ATTENTION! PASTORS SALARIES.
By Frank T. Glasgow.

The following resolution was Sdopt-
ed unanimously at the recent meeting
of the Synod of Virginia:
Resolved, That Synod enjoins the
Presbyteries to direct the churches as
far as practicable to readjust the sala-
ries Of their pastors to the present high
er cost of living, if this has not already
been done by them"
Inc object of this communication Is
to accentuate the Importance of prompt
attention to this subject by the churches
seyerally within our bounds, to the
end that relief may come, and hope may
not be deferred.
Shall not the relief thus contemplate
ed begin in advance of the meeting of
Presbyteries, which do not meet again
until next spring? Why not at once?
II Is to be earnestly hoped that the Ell
GERS and Deacons, and church members
generally, will, without delay begin to
take affirmative action with reference
W tnls important and pressing subject.

IRRECONCILABLE DIFFER ENCES
SECOND TIME, AS REGARDS
THE POWERS OF THE GEN
ERAL ASSEMBLY.
By Rev. Luther Link.

By Rev. Luther Link
In the writer's last communication it
was stated that the two churches stand
Tor separate and irreconcilable views of
constitutional law. It is fortunate for
the Southern Church that both forms of
political actions in the Northern Church
have received signal illustration in the
recent past, which is a demonstration
OF the fact that they have not changed
their practice as regards political &C
tions, whatever their theories may be.
The Reed Smoot resolutions, which the
Observer has attempted to defend by
the pot and kettle argument, is a sig
nal illustration of the exercise by that
Assembly of unconstitutional powers
They undertook to decide nice ques-
ton of political constitutional law by
urging that Reed Shoots seat in the
Senate of the United States be declared
vacant. This was an unspeakable pre-
sumption, for when those resolutions
were introduced, the committee of the
Senate had shown a division as to the
proper course to pursue in getting rid
of Smoot, namely, whether his seat
should be declared vacant or whether
the sovereignty of the State should first
be recognized by allowing him to take
his seat, and afterwards expelling him
for causes. The Northern General AS
sembly was able to decide this nice
question of our political constitution
without the hearing of any witnesses,
and without any formal discussion of
me question. If this is not the height
of presumption, where would you find
it? 1t is a wonder the United States
Senate did not give these presumptious
ecclesiastics the rebuke they deserved.
The gist of that action is contained
in this clause: Resolved, That, as
citizens of this government, we earnest
ly petition the Senate of the United
States to declare his seat vacant, and
thus help remove this reasonable men
ace to our free institutions" Where
could you find better parallel to the
charges of "disloyalty" against the
Southern Church. as regards the nature
of the decision? "Treasonable?" Whose
function is it to decide the high crime
of treason? If treason is to be decided
off-hand by a body of ecclesiastics civil
liberty is at an end. But the more seri-
Gus aspect of this matter is this ready
exercise on the part of a church court
of extra-constitutional powers; for one
usurpation induces another.
The danger of becoming contaminated
by union with a church, which holds
such loose and exaggerated views of the
Assembly's powers, is seen in the So
called Cumberland Reunion. lhaJ Church
having a proportion of Northern people
in it, have not failed to suffer from the
evil in question The Cumberland Assem-
bly, assumed the power to consummate
union with the Northern Church, de-
spite the fact that a bare majority Of the
Presbyteries had voted favoTably, and
these Presbyteries representing a decid-
ed minority of the membership, decid-
ed minority even of pastors and elders.
How can any Assembly assume the au-
thorttv tn carry neoDls into a union for

