KILLED BY A MAD DOGS BITE.

few weeks ago amad dog visited the vicinity of
Empirevlle and Croton Lake, biting several dogs
belonging to people in the neighborhood. Every
dog that was known TO have been bitten was imme-
dlate killed. and therefore serious conseq
were anticipated. II appears, however. that some
cows belonging to Mr.. william Rocket, had been
bitten, Tor on Wednesday last. two OF them were
found lying dead IN field and IL was apparent that
the animals had suffered very mrch for about where
they were lying. the ground had been torn mp dur
ing their fits OF madness. Previous to the day on
which they were found dead they had shown symp-
toms OF the terrible disease.

A YOUNG CHAMPION.

On Monday eve ing last, at the COM
mencement exercises Of the Portland
High School, We were not a little sur
prised to hear o.e Of the young ladies,
Miss Winnie HUI aker, pronounce fear
lessly In favor Of 1litical equality for
woman. The reading of her essay,
"Whither?" was admirable, and she
was accorded deep attention. We ad-
mired tie GOODNESS with which the little
lady stepped to the footlights. There
was something in her voice and man
ner that said she was doing right and
stating truth. She advanced arguments
in support Of her opinions, and her self
conscious air showed that she was cog
infant of her unassailable position. A
large number Of bouquets were present.
ed to the young lady, and more and
heartier applause was accorded her than
any other member of the class.
Il is indeed gratifying to see these
utierances received with such marked
favor, when but a few years ago con-
tumely was the offering accorded to any
woman who dared to champion the
cause Of her sex. Ten years ago young
lady graduate who dared to utter such
opinions would have been listened to
only through courtesy; to-day she is
applauded and honOred. The succeed
ing ten years will witness a still greater
increase in the popularity Of the cause.

sQUAWs' RIGHTS.

Even the Indians are awakening to
the importance Of the woman question.
During the recent pow-wow at the Una
tilla Agency, wherein the Umatillas.
Walla Wallas and Cayuses were repre-
sented by their chiefs and leading men,
Chief Homily is said to have spoken
very sensibly, aud in a manner which
many pale-faced sachem would do well
to initiate. He said that every man
must think and Let for himself, and the
women also hal voice in their affairs.
Under the treaty which they had con-
vened to considc-, every person over
eighteen years Of age was entitled to l6O
acres Of land, ard all children to forty
acres, in the possession and cultivation
of which they would be protected, free
from taxation, for the next twenty We
years.
Now, II the United States will 90 as
we'll by the taxpa ying women Of Oregon
who are over els fhteen years OF age, they

proper quota Of the public taxes. If
Brother Jonathan would only deal half
as justly by his pale-faced sisters in
property matters as Chief Homily ex-
presses himself ready and willing to do,

dusky matrons upon the Umatilla Res

could only have a3 good a chance as is
now offered to ultaxed Indian women

Another Truth- Teller.

Mr.. J. J. Owen, editor of the San Jose
(CaI.) Mercury, writes as truthfully as
Mr.. Pixley, Of the Argonaut, con-
cerning Oregon. The following are his
ideas of Portland and Oregon, gained
from actual observation:
The more see of Portland the more
am / impressed with its commercial
importance and many business adj
vantages. Some Of its wholesale es-
tablishments will compare favOrably
with those Of San Francisco. It's peO-
pie are self-reliant and confident. In
all of my tramping through the city !
have not seen the sign "FOr Sale" and
scarcely one "FOr Rent"
Oregon is not a manufacturing State
Her eutire population is only about two
thirds that of San Francisco, and yet
she is capable of sustaining population
Of many millions. Whether or not so
large a number of Inhabitants is desir-
able, depends entirely upon the quality
of the article. Her people should not
be too eager for immigration. It will
come quite fast enough in the ordinary
way. A rush of badly-assorted human
ity would fall upon the State like
blight. Portland is prosperous to-day.
Her merchants and hOtel-keepers are
making mOney-mOre than they will a
dozen years hence, when with double
their population, competition will be
vastly increased. Mechanics and labor
ers appear to be busy, although there is
the usual throng Of idlers, and doubtless
would be if double eagles could be had
for the trouble Of picking them up. The
learned professions appear TO be crowded
here, at the bottom, a. everywhere else,
with plenty Of room at the top.
The Oregon people and country,
through envy or Ignorance, have been
shamefully misrepresented, and greatly
misunderstood, by CalifOrnians. Ore
gOn is n State Of mighty possibilities.
We should rejoice in her prosperity
Her people are our people; her destiny
ours. In business matters, il is true,
she has ways of her own, ways that
the average San Franciscan might re-
gard as conservative. Her people are
slower. They do not rush as though
their lives depended on their getting
somewhere in n minute. There is a
sOlidity about the peOple-their build
ings-their business ways-that is COM
mendable.
Accustomed annually to about as
many feet Of rain as the Santa Clara
Valley recei YES inches, the indications
of humidity are elsewhere manifest
in the freshness and luxurianee of the
verdure, in the accumulatIOns of moss
I upon the roofs OF the buildings, and es-
peeially in the magnitude of the rivers.
But the people are becoming accustomed
to it, and think nothing of it. During
several months of the year they have
learned to expect almost continuous
rains, and are prepared for them. They
have no "pOstpOnements on account of
| bad weather" Even the ladies, eneased
/ from head to foot in mantles of light
I OilclOth, venture out in the heaviest
rains, aud attend to their shopping and
social calls as in the fairest weather.

unRFGoN STYLE

To those who are fearful that the
"Oregon style" Is about to decline and
decay, we commend the perusal of a few
extracts from Eastern Oregon papers.
That the Mountain Sentinel is one Of the
foremost exponents of the attractive
fashion, is evidenced by the following
from the leader Of that journal of June
2lst:
Two Of Oregon's pious stump-ihumpers, who

comet. There is no other sin so dam

sin that carries with it so much of big
otry, intolerance, tyranny and self
righteousness. II these presents hurt
our brothers. feelings, we are mercifully
glad. We punish him for the same
reason that the conscientious mother
eorreets her obstinate child, and with
the same charitable motive. We want
him to pluck the beam from his own
eye that he may see clearly whether or
not there is a mote in ours. If he would
attend our lectures sometime or permit
US to send him the NEW NORTHWEST

matter, but We are eOntending for a
principle, and cannot conscientiously

WROTH SENATORS.

COnkling and Lamar were the partici-
pants in a most disgraceful scene in the
Senate on the 10Th. ConkIiug charged
the Democracy with bad faith, and
Lamar felt called upon to reply, espe-
cially as be had heard that Coukling
had denounced him personally, and did
IL in these words: "It is not my habit
to indulge in personalities, but l desire
to say to the Senator that in intimating
anything inconsistent, as he has done,
with perfect good faith, pronounce his
statement as a falsehood, which l repel
with an uumitigated contempt that l
feel for the author OF it," Conkling says
Lamar's attack upon him was unpro-
voked and unexpIainable upon any per-
sonal grounds, his charge Of bad faith
having been made against the whole
Democratic side Of the chamber, and
was not especially applicable to Lamar.
The dispatches also announce that there
is no prospect Of a duel, as Conkling
does not recognize the "cOde," and La
mar, having been the first to give the
lie, cannot send a challenge according
to "the rules governing matters con-
eerning the duello." It is said Conk-
ling is consulting with friends in regard
to pushing the matter in some other
way. The Senators need the refining
presence of intelligent ladies on the floor
of tho Gauata IN mako them hold their
tempers and tongues in check.
