ADDRESS , OF THE EX-PRESIDEXT.
Good Government Can Only Be Re
alized by All Taking: an Interest.
CHICAGO, Oct. 11. The address of ex
President Cleveland before the Commer
cial Club tonight was as follows:
Mr. President and Gentlemen I am cer
tain that it Is not necessary to assure
you of the pleasure it affords me to meet
the members of the Commercial Club of
Chicago. You must know, as well as If
you were told a thousand times, that it is
not in human nature to be less than de
lighted by your open-handed hospitality
and hearty greeting: I do not know that
my pleasure is at all diminished by the
fact that I have reached you only after
repeated inability to accept prior invita
tions, since I am to understand, in a most
emphatic way, that my failures to accept
your hospitality in the past have not fa
tigued your courtesy and friendship. In
deed, I hope my frankness will be excused
when I say that my complete enjoyment
is alloyed at this moment only by the
chills and quakes of speechmaking. Even
in this predicament. I find comfort in the
thought that the ordeal will soon be over,
and I -have reached a sort of peaceful
composure by steeling myself against my
own embarrassment and your disappoint
ment As I understand my situation, I am under-bonds
to keep the peace If possible
by eschewing politics in the few words
I shall speak tonight and I hope I may
fulfill the condition of my bond and avoid
disturbing those most auspicious of my
conduct if I deal with that old. old topic
American Good Citizenship.
There Is danger that my subject is so
familiar ana so trite as to lack interest
This does not necessarily 1 result ' from a
want of appreciation of the importance of
good citizenship, nor from a denial of
the duty resting upon every American to
bo a good citizen. There is . however,
abroad In our land a self-satisfied and
Tierfunctorv notion that Xl'f r!n nil tVin o
required of us in this direction when we
mane proression or our faith in the creed
of good citizenship and abstain from the
commission of palpably unpatriotic sins.
This belief io Inevitably the parent of a
sort of self-righteousness contentment,
which leads us on quite well under the
direction of those who make political ac
tivity their occupation. For ourselves, we
are good, quiet, respectable and Inoffen
sive citizens, and we are not politicians.
We ought not to be badgered and annoyed
by the preaching and exhortations of a
restless troublesome set of men, who con
tinually urge upon us the duty of active
and affirmative participation in public af
fairs. Why should we be charged with
neglect of. political obligations? We go
to the polls on election day, when not too
busy with other things, and vote the
ticket our party managers have prepared
for'us. Some times, when conditions grow
to be so bad, politically, that a revival
or stlrrlng-up becomes necessary, a goodly
number of us actually devote considerable
time and effort to better the situation.
Of course, we cannot do this always, be
cause we must not neglect money-getting
and the promotion of great enterprises,
which, as everybody knows, are the evi
dences of a Nation's prosperity and In
fluence. A great many people and a great
deal of time are necessary to patriotically
care for these things, and somehow It is
more pleasant to promote the country's
good and at the same time our own finan
cial prospects, in this way. than by habitu
ally meddling In political operations.
Mast Be Doers as -"Well as Hearers.
It seems to me that within our citizen
ship there are many whose disposition and
characteristics very much resemble those
quite often found In the membership of
our churches. In this membership there
Is a considerable proportion composed of
those who, having made profession of
their faith and joined the church, appear
to think their duty done when they live
honestly, attend worship regularly and
contribute liberally to church support In
complacent satisfaction, and certain of
their respectability, they do not care to
hear sermonizing concerning the sinful-1
ness of human nature, or the wrath to'
.come, and if haply they are sometimes
roused by the truth of vital Christian
ity, they soon relapse again to their tran
quil and easy condition of llstlessness.
A description of these, found in the "Holy
Writ, may fitly apply, to many in the state
as well as In the church:
"For if any be a hearer of the word
and not a doer, he is like unto a man be
holding his natural face in a glass; for
he beholdeth himself and goeth his way,
and straightway forgetteth what manner
of man he was."
Who will say that this Is now our happy
condition? Is not our public life satur
ated with the indecent demands of selfish
ness? ' More than this, can any of us
doubt the existence of still more odious
and detestable evils which, with steady
cankering growth, are moro directly than
all others, threatening our safety and Na
tional life? I speak of the corruption of
our suffrage, open and notorious, of the
buying land celling of political places for
money, the purchase of political favors
and privileges, and the traffic In official du
ty for personal gain. These things are
confessedly common. Every intelligent
man knows that they have grown from
small beginnings until they have reached
frightful proportions of malevolence: and
yet respectable citizens by the thousands
and -hundreds of thousands have looked on
with perfect calmness, and with hypocrit
ical cant have declared they are not poli
tician?, or with silly pretensions of faith in
our strength and luck, have languidly
claimed that the country was prosperous,
equal to any emergency, and proof against
all dangers.
