.IOI1N A. GKISENDOKFEK'S ORATION.
Mr. Geisendorfer's oration was
upon the subject of "Our National
Future." He said: "Few sup
pose that these years of peaceful
prosperity in which we are quietly
developing a continent are proving
to be the crisis in the nation's
destiny. To attribute to much im
portance to the present upon first
thought may seem extravagant.
The pulse and pace of the world
has b"en marvelously quickened.
The facilities for travel have been
greatiy increased. In 1840 six
months were required to make a
journey from New York to Oregon ;
now the same can be accomplished
in six day. The world has moved
from isolation and its natural con
sequents, suspicion, distrust, to a
nee exchange ot ldtas and com
modities. Government is now for
the people. There is a liberty of
thought and action. Slavery has
been abolished. Woman has
stepped from her low place of
servitude to man to an equal rank
with him.
Our nation was born amid the
stormy convulsions that shook the
earth and gave us our liberty. It
has stood tne stormy test and the
darkness of civil revolution and
civil rebellion. It has batthd
against the blackness of treason,
socialism, mormonism, all other
powers of evil have conspired to
gether and writhed in fury against
its battlements. Political corrup
tion and avarice has sought to
undermine it, against all these
contending forces it stands firm.
Although it has seen but little
more than one century of national
life, yet no other republic has ever
readied its high degree of national
prosperity.
Notwithstanding our hkh ex
altation there are many Joes that
strike at our foundation and
threatens our very national life.
Foreign immigration is one of the
t'niteU States most immediate
i dangers, for America is the asylum
I for ttie world. ?he opens her
! doors and invites all the oppressed
from every land to com' and share
her blessings. At present there is
a.; iniiow oi over HMO adav. Thev
c nie lo us in most cases a heter-
; ogeneous mass, intoxicated with an
. exaggerated and pernicious idea of
! liberty and witn an avericious
I thirst for gold. They are lovers of
i individual issue a. the records ot
! our warehouses and pri.-ons show,
i c joruiiig to careful calculation .n
: L'.'-w ti.t-ie will :e 4:;.ou.!,0uo I
i loreigners. Our population now is
I only o O' vUnso. Ihe question now
; incomes, si i ad we Americanize
this great army or shall they over
j come u? ?
Another threatening evil is the
! negro problem. Tii-.;re are 7,0;),
j 000 negroes in the United States,
I and tiiev are increasing at the rate
of C-JG per day, hence there is not
much 'danger of their dying out.
They exert a telling influ
ence upon our government, for
they have 1,500,000 votes in their
hands and elect 61 of our 325 con
gressmen and 16 of our 76 senators.
They control 75 of our 401 electoral
votes. The great majority of this
million and a half of men are
unable to read or write. The elec
tive franchise is placed in the
hands of a million men who are
absolutely ignorant, and they are
told to vote upon the most difficult
and intricate subjects, "involving
the interest of a continent and the
destiny of 60,000,000 people."
Such an experiment was never
tried by a nation before, and the
future alone can decide what will
be its effect.
If the dangers that are threat
ened by socialism, mormonism,
political corruption, intemperance
and wealth can be avoided, what
unlimited possibilities are before
us. Our press, customs, laws,
climate, origin and institutions all
tend to elevate, quicken, refine and
ennoble our civilization.
And as the Aryan race overcame
the Finns and "the Russians tiie
Tartars, and as the North Amer
ican aborigines are being overcome
and supplanted by a more vigorous
race. &o we in the future will
overcome all nations less intelli
gent and vigorous and will become
the center of power, wealth and
authority, having given our lan
guage to and Anglo-Saxonized,nay
.Americanized mankind.
ORATION OF COLLINS ELKINS.
An oration on the topic, "Man
the Architect of His Own Fortune,"
was then delivered by Collins AV.
Elkins, who said :
Each time that the orb of day
uncovers the world and enfolds it
with his warmth we have some
further evidence of tiie; fact that j
man nas power to shape his career.
Each day we speak less of chance j
and luck and see mote and mor.
the power and privilege ot shaping
destiny and how much depends
upon our own actions. The argu
ment of the infidel and the fatalist
find no confirmation in nature.
