sere sated that she is opposed to Woman Suf-

SCHOOL SUFFRAGE IN NEW YORK.

The school election i'm New York on the 18th OF
October gave the women of the Empire State their
first opportunity to vote, and well did they I'M
prove it, We have not given attention to the
matter before because school suffrage for women
in Oregon is an assured thing and does not enlist
much discussion. But i'm New York the expert
ment was tried with misgivings, and all forebod-
ings vanished. We have at hand several eX-
changes, representing various shades of puDllc
opinion, and all unite in pronouncing the innova-
ton a success. The number Of ladies who voted
was quite large and their actions demonstrated
that they had become thoroughly cOnversant with
their new duties. The ladies voted in order
Their work had been thoroughly systemized \
Republican politician at Fayetteville remarked
that the ladies chad taught them something in
the way Of organizing; each woman had herpace
and kept it," In that one little village one hum
dred and two women voted. Many ladies used
their private carriages to bring women to the
polls. Numbers of the aged and infirm voted.
One lady, noted for her deeds of charity said after
depositing her ballot 81 feel as if was somebody
now"
The order at the polls was remarkably good in
comparison with previous elections, proving that
men in New York as in every part Of the coun-
try, will be gentlemen when i'm the presence of
ladies. In the New York SIM Of the 23d ultimo
we find these words: Reports from many coun-
ties Of the State concur that the ladies' presence
has brought unwonted order 10 the polls" The
only disgraceful scenes reported were fight at
New Lots, noted for disturbances, and the occa-
sional curt and cranky actions Of inspectors, who
soon got used to the novelty and conducted them
selves properly.
The National Ci'i-eu says that the election
proved that women, even those who say they do
not want TO vote, will vote a. soon as they have
opportunity, for not only ladies voted who before
had stood on the suffrage fence but those who ap-
parently were entirely upon the other side" il
proved "the fallacy of the talk that men ar. more
willing than women that women should vote, and
that whenever women demand the ballot they
will get it, for the only objections were raised by
men; il proved the falsity OF the assertion that
women Will vote Just their husbands do for
many instances To- the contrary are noted.
Now that the people Of New York have had
practical illustration Of the benefits OF school suf
frage for women, we have hopes for the speedy
adoption ~ laws for their fun cufmuchisemeut i'm
that -tata. The sayce-, of the innovation on the
18th ultimo gives the -ufIugi-t~ leverage with
which to work, and they viii utilize ii.

THE ELECTION.

We can give little additional news this week of
the Presidential contest, though everything that
is received confirms the statements i'm last is
All Northern States are for Garfield, and all
Southern ones for Hancock. The Democrats are
raising "fraud" cry against the Republicans in
New York, and at the same time Tlden and Kelly
are accusing each other Of causing the result
However this fuss will subside as time relieves
the sting of defeat. OF the Pacific Coast States,
Oregon is Republican, Nevada is Democratic and
California is divided, five electors being for Han
cock and one for Garfield. Had the Democrats i'm
the Golden State placed any other man than ID. :.
Terry, the slayer of Broderick upon their ticket
for the sixth elector, they would have the State
solidly; but he is beaten badly, showing that the
voters remember him and his crime, and are not
yet ready to grant him even the passing honor Of
an elector. Summing up the results, we find that
Garfield and Arthur will have from % to 81 eleeto-
raj votes more than are necessary to a choice.

Like all papers that attempt to oppose Woman

asked 20 give "a single logical reason for DENYING

discuss the question at greater length, and then
gives a column clipping from AN exchange 10

Presidential contest. Any one who would take
the time To read il would not wonder that the
East OregoHi0D is opposed TO Woman Suffrage, if
the editors feminine relatives, friends and ac-
quaintanccs are so ignorant or wcak-minded a to
inspire him with the contempt for their ntelli-
gence that the clipping displays. \ mans ideas
OF women are formed from observation of those
with whom ne assocates.-If the editor has not
time to discuss the woman question. and 80 very
great time is needed To discover one reason
against the rights of women, ne should not have

Edison claims a prior discovery o.
certain parts Of the transmitter In
vented by Short, and wants to break
down Shorts patent, so that he can
get the benefit of a large sale of his
own. The Short transmitter and the
Edison transmitter have been tested
side shy side, and while Edison's
works .tolerably; well on short cir
cults, Shorts works far better on cir
cults of 800 and 400 miles. The at
torney for Edison spent tue greater
part Of last week examining Short
and his witnesses, and left, doubtless
convinced that another Ohio boy be-
sides Ellison had made an important
and valuable invention. Short has
sold his right of the United States
to the Gold & Stock Exchange of
New York for handsome sum, and
lis this week in Montreal, Cana-
'da, where he is about to consummate
the sale OF his patent in the Domin-
ion of Canada.
The bottom has fallen ont of the
injunction suit concerning the redis-
tricting of the city from IL into IA
wards, and the Republicans seem to
entertain the idea that a majority
of the Councilmen alter this election
will be on the side Of the Lord-that

He was pure Newfoundland, with
q nice, broad head and beautiful
light brown eyes, and such sweet ex-
preston at the corners of his mouth
you would be sure to think he was
smiling. A more affectionate heart
never beat than beneath the shaggy
breast of our dog Custer. We
trained him to hold the halter in his
mouth and lead the horses away,
and he was very proud to be allowed
this honor, and would wag his big,
bnshy tail in satisfied way, and
hold his head high in order to look
as dignified as possible, l suppose.
His tricks aud accom- plishment,
were many. He could carry two
eggs in his huge mouth and never
break one. He could turn q knob
as well as any one, and on entering
a room would always turn around
aud put his paw on the door to close
it. If this failed he would jump
upon the door, taking care not to
scratch with his nails. He was
more Intelligent than many men /
have seen, and if any one sat down
in the house without dofflng his hat
Custer would steal stealthily up be.
hind him and pull it off, then drop.
ping it on the floor at the side Of
his chair would walk quietly away
and lie down, as one who had per-
formed duty. 4s
We would wrap a few pennies in a
paper and send him with it in his
mouth to store for candy, of which
he was very fond. He would never
give it to any one but one clerk, with
whom he was acquainted, and would
bring the candy home untouched,
but after delivering it to US would
stand expectantly by, wagging his
tail and waiting for the sweet morsel
he knew he was sure to get. He
was found of milk, too, but would
carry it faithfully to our pet lamb;
and though he would glance lovingly
into the pail occasionally, he was
never known to betray our trust or
steal one sip of the coveted bever-
age. f "fo
We could send him to remote
part of the house for any article,
and he would be sure to understand
and bring it to US if he could find it,
and he generally found whatever he
searched for. / would say: "Custer,
bring my overshoes from the hall"
He would get up and yawn, perhaps,
and look up in my face with dog
smile, as though he said. "You lazy
girl, why did you distarb my pleas
ant dream?' then turn the knob Of
the hall door and in . moment
return to me with both rubbers in
the caveruous depths of his great
red mouth. asgkes
/ wonld say: "Bring me my thin
BILE. 1t is upstairs on the window"
He would turn his grand, glossy
head first ON one side, then on the
other, and look at me in a puzzling
way, as though trying to fx it upon
his memory, then turn slowly away
to do his errand. Sometimes on the
way he would seem to forget and
come back to me looking very much
ashamed, dropping his wide, curly
ears and peering at me from the top
of his eyes. Then 1 would repeat
my demand, and he would run
frisklly away again, and come back
with the thimble hidden in his
month. Often he would tantalize
me playfuily and refuse 70 give it to
me, shaking his head in a mischiev-
Gus way, and keeping just ont of
my reach as / ran toward him.
