The Fight is On.

The Fight is On.
There is not jar, not a discord
within our ranks from one end of the
country to the other. Unity of purpose
now characterizes the movement from
the lakes to the gulf. and from the Po-
tOmac to the Golden Gate. Now, breth-
rem, let there be no more hating. The
fight is on-the battle of the people
against the plutocracy. There are now
but two parties the money power, in
whose behalf are arrayed all the mOnop-
Olies, benefciaries of class laws, corpor-
ations and plutocrats in the land: and
or the other the plain, resolute, long
suffering people. Thank heaven, sec
tional hatred is thing of the past The
era of fraternity and brotherhood has
at last been ushered in, and it has been
ushered in to stay. There is no longer
any room for laggards or for the faint
hearted. The watchword is now: Cup
and at them all along the line"
1--WE are living in an era of anxious
thought and solicitude. Not day
passes but men with serious, honest
sunburnt faces ask us this question,
What are the farmers of the south go
ing to do-are they with us? Will they
join hands with the west in the great
work of rescuing this country? These
and kindred inquiries are constantly
heard among our tOilers, and they are
uppermost at every meeting among in
dustrial people, To these anxious and
earnest friends we say, dismiss your
fears. The industrial forces of the
south, the members of the farmers ALI
ance and industrial union are with YOU
TO man. Their hearts beat in unison
with yours. and they are as true to the
grand cause in which you are engaged
as the needle to the pole. The grand
confederation of labor now includes the
toilers of every section and of every
state and territory and they are unit
for the st. Louis. Ocala and Omaha de-
mands as reenunciated at Cincinnati.
Both sections will stand like pillars of
granite against all who assail them, and
against all who seek to engender Sec
tional distrust, and against all who seek
to thrust upon this country despotic
force bills and kindred infants. The
hope of the plutocract lies in keeping
the sections apart-in dividing the great
army of industrial emancipation. But
they will be mistaken. Mississippi and
Georgia will vie with Kansas and Ne
braska, North Carolina and Texas with
Iowa and Minnesota, in lifting the whole
country upon plane of fraternity and
progress which the petty bloody shirt
fingers have never dreamed of and
which they will not even be able to
enjoy unless speedily regenerated.
I'VE say to the brethren in the north,
contide implicitly in your brethren in
the south. They will suffer martydom
before they will forsake you. And so
we say to the brethren in the south, the
great west is with you in love, frater-
nifty and purpose. The storm center is
rapidly moving eastward, and the mid
die states will be with us when the bugle
calls to battle.-Iowa Tribune.

Sex or Service.

Is it sex or service that the board
of education think is paid for in the
schools? If service, why pay to one sex
one-third more than to the other for
the same class of work? If three as
sistant principals are appointed stimuli
taneously to perform identical duties,
why pay one of the three only two
thirds as much as each of the other two?
II not qualified for the duties implied,
why appoint at all? If qualified, why
discriminate in pay?-Chicago Herald.

40 RSETHIEvES TAKEN.
Two Men With the Team and Rig
Stolen at Cresswell-Captured
at Salem.

Two men, giving their names as
Charles Henry aud f. s. Phillips
were arrested Saturday evening at
six by Deputy Sheriff Vain, at
Becky Mountain restaurant.
They were believed to be the men
who stole a hack and span of mares
on the night of October 27tn from
the pastures of Daniel Stanton, at
Cresswell, as already described in
THE JOURNAL.
They came into Salem on the Tur-
ner road at five o'clock, and stopped
at one of the livery stables, offering
two saddles for sale. This created
some suspicion, aud as the whole
rig corresponded to the one describ-
ed at the sheriff's Office, they were
soon identified and the men placed
under arrest at the county Jail.
ANOTHER TEAM
was found Sunday afternoon, where
the men were camped before coming
to Salem. The team was in an out-of-
the-way place east of the Rural
cemetery. The second team was n
gray and bay, have a new set of
buggy harness and an old platform
spring hack. The sheriff believes
this to be also stolen team. 1t had
all the appearance of being stolen.
The thieves are evidently profess
ionals, and travelled at night and
hid in the daytime.
SHERIFF wALN
came to Salem and got the men yes.

