0 Labor and Capital.
This is a practical age. No super
ficial polish can eclipse the steam
reality of facts. The slimy gause of
of fashion and the buffoonery of cus
torn may elude the scrutinizing
efforts of the searchers for a season
JJut facts arc; stuouorn things, am

restless as Aianquo's ghost. They

to a few of Sse, and if it hurts we
cannot help it, though never so sor
rowful. "For more than a generation
there lias been a wonderful strife be
twecn capital and labor. The pos
sessor is crowned as a lord, whilst
the producer lis branded as a slave
This morbid and most lamentable
condition of society has existed nntil
forbearance hja3 nearly ceased to be
a virtne. It kiicrht bo well for the
worshippers A' mammon to read the
story of the I Vabian knights, where
a poor slavclJromised great riches
and various i . wards to any one that
would liberate him. But no one
broke his fetters. At length, mad
dened by his long confinement, he
declared that . whosoever liberated
him ho would i-lay.
And so with labor. The toiling
man is a slave.; The rich can liber
ate him if they will, but they do not.
By and by despair will turn to rage,
and tho captor will bo slain and the
captive will liberate himself. Do
not the signs of the times indicate
this result? The struggle is between
monarchy and individuality between
serfdom and selfdom. And whilst
tho battle rages, can we not see tho
glimmer of approaching day? In
dividualism eer one's right to him
selfto enjoy the good things be
stowed by the Giver of every good,
is the inalienable right of every man.
Do you doubt i? Watch the tide of
events and behcjld the progress of the
advancing hosts. Every interest is
being moulded jto meet the demands
of the ago. Th face of aristocracy
is turned downward. Our . social
forms are being moulded to harmo
nize with the nqw regime. There is
a dreadful unrest in the) presence of
all usurpation slid wrong. Reform
is tho watch woA of the hour. Those
in brief author V must yield to this
inexorable dcflud. Simplicity of
form and cheapness of execution
must control our social and political
relations. Industry must receive its
honored reward, whilst idleness and
speculation are reduced to zero, and
her devotees made to meekly beg for
bread.
But the conilict is not between
O capital and labr any more that it is
between brains and muscle. Every
part, if properly joined, is essential
to tho life and I happiness of every
other part. Tills law is universal.
If one member Offers, all the mem
bers suffer wiiuWt. Let us illustrate
a one point by a few facts and figures.
We will take a case where capita
. and labor take their stand and assert
their rights.
Two men come to a neighborhood
G eacli bringing a capital of 100,000.
One man loans his money at ten per
cent. At the end of .ten years he
will have receive! 8100,000 interest,
and will own it i all himself. More
than that, nine-lA iths of all who bor
rowed will be i Voverished by the
rate of interest Sr y have paid. They
will not only be bankrupt themselves
but will bankrupt others in their
fall. Tho 100.000 has proved a
blessing only to the man who -loaned
it. It has not caused two blades of
grass where theijo was but ono bo
fore. It has flowed in the channel of
speculation andIs track is a deso
late waste. ThVther man invested
his means in ouseful manufactory
that gave constant employment to
one hundred men. These men re
ceived in wages for their ten years
work tho snug sr?m of 89,000 eacli or
8000,000 in all. These hundred men
with their hundred families have
built up a hundj-ed pleasant homes
and they own it fill themselves. The
proprietor is hailed with joy every
where, for he ihas. made joyful a
thousand homesi and gladdened ten
thousand heartsA He is a benefactor
of his kind, whl he gave peace and
prosperity to oiSfrs he also prosper
ed, for his capital of 100,000 has
been multiplied by ten in as many
years, and nobodz nas been wronged
of a farthing. This is no fancy pic
ture. It in not only possible, but
probable. How do you like the con
trast? Is it not lesspn enough for one
week?
Theik Needs. A correspondent
from Summer Lake to the Corvallis
Bemocrat says:
The one thing needful in this
county is u mail route. As it is, we

