In a word, it is the acme of what
the country needs to purify and

GRANTING THE RIGHT is the business
in the case, and every tyro knows
that the grandest right carries no

for the concession carries no obliga-

The Recorder has received a copy
of small paper from Boston, call
ed the Remons trance, which is very
earnestly and zealously devoted to
opposing woman's Suffrage. The
object in sending this sheet to Kan
sas Just now evidently is to defeat
the amendment in this state, but we
cannot see what interest the Boston
people have in this matter. Unless
we are greatly mistaken the amend
ment we are going to vote on does
not enfranchise the Boston women,
but the Kansas women only. Now
we are not sure but if it did enfran-
chise the Boston women, we should
be opposed to it, for we seriously
doubt il they as mass are yet
ready and qualified for this exalted
duty. But as to Kansas, we have
not the slightest fear that. women
will not exhibit an ability in assist
ing in conducting the affairs of the
government at least equal to that of
men. The Remonstrance purports
to be sent cut by women, but it is
noticeable that the majority of ar
ticles in it are either signed by men,
or copied from newspapers presum'
ably edited by men. Consequently,
the main argument it is intended to
convey,vix; that the women of New
England are universally opposed to
voting themselves, but to their sis
ters in Kansas voting, and take this
method of demonstrating is defeated.
But even if the majority of the
women of Massachusetts, do not
want to vote, and even if some of
them are radically opposed to vot-
ing, it is certainly none of their
business if the men of Kansas choose
to undo the wrong of the past Gen.
turtles and give the women of Kan
sas what is their natural right. The
women, and men, too, of Massachu-
sets are hereby cordially invited to
attend to their own affairs, look af,

ployed laborers, and their hundred

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

Gus disuetude" with the grippe, and
consequently, have failed to con-
tribute my mite of information to
the AGIrAroR on that very important
and very Just proposition giving
equal suffrage to woman. | think
have studied this question unpreju-
dicedly and unbiasedly from every
standpoint, and very early in life l
became convinced that to grant wo-
man the same political privileges as
men was simple act of justice,
from the fact that she was the
creature affected by codes of law,
enacted by men, which she had no
voice nor ballot in making. This is
palpable injustice, from any civilized
point of view you choose to look at
it.
First If woman has not the
right of suffrage, she is not citi-
zen under the law, and, not being
citizen, she is, of necessity, classed
with idiots, imbecils and disfran-
chised aliens. She is ignored as
unfit to govern herself, and, conse-
quently, must delegate the ballot
power of making the laws to govern
her to her husband, her father or
brother. Lame and Improbable con-
clusion !! She has always, in the
entire history of civilized mankind,
cogently demonstrated that, politi-
cally, she was not only the equal OF
man, but, in numberless instances,
she has proved herself to have polit-
ical astuteness far superior to man.
If Caesar had paid attention to the
counsel of his wife, who was better
posted on the cabal laid for his de-
struction than he was, himself, he
would not have gone to the Roman
senate that day, in the "ides OF
March," and met his fate by assas-
sination. 1t was keen-cut knowl-
edge of the situation that induced
his wife to swerve Caesar from his
resolution, under the similitude of
dream. She knew, positively, more
abouC the complexion of politics in
Rome than Caesar knew. And all
down through the dark ages, until
Enlightenment begun to dawn, a
century before Shakespeare, we find
historical records of women coming
to the front, politically.
1t was a woman-Charlotte Cor
day-that first became convinced
that the Reign of Terror in France
could only be checked by the slaugh-
ter of the human brute, Marat, who
sent to the guillotine 500 heads a
day. She was poor country girl,
unlettered as to Paris, but she
rrasped the situation and didn't ask
"a male friend to help her out. She

willingly sacrificed her LIE TO save
the lives of her countrymen. Soil
tary and alone, she visited Paris,
reeking in blood, and found the res
idence of the arch fend who kept
the guillotine busy, and stabbed him
to death in his bath-tub. She made
no effort to escape, but suffered un-
der the knife the next day. With
this one country woman's act the
Reign of Terror ceased. Why did
not some noble male in France
butcher the fend Marat and stop
the butchery Simply because he
didn't see the political point, and If
he did, he didn't have the sand"
Ito use slang phrase) to do it.
Don't you think that poor French
country peasant girl would not have
known how to vote for good gov
eminent as against bad ?
Then turn to Jean d Arc, whose
bravery and skill al the head OF the
French army defeated the English
in several pitched battles, hand to
hand. This was another unlettered
country girl. Then what would the
court of Napoleon l. have amounted
to without the brilliant political and
diplomatic talents of Madam Rol-
land. and his first wife, with "a host
of others.
These very few references, which
I could swell to hundreds in culling
history, prove that woman's gift of
governing in the right direction is
by no means inferior to man, and in
multitudes of cases a direct suprem-
acy is cited.
Looking at the matter from this
standpoint alone, women should be
equal with man at the ballot-box.
Her perceptions, by nature, are
truer, cleaner and better than mans.
She will arrive at correct conclu-
sion, nine times out of ten, while
man, with his large brain convolu-
sons, is turning the matter over in
his slow, plodding brain to see
whether a conclusion can be reached
at all. In all things else, man de-
fers to the opinion of woman, just
as Adam did, but he. is afraid of her
when it comes to the ballot. With
precedents such as | have cited, and
with the test of 20 years in Wyo-
ming, and ten years of municipal
suffrage in Kansas, why should the
ungallant chords CT creation" hang
back at the polls next fall, and say
that woman is not worthy of equal
suffrage with man? There is every
iuducement for him to grant the SUI
frage to woman. 1t will give us
better government. 1t will get
away with "guttersnipe" politi-
clans; 1t will render the purchase of

Superintendent Wade, who has charge
of the bridge and trestle work for the
U. P, placed three donkey engines
along the track yesterday, one here, one
at Hood River, and one at some other
point. He tells us the trestles are all
completed to Cello, and that the road
will be opened to that point just as soon
as the rails can be laid, and this will be

lower the trestles will be put back.

body amused themselves as best suited
them. There was yacht race, horse
races, a walk-around by the HOOD River
Indians in costume, and ball game be-
tween impromptu clubs of The Dalles
and Hood River, the latter winning by a
score of twenty-five to five. Many re-
paired with their lunch baskets to the
big spring in Goes field where Hood
River gets her water from, and spent a
larger portion of the afternoon there.
It is one of the prettiest spots on earth.
It was very quiet, but the weather was
fine and all seemed to enjoy the outing.
Quite a number visited the Cascades
and the Washington portage and a
goodly number went to the picnic on s.

The water level was run through from
the high water mark cut on the corner
of THE CHRONICLE building to the gov

made June 9th at IL o'clock, was 1854
feet. Measured from the high water
mark of 1875, in THE CHRONICLE Office
basement, the water of 1894 was feet,
113s inches higher than in 1875. This
varies only an inch and tenth from
