OBEGON CITY, JULY 22, 1898. Eev. Sam Jones talks for the good of Boston souls and as certainly fof the good of his own pocket-book. According to the Transcript, "he receives $2000 a month and all his expenses paid." Sam evidently believes in a "free gospal" and well paid preachers; ' ' Patriotism in the United States is not confined to the distinguished individuals, who went to the front in the war in an official capacity. A number of Oregon City boyB enlisted, giving up good positions, and went to" the front as privates. This is patriotism with a genuine ring to it. Never before have the ctass features of the Willamette Valley Chautauqua assembly been so prominently brought out as at Gladstone park during the past ten days. This Chautauqua assembly destined to become a grand summer school in the future, and students from every section of the Northwest will gather at Gladstone park to hear words of wisdom from the greatest instructors in the land. With these things will come the beautifying of the park, and with its location and delightful surroundings, will possibly become a rival to old Lake Chautauqua. The union party in Oregon discovered one great fact as the result of the elec tion, and it is this- that fusion must be very carefully considered if it is to be effective. There is no use to put any thing in the platform upon which all are not agreed upon. The longer the platform the greater are the grounds o objection to it. "Short and Sweet," should be the motto. Neither nartv should seek to force ts peculiar tenets , uoon others. This was done at the Portland convention, and it proved to be a very sad mistake. A short plat form containing something the peoule aie anxious to hear, pleases the peoule every time. These are points which platform makers should pay much at tention to before another elusion. Salem Independent. We notice with extraordinary disgust a statement from some of the eastern papers that Grover Cleveland is again coming to the front as the great leader of the democratic party. This is al1 nonsense. There is only one living man who is entirely and absolutely dead in the United States and that man is Gro ver Cleveland. He wag honored bv the democracy of the United States far be yond his deserts, and he treated the democracy with absolute brutality. He cursed democratic leaders, and he used all the power of his administration to aid in the defeat of the democratic party. His administration was run in defiance of democratic principles, and the heaviest loud the democracy had to carry was that mountain of cussedness, yclept Cleveland. We want no more Clevelandistn. U'ONDKRFUL DISPLA Y PATRIOTISM. OF Henry Norman, commissioner of the London Chronicle, thus discourse on our patriotism t And look at tho display of American patriotism. When the volunteers were summoned by the president they walked on the scene as if they had been waiting in tho wings. They were subjected to a physical examination as searching a8 that of a life insurance company. A man was rejected for two or three filled teeth. They came from all ranks of life. Young lawyers, doctors, bankers, well paid durKs are marching by thousands in the ranks. The first surgeon to be killed at Guuntanamo loft a New York practice of $10,000 a year to volunteer. As I was standing on the steps of the Arlington hotel one evening, a tall, thin man, carrying a large suit-case, walked out and got on tho street car for the railway Btation, on his way to Tampa. It was John Jacob Astor, the possessor of a hundred millions of dollars. Theo dore Roosevelt's Hough Kidors contain a number of thesmurtest young men in Now York society. A Harvard class mate of mine, a rising young lawyer, is working like a laborer at the Brooklyn navy yard, not knowing when he may bo ordered to Cuba or Manila. He is a naval reserve man and soul in his ap plication for any post "from the stoke hole upwards." The same is true of women. When I called to say good-by to Mrs. John Addison Porter, tho wife of the secretary of the president, whose charming hospitality I had enjoyed, Bhe 1 1 iid cone to Tiuupa to shin as a nurse on the lied Cross steamer for the coast ol Cuba. And all this, be it remembered, is for a war in which the country is not in tho remotest danger, and when the ulti mate summons of patriotism is utv upoken. Finally, consider the reference to the war Joan. A New York syndicate offered to take half of it at a premium which would have given tfie government a clear profit of a million dollars. But the loan was wisely offered to the peo ple, and the small investor gets all he can buy before the capitalist is even per mitted to invest. And from Canada to the Gulf, from Long Is'and to Seatile. the money of the people is pouring in. As I write, it is said the loan will be all taken up in small amounts. It is true that soldiers in Florida should notj be fed on pork and beans, and that campaigners in Cuba should not wear thick cloth uniforms. But while these truths may be remembered, another should not be forgotten that the American people have responded to their country's call with instant and flawless patriotism. THE CHAUTAUQUA ASSEflBLY. Jlost Successful Gathering In Its History. The fifth annual session of the Wil lamette Valley . Chautauqua Associa tion, closes Saturday night with a grand musical concert, and a magnificent dis play of fireworks, consisting of 20 pie ces and including the battleship Ore gon. This has been the greatest of the assemblies held in Gladstone park. Its grand educational work has now reached a permanent systemized stage, and will be the crowning glory of future assemblies. One of the features of the assembly is the variety of class departments. There were at least 600 pupils in the various classes, indicating that the educational feature of the assembly is beginning to be appreciated. Dr. B. A. Heritage has about 100 pupils in bis vocal music classes, and President W, O Hawley, of Willamette university, has fully as many in his American history class. The other classes are also Well patronized, all being free ' to those who attend the as sembly. The classes and instructors are: Physical culture Professor M. M. Eingler; botany.

Many talented orators and entertainers have swayed the audiences from the platform during this Assembly. Hoyt L. Coimry, of Boston, the prince of en tertainers, is a cousin of A. S. Dresser, of this city. " John Temple Graves, of Atlanta, Ga., delivered a lecture last Thursdav even ing on the "Last Hope of the Negro," in which ho contended that the proper solution of the problem, was colonizing the Negroes into one stnte, and giving them their own local government. At the close of Mr. Graves' address, President W.C. Hawley, of Willamette university, offered the following resolu tion, which was adopted amid considera ble applause : "Kesolved, That we thank Mr. Graves for his earnest, fair and plain presenta tion of a very important subject ; that we commend his patriotism, ability and philanthropy, and that we promise to carefully consider the plan presented, and prepare ourselves for proper political action when the time for action conies." The Native Sons and Daughters' head quarters, in charge of Hon. J . C. JLeasure, is also used as headquarters for the pio neers attending the assembly. The fol lowing Native Sons and Daughters have registered at headquarters, giving name, present address, where born and name parents! Elaborate programs have been pre pared for today and tomorrow, Sutur day being "Patriotic Day." There will he grand closing concert Saturday even ing, and a magnificent display of fire work in the evening, consisting of '.JO set pieces. It will rival the fireworks ilili I I disnlfiv in T'nrrlaiid nn tlm Timrtl, f July night. woman's day, Wednesday, was one of the greatest of the Assembly, and the TUB C.IIAOTAUQUA GI11L. The Chautauqua girl is an evolution of the Chautauqua idea at Gladstone Park. She has been undergoing the process of development during the past five annual assemblies, until she is now a distinct creature from her fellow morals. She is usually a school teacher, or at any rate, is studiously inclined, and takes particu lar interest in her favorite classes, and nearly always helps to swell tho lecture audiences in the auditorium . The Chau tauqua girl is not confined to any partic ular residence, locality.' Her home may be in Portland or Salem or among the classic hills of Yamhill and Polk coun ties ; the usually camp in squads of two or three or more, although a few of them board at private houses. They can be readily recognized by the sort of Bos tonian air of intellectuality, and it is be lieved that they have come to stay and usually do stay until the assembly is over. There are about 50 more campers' tents, than at any previous assembly. Following is a partial list of the cam pers : , s CAMPUS Mile3 Delia and Edna RnTtpr.