Resulting front these conditions in a
manner not difficult to trace, wholesome
National sentiment la threatened with
utter perversion. All sorts of misconceptions-
pervade the public thought, and
Jealousies rssidly taking on the complex
Ion of class hatred are found in every
corner of the land. A new meaning has
been given to National prosperity. With
a hardihood that savors of Insolence, an
old pretext, which has preceded the doom
of ancient, experimenters In popular rule,
is daily and hourly dinned in our ears.
We are told- that the National splendor
we have built upon the showy ventures
of speculative wealth is a badge of our
success. Unsharlng contentment Is en
joined upon the masses of our people; and
they are Invited in the bare
subsistence of their, scanty homes,
to patriotically- rj3ce in their
country's prosperity.' This is too unsub
stantial an enjoyment, of benefits, to .satis
fy those who have been- taught American
equality;' and thus nas- arisen, by-a-per-fectlynatural
process, a dissatisfied in-
slstence -upon a better distribution of the
results of our vaunted ivosperity.
Lr.uor and Capital.
We now see its worst manifestation lq
the apparently Incorrigible dislocation ol
the proper relations between labor and
capital. This of itself is sufficiently dis
tressing; but thoughtful men are not
without dread of sadder developments yet
to come. There has also grown up among
our p'eople a disregard for the' restraints
ofJaw, and a disposition to evade its limi
tations while querulous strictures con
cerning the action of our courts tend to
undermine popular faith in the course of
justice; and last, but by no means least
complaints of Imaginary or exaggerated
shortcomings In our financial policies, fur
nish an excuse for the flippant exploita
tion of all sorts of monetary nostrums.
I hasten to give assurance that I have
not spoken In a spirit of gloomy pessi
mism. I shall be the last of all our peo
ple to believe that the saving grace of
patriotism among my countrymen is dead
or will always sleep. I know that Its
timely revival and activity mean the
realization of the loftiest hopes of a free
Nation. I have faith that the awaken
ing is forthcoming: and on this faith I
build a cheerful hope for the healing of

DISCUSSES "AMERICAN GOOD CITIZENSHIP AT
BANQUET OF CHICAGO COMMERCIAL CLUB
EX-PRESIDEXT CLEVELAND.
m NEW LAWS
Congress Will Incline to
Conservatism.
NO LARGE APPROPRIATIONS
River and Harbor Efill Only
Probable Exception,
HOUSE WILL NOT GIVE UP ALL
Policy Means Xo Anti-Trust, Tariff
or Reciprocity Legislation, Save
for Caba, and Xo New Public
Building Bills.
OREG ONIANi NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Oct 14. Legislation that will be
enacted at tho coming regular session of
Congress, will be' framed along lines of
conservatism and economy. This is usual
ly the case In the session immediately pre
ceding a Presidential election, and the an
nouncement Is madd by men close to the
prospective Speaker that every effort will
be made by Mr. Cannon and by his mighty
committee on rules to hold appropriations
do,wn to tho minimum and to prevent all
unnecessary legislation,
The carrying out: of such a policy will
mean no financial legislation; no changes
in the expansion policy; no more antitrust
legislation; no tariff legislation of any
kind; no reciprocity legislation except for
Cuba; no now public buildings bill9, but
only provision for contract work initiated
by acts of previous sessions; no "pork bar
rel" appropriations of any kind; In fact,
nothing new, novel or startling In legisla
tion, and only the utmost conservatism.
Adjournment in May.
With all this, adjournment is looked for
some time in May. Speaker Cannon, it Is
known, favors such a plan, and so far as
the House .is concerned, he will' probably
be able to adhere pretty closely to such
a policy, except perhaps as td the river
and harbor bill. There are u vast number
of works that will be tied up unless a river
and harbor bill is paseed, and other meri
torious, projects., foe. which jio appropria
tion has yet been made, would be serious
ly hampered by a. delay or another year,
among them works in Oregon. The defeat
of the river and harbor bill in the short
session two years ago serves as a warning
of what may happen If the bill Is not
passed arthe coming session, for some
disgruntled Senator may adopt the tactics
of Senator Carter, and kill this important
measure at a vital time. Chairman Bur
ton, of the river and harbor committee,
favors a moderate river and harbor bill at
the next session, and it is quite probable
that Speaker Cannon may have -to yield
on this point, although he would be able
to hold down the bill to small dimensions.
The larger works, such as the improve
ment of the mouth of the Columbia River,
will go ahead regardless of the river and
harbor bill, but The Dalles project and
the Improvements along the. Oregon coast
are largely dependent upon a river and
harbor bill, and would be affected were no
bill allowed to pass. The general strong
sentiment In favor of this measure is very
likely to cause the Speaker to yield, at
least to the extent of a compromise.
Members May Do Some Holdlnfr-Up.
There Is no doubt that many Republican
leaders would like to see this economy
programme carried out in full, but mem
bers of the House are not going to be
choked off entirely In the matter of appro-
priatlons for carrying on public improve-:
ments In their districts.
