' McArthur's Speech.
VJ In hte opening- remarkks, Mr. Mc
Arthur told of tho spirit of progress
ttwnlcbhas beon tho motive power
In all tho stages of human develop
ment. Ho declared that this spirit
baa guided and directed men of all
ages Luther, Rosseau, Gombettl, and
William tho Silent and that here In
America the sufferings end priva
tions of our Re volutin, i.) forefathers
produced such loader as Samuel
Adams, Patrick Henry and George
Washington. Tho progress of the
Anglo-Saxon race In Us struggle for
Western supremacy was dwelt upon
at considerable length, as were the
groat qualities of Washington and
Lincoln. In commenting upon the
events of the Civil War period, Mr.
McArthur paid a glowing tribute to
the soldiers of the Union Army and
their great display of courago and
patriotism at Chicamauga, Shllo, Get
tysburg, Fredericksburg and Chan
vellorsvllle, commenting particularly
upon the leadership of Generals
Grant, Sherman, Meade and Thomas.
Laxity of Politics.
The general industrial and eco
nomic advancement mado by this
. country since the War of the Rebel
. Hon was commented upon at some
length, but the laxity of our system
of politics received a scathing de
nunciation. Tammany Hall was
flayed alive and the Quay ring in
Pennsylvania received similar treat
ment. The election 6f Lorlmer to the
United State3 Senate was character
ized as a "dark and shameful page In
history," Tho speaker plead for more
Interest In public service by the In
telligent and patriotic citizens of the
country who .have neglected their civic
duties in the great struggle for wealth
and social position. He pleaded for
practical reforms In the interest of
the honest, intelligent and loyal
people of the nation the people
whom he characterized as the "bone
and sinew of tLe country."
Popular Government.
In commenting upon conditions
that exist In the state of Oregon, Mr.
McArthur seld:
-, "In tho working out of practical
reforms and in the conferring of law
making power upon the rank and
file of tho electorate, thero Is always
that grave dancer of strong reaction
that bodes no good for tho perma-
, nency of our government. In our
own state we havo witnessed sweep
ing changes that have placed great
power In the bands of tho people and
put out of business tho erstwhile po-
lltlcal boss. There is a tendency,
however, to overwork both the Initia
tive and referendum and to brand
our magnificent commonwealth as a
laboratory for crude governmental ex
periments and unsafe laws. The
permanency of our system of direct
legislation depends upon its wise and
not too frequent use. When used for
tho purpose of revengo and in the pro
motion of private Interests, tlio Ini
tiative and referendum will become a
curse to the future safety of tho re
public Used cautiously and judi
ciously these great powers will prove
of Infinite value to our people. Let
us guard with Jealous care tho groat
Institutions of our government, avoid
ing both tho dangers of corporate
greed and unprincipled demagogy,"
Tho domngogue, tho apostle of
, quack statesmanship, and the agitator
who preaches the gospej of discontent,
wero alike characterized as undesir
able cltlzons and dangerous members
of socloty,
The spirit of progress and the love
pf country wero tho underlying
.themes of tho entire oration, and the
spoakor frequently admonished his
BAidJenco to keep in mind these requi
site factors in tho otrugglo for a
greater America and a bettor civili
zation." piaronco Noo was in Medford Mon
4y from thp ftrm. Ca,ronco has bo
(omo a full-fledged fnrmor and finds
his health and enjoyment of tho good
things of llfo much improved.

CHIEF JUSTICE
FULLER DEAD;
HEART FAILURE
Head of Superior Court of United
States Dies Suddenly at Bar Har
borWas Appointed by Cleveland
in 1888 Was In Seventy Eighth
Year.
BAR HARHOR, Maine, July 4.
Chief Justice Melville W. Fuller of
the supreme court of the United
States, died here today of hoart
failure.
Justice Fuller was born In Augusta,
Mntne. February 11, 1833, and had
served as chief justtco slnco Octobor
S, 1SSS. He took the oath of office
on October 8, of the same year. Judge
Fuller's father was Frederick A.
Fuller, and thero Is coincidence in the
fact that his mother was tho daugh
ter of Chief Justice Nathan Weston.
Young Fuller r.ttended school at Au
gusta and was graduated from Bow
doln College In class of 1S53.
Story of Career.
After Mr. Fuller's admission to tho
bar In 1856 ho remained in Augusta
only two or throe years. In that time
he was a member of tho city council
and at ono tlmo city attorney. Then
he went to Chicago. He was olected
to the state constitutional conven
tion In 1S61 and in the following year
to the state legislature ns a Demo
crat from a strongly Republican tick
et. He was chosen as delegate to
tho Democratic National conventions
of 1864, 1872, 1S76 and 1SS0. Ho
was an Intimate friend of Stephen A.
Douglas and was the'chlef speaker at
the meeting of welcome extended
Dougllas by Chicago in 1S60.
When Mr. Fuller was appointed to
the highest judicial position in tho
nation the subject of his partisanship
came up. A Democratic president
(Cleveland) was in office and ho was
expected to appoint a Domocrat. Pres
ident Cleveland closely studied Full
er's political career and announced
that Fuller was not too partisan and
thereupon appointed him.
Well Informed Man.
One of tho remarkable things about
Chief Justice Fuller was the wide ex
tent of his gcLeral knowledge. It
has been said that no caso ever was
presented of which ho did not havo
knowledge, 'acquired previously.
.Chief Justice Fuller spont much of
his time at Washington at study and
work, yet he found time for social
enjoyment. At his summer home at
Bar Harbor he devoted much of his
tlmo tostudy.
Fuller wa3 married twice. His first
wife was Callsta B. Reynolds.
In 1866 he married the daughter of
tho late WIHIfcm E. Coolbaugh, a
Chicago banker. Chief Justice
Fuller had eight daughters all of
whom have married.
