MENNONITES OF RUSSIA.
The Hsrdships OF Christian Sect Under
the Cars Government.

The mennonites OF Russia as well as
the Hebrews, are complaining OF the
seventies of the cars government,
and, but for the obstacles to their emil
grafton. the whole body of them would
! probably come to this country. They
are christian sect over three centu-
rles old, and hold "a baptismal doctrine
not recognized by the orthodox Greek
church, into which the government has
tried to drive them.
The Russian mennonites who num-
Der only about 60, 900, took up their
habitation in southern Russia. near the
Sea OF Azov, about century ago. ex-
plains the New York Sun. having then
left Russia on account Of the hard
ships to which they were subjected.
They are u peaceful, intelligent, virtu-
Gus and industrious people and they
have enjoyed rare prosperity in that
region.
The main trouble OF the government
with them grows out OF their religious
principle OF non-rcsistance and their
refusal to render military service, For
along period OF time they were exempt
from service by the decrees OF tho
czars, but this privilege was Withdrawn
twenty years ago. They then obtained
permission to leave Russia within
specified time
In 1873 they began 10 take advan-
tage OF it, and several thousand of
them found refuge in this country.
The first colonies went as farmers TO
Kansas and Minnesota. where they
purchased land and got along finely.
The car, seeing their determination,
modified his decree Of CONSUMPTION and
gave orders that in time OF war, they
should be required only to render SER
vice in the military hospitals. The
granting of this privilege and the ex-
piration Of the period during which
they were allowed to emigrate stopped
the mennonite movement to America. !

THE STATES PICNIC A GOI
A Coed Meeting Held and the Ball sot
ROlling-the 0regonians Will
Participate.

In response to the call about
twenty-five citizens, representing
Oregon, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas
pennsylvania, California, Missouri
Illinois and New York, met at the
council chambers on Saturday
evening to take steps for holding n
grand Fourth of July picnic at
Salem. Mayor Darcy was called
to the chair and A. f. Hofer, Jr.
was chosen secretary. The project
was heartily concurred in by all
present, and after free discussion
OF the subject, about the following
plan was promulgated:
That a grand basket picnic be
held ut the fair grounds or some
other desirable place on July fourth.
That a feature of the occasion be
made the grouping of those present
by their respective states, and have
each state in the Union represented
If possible. That each state have its
headquarters where all its former
residents shall register. After this
is done all can join in any such ex-
ercises or amusements as may be
thonght best and proper.
This project is believed to have
much merit and many advantages
for our people. In the first place it
will give all new comers an oppOr-
tunity to have a reunion with old
frien ds, and to form many pleasant
new acquaintances. 1t will also
enable the old residents to become
better acquainted with the newer
population, all of which must prove
a benefit to everyone participating.
Ia addition to this it is suggested
that the pioneers and native sons Of
Oregon come together from all parts
of the county and if possible form
some permanent organization. This
would result in good for all time tC
come.
A motion was made to appoint a
committee of general arrangements,
whereupon the chair appointed the
following: A. f. Hofer, Jr., F. j.
Strayer, r, H. Barnes, N. G. Sroat,
w. H. Downing, Prof. u. NJ. Parvin
and II. M. Branson. This committee
is to hold a meeting during the
week, and report at a public meet
ing at the council chamber next
Saturday evening, to which all citi
zeus, including the ladies are urgent.
