Much wonder has been expressed
by many people at the report OF
Capt. Y. w. Symons, regarding
Yaquina Bay and its further i'm
provement. That Mr.. Symons is
hostile to the Bay is only too plain
ly shown in his report, but MANY
of our exchanges seem at a loss to
account for his sudden change of
mind regarding the matter. There
is nothing peculiar or mysterious
about it. 1t will be remembered
that for a great many years it was
thought by many people that the
railroad would never sell and would
eventually cease to operate. Acting
under this belief the interests that
no doubt influenced the adverse re-
port had no fear of any commerce
coming to a deep harbor at va
quina. But now a change comes
over the spirit of their dreams.
The road has been sold and there
are many good evidences that it
will be extended to a transconti-
mental connection. Consequently
the same interests spoken of above
now seeks to prevent the further
improve ment of the harbor here
1t is vital to those interests that
no deep water harbor for transcon-
tinental line be built up on this
coast. The railroad must fight for
all the further improvements made
at this place, and the interests it
must fight are not SO very remotely
allied to the Southern Pacific rail-
way.

Senator Dawson's bill to fix the
time when taxes shall become de-
linquent provides that the sheriff
shall make returns of collections to
the county court on or before the
first Monday of October next ensu-
ing the date of warrant issued by
that court, and if at least one-half
OF the respective sums of taxes so
charged on said roll is not paid
prior to the first Monday in April
next succeeding the date of his
warrant, said one-half shall be
deemed delinquent, and if the re-
naming half is not paid prior to
the first Monday in October follow
ing, it shall then also be deemed
delinquent, and there Shall be
charged, collected and turned over
by the sheriff forfeiture of one per
cent. per month on all portions of
said taxes that have been allowed
to become delinquent, from the date
of such delinquency until the same
are paid; and, provided, further,
that the sheriff, before entering on
the duties of collection of taxes,
shall execute an addition bond in
such sum as the county court of the
county may direct. That is, taxes
may be paid in two half-yearly in
stallments.

Getting Harmed Up.

Judge W. S. Hufford, of Benton
county, has been down at Salem
working in the interests of Senator
Dolph's reelection. The Corvallis
Gazette rebels and goes after his
scalp lock in this manner:
"Mr. Hufford was elected as a
judge, not a legislator. Our repre-
sentatiyes do not need his personal
assistance. He is a remarkably
ambitious man, with some native
shrewdness. But it is lamentable
display of bad taste for one in his
official position to make such a
public profession of his zeal for a
senatorial candidate towards whom
the people, who elected him, have
widely diverging opinions, to say
the least. This is not a clever way
to secure advancementS on the
bench. Mr.. Huford, before the
election, announced himself in
favor of reducing the salary of the
county judge to six hundred dollars.
Since then there has been a careful
and studious silence on his part
upon that subject. The people de-
mand that their representatives take
action IN the matter.
The Gazette has nothing against
Mr.. Huford personally. 1t is Ire
publican paper, and as such, assist
ed in the election Of Mr.. Hufford,
who was on the republican ticket
last spring. But he is public Of
fetal and his official acts are subject
to public criticism. He has no
right to attempt to influence the
legislators by means of the power
which his judicial position might
give him. 4 public office should
not be public SNAP"

OUR WINTER AVIARY.
BY REV. ]. W. HANSON, D. D.

A Chicago soiourner in our Better
Italy" Andrew McNally, Esq, has
erected on his grounds in Altadena an
immense mansion of wire, in which are
housed many birds, native and foreign. 1t
is delight to visit this aviary, as all who
desire are welcome to do, and to consider
the variety of plumage and vocal melody
that fill it. Returning one day from Wis
iting this spacious cage, / found my
self wishing for something like it, in
which might study the pretty ways of
Natures feathered troubadours, when
it occurred to me that l was already in
possession of an aviary of my own and
had been communicating with its in
mates all winter. For it is one of the
delights that the ornithologist and the
bird-lover-as who is not?- may enjoy
anywhere in this favored realm, to study
at all seasons the ways of the birds which
are more numerous than l have ever
seen elsewhere.

learned to flee from the wintry blasts
of the North and East, and seek asylum
from wintry winds and snow. here. where

REASON AND ZEAL.
BY REV. THOMAS ABBOTT.

