Itie Oregon politic! machine at Wash ington a. a prod eatecuaitr who ifi cut- tssg cfl headi at a Jirely rat. The La Grand Land office haa reaeived new heads, )hn W. Knowlea, of La Grande, being nominated for register and Asa B. Thompson, of Pendleton, for receiver. The Preeidont has sent to the Senate the name of John D. Daly, of Corvallis to be Sorreyor General. e ai Governor Chamberlain has pardoned the Warehouseman Humphreys rho way sentenced to the penitentiary for the theft of farmers wheat while stored in his warehouse. The convict was no allowed to go into the penitentiary but wae pardoned so that it could I said that be was never in that institution. It begins to appear that in Oregon the law is only made to be enforced against poor thieves. President Roesevelt will start on his western trip on April 1. He will hunt beer in Yellowstone Park and hopes afterwards to bag a few real lieauties in Alaska by the end of the month, We don't know whether this will be an April fool joke on the President or on the Black, Cinnamon and Grizzles of Alaska. If we remember aright Roosevelt before he wa6 President, killed a few brown bears in Missouri and afterwards moun tain lions in Colorado. He is a nimrod when it comes to hunting and the cow boys of the plains say, that he put up a real Etiff fist fight at a "badger baiting" in the Blaok.Hill about ten'years ago, fct which he was chief mourne. la Portland last Friday at the lead ing Methodist church a preacher who was preaching the gospel of vibratory cult was arrested during the meeting charged with seduction and parentage of a child whose mother was then in a charity hospital in that city. The preacher bailed from Vancouver, B. C., where he accomplished the ruin of the girl who was at the time IS years old. The man in some manner ingratiated himself into the confidence of the church trustees who let him have the building for $15, in which to spread abroad pernicious doctrines to the fair maidens and matrons of Portland The vibratory colt in example is a little lower thanSodom and Gomorrah was in harvest time. The editor in the past twenty-five years of Journalism has taken in on sub scription poeeum and 'tatars and about every thidg rise the earth or sea oould produce that was good to eat. But last Saturday a broth- from the Umpqna river came o the office and said : '"Ton are net an Oregonian yet, I owe you on subscription and have a lot of 40 prunea and want to. pay you forty pounds for the year and by the time you have got through with them yoa will be an Oregonian." We took the prunes and the question now is, when will those prunes get through with us? But if a man must eat forty pounds cf 40-prunes in order to be an Oregon ian, we are afraid that our citizenship will be delayed beyond August 1st, for we once got stuck in eating forty quail in forty days one quail each day and the contemplation of forty pounds of forty prunes will, we aie afraid, work the same way. The Oregonian is now ehedding tears over the failure of the Forest Fire Bill and the Logging Bill to become laws. W hy should a farmer earning his daily bread on his farm be compelled to pay taxes to protect timber owned by syndi cats and speculators? In the Logging Bill why Ehould all the streams in Ore gon be turned over to a political com bine whose object was to control every foot of standing timber in the state? The grafting and schemes of plunder under the name of law is a disgrace to Oregon and should be done away with. The Plaikdealer was the first news paper to denounce the graft which was intended to rob every man of his timber holdings, and cares not for tlaj Oregonian's flout when it says : "Thone who chum to have defeated the logging stream bill, and who rejoice over their achievement are welcome to all theglory there is in it." And now that the ques tion is before the public again thePiAix- dkaleb would like to know how much did the Oregonian take in for attempt ing to hold a seance of the dear depart ed, dead bill? The many friends of the Hon. J. C. Fullerton in Douglas and other counties in southwest Oregon are urging him to become a candidate for congressional honors. So pronounced is the deter mination to run him for the position that delegations from several of the prominent precincts have waited on him and he has taken the matter under ad visement. When the representative of the Plain-dealer waited on the Judge to learn his decision in the matter, the Judge stated that he had thought eome what about it but that he wanted Doug las county to be represented in the con gressional convention by a solid delega tion and that if Mr. Hermann was a candidate for the office he (Fullerton) did aot think he would be. Nothing but the Judge'e positive assertion that he Will not run will convince his friends who s re determined to run him even against his will ; but the Plaindkaleb is convinced that in the Honorable J. C. Tullerton the republicans of Douglas county has a man who believes iducj in republican harmony and proierity than he does for personal agrandise ment. The Plaixdraler will next Thursday be able to give the Judge's unalterable decision in the matter. The Republicans have called a con vention of the first Congressional dis trict t meet at Eugene, April 0 to nom inate a candidate to succeed the late Thomas H. Tongue. The Democrats will very likely do likewise soon'. While thie district is largely Republican there seem V be quite a number of Democra tic candidates. Among other names mentioned is the name of our esteemed fellow townsman, Hon. J. W. Hamilton, Circuit Judge of the Second Judicial