REV. DR.. CAVE TALKS AGAIN
He Claims That the South is Being Badly
Treated.
Motives of the Confederate Soldiers
He Says, Have Been Much
Misrcpresented.

ST. LOUIS, NO.. September 14-At a
meeting of the ex-Confederate Historical
and Benevolent Association last night Rev.
DR.. r. c. Cave of this city was invited to
speak. He made an address on the south
ern question, of which the following is a
part:
I'VE have held our peace for thirty years,
while the northern people have represented
us as an ignorant horde of rebels and trait
ors, battling only to hold human beings in
the hands of slavery.
If ii is true that the confederates were
traitors and fought only for slavery, the
best thing that We can do is not to build
monuments, but to tear those down that
n era- l. neslec' thu graves of the south
ern dead until the beating rain smooths
the little mound to the level of the plain.
mantei or green, and with IL the shame OF
the southland. But IL the men who follow
ed Lee, jackson and Missouris Price were
not rebels and traitors, but true-hearted
patriots. battling for their homes and ma
tive land, We owe it to them and to our
selves TO boldly affirm and to fearlessly as
sert.
The time has come when our feelings
and convictions must be crystalized into a
form that shall be thundered down'to fu-
ture generations. 1t Is said that war Is
over. let IL rest in peace; that IL is a dead
issue, but that is sheer nonsense.
The civil war q political issue is dead,
but as truth of history il can never die.
AS a political issue used to create sectional
hatred and feeling IL ought TO be dead II
is not the south that has kept II alive as
such for thirty years.
The northern people are the ones that
have kept IL alive. They are the ones
that have appealed to the hatred of the
south that they have in their bosoms to
gain votes.
We are willing to let the war die as a po-
litical issue. but as a truth of history We
can never afford to bury It.
ITO the northern man who seeks to
frighten us into silence there can he but
one answer: Whatever the rights the south
ern people surrendered at Appomattox,
they never surrendered the right to speak
the truth, and to preserve the honor and
memory of gallant southern dead.
''ro the southern man who thinks IL
wrong to speak OF these things now. and
there are some such, I am sorry to admit,
would say: We are divinely called to
stand guard over the issues until the truth
is fully known. and the man who holds
his peace and lets his father. his brothers,
his kin, be branded as traitors in order
that he may gain by that silence is worthy
to stand side by side with Judas Iscariot-"

Military Attache mt Toxic,

Acting Secretary Uhl Of the State De-
partment, has commissioned Lieut. Michael
J. OBrien of the fifth infantry to be mill
tary attache of the United States legatio
at Toxic, Japan. This action is based upon
the recommendation of Gen. Schofield and
Is taken in order that the United States
government may accept the invitation ex-
tended by the Japanese government for
one Of its army officers to accompany the
Japanese army In it's military operations
against China. Lieut.. OBrien is an ambi-
uous ana capable young officer, and will

REASSIGNMENT OF TROOPS.
Some Sweeping Changes Expected by
Gen. SchO0eld.


One of the most important announcements
to come from the War Department this
summer probably will be made known by
Gen. Schofieid this afternoon, being the re-
assignment of troops. 1t Is expected that
some very sweeping changes will be made
both in the garrisoning of posts and the as
signment Of troops. Since the experiences
through which the army passed during the
recent railroad strikes the authorities have
had 1t in mind to station more of the troops
near the large cities and manufacturing and
mining regions than they have maintained
In the past. Moreover, this step is made
practicable by the cessation of Indian hos
tilities in the past few years. and the prog
ress OF frontier Indians toward civilization
SO that the troops are not needed through
out the west in such numbers as in the
past While the general tendency of the
change will be to bring the troops eastward
It Is thought that attention will be given to
the records OF sundry companies and Off
GERS, and that some of those who have seen
service at undesirable posts will be trans
ferred to pleasanter quarters while their
places Will be filled by troops who have
been enjoying the easy berths in the SER
vice.

RUMORS ABOUT THE MAINE,

The new battle ship Maine, which was
built by the government at cost of about
S.oOO.OOO, and recently floated at New
York. has been the subject of a good deal
of quiet discussion among naval men for
the past day or two. 1t is freely whispered
that the displacement Of the vessel is so
great that her. water lines are sunk al
ready foot below the surface. and that
when the weight of her batteries and stores
Is added she will be unable to navigate

INDIAN ARMY SCOUTS.
Their Services Win He Discontinued,
as No Longer Needed.

Gen. Schofield. who is acting Secretary Of
War, has decided to discontinue the en-
ployment of Indian scouts as part of the
military establishment. There are about
one hundred and fifty Indian scouts In the
army at present, and their discharge will
save the government about fifty thousand
dollars year. and at the. same time per-
init the enlistment of one hundred and
fifty men for regular service. The reasons
given for this action are that 1t is in the
line of retrenchment and reform inaugu-
rated by Secretary Lamont early in his ad-
ministration, and also kthat 1t is in ac-
cord with his recent order for the detach-
nlent 'oi all superfuouS men. One of the
arguments advanced VI that as there Is
no prospect of further trouble with tine
Indians In the future. the services of these
scouts will be no longer required In the
event of an Indian outbreak 1t would not
be very difficult matter to re-engage them
The discharge of the Indians Will be done
very gradually, and if 1t should turn out
that any of them are necessary to the mill
tary service, the department comma nders
will be given authority to retain them.

