Oregon and Washington Territ ory.

Oregon is very nearly one-half great
er in area than Washington territory,
and in 1870 had just four times as
many people 1000 to $4,000.
What the population of the Webfoot
state now is cannot be positively stated
but if it still continues four times great
er than ours it must be fully 26O, 900
to-day. The most devoted Oregonian
however, does not claim more than l6O,-
600, and an accurate census return
will probably be under rather than over
that figure. Our territorial assess
ment for 1879 amounted to S2l,O2l,-
S32, while their state assessment
amounted to S46,370,674. Their as.

THE RANCHERS OPINION.

know lisa fact, parson jist as ye say,
That sin is a gatherin' force
An increasin' around us day arter day.
Which is rough on your business, OF course.
But beg to remark, in passin' along,
That it ain all outside o. your church.
An thar's thousands a singin' the piety song
That's CIV inc ter git left in the lurch.
My cows an Bill Murray's got mixed up
somehow,
Into one big promlscuous flock,
An strayed from the ranches, when Bill left
q the pillow
An went to look arter the stock.
Thcys bin strayin' six months; an right thar
again
My side OF the argument wins
When Murray come home my COWS had no
calves,
While his'n war all blessed with twins!
'Twar a curious freak O. natur, he said
An almos past human belief
An then he looked puzzled; an scratched OF
his head,
But knowed 'twar the freak of thief,
'Twar no use to fly 'roun an kick up muss
An try his ha-rack-ter to smirch
Fur am wicked, rantankerous cuss,
While he's the head deacon in church;
AS I said at the start agin repeat,
That sin rises up all around.
AM sometimes appears to spring up jist as

Springs spontaneous up from the ground,
But it isn't contin ed to outsiders, like me;
Your church folks don't all toe the mark,
And thar's Just as good men f1oatin' out In The

KING BABY.

Tossing the little one in our arms;
Trotting and rocking it to and fro;
Seeking, by every art that charms,
TO quiet its earliest notes Of woe
No time of our own by day or night,
What boundless care is our hearts delight!
Mocking the sheep and the baying hound,
The call of the crow and the whistling quail
Gathering the toys that are scattered around
Trying a new, when the old ones fall
He rules his realm with despotic sway,
This autocrat of the night and day.
Feet m ust not tarry, nor hands move slow.
The wits and the fingers must work with
will;
For baby is king, he will have you know,
And baby Is cross when amusements Iali.
Ii the king be out of sorts, take care!
No peace in the kingdom anywhere.
But tell me now, If any one can.
With his notions and whims and crotchety
views,
'Twixt the petu' ant baby and petulant man,
Is there really very mucn to choose?
Pleasures and follies and schemes ca led grand
These are the employment OF heart and hand

AN IMPORTANT METHODIST COUN

AN IMPORTANT METHODIST COUN-
CIL.-THE Topics TO BE DISCUSSED
The Philadelphia Record says an i'm
portant movement is on foot looking to
the converting of an Ecumenical Coun
Gil or Conference of Methodists from all
parts of the world, TO be held in the
United States some time next year.
This idea was first mooted at the Meth
odist Episcopal Conference held in Bal
timore In May, 1878. when q committee
was appointed by the board of bishops
to take it into consideration. This body,
of which Right Rev Bishop Simpson
is chairman, has been in correspon
dence with representatives of the Amer
lean Wesleyan Church, the Methodist
Episcopal Church South, the Methodist
Protestant Church, the Evangelical AS
sociatioa. the Methodist and Methodist
Episcopal Churches Of Canada, the
Wesleyan Methodists of England, and
other bodies in every quarter of the
world. Favorable replies having been
received from one and all of these bod
les, Bishop Simpson has issued a re-
quest for a meeting of the committee.
to he held in Cincinnati on May 9th,
1885, to prepare call for The council.
Every recognized organization of Meth
odists will be invited to send its repre-
sentatives. It is expected that the con
ference will represent 2O,0OU, 900 Metho
dists in all parts of Christendom, as well
as in Asia and Africa. Its form object
will be to discuss topics relating to the
position, work and responsibility of
MethOdism for the evangellzation " The
discussions will not be limited to mere
interchange of views on general sub
jects. but will embrace proposed changes
in church rules and modes of govern
ment reform in missionary work, and
the adoption of a common psalmody
among all the Methodist churches. as
we'll as of uniform order of service
This latter feature, however does not
mean the adoption of prayer book,
after the Protestant Episcopal form, but
the introduction of a regular and stated
order of service, the tendency at the
present time being in the direction of
an increased formality in the modes of
worship.

which they would approve now would
be that which would abolish electors
altogether and make the President de-
pendent for his election upon direct
vote Of the people.
The Republicans will shortly have
it in their power to do what they please
in New York, for they will control the
legislature and the Governor, but any
scheme which may be inaugurated to
thwart the popular will, in that as
well as in other States in which the

Grant as a Sabbath Breaker.