There is nothing in science or
in any of the knowledge of which
man may avail himself, that will
go one step to prove that anything
happens by chance. Man "gener
ally recognizes and realizes that
nature works by fixed and immuta
ble laws. No army of czar or king
was ever more regular than the
tides in their ebb and flow. The
stars, the sun, the earth and in
fact every atom of substance moves
in accordance with the great law of
gravitation the physical man is
under law in regard to health and
the preservation of his life from
injury. Then, too, there are moral
laws without which civilization
would be impossible, and yet far
above all are ihe laws relating to
the immortal soul and its life.
"All are but pai.s of one stupendous whole,
Whose oody nature is and God the soul."
If man knew the laws in obe
dience to which occurred the earth
quake and the pestilence, the flood
and the drouth, the wandering of
thought and the destination of na
tions, as well as he knows the laws
of astronomy and mathmatics,
would he not be able to predict the
now unforseen dangers and pro
vide a way of escape. It is not in
man's power to nend all circum
stances to his will, or to continual
ly avoid affliction and misfortune,
but by careful management he
may so steer his bark through the
reefy sea of circustances, that the
fair haven may be ;eached at last.
Man may learn to control himself
as well as he can learn a problem
in geometry or in the conjugation
of a verb. What man calls genius
is only the fruit of labor and
thought. It is not only man's
privilege to contend against cir
cumstances and to endeavor to
overcome them, but it is his duty
to do so. It lies within our power
to give up to circumstances and to
allow them to heap upon us and at
last to overcome us, or it is in our
power to exert ourselves to throw
them off, and to gaze through the
parted clouds into the blue heav
ens beyond. Man is the architect
of his cwn fortune. The royal
path of life is fraught with labor
and thought.
"Ad astra per pulverum."
"Genius born may grovel in the
dust, genius made will mount up
to the skies."
The orations were lollowed by a
charming duet by Mr. Adair and
Mrs. Cochran.
Then followed the conferring of
degrees by President E. N. Condit,
and the exercises closed with ben
ediction by Rev. H. P. AVebb.
The entire programme was one
of high literary merit, reflecting
much cr-bt on rb faculty andstu
den s j. the c . ege.

How They Thrive aad Multiply and De
stroy Farmers' Grain.
From all over the country come
reports of the rapid increase of the
Chinese pheasants, which were
imported into Linn c.unty a few
years ago by Hon. O. N. Denny,
then U. S. consul-general at Shang
hai, China. They are already
more numerous than grouse, and
observing persons state that they
are fast driving the grouse, ordin
ary pheasants and quail out of the
country.
They multiply very rapidly,and
promise by the end of the period
for which" they are protected by
law to become as numerous as
robins. They raise usually three
broods each season, ranging in
number from fourteen to twenty
four each. Their first brood are
now quite large birds, and their
nests are scattered over th grain
fields of the prairie as tin-.-kiy as
hen's nests in a hay mow.
Farmers complain that they ma
terially damage grain after ' it be
gins to ripen, and in many places
they are killed as ruthlessly as if
no law protected them. . Garden
ers complain, also-that these birds
are most destructive to their grav
ing crops.
They are said to be swifter on
foot than a wild turkej-, and are
very hard game to bag, hunters
rarely being able to get a shot at
them except on the wing, which
opportunity is seldom offered, as
they usually run from their pur
suers instead of flying. It is not
right to slaughter these birds as
long as they are protected by law,
and if they are really multiplying
too fast and are damaging tai mer s I
crops then the law had better be j
repealed. Certain it is that they j
are becoming very numerous, and i
that with a few more seasons of I
protection by the game law the
Willamette Valley will be thor
oughly stocked with a very gamey
class of birds. Unless the act pro
tecting them is repealed il will not
expire until Nov. 21, 1891, six
years from the passage of the act
"by the special session ot the legis
lature, or about three and a half
years hence.

Oregoman says of them: Several
days since a citizen of Albany
wrote to U. S. District Attorney
McArthur, stating that George and
Frank Cook, two youug men of
that city had been furnishing li
quor to Indians. They had heen
arrested, but on its being found
that they could not be tried in the
state court, it was determined to
applj to the United States author
ities. Bench warranf were ac
cordingly issued by the U. S.
court, which were returned vester-
dav with the voudk men. When j
arraigned in the II. S. district
cburt each entered a plea of ru:ity
and as it was their first offense aud
they were n t vicious characters,
aDd promised not to con.m;t such
an offense again, they weie let off
with a fine of $10 each.
