provision that the clerks of the United
States courts In Washington SHOULD re-
ceiye the same fees and compensation as
similar officers performing similar services
In the states of North Dakota. Oregon and
Idaho. which is nearly double the usual
amount allowed. This provision was
stricken out in the conference committee,
and Is therefore not included In the pres
ent sundry civil bill. Clerks Hopkins. at
Seattle, and Ayres. at Tacoma. were aatu-
rally very anxious that this provision
should be again inserted. and brought con-
siderable pressure to bear upon various
senator's TO bring X about, but the OppO-
sition to II was too strong. and the ordi-
nary fees will be all that will be allowed
hereafter in that state.

A Brave Journal.

The world would be the better for it if every

A Vision of the Future.

The church of the twentieth century will believe
that Christianity intended to save the entire
man, Esprit, soul and BODY and to rectify his rela
lions both to God and to his fellows. It will believe
that society can be saved that politics be pur
fed, that the problems of pauperism and crime can
be solved that business be Christianized, and
that the Golden Rule can be believed. It will believe
what is now commonly doubted that righteousness
is practicable. 1t will believe, Lincoln used to
say, that fright makes might" 1t will believe that
Chrsts prophetic prayer is to have it's fulfilling
swer and that Gods will is yet to be done in earth
as it is done in heaven; that is, perfectly 1t will
believe, therefore, that there is such thing as per-
manent and necessary evil in the world and that in
difference to any social ill is disloyalty to the king
dom and to the King.-Josiah Strong

Stop Breeding Lawlessness.

Every intelligent Prohbitonist admits that liquor
illegally sold and consumed under the most drastic
law of that class yet adopted; and that perjury
has abounded in prosecutions for it's violations
these all the fault not of the law, but of the vice
which it seeks to restrain and which exists, Though
possibly less likely to be detected under the license
system; but urges that these evils will never disap-
pear under system which fosters them, but will
gradually decline under prohibition till the minimum
point is reached, as in legislation against other
crimes, theft, forgery and murder.-Templar.

The Foe of Labor,

Statistics compiled from the reports and
other reliable sources, and given in detail in Wal
drons "Prohbition Handbook show that $1,000
100000 spent for drink employs in it's manufacture
5O179 men, who receive for their labor producers
$3S,996,791. The amount spent for 20 of the
necessaries of life would in their production give
work to 372,S36 men, and pay them $685. $3.50 in
aggregate wages. This represents simply the manu-
facture of the finished product. If the MATERIAL
which enters into the manufacture is also considered
the 20 leading necessares require worth
of material representing the labor Of 1896
men, while the liquor traffic. in this billon-dollar
transaction, uses only $9s64o,e5s worth of raw ma

CORVALLIS. OREGON. Oct. IS, 1897.

DR.HARRY LANE,a Portland dem
ocrat and, according to the Oregon
ian, little god on earth, has been
writing that paper series of let
ters charging Senator Patterson, of
Marion county, with certain wrong
doings in connection with furnish
ing supplies to the state insane
asylum during Lanes superintend-
ency. Mr. Patterson, replying,
proves conclusively that if there
were anything wrong, the mug
wump doctor is alone TO blame.
Mr.. Patterson is gentlemanly in
his language, and in this respect
has distinct and great advantage
over the soured and malignant ex-
superintendent. The senator,
moreover, is disliked by Hofer,
and this fact entities him to the
respect and confidence of the
public.
