'Edward Beecher, her brother-in-law enters up-, on his ninety first year. ,. Both these famous old people are in very good health, considering their advanced age. Neither of them shows any failure of mental power, and their- physical vigor is waning very gradually.1 Their extreme age makes them remarkable even among a family famous for its longevity.. i In Oregon the hard times are practi cally over. . The returns from, the pres ent harvest will place the people gen erally in, an easy 'condition'. 'We feel confident that Oregon will revive from the depression long, before her sister states. The conservative business methods of the people here warrant this belief. The conduct of the labor ing class during the past great strike has been such as to inspire confidence In capitalists. Oregon has been charged with being one of the slowest states in the union, but the present speedy re turn of confidence here and revival of business has demonstrated that she has been steady and sure rather than back ward. Condon Globe. . ..,;' A further decline of nearly, 4 points in the average condition of apples is shown in the government reportthe percentage standing at 44 against 47, last month. The drop has been severe, aggravated by drouth in many sec tions, and reports state that it still con tinues. This warrants the 'apple grow-" era in watching every apple and see that it does not rot., Dried apples are worth 10 cents per pound, with no pros pect for a decrease for another year. There will be a great call for apples both raised, and the farmers of the north west should profit by it. Pacific Far mer. ' '..- - v ' Growers of hops on the Pacific coast are extremely anxious because of the low prices for their product now pre vailing. At present prices, the hops cannot be marketed at a profit. There is no trade in hops, nor no demand for them, and it is doubtful if. 8 cents a pound can be realized, as compared to 17 cents a' pound three months ago, This year England has raised enough hops for home consumpiou, o-ud as London controls the hop quotations, the market is naturally affected ' The bop crops all over the world have been unusually large, and it is stated that twice the quantity needed has been raised this year. General Daniel E. Sickles ''has a scheme for the creation of a grand national park which will iucluda the battlefield and other historic points of interest at Gettysburg, The purchase of something like 4,000 acres in and jtrouud Gettysburg is embraced in. the the plan. The government already owns several hundred acres at the cene of the decisive battle of the war, and General Sickles proposes to acquire About 2,600 acres more.' - His plan con templates the establishment of a mili tary post at Gettysburg, a i soldiers' home and an Indian school, and' per haps a G.

An exceptionally beneficial and co operative collection of individuals as sembled last Wednesday at the resi dence of W. J. Baker, and after an elaborate 'collation started on a tour of Inspection and . investigation through the valley. The party consisted , of Newton Pierce of Washington, D. 13., national vegetable pathologist; Mr. E. Schanno of The. Dalles, commissioner and eminent bugologist; Mr.. Burpee of Portland, microscopist; George I. Bar (rent of ' Portland, state secretary of Oregon horticultural society, and W. J. Baker, representative pomologist and general manager of the expedition. A goodly number of our pomologists were interlocuted and some insects exteiml uated. but when the honorable geiitli uieu say 'they ; caw a bear, we are most inclined to thiuk they prevaricated. - Both the stale president of the Chris tian Endeavor Union, W.

The report that a confederation to be known as the Central American Re public has been established by Guate- mela, Salvador, Honduras and Nica ragua is ; the' most important news we have had .from Central America for a long time. ;; a .; . . i ' ... .J. ... We hear every few months of a new revolution or insurrection in one of the states, or of a new war between two of them, but this is news of a movement to secure to ' all of Central America- a few years of much-needed peace.' ' ' : ' Several efforts have been madein the last decade to revive the the, old Cen tral A merican Republic of 50 years ago, or to establish a hew one, but they all ended in failure. The first President Barrios of Gautmela might have suc ceeded had he lived a little longer. Nicaragua and Honduras were willing then, to go into the arrangement, but Salvador refused aud could not be co erced into it after Barrios was killed. The confederation conference held in Nicaragua about a year ago drew up some articles, but before the four states represented at the meeting ratified them revolutions had broken out. in two of the countries. In Honduras the revolutionists were aided by the gov ernment of Nicaragua, and the work of the conference was undone. The new conference at Managua, Nicaragua's capital, seems to have gone farther than its predecessor, and to have done its work better, although it is by no means certain that the con federation movement will bo successful even now.' There are so many little things for. these countries to quarrel about -the selection of a city or site for the federal capital, the representation of each state in the general assembly, the proportion of revenue to be furnish ed by each for the support of the cen tral government, the adjustment of the bonded and floating debt of each, and other matters of equal importance. Costa Rica is reported to have refus ed to join the union, but she will change her mind as soon as the success of the movement is assured. She is the weakest of the Central American states and cannot strengthen her posi tion by remaining out of the fold. She must either join the ne w confederation or unite with Colombia on the south. That a permanent union of these iit tle revolutionary countries would bene fit them all t here is scarcely any doubt. Insurrections and wars would be fewer, and the money now spent in this way would be used in constructing public improvements and developing the re sources , of the country.. .