Conference.
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.

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. Telegram.

in iha onnrae of an address de
livered vesterday before the irriga
tion congress in Ogden, Comman
der Booth Tucker had much to say
on the subject oi colonization that
waa most commendable. 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."