the Assembly undertake to force the
body of the Church into measures? 1t
was an extra-constitutional exercise of
power to declare union in such circum-
stances, from the simple fact that they
had neither legal right nor moral right
to declare in favor of a decision so am
biguous and i'll supported. They had
no right in the technical exercise of
their discretionary power to pass an act
which they knew would result in the
rendfng asunder of the body of the
Church they pretended to represent
This action was utterly arbitrary and
subversive of fundamental principles
of constitutional law. If they saw that
the question would be such divisive
one, they should have sent down to the
Presbyteries the definite question:
'Shall we divide the Church," 1t is
claimed that the question at issue was
not clearly put before the Presbyteries.
This we shall not discuss.
Now the Northern Church has involved
herself in this gross injustice against
the Cumberland Church. by consummat-
ing a union which they must have
known meant a wide-open split in the
Cumberland Church. 1t must have been
something other than Christian love
which thus condoned and encouraged
schism in the name of union by an I'M
constitutional exercise of power.
In this wretched business they have,
involved their own Church in the strife
of a civil suit for the United Church,
that is, the Northern Church, has been
seeking by injunction to deprive the
loyalist portion of the Cumberland
Church of the use of their own houses
of worship, their Confession of Faith,
and even their very name. Rome in her
palmiest days never exceeded this in the
exercise of arbitrary powers. But they
have certainly Over-reached themselves
for the Cumberland church has in her
charter protecting her civil rights, a
clause which will secure her against
this wholesale robbery, and interfer-
ence with her spiritual functions. The
Southern Church has cause to rejoice
that they learned wisdom from her own
sad experience in the Walnut Street
church case, and made their charter
so as to come in under the Supreme
Court decision which declared the law
regarding requests to support a certain
doctrine of belief. The Northern Church
will not be able by any stretch to claim
that the creeds are the same, so they
Will have costs to pay, and probably
damages also, as a reminder that
church had better stay in it's own sphere.
The Southern Church can have no
such protection, on the other hand we
rest under a mistaken decision of the
supreme Court, which in case of union
with the Northern Church will mean
the confscation of all the property Of
the minority who refuse to go into the
movement. This Supreme Court de-
cision, which rests upon the false cen
Trailing theory of the Assembly's pow
ers, puts it in the power of the Assem-
bly, to rob any minority which shall stand
upon the true theory of Presbyterian
Church law, and shall declare itself un-
willing to put property rights ahead Of
principle. Let the Southern Church
take warning from the Cumberland
Church's experience. We stand togeth-

SOLD 60 TONS OF CHERRIES.
Grand Ronde Orchardists Receive IsI
Cents Per Pound.


The Grand Ronde Fruitgrowers' as
sociation has just contracted 60 tons
of Royal Anne and Centennial cher
ries for Az cents per pound. to the
Oregon Produce & Packing company
of Portland. The association also
closed a five years contract with the
same company to take all of these
varieties of cherries at this price
This is the highest price ever paid
for cherries in eastern Oregon and is
a direct result Of the organization of
the fruitgrowers of Grand Ronde.
The association was formed a year
ago and has been highly beneficial to
the fruitgrowers in every way.
Besides all the members of the as
sociation, many individual growers
from all parts of the valley came in
to this contract, to furnish their fruit
at this advanced price. The packing
company made the contract with the
outside fruit, except at the will of the
association.
The cherry crop will be ripe next
week and pickers will begin on this
enormous shipment next Monday. 1t
will require about two weeks to mar
ket the 60 tons of Queen Annes and
Centennials.
An experienced fruitpacker will be
brought to La Grande next week to
have charge of the association ware
houses.

The st. George restaurant, the Elite
Candy Kitchen and Hing Lee a Chi
naman, are all mourning the patron
age of stranger who was in the

passed bogus greenbacks upon each

Each of the bills passed was of sis
denomination and they were all old
state bank notes which had been is
sued before the civil war. The one
taken at the Elite Candy Kitchen
was upon some state bank in Florida.
while the one passed at the st. George
was uron a bank in Georgia. They
are supposed TO have all been redeem
ed many years ago. This is the sec

has been passed here, some similar
bills having been passed two years
ago.

ming that he appeared at the Elite
Candy Kitchen. He made a cent
purchase there and handed the SO
bill to Miss Abel, the cashier. How
ever, her suspicion was aroused by
the peculiar appearance of the money
and she refused to accept it. She
and the man were still discussing the

bill, thinking it was good. on pre-
senting it at the Savings bank the
following morning 1t was refused by
Fred Schmeer. assistant cashier. Later
on in the day the other victims learn
ed of their misfortune.
The bill passed at the st. George
restaurant was given the night wait
ress Tuesday evening. Consequently
it is possible that the swindler left
on the westbound train after having
made a raise here.
While at the Candy Kitchen the
man said he was working for C. c.
Sharp and that the bill had just been
given him by his aunt. In talking
with Mr.. Young he said he had got
ten it from his mother. The fellow
is described as about 2S or 80 years of
age, dark complexioned, smooth
shaven and weighing about 145
pounds.
Immediately after learning of the
affair the sherlff's office began upon
a search for the man, and IT is hoped
he may be located soon.
