Sparkling Music.

Music ought to rush from the audi
ence like the water from a rock-clear,
bright, sparkling. If all the other part
of the church service is dull, do not
have the music dull With so many
thrilling things to sing about, away
with all drawing and stupidity. There
is nothing makes me 50 nervous as to
sit in pulpit and look off on an audi
ence with their eyes three-fourths closed
and their lips almost shut, mumbling
the praises of God. During my recent
absence l preached to large audience,
and all the music they made together
did not equal one skylark People do
not sleep at coronation. Do not let us
sleep when we come to a Saviour S
browning In order to a proper discharge
of this duty let us stand up, save as age
or weakness or fatigue excuses us Seat
ed in an easy pew we cannot do this
duty half so we'll as when, upright, we
throw our whole body into it. Let our
song be like an reclamation of victory
You have a right to sing. Do not sur
render your prerogative.
We want to rouse all our families
upon this subject. We want each family
of our congregation to be singing
school Childish petulance, obduracy
and intractability would be soothed if
we had more singing in the household,
and then our little ones would be pre-
pared for the great congregation ON Sab
bath day, their voices uniting with our
voices in the praises of the Lord After
shower there are scores of streams
that come down the mountain side with
voices ripping and silvery, pouring in
to one river and then rolling in united
strength to the sea- So l would have all
the families in our church send forth
the voice of prayer and praise, pouring
it into the great tide of public worship
that rolls on and on to empty into the
great, wide heart of God Never can
we have our church sing as it ought I'M
til our families sing as they ought.
There will be great revolution on
this subject in all our churches God
will come down by his spirit and rouse
up the old hymns and tunes that have
not been more than half awake since the
time of our grandfathers The silent
pews in the church will break forth in
to music, and when the conductor takes
his place ON the Sabbath day there will
be great host of voices rushing into the

Fear of Criticism.

Another obstacle has been an inordi-
nate fear of criticism. The vast majority
of people singing in church never want
anybody else to hear them sing. Every
body is waiting for somebody else to do
his duty. If we all sang, then the mac
curacies that are evident when only a
few sing would be drowned out God
asks you to do as well as. you can, and
then if you get the wrong pitch or keep
wrong time he will forgive any de-
ficiency of the ear and imperfection of
the voice Angels will not laugh if you

FULL TINE AT FAIR WAGES.
Is What the Farmers Good Times Means
to the Laborer.

Washington. Aug. 27.-Assistant Sec
rotary Brigham OF the agricultural de-
partmen. today expressed the opinion
that the American farmers this year
would receive in the aggregate from
four to five hundred million dollars in
excess OF the amount received last year
for their wheat
This he said, means much TO the
farmers. They have learned in the sea-
son OF hard times through which they
have passed TO economize where they
could and be careful in buying. They
use this money they receive for their
crops to pay off their debts, cancel mort
cages and in making improvements on
the farm and their farm buildings. This
tain the claim
Colonel Brigham also predicts that the
increase in the price Of farm products
will benefit The laboring element.
The price of labor" he continued "did
not decline with the price of farm pro-
ducts and for some time the farmer was
forced TO pay as much for the services OF
those who did this work as ever before.
while his receipts were cut in two. IN

no reason why their advance should be

CONTROL or TIE sENAZE.
INC palles Chronlele.

1t might be well for the Republi-
can contingent which refuses to or
ganize the legislature to consider
carefully what the result will be,
and TO realize to what extent they
are playing into the hands Of the
Populists and Democrats. Ifa Re-
publican senator is elected from
Oregon. the Republicans will have
exactly one half the senate, and
with the vice-president. who only
votes in case ofa tie, they will have
control Of that body. Ifno senator
is elected from Oregon, the conbi-
nation opposed to Republican ideas
will have one majority. No tariff
legislation can be enacted, and the
Republican party will be powerless
to carry out its theories.
The majority of the legislature
want Mitchell, and certainly a large
majority of the people want him.
The only question in the election of
a senator is, shall the majority select
the man for the position, or shall it
permit the minority to do SO?
Oregon, after one of the hardest
fought political battles it ever ex-
perienced. was carried for Republi-
can principles by bare majority of
1000 The fruits of that victory
are about to be snatched from the
party by a few boss-ruled Republi-
cans.
It is not only the interests of the
state that are being jeopardized, but
those of the nation. If the legisla-
ture adjourns without electing a
United States senator, the party will
not have control Of the upper house
of congress, and the blame for this
state Of affairs must rest entirely on
Joe Simon and the small Repnbli-
can contingent Of the Oregon legis-
lature that he controls. The Ore
gonian and Simon are willing to
ruin the party, state and nation.
in their insane desire to down
Mitchell, and by the assistance ofa
few traitors, they seem to bein fair
way to accomplish that purpose.

Ex-Judge and Senator Davis Of
Illinois pays the following tribute
to the local paper: Each year ev-
cry local paper gives from $500 to
$4,000 in free lines for the benefit of
the community in which it is To-
Gated. No other agency can or will
do this; the editor, in proportion to
his means, does more for his town
than any other man, and in all
fairness he ought be supported
not because you may happen to
like him or admire his writing, but
because q local paper is the best ad-
vertisement community can make.

thoughts, but financially it is more
of a benefit than both teacher and
preacher, Today editors of local pa
pers do more work for less pay than
any man on earth. Patronize your

A bill has been introduced in the
Legislature at Harrisburg to remove
the capital of Pennsylvania to Phil
adelphia. The latter place is work
ing with renewed energy, since the
100000 state capitol building at
Harrisburg was burned recently.
This reminds US that nearly every
body in Oregon, outside of Marion
county, would like to see the state
capital moved to Portland, where
it naturally belongs.
