Mr. Oialruiau, Metubera of lheBv-
ouJ Oregon, Ladle and dentin
man :
It la the imperative duty of every
man to be a good cilixpn, i-levale
ud defend bin country, In peace or
in war. Thia la eapei-ially true in a
country like our, where all lh
powers of (rovernuueut originate with
and ahould be controlled by the -y
pie. Oomruroeiit in tor all, eou
eerua all, and Hhould le carried on
by all the people. Our dutita to our
country Hhould be an oat-redly por
forinud an our dutiua to our (Jod,nr
our faoiillea. He whodotat not nerve
bU country well, dura not perform
kla full duty to bin Uod, Ma family,
blniaelf, or hla fellow men. Yet
good men, men who are faithful to
all the duliu of private life, are in
vaatly greater Dumber than goud
citizen who perform well their duty
to the commonwealth. Tlioe who
rt-xpond proerly to the demand of
good citlzennhlji, are InHlgnitlcMiit In
Dumber, compared with those who
In all other rexeet do their full
duty at men. If the liiHtitutiotiH of
our couutry liucome endangered, It'
the cause of freedom suflVr, If thin
. republic ever dettct-ndrf from the
proud ptwtitlcn it now oct'upli, it
Will be been urn) good men neglect to
to become good cillwns. Ik-cause
thotte beat fitted, fail to perform their
public duties. Few realize the iiih
niflcent prlvlege ot American citizen
ablp. There la nothing to be com
pared with it in any other land un
der the sun. Our without price, it
baa yet been purchased for ux, en
riched and prerierved for us, by the
blood of countless heroes, the tears
of bereaved womanhood, and the toil
nd suffering of tens of thousands of
the beat we breed. It has been ren
dered still more glorious by tlio cour
age and labor and sacrifice of the
ftecond Oregon Infantry, oHix-ra and
privates. We are the heirs of cen
turies of toll, suffering, and noble
achievements. -The greatest evil
that now threaten Jour couutry, in
Jibe fact that thousands, yes hundreds
of thousands, j ear aftei year, enjoy
all of these prlvilages, and make no
return. The welfare and happiness
of every man, woman and child Is
dependent upon the honor cf their
country's flag, the quality of its laws
aud the proper administration of
every department of its government.
Our country preserves for us all that
we have that mat' es life worth living.
It protects property from the hand of
violence, reputation fiom the tongue
of slander, family honor from the
invader of homes. The eloquence of
Ieinosthenes, the mucic ot Milton,
the humanity of IShakeseare,' the
wisdom, devotion and patriotism of
Lincoln, could not have flourished
under the hand of tyranny. Hut to
proHtrly preserve and administer
every department of a great govern
ment wisely and well, to enact and
enforce good laws, and only good
laws, to give to each citizen as much
freedom of action as is consistent
with public safely and the welfare of
others, requires thought, toil, Intel
ligeut, patriotic devolon.to the conn
try's welfare. It requires the faith
ful, conscientious performance of bis
public duties by every citizen of the
entire couutry, A government like
our, should I In fact as well as in
name, a government by the eople,
and by all the people. The nmii w ho
shirks, who fails to do his part, Is
recreaut to a inot aacrediduty. The
nian who receives the blessing? and
protection ImMawiiI by a government
like ours, and doe not in return
perform faithfully and cotisrcntiously
his own puhllo duties, is taking some
thing for nothing, something he hss
not earned, and is guilty of moral
larceny. Yet therear men of wealth
the protection of whose persons and
property occupies the time of our
courts, the watchtul care and atten
tion of our offiuws, the thought and
lalsir of our legislators, the coursge
nd suffering and lites ol our soldiers
who never In their lives gave a mom
ents thoughtful consideration to a
single public duty. There are men
of culture, educated a (schools sujort
ed by the public or by the endow
ment of patriotic men who draw
I'loM'ly about them their rots' of
selfrighteousnetw, and shirking from
public dullea as something that
might contaminate their Immaculate
purity, or darken the whiteness of
their hands. But even this is not al:;
not content with neglecting their
own public and political duties, they
stimulate and encourage others to
equal guilt witn themselves. They
point the finger of scorn at those
whose public duties are well and
faithfully done. They proclaim that
politics are unclean, that public men
are coarse , selfish politicians. That
voters are corrupt. That Is a vile,
damnable slander upon many men
who are Ibflnltely their Mperior
liutiftrue, at whose door ilea the
blaoifc? If in the politic of some of
our great citl-M the alooo count tor
more than the church and the bro
thel for more than the leader of
society proclaim it to the everlasting
aliaine of church and society. If
politics are uocleaa, there I greater
causes lor good men to be up and
d ing, more active and earnest aod
sincere in the di-charge of their
du'y. There is oo nobler calling, no
more sacred than to assist In the
enactment of good laws, in the wise,
benificeut administration of a great
government. It is to be In harmony
with deity. It la to help God
govern the world In righteousness.
