Who Enjoy a Happy Time, and Tariff Talk with Popnlar Amusements. Mix The picnic given by Co. I at Macleay on Saturday wna a bloom t ,i inriw sized success. A love- i..,inv in June was propitious to ...i.. mairinir. and a drive of .!i.t,n(a over a cood road -was real exhilarating. $ Everybody in town who owned or could procure a vehicle turned out to the festivity, ami during the forenoon the road tween the two points presented . .,imnfod annearauce. Visitors frnm the surrounding country also gathered to the ground, and during the afternoon wneu iuu tjuuoia uu all gathered there must have been fully 3,000 people assembled. The day was perfect, the grove was just adapted for such ft holiday gather ing, and Co. I had provided such varied amusements that time did not nail. About 11 o'clock, Capt. a fipoupr. who acted as master of ceremonies, introduced Prof. G. M. Lane, who had consented to give the opening address. This was listened to by a largo crowd, and was characterized with this eminent speaker's appropriateness of senti ment and facility of expression. This was succeeded by one or two airs from the Silverton Trombone Band, which discoursed excellent music during the day. Then followed somejoratorical exer cises by the school children, several adults taking part, which were well . selected and very creditably given. Dinner was then announced, and the large crowd repaired to their re spective lunch baskets, the refresh ments were spread on the grass, and several hundred happy parties were soon discussing the good things pro vided. Those unfortunate bachel ors who were there unprovided, were hospitably cared for by the people of Macleay, and no one was allowed to go hungry. This writer partook of the hospitalities of Capt. Gesner and wife and fared bountifully. Towards 2 o'clock an audience gathered in front of the speakers' stand, and Judge J. J. Shaw, of Salem, was appointed moderator. The object was to give the county delegates a chance to bo heard. Mr. T. L. Davidson (democrat) opened the symposium, who gave his hearers a sensiblo fifteen minutes' talk on the wool tariff. He gives the number of sheep in the country at 45,000,000, and 60,000,000 of people wanting clothing and blankets. Tho protective policy he pronounced an unwise one,- because it compels our farmers and manufacturers to sell in a free trade market and buy in a protected one, where there is ft discrimination of 47 per cent against them. There aro three quarters of a million tenant farmers in this country, and the farming interest was steadily going down. Mr. James Annstrong, (republi can) was tho next speaker. He said there were three parties on the tariff question. One who, like Henry George and his followers, wanted to pull down our custom nouses and nave free trade with all the world. A second party who would tax a few imported articles for revenue purposes only; and a third party who wanted protection. u was not tliere to argue lor a wool Jdigarchy. Ho noticed that the hop growore were now bestirring themselves with a demand for a pro jective duty of 25 cents a pound on their product. Thero was no doubt Jeal in this, but a zeal not accordlug knowledge. The speaker gave hla hearers quite a lively republican talk. Prof. T. C. Jory (prohibitionist) next called to tho stand, who U the real Issue before tho country was not tariff but prohibition the home against tho saloon. The talk that we listen to on all hands Is not hout the protection of labor, but Jhe protection of capital. Tho In terest of the people was subordinated to that of the governing class. The Professor then read tho prohi state Pwtfonn, and commented on Its veral resolutions at eomo length. These speakers were succeeded by ) H. Downing,John MInto, T. W. "ayenport, who set forth their views democratic, republican and Prohl n succession. These were acuta fol lowed by Chfls. Miller. T. T. Gear nd W. T. Van Sooy, who In turn appearance to While tho talking was going on a spirited game of base ball was being played by the Willamettes of Salem and tho Chemawn club. It lasted about 1$ hours, and was watched with great interest, by a large con course of spectators. A number of couples stayed on the ground for a dance in the evening, aud this exer cise was kept up till the witching hour of night. The day was very heartily enjoy ed by tho thousands of persons who took part in the festivity, and the officers and men of Company I are to be complimented for the success ful entertainment they gave. The best of order prevailed; no strong liquor was allowed on the ground, and no sign of inebriety were seen. This mixture of politics with holi day mnKiug is quite an agreeable combination. folk County rolltlcs. Hon. J. D. Lee, of Dallas, late state senator from Polk county, was in the city this morning, on his way to Stay ton, In this county, where ho will discuss tho political issues of tho day to-night, and to-morrow. A Jouknal reporter found Mr. Lee at the Chemeketc hotel this morning, and, in reply to his In quiry concerning the general out. look in Polk county, Mr. Lee re plied that he thought it very good. "Of course," said he, "we can hardly tell what tho third party may do for or against us. It is ft doubtful quantity, but I don't think they are drawing much from our ranks." "What do you think of tho out look for tho legislative ticket," was asked. "I think our nominees aro very strong men," he replied, "and I think their chances are good. The democrats are making an extra ef fort in favor of Seal's for senator and Walker for representative, though." It was learned from other sources, fully reliable, yesterday, that the democrats had decided to trade every other ofllce in that county for these two candidates. Tho prohibi sionlsts, too, aro making a particu larly strong fight against the repub lican nominee forstatc senator, Hon. E. T. Hatch, but how they they ex pect to help the cause of clean gov ernment, and temperance by defeat ing him, Is hardly evident. The republicans, being forewarned, how ever, are armed for the fray in good style, and will use, their utmost en deavors, to elect the full ticket there. A Case for the Police. That mob, misnamed tho "salva tion army" has moved its den from the old M. E. church building, back of tho city jail, to the C. P. church on High street, though why they should be allowed to disgrace a place dedicated to tho worship of the Christ and God Almighty is not known. Their first "halleluiah" there, occured on Saturday night, and the decent people who live with in a radius of two or three blocks of there, are tired of it already. On Sat urday night, the whole mob gathered in front of old man Long's house, on Church and Marion streets, the Long family being pillars and main stays of the organization he, and a terrible row and racket was kicked up. It was thought that blood-shed would bo tho outcome of the distur bance, from tho way tho air was filled with profanity and abusive language. Then yesterday after noon and last night, the discordant sounds of a bass drum aud tambour ine, mixed with the cracked voices of the "hallelujah lasses," as they term themselves, and their follow ers, was enough to shame "pando mondlum" Itself. Tho people af fected by their change of base will not tolerate this noisy gang very long at its now quarters, and they should be arrested for disturbing the peace. Salfra's Loss la Albany's Gain. Mr. Mount, brother of H. D. Mount, informed a Jouiinal re porter this morning that the chair factory would bo rebuilt at Albany instead of Salem. This Is because Albany wanted to add one to her already largo list of growing enter prises, and made these gentlemen an offer that was very satisfactory. While the people of Salem have been looking on, tho city of Albany has captured an enterprise that will give employment to about twenty men. The writer merely mentions this, in order that the business men of Salem may appreciate how valu able is their inaction to the other towns in a matter like this. rcrrtctlu Uap Fllltr.