him to Eugene with them. The
men refused to talk to the officers or

TEAM DRoWNED.-Sunday at 12:-
30, team belonging to Sam Bran
son was drowned in the mill race
just above the waterworks, The
circumstances were something like
these: J. II. Penland, a delivery
clerk for John. G. Wright, hitched
the team up to try them. If suited
he was to take them home and
keep and work them for their feed
over winter. Miles Howard, STEP
son of the owner, went with Mr.
Penland and together they drove
the team down to the race, a very
common watering place. Howard
unchecked the horses before they
drove in and then the accident hap
pened. The off horse did not drink,
The near horse drank little, reared
up and kicked, the dryer tried To
gather up the linesi but the horses
were already swimming, and there
was two feet of water in the hack.
The horses struck straight across,
and became entangled in one of the
bents ofthe cable shed. Mr. Penland
jumped into the water and with his
knife cut two tugs and unlocked
one, when he was kicked double
and barely escaped with his life.
Howard jumped out at the start
and got ashore badly wet, The
team then drowned. The team is
worth about 500.

H0N0RING THE DEAD.
Tributes Are Being Generally Paid to
the Public Spirit and Enterprise
of Mr.. Wallace.

ASS public society the Alka-Hes-
perian literary society was the first
body publicly to adopt a resolution
of respect to the memory of the late
R. s. Wallace, as a public spirited
citizen.
AT THE BAPTIST CHURCH.
Rev. Whitaker spoke Sunday
morning on the untimely death
of Mr.. Wallace. His relationship
to President Harper of the North
western university was referred to
as a topic of conversation between
the speaker and Mr.. Wallace Friday
at the waterworks. The sermon
was not u funeral discourse nor a
euiogy of the departed, yet it was
delicate tribute to that gentleman's
character. "Tnere is but step be-
tween me and DEATH" We're the
words of his text. There were
hours In every life when this was
literally true, and when we stood as
it were vn the margin of the unseen
and know not bat the next throb of
the heart may carry us over. To
think of that one with whom we
walked and talked but a few days
ago and to reflect that he had taken
that step into the other life beyond,
was to wildly realize how narrow is
the isthmus between this world and
the unknown future. We are yet
standing at the borderland of learn
ing. These are the words of the
wlsest Of all men of all ages, and
will be exclaimed by the wisest of
mankind till the last day of the
race has come. Death, to the right
eous even, was the king Of terrors at
a distance, but nearer it became to
the dying soul that put its trust in
God the face of a beneficent angel.
A strange ministry of Providence
had fallen upon our community to
warn us to live better prepared to
take the last step.
ARTS ANS AND LABORERS.
A public meeting was called at
the fife of Architect McNally
Sunday at 10 a, M. to properly rec
ogniz, the loss of one of Salem's
greatest employers of labor.
CHANGE IN FUNERAL.
AT the request of some persons the
place of funeral services has been
changed from the First Presbyterian
the First Methodist Episco-
pal church, where it was held at 2:30
p. M. Rev. DR.. Gwynne, pastor of the
conducting the service.
Nearly all the other pastors in the
city were present and assisted in the
sad rites.
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Mr.. Wallace was always friend
of the Salem fire companies and the
" uOlS uopdi JiucIb WAS OIuCIci W
urn out in full dress and escort the
remains to their last resting place.
The companies met at Tiger Engine
louse at 1:30 p. m, for this purpose
AT THE BRIDGE.
ieavy mourning decorations have
,een placed by the enterprise of G.
B. Brown and other OF Salem busi-
less men. The effect was grand and
ost about $50. 1t was a fitting re-
ognition of Mr.. Wallace's exertions
o have the free bridge rebuilt after
t was carried away by the flood.
The funeral procession from the
arm home of the deceased came
yer the bridge and was the longest
ne ever seen in Salem. 1t wac
oined by as many more in the city
nd the church was crowded to its
tlermost to pay funeral honOrs to {
his nublic sDirited man.
