DYING HARn.

The fallacy Of one-sexed suffrage is
dying hard. Selfshness is an attribute
Of a goOdly portion Of humanity, and it
is as natural that incompetent aud ig-
norant men desire to retain absolute
political power as that capable and in
telligent gentlemen are willing to accord
to their mothers, wives and sisters all
the privileges and opportunities in life
which they themselves enjoy. Occa-
sionally the former break out in spas
modic opposition to the movement de-
signed to place them on an equality
with their other selves, aud their writh-
ings bear witness to the fact that the
movement is affecting them seriously,
and that surrender stares them in the
face. After each outburst a cslmness
settles down, which marks the fact that
the advocates Of woman's equality have
achieved another victory in the change
that is to surely make them respected
and honored citizens. Each outcry Of
vituperation, abuse or calumny proves
that the movement, designed to de-
grade woman from her God-appointed
sphere" is worthy Of consideration
and the fact that its claims are de-
nounced, instead Of calmly, rea-
sonably and argumentatively discussed
and disproved, is the best evidence
Of the right and truth there is in it.
The opposition the movement has
brought to the surface in Southern Ore
gon will be soon overcome, for the dis
cussion Of Woman Suffrage monopolizes
public attention largely in that locality,
and thorough ventilation Of the subject
will convince the opponents Of the JUS
tice Of the desired measure. However
the shOrter-lived the opposition, the
fercer will be the struggle bef5re the
light Of reason sheds its rays on the
minds Of its perturbed opponents, and
kills the wrong ideas of political posi-
ton held by q portion OF the inhabit.
