C. A. Barrett Refutes Arguments of
Albany Man Regarding State
ment No. 1.
0. A. Barrett, Republican candidate
for representative from Umatilla
couuty. and a strong adherent of State
meut No. 1, goat tbe following com
mnDioation to tbe Orogonian, bnt pub
lication was refused. lie then sent it
to Tbe Journal. Mr. Barrett is tbe
only Republican candidate for repre
sentative in Umatilla county wbo has
coine out on a Statement No. 1 plat
form. Present indications are that be
will be nominated by tbe Republican
voters of tbe county. His letter to tbe
Oregonian follows:
"Atbena. Or., April 4. To the Ed
itor of tbe Oregonian It baa never
been my purpose to rush into news
paper correspondeuoo, espeoially to dis
Hertate on political subjects. But
when communications like tbat of tbe
loHrned and intelligent W. U. Twee
duleof Albauy in tbe Oiegoniau of tbe
second instant, appear I am somowbat
impelled to answer them, bnt at tbe
same time beg tbe pardon of tbe lead
ing public for doine so.
"It has long beeu understood tbat
ibe Oregonian is a newspaper of gieat
worth, great force, aud it now has a
national reputation. In order for this
paper to maintain its present and past
bigb standard it seems that it should
be at least necessary for it to publish
nothing misleading nothing but tbe
plain, unvarnished truth about great
political issues before tbe people,
espeoially when suoh issues are based
upon law. Of course there is an an
cient legal maxim to the effect tbat
"iguoranoo of tbe law excuses no one;"
however this may te, it is universally
uuderstood tbat but few peoplo know
the law. This writer does not profess
to know it by any means, and it is not
tbe purpose of this communication to
endeavor to lead anyone to believe tbat
be does know it.
"But the poiut is this: Tbe learned
and scholarly Mr. Tweedale in his com
munication has either willfully sought
to mislead these wbo may read t.bis ar
tioio, or ho has mistakenly placed a
construction upon tbe meaning of tbe
primary law and Statement No. 1,
which, at Hist glanoe, is likely to mis
lead many voters. This is too plain
for cavil, and tbe Oregonian knows
tbat the construction in said ooniuiuu
loatiou is not only false and unfounded,
but likely to mislead mauy voters; and
this Doing so, is it doing right by its
thousands of readers to give space to
snoh an article?
"Tne primary law is plain, but tbe
groat majority of people iu Oregon
bnvo perhaps never read it, and will
never read it, and they depend iipot
great newspapers like the Orogonian
to give the said law a fair, honest,
trnthful interpretation. But here in
this instauoe the learned and scholarly
Mr. Tweedale tries to make bis readers
beliovo that if there are Ave RepnjJi
cnu candidates for Uuifod States souu-
tor before the ptirnariui), and four of
thorn got 1,000 votes ouch aud the oth
er 1,500, the one gottiug 1,600 is not
the eboico of the peoplo; and tbat sinoe
the Democrats have only one candidate
uud his vote is 2,500, it would entitle
him to he elected United States senator
according to Statement No 1.
"Nothing could be fart hot from the
truth, aud it is so palpable that we are
iuoliuvd to say that the assertion is
willfully misleading. The faot, under
such cirourustauoes, would he that tbe
Republican gottiug 1,500 votes would
be the Kepublioau nominee at the en
suing eleotiou iu June, and tbo Demo
crat getting 2,500 votes would te th
nominee of bis party. Hence, if the
Repullioaue who are true to party want
to do so, they can voto for their nouii
noo aud give him tbe full 5,500 votes,
and be would certainly be "the people's
choice." because the Demoorut would
only get 2,500 votes.
"In this instance tbe result would bo
that all Statement No. 1 members of
tho legislature would have to vote for
t bo Kepublioau candidate for United
states senator, and if a majority of
tho members of tbe legislature were
Htatonient No. 1 men, tbe 'people's
entice' would le elected; if the legis
lature did not have a majority of
Statement No. 1 men tbeu, aud iu tbat
event, .the 'people's choice' might not
be elected, but instead tho legislature
might he tied up for '40 days aud
nights' trying to oleot a senator.
Therefore Statement No. 1 is the
nearest expedient we have for electing
to the Unitod States senate tbo 'peo
ple's choice.'
"If at tbe coming primary election
Fulton should reoeive 20,000 votes and
Cake 21,000 or vice versa, aud Cham
berlain 25.000. it would not follow by
any means that Chauiberlaiu would be
elected at the Juno eleotiou as tbe
"people's choice," beouuse at the eleo
tiou Fultou or Cake, whiobevergotthe
21,000 votes, might get tbe entire Re
publican vote of 41,000. and thereby
be tbe 'people's choice', because Cham
berlain would ouly get 25,000 votes.
