HENRY WARD BEECHEIs.
An Off Hand Letter from the Plymouth Pas
tor to an Oregon Editor.

Portland (0re) Poaris.
Dear PoIaris:-I am not going to Europe
this summer, as you may have heard but
am coming out to your great Northwest just
as soon as my flock begins to show signs of
scattering for the hot months. | have son
out there on the Columbia and want TO see
what ne amounts to, now that he has Fad
trifle of practical training. | did not leave
the ministerial club for any but personal
reasons. l am Congregationalist, and shall
live and die one; but Christian so bound in
his own sphere of faith that his heart is
chilled toward his neighbour is slave, and
needs emancipation. He may not real
ize that his soul is a damp, narrow
cell, but his chains are none the less
real, and none the less kind is that outside
world. Here and there a mistake is still
made by some branch of the church. Re-
Gently the Presbyterian synod of an adjon-
ing State passed a law excluding instru-
mental music from the service. The most of
us laugh at such rulings OF the theological
fathers. Some wickedness is seen by them
in the organ, or perhaps among the giddy
choir.
The struggles which brought the personal
liberty of the last century brought more
than even patriots dreamed of IN their tents
AS when the pioneer buys his tract of land
in the Northwest, he becomes heir to all the
bird song and dewdropS of each morning in
summer, and owns all the showers that fall
upon his fields and all the sunshine that,
falling 95, 100000 miles he can catch upon his
outspread acres so, when men fight for lib
erty, they own afterward all the education
and manhood and equality, and the rein ed
religion which attach to this liberty, as sun
shine and song and dew and showers follow
the land.
You are right do not take any stock in
what is known as the orthodox basis of re-
vivaism, and as illustrated by the so.called
salvation Army" / think the whole
travesty of sacred thing You can no more
grow a soul in five minutes in the heated and
contagious air of tabernacle than can Jug
gler mature a rose on the stage before you.
l am glad to near that your townspeople
have resolved upon high license as the first
step toward prohibition. 1t is time that we
gave every man to understand that when he
impoverishes body and soul he is criminal.
l have seen whole families raked with this
Internal chain-shot of alcohol, and have
learned to hate it. 1t is good sometimes to
hate things and let the Indignation out But
your people will have to be alive and work
ing if they would succeed. | am ashamed to
say that while enthusiasm is never wanting
on the part of the saoon-keepers for the
work of the devil, we can never get up en-
thusiasm for the work of Christian temper
ance. Yours truly, II. w. BEEcHER.

The Junior English Speaks Family.

New York Special.
William e. English, of Indianapolis is at
the Leland Hotel. When asked to-day as
to the prospects of success of the Demo
Gratis OF his State in 1884, Mr. English said:
Indiana has always been doubtful State.
At one time it has gone Democratic, at an
other Republican"
us this due to local quarrels2' inquired
the reporter.
Not at all. The State is always close and
uncertain, because there is a sufficient num-
Der of voters called Independents or Green
hackers, or other convenient names. to hold
the balance of power. This element votes
with either party, as its interests dictate"
Twill not Indiana present a candidate for
the presidential nomination."
1T rather looks that way at present, for
we have two very excellent candidates in
the State. Mr.. Mcdonald or Mr. Hendricks
would either of them make very strong
candidate and either would be acceptable to
the Democrats of Indiana"

Governor Foster on the Ohio Canvass.
Interview in Washington.

AhteiNieN III NuSulu&lOn-
Governor Foster said: 1--WE are going to
make a fight on just the same platform we
did last fall when we were beaten, ana will
win it. You say we will lose the German
vote. Well, say rather, we will lose the
whisky vote. We cannot get it anyway, if
we went down on our knees and made all the
concessions they might ask. This element
knows its home is in the Democratic party,
and we cannot bamboozle them into our
camp. We are going to win the fight because
our people have come boldly up to the scratch.
We lost it last fall by cowardice by our lead
ers talking one thing in the country and
another in Cincinnati. We will gain this
fight because we are on the right side and our
people have screwed their courage up to that
point where they are not afraid of their plat
form. 1t is not for prohibition, nor hasit
anything to do with it. 1t is simply that the
liquor trade shall pay some license. Now,
there is less restraint upon the liquor traffic
in Ohio than in any other State or country
in the civilized world, and all we ask is that
this business shall pay its share toward pub
lie expenses. If the whisky interest arrays
itself against every other class Of business, it
will go under in the fight"