Intelligent and moral men in the
United States are vastly in the ma
ority. If lud men control our gov
eminent, It Is because good men
conneut, and by their sufferance and
neglect become particeps crimitiia.
"Governments must be carried on.
Officers must be elected, lawa must
be enacted, national policies most be
outlined and national history will be
made. If good men will not do
thee things, laid men will, but bad
men will elect bad officers, paaa bad
laws and make bed history. Writ
ers and educators snmetimes imagine
they are doing their full public duly
because engaged ii diffusing general
intelligence and advancing education
of the masses of our citizen. It is
said that the safety ami welfare of
the state, the perpetuity of of free
institutions, and esecially of govern
ment by the iople are in the gen
eral intelligence of It citizen. This
is a statement of only one-half the
truth. Intelligence in a voter is
essential to the preservation of free
Institutions but it must be intelligent
acting, not intelligent on looking.
Intelligence and thoughtfiilness alone
did not win a glorious victory at
Malalton, but action, terrible and
effective action. Intelligence must
m wielded and directed to the object
to I) accomplished. When Greece
and Itomo were tottering to their
tall through all the period of decay,
tlyre was more literature, more
eloquence, culture, rtflumeul, wealth
than In the day of their greatness.
The highest poetic gifts will not
make a gieat surgeon. The most
profound knowledge of theology and
the intricacies of the various creeds
will not win great battles.
It whs not the knowledge of theol
ogy that made Chaplain Uilbert the
darling of bis regiment, and the idol
of all Oregon. It was that practical
Christianity that could fight a well
hs pray, that could share the danger
of the Isiys under his charge, quench
their thirst in battle, relieve the suf
fering of the wounded aa well as ad
minirter consolation to the dying,
To be able to walk among th star al
will, and to the music of the spheres
Intelligently listen, would count but
little in drafting lawa for the repres
sion of trusts, or the government of
the Philippine Islands. The intelli
gence that wii; and must be the safe
ty l the republic is a clear, thoro
and conscientious condition of the
principle of good government, an
intelligent understanding of many
public questions that are constantly
arming, the tendencies, principlesand
aims ol political parlies, of the legis
lation lit eded for the welfare of the
country, the beat method of admin
istration of government," of meting
out Justice and preserving liberty,
added to w illingness to act upon the
knowledge conscientiously obtained.
Kvery voter after careful aud earnest
thought and conscientious investiga
tion should decide lor himself which
political 'party, if. entrusted with
power, will deal with pending ques
tions for the beat Interest of the
common couutry. Having done this
be should attend every primary and
every convent iou ot hi party to
which he Is eligible, should see that
gtasl men aie uomiuated for official
Kitions, should endeavor to keep
his pirty true to its principle and
conduct it to success. The vottr who
neglects to attend the primaries
without cause should not vote. A
failure to vote without cause should
ts a crime. Hut it is not sufficient to
Inform himself and act for himself,
he hkould do alt in his power to en
lighten others and induce them to
help the cnu-4 ol good government.
The vole of the tramp counts for as
much as the college president. It Is
the duly of the college president to
i i I g'ltcii the tramp, and endeavor
to nee that his vole is for good gov
eminent. It is no answer lossy this
is nut agrees hie. It was not agrees
hie for these soldiers lo face death for
you. The man who ilis's only agree
able duties is iIt oitl of high impulse
or upright moral character. He tins
none of the material out of which
patriots sre made. If our republic
-houl'l fail it would trn thru the neg
llgence not the badness of its citizens,
tiecau-c men cf wealth,' intelligence,
culture and business ability are In
different to the discharge of their
public duties, 1 do not expect the re
public lo fail, on the contrary, I ei
vt it lo advtnce higher and higher
anil nearer the sun, but I do expect
an awakened anil enlightened public
conscience w ill scourge men out of
Ibis indifference aud compel them to
discharge their private duties.
