A Conflict Of Facts.


Mr.. L. B. Andrews, the Repub-
lican candidate for Delegate in
this Council district, in his first
published manifesto, says:
II am in favor of assessment and
taxation of all kinds of property
alike public or private, Except such
as belongs to the State or General
Government and exempt under the
Constitution and laws Of the United
States) for the support of State,
county and municipal government.
The burdens of taxation should fall
on all alike"
If Mr.. Andrews did not in
clude within his plan of taxation
all churches, chapels, syna-
gogues, lyceums, public and
private libraiee, cemeteries, and
all Incorporated schools, colleges
and seminaries of learning,
then his language has no mean
ing. But Mr.. w. B. Hall, in a
card published over his own sig
nature, says:
1.-The impression now pervading
the public mind that L. B. Andrews
is in favor of incorporating into the
constitution of our prospective state
taxation of church property, is a
fraud, instituted for the sole pur-
pose only of defeating a solid, bed
rock man."
It is manifest that either Mr..
Andrews did not know what he
was saying, or his friend, Mr..
Hall, is very much mistaken as
to his views. It's but reasonable
to suppose that the voters who
know Mr.. Andrews will attribute
to him sense enough to know his
own views.
In a subsequent address to the
voters by Mr.. Andrews-which
is much more creditable to his
heart than to his head-he CON-
plains of efforts being made to
defeat him by "contemptible
trickery and eschewing for no
purpose on earth but to satisfy
personal jealousy and spite" We
cannot define the literal meaning
of this sentence, but the intent
is evident. We are among those
who have expressed opposition
to the platform upon which Mr..
Andrews presented his claims to
support; but have never, direct
ly or indirectly, reflected unfa-
vorably upon his personal char
acter, or sought in any dergee to
misrepresent or distort the posi-
ton he undertook to define in
public print, nor have we heard
from any source, Of any attempt
to defeat him on personal
grounds. We arc willing to con-
cede to Mr.. Andrews all the So
clal qualities of a irst-elass citi-
zen-a man of honor, a devoted
son, faithful husband and affec-
tionate father. Our opposition
to his election is not because we
have no faith in his promises, but
because we believe he would
faithfully adhere to the platform
to which he stands pledged,
which we would very much dis
like to have embodied in State
constitution. If there has been
any trickery or "eschewing" to
defeat him; or if he is an object
OF jealousy or spite, we do not
know it. We only know that
his views of constitutional pow
ers are radically different from
ours.

Justice to woman.

We are no advocate of female
suffrage. Suffrage is not among
natural rights; else 1t could not.
be limited to age, sex, color or
condition; but a conventional
usage, to be regulated by social
conditions fer the best good of
societyo It would be perfectly
competent for the government
to confine the privilege to male
citizens over the age of 21 years,
who can read and write; or to
extend it to all intelligent mi
nors over the age of IS. Resi-
dence should be indispensable,
but the possession of property
should confer no special prlvil-
eyes under the law, except in
cases of special taxes for local
improvements, when the prop
erty-holders and tax payers
should have the exclusive priv
ilege of voting upon the ques-
tion whether to tax themselves
for that purpose or not. AS a
rule, we believe that no class of
persons should be allowed to
vote who are not subject to mil
itary duty, except in cases of
physical disability. No general
rules regulating suffrage can Sc
cure to all an equal voice in the
government; minorities are prac-
tically disfranchised at every
election; but it does not neces-
sarily follow that their equality
of rights are impaired in cense-
quence. We do not believe that
the political condition Of women
would be at all improved by
comforting upon them the priv
ilege of suffrage, while their So
cial condition would suffer as
greatly as though they were
subjected to military duty.
Mans progress and elevation IN
the social scale depends upon the
elevation Of women, and in that
view we would exempt the
women of our land as far as pos
sible from the rougher duties and
responsibilities of political gov
ernment, the associations of
which inevitably tend to the
destruction of feminine purity
and grace. But We would not
have such exemption depend
upon the surrender of any ma
turai rlght-the right of person
and property; "the inalienable
right to life, liberty and the pur-
suit Of happiness" the right to
her own earnings and the control
of her own personal accumula-
tions; to an equal right IN the
joint earnings of the marriage
relation and the disposal Of the
same; equal rights to the posses
sion and control of their Joint
issue. In fine, that the law
should make no distinction or
discrimination between the
rights of sexes. We would Sc
cure these natural rights to wo-
men beyond the contingencies of
Legislation, by a clearly express
ed Constitutional provision. We
believe that such a provision
would meet the views Of every
candidate for Delegate in this
Judicial District; the only ques-
ton being, if they would con-
slider it the popular thing to do.
We know that Col. Larrabee
dared 10 advocate such a measure
in the Constitutional Convention
of Wisconsin thirty years ago,
when politicians wore much more
chary Of meeting this issue than
they are now and we have no
doubt he will do the same thing
again when opportunity offers.

obssructIonlsts.

The Walla Walla Statesman of
the 3Oth ult. says:
ELECTION FARcE.-Tuesday, April
9th, the Republicans will go through
the farce Of electing delegates to .
so-called constitutional convention.
Democrats in this quarter of the
Territory propose to ignore the
whole matter, and will fail to put in
an appearance at the polls. The
more respectable Republicans feel
the same way, and 80 the choice of
delegates will be left to the rag-tag
and bob-tail element in the party.
Another article in the same
paper Of the same day says:
kilograms are being constantly
sent up from the Sound notifying
our people that certain men are can
didates for the constitutional con-
vention. Our Sound friends are at
liberty to run as many of their can
didates as they please, but once for
all they may as we'll understand that
our people take no interest in the
matter, and intend to let the election
go by default.
The party papers upon the
Sound accuse the "Federal ring"
Of being obstructionists, because
the Federal officers, as a rule,
have not meddled with the mat
ter Of nominating candidates.
The Republican politicians here
say that the Democrats have
managed to control the Conven-
ton; and the Democrats east Of
the mountains are constantly
told that tho act of the Legisla-
ture providing for the Conven-
ton, was a put-up job by Ferry
to give the Federal officers the
control of the Convention.
Men who are ordinarily hon
est in their business transac-
tions, and who maintain a decent
social standing, lend their influ-
ence to giving endorsement and
currency to these miserable and
illogical pretences. The truth is,
that the act of the Legislature,
which is the most miserable de-
vice ever thought of for the Or
ganization of a State govern
ment, has not a single feature Of
the plan recommended by Gov.
Ferry in his annual message;
that the Federal officers as a
class are less in accord than any
other class of the community of
equal Numbers. There is no such
thing as "Federal ring" acting
in concert with a common in
tent. Each department is, to all
intents and purposes, ga gang
by ITSELF" The Executive, the
Judiciary, the Land Office, the
Indian department, the Internal
revenue and the Customs de-
partments, are each Independent
of the other, and there is but
little fellow feeling or social in
tercourse between any two of
them. 1t would be a rare COM
bination for Gov. Ferry and
Chief Justice Lewis, Collector
Webster and Indian Agent Gen.
Milroy, to act together for any
special purpose.
We have no political sympa-
thy with the Federal officials of
this Territory, because we are
an ardent supporter of the pol
icy of the present national Ad-
ministration, and as a general
rule they are not; our personal
relations with them are purely
of social character; but we can
not understand why party feel
ing should constrain men to mis-
represent, or blind them to man.
ifest fact. The most determined
obstructionists are those Demo-
Gratis who are represented by
the Statesman, but we do not un-
derstand that it is strictly a
party failing.
