OREGON CITY, JAN. 4, 1895. THE DEVIL'S WORK. If the doctrine promulgated by the Sal ration Army be true, that.all those who are not "saved" are in the aerylce of the devil, we must reconstruct our ideas of sociology, theology and cosmol ogy, and his (or its) malign influence on human society cannot but surpass the wildest flights of our Imagination , as the great majority of mankind is not and never was saved. For generations hundreds of millions have died In Indi a and China who never even heard of be' inn saved, not to mention the rest of mankind. Thev must have lived in the service of the devil and lltnrall? died in his arms. This is no scoffing matter. It is only a practl' cat. serious iDDlication of what the Salvationists preach to ns. If their doctlne be true, it the devil, not the individual trans- pressor, who the author of all the wrong thai Is committed If a man kicks and stamps his wife, it Is thn ilnvil In him that Id dolnl It: It is the devil that commits murders, robs railroad trains, swindles In trade, lies about the age of the old, spavined horse , buys votes, wages war between OUina and Japan, lowers the price of wheat, makes squalid paupers and bloated mil lionaires, and corrupts the police depart ments of Portland and San Francisco. The devil, too, must have control of the Southern Pacific railroad, and the defeat of that corporation's candidate for gov' ernor of California is an expression of the wish of the voters of that state that 'he devil would carry it off bodily. There is no evil that the affirmation, "the devil is in it ," will not render as clear as noon-day when it doesn't rain. Think of the patient efforts made by no ble men and women the very salt of the earth to ameliorate the condition of the down-trodden, whom the devil has been afflicting, and it is not crime and poverty, but the devil that should be suppressed. It is not claiming too much when we at tribute the fruit pests and the many dis eases that man and beast are subject to, to the devil. It was not the czar of Rus sia that inflicted the many cruel acts of despotism that marked his reign but the devil, and if the legislature of Ore gon does some dirty work.tbey will baye to conclude that the devil is running tbe legislature with Joe Simon as his part ner. Tna devil may take tbe credit for the shortcomings of congress last spring, but if we also credit him with the repub lican victory in November, Is it proper to lay at his door the democratic victory that preceded it? Statesmen and phil osophers should wipe their glasses and make a fresh start. But whatever the Army's ideas of demonology may be, it performs the part of the Uood Samaritan to many a poor, wayward fellow mortal that needs uplifting, and whoever of us differs from the Army in opin ion in this matter can easily and charitably pass it by, for neither it nor the discordant bass drum does us tbe least harm. Howevor, as Martin Luther, the founder of the Lutheran church, bad violent conflicts with the deyil, almost daily, and at times saw him In the form of a dog or a hog, it maybe that his Satanic Majesty goes around "like a roaring lion seek ing whom he may devour." GOVERNMENT RAILROADS. The Denver chamber of commerce stands with the people of California on the question of the acquisition of the subsidized railroads by tbe government. It is circulating for signatures a memo rial protesting against the passage of a funding bill and urging the government to take possession of tneroaasanu "ope rate them hereafter on a plan similar to that of tbe postofflce department, in or der that the entire country may enjoy i L n . i , , a .1 me oenenia oi bo nouest suniinistraiion without discrimination." Taken in con nection with the Examiner petition this action proves that there is substantially no difference of opinion on the Pacific railroad question among the people of the entire stretch of country immediate' ly interested. Examiner. Boards of trade and great dailies some' times nod. They do not always know as much as they think they do, because, being mortal and limited In knowledge, they take too much for granted. Ac cording to the report of tbe Interstate Commerce Commission there are at pres ent 18 countries which partly own and operate the railroads within their boun daries. The most important of these are France, Germany, Russia, Australia, Japan, Norway and Sweden. In these countries the government fixes the tar iff on all traffic. The result of (partly) government ownership and control may be seen by the following significsnt fig ures: The cost of transposing freight in France ia 2.2 cents per mile, in Germa ny 1.64 cents and in the United States 1 cent. In tbe case of tbe interest paid on tbe capital invested, France pays 3.8 per cent. Germany 5.1 per cent, Russia 5.3 per cent, Austria 1 per cent and the United State 3.1 per cent Several states, including Pennsylvania, Michigan, Indians, Massachusetts and others, have attempted to manage their railroads, but in every case without financial suc cess. Tbe advantages are In favor of private ownership. The Denver cham ber of commerce would undoubtedly not urge in its memorial acquisition by the government of the subsidized rail roads if it knew that probably, if experi ence is worth anything, rates would be higher than they are now. The govern ment should certainly foreclose its mortgage on the Central and Union Pacific with tbe intention of either selling them at auction or transferring them by lease to a company which would operate them. UNDER THE BAN. There has been more or loss uncertainty in the minds of Catholic themselves as well as rrolostants as to the position of the Catholic) church In regard to secret societies. Of course il has been known that Catholics were not allowed to be Free Masons, but as to Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias, Sons of Temperance and the like there was much doubt. The I'd is that many Catholics have boon members of all the societies named, except Maons, and have been in affiliation with thoi church, in certain