Stoleo Rods.

We all know hos that sharp young man
played it fine on his father in-lsw, some
years ago, before newspapers were thought
Of. The interesting little story is related
in the Bible, and the gist Of the joke lay
in plicing spotted rods where tie Aocks
drank. BY this little piece Of legerdem ain
this ingenious young man obtained two
wives and tolerable iairstart in the world
There vas an humble Imitation Of this
Biblical precedent this morning. Twogen-
tlemen made up their minds to 60 fishing.
The rods aud necessary tackle we're pro-
cured, and while one Of them went to pro-
cure the bait, the rods were stood behind
q building in front Of the Garrison House.
A young darky BY the name Of Hickman
came along and saw his opportunity, and
the rods. He levied upon them imme-
diately and lit out for Darkeytovn, where
he sold both Of them. Al. Conner vent to
look for his rods. and 10! they were not.
He 20, on trail Of the thief and finally re.
captured his property. The moral Of this
story-if there is any morality in is-goes
to show that while 6fleen-foot fishing pole
is not the most convenient thing to carry
around in six-foos room, the chances are
IL you don't carry 1t With you, that you and
rod both will be left.

RAILROAD NEWS.
ST. LOUIS, vINIrA AND TEXAS.

ST. LOUIS, vINITA AND TEXAS.
The Missouri, Kansas and Texas and ST.
Louie and San Francisco railroads, have al
last buried the Ratchet. Henceforth the
passenger trains of the latter will be taken
through to Texas from Vinita by the NJ. X.
Formerly the NJ. X. and T. did all it could
do to block the ST. Louis and San Francisco
out OF through business. The connections
were al~ays bad at Vinita, and the traveller
had to race with his satchel some half
mile TO the place where the NJ. X. and T.
then stopped. A circular has been issued
BY the general passenger agents requesting
connecting roads to put on full lines of cou
pom tickets and baggage cheeks. The circu-
lar calls the route the St. Louie, Vinita and
Texas line, and says that Pullman cars will
run through from St. Louis.
How THE STATE LAW WORKS.
When the passenger rates on Missouri
railroads we're lowered to three and four
cents . mile on the, LIST OF April, in CON-
formity to the State Law, it was generally
thought by railroad men that the gross
local passenger earnings would greatly de-
crease. The railway commissioners argued
otherwise and thought that low rates would
increase the volume of local travel enough
to make up for the loss in rate. 1t is hard
to Judge from the returns of thee weeks,
but at least one road running into St. Louis
has increased its local passenger earnings
under the new order of things. The Kansas
City and Northern has, without additional
expense, carried enough or more passengers
to bring up its gross receipts to q higher
point than they were last year. This ap-
plies only to LEGAL business, and has moth
ing 10 do with the through business, or emf.
grafton business, which has been unusua tally
heavy this season. Farmers and dweIlers
upon the road in many instances use the
cam now between stations where formerly
they rosded it. and in general the country
folks travel more than they did. Whether
this increase is only temporary or not it is
impossible to tell. There are those who
are confident that If the next Legislature
should repeal the State Law The railroads a.
. body would not return to old passenger
rates.

PUNISHMENT NOT ENDLESS.

To THE EDITOR or THE NEW NORTHWEST;
l had thought to offer no word or cog
itation of mine concerning the old
dogma of eternal condemnation, which
has received such a setback lately as TO
cause many men and women who be-
lieve in hell to tremble lest they be
mistaken; but your Oregon City eorre-
sPondent has inspired me, and / cannot
longer hold my peace.
First, then, let me ask your CORE
spondent who clears hell" to carefully
review his own logic, that he may see
bow much more thoroughly he is fright
ened than injured. He sees 'no reason
why the pros and cons of all subjects
should not be discussed in the public
prints which the people patronize," nor
do l; so We cannot differ upon that es-
sential point. But-he will excuse the
eriticism-why does he, in the next
paragraph, demand that all discussion
shall cease, If the Bible hath spoken /?
Does he not contradict himself?
Again, how does he knOD that God is
author of everything the Bible says {?
Has he the proof? If so, will he pro-
duee it? Aud how does he account for
the paradox he unconsciously admits,
when, after labOring to convince us that
there is hell, he takes you to task,
Mrs. Editor, for saying that you prefer
to teach your children that they must
atone for their own misdeeds by asking,
Did not Christ atone for all sin upon the
cross, that We, through his death and
suffering, might inherit everlasting life?
Now comes this, to me, logical query:
If Christ atoned for all sin, thus causing
us to inherit everlasting life, is not the
atonement already made, without our
interference Aud if man is of more
value than many sparrows, aud not a
sparrow falls to the ground without our
Heavenly Fathers care, need we not
safely trust that it will be well with Us
at last? 1 believe that we shall find our
deserts in the life immortal, whatever
those deserts may be, and am perfectly
willing, like Job, to wait my appointed
time till my change shall come.
ONE WHO Trusts GoD.
The new Northwest. [volume] (Portland, Or.) 1871-1887, 1878-02-08

