CLUBBED TO DEATH.
That's What Will Happen to the Re
publican Party if Brice's Advice
is Heeded. i .
Iowa Republicans in Session. No
Public Debt Statement Can be Got
At Other News.
New .York, July 1. Chairman Brice,
chairman of the National Democratic
Committee, has written a letter of warn
ing and advice to his fellow members of
the National Committee. The ' letter
embodies advice in. regard to the associa
tion of democratic clubs, and the neces
sity of the National Committee co-operating
with them.
"The plan of campaign, of the republi
cans," he says, "is a colossal system of
clubs to be maintained and supported
by unlimited means drawn from the
pockets of beneficiaries of the monopoly
policy. "inis system,' ne urges "can
only be met by an equally extensive
system of voluntary democratic clubs,
that is, the associations of people in their
several neighborhoods, for the defense of
their rights and interests against those
bonded to assail them."
Brice thinks the approaching struggle
is to be one mainly between clubs, and
this is greatly to be desired that a nni
form and perfected system of democratic
societies throughout the country be or
gauized and put in intimate association
with each other before the beginning
of next year. .-

In assuming the chair Stone made a
stirring speech which was interrupted
many times by applause.
Having thanked the convention for
the distinction of being called upon to
preside over it he said : "A most im
portant crisis is upon us. The political
power of the state is at stake."
"The good results achieved by the re
publican party during its rule of thirty
years is endangered. The democratic
party of Iowa is in battle and in am
bush." For governor, . Hiram C. Wheeler of
Odebolt, Sac county, was nominated on
i the first ballot.

IN MEMORIAL
Noble Words Fitly Spoken at Mr. At
water's Funeral Exercises.
The following were remarks made bv
Hon. W. Lair Hill at the funeral Of Mr.
Atwater on Sunday last : -
Friknds : A. little more than five years
ago two lawyers, wuose acquaintance
reached back more than twice that num
ber of years farther, sat conversing, and
tbe conversation ran, a-) on many prev
ious occasions it had run' between them,
nron the ereat problem which tbe heart
of man has struggled with from time be
fore there were, so tar as we can tell,
systems of religion ; the problem which
even yet the human intellect seems - to
have made little progress In solving:
Whence we are, why we are; and what
we shall be. In this speculative strain,
and with the sort of solemn sympathy
whicth bis-, question always brings be
tween those who talk of it, the conversa
tion ran, until one of them said : "When
I shall have met the inevitable, I should
desire that there be no great pageant
about my burial. I should desire that
no oration be spoken ; but I should de
sire that a lawyer should say some kind
things to a few friends who might gather
at that place ; because, of all the profes
sions and of all tbe guilds amongst men,
there are none where men know each
other so well as lawyers know each other ;
and because the lawyer's life is a contin
uous course of investigating and study
ing the intentions, tbe motives, the im
pulses that Kovern human conduct.
And I believe? ' he added, "that they
have generally arrived at the conclusion
that most men are as good as their or
ganizations and surroundings will allow
them to be. I want such a man to
speak of me."
Today all that is visible to human
.eyes of him who thus spoke lies in this
narrow casket, in the sleep that shall
never be broken, and tbe other comes
with loving hands to drop a flower on
his tomb to lay a little stone on tbe
monument of his memory. .
Joseph K. Atwater. whose body lies
here, was born in the province of Nova
Scotia in 1837. When he was but a little
child bis parents removed to the United
States, and settled m the state of wis-
cousin. , There Joseph was reared ; there
he received . tbe education- which tbe
schools of that western country gave ;
and there he began his career as a man.
When he had attained to his majority,
pursuing -an aptness for letters - whieh
he had developed in his school days, be
became the editor of a newspaper at the
town of Jenerson. Wisconsin. This en
terprise he carried on until the war of
the rebellion broke out. Then, follow
ing that impulsiveness . which was al
ways, before and after., a characteristic
of his life readv to make anv sacrifice
he gave up hie newspaper to go to the
defense of his country, entering the
army as a lieutenant and serving two
years, during which time he was pro
moted to the position of captain in the
First Wisconsin cavalry. At the end of
two years he resigned his commission in
the army, and returning home entered
as a student the law office of . Angus
Cameron, then an able and distinguish
ed lawyer, afterwards United States sen
ator from the state of Wisconsin. - After
admission to the bar he removed to Min
nesota and entered upon the practice of
the profession. In 1870, while yet very
young, he was elected a member of the
legislature of the state of Minnesota.
