LEBANON, OREGON, FEBRUARY 16,1894.
A famous humorist once said: "There
Is enough advice lying around loose to
run half a down such worlds to- this."
The more we think upon It, the more
truth we realize In this ti Ite saying. It
Is a constantly recurring fact to every
one In a public position, be he editor,
teacher, or minister. It is especially
prominent in those cmimunlties that
have not outgrown their swaddling
clothes, and are yet in an infantile
gtuge of development.' Hence hamlets
uikJ rural villages are peculiarly sus-
ieplllile to Its recurrence, and form Its
natural habitat. Thn( Lebanon Is not
xerupt fnmi Its effects hus been amply
demonstrated. Not a minister of this
place, who has attempted work other
wise than routine, but has been over
whelmed by advice enough to have
paid the imtlonnl debt, had It been re
deemable In gold coin, and taken at
the giver's estimate of Its value. The
uatonicuiug part of this remarkable
occiirrctict is, that the donors, in most
discs, are not only non-sectarian but
non-Christian as well.' Undoubtedly
the theories of these street-corner re
vivalists and suloon-bummer Salvation
ists would result in great good If chris
tian men and women would only
adopt them.
A man who has never made a pro
fession of religion lsemiiiently(?) qual
ified to conduct a revival. We have
had the pleasure of hearing several
learned(?) discussions, concerning
church law and church management,
during the pust week; but our pleasure
was somewhat marred by the salient
fact that the aspiring theologians had
had no religious experience whatever.
But how can these sugts go on hiding
their light? Verily: there is an
ahuudance of missionary talent lying
latent In Lebanon. It only needs some
one to change it from potential to
kinetic form and the redemption of
Africa is at hand. Where, oh where is
the puissant "Elder" at this orltlcol
moment? Here, surely, is a field in
which even he might labor advan
tageously. Away with such baldtldasb! I have
no sympathy with that braggadocio
spirit which prompts luBng men, or
older ones either, to attend divine ser
vice for the purpose of creating discord.
Mohammed has well said, "There are
some who say, 'we believe In God and
the luBt day;1 but are not really be
lievers; they seek to ceeelvo God and
those who do believe, but they deceive
theniselvn only." No one is deceived
by such flimsy pretext.
Do not understand me, that I am
seeking to defend the management of
the present revival. T am not taking
up any such rtsponslblllty. The min
ister In charge of the meetings is as
sumed t'i understand his own business,
and advice from me would be Imperti
nence. While I may not approve his
management, neither am I at liberty
to say how he shall conduct his ser
vices. I can at least remain away, and
by so dng "no offence oometh."
It Is my opinion that bis new con
verts are essentially human; hence no
better than those of any other denomi
nation. They seem to be in most
things Methodlsilc, but from ull re
ports it s a Methodist revival.

Editor Express:
I was a thlukin that It wod be a good
plan to rite yo a Ieter and glv my vews
on a fue subjlcts about the sains and
doinsofsomeof thepursons that hav
bean writln and talkiu about different
Idees and things about here.
A good meney persons don't like
them methidists, some dont kcre for
the babtlsls and some dont like to here
Jhe. salyatinsth Now I like the methi
dists best of all, because they run the
meetln acordln to there own idees, and
they hav only one way to get pople in
to heven; they want to drive them
there and they are havin a hard time
of it for the pople in this citty are a
contrarry set of pople, and they will
not drive worth a sent, nnthcr will
they be coaxed, hut a good maney
could lie bought or hired to get there.
Yo no mr edlter that tims are powerful
hard and It takes money to by suger,
and yo cant git pople to think about
heven when the country is so full of
populists. Now If the metliodists
would cinvict the popllsts then things
would be different, but this is hard to
do, for them babtisU Impotred a
picacher that talked a hole lot about
the popllsts Idees, and this makes It
hard on the methodists and also hard
on them republicans and them old line
dimocrats. Now these poplists have a
good windy subjict to talk about and
they are not slow in improvln there
tlm. Now the best wa out ofthedifl
colty would be to stop preehin and go
into the bisnens of couvertin the pop
lists, Muk them see there eror of there
wickid was and then every thing wold
be esey. 1 tel yo, mr edetor, if elder
wa bak wold com to town he wold be
a powr in the land. I want him to
bring his diissli hord to figer on. I
think ho cold setle this mater in no
time. Now that man that cals bim
self Cal Jew Peper wold not be safto
com to toun for them poplists dont like
the jews, for they think that they hav
made to much monny by workin for
It, and he had bettor be a wanderin
Jew than to expos his self to the com
biueiwratb of the methodists and the
poplists. They wold make it hot for
his hyde. No, csl, stay whare yo air
and dont risk your life here.
The repu'.ilickans had a meeting the
other night and thev exklude the
methodists and likewise the jues and
the poplists. there was a niau got up,
a regulalr old time abolitlonsests and
wanted to kno who paid the tarlf the
man that consomed the goods or the
furiner. I tell you that them republl
caus made it hot for him. I think
that he thought that he would be saffer
on the back seat of the methodist meet-
in house than whare he was then.
kno If eldr wa bak wold of ben thar he
wold of helped this old line republican
mistime he wold helu his self to
naybors smoke house). I wanted to
help this man In his troble hut I was
afraid that thev would hancr me for
bein a spye. Now elder, I have got
the grip and pas word, and if yo wll
come over we will take in the sho next
frida knight. We will have tint to iro
to the methodist meetln after the sho
is over, I wold advist the republicans
to not let so meney poplists in the hal
next time aslamaferd of them. Iklnd
er think that the renublickanes air on
the rite trak but they will have to be
kerefull the next time and hav a good
died-in-the-flax republlckan for a dor
keaper so he wil be able to no a pop
list when he sees one. I tell yo, mr
ertiter, poloticks and religen are getiu
red hot In this town, aud yo had beter
make your paper larger Instid of makin
It smaller, as yo will have lots
things to print about. The oamnane
is on and you will not hav to hunt fur
for itms to print, cause the pople are
beln edlcated on thes Importent sub
nets.
I wold advise tho taxpayers of this
toun to not let there clos hang on the
line of nights while the camoaiBlin
on for these poplists are not doing aney
thing but crie hard tims. Yo might
advise the pople to bring in there clos
lines for they might want these to
hang themselves after the reports come
In next June, yo kno that the times
air hard for the mayor of waterlou and
so in his leter to penoyer, and lebanon
pople said that Gov, penoyer nev
told a lye in his lite. He said that
wold not take the oflea of senator i
he
less be got It, and I think that he told
the truth.
. I wll close and will wriirht more
the pople think that they want to here
from mo again. Yours for truth and
lustis,

