Tho following prayer of an old colored
minister four years ago, on tho evo of
the presidential election ia good eitough
to republish. It will be remembered
that the prayer waa fully answered.
The old man told: "O, Lord, aavo the
countrv from the hands of them who ia
trying to but it up. Give ua plenty of
work and good mouey for it, bo we cn
take care of our wives and children, end
buv good bread and meat and pay for it.

Thee, don't let him do no harm ; forgive
his sins that he is committing every day,
an then knock the stuflin out of him
next November."
Young America and a consjtlerable
section of Old America were out in force
yesterday alongjhe neighboring creeks
after the festive trout. Their success,
like that of ancient Cie?ar,was various,
but most of them cameback without
being actually "skunked ' wherever or
however they got the fie h ; while several
had faiily well-filled baskets. Joe
Heroux, either by virtue of the fact or
aB the just recompense of a powerful
imagination, is entitled to first prize,
lie claims he capLhreil a salmon trout,
just u little above tho Ninth street
bridge, that measured 33 inches and
weighed four and a half pounds. -
Pearl Jolea is entitled to a diploma for
nerve and horsemaidenship, so to speak.
She was one of the excursionists to Hood
River last Saturday and as Bhe and Maud
MrLeod had mounted u hack at the boat
landinc tho hoys of the graduating class
roared out their class yell and the horses,
as any decent Christian horses would
have done on hearing such an uneaithly
noise, ran towards home at lull gallop.
Maud jumped out and fortunately did
not break her neck or some leSB vital
part of her anatomy, but Pearl stuck to
tho wagon, dusked under the seat and
grabbed the Hues and in duo time pulled
the frightened steeds to a standstill.
The secretary of the interior has prac
tically decided that the number of sheep
to be allowed to graze in the Ranier for
est reservation during the coming sum
mer slndl be limited to 250,000, the cat
Ho to 6500, and the horses to 1000. Until
further notice, this grazing will be al
lowed without charge. The secretary ia
anxious to impose a charge of from two
to four cents on each head of sheep, and
and from 10 to 12 cents on horses and
cattle, but HiuIb he has no authority to
make this charge and will request con
gress to grant him that authority. It is
very doubtful If congress will take such
action, as there is a generul sentiment
among many western men against im
posing u churgu for grazing on tho pub
lie lands. No sheep or cattle from Ore-
gon will bo allowed on tho reserve.
McAlister, who was arrested hero
Friday for soliciting subscription for an
alleged orphan asylum at Cascade Locks,
ia still In the county jail. Nothing lias
developed since his arrest that makes it
certain that lie can bo held much longer.
That ho ia a fruud is beyond tho shadow
of u doubt, but to prove tliia in such a
way aa to meat the requirements of the
law ia another matter. According to
tho Aatoria News a fellow Iihb been
operating down that way on almllur
lines and the News' description answers
very well to McAlister. The prisoner is
a man between 40 jaud 60 yeurs old. Ho
has light brown hair, wears glabses,
betimes, is well-built and about five
feet nine lu height. He wears a blue
coat, panis anu cap, wiai mo uuumuu
of a printed stripe or two transfers into
the uniform of a quaRi soldier in "God's
Regular Army." Over his shirt, or
probably instead of one, he wears a dork
red woolen sweater.
(That Ik UlRlier Criticism?
This was the subject of Rev. U. F.
Hawk's sermon at the M. E. church
lastevenine. Hie text was: "Say not,
fitben, 'What is the cause that former
Jays were better than these?' for thou
Most not enquire wisely concerning this."
ijEcclesiastes vii :10.
V The preacher said: "Since the fall
of Adam there has ever been a conflict
tetween faith and unbelief. From the
death of Abel at tho hand of his elder
brother Cain, faith Iiub been heralded
aa weak and ready to die. Faith has
ever been regarded as being in tho ap
parently weak minority and unbelief in
the powerful majority, by the whole
world. Every age has had its conflicts,
and some who know little of the terrific
battles of past aes tremble lest unbelief
in the present contest will prevail over
the Captain of the Lord's Host and
snatch away the treasure of believers.
