THE SCORE AT lao p. M.

The dawn of a new day brought fresh
surprises in the record-breaking con-

tive influence, and foreign pur-
chases of stocks and bonds, as well

ATHENA, AUGUST 25th, 1898.
NO SPECIAL SESSION.

1t is not improbable that Oregon
will have an extra session of the
legislature this fall. Governor Pen
lloyer has sent letter to the men,
bers of the legislature requesting
their opinions as to the advisability
of calling special session for the
purpose of passing law to stay
execution of judgments. He has
been actuated to take this step at
the request Of numerous farmers,
asking that they be protected from
their creditors forcing collections.
The excuses put forth for this re-
quest are that times are hard,
money cannot be had on the very
best security, and persistency on
the part of creditors would have
the effect of utterly running the
farming communities of whole
counties. Prices Of grain being low,
they do not expect to realize for
their crops much above the cost of
production. Therefore they demand
the passage of law that will dis
tinctly stay execution for one year
from the date of judgment, thus
preventing immediate forced col
lections.
1t is difficult to imagine what
step could be taken that would be
more detrimental to the debtor
class than this, or what would pre-
cipitate more litigation and come
nearer bankrupting the farmers of
Oregon than the convening of the
legislature for the purpose of pass
ing such a law. The very day the
governor would issue his proclama-
ton convening the legislature, the
extension Of credits would stop and
action would be commenced for the
collection of every account then
due. The creditor class in Oregon
is composed largely Of retail mer,
chants, whose interests are identi
cal with the farmers, but they cam
not wait a year for the settlement
of accounts now due and so soon as
they saw the possibility of their
being forced to do, they would begin
forcing collections by suit and at
tachment before the law could be
enacted. In view of the acts of the
regular session, it is difficult to con-
lecture what reply the governor
may receive from the members.
Yet, regardless of what they may
suggest, he ought to have enough
good sense not to hazard an expert
ment that would bankrupt half the
population of the state. Review.

THE ANARCHISTS.

The conditions of the times are
calculated to develop the spirit of
anarchy, SO that it is not surpris-
ing that the disciples of Emma
Goldman are marching through the
streets of Eastern cities with the
black flag raised in token of their
destructive purposes. This rabble.
however, must not be confounded
with the real workingmen of Amer
lea, the members of the various
labor organizations, who are actua-
ted by higher sense of patriotism
and who propose to attain their OBJ
jects by strictly lawful methods,
Anarchy is a plant of exotic
growth. 1t has been transplanted
here from foreign soil, yet we are
forced to the painful admission that
1t finds more favorable conditions
for expansion here than in some of
the countries from which it came.
The expansive conditions are not
SO much in the freedom of our in
stitutions as the expressions which
prevail. The organization of capi-
tai and corporate power for the sub

in perpetual attitude Of frown-

America is now keeping pace with
anarchism in European countries.
There is not much danger that
American workingmen will be Sc
duced into affiliation with the
Emma Goldman rabble. The in
telligence, patriotism and conser-
vatism of our working classes is
equal to that of any other class,
Labor has made a noble fight in its
own behalf, and the battle is now
half won. No really intelligent
man now disputes the claim of
labor. The stage of ridicule is hap
PLY past, and the era of reason has
taken its place. By organization
and firm adherence to just princi-
pies the workingmen of America
have placed themselves in position
to hold their own and to compete
on something like fair grounds with
their adversaries. 1t is not pro-
bable that they will now yield the
vantage ground gained after hard
struggle to go off after herd Of
anarchists in their career of de-
struction. To dignity the cause of
labor and to uphold it by lawful
methods should be the prime aim
of every workingman.

The epidemic of African lust that
has lately taken such hideous fea-
lures must give pause 10 the hopes
of thoughtful negroes who have set
their hearts upon the speedy and
universal exultation of the race.
The atavism of ancient bestality-
which in greater or less degree was
a quality of all races in their primi-
tive stages-seems to have sudden
ly developed in a few herculean
sons of Ham a fendish carnality
for Caucasian beauty. Sexual vir-
tue is the proudest accomplishment
of civilization. Its deliberate or
seductive abandonment provokes
contempt or sorrow, but q single
step of violent aggression against
its sanctity inspires the savage re-
sentiment of every manly human
being, and when british passion
storms the citadel of chastity no
mortal power has as yet been able
to stay the hand of vengeance. De-
liberation only waits upon identi-
fication, and then with the cer-
tainty Of time metes out such pun
ishment as seems most horrible to
the executioners. The motive is
well and yet the means is not well.
1t is well that the most appalling
crime be speedily punished for the
sake of the assurance to Others who
may be likewise tempted, but it is
not we'll that the chivalry of man
be excited to unlawful acts. Soc
iety suffers whenever the due pro-
cess of law is interrupted.
