New Light on Savage Peoples.

Recent researches in little known lands
have given US o different and more favor
able impression Of many Of their Inhabitants
When Mr.. II. o. FORBES and his vito set out
two years ago to explore the islands In the
Pacific known as the Tmor Laut group. they
were told that the natives were bloodthirsty
savages with whom their lives would not be
safe week. The Geographical Gazetteer says,
also. that Timor Laut Is inhabited by o race
notorious for It's treachery and its cruelty"
But this explorer and his wife lived three
months among these people, who gave them
building site. sold them supplies, took great
delight in teaching them their language and
impressed Mr.. FoRBEs - an amiable and
cheerful race.
DR.. JUNxRR. who has lived four years
among the Niam.Niams in Africa, declares
that SCHwEIHIURTH was wholly mistaken In
his belief that these interesting people were
anthropophagi. Six years ago no one knew
anything about the Congo natives above
Isanglla, SrANLKY's second station, except
that they were all cannibals These same
natives are now raising vegetables, grain,
and fruits for STANLBY's large force, and
they are no moro cannibals than the Euro
peans whom they are welcoming.

Oregon Refuses to Make tho Experiment,

Oregon Refuses TO Make tho Experiment.
Woman suffrage has received another blow
In the defeat Of the amendment to the Con-
stitutlon Of Oregon granting to the women
OF the State the privilege Of voting. Its ad-
vocates had strong hopes OF It's success, but
1t seems that the amendment received only
about one-third Of the votes cast.
Failure In Oregon Is the more disoouraginR
to the woman sufYragists because, II they
cannot succeed In nav State, the chsnces
for their political revolution must be small
indeed In the older States, where the conser.
vatism Is greater and there is more disposi.
ton to dread an experiment Of such i'm.
portance. 1t is probable, too. that their de-
feat In Oregon was largely due to a cause
which would be felt even more In the East
the hostility or indifference OF women them
selves to the proposed amendment.
We observe, however, that the disappointed
woman suffragists Of Oregon attribute their
defeat to the opposition Of tho slow and
vicious elements" Of society, which, they
say. everywhere are arrayed against "a
measure that would give the homo q chance
to mass it, powcr against al It's enemies"
Yet tho experience Of Wyoming seems to in
dictate that the admission Of women to tho
polls rather increases than diminishes politi.
cal corruption, and gives new power to vice,
instead Of crushing II.
We doubt very much whether the "low and
vicious elements Of Oregon were frightened
at the prospect Of woman suffrage, or con-
tributed very powerfully to bring about it,
defeat Both there and elsewhere they might
gain more than they would lose by the ca
pertinent; and fear that such would DO the
consequence makes many enemies Of woman
suffrage. Nor does actual test In Wyoming
esod to allay their approximations.
