The approaching political season is crowding more and more upon the attention of everybody, tthe editor included. Rut it shall not prevent us from having an easy, social chat with our readers upon matters where weean mote nearly rgree. We too often neglect our social dultes. The meeting for social converse, if it is only between two persons talking pleasantly over the front gate, does much to soften the asperities caused by business frictlonsand the harsher and more embittering feelings en gendered by political strife. So the little social gatherings of a few families, where even cards are allow ed, aud so serious a subject as religion is never mentioned, still c.irry with them a refining and elevating iullucNce, not perhaps of the highest order, but one without which society would much Miller and life would be that much harder aud our relations to our fellowinen that much more unfavorable. You cannot feel towards the man you meet socially, no matter what lesion there be in his conduct, or what shortcoming there may be in his business habits, as you would had you never met him in a social way under a hospitable roof. You are not going to draw the terrible lino of party discipline against n man whom you have learned to k iow at the whist-table, any more than you are against tho brother you attended the same pr.iyer-niei'tlng with. Wo are not to compare tho latter with the form er for a moment, but, so far as their civilizing and softening and relin ing influences go, It is not safo to ig nore the former because we believe in the latter. The highest ideals sire not attainable In any walk of life, but we must not the less sacred ly stri e after them and aspire to them becau&o we recognize tho in evitable and are willing to accept t lie good there is in all things. There is a sicrcd mission in the faith ful performance of our social duties. The active, busy, bustling, tireless little woman who works-from morn ing till uight, c oklug, baking, pre paring for the houseful of guests that are coming that evening, planning how they shall bo seated, that each may have an agreeable neighbor, decorating her curtains with bits of green, setting a rose here and a boiujuet there, her face aflame with goodness and every word wreathed with a smile, while my lord the head ot t lie lioii-e is taking it a great deal easier we say this genius for outer talumenl of friends, or even hospi tality to the stranuers in tho city, is a sacred gift to humanity to be chctislied aud respected, and in its way a humanizing aud evangelizing influence, which blesses tho world. Some friend in the pulpit may dis Hiit from this but he should re member that it Is after all only one expression of the mighty truth that he is preacnlng, and one of the results ofa Christian civilization that he is laboring to make still more perfect. He should not draw imelt and say, of any social amu-e-ineut or recreation that is not upon its face branded with Harmful Influences, this is the work of tho evil one. The devil has a way of labelling and claiming his own that leaves no one In doubt, wIiokc e es are at all open. All the evangelizing and leformatory work Is not coulliied to the walls of the church, tho' It starts from there in tho tlrst instance. Theiearo many minions of kindness aud mercy carried on, that the church never hears of, and by thone who are count ed out of her fold, that are none the Usth'j work of the Master and put formed by his children. The talent of good neighborhood ami truu hospitality are Chrlstiuti grace, and a kind heart is the hih-1 est cmbodliui-iil of Christian virtue, no ma tier where found.

To a certain extent they arc present or absent even in uewspaper work. Tho true journalist will over strive to uplift and ennoble humanity. It Is his highest mission. There Is n sacreducss about the interests of hit inanity that causes all other subjects to dwindle into significance. There. is mystery about tho great untouch ed masses of mankind,that we must all feel that somehow orotherwearo not In communion with, that catisesa feeling of longing to reach out and do something for them. How feeble and little wo feel In the presence of the unseen multitude of human be lugs that we must know exist and struggle and sufler as wo do, and yet wo cannot extend a hind to them if we would. How It Inspires us to get upon a broader foetini: and reach out toa wider circle and wiy within ourselves, "As far as I am able I will sympathize with all hu manity. They shall know that ono heart beats In response to tho un known and unseen beings that like myself need aud feel tho want of love aud kindness. No human be ing, however low or trodden to earth, shall be out of tho pale of my sympathy and interest." You may say: "What is this? Are you a universallst? Of what g.)od this sympathy for people whom you do not know and who will ncjer realize the Interest you feel In them ?" Oh, for the good it will do your self, get into the attitude of universal friendliness and love for your fellowinen. It will broaden your llfe,8o happiness in your cold, narrow, contracted