even anti.
slavery petitions hung by the eyelid:
and were met by gag-laws, though
white male citizens prayed. Mahomet
was wise even for this generation wher
he said, ''The sword is the key to heaven
and of hell" So far in the worlds his.
tory it has been the key of all political
heaven.
Perhaps it is the depressing influence
of weakness and inability to work wher
so much is to be done, but sometime:
fear that we older workers, the advance
guard in this protracted struggle, will
be forced to enter the kingdom unen.
franchised. We will, however, have
| the satisfaction of knowing that we
have sown literally that others may
reap a bountiful harvest; and as from
Mt. Pisgah, Moses beheld the fail
Canaan of promise, so we can even
now from the summit of Hope catch
glimpses of the broad fields of freedom
waiting to be possessed by those who
come after us.

As an item of news we see it stated
that "there are confined in the peniten-

even when classifying convicts, men

DOUBTFUL WIT.

Many men who lay claim to respecta-
bility very falsely imagine that slurs
and sneers, more or less covert or open,
shadowing the purity of leading Wom-
an Suffragists, are not only permissible
but extremely clever. Nay, after voic-
ing one rather more bold, indecent, and
uhcalled-for than usual, these Wanted
protectors of women imagine them
selves possessed of wit, sparkling, bril-
liant, and of first quality. The more
far-fetched and irrelevant to the subject
in hand are such slurs, the more self
complacent are these doughty knights
of the quill.

in the Oregonian of last Friday, he