Why Toll too Boll?
Several months airo. nromnted bv a
sense of justice toward my fcllow-
oeings, i made public some remarks In '
regard to the promiscuous rintrinff of
church bells, which I considered a
torture to the sick and a cruel injustice
the nervous. I was pleased to nolo
that my remarks did not pass wholly
unnoticed, and in more than on
chnreh the subject of bell ringing was
scussed, and several times the pastor
the M. E. church alluded to mv ar.
tide, in complimentary terms.
felt somewhat timid in nmklnw thia
attack lest I should awaken the ani
mosity of a few who would say that I
was meddling with a sacred privilege.
In this, though, I am triad to sav
fears were groundless. Consequently
I feel bolder in making this, my second,
attack. In this I have no fear that r
will incur the enmitv of anvo. n
the other hand I believe others will " -come
to my assistance in pnttlng down .
tins orutai and lnnuman practice of '"
men i shall speak.
A few evenings since. I returner! tn
my homo -where I usually find cheer
fulness to find my wife in tears. Of t
course I knew what .the trouble was, "'
tor l, too, nad been told by the tolling
of the church bell to look back nnnn
the death-bed of our first-born, the
lunerai orgies and the brutal accom-
pamment-the tolhne of tho ehnwh
bell. Buina of a Btrnnror ,,ot,,- r .,

not moved to tears, but a arl fpoim
crept over me to be removed by a feel
ing oi indignation mixed with pro
found sympathy for our mnrtem i,,i-
lizutionwhokeepup the practices of
ancient, half-naked barbarians, who
inaugurated the practice of bell-ring-
iug, oeueving tnst a great noise would
drive the devil away and keep his
majesty at a safe distance until tbey
could get a "corner" on tho
they had pictured in their superstitious
Drains.
Ministers of the
of humanity I appeal to you. It lies ' "
wimm your power to nut an sort t
the harsh grating sounds which con
vey ine saa intelligence to the sick
chamber, that another aoul iuu -
away. In the name of humanity I
appeal to you to put an end to this
cruel nuisance which awakens bitter
memories and causes the poor mother's
neart to bleed when she is told hv rt
cruel tolling bell to look back Into the
ueatn-cnamber where she last saw her
oeioyed offspring. Nuisanne. rlirl T
say? No, it is a great deal worse.-it
is uruiai, oaroarous, murderous.
lou say you toll the bell to ahm .
speet for the dead, when the dead (
auows not wnat you do. It is hollow
mockery and only a torture to the Hv- "
ing, aud hastens many to an earlv
grave. Did you ever stop to think ? '
that you were unconsciously commit-
ting murder, when you order the toll- I
Ing of the great church bell? f
111 COUCluslon I Will ask that, vnn 4
look at thia matter in the light of love
ana reason. Mention the subject in '
yonr respective churches. Call upon
your congregations to vote upon the
subject, aud I venture to assert you
will not flud a single on who will say
j. ueany love to near the tolling of
the bell, for it lells me that. Himthci-
soul has goue and I know not where."
If you can offer any excuse for main
taining this relic of barbarism, I will
nave uottilng more to say. In the ab
sence of a plausible excuse. I shall. In
the name of humanity, continue to
tight this nefarious practice at the risk
of offending a few, believing that I am
m sympatny witn many.
Humanity.
Oh, Populist! Oh, Populist!
Oh, Populist! Oh, Populist!
They say you have gone wild;
So when you argue politics
Just give It to us mild.
Don't get excited when you talk
Of this great nation's wrong, i
But deal It gently to us when
We've paused to hear your song.
Don't call us "robber, thief and
knaves,"
For it will do no good,
And while we may be in the mira t
You may be iu the mud. '
We may be right, you may be wrong,
You can't most always tell;
So in this great and mighty fight,
Study this question well.
And after 'lection time is o'er
And we've both sung our song,
We'll let the voters tell to us
Who is right and who's wrong.
So listen now to what wa snjy
We'll leave this to a vote ,
And after 'leotlon time Is o'er i
We'll see who'll sink and float.