After his term as legislator expired, and
in the year 1874 bocame to Oregon, set
tling in Portland. Then my first ac
quaintance with him began, an acquain
tance which soon ripened into the warm
est friendship.- In 1877 he came to Tbe
Dalles, Wjhicb has been his borne ever
since. ,
In the nature of our constitutions are
the beginnings of what we shall be.
We do but build on foundations which
are laid we know not how.- Nature did
much for Mr. Atwater. I recollect him
when we first became acquainted, before
ill health bad impaired his vigor, as you
who were here in tbe early years recol
lect him one of the most brilliant men
to whom it was my privilege, to whom
it -was your privilege, to lis en. He had
a mind capable ot the quickest grasp,
able to comprehend in tbe shortest time,
and with the briefest statement, all the
details of any matter which might be
brought before him. Indeed, I think,
amongst all the men with whom I have
come in contact in thirty years of asso
ciation with men in a profession where
contact means attrition, I have met no
man who seemed to grasp all of a com
plex and complicated matter with a cel
erity that this man did. And his power
of expression was but the counterpart of
that quickness and thoroughness which
marked the attention of bis mind always."
A whole complication of matters could
be by him condensed into a single sen
tence, yet without that involvement
which oftentimes obscures the idea.
Clear, lucid, no one could hear and not
understand. So with his pen.- He was
one of the most facile writers I - ever
knew. His sentences needed no modifi
cation ; they fell round, complete. '.
And deeper than all these gifts lay the
gift of a large heart and generous mind.
He could not wound. - In the temptations
that come in the court room (I speak of
him . now as a brother in the profession
of law, for that has been his life and
mine) ; in the conflicts that come in the
court room he was the readiest of all of
us at repartee, and the ony one of us
who in repartee never wounded. His
wit was a perennial fountain, but it was
of that most happy kind that made even
his adversary feel better for the thrust.
So keen was his sense of humor that
sometimes, the most serious things took
on, to him, a humorous -aspect. He
would laugh at that which others would
think was a serious thing to himself.
He was among the few men I have ever
known Who could laugh at his own dis
comfiture heartily with another even
with his adversary : and he would often
repeat the circumstances over to others,
with colorings against himself, in order
that Others- might also enjoy a laugh at
his expense.
And this same generosity controlled
his ideas of business. Mr. Atwater put
nothing away. He made no effort, to
acquire wealth, although he might, have
acquired it. His talents would have
brought it. Neither was he ambitious
of position. That to which so many men
are attracted as the central idea of their
existence, and for which so many men
sacrifice the sweetest relations in life,
had no attractions for him. I have talk
ed with him many times on the subject
that so many lawyers find dear to speak
of, the ambition for fame, position, dis
tinction. . He would none of it. bo
clearlv he saw the littleness of all
human enterprise;-that even the am
bitions of mankind were to be laughed
at. This took away one inspiration to
effort, so that often to him there came
discouragements,- and he would speak of
them. " There is nothing to be gained
by the daily strife of labor," he would
say. "It comes to nothing, why should
we not lay aside our armor and reet."
Amongst all the people with whom be
came in contact, in a life of contact with
men. I dare say not one today cherishes
an ill thought of tbe man who lies here.
And this because he was a gentle, loving
and forgiving man. I dare say, too,
that when the hour. came, to part with
this life, if he could have recalled all the
relations he had sustained with men, he
would have found not one bitter thorglit
" I . 1 I - l-1 1 . iTi.
againBt a unman oeing. socii a me,
such a character, compels respect, esteem
and cherished memory. We shall al
ways cherish the memory of such a life,
no matter what trifling defects t !)
may have been. Here lies a man whose
memory every one who knew bini re
spects, and those who knew him mwt
intimately were most attached to him
None knew him to turn away from him
To know him once, to know him well,
was always to feel a personal intercut in
his welfare.
