XL RICHARD III.
Note. The first installment ol Dr. Parrott'o
paper was published on Monday last.
The Fall of Richard.
Blchard's lall is not brought about by ex
ternal agencies. Like his rise to power, it
is due to his own inner self. So long as
the goal lay before Ills eyes be was master
of himself and all his faculties. The crown
once attained, his passion is sated and a
decay of his powers sets In that hurries
nim to his doom. His headlong energy of
mind gives way, he loses his self-command
and power of dissimulation; he Is no longer
the deceiver, but the deceived. And thl3
inner change takes place at the very mo
ment that he haB reached the goal and
stops beyond it to the perpetration of his
blackest crime the murder of his inno
cent nephews. "When he discloses his pur
pose .to Buckingham and that hitherto
-willing accomplice of his villainy falters.
Hichard cannot conceal his anger. He at
once Insults his strongest supporter and
lets him go untouched to head a rebellion.
This is not the Richard who at the first
sign of opposition swept Hastings to the
iblock. X.ater on, although he suspects
Stanley of being secretly In league with
Richmond, and openly charges him with
treachery, he actually sends the suspect
to levy forces to repel the Invasion the
very forces that iit Bosworth turned the
tide of victory for Richmond.
The fourth scene of the fourth act seems
especially designed to show the decay of
Richard's powers. Externally it is an al
most perfect parallel to the wooing of
Anne. But a careful comparison of the
two scenes convinces ms that we have
here not a repetition, but a contrast In
the first we can see Anne yielding step by
step: in the second, Elizabeth is unmoved
to the very end, and meets all Richard's
pleas with the simple answer: Tou slew
my children." Only when he stoops to :i
scarcely veiled threat against the life of
the princess does she give way. But in the
very next scene we find her pledging her
daughter's hand to Richard's rival. And
oven If the poet bad not given us this plain
hint which, by the way, Colley Cibber
turned into a stage aside at the end of
the wooing scene It is quite Incredible
that at this stage of the drama Shakes
peare would have presented to us in a
weaker form a repetition of the wooing of
Anne. It is the peripetia of the play.
Richard is marching to his doom, his old
powers of mastery and insight Into the
mind are lost, and Elizabeth's feigned
yielding deceives him as he had once de
ceived so many others.
Richard is a. horn soldier; in the soliloquy
that opens the play we seem to hear the
"very god of war breathing forth contempt
for the weak piping time of peace. But on
the eve of his last battle, Richard's soul
Is overshadowed by gloomy forebodings.
I have not that alacrity of spirit.
No cheer of mind, that I was wont to have.
His last sleep on earth is broken by
visions of his murdered victims. We may
pass over the apparition of the ghosts, a
scene so crude and archaic that here, if
anywhere, we might suspect the presence
of a. less skillful hand than Shakespeare's.
But in the soliloquy that follows the poet
displays his full power. Here we see most
clearly the utter ruin of the old self-mastery
of Richard. He starts from a dream
of death "in the lost battle, born down by
the flying," and turns savagely upon him
self: 0 coward conscience, how thou didst affright
me.
In the period of his success it -was Rich
ard's mastery of his conscience that had
made him sa irresistible, but now he is a
house divided against himself, and while
there Is no word of penitence, there Is a
fearful recognition of his lonely state.
1 shall despair. There Is no creature loves me;
And if I die, no soul shall pity me.
Even in himself he finds no pity, and the
ghostly veices of his victims ringing in his
ears frcm the realm of sleep foretell his
doom. Yet Richard is not doomed becaute
he has .such dreams: rather he dreams thus
because he is already doomed.
Only when the trumpets blow the onset
does the old heroic spirit of him who was
once champion of the house of York awake.
His self-confidence returns and he charges
with the cry of victory upon his lips. In
the battle he enacts more wonders than a
man, and when he is overpowered by num
bers he falls with the battered emblem of
royalty about his temples. Even In death
he holds the crown.
A Drama of Historic Xexacsis.
"Richard III," as we have shown, is the
drama of a single character dominated by a
single master pacslcn. But It is something
morethan this. It is the drama of Ne
mesis in history. Evil as Richard is, he is
the instrument of divine wrath, the,
scourge of God upon a guilty generation.
"With but one exception, Richard's victims
are guilty souls, and even the princes
pay the penalty of their father's sin.
