Deak Frikndb :
1 wish to call your attention to the

State Secular Union, to bo held in
Portland, at New Aricn hall, corner of
Second and oak streets, on Saturday,
Sunday and Monday, the 11, 1 . and
1U, of October ncxr.
The object of this meeting and of
tho Oieyon State Secular Union,- is to
guarantee civil ami religious liberty to
the people; secure the taxation of
church property and oppose tho union
of church and State.
The speakers who aro to bo present
will be the beat that have yet been
together. Among them will be, viz:
Miss Katie Kilmi, of Iowa ; S. P. Put
nam ; Prof. Geo. IT. Dawes; Mrs. M. P.
Krekel, of Kansas City; lion. C. J.
Curtis, of Astoria; Mrs. A. Scott Duni
way; Judge Winsor, of Seattle, Presi
dent of the Washington State Secular
Union ; Elder Alonza T. Jones; John
E. Remsburg; Moses Hull and others.
Tho congress will close Monday even
ing, with a grand ball-
Wo want these meetings to bo a
grand success, and wo ask every liberal
in the State to co-operate with us, and
aid us in making them so. ' Will you
come forward, one and all, and ''lend
a helping hand?" Announce tho con
gress through your local papers; circu
late cards of invitation ; post up no
tices at your post office, and country
stores in fact, do all you can to lot
every one know of this great impor
tant meeting, that all may attend if
they so desire.
Write to President C. Deal, Portland,
and let him know what you arc doing
toward aiding tho congress Let words
of cheer resound from every city, town
ind villiago in the state.
Wc most cordially invito every liber
al every poison who is in favor of the
total soperatiou of church and btate, to
be present.
-,., ... .... ...
wo nceu linaneial aid. Jicnts aro
as high as they were last year and it
will cost quite a sum to pay the ex
penses of tho eongross, and wo ask
every liberal, who is willing and able,
to forward a few dollars to help de-
ray the expenses. All financial aid
will be most thankfully received. Send
all money to Pres. C. Peal, Portland,
and he will give you credit for it, in
the San Francisco Freethought. Don't
wait until it is too late for now is tho
time we need encouragement. Wo
can make our congress a grand success,
if we only try. If everyone will help,
even a little, our meetings will bo all
that we de.-ire them to be.
We have lately had somo neat blanks
printed, petitioning the legislature of
Oregon for tho taxation of church
property, and we would be pleaded to
pluco copies of this potition in the
. anils of every earnest liberal in the
State, for circulation. The exemption
of ecclesiastical property from just
taxation is a gross injustice to the peo
ple. It is unconstitutional and not in
keeping with the gonoral principal of
our government, and all laws favoring
this unjust exemption should bo im
mediately repealed.
Wo alto have had copies printed of
tho constitution of the 0. S, S. Union,
and wo ask you, liberal friends, tosond
for them, and cireulato them through
out tho Stuto, and scouro as many
signatures for membership as possible.
Thcro is no membership foe All that
is required is the name and address of
thoEO who indorse tho objects of the
Union, and wish to become members.
Wc would like to have the name of
every libonil-miiuled person in the
State recorded on our membership
book we ahoady have a large number
of names.
Now hlnrals, one and all, if you
think you can necuro any signatures
for the.otii:i, or for the constitution
of our Union by presenting thorn to
your friunds mid neighbors in your
locality, ph-uto end for them at onco
and tlioy will bo promptly forwarded
to you. " Both the blank petition, and
copies of the uoiimitution aro to bo
obtained from either President Beal or
mvtoK.

Au Interesting Ltttsr from Our Ksgmlar
Correspondent at the Capital.
Washington, (D. C.) Sept. 22, 1890.
