lack of good sense, decency and regard
for truth rs 'sRev." Driver has exhib-
tied while pretending to be follower of
the "meek and lowly Jesus?" And if
he were a worthy and conscientious
man, would he desire to appear before
the public in debate on religious sub
jects with one whom he had thought it
a duty to denounce in terms which he
applied to me?
While 1 am willing to discuss the
claims and merits of the Bible and
Christianity with elergymen of educs-
ton and representative character, no
good, think, can result from debate
with such an ignorant, violent and un-
scrupulous man as ''Rev." Driver is
generally represented to be.
I decline the more readily to meet
"Rev.p Driver in discussion, since in a
few days 1 shall probably have the
pleasure of engaging in debate with
Prof T. F. Campbell, of Monmouth Col
lege, a man who is not only an honorable
and high-minded gentleman-sO 1 am
credibly informed-but n ripe scholar,
skillful debater, and an earnest and con-
sistent representative of Christianity.
With the prospect of having such an
opponent, there is no shadow Of q rea-
son why should appear before the pub
lie in discussion with such man as the
''Rev." Driver.

RELIEF.

Men and women who have never
known the real woes Of destitutiOn are
evidently poor judges of what consti-
tutes relief to those who have been
turned into the world penniless by q
devastating fire. One gentleman we
wot Of lost his entire household furni-
ture, including the family's clothing
and beds. The "Relief Committee" {"
which thinks Portland needs no aid
from abroad, magnanimously gave him
fifty dollsrsl How much relief is that ?
Another, an old man, well known in
the city, who was equally unfortunate,
received one hundred dollars. A barber
lost his entire outfit, costing about $3.50.
he applied to the Committee for fifty
dollars, saying that If he could get that
sum he could borrow the balance from
his friends and begin again. He was
denied the relief! 1t was decided that
he was an able-bodied man and could
work! The man had not asked for
charity but justice.
We do not blame the committee for
being cautious as to distribution OF
funds, but we do blame them for refus-
ing from abroad the aid that our people
need to make them, as they were before
the fire, self-sustaining. To throw tn,
sufferers, who were self-sustaining be
fore the fire, a crust here and morse
there, is not only no lasting relief but ,
downright insult.

GALL FOR EXHIBITS.

Communications published recently
in the morning papers from his Honor
the Mayor state that $4,000 received
by the Committee from San Francisco
for the Portland sufferers has been used
for their benefit, and the city Is not in
need of further aid. Munificent sums
from our own citizens and also from
many other sources have been poured
into the lap of the Committee. Now,
the people want to know how that
money was appropriated. They demand
a public exhibit Of disbursements. They
are not disposed to brook the "mod-
esty," which covers public disasters, that
no human effort can avoid, with man.
tie of charity, and hides recipients OF
aid from the world lest they or their
friends may "blush" because Of the visit
Of the fire fiend. Aid in a case like this
is not charity. 1t is business. Such
sums as our Mayors modesty would al
low the people to bestow, have passed
under his supervision in their disburse-
ment. Let him publish the facts and
hgures. Will he do it?

HAVE We A REPUBLICAN ORGAN
IN THE CITY

This thought is taking tangible shape
and giving itself vent from the brains
and tongues of many anxious citizens.
Picking up the Oregonidn Of Monday,
we read, under the head Of exciting
times,n factious TRADE against the Re
publican primaries, and the office
holders who figured therein, as that
Journal represents, alone.
"Now," we thought, sis a splendid
opportunity for the Bulletin to read the
Oregonian a much-needed homily upon
party fealty and partisan ethics" But
the Bulletin didn't see it; or seeing,
didn't think it necessary to expostulate
or scold. So the Republican party Of
Portland stands to-day in the humili-
tating position Of being without an or
gan which will treat its official acts
with decency, or at least, without an
organ that will defend and sustain its
dearest interests.
We venture the assertion that If a
new Republican dailyand weekly news
paper, which should contain the ring OF
true patriotism, and maintain the dig
nifty Of the party, as the Oregonian so
proudly did few years ago, would lead
off in this city it would leave the present
hybrid, tlme-serving, half an half news
papers entirely in the shade.
A year ago the only issue between
the great opposing parties was the spoils
Of Office. Now, the Republican party
having won, the issue is between i'ls
and outs among themselves. II the
Republican newspapers only had little
more backbone, and would stand square
ly upon the National platform, not for
getting woman's splinter in it, these
factions would lose themselves in a
great moral battle for principle; but the
Portland Republican press has imbibed
the venal spirit Of the age, and contents
itself, on the part Of the Oregonidn,
with low scandal, the work, principally,
Of anonymous reporters and newspaper
correspondents, against a party leader
who has out-distanced its owner in the
race for Office, and winks at acts Of well
authenticated moral turpitude of pres
ent date and equal magnitude, in
Democratic State official, who doesn't
happen TO stand in its sunshine; and
the BulIetia, while blowing neither
cold nor hot, cannot hope to WELD much
influence. So the people who foot the
bills, read the one, and growing dis
gusted, read the other and are disap-
pointed in both; then they turn to each
other and ask in deep solicitude, the
important question, "Have we a Re-
publican organ in the city?"

