1. The first important tiling 18 to
LOOK AT Al.r, THE I'AOTH,
And the one important fact that strikes mo is
that nil hondlumism is a result of abnormal de
velopment. It is a perversion and a waste of
useful energies. The blame for this lies not
with the offenders alone. It lies partly with
parents, partly with law-makers, partly with
mu-ii.tv at hirce. There is soinothing wrong or
something lacking in any community that de
Yolops such a state cf tilings.
2. The next important thing is to deal with
the facts in such a way as to produce general
and
IT.IIJIASEXT UTM I.TS.
We need to deal with causes, not with symp
toms; not merely to provide punishments, but
remedies. We should regard the future. Our
present inconveniences are small matters. The
future of these boy, and of the community,
should be deeply considered: We should realize,
too, that the work of years, or rather
tho neglect of years, can only be
eradicated by persistent, patient and continuous
f.nv.rt. To detect and punish a few individuals
is an easy matter. To lesson and gradually
eradicate criminal tendencies is another and
far more difficult task. It is also a difficult
thing to select such modes of dealing with of
fenders as shall save them aud at the same
time nrotect the community. And this is a
question of special importance when dealing
with jenvenile offenders.
Now, there are three great romedies for the evil
of which we speak, no ore of which any commu
nity can afford to neglect. They are
WOIIK, EDUCATION AND EELIOION.
The two former should be made compulsory
by statute Idleness should be counted a dis
grace. Every man should have a visible means
of snnnort. and every hoy, w hether he be rich
or pom-, should le educated with that require
ment in view. Every kind of work should be
counted honorable, and every form of idlene iB
disgraceful.
Education, to some definite extent, should be
made free to all and compulsory upon all. Less
effort should be spent on show and more on the
real thing ; less on tho so-called "higher educa-
tiou" of a chosen few, and more on the "com
mon education" of the masses. In
common Bchools there should be
a system of grading on the score of conduct us
well ob on aptness iu recitations. Reform Bchools
should till a place in the regular systems, com
bining work with etudy.
Police regulations should help th system.
All boys under age should bo under restraint at
borne or in the calaboose after dark.
The home should also be governed and rci
lated with a veiw to the general result.
Society at large has au uuestimated influence.
The example of growu men drinkers.BmokerF,
law-breakers, loafers, bummers,- that are call'
ed "clever gentlemen, these make nooaiums.
Society Bhould make one rule for men and
women, one for boys and girls, in the matter of
morals and purity as in self reliance and inde
pjudeuce. Religion is a great prompting motive that rn
doilies all this, placing it on a basis of huinuai
tv and benevolence.
The real work of the church is in this line, If
it neglects this work it dies. If it dses it, it
will live.
Our work Is not to tear each other to pieces
about minor beliefs not to bnild up denomina
tional establishments at war with each other
not towage a blind warefare with scientific dis-
iverors, hut to cherish hope, to help good gov
ernment to encourage educatiou, to save Uie
race from sin.

The old adage, savs tho Corvallis Gazette, of
"Strika while the iron is hot," should bo ob
served in tho Yaquina railroad project, and
now in that time. There never was a more fa
vorable time to move forward iu this enterprise
timn tlm nreseut. Our national aflairs are all
peacefully and harmoniously arranged; conli
dtnee is restored in business relations, and
everything denotes prosperous times and ease
in financial matters. The next harvest, from
present appearances, and the unprecedented
acreage sown, will be far tho most abundant
ever realized in Oiegon, and it is quite certain
that good prices will rule for wheat. All thing;
i-nnsidered. a brighter future, tor Oregon
never seemed more evident. In addition to all I
these advantages, the high freights that have
ruled on tho Willamette, the past year, and
the threatened monopoly of the transportatiou
on the same, has roused the farmers to consider
their own true interests, which is the most di
rect and cheapest route to an unfailing market.

It was our privilege as well as a pleasure to
have liBteued to the singing at the First Tres
byterian Ctiurch Sunday evening, and it would
pcarcely be fair, ;on the supposition that we
were disposedHo criticise, we would not, if we
could, aud could not if we would, indicate, by
preference our ideas of excellence. Without
disparagement to any, there are two young
ladies in that choir that need not be ashamed to
sing before any audience; and further we will
say that the choir as a whole, under their effi
cient leader, L. G. Adair, will be found compet
ing for ail the honors in first-class singing.

Miss Chamberlin, elsewhere, gives notice of
time and place, for meeting her class in vocal
