Ho said he Ml oine timidity In going into the pulpit and tiylng to talk on orthodox subjects when a lot of preacher were sitting at hi back, but lie h"d that If lie g' outside of the line aomo of them would cull him down. Ho spoke for ulmul 80 minute, giving hi opinion as to the duties of the church and the evangelical ulliance In regard to morul and political mutter. He thought that the church could not enter Into political mutter without lowering the standard of It high aim; but the vani(-lit'ut alliance, while being com ponetiof iik'IiiInt from all churche, Ik a separate and independent .organiza tion from any church, having a cliller ent object to accomplish, and whose aim I, not to creute election quarrels, but to enter into and ho fur a possible elevate and purify the moral tone ol all civil and political questions, and to break down no fur a possible wrong doing at the mIIh.

Take away the patronage of the suloon and It will smin oust, to exist for want of support. To illu trulothl argument, he told tho old story of drying up the cow.

Portland Evening Tribune: By a somewhat vaguo process of rea soning, our ultra-cold papers de duce from the recent elections in the first and second Oregon dis tricts, that this state is in favor of tho single gold standard, wurnig the campaign it was tnaao me issue, sharply defined, that a vote furQuinn, Ellis or Bennett, was a vote for silver, and a vote lor Northup was a vote for gold. In the Brst district a voto for Vander burg or Myers was a vote for silver. and a vote for Tongue was a vote for gold. On this issue, invented, and kept clearly before the people by the gold men, tho vote for Quinn. Llhs and Bennett, whs i.i round numbers i0,000 and for Northup the gold champion, 8,000, In the first district Vandcrburg and Myers, silver, had 20,000 votes, and-Tongue, gold, l'J.UUU votes Thus it will bo Been that upon an issue as clearly defined and as directly brought as tho gold men could make it, the total vote stood 50,000 for silver against 2.000 for gold. If there is satisfaction for the gold men, the silver advocates surely ought to ho able to rest con tent. MOKE "LIMIM OK TIIK LAW." A big batch of lawyers were in. .do in Salem a week or two ago. "The entire class of 71, it is report ed, came up to the required stand ard of proficiency." It is hard to believe that these 71 men ore all fit to engage in the practice of law. It is more likely that not more than three fourths of these young "limbs of tho law" will ever be tit to engage in serious law practice. The Welcome says: "The craze to spoil what might otherwise lie made a useful, profitable life, by joining the hungry horde of would- be lawyers, is regrettable but in curable." Many a good black smith or good farmer was des troyed in making this batch of lawyers. It is all well enough to aim high, but it would bo much better if the "standard of profi ciency" was raised to a higher level, so that instead of entering a learned profession to starve or steal, young men without any peculiar qualifications for it, would "nter a mechanics shop or under take to raise something to supply the markets. in? for his .. i. kL;.,,.'
