S. Brown Allen then addressed the crowd
in speech of clearness and force, in which
he gave the history of reimbursement and
claimed that the NOV ement had its ORR

the following resolutions which were unan-
imously adopted:

ton, and its falsity had been proven, and
be could not understand why it was still

ADVERTISING OFFERS.

Several liberal minded gentlemen
have forwarded propositions for adver-
tising in the New NORTHWEST, all hav-
ing in view the great benefit this jour
nal is to derive at the expense Of the
advertiser. One uuassuming and modest
individual wishes his book heralded
as premium to subscribers, and blandly
writes 10 the editor: at certainly would
pay you to send out canvassers in your
county, besides advertising the book in
your columns" To prove that he is
sincere in his desire TO increase the cir
culation OF this paper, he announces
that his "highly recommended" book
will be forwarded at twenty-five cents
less than its price, postage TO accompany
orders, leaving a margin Of perhaps ten
or fifteen cents. When canyassers are
paid, it may readily be seen that enor-
nous profits will accrue to the proprie-
tors Of the NEW NORTHWEST, who will
Immediately become rich through the
advice, philanthropy and generosity OF
the advertiser.
Another man wishes an advertisement
published for several months, payments
for the SAME to be made in writing
fluid. The NEW NORTHWEST would
then be able to supply the public
schools, and have gallon upon gallon Of
ink left. Or such persons as are ad-
dioted to using fire-water could be sup
piled with scarlet fluid, which would
soon put a stop to their drinking, and
eating, too, for that matter.
This journal is favored with an ex-
large number Of such PROPOSE
tions as the two cited. Il pays cash for
paper, composition, presswork, etc, and
accepts cash for its advertising space.

A PASSIONATE OUTBURsT.

The Walla Walla Wdtchman, in no.
ticlng the fact that a Chinaman and a
white wife reside on Alder street in this
city, and are blessed with two children,
says:
She ought 10 be killed. Such a mixture OF
blood is an insult 20 the white race and % the
very Creator. Had He approved OF such a
mixture, lie would have created 60 without
human aid.
Why does the VatcEman single out
the wife instead Of the husband on
whom to vent its wrath? Why is the
woman more guilty than the man? aud
what crime has either committed? II a
Frenchwoman marries an Englishman,
or an Irish woman a German, would the
Wiatchman advise the death Of any or all
Of them? Or, If an American should
wed an aboriginal woman, would it
urge her murder? If the Creator de-
sired half-breed children Of any descrip-
tion, would He not have created them ?
The trouble with the Watchnlan is, it
has made q statement in its Indignation
which its cooler judgment cannot up
hold. Il may, like the New NORTH
WEST, regard a mixture Of the Cauca-
sian with the Mongolian race as unwise,
but it certainly can find nothing crimi-
nal in IT,

THE DUBLLO.

The criminality Of duelIing and the
Stiffness Of the "code" were never bet
ter shown than in South Carolina Oh
last Monday, when Col. Z. c. B. Cash
shot Col. Wm. VI. Shannon dead. Cash
aud some friends had q controversy with
Shannon, who was a highly respected
lawyer, and accused him OF rejecting
on Mrs. Cash in legal proceedings.
shannon Indignantly denied the charge,
but nevertheless received a challenge
for a duel with one Of Cash's friends.
He declined to accept, when Cash pub
lished him as a coward, and then the IA
tai meeting occurred. Here is where
the foolisbness OF the ''code" is so notice
able. In the community in which these
men resided, not 10 resent an insinua-
tion Of cowardice is to forfeit the respect
Of the "chivalrous" people and be a
thing OF contempt Thus, by the force
Of a vitiated public sentiment, a duel
was precipiiated, and one prominent
man was forced to lay down his life 10
appease "honOri which be claimed he
had not offended, and another was ren-
dered a murderer. The saddest part Of
the affair is that Shannon left a large
and dependent family, who, innocent OF
any suspicion Of evil, are the greatest
sufferers.

