l'lii.iricAi. reforuiH depend on the
average voter, who always forms the
lurgo majority. The farmer, as a class,
is the representative average voter. He
in coiiserv.it ive in hia political opinions,
clinging lo his party w ith great tenacity,
oven if Ids political loyalty bo used by
the b n-sos of his party to rob him, as ft
often is. No political reform can be ac
complished until the fanners have
adopted it. When the farmers have
well burned the lesson th.it the repub
lican party is dominated by their natu
ral enemies, the plutocrats and monop
olists, they will kill it, and unless the
democratic party is a zealous exponent
of ballot reform, lurid' reform, civil ser
vice reform, and whatever other reform
is needed to j;ivo tho musses nn equal
chunci! A'ith the cIiishch, it too will per
ish, mid oii'bt to. No patriot can main
tain that parly loyalty is nhovo loyalty
to count i y anil humanity. Anv politi
cal parly that riot with corrnptionisls
as tliu republican party does now, will
surely wreck the country if it continues
in power.
Tim n cent action ool the police judges

deposit for their release I0U in cush or
to give bonds for li'iO. This secures tlio
payment of a lino of ut least $100. Here

Increased l.'i i per cent, since 1870, while
the population of the state has only in
creased tin Per cent., and asks. "Why
is Massachusetts going crazy?'1 For
unswer it oilers a variety of questions.
"Is it crunkisin, new-fiingled religion,
philosophy, theosopliy. u monotony of
cheap culture, the decline of marriage,
or tlie inheritance ol it morbid and de

whv cannot the county grant the same
privileges and resiiiclions as the cities,
and iheri-by derive a handsome revenue
from taxation T
"While I am perfectly satisfied that
the county commissioners have a perfect
rigid to uruiit the sumo privileges that
a corporate city lias on its public high
way, ami I am also satisfied that it
would lie a great adviinlage, so fur as
00 foot roads are concerned, to have s
motor lino on every road in the county,
ut tlie same time, ufler reflection, know,
ing the county roads of Clackamas as
well as I tin, I think it would hu the
dearest Mud bud a company could build
on, except in places w here it could not

road a third longer to any given point.
They would have to keep up both their
own and tlie county road, and keep it
wide enough for teams lo pass in all
places; widen and grade down hills and
make wide crosswuys; whereas a motor
could bo leveled up by narrow and high
tresllu work, mid tto straight to its des

ers would be thnt each one would wnnt

they would coino on llieir line, as they
would not be half so hard on n bridge ns

huve to contribute to the keeping up of
such bridges.
"In conclusion allow me to say that I
hiivo no interest in any corpora
tion ami never expeca to have,
hut I do believe that electric mo
tors in the near future will almost do
away with wagon mads, except, in side
lilies. Yet I would give quite a subsidy
for a motor from Harlow's station to tits
.Soda spring:, Vnd I "believe lialf the
money in hind subsidies could be raised

Soutliet:. and Northern War Prisons.
In un article published in Delfurd'i
Maiinzine for January from the pen of
Jelferson Davis on "Audersonville and
Other Wur Prisons," he refutes the be
lief so ciiiiiiuoij in the .North thnt tho
confederates, were painstaking in re
lentless cruelty to federal prisoners, but
that, on tho coiitrurv, neither the Buffer
ings nor tlie nmrlulity Htnong the fed
eral captured soldiers in confederate
piisous, were so great as the sufferings
uud mortality Htnong tho confodeiute
prisoners in federal prisons. The article
suvs:
It must bu conceded that tho North
ern stales uru inoio generally healthy
than tliu Southern. Then, with equal
melius mitl cure iu providing for tho
prisoners, it follows l lint the rate of
mortality should huvu been us the sal
ubrity ol the coiiutiy. It may be pre
sumed tout ull weru 'on duty' when cap
tured, and the average of the wounded
uiuong the prismieis about tliu same;
therefore that all weiu iu u cmidiliou to

tho result? According to tlio reports id
thd I'nited States wur department the
relative numbers of prisoners uud deaths
weru in round numbers:
United States prisoners belli by
the confederacy 270,000
Confederate prisoners held by
the United Stales 220,000
United States prisoners died in
confederate hands 22,000
Confcrute states piisotiers died
in United States bunds 20,000
"From this it appears that the con
federates, with mi excess of 60,000 pris
oners, hud 4000 fewer deoths. This
should not huvu been the case if tho
means of providing for Ihetu had been
equal ; but ill every material rwspect
lit food, in clothing, in shelter, tu medi
cine, in surgical instruments, uud nil
which free commerce contributes the
North had greutly tho advantage. Only
one element remains to account lor the
dillereuce care for the ilefeuseluss ; and
this, in (lie dc tits of our destitution,
never ceased, us the world will appre
ciate whenever impartial history skull
render the justice which contemporary
prejudice and passion have denied."
Mr. Davis briefly reviews tho differ
ent and earnest elforts be made to ex
change prisoners, anil even to permit
the medicines needed to treat federal
prisoners to he introduced, solely for
their use and in charge of federal audits
who should distribute them; and ht
tells how every otrer was rejected even
the petition of a committee of Anderson,
ville prisoners who were paroled to go
to Washington to present their com
plaints, at the reutiest of tbe prisoners
themselves.