When death calls a friend awav we
are startled into taking up again the old
problem of the tomorrow of death. It
would be difficult to speak much of that
for me, at least, to speak much of t hat.
But there is that to be said yet in which
is the strength of hope. True, no one
can eay that knowledge, derived from
human investigation has ever brought
forth any information upon the subject
of our future Blank darkness is all
that we can see when we look into the
future with only the light of the inves
tigations of science. And even the book
which we call the word of God does not
bring consolation to all. But there is
strength and hope in the fact that far
back of all systems of religion man has
believed that his life is not the end of
all things. Whatever may be the opin
ion of men about systems of religion,
whatever one may say of the theologies,
whatever word or form of words we may
employ to designate the Power above us
that mat:es righteousness, whether we
name it God, or let it go unnamed, and
whatever we may think of the. origin, of
this visible universe about us, the hope
of immortality does not depend on these
views. It is a thing apart from notions
of theology. Here lies a man who had
no relations to the church, but I know
that in his thoughts (for the subject I
now speak of was a subject of his fre
quent conversation he was a religious
man. Systems of theology, systems "of
religion are but the garb but the cloth
ing that men have put around that in
nate knowledge of our relation to
the Power above us, which is at the
center of all systems of religion, and
is religion's self. The clothing may
change as our dress changes with tbe
fashion of the time, but the central
thing of faith in a blessed future remains
through all time through all the de
structions of systems. It did not owe
itself to them: it will survive them.
Tbe believe of a future life takes hold
upon a proposition that science fails to
reach ; for tbe mind grasps at once tbe
fact that the conditions of this problem
are outside the reach of human intellect.
Whether I reason of God, and whether I
accept as revelation the book we receive
as such ; though I deny the one and re
ject the other, I still must see that tbe
question to ' be solved as to my future
life is not touched by any of these.
Science can give no explanation-that will
enable one to grasp the thought of mind
developed out of matter. - 4 hatever be
the possible connection of the two, we
see the future life-only by faith. Man
has believed it as far back as we can
trace. The savage, whose system of re
ligion made God a vengeful being like
himself, whose thought connected future
life only .with war, and -the chase, tstiil
giasped the belief in immortality, and
only degraded it bv his. low ideas of sys
tem. As crude theories fadeaway, aud
crude it eas of the conflict between scienct.
and religion die out, the grasp of faith,
becomes stronger. The euect of all this
perception of the impotency of tbe .in
tellect, has been, to strengthen faith,
which thus finds out that iucannot rely
upon science to solve the question
Faith fears science no longer, for they
operate in different sphere?.
Faith, then, that belief which ta&us
hold instinctively without other premise
than itself and draws tbe distant to ns, is
the faculty by which, above and beyond
all our senses, we see the truth. Faith
in the tomorrow of death, faith in the
bright awakening from this sleep, has.
pierced, and will ever pierce, the dark
ness tliat hangs over the leaden stream.
It brings to our vision the forms of
those we loved" here, and we see them
extending "bands and welcoming as;
and then we know that this which we
have laid in this casket is not our friend
that was ; this is but the garment he was
here clothed with. But faith goes on
beyond this vision. It shows us . the
bridge by which we too shall pass over
and grasp the hands that wait to wel
come us. It is tbe support of patience.
Our part now is simply to bear the bur
den. - :
Here lies one who thought it wrong to
jostle a brother bearing bis burden along
tbe journey of life. But he goes' away ;
and these follow. And while they look
across with the eye of faith and see him
reaching out to welcome them, saying to
them, he shall only wait a little until
they come, strengthened by the assur
ance that by and bv they will go, to
complete the duty that calls them here.
Faith makes light the duty here ; and
duty brings tbe healing to ' our grief.
r riends, here is not the loved one that is
gone, lie is over there, i ou have du
ties before yon. Turn vou to the work
of the living, 4tnd he whom you mourn
as dead will await vou. You will go
over by and bv, with duty done, to be
welcomed Dy him on the other shore.
Nothing more can be said. He has gone
to rest. All the toil and struggle that
made life hard to htm, all tbe struggle
with, his own weaknesses are over and
now he rests, and how the tired cherish
the though r of rest ! Rest, good friend,
and fare well !
