In the death of William Ewart Gladstone
there falls the tallest and mightiest oak in
the sparse forest of statesmen. What a
vacancy there will be! For rather more
than an average lifetime Mr.. Gladstone
has been a prominent figure in the affairs
of Great Britain, and to a greater or less
extent in the affairs of the civilized werld
A review of his career. to be complete,
would necessarily include the history of
England from 1852, when he entered Parlla-
ment. since upon his earliest appearance IN
public life he took a leading part in the
politics and affairs of his country.
Mr.. Gladstone's was a particularly busy
life. His biographers have been able 10
note some incident Of especia apublic i'm
portance in very nearly every year of his
career, in which he was directly interest
ed; and sometimes the incidents numbered
three or four in the year. The reputa-
tons Of many statesmen are based upon
a single Incident in their whole lives
Mr.. Gladstone was a politician, not as that
term is commonly applied in these days of
Liputians in publis life, and when light
office, but in the broader and better sense
which means one who employs politics to
the end of advancing sound principles and
promoting liberty and enlightenment His
voice was ever raised in behalf of suffering
or oppressed humanity, and he was never
more eloquent and forceful than when
championing the cause of the Cretans and
acterization of Abdul Hamid as the great
assassin" will continue to be quoted when
ever reference is made to the late war be-
tween Turkey and Greece and the massa-
ores in Armenia. He was. generally
speaking, a man of peace, when peace
could be had with honor; but when it was
a question OF, wrong 10 be righted, or tyr
amy to be overthrown, he was a vigorous
advocate of strong measures.
No man ever entered public life better
equipped than he, and none better sustain
ed himself through a long series of years
filed with incidents wen calculated to test
ones best statecraft. AS an orator he
was easily one of the first of his country;
but he was not dependent upon the charm
of oratory to carry conviction to his audi
tors. His wonderful memory, and his in-
tense earnestness in whatever cause he
championed, were more powerful weapons
than those wiles of gesture and intonation
which some orators depend upon for the
effectiveness of their argument. His voice
in Ireland's behalf will ring through the
ages.
Whether or not Mr.. Gladstone was Eng
lands greatest statesman is a question
which will probably be discussed for some
time but it will not be disputed that he
was one of the greatest produced by that
country, or by the present century. Be
sides being a great statesman, Mr.. Glad
stone was a philosopher; and over and
above all. he was a Christian.

The Voice of the oregon.



You have called to me, my brothers. from
your far-off eastern sea,
To join with you, my brothers, to set a
PROSTATE people free.
You have called to me, my brothers, to
join TO yours my might,
The slaughterers of our brethren with our
armored hands to smite
We have never met, my brothers, we
mailed knights of the sea;
But there are no strangers, brothers.
meath, the Banner of the Free;
And though half worlds between us and
ten thousand leagues divide,
Our souls are intermingled and our hearts
are side by side.
Did you fail to call me, brothers, 'twere a
fault without atone,
Twas but just to me. my brothers, you
should not strike alone,
The brethren in the slaughter were no
more thine than mine,
And the blows thar visit vengeance must
be mine as well as thine.
Through days of placid beauty and nights
when tempests toss,
1 follow down the billow my guide. the
Southern Cross;
Past lands Of quiet splendor, where pleas
ant waters lave;
Past lands whose mountain ramparts
fling back the crashing wave.
But see no land of splendor and see no
land of wrath:
1 see before me only the oceans heaving
path.
And l plunge along that pathway like a
giant to the fray
Who hath no stomach in him for aught
that might delay.
I am nearing you, my brothers, for the
Western seas afar,
And the ray that lights my course now is
the cleaning Northern Star.
/ pray you wait, my brothers. for the air
with war is rife,
And in courtesy of knighthood claim to
share the strife.
In the winds that blow about me the
voices of the dead
Are calling to me- brothers, TO urge my
topmost speed.
In the foam that's upward flying in whirl-
ing wreaths of white
The wraiths of murdered brothers beckon
onward to the fight.
I am coming to you. brothers, walt but a
little while.
And on the thunders of our greeting shall
the God of Vengeance smile;
And in the flashing and the crashing the
universe shall see
How we pay our debts of honor we
mailed knights of the sea.