Therefore, when tbe legislature would
rueettoeleot a senator, if it bad a ma
jority of Statement No. 1 members tbe
election wonld be simple and tbe said
Cake or Fulton, as tbe case might be
declared elected without auy '40 days'
of quibbling, bribing aud rascality.

A SOUL
IN FOUR PARTS.
By Rev. Israel Putnam.
. Part Second.
What might be properly called
pride, is no doubt, in the way of soul
winiiing on the part of tbe Church.
And wben I say social pride I do not
mean decency, nor good manners, etc
but tbat which disregards tbe comfort
of another becansa uf superior wealth,
intelligence etc. all of wbioh go to
evince a want of tbo Christlike Spirit
aud shows tbe nuregenerate state of
tbe heart.
How unlike is tbis to tbe attitude of
Jesus towaid tbe poor, tbeuufottunate
aud tbe sin-cursed. lie was known as
tbe Friend of publicans and sinners and
tbe "Common people heard Him
gladly." Mark 12, 37. He went Into
their homes, talked witb them, ale
with them, and helped tbem to a bet
ter life, but He was espeoially kind and
considerate toward the weak and fall
en. John 8, 3-11. From bis preoious
aud powerful lips fell (Matt. 23, 12-33)
soatbing denunciations of tbe Scribes
aud Pharisees who thought themselves
too holy and bigb to show any kind
ness to weak erring ones, while from
bis eyes fell tears of pity, not only for
the inhabitants of tbe wicked city
(Luke 19, 41) bnt for tbe sin-chained
aud sin-cursed everywhere.
Shall the Church follow ber Lord,
or the Scribes and Pharisees?
While Howard Johnston was pastor
of a large church in New York City,
a poor Magdalen came, one day, to bis
study, told him she was tired and sick
of sin and tbat she had beeu to several
aekiug for help to a hotter life, but
they bad all turned ber away. Like
bis Lord, be talked kindly to her, and
prayed with her aud she gave herself
to Christ. He tbeu helped her to a
position. But wheu 6ome of tbe fash
ionable women of bis Church learned
what be was doing they rebuked him
and tbongbt themselves disgraced by
their pastor having anything to do
with a woman of that kind. "Tell it
not in Gath, nor publish it in tbe streets
of Askelon" (3 Sam. 1, 20) tbat those
wbo profess to le followers of the meek
and lowly Saviour should dare to re
buke a Minister of His for helping the
lost and perishing. The blessed Holy
Spirit is often grieved by the pride and
selfishness of suoh hearts, both men
and women, so that tbey cannot be
used as the obannels of bis grace. In
her early days, Methodism was to the
bumble, sin-cursed, aud lost, tbe
strong arm of deliverauoe, as in the
faoe of opposition, aud ofteu serious
and shameful persecution, she, with
loving heart and faithful step and
great sacrifice, and without retalia
tion, so far as I am informed bore tbe
palm branob of .Heavenly peace to the
poor masses of humanity, drifting
down, and away, iu the awf ul dark
ness and inoranoe of sin. Shall we
lose our crown? O that the old time
Jesuslike spirit of loving faithful ser
vice for all, might fall speedily upon
tbe millions of all brauohes of Christi
anity, as well as our own 1 Then tbe
monrners cry wonld rise from our al
tars and great prosperity would attend
onr beloved Zion everywhere.
Indifference concerning the condition
of tbe unsaved is one of tbe greatest
hinderances to revival work on tbe
part of tbe Cburoh. Is it not strange
that men are always askiug bow is
business, bow are tbe folks, how is
politics, how is this aud how is that,
bow is your dog and how is your oat,
etc. etc but very seldom bow is your
soul aud what are your prospects for
Heaveu. If fasbious, flirting and
poodle-dogs were discussed less and
soul-wiuniug more in everyday life, by
tbe Churoh, we should sooner see a
woik of graoe.
Olive Sohreiner in "A South Afri
can Farm" draws a vivid picture of a
little German boy wbo caught a
glimpse of souls dyiug. Waking up
at midnight, be heard tbe ticking or
his fathers watch and remembers what
be said the evening before, that with
every tiok of the watch a soul goes in
to eternity: And it now seems to he
saying "Eternity, eternity, eternity."
He covered his bead and sought not to
think nor hear, but both seemed rather
to increase and putting back tbe cloth
ing be heard the watoh etill ticking,
and now it seemed to tea saying "Dy
ing, dying, dying." Then he saw a
great dark valley, through whioh was
winding a Jong procession of people to
ward a very high preoipice, over whioh
they were dropping into darkness, one
by one, with every tick of tbe watoh.
The boy could no longer control bis
feelings and springing from bis bed
threw himself on hisjface, on the floor,
and oried, "O God, save one, save
onel" Would to God tbat every pro
fessing Christian would have the vis
ion of that little boy I For there are
so many who seem to have no real con
ception whatever of the value of an
immortal soul, and do so little to save
oue from death.