HAVE OUR BRETHREN FALLEN so
LOW 2

The San Francisco Bulletin" remarks that
IL there is anything more than another which
is calculated TO excite derisive laughter Il is
political platform when presented rs a guar
anty OF anything in the efuiure.-lOregonian.
Is it possible that the great American
Nation, whose empire spreads from
Orient to Occident, upon whose broad
domain the fervent sun looks down,
kissing at dewy morn the fringes of the
broad Atlantic and dipping at eventide
its golden rays into the briny waves of
the yet broader Pacifiic-a Nation born
in bloodshed, Graded in agony and
baptized in tears--is it possible that
such a Nation, receiving existence at
such a price, has indeed fallen so low
that its political platforms when pre-
sented as a guaranty Of the future" are
more than all things else calculated to
excite derisive laughter ?''
Merciful God! have we come to this I?
And can our Nation live long under
such a regime? When a Government
Of the people, by the people, loses the
confidence Of that people, what is there
to constitute its strength? Time was
when party that stultified its platform
was considered disgraced, dishonored
and publicly condemned. What but
this brought on the great Rebellion,
which deluged our fair land in woe ?
What but this laid countless sons OF
women low on Southern plains, or
starved them in Southern prisons ?
What but this overturdened our Nation
with debt and eats to-day into its vitals
with ever-cankering interest? And yet,
when prominent paper like the San
Francisco Bulletin '1aughs" ''deris-
ively' at the idea that anybody expects
political platform" to be guaranty
of anything it promises 'for the
future" another prominent paper like
the Portland OTegOnidn echoes the re-
frain, and relishes the lugubriOus joke
of which the entire Nation is ashamed.

INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION, 1876.
OFFIcE OF THE WOMEN's CESTENNIALl
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. J

OEFICF OF THE WOMEN's Centennial
EXECUTIVE Committee. J
Mrs. D,uli,C0y-Dedr Madam Hop
ing you already feel an interest in the
National Exhibition, which is to be
held in Philadelphia in 1876, write to
ask you to accept place on our Execu-
tive Committee to represent the inter
ests of Oregon.
We have recently enlarged our Com
mittee by adding to it one woman from
each State and Territory, and you are
the one chosen to be the member from
Oregon.
Our hope is to form Committees in
the different cities of the Union, whose
object will be the promoting of the in
terests of the Centennial Commission.
In forming these Committees in Ore
gon we shall of course desire your aid in
suggesting those who will be likely to
work with us, but the burden of this
work must of necessity fall upon those
who are at the Centennial point-PhiIa-
delphia. After the Committees are
formed they will report to you both as
to amounts collected and handiwork
furnished.
Hoping that you will be one of us,
and trusting that our women will be as
glad to work for our country's gala day
as they were earnest and untiring in
our National hour of sorrow, and with
the fullest hope Of favorable and speedy
reply, am, very truly yours,
f. d. GILLESPIE,
President Woman's Executive Centen-
nial Committee, 9O4 Walnut street

CENTENNIAL EXECUTIVE.

The reader will see by reference to a
letter in another column, that the editor
of this paper has received the appoint
ment of Centennial Executive for the
State of Oregon. The appointment was
as little dreamed of as a journey to the
moon, and for twenty-four hours after its
reception considered almost as imprac-
ticable. But a conference Of friends in
sisted that we should not decline, and
partly to please them, partly to crafty
ourself, but chiefly, with a hope that
the position would enable us to further
the Interests Of the women of the State
to greater extent than we otherwise
could hope to do, we decided, full as our
hands already are, to undertake its
duties. In accepting the responsibilities
which the position imposes, we hope to
have the hearty cooperation Of every
woman in the State. Let us all re-
member that of all the millions which
now compose our National population,
not one will be upon the earth when
the next Centennial Anniversary shall
dawn. Let us take especial pains to
leave as q heritage to our pOsterity such
heir-looms of the great Exhibition-our
own handiwork-as shall cause them to
the third and fourth generation to keep
our memory green. Let US prepare, to
the utmost Of our taste and skill, such
imperishable articles as our great-great-
grandchildren, will delight to exhibit
upon the natal day of the next National
Centenary.
We hope shortly to have cooperative
Committees formed in every city, town
and village, and in a few weeks at most,
to have the work thoroughly sys-
tematized. Let Oregon, remote as she
is from the Centennial point, prove her
self as able to overcome the disabilities
Of distance as her people were heroic
and willing in surmounting the same
obstacles in the early days of her settle
ment, when they braved the terrors of
the wilderness, the mountain and the
savage, enduring the privations of
frontier life and the hardships incident
TO the settling of a new country. And
let them prepare for the coming gala
day Of the Nation fit evidences of their
enterprise, intelligence and skill. Let
us prove to the older States that Oregon,
the gem Of the Occident, though young
in years, is not wanting in wisdom.
From time to time, as we receive in
formation in regard to the work, we
shall keep our readers posted. Hon. a.
J. Dufur, Centennial Commissioner,
will doubtless be able to give us many
valuable suggestions.
In the meantime, circulate the New
NORTHWEST, and send US subscriptions
TO keep it going. Let us help each
other, and in so doing, help ourselves.
Ladies who are willing to act as local
committees will please send us their
names, or suggest the names of such Of
their friends as they deem most likely
to aid in the work. Much can be done
at the approaching State Fair, where
our citizens will be addressed upon the
subject.

PROF. UNDERWOOD.

This noted lecturer has given the citi-
zens of Portland two diseourses during
the week, which were largely attended
and attentively listened to. As d free
thinker" he is a decided success, and
there is much in his lectures that is
profitable TO an analytic mind, yet
some Of his therories are not only far
fetched, but are so strongly put that
they weaken his argument. But we
are no theOlogiaR, and if the Portland
ministers will not meet this anti-Chris-
tian philosophers logic, we don't know
that we are called upon to attempt it.
