| The State of California having through
its new Constitution decreed that the earn
ings Of the railroads should be placed at
the mercy OF the Railroad Commission,
the position of the corporations became
extremely embarrassing. Here was one
authority undertaking to appropriate their
| earnings, and to compel them to pay over
fixed large amounts semi-anually, and here
was another authority undertaking to
REGULATE" these earnings down to the
vanishing point. The interest of the
nation clearly was that the railroads
should earn enough to pay their sinking
fund contributions. The interest of the
State appeared to be that the railroads
should earn as little as possible beyond
working expenses. Those who put the
Commission in the Constitution were ready
to hound it if it did not carry out the
scheme of con6scation it was designed to
effect. They cared nothing for the ma
tional interest. What they wanted was
that freights and passengers should be
carried for nothing, OF next to nothing.
There could not, however, be any serious
conflict of jurisdiction, for the proposition
that the Federal Government is paramount
may be regarded as settled by this time.
Until, however, the railroads themselves
bring the question to adjudication by the
courts, it must remain an open one, and
the present attitude of the railroads is
doubtless intended to compel settlement
of it. The Chronicle hopes that the gage
"of battle flung down by Stanford will be
picked up by the State, and that the opin-
ion not only of the Circuit Court, but of
the Supreme Court, will be had upon it,
We have no doubt that the desire of the
Chronicle will In due time be gratifed, but
we do not expect that the issue will be at
all satisfactory to that Journal or its back
ers. 1t is in fact perfectly clear that the
Supreme Court, having already declared
the Thurman bill constitutional, must pro.
coed to declare the State Railroad Commits
siOA SiuCC LbCLC SaA NC doc6siOh
that the latter is calculated to interfere
with the collection by the Federal Govern
mentof thesinking fund contributions. The
Federal Government and the Supreme Court
are committed to the proposition that the
railroads must be left free to earn enough
to pay their debts, and this freedom cannot
be guaranteed to them SO long as the Com
mission is empowered to cut down their
rates as often and as much as it pleases.
To charge this situation upon the railroads
is. however, outrageousiy unfair. They
did not pass the Thurman bill, but on the
contrary they opposed it to the last. The
truth is that in this case the railroads are
in the position of the traveller in the story
who found himself between tiger and
crocodile, and who was saved at the crisis
of his fate by the circumstance that the
tigers spring landed the beast in the jaws
of the saurian. The game of confiscation
has been played too recklessly at both ends
OF the Government, and the result promises
to be the failure OF the State scheme of
railroad robbery.

The Yuha Dam stands the Pressure.

MABYsvILLE, December 4th.-The water
in the Yuba river has raised over three feet,
and has given the dam the FIRST trial. From
the Superintendent, who came down from
there to-day, the following facts are learned !:
The water now stands ON the face of the dam
between three and four feet deep, and sets
back for over half mile. covering the whole
space from end to end for two miles and 200
feet. The water passes through the brush, as
intended, leaving the '.slickens settling
about it, and gradually filling up as was in
tended. About LOCO feet from the north
end settling of the bank and brush has oc-
CURED for about forty feet in length, but this
is caused only by the pressure of the water
on the top, and the packing together of the
brush where it was not put as close as in
other places. No washing under has occur
red, and it is thought to be in as good q con-
dition and working as well as was expected
by its projectors. A small force of men is
kept there by the Commissioners to watch it.

TO SUBSCRIBERS.


The time is very nesF at hand when
many hundred subscriptions to the
New NORTHWEST will expire. The
prompt renewal Of maturing dues, al
wave desirable, is rendered especially
necessary this year by the great expense
0f snlargiDg the paper and fitting up the
70 with new dress. To the many
patrons who for nine years have never
failed to renew with promptness, we re-
turn thanks, and look confidently for a
continuation Of past favors. To those
whose arrears for some considerable
time have been a source Of great incou-
venience, expense aud annoyance to the
publishers, we look anxiously for a re-
spOnse to this call. And, to the many
new friends, whose first year OF subscrip-
tion is about expiring, we turn with a
heartfelt assurance that, having learned
the worth Of this journal, you will put
shoulder to the wheel for another year,
and help Us to roll along the great bail
Of Human Rights. How many who
read this call will respond NOW? We
need the money.

"PETTIOOAT" RULE.

To TEE EDITOR oF THE NEW NORTHWEST:
A lady in San Francisco, upon read
iug a copy of the NEW NORTHWEST,
writes as follows:
I think the proper place for woman is at
home with her family. Let the men go out TO
struggle aud battle against this cold-hearted
world. do NOT want 20 be ruled by anything
that wears pcfucosts; 10 Is bad enough 10 be
ruled 5y man alone. one sex 40 time is sutfi-
Client
The above IS an erroneous but COM
mon idea among many people. want
10 know how woman can have her
"home and family" when she has
neither. II is only the homeless that
have to struggle with this "cold-hearted
world" The ballot will not compel any
woman to leave her home, while it will
open to those who have none many vo-
cations that are now denied them, which
could not be otherwise than beneficial to
the protected sex" Even the Presi
Dental chair should not be beyond the
aspirations Of women, although such
presumption would greatly astonish
some Of our fat Office holders. That
women will be ruled by "petticoatsu
when they get the ballot, is very true
but it will be an agreeable change from
the Jrecches rule that has so long kent
women in submission.
Again, this lady is mistaken when
she says Zone sex at a time is sufficient ~
The sexes must cooperate in order to
pull smoothly together. \ govern
ment Of the people by the people" must
not be government Of one sex by the
other. As husband aud wife must be in
sympathy with each other in order 10
live harmoni0usly, so must nations
government be composed equally OF
men and women. Then, and not before.
will justice he done.
II Is the duty Of every woman, how
ever wealthy or disinterested she may
be, TO advocate the enfranchisemen OF
her sex. She VIII thereby berziit her
less fortunate sisters, and IN nelpiug
others will help herself.
Yours for equality,

