TRANSACTS A GENERAL BANKING BUSINESS
With all the greiit and vital questions
to be discussed, all the pleasant and en
nohlins things to -write about, all the
invention and progress of the age to be
noted, and all the rush of important
movements and interesting affairs to be
met, chronicled and commented on, the
I paper that can find nothing to fill its
! columns but coarse and bitter vitupera
tion of its contemporaries had better
shut up shop at once. No man is worthy
to be an editor who does not hold his
profession sacred, and feel that every
member of it is a brother to be per
suaded or expostulated With, but never
abused or blackguarded; who does not
cleave, mind, heart and soul, to all that
is decorous and pure, honest, just aud
true; and who does not scorn everything
that is calculated to lower the dignity of
the noblest craft but one on all the fair
footstool of God. I would as Boon think
of indulging in blasphemy or obscenity,
as of writing or copying and unkind
paragraph, line or word in regard to one
of my brethren in journalism. Hush
the wrangling, squelch the wranglers,
Let us teach mankind to respect us aud
our vocation by respecting ourselves
and each other.
3rd We must abolish the system
of indiscriminate puffery, which is one
of the loudest crying evils of our pro
fession. Blarneyism must go. Breth
ren in inky bonds, journalism can never
attain its true dignity and deserts until
this nauseating Iniquity is wiped out.
Cease fawning with ilunkeyistic phrases
around the upstarts of luck and lucre.
Lay aside the twaddling, lying vocabu
lary of brilliant and eloquent, .powerful,
polished, irreproachably, upright, noble
and patriotic, as applied totlie harangue
or the besotted carcass of every tenth
rate, knavish, pothouse shyster and
deadbeat this, that, or the other politi
cal party may chance to stick up for
legislator, governor, senator, dog pelter
or other position of averag.s dishonor or
thievage. ,
Stop blowing little crossroads stump
jacks and desiccated nobodies into men
tal and moral Anakini, teside whom
Alexander. Casar, Demosthenes, Cicero
and Cato, Washington, Jefferson, Web
ster and ('lay, Napoleon and Tom
Thumb, all melted into one, would
dwindle to a pigmy whose toes would
not touch the ground if he straddled a
full grown Puget Hound mosquito.
Hush the absurd dubbing of every
simpering, giggling she ninny, who hap
pens to be the progeny of an official
malefactor or gold plated vulgarian, a
Hebe or a Venus, a sylph in movement,
a goddess in grace, beautiful accom
plished and fascinating though in
ninety-nine cases out of a hundred she
may be ugly as a mud fence jeweled
wit h hoptoads, clumsy as a corkleg or a
Clubfoot, and stupid as a boiled owl
garnished with fricasseed donkey ears.
Stop puffing ignoramus pulpit stamp
ers and ranters, with neither grace nor
common sense, into Angustines, Calvins
and Whittields.
Estimate everybody and everything
fairly and impartially, without personal,
partisan or sectarian prejudice or pre
dilection; and when you express an
opinion do it honestly and candidly, and
let the world see that editorial judg
ments and commendations are not stere
otyped stupidities and falsehoods, mean
ing nothing, proving nothing, good for
nothing.
4th Squelch the deadbeat advertis
ers. Crush out the "half cash and half
advertising" frauds and humbugs by
which we give a f 125 advertisement, H"i
will be redeemed, exalted and purified.
And the editor he who makes the poli
tics and politicians of the land, who
leads every forward and upward move
ment of humanity may ere long be as
respectable as a peanut peddler, stable
boy, secretary ot state, circus clown,
foreign minister, pickpocket or presi
dent. Brethren of that illustrious craft
wich is said to use the pinions of one
goose to spread the opinions of anoth er,
these reformatory steps cannot be taken
too soon; this pushing of our profession
to the lofty and mighty position it
should, and is inevitably destined to
hold, cannot be too speedily effeoted.

Sever in our now-world history has
there lieen such need of an enlightened
and patriotic press, rising to the highest
possible dignity, and wielding the great
est possible power and influence. In
addition to all the responsibility that
rests upon the jonrnalists of the country
in connection with the general weal and
advancement of their kind, special du
ties and obligations of the vastest mo
ment devolve upon them as Americans
American editors. To them is largely
entrusted the fate of the grandest
governmental fabric our earth has ever
seen. The destinies of the American re
public are, under God in a great meas
ure, in their hands a republic con
ceived in the hearts and brains of pa
triots, heroes and sages; bom with the
Declaration of Independence, and bap
tized in the fire and blood of the revolu
tion the republic of Wathington, Jef
ferson, Henrj-, Hancock, Mudison and
Adams; which for fourscore years
guarded, with ceaseless vigilance aud
jealous care, at home and abroad, on
land and sea, the liberties of the hum-
b'est citir.en: rendered us ihe freest na
tion on the globe; and gave us peace,
power and prosperity, that made us the
envy and admiration of the world,
Within the last few years a deluge of
evil has surged against it and over It.
Dissensions and hatreds have crept into
its high council halls. The clash of
tratrlcidal bayonets has been heard over
the very ashes of its founders, and the
horrid gurgle of fratrioidal blood has in
carnadined its pellucid waters. Wrongs
and abuses have intrenched themselves
in its sacred citadel. Giant corruption,
like the unclean beast, the abomination
of desolation in prophetic vision, perches
on its loftiest altars and bespatters with
corroding filth the robes of its priests,
the togas of its senators and the ermine
of its judges. Its deepest foundations
in the hearts and confidence of the
people are shaken.