District. The able and unpartial man ner in which he has conducted court during his terra of office has placed him 1n the highest rank in the esteem and respect of the people. He, no doubt, would make a very formidable candidate, and, if nominated, woald make a can- vaaa the result of which would be un certain until the ballots were counted Bat we understand that Judge Hamilton will not allow his name to be used in this connection. His public duties re quire his constant attention, And the very nature of his office being a judicial one, to a large degree prevanU a man of the high and delicate sense of honor of Judge Hamilton from taking part in a political contest, mulh more, from be coming a candidate for political honors. This is eiiiht and proper. But In this instance while we heartily desire to see a Republican elected, we almost wish that Judge Hamilton would receive the nomination. If then the Democrats should bv anv combination of circum stances be successful in the special election in the interest of Oregon would be most zealously and ably cared for, Other democratic names nieatiouod in this connection are: R. A. Miller and William Galloway of Oregon City, J. K Weatherford and W. R. Bilyen of Albany, M. A. Miller of Lebanon, aad A Reames cf Jacksonville, but none of these men could carry a single county against a republican war horse. Religious Liberty in Russia. A decree has been issued by the Czar of all Russia granting to all subjects and foreigners witnin the Russian boundary lines the privilege to worship God ac cording to their understanding of Deity The decree was issued last Thursday ; and we regard this decree as a most momentous measure for the true ad vancement of the score or more nations now forming the Russian Empire. It is a just and far reaching decree and will no doubt do much toward cementing together the largest Empire in the world, with the possible exception of the British Empire. If we remember aright it was less than four years ago when Count Tolstoi (one of the grandest men Russia has ever produced) was excommunicated by the Russian (Greek) Church by the sanction of the Czar for expressing views not favorable to that church in his writ ings. For the past 1400 years the Greek Church haa been the established church of that country and with few exceptions no other religion except that has been allowed to be taught, and whenever a country was annexed or subjugated and made part of Rnssian territory the Greek religion was forced upon the peo ple by making it the state religion. The Greek Church of Russia is gov erned by Patriarch s or Archbishops and these archbishops in their government and in issuing edicts or theological docu ments are simply primus inter parti or first or chief among their equals or brethren, and the marriage relationship is sacredly observed by archbishops, suffragan bishops, priests and deacons. In the government of the church the bishop is not despotic in power and dif fers from the Church of Rome in this particular. The bishop of Rome is accounted to be the head of the church from whose dictate there is no appeal for the dictate of the Pope is accounted to be infallible. The bishops or popes or patriarchs of the Greek church while supreme in their diocese and not amen able to. any other bishop yet are amen able to an oecumenical synod of bishops. The nearest approach, to the Greek church policy in the United States is the Episcopal church, and while this is true of church government we also believe it to be so in theology. The great trouble with the Greek church theology and reli gion is this : It is a form of religion, the cloak of religious profession but it is dead toHhe vitalizing, enobling self, enlarging principles of the Nazarine's religion. It is a form of Godliness but the form is a corpse so far as individual spiritual life is concerned. For centuries the scale and moss has grown on the intellectual tree until the individual belief is nothing more than a mere assent to a theological problem which the individ ual is too lazy or dull minded to attempt to understand, but with new religious faiths to be spread in Russia, new doo trines to be Tonet and combatted, and above all the individual life of a man hid in Christ with full belief ia God to be proclaimed in the street and house tops will put new life and thought into the Russian people ; and with freedom of religious thought expressed in words and the exemplification of what it Is to be a true Nazarine will give power to Russian mind, for with perfect freedom in religious matters comes a wider range and vision of possibilities and the grasp ing of these words: "now are we the sons of God and it doth not yet appear what we shall be" is the light that has illuminated the mind of man and made it reach out after all the wonderful dis coveries of past centuries and urges nian to grasp and understand the problems of the most distant star. And it is onlv in countries where perfect freedom V)f religion has been practiced or wrere the individnal broke away from the tenets of a government enforced religion that wonderful discoveries in science has been made. It will take only a few short years, comparatively speaking, for Russia to be thoroughly aroused from dead theological formulas to a living faith. And in the end it may be that the eastern church will save the western from decay. In any event for the next fifty years, perhaps one hundred, Russia will be the battle ground for polemic theology and the full and free discussion of all subjects will give a wider range to national and individual intellectual, and religious life.