Both reason and zeal, when fulfill.
ing their own offices, are useful in the
various affairs of human life. But
reason should have the directing con-
troll, while. zeal gives incentive to the
given purpose. Yet, on the subject
of religion there is more misdirected
and over wrought zeal than on any
other department of action claiming
the attention of man.
Many persons of, at least, ordinary
intelligence on the current events of
the world, yet make but limited use
of their reasoning faculties on the
subject of religion, especially when
seriously concerned on the final des-
tiny of their souls. A man of such
cast of mind will zealously insist that
he knows he has soul that will live
again, after the death of his body,
either in world of happiness or tor
ment. Yet ask him for a reason in
support of his positive conclusion and
his answer will be, perhaps, by an ex-
preston of surprise at such a de-
mand on an issue that all religious
persons as by common consent hold
as having long since been determined.
Furthermore, he feels equally con-
fident that the moral state of his soul
at ieath will unchangeably fix it's
destiny either for good or for evil.
If he die in religious state of mind
the endless salvation of his soul is
thereby assured; but if he die in sim
full state his soul is doomed to unend
ing torment.
To avert this doom, if he feel con-
demned because of his sins, he must
mourn for time in fearful agony in
view If the impending ruin, till he
thereby secures dispensation from
heaven to the interest that all penalty
due To his guilt is absolutely par
doned. Then he is instantly trans
lated into holy ecstasy known to
such, only, as pass through an ex-
perience of just such an imperative
nature as his own. And he then feels
that he is as much more Godlike than
his fellow beings, as he was more de-
PRAYED than they before. And he
seems almost to derive kind of sat
isfa' tion from the reflection that a

THE DEATH of two men so justly en-
inent as Sir Henry Kawlinson and Prof.
Stuart Blackie, while it moves regret,
suggests how rich our mother country is
in distinguished scholars. Rawlinson
was not University man, but his SER
vice to science and to letters was such
as every learned body in Europe recog-
nized and honored Prof. Blackie was
the typical university man,-soaked in
it's learning and stepped in it's traditions
But as Sir Henry brought back his
treasures of study and research to en-
rich the great seats of learning and even
to create new chairs in them, so Prof.
Blackie carried his wit and wisdom and
his large human interest beyond 'aca-
demic precincts into the heart OF the
world. 1t is noble race and splendid
civilization that produces such men.
When the citizens of Albany, "irre-
spective of party" elected mayor on
the issue of municipal reform, they found
and the mayor found, the path blocked

was. .party first and city afterward."
Mayor Wilson took up an entrenched
positiop and offered battle to the OBJ
structionists. 1t was stubbornly con-
tested fight; but the reform Mayor won.
When the citizens OF the larger munich
pality, irrespective of party" elected
Mr.. Strong mayor, on the issue Of mu-
nicipal reform. they did not anticipate
that they would be robbed of the fruit
of their victory by clan in the Legis-
lature whose watchword also is. party
first and city afterwsrd." But it proves
to be so; and the Mayor has not, as at
Albany, any direct control Of the legis-
lative enemy. This question of reform,
men and brethren. is much more radical
than you seem to imagiue. You will find
that you cannot save good government
and party government at the same time.
Two facts point to one conclusion
that Charles Dickens retains his place
in literature. The first is the fact that
publishers find it pays to bring out new
editions of the works of Dickens. They
not only sell. but they sell largely and
the demand for them shows no signs OF
slackening. The second fact is, that at
a recent sale of memorials of Dickens
there was an unexpected manifestation
of popular interest. and every token and

great novelist brought high price.