Queen Margaret, whose appearance at the
courts of Edward and Richard is, of
course, utterly unhistorical, 5s the embodi
ment and mouthpiece of this spirit of
Nemesis. She appears in but two scenes
in the first to invoke a curse upon the
guilty house of York and its supporters;
in the second to triumph in the complete
fulfillment of her prayer for vengeance.
Her words t the Duchess of York sum
up the historic moral of the play:
Boar with me; I am hungry for revenge.
And now I cloy me with beholding It.
Never had England fallen so low as dur
ing the wars of the Roses. Simple blood
shed and deceits were the slightest of
men's crimes. A shock was needed to
clear the air, and Richard, the incarna
tion of the sins of his age, came like a
thunderstorm upon an atmosphere over
charged with guilt. But when his violence
was passed the judgment of God was ac
complished and a better day dawned for
England. In the marriage of Richard and
Elizabeth the houses of York and Lan
caster were united, and during the reign
of their descendants, England rose from
the anarchy of civil war to the pitch of
pride she held in Shakespeare's day. And
we may well believe that the poet poured
out his own heart in the fervent prayer
of Richmond, with which the play closes,
that God would abate the edge of traitors
and enrich the time to come with smooth
laced peace.
The Text of "Richard III.'
Into the vexed question of the text of
"Richard HI" this is not the place to
enter, but so much may be stated, the
play was first printed as a quarto in 1597.
and reappeared In this form five times
before the publication of the first folio.
All the quartos are based, with a few
slight changes, upon the first, which pre
sents a text much superior to that of the
usual pirated editions cf Shakespeare's
plays. But, on the other hand, the text of
this drama in the first folio varies so
widely from that of the quartos as to
suggest that it was based upon a wholly
different manuscript. The question which
of these represents the authentic work of
Shakespeare has received varying an
swers. The Cambridge editors see the
hand of an unknown reviser in both, but.
on the whole, prefer the quarto text. On
the other hand, the acute Shakespeare
scholar. Spedding, came, after a most
canefut examination of the problem, to
the conclusion that the 'olio text repre
sented the result of Shakespare's own
latest revision Students wishing to pur
sue this matter further are referred to
Speddtng's paper in the "Transactions of
the New Shakespeare Society" (1875-76).

Dr. Brandos' Estlmnte of Richard III.
The Richard of the tragedy is deformed; j
he is undersized and crooked, has a hump
on his back and a withered arm. He Is
not, like so many other hunchbacks, un
der any illusion as to his appearance.
He does not think himself handsome, nor
is he loved by the daughters of .Eve, in
JUNIUS BRUTUS BO
whom deformity Is so apt to awaken that
Instinct of pity which is akin to love.
No, Richard feels himself maltreated by
nature: from his birth upward he has suf
fered wrong at her hands, and, in spite
of his high and strenuous spirit, he has
grown up an outcast. He has from the
first had to do without his mother's love
and to listen to the gibes of his enemies.
Men have pointed at his shadow and
laughed. The dogs have barked at him as
he halted by. But in this luckless frame
dwells an ambitious soul. Other people's
paths to happiness and enjoyment are
closed to him. But he will rule for that
he was born. Power Is everything to him
his fixed Idea. Power alone can give him
his revenge upon the people around him,
whom ho hates or despises, or both. The
glory of the diadem shall rest upon the
head that crowns his misshapen body.
He sees its golden splendor afar off.
Many lives stand between him and his
goal, but he will shrink from no false
hood, no treachery, no bloodshed, if only
he can reach It. Into this character
Shakespeare transforms himself in imag
ination. It is the mark of the dramatic
poet to be always a.ble to get out of his
own skin and into another's.
Questions for Research, and Review.
L Do the incidents of this play seem
to be presented for the sake of the plot,
or in order to exhibit an extraordinary
character?
2. Is Richard's character represented as
developing? Or is it fixed when the play
opens? Does Richard's character, as seen
in this play, fulfill the delineation given In
the closing portion of "King Henry VI,"
part 3?
3. What Is the keynote of Richard's
character? What his chief characteristic?
Is it ambition? Dissimulation? Love of
wickedness for it5 own sake? Artistic vil
lainy? Executive ability misdirected?
4. Has Richard any excuse, true or
false, for his crimes? Has he reason to
hate his victims? What is his supreme
crime?