K Bdici. Mehlrum'a Successor. A special dispatch from Washington on Saturday says : State Senator John D. Daly, of Cor vallis, is slated to succeed Henry Mel drum as Surveyor-General of Oregon. He was yesterday unanimously recom mended by the Oregon delegation for the appointment, and in all probability his nomination will be sent to the Sen ate today by the President. The dele gation's recommendation will be first referred to Land Commissioner Rich ard i, but as Daly has been highly com mended to both officials as an efficient survoyor and man of good, sound judg ment and administrative ability, and as they are both extremely anxious to have MeMrura relieved, there is no doubt that Daly's recommendation will b properly indorsed and returned to the White Houm. In view of the pressure from the department it is also expected that prompt confirmation will follow the nomination. Daly is the personal choice of Senator Fulton and was accepted by Senator Mitchell only after a aeries of confer ences. Several of the men whom Mitch ell wanted to indorse for the olfice proved to be inexperienced as survey ors. Commissioner Richards indicated to the delegation that a man for Surveyor-General should be an accomplished surveyor, and his views were approved by Secretary Hitchcock, who holds the Commibsioner person ally responsible for his entire force. John D. Daly ia a aative of New York, born in 1S37, and raised in New Jersey. He came to California in 18C4 and engaged in basineca in Stocktou, in which he continued several years. In 1878 he came te Oregon, settling at Ya quioa Bay, and was the editor and pro prietor of the Yaquina Bay News. A few years later he removed to Corvallis and started the Oregon Union. This at present is the only Republican paper in Corvallis, and it, as well as its proprietor has always been notod for its firm stand for the gold standard policy of the Re publican party. In 1S92 be was elected to the lower branch of the State Legis lature, and during the following session be was successful in liaving passed the state lieu land law, which saved for the state f300,0o0. In 1SU8 be was elected to the Senate, and during the special session of 1S98 was successful in having the legal rate of interest reduced to 6 percent, and in the regular session of 1899 he was also successful in passing all the Dalytext-book law, which he con siders one of his greatest achievement. He was re-elected to the Senate in 1902 and has two years of his term yet to serve.. The editor of the Plain-dialer is slightly acquainted with Senator Daly and believes that in him Oregon will have a man of sterling honor and integ rity to fill the office of Surveyor-General of this State. Olendale News. Thomas Agee is very ill with lung fever. Charles Tyndall was a Glendale visit or this week. Miss Minnie Hod sen is visiting in Portland this week. Many children are seriously CI with whooping cough, in this city. Buddy Boyd, who has been very ill with pneumonia is getting better. James E. Shea, who has been visiting his wife, in this city, returned to Port land last week. Clarence Ruseell, who was very ill with the la grippe, went to his home at Canyonville, on Monday. Miss Umphlette, lately of the Glen dale News, has retired from her position and returned to Grants Pass. Mrs. Charles Flint, who has been critically ill at our home for the past two weeks, is now able to be out again. Glendale is to re-elect city officers soon, and R. K. Montgomery ia the pop ular candidate for mayor. He will make a good mayor. Snyder and Zwight, of the Oregon Lumber Co., have booked a number of orders that will take them all summer to fill, and still they come. Mr. Winningbam has purchased of J. D. Harper two lots and a nice new cot tage, in Harper's addition, and which Mr " W, and bis family now occupy. The opera house building haa been sold to an Ashland man, who, we are informed, will open a saloon there in the near future. Wonder where Carrie Na tion and her hatchet are? We are apt to need bet services out this way. Dr. Bowereox will commence building his new residence soon. We do not know who has the contract to do the work. The new school house is covered and is being painted and will no doubt be ready for occupancy by May 1st. Our community was stirred to its greatest depths by the sad fatality that occurred here on Tuesday, the 11th inst On Monday, in the forenoon, Clarence Mercer, a little lad of 12 years, and Carl Rikewin, were both riding a pony be longing to Wm. Mercer, and which they were going to take to a pasture on the other side of the creek. After leaving the corner of Ladd & Ohlsen's store the pony refused to go in the direction the boys wished him to go, and started on a keen trot down street to the Mercer place, where he had been kept. After getting down the hill both boys fell off, the Mercer boy falling on the Rikewin boy. A crowd gathered and both boys said they were not hurt, but after start ing home the Rikewin boy asked J. L Roberts to carry him. He said, "Joe, I can't walk." After reaching home Dr. Bowersox was called, and found a slight injury on the abdomen, over the spleen. The boy said all the time he felt