A FUNERAL DISCOURSE.
She Sleeps the Sleep of the Just, and her
Spirit It with Cod.
The following discourse was delivered
by lie v.J. .U. DjiiuLIsoii at tho hpisco
pal church on Saturday morning last,
tho occasion being tho lunural of .Miss
Ueiie 1'oUer:
I desire tu say a few words us a tribute
of respect to this solemn occasion, and to
those who aro tlie most deeply Interested
in it.
Wo are met together in the boiisu of
Ood, for tho purpose of expressing our
sympathy with a sadly bereaved lumlly,
and taking part in (lie last religious ritet
over the earthly remains of an esteemed
member of our church, whom It has
pleased (iod, iu his all-wise but hi
scrutuhle providence, to tuke out of this
sinful, stillering world to Wis eternal
rest.
The solemnity of tho occasion Is such
as all must feel, and it is right wu should
feel it, and also gather from it a lesson
us to the uncertainty to ull, of this mor
tal Hie, and tho wisdom of eiulcavorinii
so to live daily, us we shall certainly
w ish we had uono when our lust (lay
comes.
"When the solemn death bell tolls
"For our departing souls."
It is as nutural lo die as to bo born,
and tlie one event necessarily involves
the other. Hut how different tlie feelings
which accompany these events ; tliu one
culling forth our highest joy, the other
our deepest sorrow !
Ami yet death is but tho birth of the
soul, and llm continuance of the life be
gun hero, in such condition ami rdmim
stances us this Ijfo has ipiulified it for.
The birth of the child, winch calls
forth our tendcrest love and joy, is
something wo can see ami know and un-
lorstund ; tint the second birth winch
wo call death is verv dilfurcut, mid here
wo must walk by fnith and not bv sighi.
To those wuo nre destitute of faith in
the future world, a revealed in holy
scripture, by lino who "brought life
ami immortality to light," death must
indeed ever be tlie king of terrors, and
the grave tho end of all hope. For such,
alas I thero is no comfort either in this
life or in tlie next, and the gloom of
fruitless despair is nil thut remains.
liut for those who can ut such a time
lean upon the blessed teaching of Him
who spake a never man spake, who
an believe that Uod is love and wis-
loni, that lie can do nothing unkind or
wrong; who can trust his all-wise provi
dence, ami believe thut all is ordered
lor the es(. to such death has Instils
sting and tho grave its cloom.
The heart will still mourn, the bo-
reitvod will still weep over their loved
and lost ones, for that is natural, but
they will sorrow, not ns those who have
no hope, but as thus who know and be
lieve the meaning of the trite but beau
tiful saying, "Not lost, but gone be
fore." Who would not wish at such a
1 1 mo as this, whstcrur, in different cir
cumstances, ho may have thought or
said to the contrary who would not, at
such a time as this, desire above all
things a fir ib hold of the Chrithn faith,
in regard both t tho departed and the
bereaved? Surely, without such faith
as this, life were iinwottliyof man's in
herent greatness and more than earthly
intelligence, and would be even at the
host hardly worth living and a doubtful
boon. But God. our heavenly Father,
lias completed His design in regard to
tlie crown and glory nf His creation, by
revealing lo us a future wotth striving
for, worth Imping for, wjrth dying for.
In that future life and immortality, made
known to us and Required for us by our
Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, both
(iod and man, all our highest aspira
tions lind place nndsatishiction, ami the
nloryofJ.be future life sheds to tho be
liever iflinlo upon this.
Ami in regard lo those dear to us
whom God has called lo himself, how
pleasant it is to think of those points of
character, uud indications of goodness,
and virtue, ami piety, which rendered
the person lovable here ami fitted for a
place in tlie kingdom of heaven I In tlie
light of religion, still more than in tiie
light of natural affection, such qualities
are cherished and remembered.
Such it is and such it will he, in the
ease of our departed sister. To bu aide
to say ol such, that she was a good
daughter, s loving sister, a true friend,
a devout Christian, is the highest praise
that can be bestowed upon any human
be,iug. You, my friends, who best knew
the deceased, will, I believe, he the llrst
to bestow such a high tribute of praise
upon her memory. And withsuv.li kindlv,
loving thoughts, we resign her soul to
Ood, whilst we do all we can to honor
tlie visible but perishable part, which
still remnius with us.
Ami surely there is a voice which
speaks to us all at this solemn moment,
ami what the Voice says is this: "All
flesh is us grass ami ull the goodliiiess
thereof us tho flower of the Held ; the
grass witlierutM, i lie nower iinietii, nut
tint word ol Hie Lord eiiilureth lor ever.
Should not this thought of life's feeble.-
liens and death's iinuertuititv inspire in!
every Heart the prayer ol tlie I salmist.
"So teach us to nuujoer our days that
we may apply our hearts to wisdom?"
And thus living, and looking for our
own coming chanve, e shall possess our
souls iu Pt'uco, ami be aide with the
quiet contldeuce of the Psaltuist to say :
"though 1 pass through tlie valley
of the shadow of death I will feur no
evil, for Thou art w ith me." Yea, per
chance, we may be able to strike u
higher note, eveu a nolo of triumph, uud
say in the uoble language of the apostle,
whose words you bave just heard lead.
and wbo for himself counted death mil
gain: "Ob death, where is thy sting?
Oh grave, where is thy victory ? Thiinks
bo unto Ood who givuth the victory,
through our Lord Jesus Christ."

the while people of the Southern status

people whose iic'ueneti with tliewt I
great iu everything but politics should
not be nine to divide their vote. No Ml
tie light is thrown on this point by the
testimony that was taken in a local
contest in Little Kock (the Joiies-Ulid

Q.: Who did this talking?
A. : Tlie colored men.

A.: Yes.
(J. : Wind ditl they any?
A. : Thev said that tho cnlored man

Q. : Was there much of that talk

A. : Yes, every whore tliore was plenty

Q. ? Did you hear of it often during the
