ANSWERS TW EED ft LE ? C. A. Barrett Refutes Arguments of Albany Man Regarding State ment No. 1. 0. A. Barrett, Republican candidate for representative from Umatilla couuty. and a strong adherent of State meut No. 1, goat tbe following com mnDioation to tbe Orogonian, bnt pub lication was refused. lie then sent it to Tbe Journal. Mr. Barrett is tbe only Republican candidate for repre sentative in Umatilla county wbo has coine out on a Statement No. 1 plat form. Present indications are that be will be nominated by tbe Republican voters of tbe county. His letter to tbe Oregonian follows: "Atbena. Or., April 4. To the Ed itor of tbe Oregonian It baa never been my purpose to rush into news paper correspondeuoo, espeoially to dis Hertate on political subjects. But when communications like tbat of tbe loHrned and intelligent W. U. Twee duleof Albauy in tbe Oiegoniau of tbe second instant, appear I am somowbat impelled to answer them, bnt at tbe same time beg tbe pardon of tbe lead ing public for doine so. "It has long beeu understood tbat ibe Oregonian is a newspaper of gieat worth, great force, aud it now has a national reputation. In order for this paper to maintain its present and past bigb standard it seems that it should be at least necessary for it to publish nothing misleading nothing but tbe plain, unvarnished truth about great political issues before tbe people, espeoially when suoh issues are based upon law. Of course there is an an cient legal maxim to the effect tbat "iguoranoo of tbe law excuses no one;" however this may te, it is universally uuderstood tbat but few peoplo know the law. This writer does not profess to know it by any means, and it is not tbe purpose of this communication to endeavor to lead anyone to believe tbat be does know it. "But the poiut is this: Tbe learned and scholarly Mr. Tweedale in his com munication has either willfully sought to mislead these wbo may read t.bis ar tioio, or ho has mistakenly placed a construction upon tbe meaning of tbe primary law and Statement No. 1, which, at Hist glanoe, is likely to mis lead many voters. This is too plain for cavil, and tbe Oregonian knows tbat the construction in said ooniuiuu loatiou is not only false and unfounded, but likely to mislead mauy voters; and this Doing so, is it doing right by its thousands of readers to give space to snoh an article? "Tne primary law is plain, but tbe groat majority of people iu Oregon bnvo perhaps never read it, and will never read it, and they depend iipot great newspapers like the Orogonian to give the said law a fair, honest, trnthful interpretation. But here in this instauoe the learned and scholarly Mr. Tweedale tries to make bis readers beliovo that if there are Ave RepnjJi cnu candidates for Uuifod States souu- tor before the ptirnariui), and four of thorn got 1,000 votes ouch aud the oth er 1,500, the one gottiug 1,600 is not the eboico of the peoplo; and tbat sinoe the Democrats have only one candidate uud his vote is 2,500, it would entitle him to he elected United States senator according to Statement No 1. "Nothing could be fart hot from the truth, aud it is so palpable that we are iuoliuvd to say that the assertion is willfully misleading. The faot, under such cirourustauoes, would he that tbe Republican gottiug 1,500 votes would be the Kepublioau nominee at the en suing eleotiou iu June, and tbo Demo crat getting 2,500 votes would te th nominee of bis party. Hence, if the Repullioaue who are true to party want to do so, they can voto for their nouii noo aud give him tbe full 5,500 votes, and be would certainly be "the people's choice." because the Demoorut would only get 2,500 votes. "In this instance tbe result would bo that all Statement No. 1 members of tho legislature would have to vote for t bo Kepublioau candidate for United states senator, and if a majority of tho members of tbe legislature were Htatonient No. 1 men, tbe 'people's entice' would le elected; if the legis lature did not have a majority of Statement No. 1 men tbeu, aud iu tbat event, .the 'people's choice' might not be elected, but instead tho legislature might he tied up for '40 days aud nights' trying to oleot a senator. Therefore Statement No. 1 is the nearest expedient we have for electing to the Unitod States senate tbo 'peo ple's choice.' "If at tbe coming primary election Fulton should reoeive 20,000 votes and Cake 21,000 or vice versa, aud Cham berlain 25.000. it would not follow by any means that Chauiberlaiu would be elected at the Juno eleotiou as tbe "people's choice," beouuse at the eleo tiou Fultou or Cake, whiobevergotthe 21,000 votes, might get tbe entire Re publican vote of 41,000. and thereby be tbe 'people's choice', because Cham berlain would ouly get 25,000 votes. Therefore, when tbe legislature would rueettoeleot a senator, if it bad a ma jority of Statement No. 1 members tbe election wonld be simple and tbe said Cake or Fulton, as tbe case might be declared elected without auy '40 days' of quibbling, bribing aud rascality.

