THE AMERICAN FARMER
and the Corvallis Gazette for a year hi ad
vance. We have perfected arrangements with the
pnbfaf hers of the American Fanner, of Fort Wayne,
Ind., that enable us to offer our subscribers a first
class agricultural magazine at the bare cost of the
white japsr on which it is print-d. The American
Farmer is a 10 page monthly magazine which is nip
idly taking rank as one of the leading agricultural
publications of the country. Each number will con
tain useful information for the farmer, bis wife, his
sons and hisdaughters. As it costs you almost noth
ing, suppose you try it one year. Parties desiring
valuable reading matter on faim, stock and agricul
tural subjects, will find this the most profitable and
cheapest way to get it.
AN ADDRESS.
The following address wsa delivered on
decoration day at Newport by our former
townsman, J. R. Baldwin:
Officers uul Mthabers of Gcor'je Washington
Post of tkt Grand Army of the. Republic:
You nre met to-day to celebrate in ap
propriate form your annual holiday, which
is and ever must be, a sad one. As an or
der of brotherhood, your conception and
origin sprang from the fraternal love and
fellowship born of active campaign service
among our marines and soldiers during our
late rebellion. The blood-purchased prin
ciples of 1770, our forefathers' gift to an
appreciative people, were alike revered by
north and south, by east and west. But as
time wore on and progressive generations
multiplied, developing the hidden resources
of our great country beyond the compre
hension of imagination's highest flight, the
foundations of our primitive nation, though
deeply laid with solemn care by profound
minds, were yet far too small to meet the
wants and needs of advancing man; and
defective flaws, mere specks at first, grew
wide apace from year to year, till in 18G1
the crisis came, and long smothered dis
cord and forbearing jealousies between eon
tending factions could be no more sup
pressed. Hidra-headed treason reared its
brazen crest, and the fierce internal strife,
like a fever, raging worse because delayed,
precipitated the five years war which
marks our government's historic page with
red emphasizing underlines, the memory of
which is alas too fresh in the minds of old
and young.
It is no fit time or place nor am I now
inclined to dilate -on the causes leading to
that struggle, the cost of which no one
foresaw nor even yet can realize. Statistics
show the nation's debt in bonds and gold,
and archives prove the loss of life; but no
finite mind can comprehend the wasted
strength of society and morals.
Relaxing sinews long o'er-strained,
brought stupifyoig lethargy. Chaotic de
bris clogged the wheels of progress in the
South, and for a time the Kuklux raged a
vandal band of lawless nen, in whom the
olive branch of peace roused deamons worse
than treason claims; who, knowing no law
but thirst for crime, spread death and
terror through the land. Dissipation,
vicious vagabondage, and the multiplying
crimes -of tramps to-day, are but Email
fruits of that foul germ. Congested veins
of commerce, and withered scenes of pas
toral life were part results; and rampant
speculation rose phoenix-like from past
turmoil, sapping healthy life from well es
tablished business habits and steady occu
pation. When the five years struggle closed and
the mighty hosts were mustered out, to re
turn again to hearths and homes and renew
the toils they left at country's call, and
gladden the hearts of loved ones there, by
reuniting family ties, the nation's wounds
began to heal and peace and plenty reign
again where desolation born of war had
long prevailed. Then, as step by step ad
vancing time developed the accumulating
costs of the principles contended for and
won, those principles grew in value in the
estimation of all loyal men, and urged the
hearts of veterans to seek some means of
keeping green the comradeship born of
strife and sealed in blood. And so they
band together in various Posts throughout
the land, cultivating ties of brotherhood by
an uniformity of discipline and fellowship,
the power of which they learned to know
in camp and field. Though your brother
hood varies little but in form from Odd
Fellowship or Masonry, except from causes
whence it rose in the hallowedirecent past,
while theirs are many spread and multiply,
your posts, alas ! must sink with time till
all are closed by death's descimating hand,
for none can join the G. A. R. but those
who served, on land or sea, in our late re
bellion, and the time is not far distant, as
time is reckoned in a nation's life, when the
last post shall cease to be, when its sacred
rites will be a book that's sealed, and the
last comrade gone to join the roll of honor.
Unity of heart and mind prevail to-day
throughout the land. All crafts anil trades
respect the time; all party schemes are hid
from sight. We meet to-day, to rejoice
witli pomp and splendor, such as befits the
day of our nation's birth; nor yet to stir the
harsher memories of long buried passions
roused in the evil days gone past, by re
viving thoughts of pain and bloodshed in
field or camp; but like the fading scars
which mark once ghastly fissures in the
flesh long since healed, so advancing time
has softened the smaller lines of passion
traced on me iSJkvy's scroll, till friend and.
foe all blend in one.
To-day our couutry mourns the untimely
death of four hundred thousand of her brave
sons, the precious sanguinary price of accu
mulated discord and passion's hasty flow.
On this, the 30th day of May, the duties of
your brotherhood, in which all comrades
wish to join, require a public floral decora
tion of all soldiers's gaves. While some
may mourn the loss of father, brother,
friend, we bear in mind that some comrades
left no earthly ties, and as all are friends
where they are gone, we crown alike both
Blue and Gray, without betraying partial
hand. From Puget Sound to Florida Keyes,
from Penobscot Bay to Los Angeles, to-day
the breezes waft the funeral dirge, and
comrades inarch with crape bound arms to
muiileil drams, and with forgiving, reverent
thoughts of by-gone strife, gather at the
graves alike of blue and gray, whose blood
baptised our nation's woe, and the gentle
fragrant flowers are yielding up their lives
to do them honor fit semblance of the
price they nobly paid without regret, each
for the side he thought was right.