better. On Tueeday morning he began to sink at 8 :30, and at 9 :5 he died. What the injury was is left entirely to conjecture. He was a very promising child, and the greatly bet eaved family have the sym pathy of onr city in their sudden and awful bereavement. The funeral oc curred at 2 p. m., Wednesday, the 12th, and the serviot were conducted by Elder D. N. Fish. The interment was made at Maplewood cemetery. Mollis. NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS. The tax rolls for 1902 have been placed in my hand for collection, and on Monday, March 1, 1903, at 8 o'clock, a. m., I will commence to receive taxes. ' E. L. Pabbott, Sheriff and tax collector for Douglas county, Oregon. Qeneral News Notes. Seattle, not content with havins a regular municipal shakeup, reports two slight earthquake shucks last Friday night. It is stated officially that 1.000.000 acres of land will be opened to settle ment in Southern California on June 15. Much of the land is fit for agricul tural purposes. William Nelson Cromwell, the New York lawyer who has unloaded the French claims to the Panama canal on Uncle Sam, will receive $2,000,000 for his trouble. The secret, or supposed secret. rro- ceedinga of the United Staten senate con tinues to be printed m all the leading daily papers. Some of the senators are making hay while the sun shines. Last Saturday near Douglass, Wyom ing, masked man killed 450 head of sheep, beat up the herder and destroyed Ilia camp. Tlus m the kind of outrage that is put in force all over the Rocky Mountain grazing grounds. The Patrons tf Husbandry held a very interesting and profitable meeting at Salem last Friday. The speaker Aaron Jones, master of the National Grange said : that his organisation now had a membership of 1,000,000 and was in creasing at the rate of 2,000 each week. The Great Rock Island road on Satur day had a terrible smash-up at a point 30 miles west of Topeka. The east and west bound passenger trains collided head end on and half a dozen cars were teleseoped. One engineer was killed and twenty passengers injured. It is a miracle that there were not scores of people killed. Mr. Chamberlain, who is regarded as England's greatest living statesman, re turned on Saturday from a visit to South Africa where he had been to get a thorough understanding of the Boer troubles. He thinks the Boers will be good from this time on but that it will take years of bard work to bring the country to its ante-bellum state of pro ductiveness. The stiffs" do not remain stiff at the Portland Medical College where they are used for dissecting purposes by the students. In fact, the stock on hand last Saturday was so larce that it decomposed before it could be used and northern Portland was perfumed against the wishss of the citizens. The grave robbers must have had a good run of business to overstock the market. It is said that a stiff is worth rll tho wjy from three to fifteen dollars and that age, sex and ripeness is taken into con sideration by the gouls and professors of anatomv. NijTSar Outrage in Washington. Last Friday night a big, fat, greasy niggar by the name of King Solomon who makes a living by fortune telling, left Portland and took the train for Se attle. The niggar went to s!ep and snored only as a fat niggar can snore He kept all the other passengers awake and a frail lady, bordering on nervou prostration, asked the brakeman to wake him up, which was done. The niggar then asked the brakeman who requested that he be woke up and the brakeman pointed out the lady. The niggar jumped up, pulled out a big re volver flourishing it in the lady's face and after cursing her slapped her in the face ; and there was not a white man on board that train with courage enough to resent the outrage not only to the lady but to the whit race at large. The niggar was taken off the train at Ka lama by an officor but what was done with him has not been reported. It is a pity that such brutes, either white or black, were cot given the privilege of stretching hemp. Alexander tlamiltoa." State Senator B. F.

Dated Roseburg, Douglas County Ore gon, March 9th, 1903. Geo. Dim mick, County Treasurer. Hitchcock Will Act. While the Congress flailed to take anv action upon the bills offered looking to the better protection of the public lands of the nation, it is the intention of the interior department officials to use every eiiort in their power to prevent a con tinoauce of the frauds that have been pract ced In connection with the home stead and timber and stone acts for some years past. There ia no need of addi tional evidence to show the necessity of these precautionary measures. During the fiist ninety days of the present fiscal year 6,190,000 acres of public land were hied upon under the different provisions of the law. If this rate is maintained for the year, the public land area will be reduced by about 25,000,000 acres, and would be completely exhausted within five years. There ia evidence to show that men and women have been hired to take up homesteads, and after paying for them under the commutation alauseoftbe homestead act have sold them to syndicates which have grown rich out of them.
