Democratic parsimony, luo ap

right. That is tho Democratic
plan for disbursing tho public

HE SEES THE "SU VA TI0X
Our friend, Rev. R. F. iionnoll,
in replying to our criticisms of his
speech in the Nmihwcri Vrwjrcm,
last week shows plainly that helms
(riven up. as untenable, his former
position, and the only one really in
the discussion namely, "that the
prohibition party is a party ol
great ideas." This is tho point
which tho Wjcnt Side said needed
"demonstration." Now we leave
it to the candid reader if he has
"demonstrated." We would - say
so far as Mr. Bonncll's strictures
are concerned, that a mere novice
in exegetics knows that our inter
pretation of the passage "know
ing, therefore, the terror of the
Lord, wo persuade men," is a cor
rect interpretation. The brother
gives this interpretation his atten
tion as a decoy, to keep tho main
issue, which we ask him to demon
strate from sight. Tho gentleman
says:
- Yes, law is a terror, but always
to tho evil doers; and unless the
evil doers, and haply be found to
iigut ngninst Uotl, it will cease .to
pervert the twichtugn of Hod's word
tor the solo puriHwe of giving ahl
and comfort to the manipulator of
the leglaiaed saloon.
Thiuk of It, "Wants to be
classed wlthevU doom," Ry whom
classed! Ry tho ndhoreut of the
prohibition party. Think of it
ftgalu! If we were in low we
would bo ''classed with evil doers''
by !HS2 out or 404,81 , Totei;
and in about tho same proportion
in every other state and territory
in tho rultd Sttttea. If you were
to go to Iowa to day would you x
lHHtto fliuUIIUi good Christian
people of all names and order
among tho tHUl Prohibit ion-party
voter, or would yon look for them
among tho 414,874 voters of the
IHuuoeratioaud Republican parties!
Any man not purbliud with preju
dice cause, where tho good people
are. The mainjpoint is, If you do
not fall lu with the Prohibition par
ty and with tho "great ideas' which
it enunciate then you are a whis
ky man, an associate ot "evil
doers," "fighting against God,"
"giving comfort to tho kgallxed
saloou," etc, etc, M iMtsilMw, ml
jkim.wmw, Tho spirit which inr
vades the Prohibition party is one
of force, not persuaslou. Tho per
versiou of tho spirit of (Christianity
is its great mistake. Francis Mur
phy is uot likwl by tho Prohibition
party, tHcauso his doctriue is Scrip
tural, his practice that of persua
sion. Mr. Murphy has m'laiitKHl
more tuen from their cups and
made moro happy homes in Amer
ica, than all the advocates of the
Prohibition party ever did, all com
bined. Our good friend, liro. Iwu
noil, says, in closing, that
A good sbed congrtvutional bee

dosoinevery wickwl things.
Wo really thiuk so, too. Rro.
M. V. Rork Is acaso in jwiut. II
we are iueluded in tho allusion
above, wo have ouly to say that the
aspirations and expectations of our
"congressional hew" is on a par with
the hope of success of tho Prohibi
tion party in Orcgou. In other
words, wo expect to get to congress
as soon as Mr. M. V. Rork. We
also think that an inordinate: desire
to air one's political viewsisacauso
of "good men sotueliuics doing
some very wicked things,' and is
a more fruitful source of "doing
wicked thiugs" than tho hnwing
of "congressional IhW in Un

our brother will see tho "situation,'
and stick to his text of "great ideas,"
and writedown a few for wayifurd

