We must have them; we can not
do without them. With inexhaus-

POOR LO."


According to the following dispatch,
a foreshadowing Of coming report, the
Indians about whom so much outcry is
made are in better financial condition
than the average laboring white man,
and should be no longer clamorous
wards OF the government, supported by
the latter but left with the implements
supplied by the generosity of such phil
anthropists as Secretary Schurz to "hoe
their own row." ''The tenth annual re-
port Of the board Of Indian commission
ers when published will show that more
than one-half Of all the Indians have
discarded the blanket and adopted civil
lied garb. About half have changed
their wigwams for houses. The num-
Der OF the latter has trebled in ten years,
within which time pupils in Indian
schools have doubled, and the land cul-
tivated by the Indians increased five
fold. They raised vegetable food enough
last year to supply ten bushels to every
Indian in the country, aud possess on
an average Of one horse OF mule, one
COW, one sheep and one hog to every
Indian"

WORKING AND WAITING.

To learn "to labor and to wait" is a
hard lesson, often Encouraging lesson,
and a lesson that perehance is never
fully learned, never cheerfully conned
through a long lifetime of effort.
Soliciting the aid, few days since Of
large-bearted, energetic woman, for
the coming session Of the Annual
Woman Suffrage Convention, she said
despondently, 1--WE have worked and
worked so long in this cause, il seems to
me that the mosses of the ages cling to
IL already." aud knowing her struggles
and hopes and ddiseourageraents,w we could
not wonder that ''wait, wait, wait, had
assumed dreary sort Of monotone that
had in il more OF requiem than a pres
tige OF victory.
"Yet," we made combined answer aud
query, 'you are not ready to give up;
TO count all your past toll and labor lost,
and rest coutent among the prejudices
aud customs that were gray with the
rime Of antiquity before this question OF
equal rights was born ?'
"No," was the spirited reply, as the
lesson Of waiting" was again taken up;
81 am ready to yield nothing Of priuci-
pie TO the dominant power Of error,
even If wait lifetime for the tardy
accession Of right to the throne Of popu-
lar favor. You may count on me to 10
what | can TO assist in the work of the
convention, from entertaining workers
who come from abroad, to writing reso-
lutions indicativeo of our purpose to labor
for equal rights until our demands are
acceded to-"
Remember, good friends, that age, SO
far from working against any cause
where principle is involved, has con-
trary effect, enriching it with expert
ence and observation, which first named
essential to success our workers at the
outset necessarily lacked. "The race il
not always to the swift, nor the battle
TO the strong" and this tedious lesson
of waiting is no doubt an essential eIe.

which we labor, by preparing the mind,
Of the masses for its reception. This ID

following from the Denver Mirror as

The Way Our Neirbbors Voted.

His Excellency, Elisha p. Ferry, gov
ernor of Washington Territory, sets
forth by proclamation the result Of the
late vote in that Territory for. and
against the adoption Of the constitution
framed at Walla Walla last summer,
and for and against the Woman Suf-
frage and local option clauses submitted
as separate articles" thereof, and de-
clares the adoption Of the former, and
rejection Of the latter. The whole idea
of submitting a question of an inalien-
able right To the decision Of one-half the
people whose natural and just inherit
ance in the premises is no greater than
that Of the other half, is so utterly dis
gusting and repuguant TO US that we
have scarcely the patience TO chronicle
what, in the very nature Of the case,
was a foregone result. The result OF
the Colorado campaign where the igno-
rant aud priest-led greaser vote out
weighed all the unanswerable argu-
ments ofsuch women as Margaret Camp
bell, Miss Hindman, and their cortie Of
efficient cO-lsborers, should be enough
to disgust all intelligent sufIragists with
the plan Of submitting their case to the
unthinking masses. There was not an
effort made, so far as we are aware, to
carry Separate Article No. One" 1--WE
believe that was the one pertaining to

CHIEF JOSEPH IN WASHINGTON.

Speaking Of Chief Joseph's visit to
Washington, the Herdld's special says;
"Chief Joseph, Yellow Bear and A.Chap-
man, the agent, went to the Ebbitt
House, where they applied for admis-
sion. While waiting for the clerk to
assign them rooms, General Nelson H.
Miles, a well-known Indian fighter, who
drove Joseph aud his men into Canada,
came up t, the clerks desk. When the
General was recognized by Joseph a
hearty hand-shaking followed. Joseph
and the General engaged in pleasant
conversation for several minutes. 10
consequence Of the crowded condition of
the hotel, the party could not be pro-
vided with quarters there, and they lett
to seek accommodations elsewhere
Joseph is rather a good-looking specl-
men Of his race and has an Intelligent
face. He speaks English fiuentIy' ana
he and Yellow Bear registered thelr
names at the hotel themselves"

THE BARKING SEASON.

The condition Of the public's lui gs is
not As sound a il might he, and there
appears to be a tickling in the multi
tudinous throats OF the sovereign people
which we should be glad to have re-
lieved both for their sakes and our own.
inasmuch as the almost universal bark
which the tracheal irritation begets is
anything but pleasant to sensitive ears.
Opportunely, under the circumstances,
our attention is solicited to a medicinal
agent which is said to be the most eff
cient preparation for calming aud cur
ing cough, that the world has ever
known. It's ingredients, as indicated
by its name, Hale's Honey Of Hore-
hound and Tar, are certainly very sim
pie and wholesome. Pine tar is one of
the best pulmonics known. HorehOund
has household reputation everywhere
as cure for coughs ana colds, and
honey is the most healing Of lubricants.
We commend the article to the whole
coughing community.

The Denver Mirror, a wide-a wake
journal advocating universal suffrage,
published at Denver, Colorado, shows
evidence of prosperity by recent en-
largement. The suffrage sentiment in
that young State is evidently growing,
and that rapidly. The Mirror, however,
makes a mistake in its prospectus,
wherein it declares itself to be the "only
journal west Of the Rocky Mountains
that advocates universal suffrage"
The NEW NORTHWEST shows a record
Of nearly eight years, which disproves
this assertion, and We ask our CO.

AND TEMPERANCE IN SAN
FRANCISCO.

The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union Of san Francisco have formed a
permanent organization by the adoption
Of constitution and bylaws. II is the
intention to devise and practice means
10y which TO discourage the liquor traffic.
Every member pledges himself not to
use spirituous or malt liquors for domes-
tic or table use, and to discourage the
usage thereof by others. The retention
of the word christian" in the title of the
organization gave rise to a spirited and
lengthy theological discussion. The or
ganization ignores all sectsrian princi-
pies, hence it is deemed proper by many
to drop the word, which to many per
sons is only indicative Of creed, thereby
giving the organization wider scope.
