SECRET SOCIETIES.

A little pink-tinted paper that comes
from Portland, Oregon, dated Decemksr Is,
and which is called the For Popnl, has a
long first page article beginning like this:
The multiplication OF secret societies at
the present day ought 70 be made the SUBJ
ject OF consideration, inasnuch as many OF
them are dangerous to the welfare of we'll.
regulated community. 1t has become the
idea that person, in order to succeed must
be 4 member OF at least a half-dozen secret
societies, and that he must call every other
man he meets brother.
Perhaps if We should say that in another
column of the same paper, a long list Of the
blood curdling volumes from the press of the
Police Ga.ette appears, other comment would
be unnecessary but as there are few weak
minded old gentlemen and dyspeptic old
ladies IL this community who sometimes
make themselves hear in strains something
like the above, We cannot forbear at least a
laugb, over their second childish notions on
the subject Of Secret Societies.
Before society was, Secret Societies ex-
listed, and they will exist when society crum-
bles again, Secret Societies was the parent Of
civilization, and thank Goa they s.ill watch
over it with parents eye. The little turf
built hamlets, first brought together by un-
civilized man, were nothing more nor less
than Secret Societies. Secrecy was neces-
sary to their very existance; without it their
ruder neighbors would have easily made
way with their homes and their lives. The
most charitable opinion a. which We can ar
rive when we hear any one spoutipg against
Secret Societies, is that the poor spouter
may. sometime have been black balled by
some worthy order. In that case they have
a right to talk

POOR BEGUuHD ONES.

The Newell Colony" that settled seven
teen miles south OF Olympia, about year
ago. has a long report Of its progress and
prospects in the last Olympia Transcript. 1t
consists principally Of poetry by Yankee
fellow named Longfellow, and, at the close,
mentions the names Of a couple OF babies
that were born during the year. By the
way, they can't he good soldier breeders 1t
tells, too, about the poor unfortunate Colony
having had to build seven miles of new road
and fifteen rods of massive new cedar bridges,
culverrs and corduroy. to enable them to get
ont OF the old, extinct volcano crater that
the humane people of Olympia made them
present of. This may be stretching it a lit
tie; but 10 be serious We cannot, for the life
Of us, see why any people capable of ordina-
ry understanding can go 10 such country as
that and content Themselves With barest
kind of a living, while they are whiting
down mountains and grubting up pine trees.

staring them In the face in the future. The
Sound country. We are free to admit, is a
splendid eountry for some thinSa, ami a man
with plenty Of capital can profsably 60 there
aud gamble IN real estate on which or what
is to be the future great city of the Coast !:
but for farmers-pshaw! they might as well
have stsyed where weary mothers weep
and children moan" Come to a country
where wealth awaits each man who cares to
toll tor it where no roads, bridges, culverts
nor corduroys are needed, where We know Of

too glad that all of his class are beginning to
think so. 1t is still within the memory OF
some Of the older citizens, when hungry

orows .duIler and duller every day, and
