PUERILE AND SILLY.

Rev. DIR. :. G. Irvine of Albany, inspired by
the ecclesiastical bigotry that always defeats its
own ends whenitis given rope enough, insanely i'm
agined that he was nficting lasting injury upon
somebody besides himself i'm the exhibition of pa
rental tyranny that prevented the Albany Ladies'
Band from honOrng their engagement to appear
at the ratification reception last week i'm Salem
His excuse for the outrage, that he 'dd not like"
a lady who had once vanquished him i'm fight of
his own making, was puerile and silly. Several
of the disappointed young ladies attended the rat
ifcation in spite of his clustering, but they were
powerless as a band without their tuba-bass
which was Miss Irvines instrument. Could the
reverend bigot know and realize the intense indig
nation of these insulted young ladies' or could he
understand, 10y any possibility of comprehension,
how thoroughly they must despise him for his
contemplate meanness, he might yet be able to
learn a lesson in this life which would save him
an age of remorse and suffering in the land Of
souls. But fear that ne will not profit, even
by experience He reminds Us of a school boy
who once attacked another, much better than
himself, and was justly rewarded by a deserved
thrashing. The defeated bully suIlenly watched
for opportunity for vengeance, and at last, as
he thought, ii came. He climbed upon the fence
and beloved at the victor who, with his sister,
was walking serenely by, and said "If | can't
whip yoU ] can make mouths at your sisterr'
The application is plain. If Dr. Irvine can'twhip
a lady whom he attacked without cause, and got
the worst of the encounter, he can make grmaces
at the State Of Oregon and insult the Young La
dies Cornet Band.

AN ILLIBERAL FREE-THINKER.

His name is Frank Payne, and he was, 10y some
sort of crOoedness for which some of the voters Of
East Portland were in some way responsible.
foisted upon the people Of Multnomah as a mem
ber OF the House Of Representatives. He calls
himself ''free-thinker." He is 'scared to death"
about 'God i'm the Constitution" and is opposed
to Woman Suffrage, his only reason being that
he is "agin it," He declines to read or reason
upon the question, says ne has no arguments for
or against it, and wants none; but he says he will
rote against it and get every other man to vote
against it that he can. Such a man has no more
conception Of "free-thinking' than pig has Of
pure mathematics. But it is at the feet Of just
such stupid tyrants that intelligent women must
bow in vain while they appeal for the ballot
Such men have no more right to the ballot them
selves than though they were donlleys. Intelli.
gence and morality should be the basis of suffrage
and the sex Of an individual, whether masculine
or feminine, should not be taken into account.

of summarily dealing with the Chinese problem

laboring people compete with coolie serfs; be-
cause the principles of his party in regard to pro-

Rev. s. G.. Irvine's refusal TO allow his daughter,
who is past twenty-one years of age, to play with
the Ladies' Cornet Band of Albany, is another in
stance to prove the necessity of civil and personal
rights for women. A young man could not be so
tyrennized over. The reverend bigOts son would
not and did not brook such despotism.