persons; m Summer Lake there are
upwards of ono hundred; in Chewau
eau there are near one hundred ; in
Crooked Creek valley about seventy
live or on a hundred, and in other
little valleys through which we pass
there are settlers, all deprived of
mail facilities, making near four
hundred person that are deprived
of mail connection with the outside
world. Aweekly route from Silver
Lake to Goose I Juke would accom
modate all' these! frontiermen, and
would not cost t' Government over
,000 at the f:lrtfe.-t.
The Infamy a Law.
The telegraph informs us that
Grant has signed the infamous Civil
Bights Bill. We publish the docu
ment in full on our first page this
week, and if it is not enough to damn
any party, the masses have fallen too
low to realize their terrible situation.
If there had been anything lacking
to sink the Radical party into obliv
ion, this act certaiulv will do it. The
bill will tend to open many of the
sores which have become healed,
and instead of being a benefit to the
black race, it will prove a detriment
to them. It will crowd our own
courts with suits and annoyances.
Just slunk, under it, one of the most
filthy "heathen Chinese" can go to
our most respected hotels, and should
tho landlord refuse to allow him the
same rights and privileges that ho
does a whito man, it isniade tho duty
of tho U. S. Prosecuting Attorneys
to institute proceedings against the
landlord, if the "heathen make com
plaint," and should he fail to prose
cute the suit, becomes himself liable.
It does not apply to negroes alone,
but to all the races, and the Indian
a m . m
now can come on tne same looting
with the Chinaman and he with the
most refined of our own race. Of
course, the bill is one that was in
tended to degrade and further humil
iate the Southern people, but it will
apply to the North as well.. There
now remains but one hope for the
defeat of this most infamous aet, and
that is in the Supreme Court of the
nation, and as that body ha3 been
made up to do the Badical party's
will, there is but little hope from
hat quarter.
Now let the Badical Congress pass
he "Force Bill," (and probably be
fore this issue is out it will have be
come a law) and then declare the
Badical party the "Government, "and
Grant its executive head, and the work
of a set of traitors will be complete
and our system of government over
thrown. It will not do for our Bad
ical friends to say that "the Bebels
of the South must have this crammed
own their throats for punishment."
Of course it affects them moredirect-
y than the people of the North.
iut it is a virtual abrogation of all
State governments and the whole
country will finally experience the
malign effects of the subversion of
the Government which was so wisely
instituted by the great and good men
who framed tho Constitution and
founded tho Republic of free and in
dependent States. The Radicals in
Congress to-day are a more despica
ble set of traitors than any man who
sought by force of arms to dissolve
the Union. Those men attempted it
through force of arms and acted the
lart of men; tho Radicals in Con
gress have subverted the Constitu
tion, destroyed the government, and
that while they had sworn to protect
and guard the sacred instrument.
Let the people look at this matter
calmly and without prejudice, and
then decide whether they will yet
make an effort to become free white
men, of a free white man's govern
ment, or whether they are prepared
to have a Mexico or San Domingo
placed upon the soil which was
bought for them by the patriots of
1875. While wo aro not of those
who desire the after-punishment of
any, we should be doing our feelings
an injustice were we to think other
wise than that this legacy of Sum
ner's is tho work of tho devil, and
that he has received his reward by
being made one of his shining lights
in the dark world of sin, and that he
will bo prepared to receive tho per
jured 6et of Radical Congressmen
w ho have inflicted their" country with
tho bequest ho left behind him.
Disabled. The steamer L03 An
gel os, from San Francisco to Victor
ia, became disabled off the coast op
posite Tillamook, by breaking her
shaft and other machinery, while on
her trip up last week. There were
on board 150 passengers. When
the accident occurred the steamer
was fifteen miles from land. Capt.
Howell and four other men got into
a small boat and succeeded in mak
ing a lauding some fifteen miles from
Astoria, and they made for that place
through the woods. At Astoria they
received the prompt assistance of
Capt. Flavors tug-boat, which im
mediately went to the relief of the
disabled boat, and brought her safely
to that port the following day, where
she is now being repaired. The pas
sengers passed suitable resolutions
of thanks to Captains Howell and
Flavel, as well as to Capt. Scholl,
for their noble actions in their be
half. The situation of these passen
gers was a perilous one, and they
were fortunate in their safe deliver
ance. Gbant Gets Another Shot. A
few days ago, under the direction of
Flaxbrake, U. S. Grant sent to the
Senate a message asking that Arkan
sas be revolutionized like Louisiana,
and that Grant be allowed to sav who
shall be Governor of that State. The j
