Presi-
dent McConnell of the senate says
the Republican members will go
into caucus to select their candi- J
' i .
date for United States senator. '
During the week that has passed
since "the legislature convened,
there has bern a steady attack
upon MkcKPll on .the pait of the
Oregonian;-au attack that for viru
lencfe ; and persistence we have
never seen equalled. That, paper
assails his private character; his
friends claim "that his alleged ser
vices heretofore entitle him to the
position, and that the Orcgonian,
by the course it is pursuing, has
improved his prospects. It seems
to tts" that his chief strength, at
present, lies in the fact that his
opponents' tactics do not admit of
concentration. Even the Orcgon
ian, with its invectives and per
sonal history of the man, has no
suggestion as to the propr-r person
to elect in place of the retiring in
cumbent. MitchclPs enemies seem
to be somewhat diffuse in their in
dividual preference, and from
present information it is manifest
that there can be but one outcome
to the matter the election of J.
H. Mitchell. In-any contest Df
this kind, if the assenting parlies
desire successitis requisite to select
a candidate and concentrate all
possible strength on him. This
they have not done. An impor
tant factor in the result is what
aotion the Democrats intend to
take. The tradition of party sug
gests a meeting in caucus
and a complimentary vote to
some one of their political
faith. The practical uselessness
of such action may be used by
some of the minority as a reason
for supporting the man most likely
to win. 'JChe case stands about
this way, in our judgment if we
were betting on the result, and
betting to win, we would wager
all available coin ihat Mitchell
would be elected.
Faith vs. Fact.
lx the present conflict between
religion and science the material
ists are sometimes attacked in their
own camp and given blows that
demonstrate the necessity of some
thing more than simple denial.
The latest phase of this point of
the antagonism is an assertion on
the part of the orthodox, of the
need of an atheodicy, or reconcilia
tion of the facts of the world with
the supposition that there is no
God, a-harmonizing of the ideas
of justice, design, and other like
indications of the Deity with the
atheistic theory. Now that tiie
Christians have long been const me
ting a theodity, materialists, ag
nostics, absolutists, and all others
who have no place for Deity
should construct a system that
will be complete with God left
out. The leaders in Christian faith
say their opponents should account
for the goodness of the world, for
design, for instinct, for adaptation,
for progress, for the origin of
being and life, and for all else
that is generally thought to militate
against this theory. Let them
see if they can make a belter athe
odicy .than the Christians have
made a theodicy. Which can get
the more complete and consistent
system? Which can get all things
harmonized without any disturb
ing elements? Which will first
obviate the necessity of supposing
"mysteries" or "inscrutable ways?"
The world wants :i reconcilia
tion of some kind a theodicv or
an atheodicy. "You must justify
the" ways of God to man, or tire
ways of Nature to man. You
must account for the evils by a
theodicy. Tf you think we never
can account for the evil in the
world, see if it is easier to account
for- the good in the world. See if
it is easier to account for all things
with God eff out than for all
things 'with God left in." Thus
sayctli the defenders of the present j
system. Tlicv claim that the bur-,
den of reconciling the facts of the ,
world is not all on the Christian, j
Aire uuuuiiuiur lb as 1UUC11 DOUI1U.'
as he to be consistent and to round i
his theories into a. harmonious sys-!
tctn. J
"When the antn-ronibts of Chris-
tiamty gel at the positive work of (
constructing the whole oi our
knowledge in which there shall ho.
no rnntriMifti.Mie if- clinll nn tl.i.i
j Christians" time to criticise. The
unbeliever on the defensive is a I
new role, and the world is curio is '
to sec him in : reconciliation f
unbelief. An -ttheodicy is Hi.',
thing that will catch the logir f '
the atheist.
