FATHER MEALEY ON CHURCH FAIRS.
REGARDS THEM SOMEWHAT IN
THE LIGHT OF A NECESSARY
EVIL.

EVIL.
Rev Father Mealey, of st. Peters
Pro-Cathedral, celebrated mass at st.
Mary's Church, Sixth and Pine streets,
yesterday at 1890 a. m. Before the
reading of the gospel of the day, the
reverend father expressed some strong
sentiments in regard to church fairs,
designating them as a necessity, rather
to be deplored as an evil, forced upon
the financial resources of the church by
the failure of too many to do their duty
in contributing toward the church S
needs. AS the church fair may be look
ed upon as a social charity, that char
ity, to be effective, should begin at
home, and the members OF St. Mary s
should not wander off TO other parishes
to the neglect of their own. Il do not
say" continued the reverend father
that you should stand idly by and see
your neighbors child suffer and starve
but | do say you should look after your
own first"
The music for the mass. as arranged
by Choir Director NJ. j. Conway, was
Generals" rendered by the chOii
chorus with pleasing effect. At the Of
fertory Miss Elizabeth Schawb sans
Cherubim's ave Maria" with her usua'
excellence, especially in the finale by
the sustained trilling of the voice in
the higher notes. 1T the evening YES.
pers the soloists were Miss Elizabeth
Harmey, who sang excellently Ros
sinis Ave Maria" and Miss Laura
Steffenburg in Holden's 20, Salutaris."

At this writing the lower house OF
the Oregon legislature is still in confu-
sion. The Bourne republicans are
staying out practically in body. The
populists 60 in and come out according
to their own sweet will. The four
democrats seem to have frequent calls
on the outside The only sTAYERs are
the republicans who are IN favor of
the election of Mitchell AS senator,
This is as neara correct statement as
We can gather from the conflicting re-
ports published in the various papers.
The house should have organized
the first day. We doubt the wisdom
of those who are staying out. The
populists aud democrats should not
have followed the bad example Of
those republicans who have refused to
be present, aud should not longer lend
their aid to This disgraceful condition
of affairs. The populists claim that
they are forced to adopt these tactics
| in order to force reform on the republi.
can majority, This may be true, bur
they should remember that reforms
promised by the Bourne wing of the
republican party, under compulsion,
will likely be disregarded when the
eompulsion is removed There is but
little, if any, difference between the
two wings of the party-one teing as
corrupt Us the other, one being for
Mitchell for senator, and the other for
Bourne for speaker. Between Mitchell
aud Bourne the people can hardly see
any difference. Both have been in
consistent; neither can be trusted by
the people. Mitchell has undoubtedly
sacrificed his principles for his party,
while Bourne has treacherously tried,
while secretary of the republican state
committee, to turn his party over to
its enemies. We may be excused for
devoutly wishing the destruction of
the republican party, but no man can
afford to respect the traitor who like
Bourne, sought the destruction Of his
party when he was one of its trusted
officials,
We think it unwise for the demo.
Gratis and popuists to aid either one of
these men in their selfish schemes.
Let them take their seats and vote
their convictions. The record will put
the blame where it belongs. If this
unsettled state Of affairs continues, the
populists and democrats will have to
share the blame with the republicans.
Organize and get to work, or resign
and come home.