Upon the facts coming out. it appears
that the French government and the
French cable company at Martinique
were without blame in the matter of the
celay of twenty-four hours in the dis
patches to the commander of The auxiliary
cruiser Harvard TO Washington The truth
is that the dispatches were filed with the
English cable company at st. Pierre, be-
cause the captain of the Harvard pre-
ferred that the French company should
not have the handling of the governments
official messages. The English company
1t appears, had a large accumulation Of
business, which caused the delay.

At the Inquest.

''You know the deceased, I believe you
said?" asked the coroner of the witness,
according to Art in Dress.
Yes, sir. Our desks stood side by side
for six years"
Had you ever heard him intimate a
wish to die or declare that life was in
supportable?"
mo, sir
Can you suggest any reason for his
suicide?"
Il can only suggest what may possibly
prove to be the reason, sir"
What is it?''
when he came in yesterday morning
he seemed very much depressed I asked
him the cause and he replied that on his
way to the office he had seen a wheelman
wearing a red waistcoat and a pair of
bright green golf stockings. He must
have swallowed the poison within five
minutes after that, SIR"
That is ALL You may step down. Gen

stances. the only verdict you can render

col. Cnndler,s MistnI.e.

1t looks very much as if Col. Gambler
would be the Democratic nominee for Gov
ernor and therefore it is matter of regret
that he should have such a wrong idea
about the school tax. In his speech at
Sparta on May II he is reported as having
said: 81 am in favor Of the present school
tax, but am unwilling for the farmers
to be taxed in order that the children in the
cities may be taught Latin and Greek"
made this statement or a similar state
ment, on several occasions. We are not
sure that he does not make it in every
speech he delivers. But what foundation
has he for making it at all? We have ask
ed him this question, but have not been
able TO get a reply He must know, he
cannot help knowing, that the farmers
contribute nothing towards the education
of the children of the cities. There is moth
ing the cities would consent to more quick
ly than that they should receive as much
from the state school fund as they contrib
ute to it, and no more. AS a matter of
fact the cities pay into the state treasury
AOi SShOOi phA pOSSS SACeNS NSoA AiOAS
than they receive from it.
The state treasurer has been quoted as
saying that under the next tax levy. there
will be ninety-three counties which will
draw more money out of the state treasury
than they will pay into n-that is, there
are ninety-three counties which, practi-
cally, will not contribute a cent towards
the support of the state government. What
can Col Cahdier mean therefore by stat
ing in his speeches that he doesn't favor
taxing farmers in order that children in the
cities may be taught Lain and Greek?
Does he know that the farmers pay taxes
for any such purposes, or that the taxes
paid by farmers are used for any such
purpose? If he does not how can he JUS
tify himself for making the statement to
which we have called attention.?
Col Gambler can afford to be fair in his
campaign-that is. he can afford to treat
the people with entire frankness. He APP
pears to be well in the lead, but if the peo-
pie get the idea that he is not as well in
formed about tax matters as he ought to
be he may lose his lead between now and
June 6.

"A German military critic has been
adding up the grand total of the continent
tai armies and after noting that we can
form only a vague idea of what is meant
by tens of millions, he tries to bring home
to his readers in another way the colossal
growth of modern ornaments If, he says,
we could have all the armies of the CONT
nent on war footing and drawn up In
one long procession, with their guns and
ammunition and baggage wagons, the col
umn would be rather more than 1900
miles long, and marching day and night,
II would take nearly a year TO pass

host costs lS7500,000 per annum, or 1887,
10000. 1t is interesting to note that the
capital value of the British navy at the
present time exceeds Sf7o.0oO,0O0.

The early closing movement, which is
designed to give the retail clerks little
rest of afternoons during the long and hot
summer days, should receive the prompt
sanction and cooperation of the mer-
chants. The stores would not lose any
trade worth taking into account by maxi
ing the closing hour half past during
the warm period. Shoppers would will
ingly make their purchases before that
hour, If they knew that by doing so they
would contribute towards securing a
needed breathing spell for the tired clerks.
The merchants, too, would be benefited by
favoring their employees in the manner
suggested, since workers who are given a
little time for recreation invariably per-
form their duties in more cheerful and
thorough manner than If perpetually held
to the task.
