, No County Institute.

Supt. Denman has issued a cir
cular letter tosthe various teachers
of Benton county notifying them
that there will be no annual coun-
ty institute in our county this
year.. Benton has united with
other counties of the valley for
the purpose of holding an educa-
tional congress at the Lewis and
Clark Fair. The exact date of
this congress will be given out
later.
Those in charge have arranged
to have some of the leading edu-
cational men of the county pres
ent on this occasion. Neither
time nor money is to be spared in
making this meeting a success in
every way. According to law
teachers in counties where the an
nual county institute has been
dispensed with are not compelled to
attend the congress. At the same
time the district will not receive
the IS premium.
In all probability no better op-
portunity will ever be given our
teachers to get in touch with the
leading educational lights of our
land, and it is hoped that for the
glory of old Benton large num-
Der of our teachers will arrange
to attend this congress, go to
Portland in special car, and re-
main a week.

A Great Man.

A Great Man.
United States District Judge
Charles E. Bellinger passed from
this life Friday afternoon at his
home in Portland, after a COM
paratively brief illness. His de-
mise is sadly lamented by an un-
usually large circle of friends.
In early lite Charles E Belling-
er lived in Benton county for a
time, residing at both Corva lis
and Monroe at different periods.
He was boln in Maquon, ILL.,,
November 21, 1889. While still
a young man Judge Bellinger
was united in wed1ock with Miss
Margery Johnson, in Linn coun-
1ty, and seven children were born
to them.
Charles B. Bellinger first at
tended school in country school
house on the Santiam River, un-
der the tutelage of Orange Jacobs,
who is now we'll known attor-
ney at Seattle.
He later entered the William
cite University, but did not re-
main to graduate. Leaving that
institution be studied law at the
Office of B. F. Benham, now an
attorney at Salem, and was ad-
mitted to the bar in 1868, begin
ming the practice of his profession
with John c Cartwright
! The young lawyer next turned
to newspaper work for a time and
; edited the Arena, a weekly paper
at Salem, and at that time the
democratic organ of the state,
He later published the Salem Re
view, but owing to'failing health
; left that city and went to Monroe
Benton county, where he engaged
in the mercantile business. Whil.
I. here he was elected member o
: the legislature from Benton il
1868.
a In 1860 he again turned t.
Journalism for time and editet
the Albany Democrat. The fol
lowing year he came to Portlant
fto practice his profession ant
founded the Portland News, whicl
later became the Telegram. H
edited the paper for two years
i From 1874 to 1873 he was Clerl
Of the Supreme Court, and il
1873 was appointed a Circui
NJ Judge of the Fourth District b
6 Governor Thayer, to fill a vacan
= = cv caused by the reorganizatio
: of the district.
, In 1880 Judge Bellinger recei1
r ed the nomination for the ofhc
: which he was at that time holi
ing, but was defeated, thoug
h he ran 100 votes ahead of b
ticket.
/ From 1880 to 1883 Judge Be

=, ciated with John M. Gearin. an

erhood. She knows the sacred
duties that motherhood entails. II
she be of average intelligence Will
she consent to subject her offspring
to all the disadvantages, the annoy
ances, the insults and deprivations
that the Negro must endure?
In the second place this young
woman knows that to unite herself
to a Negro means Social Ostracism
for herself; she cannot hope for
recognition by the whites nor viii
she be welcomed by the blacks. Is
it to be supposed any respectable.
refined, intelligent white woman
would handicap herself and her pre-
.sumable offspring by an act of such
folly? Ut should be called crime
As to the Negro In the case, if he be
sound in mind he recognizes all the
facts and knows he can get no wife
among the whites who in intelligence
and virtue would be worthy the sac
red name of wife and mother Let
that suffice to dispose of the social
side of the question.
What does the intelligent Negro
want? He wants equality before
the law; he wants the chance to live.
to attain position and honors by the
same avenues that are open to the
white. He wants the privilege of
casting his ballot for the men who
are to represent him in the enjoy
ment of his lawful rights he wants
the full protection of that loved and |
henored flag, for which his fathers
have fought, for which many OF his
race have died and for which and to
maintain the integrity of which, he
is ready to cheerfully lay down his
own life.

analyze or criticize his production
or conclusion !?
First, then as to the Negroes de-
sire for social equality. (Bear in
mind this is written by Ncgro.)
The inference is drawn, especially
by the illiterate portion of the CONF
munity is that the Negro wishes to
be taken into the family circle of
the white, that he may set at his
table, or marry his daughter. No
more mistaken idea of the desires
Of an intelligent Negro can be form
ed or formulated. Open the book
of reason and find an answer. First
the young woman Of the twentieth
century has received a totally diff
ferent education from that of the
Young girl of fifty years ago. She
has been taught the physical require
ments of her sex. She knows that
marriage in most cases means moth |
