ADAMS TASK.
These events comprise tho history of the Ute out
break mp to this time. Upon the result Of General
Adams further negotiations with the Utes for the
surrender of their principal criminals will depend
the next military movement. The extent Of the
governments demand in this connection is
not yet known. Will Commissioner Adams
insist on surrender merely Of the chiefs who led
the assault on Thornburgh and Of the Indians who
murdered Meeker and his men? II so, how are the
latter to be identified? Will he go further and de-
mand that the whole band of savage assassins who
attacked Thornburgh and besieged Payne be given
up? The absurdity of such demand is clear. since
1t is believed that nearly all the White River war
riors numbering from two hundred and fifty to two
hundred and seventy -hve united in tho attack
and siege.
MILITARY GnUMBLING.
The idea that General Adams will induce the Utes
to give themselves up that Ouray will be able to
cause any of his subchiefs followers to submit
to trial and the gallows without military aid is
secuted by Western citizens and officers in the same
way it by General Sheridan. Jealousies
among the chiefs may possibly bring about COM
promise and the delivery of few Indians prison.

In this country, to be citizen is to be
a sovereign, If a man. a subject, if wO-
man. Every man is the sovereign of
himself and his mother. OF himself be
is sovereign because he has never sur

TO THE POINT.

The following statement we reproduce
from an eastern journal, being extremely
appropriate for consideration at the pres
ent time here: "Not many centuries ago,
almost all the crimes now punishable by
imprisonment, were punished by death.
One by one these crimes have been res
cued from the law Of extreme revenge,
and assigned to that Of a medium char
acter. IL is not even pretended that
such crimes have increased by the
change thus made. Nor is it true that
in States and countries where the death
penalty has been abolished long enough
to test it as an experiment, that mur-
ders have increased. Indeed, Rhode Is
land aud Michigan, where the death
penalty has not been enforced for years,
are not afflicted by more murders than
are other States in which il is still en-
forced. II is as we'll established as any
thing can be, that hanging does not
lessen the number OF murders. Just a:
many murders occur a. there would ii
the death penalty were abandoned and
a IN 1re humane sGstem-one more ia
accord with an enlightened, Christian
age-adopted. Besides, we have nc
right to take what we cannot give. Goo
giveth life Let the natural action o
is laws alone take it. But to con
slider hanging or other methods
Of taking life, judicially, from thii
standpoint only, is to take a very mar
row view of the whole subject. Tn,
present aud immediate effects form {
small and very unimportant part Of th'
real evils of the practice. II has beer
frequently observed-it almost always
I happens-that following a hanging, In,
children play to hang. Can such a thing
exert other than the most baneful efiect
upon the plastic minds and susceptibili
ties of the young? II must necessarily
cause them to have less sacred regarC
/ for life. There can be no doubt that To,
I lessening of this regard has in some, j
not in many instances, been the direc
cause Of murder, by those who hav,
| been thus made familiar with the tax
ing OF life and led to feel a less regaIC
for life itself, by the familiarity. Moth
ing could tend more certainly to prepare
the way for murder by those in whom th'
capacity, under any circumstances o
passion or revenge, to murder exists
than to familiarize them with the idea
that it is ever justifiable to take life Al
all. II the State eau punish or avenge
itself by murder rightfully, then it is tC
be expected that the individual will ar
que that he may do the same under the
necessary provocation."

WOMEN LAWYERS IN SAN FRAN
CISCO.

