EDITED BY THE W. c. t. U.
State Convention of the W. c. T. U. OF Ore
gon Held in Albany June 4th and 5th

A most interesting and profitable state
convention of the Oregon w. G. T. U.
closed ON June 5th.
The attendance at the convention was
very encouraging, noticeable among the
members were several gentlemen of high
standing in the community, who showed
great interest throughout the session, and
who by invitation of the Union addressed
them in an exceedingly pleasing manner.
Most excellent reports were read by the
superinteudents Of the different depart
ments, among them l can only allude to the
Press, Sabbath school, Evangelistic, Scien-
tific Instruction, which were especially
good. The latter department calling forth
legally enforced scientific teaching in every
normal school and public school, in fact in
every institution of learning throughout
the length and breadth of the land would be
the most powerful instrumentality that
could be thought to forever avert from the
young the perilous evils and temptations
leading to intemperance which now beset
them ON every hand. Whatever methods
in the wisdom of this convention shall be
deemed the best and most feasible to adopt
for the comprising of this great object
compulsory temperance education here in
this far western state, one thing is certain
there must in some way eminate from all
the local Unions ''more light upon this
most vital question, as it seems to us is
together with that of prohibition the two
questions of the day and hour.
Mrs. Leavitt whose pleasant face, heart
felt interest, and loving kindly suggestions,
helped to make our convention the success
it was, is doing grand work on this coast.
She has done much to strengthen the faith
of the workers of the W. c. T. U.
One gentleman remarked to me that never
had he fully realized the force, influence
and character of the W. c. T. o., until he
happened to drop in to the half hour of de-
Such prayers, he said, he never heard be-
fore. and he went away feeling that God
indeed was with US all.
Mrs. Leavitt's address the last night,
"Christianity in Government, was mastery
and heard with breathless attention.
The convention was held in the church
recently finished and was decorated with
mottos and beautifully arranged flowers;
The plans of work and declaration of prin-
ciples will be in the next issue of this paper.
We have no time for any further report
to-day.

AN ADDRESS.

The following address was delivered on
decoration day at Newport by our former
townsman, j. R. Baldwin:
officers and Members Of George Washington
Post oftAe Grand Army Of tie Republic:
You are met to-day to celebrate in ap-
propriate form your annual holiday, which
is and ever must be, a sad one. As an or
der of brotherhood, your conception and
origin sprang from the fraternal love and
fellowship born of active campaign service
among our marines and soldiers during our
late rebellion. The blood purchased prin-
appreciative people, were alike revered by
north and south, by east and west. But as
time wore on and progressive generations
multiplied, developing the hidden resources
of our great country beyond the compre-
hension of imagination's highest flight, the
foundations of our primitive nation, though
deeply laid with solemn care by profound
minds, were yet far too small to meet the
wants and needs of advancing man; and
defective flaws, mere spechs at first, grew
wide apace from year to year, till in 1861
the crisis came, and long smothered dis
cord and forbearing jealousies between con-
tending factions could be no more sup
pressed. Hidra-headed treason reared its
brszen crest, and the fierce internal strife,
like fever, raging worse because delayed,
precipitated the five years war which
marks our governments historic page with
red emphasizing underlines, the memory Of
which is alas too fresh in the minds of old
and young.
It is no fit time or place nor am l now
inclined to dilate on the causes leading tc
that struggle, the cost OF which no one
foresaw nor even yet can realize. Statistics
show the nations debt in bonds and gold
and archives prove the loss of life; but nc
finite mind can comprehend the wasted
strength of society and morals.
Relaxing sinews long o'er.strained
brought supplying lethargy. Chaotic de.
bris clogged the wheels of progress in the
South, and for time the Kuklux raged-a
vandal band of lawless men, in whom the
olive branch of peace reused deamons worse
than treason claims; who, knowing no law
but thirst for crime, spread death and
terror through the land. Dissipation,
vicious vagabondage, and the multiplying
crimes of tramps to-day, are but small
fruits of that foul germ. Congested veins
of commerce, and withered scenes of pas
toral life were part results; and rampant
speculation rose phenix-like from pas
turmoil sapping healthy life from well es-
tablished business habits and steady occu-
patton.
When the five years struggle closed and
the mighty hosts were mustered out, to re
turn again to hearths and homes and renew
the tolls they left at country's call, ant
gladden. the hearts of loved ones there, by
reuniting family ties, the nations wound:
began to heal and peace and plenty reigr
again where desolation born of war haC
long prevailed. Then, as step by step adj
eancIng time developed the accumu1ating
costs of the principles contended for ant

refused to apologize, and the pair then
mutually agreed then and there to go

both went out alone, about two hun

to settle the matter in Ryan-Sullivan

up their sleeves, and after shaking
hands proceeded to pummel each other.
Two rounds were fought, when they
clinched. Lever threw Noroross to the