Reduction in wages

The o. r. & N. Co. has issued the fol-
lowing circular to its employees
''This company has been wholly un-
able to meet its operating expenses dur
ing the months preceding the recent
flood although the strictest economy has
been followed. The interruption of
traffic and the damages by the recent
flood have caused us extraordinary loss
es, and the business outlook is most de-
pressing by the reason of the general low
prices prevailing, and the general stagna-
tion of business everywhere. All these
causes make reduction of operating ex.
penses absolutely necessary, and it has
been decided to reduce wages as follows ::
son all employees drawing over 800
per month, 1913 per cent.
son all employees drawing over 500, to
and including 500 per month, 10 per
cent.
"The reduction takes effect August 13.
1t is very unpleasant to reduce wages,
but the necessity existing at the present
time must be met, and employees should
cheerfully accept their portion of the
burden resting on the company. On the
other hand. the company should and
will advance wages when improved con-
ditions permit it. ]. P. O'BRIEN,
Superintendent

Mr.. Geo. Reed has left with us some
specimens of vegetable peaches. They
are said to be versatile vegetable, tast-

of cooking. They look like cucumber
that was not on to its job, and smell
like the hired man might like them.
Judge Bellinger has made another
ruling in the whiskey- cases,
and will not let those arrested on the
charge be proceeded against by informa-
tion, but insists that they must be in
dicted before they can be tried. He
adds that the state authorities are per-
fectly able to take care of these cases.
All of which is no doubt true, but the
state officers are not anxious to saddle
expense on the different counties by tax
ing care of Uncle Sans wards. When
they are made citizens the state courts
will look out for them.

wood from half an inch to two inches.
This state of affairs should not be
allowed to exist, for not only are these
projecting nails nuisance, but they are
actually dangerous. Now let the prop
erty owners follow the example OF this
article and hit the nail on the head.

Mr.. j. P. McInerny returned from
Clatsop Saturday. He tells US Judge
Bradshaw is as happy as the proverbial
clam, has gone to the seaside for a good
time and is having it. From other
sources we learn that the Judge is the
sea lion of the beach. That when he
doffs his judicial ermine and everyday
garments, and comes out in suit
decollete at both ends, every Office holder
takes off his hat, thinking it is Grover
himself. And when with airy tread his
sylph-like form undulates down over the
golden sands to the briny deep the
patient clam exhausts his fire extin-
guisher and hunts bedrock. And when
against the heaving bosom OF the grand
Pacific he pushes his own broad breast,
the resultant tidal wave starts all the
disciples of Falb for high ground. Be-
sides, there isn't on the whole coast a
mind better stored with knowledge of
the sea-girt clam than he. From roust-
ing him out of bed with stick, to OPEN
ing his pearly mouth and preparing him
for subsequent deglutition, the judge is
an expert. He knows to the fraction of
hair how much seasoning he requires,
and to the fragment of a second how
long to cook him. He knows how to
eat him too, and in consequence has
gained something less than fifty pounds
in weight since he reached the shore.
The judge will return in about three
weeks or month, and the CLAIMS will
hold high carnival at high tide to cele-
brate his absence.

Crop Bul1etIn.

The following is the report of the
Oregon State Weather Service for the
week ending Monday, Aug. 18th, 1894 ::
Normal temperature conditions pre-
vailed during the week. The preclpita-
ton was below the normal, except in
Baker county, where some beneficial
showers occurred. The sunshine was
possibly below the average.
The yields of fall grain are very satis-
factory. At Endersby, in Wasco
county, correspondent states the crop
is the largest for years. Many large
yields are reported from the Walla
Walla valley. In some sections of
Wasco county some grain is reported as
shriveled, consequently not first-class; !;
but the berry, as a rule, is plump. The
grain crop generally is what farmers ex-
pected, and the damage by the grain
aphis is slight and confined to localities.
The barley crop is accordingly good.
Our correspondent from Heppner, Nor
row county, states that there will be an
Harvestingi is being advanced; the head
ers are running early and late. There
appears to be some kind of sickness
among the horses, from which several
died at Ella, Morrow county. Stock is
in good condition, and there is good
sale for beef cattle.
In the interior and eastern counties
the fall wheat and barley crops are be-
ing harvested and some early sown
spring grain is ripe enough to cut.
Grain ripened slowly, and as conse-
quence the berry is plump. No thresh-
ing has yet been done. A correspond
ent from Crook county states that the
harvest will be the largest in the his
tory of the county; but the grain aphis
is on all kinds of grain. Haying is well
advanced. The crop will be short in
Grant county. The crop of alfalfa will
be an average in all sections. The po-
tato crop is unusually promising. All
kinds of stock are in fine condition, and
are being sold at fair prices.
