anxious hearts, await the solution Of
the problem.
A most ingenious robbery was per-
Petrated here on Monday last, prom.
inent politician being the victim. In
company with 1 well-known physi-
clan, he had been to dine will, some
friends, and the after dinner liquids
being stronger than cold water, the
legs of the politician were unequal to
the task Of carrying their master
home. The doctor had all the load
he could conveniently carry, aud when
his friend tninbled down all in q heap,
he succeeded 10 finding friendly
Negro, who, for consideration, con-
sented to accompany him home. They
had not proceeded very far when
sambo aud his charge went down in
the gutter together. At last they ar
rived ct home. It was then discovered
that the drunken politician had been
robbed Of diamond pin and dia-
mond ring, valued at about $500.
Next day our colored brother was ar.
rested, and in his possession were
found the pawn tickets for both arti-
cles. So up goes Sam to Sing Sing.
The weather has been remarkably
cool for August, the /" oldest inhab-
itant" not remembering the like.
We need look for little peace for
the next two months, for the political
gong has again eOmmenced to beat,
and Garfield aud Hancock rule the
hour.

Telling her bees some news, as they lit down

And presently u bee, a great big golden
bee,
That appeared to the watchdog of the treas.

Shot like ball from out the waxen town.
And on the nose Of cottager serenely sat
him down.
Saying: Excuse this liberty, 0 pretty
maid divine,
But have news to tell thee, in return for
news Of thine"
The maiden didn't linger long a-whispering
to the bees;
But struck q frightful galopade, her hair
upon the breeze,
And the howls that she emitted, as she
danced and prancel and ran,
Were heard, the neighbors tell me, clear
from Beerslebn to Dan.

see amid the fields of Ayr
"A plOwnl;ln, who, in foul or fair,
Sings at his task,
So clear we know not if it is
The laverock's song We hear or his,
Nor care to ask.
For him the plowing of those fields
A mole ethereal harvest yields
Than slleavcs of grain;
Songs flush with purple bloom the rye;
The plover's call, the curlew's cry,
Sing in his brain.
Touched by his hand, the wayside weed
Becomes II flower; the lowliest reed
Beside the stream
Is clothed with beauty gorse and grass
And heather. where his footsteps pass,
The brighter seem.
He sings of love. whose flame illumes
The darkness of lone cottage rooms;
He feels the force,
The treacherOus unller-tOw and stress,
OF hayward passions, and no less
The keen remOrse.
At moments, wrestling with his fate,
His voice is harsh, but not with hate;
The brnsh-wOo hung
Above the tavern door let's fall,
Its bitter leaf, its drop Of gall,
Upon his tongue.
But still the burden of his song
Is love Of right. disdain Of wrong;
Its master-chOrtls
Arc Manhood, Freedom, Brotherhood;
Its discOrtls but an intel1ude
Between the words.
And then to die so young, and leave
Unfinished what he might achieve!
Yet better sure
Is this than wandering up and down,
An old man, in o country town,
Infrm and poor.
For now he baunts his native land .::.
As an immortal youth his hand
Guides every plow;
lie sits beside each ingle-nook;
His voice is in each rushing brook,
Each rustling bough.
His presence haunts this room tonight,
A form Of mingled mist and light,
From that far coast,
Welcome beneath this roof of mine!
Welcome this vacant chair is thine,
Dear guest and ghost!

In the infinite depths Of the mothers heart,
There exists holy shrine,
And that which enters, how frail 90 e'er,
Becomes nc once divine.
For mothers love is the holiest thing
To be found this side of Heaven,
And those who purely present its prayer
Will find their sins forgiven.
The loss which grieves us will prove gain

And we know that the children that left us

Are angels in the skies.
The dear ones that pass through the golden

Plead ever before tile Throne,
And the parent-heart is rich indeed
That doth sncl, jewels own.

RESOLUTIONS.

To THE EDITOR OF THE NEW NosrHwEsr:
Please publish the following resolu-
tious, and oblige the Spiriiualists Of
Oregon:
Res0IUed, That the spirilusl pbenOm-
eua are scientific facts, uitest,.i ty many
of the most eminent scientists of Europe
aud America, aud as they demonstrate
human Immortality aud reveal our fu-
ture destiny, they are worthy Of the iu-
vesligation Of all rational minds, aud
neither pulpit nor press can afford either
TO ignore them or longer to depreeiate
their value aud importance, as they are
the cherished symbols Of the great re-
iigiou Of the future already embraced by
millions Of intelligent aud cultivated
people whose opiuIons and beliefs de
serve the respect VI the would be- leaders
Of public sentiment.
RcsOiUed, That the spiritual gifts Of
modern mediums are identical In source
aud kindred iu nature with those upon
which Christianity aud other religions
Of the past were founded, and that all
the clergy who now oppose them are
"biind leaders OF the blind" leading
their followers into "the last ditch" OF
infidelity and materialism, aud We ear
nestly entTeat them TO ''cOusider their
ways aud be wise" lest they he found
fighting against God. d" whose "minis-
tering spirits" are working through
"mighty signs aud wonders" that HIS
will may be d0ue on earth as IL is done
in heaven.
RcsOlUed, That Spiritua!ism as a phi
lOsopny aud religion is no more respou
sible for the crudities aud inmoraiities
of any of its votaTies than j. Christian
ity for the vagaries and moral ispses OF
thousands Of It's adIereuiS and hundreds
Of its clergy vino have Ueen judiciaily y
convicted of crimes, which are justly at
tributahle in both cases To the weak
nesses and imperfectiuns Of human ma
ture, aud we commend 20 our accusefs
the admOuitive Injunction, Let him
that is without sin cast the first stone"
RcsOiUed, That the Secretary be in
structed % request the press Of Oregon
10 publish these resolutions a. the seuti-
ments Of the Spiritualists of Oregon in
convention assembled.
The foregoing were presented at the
recent Spiritual camp meeting al New
Era by DR.. Dean Clarke, Chairman Of
the Committee on Resolutions, aud
we're unanimously adopted by large
audience. THOs BUCKMAN, See'y.