Now, in the face of facts and figures
like these, can anybody wonder why
everybody except the few who have
money at interest feel the hard times {?
Clearly, there is no business extant
which will justify a rental Of large
amount Of capital for any length Of
time at rate of interest exceeding
three, or, at most, four per cent. per
annum. And money at these rates pays
better than any business in which it is
employed. Yet the people go on, and
on, paying exorbitant rates of usury,
year after year adding to their load of
financial care, and year after year grow
fngi less able to bear it, till at last a
financial crash precipitates them at the
foot Of the ladder, and they are COM
PEELED to go into bankruptcy.
The politicians are in fearful mud
die. Many of them are so desperately
in debt to monied Shylocks that they
feel compelled to uphold the system that
ruins them by inches, in the hope to
thereby stay the evil day, which is sure,
at last, to come like death, to crush
them. But they are agitated, and in
their agitation are agitating the vexed
question, and through their throes will
doubtless come, sometime, the birth Of
a brighter era. Then will begin the
dawn Of a financial day wherein hard
times for the industrious and econom-
ieal man and woman will be a memory
rather than a presence.

STATE WOMAN SUFFRAGE ASSO-
CITATION.

The sixth annual meeting of the Ore
gon State Woman Suffrage Association
Will be held at Albany, commencing
FEBRUARY u, 1878, at P. NJ, continuing
three or more days. The place selected
is central and easily reached by railroad
and river. Arrangements are being
made for return free tickets to ali in at
tendance. The kind people Of Albany
will freely share with US their homes
and hospitalities while there, thereby
greatly reducing the expenses. We
hope, therefore, that members and
friends will not permit trivial excuses
10 keep them at home. Such as cannot
attend will please remember that money
is a very essential element in carrying
forward any cause, and will forward
their annual dues to our Treasurer, Mrs.
Mary Minto, Salem, OF to the Associa-
tion when convened.
The State Temperance Alliance will
also meet in Albany the following week.
Why can there not be hearty cooper
alton with these two bodies in the work
Of temperance as there is in other
States
The Association will devote much
special time to the temperance work,
as usual, and doubtless many will tarry
to aid in the Alliance. We hope, there
fore, that many Of the temperance work
ers will lay aside their prejudiees aud
go into both bodies and aid in the same
work.
As many of the exchanges of the
New NORTHWEST in the State as will
publish this notice will confer a great
favor on the Association.

LETTER FROM CANYON CITY.

To THE EDITOR OF THE NEW NORTHWEST:
The petition lately sent to Congress
from Canyon City, praying for an
amendment to the Constitution of the
United States that will grant the right
Of suffrage to all American citizens,
without regard to sex, contained a
large proportion of the names of the
most Influential ladies resident here.
Many of them in point of culture and
true womanly bearing are the peers Of
any your metropolis can boast of. No
one is better posted than yourself touch
ing the interest that most true culti-
waited aud refined ladies, wives, moth
ers, and daughters, take in the suppress
sion of intemperance, and they having
learned in the bitter school Of experience
that their prayers, tears, and entreaties
are utterly powerless, when opposed by
the ballot, have resolved to test that
peaceful weapon in their prayers and
supplications hereafter. Who that can
didly reflects can blame them? are
NhNJ wv NhN EiGAiGok VI ali EuntEtIS ul
by this giant evil? l deeply sympa-
thize with them in this view of the case;
but II 1 knew that every signer to that
petition, if vested with the right they
seek, would vote to sustain the liquor
traffic, and all the evils that legiti-
mately flow from it, still would insist
that their right to the ballot is, and of
right ought to be, fully equal to that
Of their fathers, their husbands, or their
brothers. Aud whilst have advocated
the temperance cause all the days Of my
life, and expect to do so the balance of
IL, L never, never-nO never-can place
the right of suffrage upon such narrow
aud contracted ground. Still do not
wish to belittle or make light Of the
views Of those who may honestly differ
with me. They are as much entitled to
their opinions as to mine; hence 1 say,
all honor to the ladies Of Canyon City
and of Grant county, yea, and of all
other counties who have sent up their
petitions for the Sixteenth Amendment.
My kindest regards to you and yours
and the friends Of the cause everywhere.