In -the last session, an attempt was made
td prevent the passage of public building
bills, and it was generally understood that
the Speaker and the committee on rules,
together with tho .leaders, intended to pre
vent any time being given to these meas
ures. The result was that a combination
was formed strong enough to block other
legislation, and notice was served on the
Speaker and other leaders that the men
who had been working throughout the en
tire session to secure legislation in the
way of public building bills Intended to
have tho consideration of the House upon
them, or other legislation would be tied
up.
An attempt to smother a river and har
bor bill will no doubt result in that bill
being reported early enough to receive con
sideration, and when the House goes Into
committee of the whole to consider appro
priation bills, the river and harbor bill
will have friends enough to pass It before
some of the other measures.
No doubt efforts toward economy in
proper directions -will be assisted by the
members of the House In every way possi
ble, "but members are not going to see
their districts slighted, and if an omnibus
bill for public buildings- is necessary it
will bo passed, and a. river and harbor bill
will also be put through. The mapping
out of a programme thus early will, no
doubt, cause the rank and file to get to
gether on a scheme to see that the usual
bills of interest to their district are put
through.
DOUBLE MILEAGE FOR SALONS.
V
Congress Is to Grant Pay for Extra
and Regular Sessions.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Oct. 14. In the light of precedents
of past Congresses, it is supposed Sena
tors and Representatives who come to
Washington to attend the extra session
on November 9 will be allowed mileage
for the extra session, and again for the
regular session that meets in December.
This is a matter wholly in the control
of Congress, and at past extra sessions,
these double allowances have been made,
even when one session followed Imme
diately upon another. In the case of Ore
gon and Washington members, these mean

PACIFIC UNIVERSITY", Forest Grove,
Or., Oct. 14. (Special.) For the first time
In three years Pacific University has at
its head a permanent, formally Installed
president. Professor "W. N. Ferrin, who
for two years has been acting president
of the institution and dean of the faculty,
was today inaugurated as head of tho
college, with which, he has been connected,
as a teacher, for over 26 .years. Ever
slncehc rfsignorrT'BrVMcCIeHaird,
who accepted a: call to Krox College at the
"beginning of the school year 1900-'01. tho
trustees have considered Professor Ferrin
the right man to All this responsible po
sition, and his formal election to the
presidency occurred at a meeting of the
board held in Portland last August.
Today the little college city of Forest
Grove Is filled as it seldom has been he
fore with members of the alumni, old
students and friends of Pacific University,
who have Journeyed here to attend and
participate in the exercises, which un
doubtedly mark the beginning of a new
era In the advancement and growth of this
institution. It was an occasion for the
uniting of distinguished men from all
over the state, who are connected with the
Interests of this college and the hearty
support which they are giving presage a
glowing future for "Old Pacific."
Lower Classes in Lend.
At an early hour this forenoon tho
guests assembled at Herrick Hall, where
the inaugural procession, a feature of all
similar occasions of the present time, was
formed. The student body, arranged with
the lower classes leading, were at the
head of the -formation; members of the
faculty, alumni, trustees and distinguished
guests, as an escort for President Ferrin
followed. The line of march was directly
to Marsh Memorial Hall. Upon the ar
rival there, the students stood in open file
while the other members, of the procession .
passed through the corridors to the audi
torium above.
Brighton Chapel never offered a more
attractive appearance. Huge masses of
brilliantly tinted Autumn leaves, with a
border of ferns, almost hid from sight the
entire front wall of the room. The exer
cises commenced shortly after 10 o'clock.
After a hymn and the Invocation by
Rev. Mr. Bollinger, of Oregon City, the
presiding officer, Hon. Alanson Hinman,
president of the Board of Trustees, ajosa
and in a few well-chosen remarks called
attention to the appropriateness of plac
ing a "Wastern man at the head of thre
college, a child of pioneers, founded in
1848, whose every Interest Is centered in
the building up of the Pacific Northwest
and Oregon In particular.
University of Oregron Greetings.
President Campbell, of the University
of Oregon, was the first speaker. He
brought hearty greetings from a sister
institution, and paid a glowing tribute to
President Ferrin as an educator. Briefly
he treated of the great openings for ad
vancement along the lines of higher edu
cation in America, and especially In the
West. The great field has hardly been
touched as yet. Only one-half of 1 per
cent of our youth achieve a college educa
tion, but the great strides that are be
ing made along these lines, tell of different
conditions, which will exist within the
next few decades. America at present is
spending more per capita for education
than the other nations, yet it is neces
sary to do much more. The time when
brute force ruled .is long past, and the
demand today is for men with trained
intellect. He closed with a spirited ac
count of the call in America for more
college men.
Dr. Wilson Represents Academies.
The secondary schools of the state were
represented by Principal J. R. Wilson,
of Portland Academy. He called atten-"
tlon to the co-operation between the acad
emies and colleges of our state, which
Is necessary to a successful educational