aud selfish heart, and wreatho your face in Millies for every human being you meet. It will make you kinder to your own people, a better neighbor anil citizen. There is a deep truth in abroad spirit of love for all hu manity. There is a sweetness and light pours out of this well of hon est, hearty good-will toward man kind that shows us that It is ono of the living waters of life. We can not tifl'ord to despiso any of tho ele ments of human evangelization. We cannot afl'ord to placo ourselves in an attitude of hostility toward a tingle human being. HATIF1CATIUN MKKTIXIi. Speech liy tho ItqniMiriin Candidate fop Governor. The republicans of Portland held a ratification meeting Thuisday evening and the Orcgonnm has this report of HON. J). V. TIIO.Ml'SON'a ADUltKSS. When the chairman Introduced the next speaker, Hon. I). P. Thom pson, as the next governor of Ore gon, a storm of applause arose that fairly shook the building. Even tho baud chimed in to swell the unanimity of the ovation, aud it was several minutes before the speaker could say a word. After the wild outburst of applatiso sub sided, Mr. Thompson said: "The democratic pany of Oregon seems to have adopted a now watch word. You hear them talk about it In their state convention, small knots of politicians discuss it on the streets. It la th'j simple question water. All know what It means, and as I had something to do with it in self, I will explain Its Mgulfl cauci 'The Hull Run water bill mh intro duced in the last session of the legis lature, had some objectionable features, which I attempted to have removed. I said then, that if I was not successful in my efforts, I would vote for the bill anyhow, I did vote for it, and I vjted for It six times. Applause. I was present at every meeting and voted, and all knew how I voted." The speaker then explained in de tail the oareur ot that bill hi both houses of the legislature, show lug the exact stand he took at each time it was voted on. a rituu intiiHjj:. Having disposed of this much talked of water cjucMtlou, the speak- erct tinned: "I'Iktc is another mutter of groat Importance I will touuh on, Thruo 'yea -Hag the legislature p.is-wd a bill .ru. Iilluu for the building of a bridge aero the Willamette In this city. O -veruor Petitioner vetoed the bill. The Portland board of trade sent a committee, of which I was a member, to Salem to 8eo If the bill could no passed over tho governor's veto. We succeeded, and tho result you nnw seo In tho beautiful Iron bridge which sp ins tho river. If the people of Oregon want a freo bridge, I will say this, no obstruction will bo thrown In tho way by1 a veto of mine, if elected to tho ofllcoof governor." "rfalcm Is good enough for lis." Wc have been and arc now freo to acknowledge that Salem Is not tho only town on the Pacific slopo in which it Is safe to make invest ments, but wo do contend that none prcs-ciits a safer invest ment or a surer profit than Sa lem, and that Salem Is al9 ilutoly free a3 yet of that crazy speculative fever which calls forth additions on worthless and inaccessible ground from oue to ten miles out, and which Is characteristic of boom I owns. Salem Is a town possessed of true merit aud does not have to beheld up by flash literature. She Is a homo and educational center, for factories and mills of all kinds, and Is backed by allo'tiatmc's own. She Is tho state capital, sho will have ono or more new lines of roid this year and she will continually grow until sho is eventually a city of 10,000 to 50,);K) inhabitants, i.irr tiu: oom:nmi:nt ow.v the locks. "Another matter that Is Industri ously being circulated for political elFect is this: The democrats say 1 do not seek to be elected governor for the honor there is In it, but that I have tho locks to sell at Oregon City, out of which I desire to make money. "In reply, I will say this: I do not own a dollar of stock In the Ore gon City locks, and moreover, I am in favor of tho government owning the locks and not tho state. Let the government have control, for It is a matter that tho stuto should leave entirely alone." On closing ills remarks tho speak er casually ixferred to tho action of Governor Penno.ver in sending con gratulatory, telegrams to Orover Cleveland, on tho delivery of tho Southern battle flags. "If elected," said he, "I hope It may never bo said that I was the 1 ist governor In the North to endorse this action of tho democrat io admlulsi ration." "Ho! John Morgan, whar you bin? Say! John Morgan, where you gwlue? Out on the Garden road?" "None yo'r blssnes-i whar I bin. Needn't axe this nlmrah whar I'so gwlue, out on the Garden road." Don't rush about It, gentlemen, but soniu lino morning or evening when you are out. for n di Ie, Just go out on "D" street In Engluwood to l"ih, there turn north aud go to the Gar den road, follow this up past the John Wright purchase, and as much fu rtiicr as you pleaso. If you are not convinced that this is the prettiest, healthiest and best locality about Salein, call at our ofllce and file your objections. Salem Land Co., Postolllco block.