From the Democratic Banner.
That General Grant has no respect
for the Christian Sabbath, cannot fail
to sadden the hearts of many who ad-
mire his military genius and even ap-
prove of his aspirations for third
term of civil service as Chief Magis-
trate of the Republic. While in Cali
fornia, every Lords day was specially
devoted to secular enjoyments and
pursuits, and when leaving the golden
shore he selected the first day of the
week for his embarkation, receiving
the multitndes with wild demonstra-
tions. At Colfax he was banqueted
on the Sabbath, and took an excursion
to Lake Tahoe. The day was a grand
gala day, reminding those present of
fetes in Spain aud France. Such
demonstrations are n disgrace tn the
Christian, law-abiding people of this
land, and he should forfeit the respect
and confidence Of that portion of our
population. A public man in this
age of enlightenment, when one of the
strongest bands which holds us togeth-
er is connected with the proper OBJ
servance and recognition of this day,
should have sufficient regard for the
better sentiment, if his own moral
perception of right failed to appreciate
the blessings flowing from proper
observance of this wisely ordained in
stitution.
The pulpit, press and lecture room
will fail in their duty, if they refuse to
condemn such n violation of moral
and statute law, and it behooves the
Christian people to frown down and
stamp with no feint mark their seal of
disapprobation. Gen. Grant should
remember the Sabbath day and keep
it holy.

The Latest Republican Scheme.

A plan has been broached to secure
the electoral vote of New York for
the Republican Presidential candidate
next year, in advance. The idea is to
have the incoming Republican legisla-
ture of the State exercise its constitu-
tional right of specifying by law the
manner in which the electors shall be
chosen, so as to give the party control
of the State college without the for
mality of further expression of opin-
ion on the subject By the people.
New York is looked upon by the
Republican party ct large as the State
whose vote will decide the Presiden-
tial election. The recent contest there
demonstrated that the Democrats,
with their factional differences harmo.
nized and their ranks united, will
carry it next year. Thus, with good
reason fearing TO abide the result OF
the election, the Republican managers
begin to discount the possibilities OF
stealing the electoral vote. The move
ment seems to have originated at
Washington.
A recent investigation developed
the fact that if 1t should be Republi.
can policy to cause all the State legis-
latures, at present controlled by the
party, to choose electors under the
provisions of the Constitution. they
would roll up about 200 votes in the
National college, which would make
the success of their Presidential candi-
date a foregone conclusion. The fraud
OF 1876 went to beget the hopes of a
similarly successful fraud in 1880.
The fascinating idea Immediately CON-
mended itself to the minds of the
leaders.
II Is in the nature IF superauiiy
which savors of insult % state that the
popular sentiment is all against this
method. The people propose to elect
their President next year in the old

A Reminiscenee Of Hooker.

How it came about that 5000 Con-
federate soldiers cheered Justify for
Fighting Joe Hooker" is explained
by the editor of the Rural Sun Nash
vile, Tenn, who was a prisoner at
Rock Island, ILL.,, during the severe
winter of 1884. The General visit
ed the military prison one day, and
all the inmates were drawn up in line
for inspection. His keen eye seemed
to scan every man from head to heel,
as he slowly passed before them, and
at the upper end of the lines the party
halted. The General half wheeling
his horse, lifted bis plumed hat with
as much knightly grace as If they had
all been courtiers, and a soft express
sion passed over his face as he said,
"Young gentlemen, am sorry, very
sorry for you, and hope soon our diff
ferences will be settled, so that you all
can return safely home again." Simple
as the expression was, 1t was 20 differ

Grant as a Religious Teacher.

Only yesterday, we spoke of Grant
as Sabbath breaker. To-day we find
the same parsonage receiving ministers
of all denominations in Chicago, and
giving them very wholesome advice.
They must have appreciated his sim
cerity, and felt that he had not only
become a convert to the temperance
cause, but transformed in a day from
an open violator of an express COM
mandment to n teacher of righteous
ness. We cannot look upon such n
proceeding with any patience whatever.
A man, who for months had used the
Sabbath as a special day for pomp and
popular ovations. causing thousands to
misspend its hours, is pretty speci-
men for clergymen to go to for relig-
ious consolation and advice. Ii is just
such indiscreet actions upon the part
of religious teachers that brings the
gospel into disrepute, and makes skep-
tics and free-thinkers. Instead of
seeking him for advice, if they had
called their respective congregations
together and made his wanton viola
ton of Christian laws a subject Of
prayer, it might have produced some
good, rather than make them appear
ridiculous in the eyes Of thinking men
and women, that class who believe re-
ligion is q principle, not mere senti-
ment TO answer the purpose of every
day conveniences. These Christian
ministers should consider that right
eousness exalteth q nation while sin
is a reproach to any people, and not
least among their sins eis a spirit of
hypocritical obeisance and man wor-
ship. In what snew character the
General will appear next, time will
develop.
