NEED OF CHANGE IN CAR CONSTITUTE
TION.-The Scientific American has
made the discovery that the heavy
Pullman cars are responsible for much
of the loss OF life incident to head.on
collisions. This opinion is based upon
careful observation and much study
of the matter, and u comparison of
results when the heavy Pullman cars
are in the trains demolished and where
not. This discovery applies. however,
only to head.on collisions; when they
are from the rear, the heavier cars are
a protection to passengers in the
lighter. coaches. The late fright
full epidemic of railroad disaster has
brought the matter prominently before
the public eye, and among the plans
for protection of life, it is advised to
make the Pullmans lighter by greater
use Of steel, and it is noted that the
coaches may be made to resist the i'm
pact better by the same means. The
trains might be made almost collision
proof by the judicious use of steel, it is
claimed, by that high authority.

No WONDER THEY FEEL AGRIEvED.
The P.'I. has figured up the value
of the patronage at disposal OF the
Governor in this State, and finds that
it aggregates nearly a million dollars
during the term of Office, distributed
among 346 employees and officers. Be.
sides this, these employees will have

COUNTY TICKET.
Let It Be Principle.

As indiscriminate praise is said to
be compliment to nobody, We have
always exercised considerable care not
tc impair good intent by fulsome laud
atoms of anybody supported by the
STANDARD. The spectacle OF any hu.
man creature pinning his faith on the
sleeve Of any other mortal being is go
repugant to manhood that we choose
to err on the side OF GOODNESS than of
undue zeal. Humanity, in the aggre-
gate, is about the same; there are the
good and the bad; the selfish and the
generous; the faithful and honest
partisans actuated by purest of mo.
tives, and the sychopants, controlled
solely by selfish and venal purposes.
1t.seems, therefore, We might properly
hold that quite enough had been said
OF our candidates last week, in the ar.
ticle," Principles, Not Men," 1t sure

in the present campaign, recognizing
as we do that there is not name on

who make party management bust

New Religious ORGANIZATION.

The Church OF God" is the name
OF a new sect, which lately held a
meeting in East Portland. Probably
it is hardly proper to call it a sect, for
its members repudiate the idea OF sec
taranism, and maintain q profound
belief in the oneness of Gods people
Some of their rules are peculiar. They
never take up collections; the minis
tiers receive no salary, and the Society
is opposed to conferences, with stipu-
lated powers. The ministers trust in
God alone for their support and as
signment OF duty, and depend upon
voluntary contributions for support.
They go back to Christ's pilgrimages
for their model. In the days Of the
apostles all who believed received SAL
walton; all who were sustained by be.
lief became members of Gods family,
and all these members, collectively,
constituted the Church o. God. This,
in the meaning of the New Testament,
signifies the universal family of saved
people, who could not be saved without
belonging to that church or belong to
it without being saved. That book
likewise teaches Qhev maintain) that
all who are saved should worship
God together, and condemns, in the
strongest terms, all divisions among
Gods people. Divine healing is
taught, and that the people must live
without sin.
1t will be seen that, like all other
sects formed which shall be without
sect, it is likely to become the most
determined against sectarianism, and
thereby in time the most bigoied of
all. The members OF this new apps.
tolic congregation modestly call them.
