w. Morgan, We find the following
propoetic words: -
"Just now, my friends, . vast deal

What do these men mean by . re-
turn to specio payments? Do they
mean that at the option of the holder
of bank bill he shsll obtain gold
when he presents tho bank noto

nothing of the kind. With banker
and bondholder, resumption Of specie
payments means . further contraction
of the currency; it means less mon ey !;
it means the still further shrinkage Of
an value, except gold and bank stock
and bonds; it means to make one dol
lar buy two dollars worth Of proper
ty it means to double the fortunes Of

A rRIGHrFUL LEAF.

BUFFALO, N. Y, May 2i.-This af-
ternoon HI. p. Peere, Of Testerville,
Ont, accomplished the unprecedented
feat Of leaping from the new suspen.

seething waters of Niagara River. and
coming out safe and sound. The dis
lance jumped was 192 feet, and eclipses
the renowned leap of Sam Patch in
1929, who jumped l42 feet.
Peere's dress was composed of meTin0
hose aud full suit Of tights, and an
inflated rubber life preserver, funnel
shaped, Of his own design and con-
struction, which covered his hips and
extended up to his armpits. Cotton
cloth was tightly banded over the pre-
server about the loins, and . sponge
protected his mouth and nostrils. His
ears were stuffed with sponge dampen-
ed with spirits, and his thighs and
feet were firmly held by elastic bands.
A leather brace over the shoulders
held . ring, to which was attached 1872
feet of brass wire cable coilsd upon
reel, and unwound by the weight Of
the daring jumpist. It also served to
keep him in an upright position with.
out at all retarding his speed. At S:S5
o'clock Peere stepped upon the tempo

He suspended himself by his hands

abyss like an electric flash. Four Sec

he struck the water feet foremost and

assembled multitude. He was taken
Into boat and reWed ashore, and Was

MASSACHUSETTS, VOTERS.

The yoluminous reports Of meetings /
of women voters in Massachusetts show |
how eager are women for the suffrage, |
even though it is restricted to school |
matters. The fact that the ladies apply
constantly for registration disproves the
assertion that they will not vote if they
have chance. They have either al
ready organized or are organizing
throughout the entire State, and their
proceedings are always marked by ear
nestness. Boston proper has been di-
vided into districts, and the leading
Woman Suffragists will endeavor to
have a full vote polled. Miss Frances
E. Willard recently lectured in Hyde
Park on the new duty of women. She
illustrated the fact that school suffrage
prepared the way for succeeding steps,
and urged that the right now secured
should be regarded as boon to be used
with JOY. Hyde Park is the home oi
Angelina Grimke Weld, who was the
first woman to open her lips for the
slave, and who, in connection with her
sister, Sarah Grimke, and Abby Kelly
Foster, broke down the wall which shut
women away from public speaking and
from expression on any aud all ques-
tions of popular interest. East Boston
and other divisions Of the city, together
with Cambridge, Chelsea, Nantucket
and other cities, will be properly repre-
sented. Each of the places named mas
been divided into sections by interested
and public-spirited women, and each
will be properly canvassed, in the en-
deavor TO cast full vote. Nantucket
birthplace of Lueretla Mott, is partieu
larly anxious to give full representa-
ton, in honor Of its noted champion o
freedom. In addition to the above
mentioned places. there are numbers o
others that are taking steps TO reap thl
advantages Of the rights now offered
and in the course of another month th
entire State will probably be properl.
eanvassed. BY exhibiting a desire T.
fulfill the duties of citizens in what
considered by men so small matter a
selecting school committees, they vii
give evidence Of their appreciation
citizenship, and can soon hope to excl
ercise unrestricted suffrage.
In this State, where women also vot
at school elections, there is little activ
opposition to the enfranchisement

is inaugurated and a determined fgl
made for it, impartial suffrage wi
probably be granted.

JUST INDICATION.

