THE CORONER's DUTY.

would say in regard to Mr.. Croisan
trying "long and hard" to wire me,
that because he could not call me
within a few hours time, that was
no excuse in any sense of the word
for taking the case in his own hands
or putting it in any one elses hands
The telegraph office is open here
every day in the week and part OF
the night, and even though the sher-
ifF could not have wired me on sun
day, Monday would have done just
as well, or any other day within
two or three days time. The coro-
ner has authority to set the date OF
the inquest. He must put himself
under the disqualifying conditions
of the statute or else he is the cOTo-
and no one else can assume to APP
point a coroner or act as coroner. l

that if 1 have not stated the facts,
that we may hear from those who

Revival Meetings.

The revival meetings inaugur-
ated by Mrs. Emma Malloy at the
M. e. church last evening will be
continued throughout the week and
prehaps longer. These meetings
open with an unusual interest. The
church was literally packed-almOst
equal to any night of Mr.. Moody's
meerings-notwithstanding the fact
that other meetings were being held
in all the churches Of the city. Mrs.
Malloy is a wonderful woman. Her
logic, her eloquence and her earnest
ness equal anything heretofore heard
by a Salem congregation. Quite a
number arose and went forward for
prayers, and several professed their
convictions of a release from sin.Ihe
pastor, Mr.. Rollins, promises to be
prepared with additional chair this
evening-equal, prehaps, for all who
may desire to attend-and will be
pleased to see every seat occupied.

THE FARMERS CONGRESS-.
It Will Meet in the Capital City on
MOnda y, January l4th.

The next session of the Oregon
Farmers Congress, which was or
ganized in Salem during the meet
ing of the state fair, will he held in
Salem on Monday next. This as
sociation was organized to become a
branch or part of the National
Farmers Congress and has per-
fected it's organization, which was
commenced last June, by electtng
officers, adopting a constitution and
issuing an address to the farmers OF
the state.
The officers are: President, M.
Wilkins of Lane county; secretary,
Joseph CASTOR of Multnomah county.
The executive committee of five,
whose duties are to prepare ad-
dresses, is as follows: John P. Rob
inson, Marion county; A. w. Lucas,
Polk county; ]. w. Shute, Wash
ington county; w. r. Kirk, Linn
county, James Bruce, Benton county.
This congress was organized be-
cause, after careful consideration, it
was the sense of the committee that
there is sentiment among the
farmers desiring an open Organiza-
ton to consider and discuss ques-
tions affecting their interests and
prosperity; and because a very large
number of the agricultural and pro-
ducing classes feel and believe that
there are serious evils expressing
their interest, and that in order to
act understandingly and take such
action as will abolish these grievan-
ces, an open organization for dis
cussion and investigation is not
only desirable but necessary. The
committee was unanimous that no
organization should be attempted
which might be thought to be a
rival or opposing organization OF
the Grange, but rather one which
should be supplementary to and
friendly with that organization, SO
that the two might cooperate and
work in harmony to achieve one
end-the greatest good for that
great class of toilers on which all
other classes and interests depend.
The object and aim of the organi-
zation is pretty clearly stated in
article I. of the Constitution, which
is as follows:
This association shall be called
the Oregon Branch of the Farmers
Congress, and its object, the organi-
zation of the farmers of Oregon for
the purpose of investigating and
discussing openly and irrespective
of party, those questions which af-
feet the interests of agriculture and
labor, such as taxation, transporta-
ton, trusts and the currency; and
combining and concentrating the
power and influence of the agricul-
turaI classes by petition, ballot or
otherwise, so as to carry into the
laws of the land, the wishes or de-
cisions of this association on any
public question.

A ReyivaIIst Coming,

Major George A. Hilton telegraphs
that he will be in Salem on January
tenth. He will remain until Mon
day and his first address will be on
Thursday night, probably at the
opera house, unless that should be
otherwise occupied. Major Hilton
is fine orator, something after the
manner of Messrs. Hughes and
Ward. It's hoped he will do much
good in Salem. The advocates OF
moral suasion in temperance can
find no fault with his methods.