WOLFEXBAROEIt AM)
ISA
t'CA"
Theso two noted prohibitionists
held a mass meeting in the opera
hoii.se ut Monmouth last Tuesday
evening. Tho house was jammed
aim me spine 01 mo oceasiou was
at Hood tide. The songs of Mr,
Hacking were simply Immense.
His solos, ami duets with Mr
W'olfcnbarger, were abovoordiuary
to "point a moral or adorn a tale.
Mr. olfeubarger is a very lluent
speaker, but decidedly verbose, es
pecially so in relating an anecdote.
His arraignment ofthe McKluley
bill was severe and masterly, for
said he, "I was an editor of a Re
publican newspaper, and studied
closdy the tariff for sixteen years.
and finally reached the conclusion
that the tariff robbery, and espo
cially the MuKiuley slxly-per oent
bill, is tho most nefarious piece of
legislation which has been imposed
upon any people during the nine
teenth century." The sneaker
hates the Democrats, and said there
wits but lit tle difference between the
country going to the dogs or to the
Democrat. Mr. Wolfeubargcr is
certainly correct and consistent
when he says that his mission is to
tight for Prohibition ouly, with
out any alliances with other reform
measures. If tho prohibition par
ty stands for anything, it must
siand for that, and that only, since
all other parties have refused to
adopt it as a plank in their plat
forms. The moral effect of those
Prohibition meetings Is good, but
their political affranchisement is
rather Utopian, and scarcely within
the pale of possibilities. The
speaker of the evening showed con
clusively why tho ltopublicans
should abandon their party and go
elsewhere, and ho also showed as
conclusively why the Democrats
should remain in their party to
serve tho people in this day and
generation. With the solitary ex
ccption of one point (that of prohi
bition) the speaker showed that the
Republican party was guilty of fas
tening and perpetuating tho untold
evils of bad government upon the
people; and we make bold to say,
that every reform measure which
he advocated, from tho beginning
to thecloscof his two hours' speech,
(prohibition excepted,) were the
selfsame and identical measures of
relief which the Democratic party
has demanded and petitioned for,
for lo these many years. Every re
form measure that is practicable or
worth the name, is today to be
found enunciated by the Demo
cratic party. This is the reason
tlw lHmocn.ta do not go 0r
strange gods, because In tho main
they are right, and their concep
tion o( a free republican govern
ment is the best evec, offered to
mankind. While iorfoctlou Is not
to lo found In any form of govern
ment, the tolling millions are look
lug for relief to that party that was
born in tho house of tho desars,
and that great. Democratic Idea
of decent ml beat lou touched the
monarchy of Roniej and as the
rolling years came on, intelligence
deepened, mental horlsous were
broadened, and as a glorious result,
tho republics of all Uie earth to day
are the dlssldcrata of all well gov
erned people. America Is in the
lead, and "America for Americans'
Is our motto, with an opjmrtunlty
to compete with earth's babbling
millions, Unit we may give thciu
broad.
ruxcnuK run hvimlk.
Several Deuiocratlcjonruals seem
to think that Hill, of New York,
said an Impressive thing the other
day when he remarked: "Other
political parties coins and go, but
the Democratic party is for ever
and ever." This, in fUct, is alxmt
the worst thing that can te said of
a political party. U is, in ellcot, a
confession Unit il has in it no germ
of proureaa, that It is Itit nimble of
development into any of the higher
or better forms of notion and life.
To that man who foolishly boasts
that his party is"for ever and ever,"
it may properly be answered) "So
is hell. ' The party that la iuca
liable of change has no moral organ
ism. It is a thing of negation aud
obstruction. All things change
except the worst of things. They
are stationary always. Attheheuu
of the list Is hell. Reed, of Maine,
made a bright answer the other day
to Mill's remark. Hosnid: "There
never was a time when the 1 Vino
erotic party was not shouting, 'For
Owl's sake let us get back to yester
day. We would like to go back
1800 veara. but we can't do that
we know we can't; but let us repeal
something; let us undo something
that it has taken years of toll to (it
let us make the world a little less
civlllxedthan it was.' Nothing
could better exprwM (he character
of the Democratic party during
forty years than this happy an
swer to the stupid bouvt that the
Democratic party has in it no pi in
ciples of progress, and t herefore
liever can chauge. OrrtjimUtu,
II ill's statement Is correct. "The
Democratic party Is for ever aud
evr." It is uot a stagnant party
but Is a party that is continually
adapting itself to the growing exi
genclesthnt must arise from such a
complex government as ours.
ttchangea Its attitude to surround
ing emergencies, and rises to meet
them. Its fundamental laws have
uever changed, and never will. Its
autonomy is to-day what it was lu
the days of Jefferson aud Jacksou.
No inanition in tho Democratic
party. Aud besides, has not the
erudite editor ofthe Qrrgmia time
and again showu that the policy of
the Democratic party is not what It
once was, or what it was only a few
years ago! There is no U'tter wit
ness than the files of the Qrrgon'M
to prove that the Democratic party
is one of chajigc; ami so it ought to
tie, aud so it Is. Hence, Mr. Scott
in the above editorial, proved too
lunch, and breaks down his own ar
gumenr. He takes the position
that the Democratic party does not
change, and yet he has proven
thousand times that it docs change;
and then he, rather irreverently,
sneaking of a place that he does
not believe exists, says, Ko is hell."
Why not say, 80 Is heaven! Heav
en never changes, any more than
hell. Roth have always been there,
injour recollection. Tho truth is,
the Omjim'mn sometimes gets a sour
stomach, and then it belches forth
a few puffs of sophistry, highly
tainted with a vituperative gaseous
overflow of hate, which gives it
consequent relief. Mr. Rood, of
Maine, did not make a "br'ght an
swer" to Mr. Hill. Nothing is
"bright" that docs not contain truth
When any party lieglns to feel
symptoms of decay, its stomnch
is affected first, aud it is soon dis
cemnble by tho sour breath it
emits, to wit, tho above breathings
of Messrs. Scott and Rood.