THAT EXPLANATION.

To make Dr. Dean Clarke edo his
level best" just stir him up as-Deau
Clarke. II is very convenient for the
mortal, this claiming that an "irresisli-
BILE power" forces man to turn to a
speaker whose argument he has not
heard and proceed to give such inappro-
pirate "advics" as to make even the
most devout believer ready 20 laugh at
bis blunder; but it is, to say the least,
uncomplimeutary to the "spirit," who
is accredited with the blame, aud has no
independent opportunity to speak for
himself. Mrs. Duuiway declares that
II it was a CONTROL outside Of himself
that made her friend Dean Clarke ac-
cuse her Of deny ing the fact Of her own
inspiration-not "control"-by which
she is humbly thankful to believe that
her footsteps and speech are oftentimes
guided, that spirit" ought to 90 back
for season to the laud Of shades TO
learn the truth at the feet Of some wiser
Gansliel, before he again makes NOR
ta,s cTeduious by his mistakes. The
Doc;or's last effort only makes Mrs. d.
the more earnestly reiterate the little
parsgraph that called forth his spirited
rei1i der. As Dean Clarke, he is a de-
cided success; as a spirit-judging him
by the mistake he msde on the New
Era plalform-he is almost failure.

the fact that thousands of women Ia
bored earnestly aud faithfully to secure

who came North by Underground rail-
way" received his principal assistance
from women. He desi-ed 10 prov.
that women should not vote, and was
Immediately carried of his position
when he wished 10 give a reason. With
the self-eonsciousDess that is born Of
egotism, he remarked, "T say woman
has 40 right to vote" Hs hesiisted
here, because he could comuaand no ar
gumeni a. support bis position. In ten
or fifteen seconds, he astri. Can any
one give reason Why she should vote?r
aud sat down. He had not before real
izei how hard il u 20 make logical az
gument against the measure, aud Of
course VAS compelled 10 subside. Ia
was hut the work Of a few minutes to
repeat some Of the common arguments
in favor Of Woman Slffrage-thAt
woman Is an individual, and one indi-
vidual is entitled TO the same rights
which all others enjoy; that woman is
taxed, aud should have a voice in dis
tributiug The revenue; that she Is
compelled 10 obey the laws, aud should
assist ia making them; that property
laws discriminate unjus,ly against her ;
that, II she wicljed the ballot, she would
send Representatives TO the legislative
halls 10 remedy the evils mentioned ;
etc, etc.
The next time the young man hears
the woman question bruached, he will
either speak 10 iis favor or he silent. II
not converted, he has learned TO abstain
from urging objections against the
movement. He has found it easier to
ask others to prove that women "should
vote" than to demonstrate that they
should not"

We wish to say "A word to subscribers

(perhaps intended to be sarcas.ic) to
be highly lsudatory aud then destroy
the full force Of the praire by ordering

kind word is always appreciated. even
when a subscriber desires, for financial
or other reasons, to Withdraw patron

you don't want 70 take the paper any
longer, say so; that is enough. II you
feel impelled to give reason, that we
may know you are not displea,cd with

In one Of his lectures, Colonel Robert
G.. Ingersoll said: "I tell you, women
are more prudent than men. tell you,
as rule, women are more faithful than
men-ten times as faithful as men. /
never saw a man pursue his wife into
the ditch and dust Of degradation and
take her in his arms; | never saw a
man stand at the shore where she had
been morally wrecked, waiting for the
waves to bring hack even her corpse 10
his arms; but have seen woman with
her white arms lift man from the mire
Of degradation and hold him to her
bosom as if he were an angel" Yet
Mr.. Iugersoll has seen fit to assert that
he does not want women, with their
prudence and purity, to euter politics
aud raise their brothers from the "miTe
Of degradation.

SHALL JUSTICE BE DONE 2u

No one who is cOgnizsut Of the out
Tageous decisions of the late Supreme
Court doubts that the present Court
should, ~ a matter Of justice and right
To drfranded citizens, reopen and re-
hear certain cases decided by the ap-
pointed tools. Those who assert that il
would establish a bad precedent for &
Court 10 review cases decided by
former judicial tribunal, should and DO
know that it is a worse precedent TO
uphold disbonorable judges in their
robbery Of citizens. Courts are insti-
tu;ed to ue,e cut jnslice, and it is not
sound sense 10 maintain that fraudulent
decisions should stand
Ou- very goId reason for reviewing
the decisions which have shocked the
people is that the late Court was not
constitutional The people had nothing
10 Say about its composition. The
properly constituted Court was over
thrown to make room for two men who
were able 20 barely gain a livelihood by
the practice Of law, though one Of them
had the prestige Of the title 81 eX-
Senator Even now the Governor has
had to give him an appointment to get
him something to DO, though the voters
emphatically denounced him in the last
election Il the voters had selected the
late Court, there would be some reason
in asking q EN- to submit to its decis-
ions as 1t is they have an undoubte d
right 20 object and 10 ask that its cases
come before the present Supreme Court,
composed OF honest and honorable men,
selected al u popular election.
