st. John tells us that "Jesus loved Mar
tina and Mary and Lazarus" and yet but
few glimpses are vouchsafed us of them.
First the sisters are set before US with a
word. Martha received Jesus into her
house, and was busy in outward, loving,
lavish service, while Mary sat in silence at
the feet she had bathed with her tears.
Then their brother is i'll, and they send to
Jesus; "Lord, be whom Thou lowest is
sick" And in His own time the Lord
came, and they 60 out to meet Him /; and
then follows that scene of unutterable ten
derness and of su blimity unsurpassed the
client waiting of Mary Martha strong in
faith, but realizing 30 vividly, with her
practical tarn of mind, the fact of death.
and besitating; "Canst Thou show Thy
wonders in the grave =" And then once
again, on the eve of His Passion, we see
Jesus at Bethany. Martha, true to her
character, is serving; Mary, as at first,
pours the precious ointment in alteration
and love, on bis Divine head.
And then we find the tomb of St. Martha
at Tarasc0n in Provence. When the storm
ofpersecution came, the family of Bethany,
with few companions, were put into
boat without oars or sail; and borne to
the coast of France. st. Mary's tomb is
at ST. BAnme: st. Lazarns is venerated as
the founder of the Church of Marseilles
and the memory of the virtues and labors
of st. Martha is still fragrant at Avignon
and Tarascon.
When Martha received Jesus into her
house, she was naturally busy in prepare
tions for such q guest. Mary sat at His
feet, intent alone on listening to His gra.
cious words. Her sister thought that the
time required other service than this, and
asked our Lord to bid Mary help in serv-
ing. Once again Jesus spoke in defence of
Mary. "MarIha, Martha," He said, "thou
art lovingly anxious about many things;
be not over-eager; do thy chosen work
with recollectedness. Judge not Mary.
Hers is the good part, the one only thing
really necessary. Thine will be taken
away, that something better be given
thee" The life of action ceases when the
body is laid down but the life of contem-
plation endures and is perfected in heaven.

UNJUSTIPIABLE.

To THE EDITOR or THE NEW NORTHWEST;
The political campaign just closed
was characterized by most shameful
slaudering OF nearly all the candidates
for Office. Our newspapers and circu-
lars will find their way to distant sec
tions Of the United States, and to most
Of the continental sections of Europe,
and parts Of Asia. Persons in those
countries will set very low estimate
upon our prominent men-those who
were nominated by county and State
conventions here. In the precinct pri-
maries-the true Democracy OF our
country-lOcal delegates were chosen,
aud hence all the candidates derived
their nominations, which came from
State and county conventions in Oregon.
II all these candidates are such base
men, their nominations must have
come from equally corrupt voters; and
hence il follows that the great mass OF
the Oregon men are fit subjects for
prisons. Shame, shame, on all pub

very best citizens. All of the candi-
lates for Offices are men of fair charac-
ters and standing in their several towns
aud country districts. To say that
they all have been perfection would be
false. deeply regret that ISLANDERS OF
50 base a character have been so unspar-
ingly promulgated against our fellow
citizens, whose chief crime seemed at
last to be political aspiration. IL is said
that when rogues fall out honest persons
hear the truth concerning the rogues.
But few Of the men in either Of the po-
itical parties as officers in Oregon were
I 10 nomination. Most Of the candidates
were men from amongst the people who
promised reform aud fidelity in Office il
elected. It is manifest that there have
ueen grievOus frauds and peculations in
| The State, and in some of the counties,
Dy the iucumbents in those offices. The
TWO main political parties bring forth
/ documentary evidence to prove that the
other party was little more extrava-
/ CANT, dishonest, and reckless while in
office than the accusers. As they are
all honorable men, as Marx Anthony
would say, We must credit their show
ing Of figures as true, and say that for at
least fifteen years the taxpayers Of Ore
gon have been grievously swindled and
! pppressively taxed.
Thus, taking all statements in the ac-
count, the public men here, past and
present, are a,Cful feiiotCs! But we will
compare them with prominent men in
ike positions in other States, aud III,
comparison will be in our favor Per
maps, however, now that the election i,
over, the fighters will calm down and
| cease their ISLANDERS.
''Tis a consummation devou,ly % be wished

ONE WOMAN'S OPINION.

To THE EDITOR OF THE NEW NORTHWEST:
The Inconsistency and cruelty of war
IS never more apparent than when 3
ireadful war is raging. What, indeed,
IS war, but wholesale butehery of large
bodies Of men, not one in one hundred
IF whom know the cause Of the quarrel,
lr are in the least affected by the issue.
National honor, we are told, must be
maintained, but what honor can there
oe in numbering a thousand human be-
iugs because leaders hold different opin-
ions? Yet men seek to make this
outchery honorable, aud give it theiI
sanction and applause. The man who
mas most skillfully planned military
operations that have resulted in the loss
II scores of human lives is the one most
greatly honored by his country. 1t il
iishOnorable to kill human being for
mere difference Of opinion, but highly
commendable TO kill or lay plans to kill
thousands for mere difference Of opinion
1f those in authority. As long as the
people sing praises to conquerors and
lyrants, so long will these flourish;
neither have people right to complain
Of oppression that they foster by their
ignorant adulation. Let respect and
honor be rendered to humanity and vir-
tue; let shame and dishonor be meted
out to vice aud oppression, and the
moral, social, and intellectual world
will assume different aspect.
"Yet in the maddening maze orthings,
And tossed by storm and hood,r
The worlds workers have the consola-
tion of seeing that knowledge is steadily
advancing, and where but a few short
years ago only mighty minds aud few
spoke out against war and its kindred
evils, hundreds now denounce them.
Brute force has been the ruling element
Of the past, and red-handed war is it
closest ally.
But the golden age Of reason is ad-
vancing and gradually dissolving the
iron bands that prejudice has for ages
been forging and force strengthening
War is inconsistent, as it is brutal, and
nine times out of ten the difficulties
which cause il could be easily and ami
cably settled by an appeal to reason.
All thinking beings have a right to
opinions Of their own, and neither fire
nor sword has ever yet been able to
eradicate those that are honestly formed
and grounded on principle. Such means
may subdue or hush them into silence,
but this is surely an ignoble triumph,
and one unworthy Of the name. E.

TIE RESULT.

Republicans have elected the entire
state ticket, except member Of Congress.
and the Democrats have the State legis-
lature on joint ballot Of ten. Political
papers deal largely in the causes Of the
result, each from its own political or
personal standpoint. 1t is useless to at
tempt to 'point a moral" from these
things, as there don't appear to be any
thing that the snblimest stretch Of char
ity could consider "moral" iu political
matters at present, and as the rehearsal
Of the various tricks and devices by
which defeat or victory was accom-
plished would hardly ''adorn a tale" we
forbear the attempt. The fight was an
anxious and bitter one, and many of the
successful candidates even look as if
they had been whipped, so great has
been the strain upon their nerves for
weeks past. The defeated will probably
not secede from the Union, nor the vic
torious win in their positions lasting re-
nown. Quiet in political circles will be
restored until the legislature convenes
aud the fight for United States Senator
commences, when all the more subtle
arts Of political knavery will be prac-
ticed by political demagogues, that the
lear people may be represented (e) prop
cry. "a government Of aud by the
people." What a misnomer.
