Major Reno, court martialed two
years ago for indeceucy toward a
woman, but pardoned by President
Hayes, has again gotten into trouble
for a similar offense. The victim Of his
latest insult is the wife of post trader
named Farnshaw, and the dispatches
indicate that the scene occurred at st.
Paul, MINI. Reno was drunk at the
time, aud very indecent. Another
court-martial has been detailed to try
him. He can hardly escape conviction,
aud President Hayes will probably not
come to the relief Of the drunken repro
bate a second time.

Judge G. H. Stewart, the honOred
Speaker OF the House Of Representatives
Of the Washington Territory Legisla-
ture, and one Of the trainers Of the new
Constitution, says, in letter to the edi-
tor Of this journal: "Am afraid Wash
ington Territory will again lose the
golden opportunity Of placing herself in
advance on the question Of equsl rights
to all her citizens. May God in His
infinite wisdom soon open the eyes OF
men and educate their understanding
on this great question, so that they may
look upon and treat their wives as
equals to the fullest extent. So far as
her personal rights are concerned, wom-
an is now considered as a mere machine
by men generally"

WOMAN'S CHAMPIONS.

The women Of Washington Territory
have had several able champions OF
their cause in the present session Of the
Legislature, among whom we notice
Hon. Geo. II. Stewart Of Vancouver,
and Hon. Mr. Ward Of King county.
When the local option bill was pending
before the House last week Gt had
passed the Council by a large vote), the
first-named gentleman said;
All power is inherent in the people. Under
the present law, the most worthless scamps
engage in this traffic. Al the present time
there i class who are Interested In the liquor
traffic, and who are compelled 10 be silent.
They are American citizens Is DO not right
that they should be protected They are our
peers-defeat this and you tell them that they
have no right in this matter worth cousid-
ering
Mr. Ward, pursuing he subject, said /:
This body. like all other legislative bodies,
should be the champion OF the oppressed
the champion OF doSn-irodden women. The
people Of this Territory will hold us 10 a strict
Accountability.
The bill provided that the signatures
Of women as we'll as men should be
requisite before a license 10 sell liquor
could be obtained, and was lost in the
House by a vote Of Il to l3.

Clearing House reports from the
principal cities Of the United States
show that An immense amount Of bus
iness was done throughout the country
last week. In view Of the encouraging
outlook, it would meet the approval Of
the people if Wrlght's Labor Com mmittee
were suppressed. Boston, where his
committee were last at work to find the
cause Of business depression, shows an
increase Of 46 per cent in exchanges
during the week. However, Wright
may do some good by being kept
out Of mischief.

The plan for the instruction Of women
at Cambridge by professors Of Harvard
College is now fairly started. Four
ladies have entered for the four years
course, after passing an examination as
nearly as could be a counterpart Of that
to which the candidates for the Fresh
man class in the college were submitted,
and eighteen others passed examina-
tions for special courses. The classes
now organized are taught by seven
professors, seven assistant professors
and eight tutors, twenty-five in all.
Five ladies take courses in Greek, six
in Latin, one in Sanscrit, five in Eug
lish, six in German, six in French,
three in philosophy, five in political
economy, two in history, two in music,
five in mathematics, two in physics,

Among the Methodist general mis-
sionary appropriations OF $3.50, 900, made
last week, are $4,000 for Mexico
for California Germans, 5000 Califor-
mia Indians, $500; California Chinese,
SlO,s96, and s. 900 for Oregon Chinese ;
for Chinese missions at Five Points,
New York, $500. The Methodists
have contributed the money, aud there
fore have a right to control its disposal,
yet We would advise them that in Port
land there are some suffering white
people, and that little bread aud pota-
toes distributed among then will arouse
more Christianity in their hearts than
all the money the ComstOek Lode has
ever produced, put into Bibles and
prayerbOoks, can stir up in the breasts
Of the Mongols.

several Chinamen, who could be well
employed, without interfering in the

Miss Robbins, formerly Of The Dalles,
is teaching in the district school, the
nominal "principap and chief pay
getter being a member Of the aris-
tocraey Of sex, who couldn't learn as
much in a month as she intuitively
knows in a minute. Il is not wonderful
that such men are opposed to woman's
equality with them before the law,
since she is superior to them Ia every
thing else.

no religious service of any kind except

Horrible Atrocities i'm n Prison,

MILWAUKEE, October 22 The Sentinel
tomorrow will contain an account of horrible
atrocities in the Milwaukee House of Cor
rection. This institution is used at the dis
erection of the courts as the State Prison.
An intelligent convict just released, whose
character for voracity is vouched for by
prominent person who knows him intimate
ly, states he has been an inmate two years,
and during all that time he was not allowed
to write to friends or counsel, and his family
supposed him dead. He says the bread fur
nished convicts, for which the county pays
six dollars barrel, is damaged lis COW feed
and cannot be baked). The meat is putrd.
During his confinement embryo calves and
dogs and glandered horses were furnished as
meats, and he brings bones which are in
possession of the editor. Details of the feed
are horrible beyond expression. Of the bru-
tally of the keepers, he says the convicts
were beaten and put in black hole which
is filthy dog kennel, five feet four inches
by five A man cannot live at length in it.
There is no ventlation). The floor is COW
cred with filth. Men were placed there for
twenty days and two died there. There is
chair factory connected with the institution,
and it is charged that the police are in collu-
sion with the Superintendent to kidnap men
to work at chairs. The whole story is the
most startling and revolving ever published
in this country. 1t is claimed that the charges
can all be verified.

Muller was killed outright. His wife receiv-
ed three wounds in the back and head, and
three in the breast and in the hip. The son
was shot in the left breast and received

appears that Muller heard noise in the
night, and rose up in bed and was immedi-
ately shot dead, his body being riddlcd with
bullets. Mrs. Muller was the next victim.
The son was sleeping in the rear OF the room
occupied by his parents. The murderer. who
is an elder son of Nullers, was captured in
Cleveland, to-day, and confessed the crime,
but says it was not pre-meditated He says
he went home Unexpectedly and climbed
through the window. His father after asking
who it was, ordered him frcm the premises,
and the young man responded by shooting
him. His story is not credited. There had
been trouble between him and his father for
several years. 1t is thought that Muller will
die. ldotic Sam may recover.
