Tho Declaration of Independence was read by Miss Jackson, following which 'Hpn. C. N. McArtlnir, speaker of thoIJouse of Representatives, de livered the oration of the day. ' McArthur's Speech. VJ In hte opening- remarkks, Mr. Mc Arthur told of tho spirit of progress ttwnlcbhas beon tho motive power In all tho stages of human develop ment. Ho declared that this spirit baa guided and directed men of all ages Luther, Rosseau, Gombettl, and William tho Silent and that here In America the sufferings end priva tions of our Re volutin, i.) forefathers produced such loader as Samuel Adams, Patrick Henry and George Washington. Tho progress of the Anglo-Saxon race In Us struggle for Western supremacy was dwelt upon at considerable length, as were the groat qualities of Washington and Lincoln. In commenting upon the events of the Civil War period, Mr. McArthur paid a glowing tribute to the soldiers of the Union Army and their great display of courago and patriotism at Chicamauga, Shllo, Get tysburg, Fredericksburg and Chan vellorsvllle, commenting particularly upon the leadership of Generals Grant, Sherman, Meade and Thomas. Laxity of Politics. The general industrial and eco nomic advancement mado by this . country since the War of the Rebel . Hon was commented upon at some length, but the laxity of our system of politics received a scathing de nunciation. Tammany Hall was flayed alive and the Quay ring in Pennsylvania received similar treat ment. The election 6f Lorlmer to the United State3 Senate was character ized as a "dark and shameful page In history," Tho speaker plead for more Interest In public service by the In telligent and patriotic citizens of the country who .have neglected their civic duties in the great struggle for wealth and social position. He pleaded for practical reforms In the interest of the honest, intelligent and loyal people of the nation the people whom he characterized as the "bone and sinew of tLe country." Popular Government. In commenting upon conditions that exist In the state of Oregon, Mr. McArthur seld: -, "In tho working out of practical reforms and in the conferring of law making power upon the rank and file of tho electorate, thero Is always that grave dancer of strong reaction that bodes no good for tho perma- , nency of our government. In our own state we havo witnessed sweep ing changes that have placed great power In the bands of tho people and put out of business tho erstwhile po- lltlcal boss. There is a tendency, however, to overwork both the Initia tive and referendum and to brand our magnificent commonwealth as a laboratory for crude governmental ex periments and unsafe laws. The permanency of our system of direct legislation depends upon its wise and not too frequent use. When used for tho purpose of revengo and in the pro motion of private Interests, tlio Ini tiative and referendum will become a curse to the future safety of tho re public Used cautiously and judi ciously these great powers will prove of Infinite value to our people. Let us guard with Jealous care tho groat Institutions of our government, avoid ing both tho dangers of corporate greed and unprincipled demagogy," Tho domngogue, tho apostle of , quack statesmanship, and the agitator who preaches the gospej of discontent, wero alike characterized as undesir able cltlzons and dangerous members of socloty, The spirit of progress and the love pf country wero tho underlying .themes of tho entire oration, and the spoakor frequently admonished his BAidJenco to keep in mind these requi site factors in tho otrugglo for a greater America and a bettor civili zation." piaronco Noo was in Medford Mon 4y from thp ftrm. Ca,ronco has bo (omo a full-fledged fnrmor and finds his health and enjoyment of tho good things of llfo much improved.

Douglas and was the'chlef speaker at the meeting of welcome extended Dougllas by Chicago in 1S60. When Mr. Fuller was appointed to the highest judicial position in tho nation the subject of his partisanship came up. A Democratic president (Cleveland) was in office and ho was expected to appoint a Domocrat. Pres ident Cleveland closely studied Full er's political career and announced that Fuller was not too partisan and thereupon appointed him. Well Informed Man.