Turning from this subject, and
from the contemplation of men w ho
receive much from their country, and
give nothing In return, it Is a pleas.
ur, one of the sweetest pleasuree of
my life, and of yours, to welcome a
hand of men, w ho have dime more
than i heir public duties like heroes
and patriots. Men who receive little
from the commonwealth, have offer
ed to lay down their Uvea for it; who
have not only discharged their own
public dutUs, but your and mine,
and those of a hundred thousand
men who remained at borne, while
they went to the front. Of the com
mon citizen, the com moo wealth re
quire but little of hi thought, time
or labor and tbi little U often de
nied. But these jroang men, on the
threshold of their Uvea, took life,
limb, and bapplneas, all tbey have,
or are, or hope to be, and placed ad
on the altar of our com moo country.
When thla gallant band of men left
their borne and loved one a few
short month ago, they left behind
them the western boundary of the
United States. To this bouadary
tbey have never returned. But they
extended It westward beyond Hawaii
beyond the LadroMM, beyond Manll i
to the tartberest Island of the Philip
pine group, and there, thank to their
valor, it will remain until the destiny
of this republic ha been fulfilled.
A little over 60 year ago, the
only defined and recognized -western
boundary of the United State, was
far to the east of us. A band of a
brave men mud women as ever lived,
Oregon pioneer and Indian war vet
erans, dragged it from the summit of
the Rocky mountain westward and
established It firmly by an undispu
ted title along the shores of the Paci
fic. It 1 fitting that other Oregon
lans, largely their decendants, should
have a leading pait.ln extending that
boundary still further westward, and
beyond the wildest dream of their
pioneer ancestor. Whenthey left
us, their country was the leading
nation of the smallest and youngest
continent They have placed it In
the first rank of the nations of all the
earth. Tben.our state was obscure,
its name or location waa scarcely
known to halt the inhabitants of our
own country. On myiwayt'east two
year ago, a gentleman from Hew
York upon learning that I was Irom
Oregon, wanted to know what part
of New York that waa. He will not
ask that questlon,agaIn. These boys
have inscribid the name of our
young state so gloriously, and in such
brilliant letters and so high on the
temple of fame, that eveu the des
troying hand of time.cannot efface it.
For their return the very birds will
sing diviner and more inspiring
Kings. The breezes that cool their
fevered cheek ;and bring renewed
strength and health, the brooks and
streams aa they ripple to the sea, will
catch new inspiration and attune
their voice to diviner melodies in
rejoicing at the return of these brave
boys.
How the veteran of old wars are
welcoming these boy. How their
old hearts swell with patriotic pride
and Joy to find that the sons are
worthy of the sires. How they re
joice that the lessons they taught aod
the examples they set on the plains
of Mexico, In the wilds of early Ore
gon, at Gettysburg, Shlloh and
Vickaburg have not been lost upon
the present generation. That the
flag saved from dishonor by the fath
ers ha been rendered glorious In
two hemispheres by the valor of the
sons. It Is a tuaxlum of old world
monarch, that the king never dies.
These boys have helped to prove that
under the stars and stripes and upon
soil dedicated to freedom, patriotism,
heroism and love of country, those
public virtues never die. When the
old veteran feels the death damp
gather upon bis brow, takes from its
resting place the old sword he wield
ed so valiantly In defense of his coun
try, he known now that he can (en
trust It to hands that will not dis
honor It, that will not desert or sur
render It, that will not wield it ex
cept In the cause of freedom, and will
return It to it scabbard oi'ly when
victory has wreathed the bai ner of
the free. How they with us rejoice
at the achievement of our brave sol
dier boys. How their hearts swelled
with more than ordinary pride as
with defiant shout they charged
across the open fields, faced the fire
of an entrenched foe, and planted the
stars and stripes upon the fortifies,
lions of a defeated enemy. If In this
state there is anywhere a man, who,
because of their achievements and
their work, because ol Massln, Bula
ca Bridge, Han Isldro, Calumpit and
Malabon, is not prouder of the stale
that sent him forth, and which they
have so honored, prouder of the nat
ion for which they struggled and suf
fered, who is not a better man and
citizen, more devoted to hi country
and humanity fur their glorious
achievements, bring firth the mill
stone, hang it about his neck and cast
him into the sea. To use the language
of an old poet:
"Hrrathea there a man with soul so dead,
Who never to himself hath mid
These henm are our own.
Their iltsxls, the pride of Oregon,
Wlnise lieiirt ha n4 within him burned.
At home their (itatee have turned.
