THE CHAHGEim AND u IIAWLKr, a a aji i ii , ajaivuii uaiiriiitv I and Woodburn granges, these) places all being La Marion coun- ty. have unanimously adopted resolutions declaring their opposi tion to a ship subsidy, to tbe "ex ceeding high tariff" on ship mater ials, and other commodities, and to an Increase of postage on periodicals. These granges "call upon our con gressmen to see to it that this ship subsidy scheme does not become a legalized wrong, and .to use every honorable means to have Ihe Iniquity of tbe tariff tax and ship registry laws amended out of the laws." They also suggest that instead of increas ing postage rates on periodicals, ex cessive payments for carrying mails bo cut down. These men are citizens of,' the most populous county in Represen tative Hawl'ey's- district, and his home county. Most of them are or have been Republicans, and toted for him. They are intelligent, read ing, reflecting men, who understand pretty well what they are talking about. Will -Mr. Hawley bear and hred what they have to say? .It la f-flfe to assert that not one out of 50 of these men is in favor of Can nonlsm, of such a speaker as Can non, of the Payne-Aldrich tariff, or of the policies in general of these loaders In congress. Yet Mr. Haw ley votes for and with Cannon every time; he la on record aa favoring the "Iniquities" of the ."exceeding high tariff," as a whole and in detail, and he presumably will support the ship subsidy bill. "Under these cir cumstances, can he reasonably ex pect these men- to vole for hla re- , nomination, if some progressive can didate should oppose him in the pri maries, ob jto vote for his reelection If hla opponent,! Republican or Dem ocrat, will represent their'" views, wishes and interests? Si ',' ; -:) And Mr. Hawley might as well realize that It .is not only, these .grangers of Marion county who hold 'these views, but : the grangers all Tover his district have like opinions, .They have become enlightened upon j the "iniquity" of - the "exceeding high tariff," arid of the 'ship ; sub sidy scheme, and of Cannonlsm and ' Aldrlchlsm, as it seems Mr. Hawley Tias not The atmosphere ' out'-pn the farms of Oregon Is different, .perhaps clearer and purer, than it is In the national capltol. - T HAS BEEN said that if. during , the civil war, another than Lin coin had been president, the con atltutlon might have been saved and the union lost, No statesman evef faced so vast a vicissitude. Self government in its latest and gre est experiment was on trial. W great Issue that had been compromised In the Initial convention, that had been compromised at intervals' for 75 years and on which tension had been accumulating from the1 beginning, was at its crisis, with the country split In twain over the question of what was to.be its eolation. Tbe appeal to reason had passed the pos sibilities, and jm appeal to arms had come. The vital' factor of material interests was the cohering issue on one aide and tbe abstract thesis of a moral question' on the other. The south was under arms, and its .an nounced purpose was secession. Whether under-the-constitution he had the authority to levy troops and by force of arms' prevent disunion. and how far there was warrant for hira to go in that extraordinary pro cedure was the. terrible alternative with which the executive was con fronted. It was a decision upon which hung the tremendous issue of union or disunion, upon which de pended the momentous, question of whether or not the states were to remain "one and Inseparable, now and forever." How this problem agonized the souls of those charged with administering the affairs of the country is a story the full depth of J which human language will never be able to tell or human expresHlon be able to fully portray. ; Brave and gentle, courageous and kind, Lincoln rose to the heights of statesmanship. The hour made the man. The rails split on the frontier, the lowly boyhopd in the far-flung forests, the nights of study by, the flickering candle light, the laborious climb from the lower level to tbe highest, the stern actualities of a slow transition from the log cabin to the White House these in their educative processes,' had exalted, him for the patient but potential resolu tion with which he met the over whelming vicissitudes of the time. In the full of magnificent manhood, he rose until he towered far above the congresses, the armies, the, fac tions and the forces around him, and stood majestic, masterful and com manding. In the name and, for the sake of an undivided people he struck and scourged, but always with the forbearance and gentleness of a father. ' Chroniclers may write encomiums and sculptors chisel statues of Lin coln. ; Orators may pronounce eulo glutns and, painters commemorate his virtues on canvas. Marble, gran ite and parchment may be Invoked to make bis name enduring, .but as a tribute to him they are as puny as a handful of clay against the forces of the universe. His monument Is an undlsmembered nation, a. union of .states, one and Inseparable, now and forever. one of the largl Interior cities of the country, so that there I room there for thfs new newspaper that has been launched- under favorable auspices.

The falling off in the Republican vote showed that hundreds of ; Republicans - resented Cannonlsm and hOBsIsnv preferring to vote for the Democrat rather than stand for Ihe things that, the Can- non-Aldrich crowd : represent.