BAR-KBBPBRs VS.. BAR-MAIDs.

\ correspondent of the GreeaJGck-
Labor Chronicle, published at Auburn,
Maine, asserts that prohibition is a fail
ure in Portland, the home Of General
Neal Dow, the Prohibition candidate
for the Presidency. The correspondent
then proceeds to relate that drinks are
sold in certain places by both men and
women; that the upper classes get their
bottles filled at the liquor agency by
saying the magic words, Medical pur-
poses" and that the only persons ever
arrested for the Illegal traffic are "poor,
helpless women, who, with their other
work, are selling little to keep starva-
ton from the door" This is another
case which illustrates very plainly the
advantage the suffrage gives man over
woman. As the "poor women have
no votes, they cannot revenge them
selves on the officials on election day,
and must suffer, while their fellow Of
Tenders Of the masculine sex can help
retain in power the men vino will never
see a bar-keeper, but who are ever on
the alert for bar-maids. We pity women
who by inclination or Of necessity be-
come liquor-sellers, but it is matter Of
Justice that they be not prosecuted
while men escape.

signatures two petitions "to the Legis-
lature of the State Of Oregon" and Sc
cured some seventy-fve names among
the citizens OF this State. The first one
reads:
The undersigned, citizens ofOregon, do earn
estly petition your honorable body 20 enact a
law similar 10 the laws In force in several
states Of the Union, commonly designated

and the owner Of the premises on which the
liquor is sold may be held jointly responsible
for tine injury caused by the use OF intoxicat-
ing drinks.

New vacations are opened TO women
daily. The dentists profession is now
invaded. Woman seems particularly
adapted 70 fac. delicate work, such as is
required in dental operations. We can
call 60 mind but a few ladies who have
chosen dentistry as a profession-one in
Ohio and few in the far East-but
they are said to be very successful.
The profession is not over crowded like
medicine aud the law, aud women who
have the determination TO thoroughly
master it, various branches will 10 a
few years be renumerated for the time
spent in properly learning it. But the
profession is like the others in one re-
spect-it will not prove very profitable
unless the operator is expert. A poor
dentist is an abominatiou. Let those
vino have dentistry in view choose
Excelsior as their motto.

One week from next Monday. the
Legislature will convene in the State
House at Salem. II undoubtedly will
comprise as foe body Of men as has
ever assembled in Oregon's legislative
halls. A good percentage Of the mem
0ers OF both Houses are known to be
favorable to wOman's equality before
the law, while some have never ex-
pressed an opinion either for or against
the measure. 1t is important that the
non-committed members be interviewed
by the ice-Presideuts Of the Oregon
state Woman Suffrage Association for
the various counties, and, II found un-
decided as to the position they will
take, be informed OF the wishes Of the
unrepresented half OF the community.
II of sound and reasoning mind, they
cannot fail 10 see that the claims Of
women to political freedom are founded
in Justice. II they are opposed 10 our
cause, lay before them the arguments
with which our demands are backed,
aud trust in their sense Of right to COM
prehend the present condition of woman
and her needs for the future. II they
will not listen, or listen without hear
ing and understanding, nothing is lost.
Also, it is well to interview the foes OF
Woman Suffrage among the hold-over
Senators, for two years may have

the members OF both Houses are care
fully instructed as TO the wishes ol

LILLE DEvEREUX BLAKE.

a dispatch from Atlanta, Georgia,
brings the sad intelligence Of the suicide
of a young girl vino had some time
since welded a young man, only to
learn that the marriage was mock. The
knowledge that she had been ruined by
one whom she loved drove her to de-
spair and death. The telegraph, with
the characteristic meanness of men in
shielding one another in their greatest
crimes against women, did not furnish
the name of him who deceived the girl,
but unhesitatingly and uubIushingly
spread before the gaze Of the world her
name aud tribulations. The ruin of a
girl by a false marriage is a crime far
greater than seduction. The mockery
is evidence that the victim is naturally
chaste and honorable. She is deprived
OF the opportunity to Indignantly spurn
the advances Of a libertine.

The Legislature Of Oregon will not do
its duty to taxpayers unless it repeals
the laws allowing Sherifis and County
Clerks fees for their work. The great
incomes of these officers under the pres
ent system cause much corruption
among men seeking them. Women
taxpayers are interested in this matter
and they desire that the salaries shall
only be high enough to fairly remuuer-
ate the officers. They are taxed with
out representation, but they want the
extortion to be as small as possible.