The best account which we have seen
Of the late attempt to endow women
with school suffrage in California ap-
pears in the last issue OF the Woman's
Exponent Of Salt Lake, and was written
by lady resident OF Santa Clara county.
The petition to the Legislature was
numerously signed The Senate re-
ceived with courtesy the ladies' who ap-
peared in behalf Of Tie measure, while
the Assembly gave them a cordial greet
ing. Although there was 80 consider
able portion Of the hoodum element
represented IN the lower house." yet the
ladies "found a great number Of friendly
sympathizsrs," and "it was curious to
note the evident superiority Of the
friends" This superiority was so
marked that many opponents said to
the ladies, "Iou have some pretty fine
men to support you" The Assembly
Chamber was given the ladies one even
ing for a special discussion Of the ques-
tlon, when Mrs. Foltz, Mrs. Gordon, Miss
Kellogg aud the E.rpoRcHfS correspond
ent made addresses in favor OF the pro-
posed change. Miss Kellogg, a popular
Sacramento lady Of charming appear
ance and excellent taste 10 dress, deliv-
cred a pretty discourse. Mrs. Gordon
made the argument Of the evening, ami
was ably supported by Mrs. Foliz.
The bill granting the ballo, 10 women
on school matters finally came up for
its third reading. Crowds nocked TO
hear the debate. The arguments were
decidedly in favor Of its passage At
last, after waiting q week, the bill was
passed by five majority. Great was the
rejoicing Of the ladies; but, alas for the
instability of masculine nature, the next
morning some member moved a recon-
sideraiion Of the bill, which movement
was carried by a small majority. Then
some OF the members changed their
votes, aud the bill was indefinitely post
Poned by a msjority OF two.
The correspondent says the general
feeling is that the action Of the Assem-
bly, was "cowardly and disgraceful." +"
Many of the ladies believe that this
meanness will do more good in the end
than a victory would have done, as it
will agitate the matter and set people TO
thinking.

THE PRESIDENTIAL SITUATION.

II. d. NJ, q Harrisburg correspond
ent, furnishes another thoughtful and
Cispassionate letter on the Presidential
situation. In this communication, it is
asserted that the election Of either Gar
field or Hancock would be ga deathly
blow to Woman Suffragisis." As one or
the other Of the two men named will GER
tainly be chosen, the woman movement
will surely die on the 1st Of next No
eember, il "H. II. NJ" is a prophet.
However, the truths and principles Of
liberty and equality are eternal, aud
will exist If either is elected,
and will receive an onward impetus IL
the former is successful. The only sal
walton Of women is not General Weaver's
election. Neither Of the great parties
has denounced the woman movement,
but each has adopted silence as its
policy. As they have not announced
their opposition, their candidates are at
liberty to exercise their individual
views. Garfield being a Woman Suf-
fragist, it is Of paramount Importance
that be defeat Hancock.
Our correspondent is probably aware
that the great strides the woman move
ment is making are not in the direction
Of the uneducated classes but toward
the intelligence OF the country. The
hopes OF the women for equality are not
founded on the fact that the mass OF
voters will favor universal liberty, but
that the enlightened men OF the age will
grant it. The right to exercise the right
Of suffrage throughout the Union can
only be obtained through Congress
and, as the Senate and the House are
composed Of representative men Of the
country, it is plain that women should
work to place in the Presidential chair q
man who will sanction an amendment
to the Constitution granting political
equality to all, should Congress pass
such an amendment. The members OF
the National legislature being Of more
than average intelligence, it will be
easier 10 secure their favor than the as
sistance OF the lower classes, composed
so largely Of the exported Ignorance OF
Europe. The issue before the women is
whether they desire an avowed friend or
a known enemy at the head of the gov
ernment. The continued agitation OF
the question cannot fail in a few years
to receive the favorable attention OF
Congress. When this sanction is ac-
corded, It must not be defeated by the
veto Of an enemy. It is proper for
women to strive to keep in the Presl-
Dental chair a man who will do right
when the opportunity is given him to
elevate womanhood.