To THE EDITOR or THE NEW NORTHWEST
The people Of this remote district are
surprised and shocked by hearing Of an
evidence Of the refinement (?) and intel
ligence (?) Of Jacksonville society, that
rather eelipses anything of the kind
ever heard of in this part of the country.
You have often heard the adage, "The
pen is mightier than the swori;" but
Jacksonville is the first to match eggs
against brains. Notwithstanding We
deprecate the practice OF airing unpleas-
ant family histories for public reading,
we have not heard that any one has at
tempted to deny the truth Of what Mrs.
Duniway has written in regard to a
member Of the bench.
1t is a notable fact that the mob did
not attack Mrs. d. during her lectures,
but made the assault at the house of a
defenseless woman. One would natu-
rally suppose the honorable (?) people
Of the city would take some steps to
have the disturbers of the peace pun
ished. Had a crowd of our Butte Creek
ers been guilty Of such au outrage, the
peuitentiary would scarcely be too great
punishment. But it makes all the diff
ference in the world Ito the just Judge
whose OK is gored.
The presence of Mrs. d. in this county
has brought to the surface so many
more friends Of the cause she advocates
than her best friends anticipated, that
we feel quite jubilant, even though none
of them appear willing to fight for her,
especially with Jacksonville weapons.
We consider the weapons emblematic OF
the cause they are used to defend, which
must be rotten indeed when such means
of defense must be resorted to. Doubt
less the advocates of the "aristocracy oi
sex" call such conduct argument.

nOREGON STYLE

A couple Of weeks ago we published
extracts from our valued and able East
ern Oregon exchanges, showing that
there was no immediate danger Of the
decay OF the "Oregon style" in journal
ism in this State. The fact that their
productions were given to the world
through our columns has stimulated
them to renewed efforts. However, our
space is somewhat crowded this week.
and we regret that we cannot favor the
world by republishiDg their latest par
agraphs, and request the editors to be
satisfied with this explanation of their
non-sppearance in our columns. How
ever, We will state that the latter pro-
ductions are up 10 the high standard oi
journalism which has heretofore char
acteriZed our contemporaries east Of the
mountains; persons given to flattery
would even insist that they show q
marked improvement in the coveted
"style.n

The Bulletin, the leading commercial
paper Of San Francisco, says: 'In Ore
gon the crops, as is customary, have
suffered from too much rain. Owing to
the immigration, the acreage is larger
than In former years, and Oregon's sur
plus will be an increase upon last year.
In the eastern counties Of that State and
in Washington Territory the want Of
facilities for transportation materially
keeps back grain production. But there
are several narrow-gauge railroads in
course of construction. The extensions
of the branches Of the Pacific Coast end
Of the Northern Pceific will soon be
available for transporting grain to the
seaboard."

A Woman On the Finance Question.

The Greenbackers of Maine have a
woman in the field as campaign orator.
The Chronicle, published at Portland,
speaks thus of her ability in the field:
Mrs. DIR. Stills speech was one of the
best ever delivered in Auburn or any
where else. She is complete mistress
not only Of the subject OF finance, but Of
all the methods and arguments to en-
force it. Some Of the points she made
show her to occupy place in the front
rank Of greenback labor orators. There
was some prejudice here against wom-
ans speaking on this subject, but the
general sentiment now is that she ought
to be heard everywhere. This, we be-
lieve, is true wherever she has spoken,
and we do not hesitate to confidently
recommend her to any and all green
back orators. A dozen such speakers
constantly employed till election would
make Major Smith Governor.

The city council Of Oregon City has
that every minor found on the
streets later than nine o'clock hereafter,
unless possessed of an official permit,
shall suffer severe consequences. There
have been a number of romantic oc-
currences" lately, which have caused
the council to turn its attention to the
consideration of youthful propriety in
the Lowell of Oregon. The time to cor
rect the youth is before they are old
enough to be under the surveillance
Of the law. If allowed to go unchecked
until the city government has to take
them in charge, there is little probabil-
ity Of a correction of bad habits. The
home is the proper place to inculcate
ideas of morality and manhood. How
ever, there is a possibility that the
"hoodlumism" spoken of is an efferves-
cence Of juvenile spirits, and will settle
of itself before manhOod's years are
reached.
