The Atlanta Constitution pertinently
asks: "If the democratic tariff pledge
is to be carried out, why is the ways

"WhyW-Eveniaag Telegram. Yes, by
all means, obllterate, annlhilate, wipe
out of existence the 'robher" tariff.
"Cry havoc and let loose the dogs of
war" on this monum snt of Republican
oppression and dreadful despotism.
But, Mr.. Atlanta Constitution and
Mr.. Portland Telegram, be seated,
gentleman, and listen. Mr. John
Dymond, of Louisiana, has appeared
before the committee on ways and
means against repeal of the sugar
bounty law; also number of gentle
men from Virginia, Maryland and the
Democratic governor of West Virginia
have asked this committee to retain
the duties on coal. There was south
ern gentleman from Louisiana who
urged no reduction in the duties on
rice. If our contemporaries will exer-
else little patience and keep their
thunder bottled up in their sanctums

torial columns, they will hear from
more Democratic southern states in
reference to the Republican "robber"

an era in which democratic simplicity
and political purity ruled in the coun-
ellis of the republic 1t is of great sig
ni6cance. Washington was then little
more than village, now 1T is a thriv-
ing city of more than hundred thou

ment was untried in many ways, but
since that date it has passed through
fiery ordeals unscathed; a few millions
of people were then scattered through
the country east of the Alleghanies;
but one hundred years has extended
the empire from the Pacific to the At
lantic, and from the Gulf of Mexico
to the great lakes, and increased the
population to 65.00O,00O. There has
been wonderful progress in scientific
investigation, in the useful arts and
mechanical inventions; but very many
long for the good old days of purity,
simplicity and honesty of the govern
ment of our grandfathers.

WALLA WALLA, Sept. 18-The Oregon
Railway 6 Navigation Company and the
oregon Short Line & Utah Northern
Rrilway Company have filed with the
deputy clerk Of the United States district
court petition in the matter of limita-
tion of liability for damage done by the
explosion OF the steamer Annie Fdsos, at
Wade's Landing, on Snake river, August
IA. whereby several lives were lost, and q
number of persons injured. The petition
sets forth that the heirs and legal repre-
sentatives of the persons killed and in
jured have threatened TO commence suits
against the companies and have filed
claims for damages greatly in excess of
the value OF the steamer. The petitioners
pray TOR an appraisment and ask the
court to issue monition against the
persons claiming damages, citing them
to appear in court, the petitioners to be at
liberty to contest the liability for all
losses or damages incurred as result OF
the explosion, independently of the limi-
tation of the liabili clsimed; also for
the court to make an order restraining all
persons from prosecuting suits against
the petitioners, except before the coin-
missioner.

This is good, business sense from an
exchange: "If Grant county only had
a large crop of hops and little less
of something else, a wonderful change
in money matters would be expert
enced." The same may be said of
Wasco and contiguous counties. There
is too much land in Eastern Oregon
devoted to the growth of wheat, and
as a result hard times have been ex-
perienced where it might have been
other wise. 1t must be admitted that
grain is a staple product, and that
breadstuffs are always saleable in the
markets of the world; but India.
Egypt and Russia are competitors
with the United States, and an abund-
ant harvest in the former countries
may lower the price of the product in
the latter. Hops are more certain,
and the net profit per acre is much
better. Our producers should inaug-
urate diversified farming, and not be
confined to one crop. This will help
the soil, and will be in keeping with
the fuctuation of values.

RELIGIONS.

The proceedings of the worlds con-
gress of religions, now being held In
Chicago, furnish very interesting read
ing matter. After one becomes sope-
what acquainted with the theology of
the far east there is not so much ab-
surdity in the doctrines as is generally
supposed. Buddhism teaches many
sublime truths, and even Con6cianism
will repay careful investigation. The
west may justly feel proud of its ad-
vancement in civilization, and of the
elevating influence of Christianity;
but it does not follow that the remain
ing races of mankind are enveloped
in dense ignorance and superstition.
Asia has produced the founders of all
religions, and nearly every art and
science came from the same fruitful
soil. The temperate climate of the
north has had a beneficial effect in
ridding the former of much of their
mysticism and in embelllshing and en-
rlching the latter by careful expert
ments and the study of a.tute minds.
Ali conditions in the east are subser-
Went to ease and repose, while in the
west they are productive OF energy
and perseverance. These have had
their effects upon the lines of relig-
ious thought, aud, while the Asiatic
may be satisfied with the Koran as it
came from Mahomet the Anglo Saxon
desires to go further than the primer
or textbooks in religion or science.
His requirements in the realm of
knowledge he applies as means Of in
of obscure truths, and his
developed understanding has clearer
and more rational views of myths and
symbols. In this four hundre dth year
OF the great western republic, this
meeting of the expounders of the re-
ligions of different races is very be6t-1
ting, and can but produce degree of
harmony among all portions of the
globe. To better the condition of the
human race is the one object of all re-
Iigious teaching, and while the manner
Of accomplishing this may be different,
each should receive credit for honesty
Of purpose. 1t is not expected that
America will change Christianity for
but the minister of the
gospel can wish God speed to the Hin
doc or the Moslem.