To the editors of the land, more thn
to any other class perhaps 1 should be
safe in saying more than to all othw
classes is committed the holy task, on
them devolve the mighty trust and labor
of repairing all these breaches, healing
all these enmities and righting all these
wrongs; of restoring the grand govern
ment of our forefathers in deed and iu
truth; re-cementing the Shattered boiKls
of union; re-establishing the constitu
tion; bringing back the days of peace,
plenty, freedom, fraternity and glad
ness, when labor strikes were unknown,
and the cry of " Bread or blood " had
never been heard in our streets; reas
serting everywhere beneath the sun the
dignity and glory of the American
name, and extending the wings of Co
lumbia's baid-pated eagle over the last
foot of soil and the last drop of water,
from Behring's straits to Terra del
Fnego; till the star-spangled banner
shall once more be hailed the wide-world
around as the proud, unsullied symbol
of all that is great and good, pure,

and Washington to more than 20,000,000.
Fifty years ago this vast and match
less region was a savage and unexplored
wilderness. Less than twenty years
ago Can by was massacred in the Modoo
lava beds. To-day the surface dirt of
its infinite resources and capacities has
scarcely been scratched by prospector's
piok or shovel. Its incomputable treas
ures are to be opened up, Its valleys and
plains, with their very wantonness of
productiveness, ure to be broughtuder
the plow and harrow cf misbimdry, that
shall transform them into ever-blooming
true gardens of the gods. Millions of
cattle are to bo pastured Where today
the wild doer graze unscared. Mines
are to be worked, whose nones snail
clipso all the glittering marvels of
Aladdin and his genu. Thriving vil-
luges and towns are to bo sown broad
cast in a thousand spots where the
silence and solitude of sixty centuries
e as yet unbroken. Great cities the
New Yorks, Philadelphia, Bostons and
ittsburgs of the Paoitic Coast are to
be ruined, like magic exhalations, on
many a noble harbor, by many a lake
and riverside, ln many a mountain
gorge, where now the hardy backwoods
man s cabin or the fisherman s hut are
tilt only habitation. Thousands on thou
sands of miles of railroads and canals are
;o be bnilt. Steamboats snd steamships
are to be launched. Universities, ool-
eges aud libraries are to be estublislnd
and endowed. Cathedrals and churohes
are to be reared. The wildernesses aud
the solitary places must be made to re
joice and blossom as the Astorian rose.
The thunder of mighty mill wheels must
be heard mi all the beautiful streams
of this unknown land of a generation
ago; the hum of prosperous industries
nst resound through all its fertile
ales and alongall its picturesque moun
tain sides; and the white incense of
team must usceud- from thousands of
altars of thrift aud progress, as a glad
thank offering to heaven tor a new and
glorious empire redeemed from savagery
and added to civilizution.
In that Wonder-Time to come, the
Peerless Maritime Metropolis of the Oc
cident will sit enthroned, as a commer
cial queen, at the month of the mighty
Amazon of North America. A city
greater and grander than London or
Paris or Pekin, will stretch in unbroken
lines of fourteen story palaces, from
from Tongue Point and Tansy Beach to
Fort Can by and II Waco. Ten thousand
trains a day will run into its mile-square
union station trains from ht. Peters
burg, Vienna, Constantinople, Cairo and
Jerusalem, Hong Kong, Yang Tse Ki-
ang and Yokohama, by way of Bering's
Strait Tunnel and the Alaskan and Van
couver Air Line; and trains from Pat
agonia, Buenos Ayres, Kio Janeiro and
Chimborozo, by way of the Isthmus of
Darien, Popocatapetl and Shasta Light
ning Express Route. Corporation tools
and lobbyists will be swept out of the
national senate, botch engineering and
KqtmnderotiK contractors will be things
of the shameful past, and all the barriers
that now hinder the now of this imperial
river will be torn away forever I I'hn
mighty Columbia will roll like a resist
less Mood from the mountains to the sea.
It will be dug out deep enough for ocean
steamer navigation from Cathluniet to
Kootenai ahiTPeml Of eille; anu a ship
canal from there across to the head
waters of the Missouri and on into the
Mississippi will enable us to ship Ore
gon and Washington niuety-bushels-to
the-acre, wheat, ten-pound potatoes, live
whales and aurorae borealis to New Or
leans and Havana. Omaha, St. Paul
and Chicago will be but snack stations
on the great fifty track air line railroad
between the New World Metropoli at
the mouths of the Columbia and the
Hudson. We will have bred a race of
men and women at least ten feet in
height the men all Goliahs in strength,
Apollos iu grace, and Catos in virtue;
and the women all Yen uses in beauty,
Dianas in vigor, and genuine American
women in lovliness and irresistibleness.
Freedom, peace, prosperity and renown,
obedience to law, and reverence fur God
and the right shall till ail this majestic
Slope, as the waters fill the sea and the
stars of glory fill the sky !
To roll in this resplendent era, gentle
men, brethren of the Oregon press of
the Pacific Coast press, is the mission,
the work before you. Your pens, more
potent far than magic wands, can, by
grond?united, persevering effort, lulfill
the mission, do the work, achieve a mag
nificent destiny for your state and
region, untold good for the country and
the world, and an immortality of grati
tude for yourselves. Generations yet
unborn shall rise up to call you blessed,
and your memory shall be sweet through
all the ages, as the summer dews chat
gently fall on Hormon's bedR of thyme.
Godspeed the time when a fearless,
outspoken, right-loving and wrong-hating
press, wearing the dog collar of no
party, sectiou, sect or faotion, shall
prove itself the regenerator, the savior
of the republic! And, when that time
conies, may some of the proudest
trophies of the onward and upward
march of the struggle, of the labor, of
the triumph, deck the knightly lanoes of
my true-hearted, generous and patrlotio
brethren of the Oregon Press association!
