that tho rDi;r,'KttitiiM could ultcnd

beeu adverted to addie tho meeting
and a thin wa to be liU Jlmt npoar
unce In the pulpit, coimldcrable Inter
cut wa manifested In the meeting be-
rorliaiiJ.
At 8 o'clock the resident clergymen,
Ito O U Whltnioro, of I'lirtland,
Jllbhop J H Mill and the Itev I I)
Driver, senator-elect, took K-aia on the
ro-lrutn. Uinhop MiIIh, proMldont of
the Allluno', presiding over the meeting-After
the uual opening ceremonies
Mr Wlyou introduced and
Utran lit discourse hy say
ing that owing to tho pros of im-iinens
waiter he had not had tl tut to pre.
pare an extended address, but would
ullempt to deliver a short ex tempo
raneou talk. 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.
Mr Itliyeu evidently would have
Imn-ii more at eu-c, had he lcen ud
dretwlng Judge and ury, but a It wax,
doubtless throuKh force of habit, lie
could not help admiitliiK" and "sub
mitting" certain questions and points
throughout hi disburse. However,
III aildreH waa to tho point and quite
Interesting, and the audience would
Kindly have listened to liitn for 30
ml nun longer iiad he been Inclined
to speak. At the clone of Id uddrc
lie wus enthusiastically tippluudcd.
I)r Driver wax then Introduced. He
IiiiiI not previously Is-cli auuoiiuccd to
speak and when hi iinme wu men
tioned nearly everyliody began todruw
long breaths and search for the moM
comfortable place they could llnd In
their neat. The reverend gentleman
iipoke lor throc-tpiarter of an hour,
and It waa half puxt nine o'clock liefore
the audience waa crniltud to leuve
the bulldiiiK and slietcli thcircruliipoU
and wenry limb.
)r Driver In hi pecullur way dt a
erils'd the dutle of tlie church and of
tho evangelical alliance, relating a
nuinlicr of hi couiio unuccdotca und
to bettor illuatrnte und prove hi asser
lion III eveiy lindane. ISolorring to
tho recent action of I'hrlrliaii people
in taking an active purl In Hlllicul
liiuttrr, he went on to denounce the
churche and to condemn their action
for entering Into politic a a church
organization, llowuaof the opinion
thai the only cure for the saloon qui
tion I to reform tho men who patron
Izo them. 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.
At tho clove of Di Driver' remark,
Itev J A lionghnttoin, pastor of the
Cumberland l'reHbyterlan church,
rose to hi feet ami asked to way a
word. Ho wild III utmtaiice: That he
oKit'l to disuKrw with Dr Driver in
Miino of that uctillcinan' remark. He
denied the Mtalcment t the preceding
npcaker that any of the churche of
thi city had entered Into politico, and
hiiIiI to the audience that, while lie
could not have the privilege of reply
ing at thut iiiomeul to aomo HUle
ineiii made by Dr Driver, lie would
certainly take occunIoii to do ho at the
llmt opportunity all'orded. Mr Ionn
tHittoiu'a fitce wit pale with excite
ment and he aceiued to lie greatly
cxerulitcd over the matter.
A hooii a Mr LoiiKottoiu It us

lliMH and attempted to vindicate lilm
auir in the remark he had made. He

OREGON A MLVElt STATE.
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.

NOVELTY IS AIIVEKTISEMENT.
Novelty in advertisement is the
thing now. The latest and ono of
the most humorous schemes has
been amusing the patrons of the
theaters for three or four nights,
says a city contemporary, and has
succeeded in escaping the notice of
the managers. A bald headed man
is the instrument. On his shining
pate is painted in indigo blue the