w say, OF tndC ne uSeO the WOrOS, on
the most pivotal points, that should
have liked to put into his mouth, but
the effort was uplifting, stimulating
unmistakably in sympathy with the
central idea of Universalism.
In regard to the statement that
Christ had no creed, that he never
anywhere in any instance executed a
formula of belief, / am less positive
than DIR. Newton was. This question
has perhaps two sides and will bear
discussion. | think that some relia-
BILE Universalists have made declara-
tions on this subject similar to Dr.
Newton's. If 1 remember correctly,
Starr King in an elaborate article cnce
argued in that way. If DIR. Sawyer,
or DIR. Miner, were sitting by my side
at this moment, l should be greatly
interested in asking where our Lord
made clear, full statement of his
belief in the innate goodness of hui
man nature, or in Immortality, or
in the final holiness and happiness
of all mankind. I have been asked
and | have asked myself this ques-
ton many times. I have replied that
these doctrines, if not explicitly set
forth in so many words, by the Saw
iour,are plainly inferred, logically de-
Quoted from what he said. Except
ye be converted" he said, "and be-
come as little children, ye shall not
enter the kingdom of heaven" This
shows clearly enough what his creed
was regarding little children-that
he believed them to be pure and in
nocent. Jesus said, "Love your en-
emies-that ye may be the children
of your Father which is in heaven"
What else can we make of this than
that God loves his enemies? And
if God loves his enemies it inev-
itably follows tn It he not only will
not permit them to suffer endlessly,
but he will secure for them eternal
happiness. The words, then, "Love
your enemies" reveal the creed of
Christ regarding the the final destiny
of man, his belief in the final holi-
ness and happiness of all souls. We
might extend these illustrations.
DR.. Newton is possibly right in as
serting that Christ did not formulate,
as we use the term, system of the
ology, but it can hardly be true that
he had no creed. To have no creed
is to have no thought on religion;
no belief.
To have a creed is one thing, to
force it upon others, to make it
test of ones character, of ones fit
ness for heaven, is quite another
thing. | do not see how we can dis
pense with creeds, but I think can
see how we might, if we would, dis
pense with bigotry and uncharitable-
ness.

REV. HEBER NEWTON, DID,, (EPIs-
O0PAL), OF NEW YORK CITY.
BY REV. ]. H. FUTILE, D. D.

On Sunday, March 18th, l wor-
shipped with DR.. Heber Newton's con-
gregation, Protestant Episcopal, cor
ner of Fourth avenue and Sixty sixth
street, New York. Fifty years of
confinement to my own pulpit, my
own voice and my own ways of con-
Quoting religious services, must have
left me with somewhat narrow views
in such matters. 1t has atleast helped
to give novelty, pleasure, and profit
perhaps, to the opportunity ! occa-
sionally have of attending other
churches, even those outside of our
denomination.
Rev. DIR. Newton achieved consid-
erable notoriety decade and more
ago by what was generally deemed
very radical utterances and by plac-
ing his orthodoxy under grave sus-
picions. The air hereabouts was
thick with heresy-rumors concerning
him, and many thought they saw
threatening sword impending over
his denominational relations. The
opposition, however, though it kept
up a lively agitation for a time
stopped short of expulsion. His
congregations increased, his sayings
flew abroad, his fame grew and he
appeared to gain as many friends
outside as he lost inside of the pale
of the Episcopal Church. And yet
it was questionable in many minds
whether the capricious public which,
alert always for sensation, ready to
applaud or condemn, without much
discrimination, every new actor upon
the stage, and as ready to ring down
the curtain and impatiently demand
the coming forth of some new favo
rite, would be willing, for any length
of time, to maintain the popularity
that had been thrust upon the afore-
said rector. The twelve years or
more, which have passed, serving as
twelve competent jurors on his case,
seem to have brought in verdict in
his favor, verdict which has at least
acquitted him of having ventured to
such extremes of thought as to Sc
cure the only alternative of ruin or
retreat. Judging from what / saw
and heard last Sunday / conclude
that his influence has not perceptibly
ebbed. The house, not large one,
was completely filled with very sub
stantial looking people. How many
were drawn there as l was, by the
topic, the "Creed of Christ" which
the newspapers announced, l do not
know. A large proportion of the
audience l noticed, however, was
seated by the ushers. The singing,
by a large chorus-choir dressed in
white, was good. The service was
throughout impressive. The sermon,
for an Episcopal pulpit, was unique,
and for most Episcopal pulpits i'm
possible. Such a sermon a quarter
of a century ago, if preached by
Universalist, would have suggested
heresy to his hearers.
DIR. Newton's text contained two
words only, the first two words of our
Lords Prayer-"Our Father" He
began by saying, in low voice and
slowly, "My subject this morning is
the Greed of Christ" | confess that
my ears were attentively, anxiously,
even wonderingly, open to hear what
should follow. This is the gist, not
a complete report, not the exact
words, except in few cases-of what
followed:
The speaker Immediately reminded
me by his theme and comments, of
