A REMEDY.

The vast difference between modern
temples of worship and the first
temples employed, ere man learned
To hew the shaft and lay the architrave,
And spread the roof above Them"
Is every year more noticeable The
Christian Standard accounts for the re-
luctance Of men to connect themselves
with religious organizations by the fact
that religion in these days is made 'too
expensive" Many are unable to bear
their proportion Of the heavy church
running expenses, and they are unwill-
ing to occupy free seats aud be known
as "pious paupers;" so they remain at
home waiting for the time which seems
further Off each year, when respectable
religion will be less costly. While we
do not advocate the doctrine of going
back to the time Of the disciples iD re-
ligious observances and customs, we do
believe that a less ostentatious religion
in outward forms and surroundings
would cause its vOtaries to partake In a
Tar greater degree Of the spirit of the
Master and lead them more readily TO
conform to the simplicity and earnest
ness that characterized his life. The
taxation Of church property would tend
toward greater simplicity aud lessen the
denominational pride which ereets
costly aud magnificent temples Of wor-
ship that exclude Gods poor from the
sanctuary and foster arrogance and ex-
clusiveness in those Of whom il WAS
said, at is easier for a camel To qo
through the eye Of neeilen than for
them to enter the kingdom of heaven
We therefore believe that churches be-
yOnd q certain value should be taxed
equally with other property, being
nothing more nor less than costly piles
erected to sectarian pride, which luxury
it is right and proper should be paid
for to help defray the expenses Of crime
that an aristocratic religion creates by
holding itself so far aloof from the toll
ing masses, that it fails as q preventive.

PAST ALL DIsHONoR.

On Saturday afternoon the remains Of
the executed criminals, Brown and
Johnson, were laid to rest in the green
bosom Of Lone Fir Cemetery. "The
warrant has been executed" and the
two misguided aud unhappy men, "past
all dishonor," sleep not less peacefully
that the awful shadow Of the gallows
falls ath hwart their graves. Let the ST.
lence Of death, sacred and unbroken,
set its eternal seal upon the frailties
that caused them to suffer the full ex-
tent Of human penalty for violated law.

to the Gazette:
Would il not be right and just for our

ment to the constitution, leaving out
the word "male" citizen and saying
"every" citizen that is Jwenty-One years

find that this Is nothing more than an
advanced step of right and Justice, and
directing a higher standard Of morals.
Taking this question in all its bearings,
/ am astonished that this band of true
women has been Kept from their rights
80 long. Starting over six years ago,
fighting for their rights with only one
paper, the JEW NORTHWEST, they have
received some favors by the last legisla-
ture, such as voting in school meetings,

Poor Whitesp and Whisku-

We clip the following relative to the
hue and cry against the Chinese from a
correspondence in Mondays Oregonian:
The great argument against these
Chinamen is that they crowd poor white
people out Of employment, and thereby
degrade and impOverish them. Now, If
the men who use this argument were
really sincere, / could respect them,
Notwithstanding our difference in opin-
ion. But to expose their want Of can
dor in the matter, have to refer to but
two facts, viz: first, that whisky and
tobacco have injured these "poOr
whites" a thousand fold more than all
the Cinnamon in America ever have or
ever can injure them; second, that those
who make the most noise about the
Cinnamon have never uttered even a
whisper against whisky and tobacco.
10 Is well known that one Of our low
grog shops can degrade aud impoverish d
more persons than a thousand China
men, and yet, If there Is an effort made
to close them, these noisy advocates OF
the 'pOor whites will rally to their
support.
