farmer received S2e0. while for tho
melted silver the very best ne could do

OREGON Christian Church.

The origin OF this christian body IN
our city is somewhat in o5scurity, as a
house was burned many years ago and
the early records were destoyed with 1t.
Their organization dates back us FAR as
Is.Il or before that period.
This church has had preaching from
some OF the most able ministers OF that
denomination. IL would be n long list
TO enumerate them all, but suffice il to
say tha. Prof. o. G. Hill was for time
enc Of its able pastors. This church has
met with some reverseG and discourage
,nrnts. but the exercise Of our physical.
mental and moral powers have "A ten
,ency 10 strengthen them, and tins
church stands now with more elements
tti make itself felt for good than ever
before.
They have IA good Sabbath school TN
der the superintendence of ID. L. Lewis
who came here in 1851 with his fathers
family. Mr.. Lewis has the confidence
ard estem o: all that know him, and
one Reason is that he was good when
"A boy Good boys usally make good
men.
IL. f. Denny is their chorister. and
he has been here for many years, and
i lrIug The war Has nearly always pres
ent AT soldier gatherings to pour out
his mel6dlous voice III song.
Elder. Clyde Darsie is their present
pastor. and although young in years,
analyzes ms sermons with Master
mind, as any one could have learned IN
listening to his sermon last Sabbath
morning upon the words Repent and
De Converted
He said there were two extremes
taken Icy the religious world upon "be
converted" and one extreme way to say
to a person. Will to be the Lords and
the Holy Spirit would be given you, and
the other extreme was ito work out
your own salvation" The truth lies
about midway between these two eS
trenes. This subject was farther illus
trated from the active aud passive verbs
in both the English and Greek language
This paper would be too long 10 give
al! the illustrations on this interesting
theological theme with reference to the
application OF Gods grace or mercy to
The soul. Should any design or desire
to spend an hour or two in IA pleasant
and profitable way drop into their Sab
bath school and listen to their pastor.
You will be cordially greeted, both by
pastor aud congregation.
There are two forms of church govern
ment. the Episcopal that is governed by
Bishops and,the other Congregational, IN
which all power is vested IN the church
or congregation. The Christian church
represents the latter.
In one or two Things they represent
the Bapt;sts in their church government
and also all their members ara IN
mersed, bat all christian people are in
vitcd to their communion table.

Federal Interference,


Mr.. Bryan IN his letter OF accep tance
swallows the whole Of the Chicago plat
form, hook, line, bob and sinker. He
says:
ut will be noticed that, while the
United States guarantees to every state
Republican form Of government and is
empowered to protect each state against
invasion, it is not authorized to inter-
fere in the domestic affairs of any state,
except upon application of the legisla-
ture Of the state or upon application of
the executive when the legislature can
not be convened. This provision rests
upon the sound theory that the people
OF the state, acting through their legally
chosen representatives, are, because Of
their more intimate acquaintance with
local conditions, better qualified than
the president TO judge of the necessity
for federal assistance"
Ie 1t possible that we are to fight over
again this question of state OF supre-
macy? Is 1t possible il MIR. Bryan is
elected he will not cross a state line 10
uphold q national law? Is he to stand
back and keep hands off while an or
ganized mob tramplss Interstate and
national laws into the dust! Is ne to
be dislnterested onlooksr at another
Chicago riot and refuse to act for the
reason that Governor Altgelds "more
intimate acquaintance" vito this "local
condition, better qualify him to Judge
Of the necessity OF federal assistance"
What has a governors "acquaintancs"
got to do with gigantic mot violating
the federal laws, il he does not prevent
it? The very fact that he is acquainted
with it and takes no steps to queli it
stamps him as traitor and a presidents
arm should be long enough to span the
breadth Of every state and seize the
neck of every traitor beneath the flag.
The state and county Popocratic can
didstes endorse the Chicago Anarchlstic
platform, and it behooves every patriotic
citizen OF our county and state to do all
in their power to secure their defeat
and secure the election Of:
William Mckinley for president.
r. z. Lewis for governor.
John kennish for attorney general.
George G.. Crowther, congress.

Appeal to Patriotism.

In his Speech AT Stewart, Iowa, Mr..
Bryan said: .ln the Ani"ricrin people
regardless of party, there Is a Patriotism
which is never appealed to IN vain"
TO that feeling of American patriot
ism, rising above considerations of party.
an appeal giii be made. and not in vain,
TO save the United States from the dis
honor ard disaster of reputation, from
assault upon property and thrift. from
the triumph of the Gospel Of D-bs and
lawlessGess, aud from the degr dation
and transformation of tho supreme
court. The appeal 10 patriotism: .Ili be
fatal To the gentlemen who. Ike MIR.
Bryan, think there are votes III BAN
booking ignorance and inflaming greed.
in stirring up sectional jealousies ard
hostilties, and in representing that IN
this country OF eauai rights and equal
npport uDities there Is war nf'ciasses."
Patriotism love of country, respect for
the laws aud courts of the land, and
desire that the nation shall pay its just

Moh Rule.

Among the planks IN the Chicago
platform, which Mr.. Bryan has pledged
himself, If elected, to carry out to the
letter." are some that would evoke more
constant condemnation If the silver
issue had not overshadowed all the
rest.
One of them Is the remuneration CO
arbitrary interference by federal
authorities in local affairs as a violation
Of the constitution Of the United States
and crime against free institutions"
1t was intended as condemnation OF
President CIeveland's action IN sending
federal troops TO Chicago to open the
trunk lines of railroads and prevent OBJ
struction of inter state travel aud the
passage of the mails, by murderous
and incendiary mob which was not IN
terfered with by the governor of ILL.,
nols. The resolution has no other rel
evancy or meaning, and its insertion as
one Of the platform planks, was secured
by Governor Aitgeld.
Mr.. Bryan's pledge. therefore. means
that if he should be elected president,
and there should be a recurrence Of the
Chicago riots and Ancheciei iawbreak-
ing, he would refuse 10 interfere unless
requested to 10 SO by Governor Altgeld
OF some other anarchistIc sympathizer
who might happen to be the ,iare!ec;
governor Of the state.
The supreme authority OF the na-
tlonai government in quelling disorder
and enforcing federal laws has been
thoroughly established in this country.
To hold that the national government
is powerless to preserve the peace. keep
open lines of interstate trayel and pro-
tect the carrying of the mails, unless
called upon to do so by state authority,
is a revival of the old states rights
heresy in It's most untenable and danger
Gus form.
President Cleveland's action 10 this
matter is one of the most colnmendabie
deeds OF his administration. 1t was
formally approved by the house OF rep
on July -. 1891, by Il vote
of 125 %. To carry out the Chicago
platform "to the letter." would put
premium upon !awlessness. riotlng and
mob rule.