Darts of the United States. Some biehons have been more radical than others In their respective dioceses; and it has not boon infrequent that a Catholic Odd Fellow in going from bis own diocose to another lias found that in the new diocese he was deDrived of church affiliation, unless be should renounce Lis connection, with the Odd Fellows. These differ ences of discipline have canned nn little discussion among the prelates them selvei'as to the wisdom of some defluito and united plan of action. Two years ago, at the meeting of arch bishops in New York city, a committee of the hierarchy was appointed to con elder the of secret societies. The report of the committee was forwarded to Rome. Lately here and there has ap peared in the press some definite state ment that such and such a prolate has received from Rome a document placing this and that secret society under the bau. A week ago a pastoral letter was read in diocese of Wilmington, Dcla ware, saying that Rome had placed under the ban with tfie Free Masons, the Kniihts of Pvthias. Sons of Tom perance, Odd Fellows, etc. The Holland Reformed church at Grand Rapids opposes secret societies of all kinds as strongly as the Catholics are, and thie fact ia likely to place many younglloilanders in Grand Rapids in a position to necessitate a choice ha- tween the church and the society One lodge of Maccabees is made up almost entirely of Hollanders, and among the Knights of Pythias also there are many of them. The church has thus far not taken cognizance of the departure from the rules, but It is nn derstood tint afTiira will soon come to a focus. Tub Dolph organs are beginning to get personal at last says, the Portland Tomahawk. They recongnize that It is no longer a laughing matter lor Joseph, and in their bewilderment do me some rather questionable arguments. Accord Ing to them, tbe silver men are so small a quantity that they cut no figure, and vet. it is well known that apart from a few bankers, money lenders and a few of the business men, this state is almost a unit npon silver. Its morning organ in this city, says "thus comes it that Fultcn is now a silver man where hither to opposed," or words to that effect. For tbe information of the general pub lic, let us see if Fulton is the only one that has left tbe camp of the golditea in recent months. Governor-elect Lord at one time was opposed and so was Mr. Tongue. Likewise Mitchell, Hermann and the rest of all our public men worth mentioning. It is true that Dolph has held the fort, but where are the rest? The entire party has switched, while he alone stands firm. Not only in this state is this the case, but in Ohio, Pennsylvania and other states, the plat form is committed to the metal, by a plank in favor of free coinage . It there - fore looks as if the Oregonian was articulating through the head-covering of its owners. Tns reports that the Indians are showing signs of renewing the ghost dance that were Interrupted by the troop in 1801 may be doubted. The main inspiration of the ghost-dancing craze was the Messiah beiiel and me failure of the Messiah to appear accord ing to contract will prevent most of the tribesmen from being deluded a second time into a rebellion on the same promise. The Indians who have a grievance would Blart a raid at once if they thought they could escape punish- ment. But those who are Buffering from neglect are small in number and they have had convincing proof that the government has the force to put down any uprising in summary fashion . The chance for an Indian war need worry nobody . Tus foreign exports of the United States prove the absurdity of the repub lican policy of protection, the great hob by of that parly, if nothing else does. During 12 month we sunt abroad, in round numbers, furm products to the value of (12V0.K),OOO. To consume all thane provision, we would need at leant an Increase of population of .10 000,000, who, if emh family had a garden, could not pon.il lle accomplish it. Hut what would this increase in p ipilatl in di? Our factories, if they ran the year round world literally swamp the mirket with their supplier Machinery has displaced so many hunrtn hniul that, except in flush times, there is not w.jrk enough to go round. The foreign trade of the unprotected f.iruurs U tlirico t!i it of a'l our others industries combined, and wei e It not for that trade agriculture in this country would bo ruined. A liberal pol icy therefore that will enlarge our for eign trade is to the interest of the ag ricultural interest, though republican farmers are so blinded by politics that they cannot see the truth. Tn K grand reception accorded the aged General Booth and his ptrty in Portland on Friday lust was indicative of the wonderful success of the Christian work begun by him years ag), singly and alone, In the slum of Ln Ion's East End. An audience of thousands thronged the exposition building to hear him and large mini bum were unuble to gain admittance. The railroads show their appreciation of the great good done by this reformer by free puHsvs and palace cars. Tlio general avoids the total exhaustion this tour might occasion by shaking hands with no one. WHAT DOM IT MEANT Km't ii r Nation about Two Great Fair A want a. A newspaper paragraph denounces as "false" the claim of a banking powder company to an award at the World's Fair. Whom can It mean? Certainly not Dr Price's. Why ? be cause, as the records show, Dr. Price's exhibited, competed and received the highest award, both at Chicago and the California Midwinter Fair. The award in California included Gold Medal. The official examiner pronounced It the strongest, the purest, the most whole some and efficient of all the baking powders. Its litle to confidence is unquestioned. Can it be the manufacturers of a New York powder, fictitiously labelled "abso lutely pure" who are making "false" claims? That would be strange indeed, inasmuch a they were nut even consid ed in the awards . ' Was it Ammonia In the New York powder that prevented its makers fr m competing ? If not what?