Here on the western verge of Columbia's
soil we meet to-day on common plain to do
our homage v ith the rest, ani with enlarg
ing sympathy extend those rites to com
rade posts on coait of Maine, merging music,
prayer and requiem in unison throughout
the Nation; and upon every high sea, and
in every foreign land, permeating the veins
of commerce of the great round world, from
the frozen regions of the North, througn
the sweltering tropics to the frigid wastes
of Southern seas; and from Columbia East
to Columbia West, around the globe where
ere Americans sojourn to-day, our gallant
flag droops mournfully at half-mast, pro
claiming to all kind our grief, though
softened, not forgot.
The shrill piping fife ever stirs the vete
ran's heart with vivial scenes of soldier life;
the camp, the drill, the march, the picket
guard on stormy nights, the forage squad
the scout and skirmish, and surmounting
all, the thrilling clash on battle field. But
to-day those thoughts give place to sadder
ones to lingering pain in hospital, the
prison's starving discipline, the battle's
close the burial day. Yet soon a quarter
century will have passed since that fatal
guantlet toss on Sumpter's Fort in sixty
one, which called you from office, store,
farm, school and work-shop, to join in fra
tricidal contest. Some of you who then
were beardless youths, now wear wrinkled
brows and grizzled locks, not all due to
time's changing hand; but some plainly
traced to life-melting campaigns; to prison
fare and hospital, to cankered wounds and
wasting plague, each marking serious rebate
from man's allotted span in unmistaken
lines, while many more whose names now
grace jour roll of honor, though surviving
tragedy of battlefield and prison life, have
siuce paid full price to nature's law, and
gone to join the silent, ever multiplying
ranks with never ending furlougs. So year
by year your ranks must thin while theirs
increase, ti'l the Grand Army of the Re
public shall be no more, and none can say
"We served together!" But when that time
shall come, fear not that Memorial Day will
cease to be, far an ever grateful nation
marks it well, and reveres it more at each
return; and the wreaths and flowers you
bestow to-day on comrades gone, shall re
vive again to grace your brows, when one
by one you, too, have joined that roll.
And now, since blood and gold and social
bliss were freely paid for victory won, let
us hope to profit by it while We may; and
while we forget the bitter thoughts of
former days, may the principles which cost
so much, ever grow in grace and strength,
without a trace of section's claim to mark
the line twixt North or South, or Fast or
West; and as love survives when hate is
dead, and guildiugtime enchants the scene,
so shall glory's halo brighten around that
sacred roll of honar. till nation's fade and
time erase historic lines.

EDITED BY THE W. C. T. V.
State Convention of the W. C. T. TJ. ol Ore
gon Held In Albany June 4Ui and 5th.
A most interesting and profitable state
convention of the Oregon W. C. T. U.
closed on June 5th.
The attendance at the convention was
very encouraging, noticeable among the
members were several gentlemen of high
standing in the community, who showed
great interest throughout the session, and
who by invitation of the Union addressed
them in an exceedingly pleasing manner.
Most excellent reports were read by the
superintendents of the different depart
ments, among t hem I can only allude to the
Press, Sabbath school, Evangelistic, Scien
tific Instruction, which were especially
good. The latter department calling forth
considerable discussion, as we believe that
legally enforced scientific teaching in every
normal school and public school, in fact iu
every institution of learning throughout
the length and breadth of the land would be
the most powerful instrumentality that
could be thought to forever avert from the
young the perilous evils and temptations
leading to intemperance which now beset
them on every hand. Whatever methods
in the wisdom of this convention shall be
deemed the best and most 'feasible to adopt
for the compassing of this great object
compulsory temperance education here iu
this far western state, one thing is certain
there must in some way eminate from all
the local Unions "more light" upon this
most vital question, as it seems to us is
together with that of prohibition the two
questions of the day and hour.
Mrs. Leavitt whose pleasaut face, heart
felt interest, and loving kindly suggestions,
helped to make our convention the success
it was, is doing grand work on this coast.
She has done much to strengthen the faith
of the workers of the W. C. T. U.
One gentleman remarked to me that never
had he fully realized the force, influence
and character of the W. C. T. U., until he
happened to drop in to the half hour of de
votion which preceeded our business session.
Such prayers, he said, he never heard be
fore, and he went away ieeling that God
indeed was with us all.
Mrs. Leavitt's address the last night,
"Christianity iu Government," was masterly
and heard with breathless attention.
The convention was held in the church
recently finished and was decorated with
mottos and b3autifully arranged flowers;
The plans of work, and declaration of prin
ciples will be in the next issue of this paper.
We have no time for any further report
to-day,

A Serious Saloot.
Upon the receipt of the news of the nom
ination of Blaine at Silverton Friday eve
ning, the old cannon was brought forth to
give a saloot. The yunner, after filing a
number of rounds, thought he would in
crease his load, and put in five pounds of
rifle gun powder well tamped down with
brick dust, etc. At the word "fire" she
went off with a bang that shook the firma
ment and burst the gun into many frag
ments. The gun was placed near the school
house on the north side, and Mr. R. C .
Ilamsby had his horse grazing in Mr.
BroVn's door-yard, a quarter of a mile
south of town, which was sttuck with a
piece weighing about 25 pounds. The poor
brute was cut almost completely into, and
it became necessary to shoot it to get it out
of it3 misery. Another slug nearly as large
struck near where Mr. Ramsby was sitting,
tearing up the earth in a lively manner.
A third piece went through his barn and a
fourth piece got inside the school home.
broke the clock, and did considerable other
damage. Other fragments scattered over
the village, giving several parties a close
call and something to talk about. Th
school yard was full of people at the time
of the accident, and yet there was no body
hurt. Statesman.