Better men than ourselves have bein
trembling for tho safety of tho ark of
God. Two hundred yeurs ago England
had its champions against the Bible.
There were Blount, Tclan 1, Shaftesbury,
Tindal, Hume and Voltaire in France.
The work of the modem critic is mostly
that of thrashing old straw. Profeeeor
Christlieb onco asked, 'Why do Ameri
cana and Englishmen gather so much of
the theological rubbllah we Germans
throw away?' There are many theo
logical scavengers. Many applaud reck
lessness in the pulpit and think it is a
type of advanced intelligence. This
may be illustrated as follows: High
Church 'Is your new minister an in
tellectual uiun?' Luke Warm 'Very.
He's been tried twice for heresy and
thinks the saloon a necessity.' "
Mr. Hawk took tlio ground that tho
present form of higher criticism is aim
ply German and French rationalism
over again. Tlio predictions of eight
eenth century rationalist!) t hat Chris
tianity would in a short time vanish
from tho earth had been falsified by
history. Tho thousands of tomes of
rationalist works produced in those
days are only known now by tho anti-
quurlan. Christianity has marched
steadily on and increasing millions have
surrendered themselves to its power.
He compared Christianity to a majestic
train ot curs sweeping past mountains
and valleys, villages and farm houses,
orchards laden with autumn fruit, und
fields of grain ripening in the autumn
sun. The passengers looked upon tho
passing scene as our fathers have looked
perhaps with awe, perhaps betimes
with a species of admiration at the
genius of such men us Hume and Vol
taire and others of their class, but the
train sped on Its msjestic way and the
passing objects are only remembered as
a dream of the night.
Tho Kxrurlin to lloixl ltlver.
Communicated.
The excursion to Hood Rivor Satur
day proved to bo a novel affair for some
sixty persons, teachers, pupils and
friends of education, who availed them
selves of tho trip. Tho wind greeted us
os we boarded tho Dalles City, but it
did not keep the merry crowd in the
cabin, as the mountains were never
grander in their first rich coloring of
spring.
As we upproached Hood River land
ing, wo saw several conveyances pro
vided by the accommodating livery man
of Hood River to take tho party to Crap
per school, where wo purposed to have
luncheon. The rain greeted us as wo
took our places in the carriages, but we
only laughed and said, "We'll take our
ride any way." By the time wo reached
the school building at Hood River it
began to snow. This welcome was irre
sistable, and it was decided to "bide a
wee" in tlio comfortable building.
After yisiting with teachers of Hood
River, the party wus entertained by tho
following impromptu program: Recita
tion by Miss Emma Roberta; song by
LotoKelsay; selections from Webster's
Bunker Hill monument orations by
Mabel Collins, Ola Norman, Earl Curtis,
Clarence Gilbert, Maud Michell, Olive
Slate, Constance Whealdo.n and Fran
cis Sexton.
Supt. Gilbert then announced that
lunch was ready and we soon proved
that we, too, were ready. ToastB were
given by Messrs. R. R. Ailard, J. T.
Neff, J. S. Landers, E. L. Smith, G. W.
Brown, Fred H. Barnes, Charles W.
Dietzel, Revs. Hershuer and Bonson
and Misses Bess Isenberg and Melissa
Hill.
Tho toasts brought sunshine. For
how long? We promised not to tell.
Wo know somo of the party took a short
drive up the valley, returning in time
to wait an hour for tho boat. But oven
waiting did not discourage tho pleasure
seekers. With the singing, tho Humor
ous cIusb yells, the calla for lost baskets,
and the story of lost horses from tho
Dufur delegation, the time quickly
passed.
Coming homo is always a pleasure j
and as tho company parted ut ths dock
there seemed to bo written on evory
face, "I urn glad that wo are at home,
and although wo did not have what wo
expected, wu enjoyed much which we
did not expect."
