I A V ! A i'Hl. ADAMG a ALEXANDER, ; Pt'lUiIKl8 AXl PltOVRlKTORS. SIV1LT OF Individ- A king of Asia finor was one time visiting a king of Sparta. In Aeia hi the early days of the world all eitiea wore walled as a defense against enemies. When this King cam to Sparta and discovered the absence of walls hef was astonished, and asked the king of Sparta, "Where arc the walla of your city?" The Sjasian iTukr answered, . "I will show you to-morrow." The next day he ordered the armies of Sparta to pass before his guest in review. As the proud freemen marched by, the king, touching his visitor on the shoulder and point ing with pride to h9 soldiers, said: These are the walls of Spatta; every man is a brick." Tne mor ality, Intelligence and virtue of the individual characters composing a commonwealth is- the foundation of city, of countV, "of- state, and of government-building. If you wish good society, a ; pure and stable government, you " inust strengthen the individual parts of the social fabric.. A brick structure i only as strong as the weakest brick in the wall. Let us cultivate the in stitutions and customs whose in fluence tends to elevate the indvid tsal. Progress in this direction may b slow, doubtless will be so, but impatience is a sign of weak ness. Society is not made virtuous by a decree neither do govern ments attain their majority at a bound. ntOQJRESSIl'K TION. CiriLIZA- Such a civilization as that of the nineteenth centurv brings societv very much under the influence of the richest culture arid refinement. The spirit of the age is aesthetic. 35ven utility goes abroad gilded yind brocaded most " elaborately. The humblest industry has been taught to aspire to a place in the lemple of the arts; and nation challenges nation to a comparison of handiwork. Under such, cir cumstances ; there is a special temptation, to worship faculty, skill or genius. We now ask for -ertincates of merit, and make manhood prove itself by comjeti tive examinations. And now that certificates, medals and titles are o plentiful, it is a bare chance if the uncertificated man escapes con tempt. Men are industriously trained to criticise the external; they are learned in all 'artificial--ism; inexorably exacting in mat ters of dress, posture and pronunciation-- What, then, can the un conventionalmando? Refinement brings its own perils. When re finement boasts of itself it becomes vulgarity . True refinement is a question of the heart, not an attainment of the schools; under the roughest exterior the most er susceptibilities niav throb, and tinder the finest there may be -dross and dust. HAMMER OR ANVIL. T pound or to be pounded, is the orre great question which con fronts every man at some period in life. Whether yon will be active r passive in the world's great iff&aufactory of human character is of infiuite moment to more souls than one. A stumble in- early life may subject your posterity to the torturing trample of "many genera- tis. . aien sometimes ana n con venient to use as a foot-bridge some fallen trunk, or ride to glory on the back of . sqme, haplesa brother's misfortune. Two-thirds of our race are saddled and bridled for the other one-third to mount and ride. A large percentage of our popula tion are nothing but macadam for the velvet" slipper " and the iron heel. Mediocrity and servile obedi ence are used by the ambitious as bridge timber to fill up the inequal ities on the great highway to the throne. Avaricious men stand upon the "prostrated forms of un fortunate competitors that thev may over-reach a brother short of stature and snatch the prize, ere the ragged and" the hungry can stretch-forth the wasted and with ered hand. Men with the stomach f a horse and . a reservoir like a brewer's vat, eat their pastry and sip their foreign brands of wine, while the pinched and hungr y sit at the portals and beg for. crumbs. The liistorv of the world's mad strife Tor bread and butter, is punctuated . And paragraphed by tears and sighs, by battle and pestilence and all the tumultuous changes incident to the struggles for a manly Independence and a satisfying competency. WO,MANUElPNEEDED. Let woman make the most of her opportunities sociall', morally, in tellectually. - At home she is, or should be, queen regnant. All re ligious institutions, all moral re forms, especially that including the social evils, are helpless with out the aid . of woman. - The war now pending between capital and labor urgently demands the sooth ing influence of woman to amelior ate and end the bitter conflict, to heal the wounds and bring peace. Thus acting socially .with man in the outer , and inward world, she will advance her own condition and that of the world -around her. - Natural wars will cease, the arts c business and commerce will flourish, society will ', mould its opinions oft a higher plane, a high er And nobler religion will rise on the minds of theold-4a religion that really means "Peace on earth md good will to men."