From wamleringon a foreign strand T
It such Ihers be, pi, mark him well,
For him no minialn-l raptnrea swell I
High tho his titles, proud Ida nam,
lloandleaa hi wealth aa wish can claim;
Despite tho- titles, power and pelf,
Tli wretch concentred all in self,
Living, ahull forfeit fair renoun.
Ami doubly dying shall go down
To the vilxdual, fruni whence he spring.
Unwept, unhooored and unsung."
I admire a fighting soldier. I
defer to him as my suterlor. How
men of action d waif men of words!
The present universal outburst of
enthusiasm npon the return of the
hoys from the Philippine Islands Tro
ves that this feeling Is as unlvers I
mankind. Thetrue hero Is kio ! a I
humanit). His glorious deeds ar
the heritage of his race. Theysban e
the coward. They disarm treachery,
they nerve the arm of courage they
Inspire the soul of heroism In all
ages. Whatever we may think of
war it call out the best 'ye breed'
and the highest qualities of mag
Biflcent manhood. It U action,
grand, sublime, tntguiOcent action.
What a destroyer of sham-! How
cowan andjweakling shrink to the
rrar and manllneaa step to the fr ot!
How it stirs the bl tod aod elevate
the national lib ! Tb4 grandest thing
humanity ran do U to offer life for
ethers. This every member of the
Second Oregoo has done and some,
alas, have completed this great sac
rifice. The g rat est treasure that any
nation can bave I Its heroes, la
these the present war has made
Oregon more than rich. Summers,
Case, Thornton, Harrington, O'Neal,
High, Lions, Marshall aud Smith aie
only a few of the name that Oregon
will bold more sacred than its snow
capped mountains, fertile valley or
magnificent rivers.
For Clsrk, Perry, Miller, Hibbs
aod Odell, what shall I say? Tbey
have performed the noblest aud sub
tiniest it is given to humanity to
achieve. They have given their
lives ft r their country. Theirs was
not a life neariug Us close, worn out
with dissipaikic, broken with toil,
devoid of hope, its cup of happiues
drained lo the dregs and nothing lef,
worth living for. It was a life at Its
beginning, unspent, everything to
hope, everything to achieve, every
thing to live for. Before their prime
of manhood had been reached, their
life's work had been done, and . wel!
done. Their rest will be eternal,
their fame secure. For you who
have returned ful! of hope and full
of honor, life holds many temptations
aod many dangers. The rest and
happiness you crave may not be
yours. Hope may 19 turned to dis
appointment. The honors of which
your friends are now so proud may
be sullied. The gratitude due from
your country may be forfeited, or
withheld, and life bring only unre
quited toil and bitter disappoint
ment. We hope and pray not. But
the fame aud honor of no man is
safe this side of the grave. Their
fame la secure. Their honor will tie
forever unsullied. Their memory
will be liko sweet perfume. They
have earned and are wearing their
crown, and no power on earth or in
heaven will pluck It from their brow.
"On fauie'f eternal camping ground
Their nllent teat are spread,
And glory guards with aolema round
The bivouac of the dead."
With Young, Uugerman, Thomp
son, Snyder, Malllnger, Heath,
Cramplon, ltommel, McGrath and
others wounded in battle, uo coward
ly traitor can ever bold fellowship or
claim kinship. They aland apart
from their fellows, tried, tested and
true. Every scar a badge of honor,
attesting their courage, their man
hood and their patriotism, and more
glorious than the lives of ten thous
ai d cowards. These men have proved
to all the world that they possess a
courage that "smiles at the drawn
dagger and defies its point."
"Courage, the highest gift that siuma to
bend
To mean devices for a surded end.
Courage, an independent apark from
heaven's bright throne,
By which the souiitanua raised, triumph
ant, high, alone.
Courage, the mighty attribute of powers
above,
The springol all brave acts is seated here
As falsehoods draw their sordid birth
from fear."
These men and their thousand
comrades in a few months of war
have achieved more for their State,
more for their country and its
advancement and future great
ness, have made more anil grand
er history, have written their names
hihger and more ligibly upon the
scroll of fame, than the 100,000 men
who remained at home, in a life lime
eaiful occupation. Tho gratitude of
of their country will be theirs for all
time. Their memories will be cher
ished as long as youth love life.
Their examples will be a treasure,
and an Inheritance of estimable value
to generations yet unborn.