5. Humor is usually a sign of soul
health. How Is it with Richard's humor?
What effect does his humor produce on
the reader?
C. Does Richard at any time show fear?
Sensibility? Conscience?
7. Does the wooing and winning of
Lady Anne seem plausible or probable?
Do you find it revolting? What does
Richard's success in the wooing of Anne
imply? Granted that act 1, scene 2. does
help the play, is act 4. scene 4, necessary?
8. What supernatural element is there
In this play? What does this element add
to the force of the play? Did Shakes
peare believe In ghosts?
9. Does anything come of Queen Mar
garet's curses? Supposing this curse scene
omitted, would the subsequent course of
the play have been different?
10. Does sufficient calamity overtake
the wrong-doers of the play? Does Rich
ard' pay full penalty?
H. Are all of the Instrumentalities by
which Richard's downfall is brought
about good in themselves?
12. How does womanhood appear in
this play? How does motherhood appear?
13. Consider the minor characters the
murderers, the princes are they carefully
Individualized?
14. Do you find any scenes of quiet, and
relief from Intense action?

SALEM Jan. 23 (To the Editor.) I no
ticed in your issue of recent date the at
tack made upon the Irish people and my
self by your fair correspondent, "English
woman." When I was setting type..ln. a
printing office some"years ago, the"father
of the chapel" had a" maxim, among, tho
many which "he taught, ns, that was al
ways prefaced with language that was
strong and vigorous, which was as fol
lows: "Never fight a fool, or strike a
cripple." I have tried to adhere to this
maxim all through life. As 1 have grown
older I have come to the conclusion that
the above maxim is a good one, and my
mind reverts with pleasure and a feeling
of awe fo the time when the "father of
the chapel." with . a demeanor that put
the young boys in the oflice in fear of
him (although he was. the most kind and
considerate of men), taught up words of
wisdom which I cherish to this day. I
am inclined to 'Indulge In reminiscences,
but space forbids that I should do so.
The gallantry of .my jracc precludes mc I
---eur
from replying to the communication cf
your "Englishwoman," and pointing out
the errors therein contained. The vomen
and children of England are in no wise re
sponsible for the injustice of England in
her treatment of the Irish people. We do
not make war upon them. No matter what
the feelings of Americans of Irish birth
or descent may be against the English
government, English women are perfectly
safe from Insult and harm from them. In
all their contests they have been Imbued
with a spirit of chivalry and honor In
their warfare. D.

ask Attorney-General Griggs to direct that
Indictments said to have been found
against them by the Juneau grand jury
be dismissed. This action was taken at'
the suggestion of Governor Brady, 'who
was recently in Seattle, and not because
any person here has the slightest uneas
iness that serious personal consequences
can or will ensue from the adventure at
Port Tongass last Augvst. Doubtless
the grand jury was Inspired by a spirit
of levity in bringing the indictments, be
cause it appears to be the fact that no
effort whatever was made to obtain the
facts from any of. the Indians said to
have been wronged. The Juneau concep
tion of a joke is not much reiished in
Seattle, however, and it is because the
nine gentlemen do not care to rest under
the charge of grand larceny, however
thoughtlessly made, that they have taken
steps to have the record cleared.- Your
correspondent carelessly speaks of the
purloining of a totem pole, and seems to
imply that the department of justice is
"not disposed to encourage any relief"
for the perpetrators of so wicked a deed.
As I understand the situation in Wash
ingtonand I have been fully advised
the department Is simply reluctant to act
In a matter where It thinks the initiative
Tests entirely with the district attorney
at Juneau. The totem pole was not pur
loined. It was taken openly, from dn
abandoned village, and with no thought
whatever that anybody would ever claim
ownership. All the facts were published
on return of the excursion to Seattle.
Doubtless for political reasons, a great
newspaper controversy arose over the
Indian relic, and the whole matter was
so widely exploited that It reached the
cars of the Indians themselves In Alaska.
