Myer’s Block.eaat side Main street. ¡OregoUMU, Aug. 31.J Oliver Wendell Holme« m the cur­ rent number of the Atlantic discusses ■ the orthodox dogma of everlasting | punishment. Some two years ago, ‘ the gpwotl nwf «"><> asked for bls j views, but has waits I until now to ; hear from juusls ou “the alleged but disputed value of the hangman’s whip | overhangiug the witness box.” He I begins ins reply by saying that a man ! like himself, who has passed bis eighth , decade, has serious views regarding I the future, and bis oxpreshious are not lightly uttered npou "a tremendous question that concerns not only our­ selves, but all whom we love or have ever loved, all our human brother­ hood, as well as our whole idea of tbe being who made us, and tbe relation in which he stands to his creatures.” Like Byrant, Dr. Holmes grew up un­ der the old “orthodox" or Calviuistic belief, and in his early years accepted it, but, like Bryant, grew out of this narrow creed. Thirty years ago Holtnts was denounce«! bv an eminent theologian as “a moral parricide" be­ cause he attacked some of the doc­ trines of his father’s creed. Jonathan Edwards wrote that "anybody who was out of Christ was as a viper, and hated worse than a viper in the 6igbt I of God," and Dr. Holmes inquires i whether it was “parricide in the sec­ ond or third degree, when a descend­ ant of Edwards struck out that veno­ mous sentence from the page in which it stood as a mouumeut to what depth Christian heathenism will sink under the teaching of that great master of I logic and spiritual inhumanity." If the generally profeasetl belief of the Protestant world, as expressed in their creeds, that the great mass of mankind are destiued t<» an eternity I ■ of bodily pain, according to the literal teaching of tbeScriptures, Dr. Holmes sins that the hatred of God to man­ kind in virtue of their first disobedi- itnee aud inherited depravity is at the bottom of it, and, according to tbe teaching of Edwards, man inherits tbe curse of God as hie principal birth­ right. This doctrine of the fail of man as the ground of inflicting eudless misery on the human race, that a man should be punished for what lie could not help, should lie called to acconnt for Adam’s sin. Dr. Holmes describes as the reasoning of tbe wolf with the lamb transferred to the dealings of llie Creator with his creatures. This doctrine John Morley calls “the most frightful idea that has ever corroded human cluiracter.” Towards the end of tbe last century the seuse of tbe barbarism of this idea bad already be­ come eo stroug that Burns duretl to say: “The fear of livll’- a Itangittan'» a liip To bold tin a retch lu order." «12 00 . 1 50 Pnntinq THE RATIO OF GROWTH. Doctor Holmes answers tbe ques­ tion, “where did this frightful idea of sicepless ai.tl endless torment come front," by saying that the legendary liell of the church is nothing more nor less than the Tartarus of the oil heathen world. Our niicestors hung their grandmothers on the strength of llie positive Biblical command “Thon sbalt not suffer tbe witch to live,” but even as civilization has outgrown witchcraft, so it is fast outgrowing the Christian Tartarus. Civilization has crowded out tbe old superstitious legends by the “naked individual pro­ test, the voice of tbe inspiration which giveth man understanding," uttered by Burns in Scotland, Bryaut, Long­ fellow, Whittier, in America. This was the poet’s part iu preaching tbe new gospel that has supplanted that of Edwards. Tbe text books of as­ tronomy aud geology have worked their way between tbe questions and answers of the catechisms, and the doctrine of evolution lias sultslituted infinite hope in place of infinite des­ pair for the vast majority of mankiml, who will not wait iu vain for tbe reali­ zation of Milton’s vision of tbe time, lien Hell itself shall pass away. flammation»; cuts and wounds aru alike dis­ turbances to natural action, through which the veins are cloggod. circulation impeded, congestion seta in aud pains ensue.