matter was referred to a Committee, ;
qi which Poland, a Radical, was
chairman, and by order of the Com- j
m it tee ho reported on the 10th ult. j
that, "in their judgment, no inter- j
ferenee -was necessary in Govern
ment matters." Grant seems to find
his revolutionizing course anything
but smooth.
s.
In the New York Times oi Feb. 17,
we find that Owen Wado has been
re-appointed Register of the Land
Office in this city, and T. R. Harri
son, Receiver, in place of Hon. II.
Warren. There appointments were
transmitted to the Senate for confir
mation on the previous day. Why
we have not received this news by
telegraph, Senator Mitchell could
probably explain. We have nothing
to say in regard to Mr. Wade's re
appointment. Ho is probably as
good as any other Radical and for
fear of doing worse, we accept "it as
the best wo could expect. But his
re-appointment and the removal of
Hon. Henry Warren is a matter
which will have to bo explained by
the powers that be. " Mr. Warren is
a man of most excellent character,
has made an efficient and faithful
officer, and few men are held in high
er csteem5 by those who have the
pleasure of his acquaintance. He
has faithfully discharged the duties
of bis office, and why he has been
removed and another selected to take
place, the many Republican friends
of Mr. Warren will call upon Mr.
Senator Mitchell to explain, and if
reports are true tho explanation will
bo anything but acceptable. Mr.
Harrison is a citizen of Yamhill, was
a member of the Legislature which
elected Mitchell, and he was elected
as a Corbett man; he was also a mem
ber of the Convention which passed
the infamous Mitchell-endorsement
resolution. In Yamhill county, were
it left to tho people to say, Mr.
Warren could get tho recommenda
tions of nine out of every ten of the
Republicans over T. R. Harrison,
and the people generally would hear
tily endorse hi? re-appointment.
But his successor is not their choice
for any position. It is stated that
the position which he now receives
was the contract entered into at Sa
lem, when Mitchell was elected and
that he was promised it in consider
ation of his vote. lie accepted it,
and now Senator Mitchell pays him
off, at the expense of tho decapitation
of a most faithful public officer, and
one cf his warmest political friends
in this State at the time of his elec
tion. To the deceased son of Hon.
Henry Warren, as much as any
man in this county, can be attribut
ed the votes of this county for Mitch
ell. He, like the father, was a true
friend of Mitchell, and now he stabs
one who acted from pure and honest
motives for one whom he had to buy
with position to become his friend.
We hear of but one expression in our
place, and that is of universal con
demnation at the removal of Mr.
Warren, and Senator Mitchell knew
that his action in this matter would
bring such a remonstrance against
him, that he thought it prudent not
to telegraph the appointment until
the confirmation was made by the
Senate. The removal of Mr. Warren
is a calamity to our city. By his
uniform courtesy and gentlemanly
conduct as a public officer ho has
won their general esteem, as a citizen
he is held in the highest regard, and
were his successor clear from all the
accusations of improperly bartering
away the wishes of his constituenco,
he would have to possess supe
rior qualities before he could
place himself in the confidence of
the people here, now held by the re
moved official, or in Oregon. We shall
have more to sa- on this subject in
the future.
Death of II. C. Kinney.
Again we aro called upon to an
nounce the death of one of Oregon's
pioneers, and ono of her most
energetic and enterprising citizens.
Robert C. Kinney, well known
throughout this State, died at his
residence in Salem on Tuesday after
noon at 3 o'clock. Mr. Kinney came
to Oregon at an early day and set
tled in Yamhill county, following
farming a number of years. He then
engaged in the business of milling at
McMinnville, and after being very
successful for several years, he re
moved to Salem, where he imrchascd
what is known as the Salem Mills,
and has carried on an extensive bus
iness for tho past six years at that
place. lie was a man of generous
heart, warm in his friendships and
an excellent neighbor, of great ener
gy and business enterprise. His
hand was ever open to tho needy,
and no man in private life in our
State will be more missed than Robt.
C. Kinney. He has raised a large
family of children, now nearly all
grown, who reflect credit on their
worthy and esteemed father. The
family of the deceased have lost an
affectionate and noble father, the
State an enterprising and most val
ued citizen. It is a State loss, and
while the afiliction falls most heavily
md directly upon the bereaved fam
ily, the whole people, especially the
farming public, will deeply feel
his death. Mr. Kinney's death was
the result of an accident which hap
pened to him by being thrown from
a hack at Portland several months
ago. He was 01 years and 8 months
of age. We offer our heartfelt sym
pathy to the bereaved and attlicted
family, and to the nublo sons whom
he ha left we would say, emulate
the noble example left you by a
great and noble fai'.er.