EniTori OnuooN Scout:
Mr. Maine'- last letter in favor of
reciprocity created quito a sensation
in congressional oirclu, for which it is
generally believed it was specially in
tended. It indicates that Mr. Bluino
i not altofcetlter easy in his mind an
) what notion the Conference com
mitter will tako on tho reciprocity
amundmeut to tho McKmloy bill. Ho
knows that at least two of tho republi
can sonator on that committee -
Messrs. Allison and Sherman are no!
particularly enamoured with -he idea,
and that Mr. McKinloy, who la-ad. the
republican representatives ou the com
mit tec, would fhed no tears if the
amendment should suddenly die, hi
fact he probably has a suspicion that
the latter gentleman would take pleas
ure in playing tho role ot executioner
on this, occasion. So the letter was
written as a final argument. Mr.
Blaine may have exceptional source
of information that caused him to
get alarmed, but tho impression is
general here that tho reciprocity
amendment will not bo disturbed by
the Confcrenco committee now at
work on the senate amendments to
the. McKinloy bill.
The democrats anaccusmg Spcaki r
Beed of having tried to uso the Kiver
and Harbor bill, which he has just
signed after more than a week's delay,
as a weapon to compel them to agree
to remain on tho lloor of the House to
make a quorum while the republicans
passed certain bills.
The democrats have tho republi
cans of tho House at a decided disad
vantage just now, and they are enjoy
ing and making tho most of it. The
republicans have no quorum of their
own men, and tho indications are that
they will not havo again this session,
though they say they will. Whenev
er anything is called up that the demo
crats don't like, contested oloetion
cases, for instance, tho House sudden
ly duds itself left without a quorum
on account of tho democratic meniWrs
leaving the chamber. The democrats
might have prevented tho Tariff bill
being referred to the Conference com
mittee in the way it was if they bad
been so disposed, and if they should
trke a notion to make trouble when
the bill is reported from that commit
tee, which will probably be the first
part of next week, there will certainly
be a circus in tho IEouse."The re
publicans here aro not speaking in the
kindest terms of their thirty or forty
absent colleagues, but tho absentees
who are all looking after their "fences,"
probably cbnsolo themselves with the"
thought that thoy aro only following
the example of the eminent gentleman
who presides over the Houso.
The lottery lobby is vory much
chargi nncd at its failure to have the
anti-lottery bill, which tho Senate has
passed, postponed until next Session,
but it has not yet given up tho fight',
and proposes, it is said, to ofibr 15x
President Cleveland and Senator Ev
arts $2fi0,000 as a retainer if they will
undertake to get out an injunction to
retrain the Postmaster Goneral from
patting the new law into operation
until a case shall havo been taken to
the Supremo court to test ita consti
tutionality. In tho meantime Mr.
Wanamaker is preparing to carry out
the law in a manner that will certainly
cripple, if it does not kill tho lottery
business in the United Slates. I am
informed that ono of tho lottery mou
stopped abusing ho newspapers long
enough to say that his company would
willingly give $f)00,000 if an injunction
could bo had which would enable thorn
to continue using tho mails until a test
caso is tried by tho United States,
even though they knew in advance
that the caso would bo decided against
them. That gives an idea of tho
profits of tho business.
Mr. Harrison is oxpected to return
to tho Whito Houso next weok, and
then the question of an oxtra session
will bo decided. It is bolioved to havo
already been decided in tho alllrma
tivc by the republican loaders in Con
gress, and tho only remaining point to
be decided is as to who shall atsuiiio
the responsibility. Shall Congress
take a recess after passing tho' tariff
bill, or shall it adjourn, leaving tho
president to cull an oxtra session.
There aro lots of people who don't be
lieve a resolution for an oxtra sossion
could bo passed in tho House. If that
bo so, tho leaders will not attempt it,
knowing that their object can just as
well bo accomplished by moans of a
presidential proclamation.
The Houso lot Bcptcsonativo Kon
ucdy oil for making tho speech abus
ing Senator Quay quito easy. Thoob
jcstionuble portions of (ho speech nro to
be left nut of tho bound edition of tho
Becord. What difference will that
inako after tho abusivo language has
been read in tho newspapers from ono
end of tho country to the other?