By the self denying acts of these
men and their fellows our nation has
received a new babtiam of freedom,
we bave acquired new heroism and
new heroes for future and higher
inspirations. We have placed pat
riotism above business and valued
liberty more than wealth. The hearts
of poet and orator have been
touched with a holier fire. We bave
learned diviner songs, instinct with
national spirit and that shrill and
throb through every heart. Eiot
and West, North and South. Now
more than ever, we are one people,
having one language, and one law,
and under one fl.ig. And among
those who have contributed to this
glorious result, in the first rank, sec
ond to none, stands the S-cond Ore
gon. In a high order of intelligence,
uptight character, courage and pat-
rio'istu, they have bad uosuperiois
in any army in the world. Tbey
have deserved well of their Hiate,
well of their country. It now re
mains for the s?oile ol Oregon, in our
sulwequeut conduct towards these
hoys, In assisting to lighten lh- Ir
burdens, and smooth their pathway
thru life lo show t iht we i r wi r by
of these hentts, a id worthy J of tho
courage and sacrifice displayed iu our
behalf.

A striking account of the defects f
mislern inachine-guus in war char
acterized by an Kgyptian officer a
"machines Ihst pump led" is con
tributed to Cashier's Magazine, by
Prof. William L, Cathcarl. After
quoting Lord Hiailes Beresford's
opinion that "machine guos, if pro
pcrly handled, would decide the fale
of the campaign," and the au'hor
goes on to say: Thai theje two
distinct types of the modern raaihine
gun of rifle caliber lira single-barrel
automatic, ia which .the energy oft
I recoil, or of a portion of the powder
gases, maintains a constant fire alter
the first shot la di-charged by band,
and the multi-barrel type, in which
from two to ten barrels aie grouped
together, the operation of h siding
and dreing them being perlurmed
thru the simple revolution of a band
crank. The rate ol tire, even from
aiogie-berrell .guns, baa reached 700
per minute, and with the Uiutti-har-reli
type Theie is no more
dcud'y wespon than Ibis arm, when
it is skiltutiy haudled, against lua-sn
ol ins. pa within its range, either iu
steady aim, or, if pivoted, swept
slow ly thru an arc of train. A buzz
saw of death,' saysoud olwrvtr of its
wort; 'the devil Ihst spits bullets,'
tl: s azis named l; and one of I-ttt-.ngula'a
fighting indunas descrittts
its death-hail thu-: 'I led my men ou
but saw them fallii.g like cut corn.
We then balled, knell and fired; but
still l hey fell. We lay down, prol it-ted
by our shield-; but moet of the re
maiuder were killed. So I crawled
away and fled.' The place of the
machine-guu In the attack ia uncer
tain. It is unquestionably an aid lo
infantry in close fighting, siuce,under
such escort, a constant tire can Le
maintained. Again, in high-angle i
firing, a bail storm of bullets can be
rained upon the heads of meu behind
inlreuehments. Its effectiveness in
defers?, however, is ls?yond doubt.
Nothiug can rqintl it iu stopping the
rush of despe rule men or iu relu forc
ing the fire of ii fantry. The place of
the arm, then fore, is essentially in
the reserve, as a gun of position."
There are people in this country
who appear to have lost confidence in
the American people hence in them
selves. When war was forced on us
last year they said tho Monroe doc
trine bail been thrown to the winds
and when we had to destroy Spanish
power in the Philippines for self
they protection said we had entered
upon an era of conquest. But we
have not. As a nation we love ?ace,
and Justice and mercy as much as
le fore. As a nation tho, we aie
pleased lo know that we bave the
resiect of foreigners to a greater ex
tent than before. They know us
better what we ca n t'o aud what we
will do. This knowledge is in the
interest of peace. We know, loo, our
own strength, but that will not make
us quarrelsome.
The speech of Congressma n Tongue
at McMinuville lust Saturday and is
published In it not her place almost
entire, Is the lst that has been made
on that subject In the west if not in
the country. Mr. Tongue' idea of
what it takes to make a good citizen
is particularly timely, anil his state
ment of w hat are the duties ot the
cultured majority Is w hat should be
plainly made. If mote of our public
men would talk thus plainly we
would hear less of political bosslsm.
The democrats and Mpu)isls of!
Iowa have fused. The democrats
uomiuated a state ticket and wrote
the platform, both of which are en
dorsed by (he populists. The plat.
form endorses the Spanish war in so
far as it effected Cubs, but demands
that our ling he pulled down in the
Philippines. Trusts are condemned
and a repeal of the tariff law is de
maiitlid. The coinage question is