As a result, rival claims were put In by
three separate alleged owners for dam
ages! To end the controversy, the committee
having the matter in charge sent an agent
to Alaska. He returned with two In
dians, who appeared to be descendants
of the ancient savage In whose honor the
pole was erected years ago. These In
dians agreed to take J500 In full settle
ment of all claims, ana to give a bill of
sale to the monument. Tho committee,
with their consent, sent the money to
Father Duncan, at Metlakatlah, with In
structions to give It to these two if they
had any valid claim, or to any others
who might establish heirship to the prop
erty. This was two months since. So
far as Is known here, no final settlement
has yet been reached, probably because
Father Duncan cannot easily settle on the
rightful heirs, if there are any such. I
think I do the Indians no Injustice when
I state that they never dreamed the to
tem pole had the smallest monetary value
until it was removed from its neglected
and deserted position at Port Tongass
and erected in Seattle.
If the Indictments were ever returned,
as reported, none of the persons named
therein has ever been officially notified.
The district attorney at Juneau undoubt
edly thought that it would be absurd to
prosecute a charge so little likely to show
that a crime had been committed, or any
person whatever injured, and he has quite
ienslbly permitted the matter to rest.

OKEGOX BUREAU OF MIXES HAS
EE3X INCORPORATED.
New Enterprise Is Under Joint Aus
pices of Chamber of Commerce
and Board of Trade.
The Oregon Bureau of Mines has been
Incorporated ,and the articles were filed
yesterday. Tho incorporators are: L. B.
Cox, J, Frank. Watson, Henry Hahn,
Seneca Smith and J." F. Batchelder. The
new enterprise is under the Joint auspices
of the Chamber of Commerce and the
Portland board of trade, and it is the
purpose of these bodies to lend the bu
reau of mines their unqualified assist
ance and support.
It is believed that the mining interests
of Oregon are 'sufficiently advanced to
make the organization of a bureau of this
class Indispensable. There Is no doubt
that this will be an agency very effective
In developing the wonderful mining prop
erties of Oregon, both locally and in the
way of attracting public attention to their
merits, a matter that has already been
established to be of first-class Importance.
It Is the -purpose of this organization "to
conduct its operations on an absolutely
legitimate and business-like basis. It Is
not proposed to take in hand any prop
erty that will not stand any examination
made by the authorized representatives
of the "bureau and which will not justlfj
a merltoilous report, both as to the in
trinsic value of the property .and tho
state of Its title. Everything in the way
of mfning exploits, the booming of paper
companies and the selling of stock in
Imaginary mines will be absolutely dis
countenanced and strictly forbidden in the
officers of the bureau
It is the Intention of those having the.
direction of its affairs to establish an
Institution which will command the un
qualified confidence of all persons Inter
ested In mining properties and mining
stocks, so that those contemplating in
vestments will feel that anything stated
In this bureau is at least worthy of
serious consideration.
The Incorporators have appointed Judge
Seneca Smith, chairman cf the committee
on mines and mining of the Portland
board of trade, and J. F. Batchelder, chair
man of the mining committee of the
Chamber cf Commeice, to open stock books
and receive subscriptions to the capital
stock of the incorporation. As soon as
the requisite amount has been subscribed,
a meeting will be called for the purpose
of making a definite organization. It is
the intention of the incorporators to ex
tend the Interest In the concern and Its
operations as widely as possible among
people Interested in the mines of Oregon,
and for this Teason they have thought
it best to place the shares of stock at
$10 each. It is believed that the money
derived from subscriptions to the capital
stock will be amply sufficient fairly to
launch the bureau upon Its course of bus
iness, and that thereafter the customary
charges in connection with the handling
of properties and stock, together with the
sale of seats upon the floor of the stock
exchange, will produce sufficient revenue
easily to answer all purposes In support
of the work of the bureau.
The articles of incorporation are ap
pended: Know alPmen by these presents, that we, the
undersigned, do hereby create a private corpor
ation under the laws of the state of Oregon, and
thereabout we do prescribe:
First The name assumed by this corporation
and by which It shall be known Is the Oregon
Bureau of Mines, and Its duration ohall be un
limited. Second The business In which tills corpora
tion proposDa to engage is to act as broker
and dealer In mining properties; to maintain
and conduct a mining etock. exchange, with all
rights and powers which usually appertain to
and are exercised by such bodies; to contract
for, bond, purchase, lease, develop, operate,
hold and sell mining properties of every char
acter; to locate mines and enter claims there
for, and to make application for and receive
patents, for mining properties; to act as agent
and trustee for mlr.eowners In the man
agement, operation and disposal of their
properties; to collect, systematize. pre
serve and disseminate Information and sta
tistics relative to mining properties and mining
interests, particularly within the state of Ore
gon; to collect, -arrange and preserve an ex
hibit of ores and minerals; and to maintain and
conduct a general bureau of Information con
cerning the mining interests of the ptate of
Oregon and neighboring states of the Union, as
as well ns Alaska and British Columbia. The
corporation shall pcesess and exercise any and
all powers which may be found necessary or
convenient for the execution of any and all of
the objects above mentioned, and the scope of
Its operations shall extend to every sort and de
scription of mines, ores, rock, coal and min
erals. Third The principal oflice of the corporation
shall be, and Is hereby rtxed at the city of
Portland, In said state of Oregon.