If they would talk more alout a fire depart ment and less aW.ut polities it would be more to their interest. The Eagle woolen mills received three car loads of machinery Saturday, consisting of four new looms, one jjig and a rotary cloth press, the ma chinery will be placed in the mill this week ready for operation. Mr. Frank Lawrence has been in town over a week making a pencil sketch or the woolen nulls and Mr. Kirk's residence. He proposes to make several Bketches of Brownsville for the purpose of advertising this town and if the citizens will give him suffi cient encouragement he will have them lithographed. Oil last Saturday Mrs. Powell, of Sweet Home, while cn her way to Prinevillehad a little rough experience. While going down a steep grade the harness broke, permitting the bugzv to run on to the horse, which became frightened and started to mn, throw ing the ladv out of the buggy, but for- tunatelv withoHt injuring her in any way. The horse was caught r.v some men who were employed in repairing the road. The buggy was badly smashed. Brownsville has been havinfc a little tempest in- a teapot for the last few days over the action of the Browns ville Times in coming out for Pennoy er for Governor. The editor of the Times says he Is not a Democrat lie cause he supports Pennoyer, but on the other hand he supports some of the Ivcbuiilican candidates. There are (many life long Democrats that do the same thing. " Again there Is scarcely an issue of his paper which does not contain an attack on the protective policy of the Republican party. When anv man supports the Democratic can didate and advocates the. policy of the Democratic party, we believe" we are right in calling him" a Democrat, and we-do not believe that the Times can be classed ill the future as an indepen dent paper. Some of the leading citi zens, looking at it in this light, with drew their patronage last week and had their paper stopped, henee the tempest in a teapot. Among the lat ter the president of the woolen mills ordered his paper stopped, and also by the consent of a majority of the direct ors tok the advertisement of the wool en mills out. We lielieve the free trade principles of the Democratic party, if carried out, would stop every woolen mill in the United States. No one in Brownsville objects to the editor of Times running a Iemocratic paper, this he has a right to do, but many Republicans, believing it to be an inde pendent aper, have subscribed for it. Upon finding out their mistake they had the paper stopped. This privilege the editor should grant to his subscrib ers without any kicking. We had not intended to notice this trouble in our communication to the Exprkss, but some individual, with more zeal than sense, has written it up ror the Albany Democrat in a sensational manner and made several statements iu regard to W. R. Kirk that arc not true. Mr. Kirk's connection with the mills com menced a little over a year ago. When the mill was on wheels to go to Albany Mr. Kirk knocked the wheels from under it and started tne looms and spindles in motion. To this act Brownsville owes its present prosperity. The mills after running one year un der the management of Mr. Kirk, as sisted by - his efficient Sup't, find the stock of the company at a pre mium. Under these conditions wc don't think the stockholders will be in any particular hurry to chitnge its offi cers, ns supposed by 'the Times. The worst feature ef this unfortunate afTViir is, that the Times is quarreling with its tiest iriencis: witii me men who ! worked hardest to establish a local pai.er 111 tb IS place, Slid Who have Jsl- m-mvb hail ft irruvl worri for it nrl hivo vt ajs na gooo ivera ior if ana nae alw ays frowned upon any criticism of the pnper since its first publication, and its editor must admit I hat there has teen room for criticism many times in the past year.

