The lGlh annual session of the Oregon conference of the M. E. church will open September 30, 1D0.J. in Salem in the 1st church, pastor, Rev. John Paraons. Bish op J. W. Hamilton will preside. Bishop Hamikon waa one of tbe ministers of tbe church ordained bishop at the last general confer ence held in liKX). Already he it one of the best known of tbt bish ops. He is called the plumed knight of the Episcopal bench. Bishop Hamilton was born in a M. E. parsonage in West irginia, about filty-nine yeart ago. He graduated from Mt. Union college in 1855, and from the Boston uni versity six yean later. He licensed to preach in 18C5, and united with the Pittsburg confer ence in 1SCG. Two yeart later he transferred to the New England conference, where he remained un til hit election to the Episcopacy. He hat been pastor, presiding el der, and for eight yeart secretary of the Freedmen'e Aid and South ern Education Society. He comet to Oregon under tbe tongue of good report, and from many labort her alded wun success. The conference thie year will be an enoch-making one. Great re joicing will be the element of it. The indebtedness, for bo many vean a serious burden, is at last lifted through the heroic toils of the Rev. Dr. Coleman, president The laymen also have business of importance to transact at this sees ion of the Oreeon conference. Mr. Edmondson, pastor of the lut M. E. church of Independence, expects to leave for Salem Tuesday, 2S)th. to be in attendance tnrougn out the session. Mrs. Edmondson and children expect to accompany him. A clergyman of Philadelphia who hat examined the rtalistica of the vtriout Proteitant denomi nationa, and has been disturbed by the number ot minietert who are without a charge, strongly urgea all young men who intend to enter the ministry to learn tome trade either before or after their ordina tion. Hit idea it that betidea giv inn the minister a certain experi- nee. which would make hit minis trations in or oat of the pulpit more sympathetic a trade would in many instances, be a good thing to fall back upon'. It it certainly mDortant that in some way or other a young theological aludent thould come into practical contact ith the buey world, la tome cases, however, it would be a dis tinct loss for tre church to have a young man who it very evidently called to the ministry spend months in bread-and-butter work at an age when bis time would bet ter be gtyen to other thingt. More generally, perhaps, if the present indifference with respect to the maintenance of churches in a large number of small communities is to continue, the voung minister will feel justified in protecting himself w - - against possible poverty in the fu ture by first making himself pro ficient in eome trade or professions line before he seeks ordinauon. New York Observer. statements made by Commander Tucker, and much credit will be " due the man or the combination of men who can devise and tuccett fuliy carry out a plan whereby this clam of citizen can be brought West and favorably located. There is no gainsaying the fact that 100 small farmers on a large tract of land, each owning his hun dred acres, more or less, it a far more desirable condition in the body politic than to have the tame land under the priyate ownership of a single individual or company and worked by rentert or laborert. Under the former state of affairs, a new community it created with its tchoolt. churches and libraries, ilt commercial and social activities, and society generally it enriched by the creation of thoee things that make for civilization. It it to be hoped that there may be found tome practical way in wh'ch the ideat advanced by Com mander Tucker may be put into practical operation, and that tho future may tee tbe arid lands ei thit ttate dotted with thrifty com- munitiea of hard-working, tell-re- epecting huthandmen, who have made of the Middle West auch a magnificent empire.

His plea was for the methods that will en couragH the small farmer and bring into being the small intensive farm.. He urges that intelligent and well directed effort in the matter of col onization in the West, and espec ially to those sections where ir ritable land alone is available, should bring together in an irriga- tion community men ot Bman but honest and sturdy pur pose, whose best energies and those of their families will oe expenaeu in home building and the cultiva tion of the few acres they possess individually to the point of maxi mum nroduction. At applied to the question of settling large tracts of irrigated land in the manner that will best conduce to the interests of the etate, there it much truth in the Cassiut Marcellus Clay, typical man of the South, died recently at the age of 93. He was a great fighter, a great American in hia way, there were many interesting events in bit life. The most interesting, undoubt edly, it the fact that although born a Blaye owner he was converted to the doctrines of the abolitionists by listening to a Bpeech by Will iam Lloyd Gamon. This conver sion of the tall fighting Southerner by a speech of the mild friend of humanity is intensely interesting, since it proves how much sincere argument cab do eyen with tot most unpromising mstenal. Cas siut Marcellus Clay wat converted to the idea that no man should be a slave. He was converted to thoroughly that he talked abolit ionism through tbe South at the risk ot his life, occasionally inter rupting his speech to fight with a bowie knife those who failed to agree with him. Another incident in the liie of General Clay, according to the Louisville Courier-Journal, is pre served in an oil painting at the Metropolitan Art Museum in New York. The painting shows the Czar of Russia with his staff and the foreign Ambassadors at St. Pe tersburg. Cassius Marcellus Clay waa the American Minister to Rus sia at that time. In the picture he and the Russian Czar are the only two men who have their hats on. On the occasion that the picture represents one of the other Ambas sadors said to Clay that he ought to remove his hat iu the presence of the Czar. To this the American Minister replied: "I take off my hat only to those who take off their hats to me." He expressed here briefly what would"-seem to be a very good American doctrine. It is a good thing that we ,have outgrown Cas sius Marcellus Clay's bowie knife and his way of using it to end an argument. But it is a misfortune that we have also outgrown the idea briefly expressed: "I take off my hat only to those who take on their hats to me."