The "terrible murders of Radicals
in the South," just now 'being pub
lished in the Bulletin, will create a
smile on the face of many, while they
will utterly fail of the. object for
which they are published: Such
stuff may have served tho Radical
cause in the past, but the people
don't frighten any longer. They will
be taken with about the same allow
ance as was the argument of the
Bulled editor some years ago on
tho greenback question. The story
is rather old but it is good and may
be news to many of our readers, and
we may therefore bo excused for re
peating it at this time: 'When green
backs were first issued, tho present
editor of the Bulletin was editor of
the Salem Statesman. Wo , were op
posed to the depreciated currency,
and in an elaborate article in reply
to us, ho took tho ground that green
backs wero better than silver or gold.
"For," said ho, "the man who held
the dollar in greenbacks had a dol
lar, and besides he had somebody's
promise ta pay a dollar." These
may not bo his precise words, but
are as near as we can recollect. Tho
argument was so convincing that ho
(gained quite a national reputation as
a financier, and some of the Eastern
exchanges thought he ought to suc
ceed Chase, all on account of this
sublime and convincing logic. The
Radical cause being about dead, he
is trying to keep it alive by the res
urrection of imaginary Radical mur
ders. It is too bad that this embod
iment of all the virtne of the country
cannot find a way by which to pre
vent people from committing mur
ders, and then if it must bo done,
that they should bo all Democrats
and the murderers should bo niggers.
Gaston is about the only Radical
editor in tho State or Union who is
innocent enough to think that these
terriblo tales of Southern horrors
will save the Radical party. Bless
his soul, the people all over the
country know that where the Federal
bayonets have been out of way in
tho South, peace and prosperity has
reigned, and that murder and blood
shed is the result of the infamous
conrso of the Radical Administration
which makes tho ignorant negro
think that it is a virtue to kill a
Democeat.