It is uow Certain that the imputa­ tion of the United States, including the Territories, is not lees than 64,- (44),(44). It has been set down by es­ timate somewhat higher. The figures generally employed have lieen 65,(44),- (*4), but, taking the smaller number, the increase in the last decade uas b en 28 per cent, which is a somewhat smaller ratio of increase then has been known during the present oen- tury, with the exception of tl>e decade from 1860 to 1870, when, by reaaou of the great loss of life in the Civil War, I he ratio of growth for that decade w as only 22.65. During all the other iteriods it has exoeeded 30 per cent, fut hereafter the ratio may Dot ex­ ceed 28 per oent—and there is good ground for supposing that it will not, but may fall to 25 per cent, because it is constantly to be baaed on greater rggregate numbers. The ratio may slowly decline, while the actual in­ crease is not lessened. The increase of population in the ratio of 25 per oent for each decade during the next sixty years has been figured out re­ cently by statisticians with the result that in the year 1900 our population will be 80,000,000, in 1930 it will be 156,000,000 and in 1950 at the same rate 244,000,000. It is true that this growth cannot lie demonstrated be- youd a doubt. It cannot lie assumed as certain that up to 1950 the ratio of growth of each decade will be equal to 25 per cent. But there ia a stroug probability that for a quarter of a •enlitrv ibis ratio will hold good. The year ¡800 Itegan with a popula- Hun in ti.ut country a little excoediug 5.1 XR),00i *. The close of the century, fen vears hence, will find a popula- turn of 80,000,000.

The census of 1887 found a population in Russia of 111,354,649. The census of 1881 showed a popula­ tion in Great Britain of 35,246,603. It is now estimated to lie equal to 38,- OOi).(MX). It follows that the majority of English-speaking people are in the United States; and it follows with reasonable certainly that this major­ ity will be greater for every decade included in the next half-century. For ninety j ears the average ratio of growth by decades has exceeded by a fracliou ¡13 per cent. Even if the ratio were to drop down to half of this ¡>er eeut during the next half century the population of this country would lead that of all other nations. [S. F. Bul­ letin.

For many years the military nations of Europe have been experimenting with small arms and ammunition; each tyjte of the niie has hud its day from the Snyder to the needle gun, the Winchester, the Kruka, the Berdan, the Soper and the Martini Heury. Meanwhile, tile United States have been looking on, wisely* concluding that it was cheaper to let other nations experiment and adopt the result of their studies, rather than arm our little army and our nulitia with a weapon which might be discarded shortly after its adoption. Within a few months the military authorities of Germany have concluded to re arm their vast army with a rifle slightly altered from the weapon in use in Switzerland, aud our war department now announces that it will follow the example. The new rifle will have a calibre of 30 instead of 45, which is the calibre of the Springfield rille. By using the latest kind of smokeless powder, which is known as the Maxim powder, an in­ itial velocity of about 1,8(4) feet jier second will t>e ohtaiued as again t an initial velocity of 1,350 feet per second, which is the rule with the Springfield ntie loaded with the powder now in use. Tins gain in velocity will give the bullet a Hatter trajectory, aud will obviate the necessity of tiring at the high angle at which the Springfield rifle must lie trained when used at long range. The diminution of the calibre will enable the soldier to carry more charges. The German riHe is a repeating weapon, auil its power is such that a bullet penetrates hard wikm ! to the depth of two inches at a distance of 2,000 yards. It will not lie perfect until some further improve­ ments are made in the powder used. At present all the smokeless powders are affected by atmospheric changes; some of them are actually destroyed by moisture. There are now about 100,000 Spring­ field rifles iu use in this country, in the bauds of the regular army and militia. They cost the government 812 and 813 each. If they were all to lie withdrawn at once, and the new small-bore rifle substituted,; the cost would lie very large indeed. It is proposed to make the substitution gradually; by which plan the old Spiiugiields may in a few years, be all replaced out of the regu­ lar appropriation for the ordnance de­ partment aud the militia fund. If we are to keep up a nulitia, it snould I m * armed wit h the best possible weapon.' The old Springfield lias doue good work iu its day. But its useful­ ness has at last passed away. CAR-LOAD J. S.
