1t has always passed our compre

want to vote should so violently up-

of women is legitimate but the ef-

dom of others and we have little
patience with those women who
would deny to others a privilege or
right simply because they do not
wish TO exercise it themselves.
The associations opposed to the
extension of suffrage to women oc-
casionally send us their publications
with request to notice them editor
tally We comply with pleasure
These associations are, in our opin.
ion, deserving of nothing but the
disapproval of liberal minded peo.
pie They are anachrouisms They
are unsuited to the progressive age
in which they live, and opposed to
the tendency of the times, which is
in the direction of liberty and rec
Ognition of human equality without
distinction of sex. We believe that
the exclusion of woman from the
polls is one of the causes of political
corruption but we contend that,
whether it is or not, there is no nat.
ural right possessed by men which
ought not to be shared by women
The ethics of the qustion do not
concern us any more than does the
more debatable question of expedi.
ency. 1t is enough for us that all
persons are born free and equal ;and
the fact that few intolerant women
deny the right of their sex to poiti-
cal equality with men, leaves as I'M
convinced so long as one solitary
woman exists who is ready TO claim
her birthright
There is no argument used by
these associations against female
suffrage that has not done duty a
thousand times to block the way OF
men to democracy There has been
no reason advanced for the denial tC

THE WASHINGTON LETTER.

(From Our Regular Correspondent

President Mckinley and his entire
Cabinet are perfectly satisfied with
the Cuban situation and thoroughly
confident, from Trustworthy infor-
nation they have received, thataft.
er a little sputtering, the Cuhans
will accept the conditions laid down
by Congress. There has been no
foundation for any Of the sensation

leging that it was contemplated to
increase our Naval Force in Cuban
waters and to send more troops To
Cuba. to awe the Cuhans into ac-
cepting the conditions Neither
action has been at any time contem-
plated and no official in Washing
ton has any idea that any circtm
stances can possibly arise that viii
make such action necessary. Tn,
situation Is being lnisrepresented a.

as in Washington, but these misrep

vent a satisfactory ending of til,

Our Prosperity.

Nothing could more surely and
clearly indicate that the prevailing
prosperity Of the country is founded
on sound basis than the figures
showing the large increase in the val
ne of American farm products in re-
cent years. According to a statement
just issued by the department Of Ag-
riculture, the farmers of United Stat
es received sls5, 296,l72 more for
their products than they did in 1899.
The greatest advances were observed
in corn and hay, the advance in the
price Of the latter giving the farmers
over s83, 900, 600 more in 1900 for a
crop of fifty million tons than was re-
ceived in 1899 for crop of over fifty
six and a half million tons. These
figures help To explain why populism
and other heresies Of the kind have
not fourished in recent years. Tie

Meat Eaters

In Graphite for December, 1899,
was quoted Kansas philosopher on
the subject Of pork eating. Among
the quotations were the following:
"Americans are the most frisky
people on earth, because they cat
the most hog meat"
"A vegetable-diet woman is as
cold and clammy and unlovable as a
turnip. IT, you wish to put roses in
the checks of your girls, vitality in
their every motion, and brains in
their heads, feed them on meat"
''If you want your boy to get job
and hold it, go to the front and
amount to something, give him ba-
con, grease, ham, fat or tallow three
times a day"
A man, while resting himselfin the
Hotel Metropole, Bruxells, clipped
the following from some paper and
sent it to the editor Of Graphite with
the remark: GAS Americans are be-
lived to be 'hustlers' more than any
other people, this may be the reason
why:'

this abstraction Of money, was a fraud too
plain for argument that these suits now
pending against O'Reilly in the state
courts for an unpaid assessment, and for
the restoration Of money alleged to have
formerly been taken by O'Reilly and
Lyle from the company, were palpably
schemes to oppress O'ReiIy and freeze
him out Of tn, corporations; that the stock
was paid up and the assessment Of It was
invalid. He questioned whether Altschul
and Rambaut could call for redress Of
these grievances. The court wanted no
further argument on the facts, but was
not at all sure about the law, and this
point he would take under advisement.
His doubt was what his powers were un-
der the cumStantes, and whether re.
ceivershp Of the corporation was neces.
sary to redress these frauds, or whether
the trouble could be reached by less dras.
tic methods. TO this point he wished
counsel to address themselves when they
submitted briefs. The court then said
that he could not take the matter into
consideration until his return from Puget
Sound. Meanwhile he would suggest
that the parties settle their difficulties out

Quartz Over Placer Locations.

In the Superio, court Of Shasta county,
Judge Sweeney recently rendered de.
cislon affecting the location OF quartz
claims over placer. IN the case of Irene
Persing VS.. !. McCandliss ct al, a placer
claim located by the defendant in the
north halt OF lot 4, section 3, township 81
north, range q west, was subsequently re.
located as quartz by the plaintiff, who
claimed that discovery had been made of
q vein OF lode OF sufficient extent and
value to make the ground valuable for
quartz mining purposes. suit was
brought for the purpose of establishing
plaintiffs contention as against the va.
lidity Of the placer location. The fact that
a quartz vein existed and contained gold
values was proven, but his honor held
that discovery was not complete, unless
sufficient value was discovered to warrant
any reasonable person working II for
profit. Where no prior location exists,
the question as to how much value is ne.
cessary would, Of course, not enter into a
determination Of what constitutes dis.
covery. The discision gives the benefit Of
q doubt to the first locator, where 1t prop.
erly belongs, as In most cases subsequent
locations partake Of a form Of blackmail,
and should not be tolerated.-Oregon

Freiehting Ia Early Days.

a recent issue Of the Oregonian has an
article describing the difficulties attending
the moving of an engine and boiler from
Sumpter to one OF the adjacent mining
camps, which Is mild compared with the
transportation OF heavy mining machinery
In this country in early days. In 1905,
Joe Lockwood, the veteran treighter OF
this country, contracted TO deliver an en-
CINE and boiler at Canyon City, from The
Dalles, for fifteen cents per pound. The
incidents connected with this task are no
doubt fresh in the memory OF several
Grant county citizens today. There were
no roads Al that time leading TO Canyon
City, and Mr. Lockwood started out from
The halles over the wilderness with the
machinery loaded on two wagons, to
which was attached forty yoke ot oxen,
and cut his way through mountains and
daleS, leaving The Da,eS in February and
reaching Canyon City the following
April He accomplished a much more
difficult lea, than did the treIghters AT
Sumpter referred to in the Oregonian.