Clara VI. Foltz and Laura DeForce
Gordon had a hearing before Judge
Morrison, San Francisco, on the oath
ult., in which the former asked for a
writ Of mandamus to re-instate her in
the Hastings Law School, from which
she had been excluded on account OF
sex. Her prayer was simple and
straightforward, setting forth succinctly
the facts that she, being Of good moral
character, p years of age, we'll quail
fed in all respects and rightfully being
entitled to the privileges Of the insti-
tuition, branch Of the University OF
California had been excluded from the
Hastings college Of law. Her argu-
ment, 10 which she was supported by
Mrs. Gordon, was able and exhaustive.
That Of the attorneys opposed to her
recounted the old objections to the ad-
mission Of women to the practice OF
law, the principal for the respondents
closing his argument by reading the
decision Of Judge Ryan, OF Wisconsin,
when Mrs. Myra Bradford applied for
admission to the bar Of that State.
This document, it will be remembered,
declared most emphatically the impos-
sibility Of women doing just what Mrs.
Bradford aud others are now doing, and
so is no doubt considered conclusive.
The Judge took the matter under ad-
visement, aud we shall soon look foI
another "opinion" from a legal source
defining woman's sphere.

THE MoGIBENY's IN MICHIGAN.

From the Citizen, a journal published
in Jackson, Michigan. we learn that the
McGibeny family were there rendering
their popular 'song service" on the Sth
alt, carrying all hearts by storm. The
Kalamazoo Telegraph says Of their re-
cent sacred concert in that city: "Over
twelve hundred people were in Union
Hall last evening to hear the song ser
vice Of the McGibeny family. Every
thing passed OFF in the most satisfactory
manner; the selections, both vocal and
instrumental, were in good taste and
appropriate. The sweet songs OF the
little ones, and the beautiful harmony
of their singing and playing, delighted
every one. II was the most refined and
delightful sacred service ever listened to
by many present last evening, and
it adds not a little to the interest that
all feel after having once heard them, to
know that they are refined and Chris
tian family, and worthy Of the respect
and esteem Of ALL"

The celebrated physician, DIR. Paul Memeyer
gives the following valuable suggestions TO
persons suffering from lung affections: "The
patient must with scrupulous conscientious
ness insist upon breathing fresh, pure air. and
must remember that the air Of closed rooms is
always more or less bad. No man
however uucleanly, would driuz muddy. dirty
water A party which occupies "a room for
hours. breathing the same air. might be COM
pared 10 party OF bathers drinking the water
in which they bathe. The patient must keep
the window OF mis- bedroom open. Night air
is fresh air without daylight. In close. crowded
rooms, he patient suffering from lung COM
plants breathes eonsumptively." By taking
these precautions and using Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery and Pleasant Purga-
tive Pellets, fully one half of the cases Of lung
complaints would be cured in six months For
cough and irritation OF the lungs do not always
indicate the presence of consumption. all
though il may result i'm that disease. and if
consumption has already become deeply
seated In the system, this is the most efficient
course OF treatment that can be pursued outside
OF any Institution that provides special faciI-
titles for the treatment OF this disease. DR..

LETTER FROM SAN JOSE.

MANY times for the admiration Of the
readers Of the NEW NORTHWEST, for II
ever there was love felt for their little
city by those most interested, that feel

A pleasant feature of its social and in
telleetual life is lis many literary socie-
ties, and prominent among these Is the

the strong chords of love and goodwill
which bind its members. Its founder,
without whose genial presence the meet

complete during the whole four years OF
its existence, has just left for your city
She ever reminded us Of the lesson so
hard to learn, that chronic good nature
is mighty weapon in our hum-drum
lives. That this society has not shared
the ephemeraI fate of most societies
formed for that purpose is perhaps due
to the entire absence Of all laws restrict

we are told what the elegant Miss s.
wore and how Miss B. was dressed, and
but for the want of space you should
hear Of mental elegancies noticeable
here; suffice il that one finds here the
embodiment of high culture, ready wit,
| true refinement, forbearance and kind
ness. Most Of the members see clearly

long led, but few yet grope in dark
ness. Your occasional quotations show
that you share the feelings Of most OF
the papers Of the Pacific coast in full
appreciation Of the Mercury. The ladies
of the Reading Circle, with some others
remembering their Indebtedness to 1T;
editor, upon the occasion Of its removal