Fourth The amount of the capital etock of

FARMERS' CONGRESS.
It Will" Offer Chance for a Forward
Agricultural Movement.
"EUGENE, Or., Jan. 22. (To the Editor.)
The chamber of commerce of Salem has
called a meeting pf farmers and all kinds
of farmers' organizations, to be held in
Salem on February 7 and 8. This meeting
should be attended by all the represen
tative farmer of thf etate, who take a
public interest in the welfare of that ex
pensively diversified industry. It Is an op
portunity, as it appears to me, for the
farmers of Oregon to organize a forward
movement that will become an important
and permanent one for the progressive
welfare of every branch of agriculture In
tho state.
Whatever the virtues of the great min
eral resources of our state; whatever the
wealth ol our timber and lumber; what
ever the extent and value o our fisheries;
whatever the great oppcrtunities for the
creation of wealth and progress by the
development of our marvelous manufac
turing possibilities, it must be apparent
to any careful observer that the agricul
ture of Oregon, with all of its branches,
excels In present and prospective value
any of these other great and growing In
dustries, and that the civilization of Ore
gon, with all of its remarkable variety,
must stand upon an agricultural founda
tion. In wheat, hops, wool, sheep, mohair and
goats, we take first rank: in cattle and
dairying 'products, we should be leaders,
and In hay and potatoes, we should sur
pass; In several lines of horticulture we
cannot be outdone; in poultry, flax, sugar
beets and many other products we have
opportunities that mean much for our
future.
, There is no state in the Union with equal
wealth and "possibilities for extensive di
versified agriculture, where organizations
of agricultural forces are so weak as here.
The one great thing of immediate import
ance to the agricultural progress of Ore
gon and the entire Northwest is an intro
duction of the spirit of organization. This
country seems to have reached a stage In
Industrial and social growth where fur
ther progress cannot be made other than
by group organ'zations. .Almost all forms
of transportation and manufacturing, re
alizing this fact, are creating trusts, the
fundamental principle of which, though
sound, is being violated by many vicious
methods. Almost every class of labor is
organizing for protection and advancement.
Tho agricultural people, as a class, are
in no condition to contend, as. individuals,
with all of these organised forces about
themhev-, too, jnust, as a matter pf rp- J
tectlon and growth, formulate and sustain
organizations for marketing their crops,
for promoting their social, intellectual an1
Industrial welfare. This course Is inevit
able, and the sooner the question is met
and solved the better. The most feasible ,
method of studying and determining tr.e
proper system of organization adapted to
the various groups of agricultural Interests
would be by a farmers' congress; In fact,
a farmers' congress, sustained by the lead
ing farmer organizations of the state,
would become a great power In directing
the general welfare of agriculture.
We have a state Woolgrowers' Associa
tion, a Dairymen's Association, a State
Poultry Association, a Hopgrowers' Asso
ciation, a Horticultural Association, etc.,
each one meeting at different times and
places, making it inexpedient and expen
sive for anyone having an Interest In two
o three of these organizations to get the
benefit of them. A consolidation of all of
these meetings at one place during ono
season, each with separate programme
and one general programme, all under
the name of a farmers' congress, with
all of the purposes signified by the name,
would be of great value and become the
Instrument for solving many of the per
plexing questions that ire distracting our
agricultural people, a? well as an educa
tional forco to each particular group In
tho science and practice cf this call.ng.
In older to make this congress of per
manent value. It would have to be guard
ed from the disintegrating Influence of po
litical manipulations, and, therefore, its
board of directors should be created by
making the heads cf all state agricultural
societies and organizations the permanent
directing power. If this proposed meet
ing at Salem succeeds in starting such a
farmers' congress, it will accomplish an
untold amount of good for the progress
and welfare of the agriculture of Oregon.