was
this
to abridge the free
dom of tho press, but was only an
act to place tho District of Columbia
on tho same footing with other States.
Poland, who was the cat's paw for
Beast Butler, introduced tho bill,
and while he had boon elected in his
district by over 1,700 majority two
years ago, the last election he was
defeated by over 1,000 votes, so un
popular was the bill which he had to
carry with him. Even Flaxbrake
Williams gave it as his opinion that
the bill would not allow a publisher
or editor, or correspondent to bo
taken from his Stite and carried to
Washington to be tried. Those who
were not blind to facts and the causes
of tho passage of tho act, knew thee
Xirofossions to be falsehoods and de
ceptions. Tho bill was the work of
thieving Radicals who had been ex
posed by the press, for their connec
tions with jobs. But since the fall
elections the true force of the bill
has been acknowledged, and we find
that men are dragged from their
homos and taken to Washington to
answer to indictments found against
them by a District of Colnmbia jury,
mado up of niggers and dependants
of those very samo thieving Con
gressmen, and before courts presided
over by judges whose tenure depends
exclusively on the will of Congress.
Already several arrests have been
made and the accused taken to Wash
ington. The .last was a Mr. A. C.
Buell, at present of the St. Louis
llejiubliatti, but formerly of the De
troit Free Pre. His crime is, that
he slandered Zach. Chandler, better
known as Drunken blood-letting
Senatorial bummer Chandler, while
he was employed as correspondent of
the Press. This shows what the bill
was passed for and while the Radical
Congressmen who passed it tried to
lie out of its true meaning during tho
last fall election, now they are per
fectly willing to show its full force.
It was intended to gag the press,
but there are those in the country
yet who defy the infamous usurpers
and who will speak of them as they
deserve, and abide the consequences.
The end of the rule of tyranny will
come sooner or later, and the names
of those who have been and may
hereafter bo dragged to Washington
before the conrts, will stand on the
pages of their country as martyrs,
while the Corgressmen who passed
the bill will be consigned to the
bottomless pit of infamy.
Sold Oct. The Sacramento Union
which has been the leading paper of
the Independant party of California,
has been sold and consolidated with
the Sacramento Record, the organ of
the Railroad Company, and the Ad
ministration ' paper of California.
While we have ever held different
views from the Union, we can but
regret that it has fallen into the
hands it has. It was one of the best
newspapers ever published on this
coast, and as such deserved a better
iate.
r
A St ron i; Minority.
The Radical majority in the Unit
ed States Senate for the next two
years is by no means as firmly fixed
as it appeared a few days ago says
an exchange. The successive defeats
oL Thayer in Nebraska, Chandler in
Michigan and Carpenter in Wiscon
sin, followed by the beating of Ram
sey in Minnesota, has produced a
prodigious sensation iu Washington.
They were the Administration can
didates. They were defeated by a
coalition 'of Democratic . members
with a few bolting, disaffected Re
publicans, and in each instance it
was understood that tho Senator
elect would oppose the C.esarian pol
icy of Grant, both North and South.
Pledges were given to that effect.
Two years ago it seemed as if it was
an impossibility to obtain anything
like a check in the United States
Senate for years to come. It is elect
ed for six years. Its . members aro
divided as follows: Fifty-sevon Re
publicans and seventeen Democrats.
By tho elections of 1874 the regular
Democratic strength was increased
from seventeen to twenty-seven.
Now on the great questions of the
day the mil'tary supremacy over
tho civil power wo may safely in
clude in the negative the votes of the
new Senators from Michigan, Wis
consin, Nebraska and Minnesota.
Boothe, Senator from California, was
chosen as an Independent, friendly
to tho Granger movement. Sharon,
the Croesus Senator from Nevada,
who bought his election openly, de
clares his independence of all party
affiliations. The votes of these men,
added to tho Democrats, upon ex
treme party questions, would raise
their vote to thirty-three, and thirty
eight is a majority of that body. It
would be strange if five conservative
Republicans could not be obtained
upon a measure involving the de
struction of the Republic. Tho Ad
ministration "ring" have indeed a
slight margin in the .Senate, with
which they cannot afford to trifle.
The Democratic Senators aro, many
of thorn, very strong and able debat
c-rs. We may mention c:; -President
Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee;
Timntun, of Oliio; McDonald, of
Indiana; Bayard, of Delaware; Ker
nan, of Nc York; Wallace, of Penn
sylvania; Eaton, of Connecticut, and
Geueial Gordon, of Georgia. These
are all first-class speakers, and as
there is no limitation of debate what
ever in the Senate, they will make it
lively for the adherents of imperial-

