A large amount of righteous indignation
has been felt and expressed at the attempt
to further party purposes and raise party
fund by asking contributions from the
officials aud employees of the general gov
eminent. Every one readily recognizes it
as being an effort by the party in power to
perpetuate its control of the government
through the corrupting Influence of money
derived from persons who are not in con
dition to deny request preferred under
such circumstances. Although it is given
out with great showing of political virtue
that the contributions are expected as
voluntary act, yet the compulsory In
Auence, though indirect, is in most cases
quite as strong and irresistible as if it were

Our morning contemporary, the Union
says lit begins to look as if John Sherman
would be next president of the United

Sherman has already been shown up as
having good deal of republican, righteous

OREGON VOLCANOES.

A recent letter from Salem, Oregon,
to the Sacramento Record Union says:
81 have been interested lately in talking
with j. L. Parrish, one of the earliest
Methodist missionaries, who came to
Oregon in 1889, when all things were
aboriginal and untamed wilderness blos-
somed with the widest possible growth
of roses.
He describes an irruption OF Mount
st. Helens that occurred in the latter
part of November 1912, which was for a
short while very grand spectacle, and
continued, with lessened force, for long
time. There was no fire visible, but a
dense smoke poured out OF the side of
the mountain, sinking like black pail
on all the landscape, while viewed from
a distance of nt least 100 miles, as it was
from Salem, the observer saw pillars and
pillows OF steam rising above the crater,
presenting a strong contrast to the black
ness that hung below, and forming a
spectacle of unsurpassed magnifcence.
1t WAS great wonder while it lasted,
and distance lent an enchantment that
was not well appreciated by those who
dwell. near by, of whom there were not
many at that early day. A great area
that was reached by the sweep Of the
November winds WAS whitened with fall
ing ashes that looked very ominous, but
did no certain harm.
Occasionally one or other OF our noun
tain tops INDUCES in quiet smoke, but
not on such an extensive scale as did st
HeleDs thirty-tive years ago. I have
seen Monnt Hood pour out blackness on
a clear winter sky, and those who clint
the old hill speak of crater on the south
west. mile below the summit, where
the hot suphurous air rises betweer
loose rocks that are kept piping hot.
Mount Baker goes in a fume occasion
ally, but that is too far off to have much
interest for us. :"

Chief Joseph was found in his tent
enjoying a cigar, in company with his
wife, child and the warrior "Charley,"
who was first captured and sent here
some months before Jossph's defeat by
been recently released from the guard
house and permitted to take up his quar-
ters with his chief who had honored him
with trustworthy position during the
campaign. The chief appeared as tran
quill as on the day of his arrival, and was
dressed about in the same manner. He
stated through Charley, who acted as
interpreter, that he was not unhappy,
and that his people we're being treated
as well as could be expected. In front
of his neatly arranged tent stands large
tree, which be has blazsd, and on the
white wood painted number of
hieroglyphics, which detail the cause
of his residence on the banks of the
Missouri. The base of the "blaZe" is
filled with long row OF Indian lodges
painted in real. Above these are horses,
birds, wolves, dogs. and men, all repre-
sented in such manner as to convey
the idea that they are all closely con-
nected. One peculiur feature is that of
the outline OF the birds, if closely observ-
ed, very mnch resemble the birds carved
| on Cleopatra's needle, which has been
recently landed in London, and the po-
sition, too, is the same being at the top
of all other characters. Whatever it is,
it is of deep significance to the indians,
who all seem to be able to read it and
understand its report. The work was
executed by Chief Joseph himself, and
we must say that his talents as an artist
of this kind are not of the worst.
