Mc BRIDE Written by E. H. Ktioo The writer enjoyed to a consi derable extent the ptrsonal friendship of George W. Mc Bride, who died at Portland on Sunday last. The news columns of the Oregonian gave a fair synopsis of his life and achieve ments, and the editorial, proba bly written by Mr. Piper, does ample justice to his character as a man. In one sense his death is not to be regretted, because he had, owing to constant sick ness, outlived the enjoyment of life and hope of future useful ness. St. Helens was the home of his young manhood, and his career here, as a private citizen and struggling business man, was quite as creditable to him as any honor of his after life. The people loved him liecause he was one of them and sympathized with them in all their troubles. No one ever applied to him in vain for any assistance in his power to render. Repeatedly, to his own financial disadvantage, he broke the rules of strict bus iness in order to extend credit to his neighbors, and thousands of dollars of accounts were cancelled by him rather than to resort to legal processes of collection. A more perfect gentleman, in the full sense of the word, we never met During the years of our former residence in St. Helens the McBride home, postoffice and store stood where the Morgus buildings are now located, and the older residents of the com munity can bear testimony that it was, the home of true hospita lity and refinement. Friendships were made there that stood the teat of time, and the influence of its social gatherings were of in calculable benefit to the commu ni ty. As to his ability, it is certain that very few men ever fought their way upward against greater obstacles and yet retained the integrity of character and seren ity that seem to us attributes of greatness. Within the space of twenty years he was Speaker of the House of the Oregon Legis lature, twice Secretary of State, and for one term United States Senator for Oregon. During a great part of his term as Secre tary of State he was confined to his bed and conducted the affairs of that office while often suffer ing intense pain, and his election to the office of United States Senator was achieved while la boring under such difficulties. He was not an orator but he was a profound student, and no man Oregon ever sent to the United j states senate had a better un derstanding of the great political questions of the day. His ability was at once recognized in that body, and he wa3 given commit tee appointments very seldom ac corded a first term man. The writer sorrows over the suffering and sickness George W. McBride was compelled to en dure. The ways of providence are inscrutable; but we know that he had supreme confidence in the existence and goodness of his creator, and we believe he did not live in vain and that he now lives where bodily infirmities are unknown and where there is ! a reward for a Hfe lived to the best of one's ability. 1 NOTICE The garbage wagon will make a round of the city on Monday, June 21th, and will be at work until the city is cleaned up, making the rounds there-after once Hch week.
