The Rev. Mr.. Wick Gives His idea or 1t ana
Introduces n Poem.
The Rev. Robert X. Wick, pastor Of the
Wayne Street Reformed Church, in Jersey City,
preached last night the fifth of his series Of ser
mons on what People Think" Some weeks
ago Mr.. Wick sent out six questions to 200 mon,
and he is taking the answers as the text for his
sermons. The sermon last night was based on
the answers to the question, what can the
churches do to lessen the amount of vice and
crimef' In the course of his sermon Mr.. Wick
said:
at is the Christians duty to insure the cleo
ton Of good men as lawmakers and executive
officers. This can only DO done by his being
loyal to Christ and conscience at the primary
and the ballot box. Principle must always
come before party. 1t Is to be feared that such
IDENTIFY thought go. as he sent me q little ditty,
which runs in this way:
Along in November. when chill was the weather,
Two ballots were cast in a box together.
They nestled up close. like brother to brother,
You couldn't tell ono OF the votes from the other.
THE poet then declares that they were both
rum votes. and that they sanctioned the license
plan.' He continues:
The one was cast by q Jolly old brewer,
And one by a Sunday school man.
The Sunday school man. no man could be truer,
Kept busy all summerd enounoing the brewer.
But his fervor cooled on with the change of tho
And late in tho autumn they voted together.
The Sunday school man had always been noted
For f n q s saloons except 't when he voted;
But knocked them all down on the day of election.
The foxy old brewer was cheerful and mellow,
Said he. 81 admire that Sunday school fellow.
He's true to his Church, to his party he's truer;
He talks for the Lord but he votes for the brewer"
Inconsistency like this will never bring the
now Jerusalem down out of heaven and estab-
lish 1t on tho earth.

Thare is no satisfaction given to
President Chapman's friends by his
return to the presidency of the state
university, after having filed his res
ignation under the circumstances sur
rounding that step, his flight to Wis
consln and his application for places
elsewhere. Those who haye sought
to uphold him are weary. They are
weary also of his dahhinp in Enoenn
City and public school politics, making
the university more and more mere
local institution. The influences are
stonger today for Chapman's removal
and wholesome cleaning out OF that
institution in several other depart
ments than ever before. 1t is only
question Of finding man of the
right sort who could be reasonably
sure to stay there ten years. There is
some danger, if Chapman is removed,
that politician like McElroy would
go in. McElroY is one of the pillars of
the Republican party. His retire
ment from public life would cause
the whole political structure.to'totter.

The federal injunction does not
seem to have materially affected the
great coal strike. Government by in
junction in an extreme urgency may
be justified as last resort to protect
life and property, but it cannot be
depended upon to solve problems
growing out Of social conditions.
The rights of labor and capital, the
adjustment necessary between en-
ployer and employed form the back
bone controversy of the age and will
probably never be perfectly adjusted.
The line Of progress lies in mutual
and friendly humane in
terest of each class in the welfare and
success of the other.

The important European event the
past week was the conference between
President Faure of France, and the
czar of Russia. 1t was about as great
an epoch as conference" of couple
of American millionaires. But the
French newspapers express delight at
the fact that by the mention of the
word alliance" in the toasts of the
czar and President Faure on board
French cruiser Pothnau at Cronstadt,
the world has been informed that a
distinct understanding really exists
between France and Russia, and that
the understanding lis apparently in
the nature of an alliance for the pres
ervation Of the peace of Europe,
though some of the French papers are
inclined to believe that the allience
means Russia's support of France in
the event of the latter attempting to
reconquer Alsace and Lorraine from
Germany.
The Gaulois says of the mentioning
of the word alliance" "such an ex-
preston was not inserted in the toast
for nothing. 1t was no mere verbal
flourish. There never are fiourishes
in the czar's toasts, and we can only
see in it the very soul and inspiration
of the alliance"
The Soleil remarks: Something
is changed in the world today. The
Franco-Russian alliance makes its
appearance as great force in the
worlds international politics. In rad
ical days, we dreP med OF an alliance
for revenge and We now have an al
lance for peace. We must bid fare
well to our patriotic hopes"

There ought to be 10 more difficulty
about publishing balance sheet of

there is of county finances The Sc
crecy observed in the management Of
the state treasury is not compliment
ary to the intelligence of Oregon.
The whole treatment of the public
business as private snap is prima
facie evidence of non.development or
degeneracy. While the people of Or
gon are not degenerate, there is sus-
picion that the politics OF this state
is very much so. Those responsible
for the dark-lantern methods of con-
Quoting the state finances are not

There is certainly no greg ter mis-
conception Of pulltics than that It Is
the duty OF political party to make
everybody prosperous. 1t is not a
harmless delusion, because it teaches
the individual to expect his cOmpe-
tency at the hands OF government,
and If he does not get it he will blame
the government, and thus out of the
ranks of individual failure will come
the armies of discomfort with hands
uplifted to destroy the government
that fails to produce prosperity. Not
even the Republican party can make

The voters who supported Mr.. Bryan
for President at the November eloc-
tion are not worried over the crying
up of prosperity and crying down of
silver. They know that phenomen-
ally good crops in our country and poor
crops the world over elsewhere has
more to do with present better times
than the Mckinley administration.
They also know that while hard times
set in the last year Of the Harrison
administration, prevailed all of Cleve-
lands term, and for the first half year
Of McKinley's, that such depress-
ion cannot endure always.
The persistent drying down of sill
YER by the gold press will produce
reaction that will demonstrate that
there is vitality in the silver mining
industry and value in silver as
money metal. Al the slightest un-
favorable run. or accidental! or arti-
6cal scarcity Of gold, the inadequacy
and injustice of the gold standard as
the sole measure of value will prove it.

who supported Bryan will be found to
be a conservative class of citizens, who
while upholding law aud order and re-
specting the Mckinley admlnistra-
tion cannot consent to prostrating
humanity beneath the iron heel of Or
ganized wealth. The surest tendency
of the Times is indicated by the grasp
which the trusts and syndicates had
upon the new tariff law, and the man.

This paper cannot hope to have in
fluence with so high.headed man as
Mayor Richardson. One of the first
acts of his careerwas to harangue the
council to annul its advertising con-
tract with this paper because it had
seen fit to call attention to the filthy
condition of Salem's streets and alleys,
exactly ia accordance with the tenor of
the Mayors own message. He said
such paper should not receive city
"Pap," thereby branding himself
with Inconsistency, etc. We do not
now care for that We wish to call
public attention to the fact that the
Mayor and council did not have the
sUreets anu aIIeys cleaned last spring,
az IL was announced in the council il
would be done. and that there have
been scattered cases Of typhus, scarlet
fever and even diphtheria in this city
all spring and summer, condition
unknown when the city has had its
annual cleaning and when its sani-
tation has been at all looked after.
What should be done? The mayor is
medical man. He has reputation
as physician If not as mayor. He
knows that he as mayor and the
members of the council as individ-
uals cannot or do not look after
public sanitation. They cannot or
do not inspect premises that are in
the worst possible unsanltary condi-
tion and direct and compel them to
be cleaned up. The mayor knows
that Health board of three compe-
tent independent citizens, outside of
the council, IN charge of a sanitary
inspector who has power to order
premises pat in sanitary condition,
is the only way TO reach the situat ion
and save further loss OF life. Why
don't he have bill introduced in the
council to bring about this result?
IL would meet with universal favor.