What might be properly called pride, is no doubt, in the way of soul winiiing on the part of tbe Church. And wben I say social pride I do not mean decency, nor good manners, etc but tbat which disregards tbe comfort of another becansa uf superior wealth, intelligence etc. all of wbioh go to evince a want of tbo Christlike Spirit aud shows tbe nuregenerate state of tbe heart. How unlike is tbis to tbe attitude of Jesus towaid tbe poor, tbeuufottunate aud tbe sin-cursed. lie was known as tbe Friend of publicans and sinners and tbe "Common people heard Him gladly." Mark 12, 37. He went Into their homes, talked witb them, ale with them, and helped tbem to a bet ter life, but He was espeoially kind and considerate toward the weak and fall en. John 8, 3-11. From bis preoious aud powerful lips fell (Matt. 23, 12-33) soatbing denunciations of tbe Scribes aud Pharisees who thought themselves too holy and bigb to show any kind ness to weak erring ones, while from bis eyes fell tears of pity, not only for the inhabitants of tbe wicked city (Luke 19, 41) bnt for tbe sin-chained aud sin-cursed everywhere. Shall the Church follow ber Lord, or the Scribes and Pharisees? While Howard Johnston was pastor of a large church in New York City, a poor Magdalen came, one day, to bis study, told him she was tired and sick of sin and tbat she had beeu to several aekiug for help to a hotter life, but they bad all turned ber away. Like bis Lord, be talked kindly to her, and prayed with her aud she gave herself to Christ. He tbeu helped her to a position. But wheu 6ome of tbe fash ionable women of bis Church learned what be was doing they rebuked him and tbongbt themselves disgraced by their pastor having anything to do with a woman of that kind. "Tell it not in Gath, nor publish it in tbe streets of Askelon" (3 Sam. 1, 20) tbat those wbo profess to le followers of the meek and lowly Saviour should dare to re buke a Minister of His for helping the lost and perishing. The blessed Holy Spirit is often grieved by the pride and selfishness of suoh hearts, both men and women, so that tbey cannot be used as the obannels of bis grace. In her early days, Methodism was to the bumble, sin-cursed, aud lost, tbe strong arm of deliverauoe, as in the faoe of opposition, aud ofteu serious and shameful persecution, she, with loving heart and faithful step and great sacrifice, and without retalia tion, so far as I am informed bore tbe palm branob of .Heavenly peace to the poor masses of humanity, drifting down, and away, iu the awf ul dark ness and inoranoe of sin. Shall we lose our crown? O that the old time Jesuslike spirit of loving faithful ser vice for all, might fall speedily upon tbe millions of all brauohes of Christi anity, as well as our own 1 Then tbe monrners cry wonld rise from our al tars and great prosperity would attend onr beloved Zion everywhere. Indifference concerning the condition of tbe unsaved is one of tbe greatest hinderances to revival work on tbe part of tbe Cburoh. Is it not strange that men are always askiug bow is business, bow are tbe folks, how is politics, how is this aud how is that, bow is your dog and how is your oat, etc. etc but very seldom bow is your soul aud what are your prospects for Heaveu. If fasbious, flirting and poodle-dogs were discussed less and soul-wiuniug more in everyday life, by tbe Churoh, we should sooner see a woik of graoe. Olive Sohreiner in "A South Afri can Farm" draws a vivid picture of a little German boy wbo caught a glimpse of souls dyiug. Waking up at midnight, be heard tbe ticking or his fathers watch and remembers what be said the evening before, that with every tiok of the watch a soul goes in to eternity: And it now seems to he saying "Eternity, eternity, eternity." He covered his bead and sought not to think nor hear, but both seemed rather to increase and putting back tbe cloth ing be heard the watoh etill ticking, and now it seemed to tea saying "Dy ing, dying, dying." Then he saw a great dark valley, through whioh was winding a Jong procession of people to ward a very high preoipice, over whioh they were dropping into darkness, one by one, with every tick of tbe watoh. The boy could no longer control bis feelings and springing from bis bed threw himself on hisjface, on the floor, and oried, "O God, save one, save onel" Would to God tbat every pro fessing Christian would have the vis ion of that little boy I For there are so many who seem to have no real con ception whatever of the value of an immortal soul, and do so little to save oue from death.