The Majority Report.
A Washington dispatch of the 2od
gives us tho majority and minority
reports of the Congressional Com
mittee on tho Louisiana question.
The minority report is made by Rad
icals of the Flaxbrake type, while
the majority report is made by two
Radicals and two Democrats. De
low we give the majority report.
Tiie other evades the question and
tries to demagogue out of a bad di
lemma. The dispatch says:
Foster, Phelps, Potter and Mar
shall presented tho majority report
of the committee on the State of
affairs in Louisiana and concluded
as louows: in our judgment ail
that is needed in Louisiana is to
withdraw the Federal troops and
leave the people of that State to gov
ern themselves." linfore making
this recommendation the committee
say: "To avoid the mischief and
confusion of change, tho majority of
the citizens of Louisiana seem w ill
ing to accept us a compromise Xel
logg's recognition and the restora
tion to tho Conservatives of tho con
trol of the lower Houso." For these
reasons Foster and Phelps do not
wish to oppose the recommendation
that the administration of Gov. Kel
logg be recognized in view of the
fact that they know nothing of mer
its as judged by competent evidence;
nor do they wish to be understood
as urging it. They only wisli to re
cord their agreement with those of
their associates who believe such a
compromise might, by making a ter
mination of the uncertainty in Lou
isiana, bo on the whole less intolera
ble than the present situation of that
distressed people; but to any reso
lution recognizing Kellogg, 'Potter
and Marshall are utterly opposed.
They find nothing to justify tho be
lief that Kellogg w as elected, that he
seized tho Government by aid of
Federal troops through a void and
lraudulent order which prevented
tho counting and returning of the
votes, should be a standingprosurap
tion against him. When the people,
outraged by tho abuses of his Gov
ernment, had successfully regained
the olllce he had usurped, he was
again reseated by Federal iower
through the forms of the laws by
which ho had entrenched himself.
He once more sought to nullify tho
choice of the people at the late elec
tion, and to that end called the Fed
eral troops to break up the meeting
of the Legislature. For Congress to
recoguize a usurpation so gross, so
oppressive, is, they think, to estab
lish a precedent by which, under
pretexts that caa readily be found,
any Ktate Government may be over
thrown, the will of the people nulli
fied, fraud and violence perpetuated,
and republican forms perverted to
destroy liberty.
Its Result. A dispatch from
Alexandria, dated tho Jtli ult., says
that in consequence of the passage
of the Civil Rig'.ds bill, and fearing
trouble, both of the principal hotels
cancelled their licenses and closed.
Civil Rites. The burial of the
Radical party without military hon
ors, is the way the Worcester Press
I puts it.
Expenses of tho Modoc War.
A long report, says an exchange,
has been sent to tho Lower House of
Congress by the Secretary of War
conveying reports of the quarter
masters at Sai j Francisco, Portland
aud other disbursing offices on tbo
Pacific coast, in regard to the expen
ditures in terminating the Modoc
War. Deputy Quartermaster Eddy,
of San Francisco, reports that he ex
pended for supplies and transporta
tion the sum of $120,585, which,
with unsettled bills aggregating15,
377 80, swells the amount expended
by him to $135,902. Of this amount
Wm. M. Hoag received $110,000.
Major Batchelder, quartermaster
at Portland, gives the following fig
ures of the expenses of his depart
ment during tho war: . ..