It Is not jtvnerally known that Jay birds are mi pratory. but they have liocn known to aciuallv go as far 1: Kth as the sta'e of Washington, and return after so Ion? a time, hut it is generallv s-uppod thnt their return i due to the fondness for oilier members of the family. A beautiful Jay went into the O. P. C. S. Wed nesdiiy evening with the intention, so she said, of buying a cm of baking powder. However, after making quite a stay she came down the street carrying nothing but a small Img of enndy hearts. We will not attempt to give an explanation of this strange roeeeding. A leading Jny Is reported to have broken mie No. 1 at Sodavllle last Sunday. If he does not show- up nt Hie proper iilr.ee Main street and ask forgiveness, he is liable to exclusion for ten days, more or less. This may seem a rather se vere penalty to'him. hut the rules must be enforced to keep peace in the family. - At the candy-pulling quite a flock of ltcantifnl nnerowm-d jays oempied a corner all to ib.em selves the greater part of the evening. Finally a little Methodist" jay with a topknot sailed into the tlock and indneeil one to fly with him. Hut when Orv put in an nppear.inee he made quite a scattonncnt. carrying away two (?) small ones. A "couple" of w ise Jays could find no pleasure In such a simple pastime as pulling candy, Friday evening, so tliey new ') to tlie suburbs, where, they eonld get a go! view of the heavens and en Joy their favorite study, astronomy. They also give some attention to figures they can tell how many boards and nails there are in Re number of blocks of sidewalk. The Ojilderoniiins and the Moonshiners have been keepimr very quiet lately. u;m which fact their friends are eongratii ating themselves. However nt the next meeting of theOiideroni-ins there will be initiated some new Tnemncrs who will Ik? valuable acquisitions to 'the band., said new nicmiicrx having all the qnnlitientions neces sary to make first-class Cnhleronijins. These pcI'ltf will make themselves heard liefore long. : The jays hrve nnanimotislv paved resolutions ! dcnincing the city authorities for extravagance i in having the street lamr-s lit these moonlight I nights. The fact is the jiiys think the lights are ' unnecessary even on nights that are somewhat dark, and if the resolution hud lieen introduced to have the lights' entirely nlsilished it ' would have pnssed jn-t the same.

A flntvly jny will act ns reporter next week, and tho family may expect something rich. She is a bird'' of a writer, as will lie seen by the follow ing, which she scratched off and handed in: Once Uion a time, in the year 1X90. the month of May. tae 2Sth day, after the nun had gone down, a small party composed of six jays met for tlie important purpose ol having, not a "enndv pull," but a "can dy eat." which was Immensely enjoyed by all. After having initiated one Jay into our bird fami ly and a permit to enjoy the "candy eat," free of charge, we proceeded to enjoy the literary exer cises, a ter which the Colderoninn band gave ns a short selection, and with many a handshake wc bade good night tootir brother and sister jays with a fond hojic of meeting soon again.

GIRLS' SHOES. Talk about other brands of shoes than the magnificent lino kept by Montague. Shoo, fly, don't bother me; there is room enough in the world for thee and me. AVe can KIT anyono, and when Montague says FIT he means it, and he is not going to send you out of his palatial stores with thoac Abominable monsters in leather which you may possibly find in other establishments not a thousand miles from our grand em porium, and which makes your feet look as though you were a new arrival front Chicago. No, do not make any mistake when you want GOOD Boots or Allocs for mother, wife or sister, the grandmother to the baby, the grandfather to the last new loy, but be sure to call on Montague and se cure what you may require iw that line. Every pair fully warranted. How as to Clothing. When the purse was emptied, as above succinctly set forth, Montague was compelled to open another bar'l for the purpose of securing to our cus tomers the latest novelties in fine suits as well as those adapted to every-day wear. We are now opening up our elegant designs in Oregou City Cloth ing, California Caswimcre Clothing, Men's Clothing, Youth's Clothing, Hoys' Clothing, all Imported Gooda, elegant-fitting garments, at scandal ously low prices. Montague has had over forty years experience in welling goods), twenty of which were Npent among you right here in IidMinon, and he now propones to spend the evening of hi life in giv ing to one and nil nuch prices as the Ross Granger of Linn county never dreamed of. Make Montague know you are going to pay cash down and no grumbling (the chronic grumblur In a despicable creature), and ho will make prices to you all right. MONEY ONCE MORE. The people who promised to pay up by the 1st of Inst January and failed to counect may find their accounts where it will not please them. Montague does not propose to waste valuable time in hunting up these delinquents, but will send the most forcible collec tor he can employ to wile the dollars due me from these much-promising and never-performing gentlemen.