From the tone Of some Eastern jour
mails, it is evident that two-thlrds Of
women who comprise the Methodist
organization will not long suffer the
one-thiEd Of men 10 leave them without
official recognition in the General Con-
ference. Women have been unwise to
keep silence so long IN the churches
that they maintain, aud it is pleasant
to note that they no longer intend to be
held in obeyanee to the idiosynerasies
Of such selfish ministers as J. VI. Buck

The San Francisco CAL can no longer
be accused Of fear in expressing opin-
ions. Il recently said: "The Demo-
crsts should understand from Garfield's
nomination that they have to beat the
Republican party, or be beaten by it,"
This startling announcement was fol-
lowed, two weeks later, by the bold
declaration that "the country will be
safe under Hancock or Garfield" The
great Pickeringian sheet then reviewed
the history and discussed the principles
Of the Republican and the Democratic
parties in the following terss and logl-
cal style: "The policy Of one party
may be wiser than that Of the other,
but neither can be justly suspected OF
any design against the permaneucy OF
our Republican institutions"

ce'lent morning address by Rev. Mr..

sunday was a quiet day for q fair, but
1t proved an enjoyable one Throughout.
The day was fine, and the reunion Of

except at Restaurants, soda fountains
and cigar stands.
Monday was the great gala day Of the
season. Early in the morning. the
crowds began TO ssrive in wagons. car
riages, aod on foot aud horseback. LATER
the trains from up and down the valley
brought their leads Of human freight.
and at II A u. the assembled throng Al
the grand stand listened with bated
breath while f. NJ. Bswley, Esq, read
the Declaration Of Independence. Fol-
lowing this mastery effort came the
unrivaled Grafton OF Hon. J. +. Caples,
after which cheer upon cheer from ten
thousand throa's made the vaulted
heavens ring.
Next in order was dinneT-WheTever
one could get il. The Aurora Restau-
rant fed thousands Of customers and
turned hundreds away unaccommodat-
ed. Such a rush for food as We have
seldom seen continued for over an hour.
Then came the races, and after them
the address Of the undersigned, our sub
ject being The "Womeu's Declaration OF
Independence" Never have we been
honored by a better or more attentive
hearing. Before rs was a perfect sea OF
kindly l-c,s. and CT the platform a
large number Of prpmiuent sympathizers
with the great and growing cause Of
Human Rights. We could not but con-
trast this meeting With that Of one year
ago among the thugs Of Jacksonville,
whom the last election consigned TO
well meTited oblivion. But we could
not forget, either, that even in Jackson
county, new as the movement was, there
were hundreds Of excellent friends, who
will read and hear Of this days success
and rejoice in its popular triumph. Our
hands have been shaken over it til our
shoulders are lame, and still we are
happy.
OF the races &C cannot tell the reader
much, except that preachers, Sunday
school teachers, deacons, judges, horse
jockeys, women and children comprised
the spectators, and all seemed equally
interested over the winning horse.
In the evening there was a grand dis
play Of fireworksSwitnessed by at least
ten thousand persons. The weather
continued fine, and the great lawn in
side the race-traek was in nice condition
for stroliing, lounginc, chatting and
| fun.
But We are suddenly admonished by
the length Of this letter that it is clos
ing time. When this gree,s the eyes OF
many Of our readers, the State Fair oi

another year we will go on wondering
why the people will attend it, and in
another year We will be here again to

Rev. G.. w. Izer, who, while pastor Of
the Taylor-street church in this city,
showed such unreasonable opposition to
the rights Of women, has taken to the
practice Of law in some Eastern town.
He will probably now oppose the right
of woman to speak at the bar, as he
once did her right to break silence in
the church, for she is apt to come in
competltion with him.