During the war the following
quantities of the principal articles
were used by tho troops, or, at least,
paid for to the Radical friends of the
Administration who received the con
tracts: Hard bread, 153,192 lbs.;
bacon, 45,337 lbs.; sugar, 25,711 lbs;

Our readers will remember that
last March there was a difliculty be
tween Governors Jiaxter and 1 rooks
in Ark msas as to which was the legal
Governor. After considerable trou
ble, Grant anil Old Flaxbrake recog
nized Raster as the legal Governor.
Raster concluded that his timo was
uii on the election of the present
Governor, aud vacated the position
without an- trouble. Rut now Ar
kansas has elected by about 70,UOO
majority a Democrat, and that don't
suit Grant, and now lie wants Con
gress to reinstate R rooks, and that,
after ho declared that he never was
tne legal uoveruor. u any ono is
Governor of Arkansas lesides the
one elected last fall, it is Raster and
not lirooks, and Grant seems to bo
going back on himself in this matter,
unbecoming the Executive of on en
lightened nation. There is no tolling
what Grant won't do, and if there
ever was an ass in the Presidential
chair, without sense, judgment or
decency, that chap is Ulysses Grant.
He said that he had no policy, and
the people have about come to the
conclusion that he has neither policy
or common sense or he would not
put himself on record as a most con
sum ate ass in this matter.

a sort of brotherly fight, which I
deem worthy of public notice. There
were two brothers residing together,
formerly of Oregon City, aged re
spectively, twenty one or two and
about fifteen. They got into a light
last week, the younger brother com
ing out of the contest minus coat,
shirt and some hide, and had there
not been other parties present, I
doubt not but what he would have
been served like the Indians serve
their victims on the plains, nearly
skinned him alive. The victorious big
brother is the same, I am informed,
who whipped an old man iu Oregon
City. If the younger brother has
any lawful protectors, they should
look after him, for. if left to the ten
der mercy and care of the young de
eiple of Yankee Sullivan, he may be
served worse than to have his cloth
ing torn off of him. Such conduct
may be popular among roughs and
hoodlums, but it certaiuly is not ap
preciated in this quiet and law-abiding
community. When his case is
brought before the proper authori
ties, I believo they will find occasion
to use the handle to the young man's
name, and impress on his mind that
whipping old men and boys is not
very profitable.

JUJJZAS. it has been certified to
me by the Mot Worth v Gjutui
tes of th ii. W nwd'Lodge of NV
braska, and other goid and werthv
liiethren, that owing to the 'grass
hopper visitation" in that State J.i-t
summer, many (.1 Fellows in that
Jurisdiction with their families, n um
bering not less than fifteen himdiv-l
souls, are wholly dependent upon
charity for their sustenance from
now until September, and " that t'-o
various or-onized aid scci. lii-s i-i:..
not possibly meet nil the just do
ma! s upon them for general relief,
the Tioccssity for which, becomr
greater every day, as tlic srju.ii
means of the fnv more favored be
come exhausted, and that, although
the Subordinate Lodges of that .Tur
isdiction have responded promptlv
10 tne extent ol tlieir uoility, et
many of the Lodges are loeaied i:i
the devastated district, with their
treasury snd memlorsh:p impover

fall far short of what will be r quired
to keep many of our Rivthrni from
suffering and starvation until next
harvest.
Therefore, I do earnestly soli.-it
for these suffering Riothren tl e ac
tive sympathy and aid of all Oil
Fellows in this Jurisdiction, and d.
hereby recommend su-h contribu

bers as they can afford to give in a
spirit of love and charity, and to tin
end, and by virtue of "the power iu
me vested, I have this dav authoriz

Subordinate Lodges in tins Jnristh'.:

Only too Plain. The astounding
executive suggestion with reference
to Arkansas, remarks the Springfield
RejiHhlh-ftii, is a sufficient commen
tary upon tho President's repeated
protestations of reluctance to inter
fere in tho domestic affairs of the
States or put the army to semi-political
uses. If these edifying disclaim- . -ers
ever meant anything a point on
which a good many people were al
ready becoming very skeptical it is
now only too plain that Mr. Gran
has outgrown the feeling which
piompted them.
On Wednesday night at 12 ended
the present Congress, and the people
have reason to be thankful that it
has come to an end. It is a blessing