- Central America would then have an oppor tunity to progress in the way' Mexico has been doing since General Diaz was first made president of that country , in 1S76.- St. Louis Republic. , , . War and the Japanese, -' The World'B dispatches confirm the reports of the cruel slaughter of help less victims of the naval engagement, which the Japanese '.authorities '. had denied. ' ; '' " - .:- ' ' But the barbarism was only relative. Is not all war cruel and barbarous? Is not its chief object to kill men or maim and mutilate them?-Is there any con cern felt hi battle for the lives of vic- timsor for the anguish of those they love at home? : ' We talk of civilized warfare,but there is no such thing nor can be. War is a wholly barbaric and murderous method of settling international quarrels. It is never justifiable or excusable Except when waged in defense of country, against wanton aggression, and then jt is savagery on part of the aggressor that makes It necessary.'1 . ' ' : 1 Japan appears to have beeti more in considerate of her euemie's lives than more advanced nations pretend to be. But in their hands as in hers war is always and everywhere slaughter by wholesale, induced, by unreason and tuspired by unholy passion. When the world becomes really civ ilized, war will be everywhere looked upon with horror, and more rational methods of deciding quarrels will take its place. N. Y. World. Love and Life. , . St. Louis Republic. .'', That the true idea of the doctrine of the evolution of man is not in conflict with the higher religion has been main tained since the first development of the Darwinian theory. The fierce ec clesiastical assaults made upon the au thor of the "Origin of Species" when he first declared against the, truth .of the story of Genesis and demonstrated on scientific lines the development of tiie race from pre-existing conditions in nature have given place, in every rational pulpit, to either modified ac ceptance of the scientific view of cre ation or silence regarding what was once, and not very long ago, termed the irrepressible conflict between reli- j gion aud science. ' In effect, the difference between the book of Genesis and the ."Origin of Species" is not so vital as might at first glance appear. " Both presuppose mind as ordaining the . law which brings the universe into being, i-In Genesis we are told at once, and in a dogmatic way, that "'in the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God1! . In the, ."Origin of Species" Ave are shown the wondrous development of a design in the creation of the world and the creatures living upon its surface, proceeding on the lines of fixed and immutable laws, which .leave ' human intelligence no room to doubt the existence of an in finite intelligence preceding that cre ation, and ordaining and enforcing the laws for its continued existence. "In the beginning was the word," the same in Darwin as in Holy Writ, whether or not the scientist is as ready as - the prophet to assure us of a fact of which, after, reading his work, we really stand in no need of his explicit assurance. He may go as far is he pleases ill dis proving the Genesis story of the garden and the serpent. Ho can take a longer road in getting to the place where Gen esis has preceded him '. with the arbi trary proposition which he has scien tifically demonstrated. .; But while the Darwinian doctrine of evolution has been steadily growing in favor, it has never satisfied the aspira tions of those who have been most ready to accept its established truths in preference to doctrines which left every thing, to absolute faith and subordi nated reason as a factor in religion. ,' It has been felt that evolution has given us a God who is nothing but a law maker, and whose laws are purely and solely ori the lines of materialism, leav ing to his creatures nothing but a dreary ; conformity with their predes tined conditions of existence. Thou sands who have been led to believe in the "Origin of Species" as a more ra tional explanation of the creation than a literal acceptance of Genesis have yet been led to turn from it for a glance at that God of the Bible who is capable of loving and forgiving men as well as of ruthlessly enforcing against their many weaknesses the laws of their creation, ordained for their government from the foundations of the earth. God must be love or He be not God, and in the God of Darwinian evolution : love had no abiding place. . A brighter light has dawned in the iatesfljook of Prof. Drummond,entitled "The Ascent of Man." It supplements and completes the theory of evolution as set forth by Darwin and his cola borcrs. But it goes much further than any or all of these in bringing home to the mind of the reader, the fact that evolution is the best working theory of life ih ' a ' way which they were never able to do. . The author boldly declares that "the law of nature and the law of love are one and indivisible." . .He ad mits, what Darwin asserts, that the struggle for life has been a prominent factor in the evolution of the race, but, he contends, the struggle for the life of others has been the main factor in its development . Man he regards as the crown of creation, and in the illustra- tioa of this idea he gives ample assu rance of his belief in the immortality of the soul. .."To be a man," he says, "to be the first of that new order of beings who, by their dominion over the lower world and their equipment for a higher, reveal that they are madein the image of God to be this Is to be'elevated to a rank in nature more exalted than any philosophy,' or any poetry, or any the-' ology, lias ever given to man." .In a piece, of exquisite imagery the author tells us that love, as the creating and animating impulse in life, is a pure evolution of science. - Partly a product of crushed lives and exterminated spe cies, it grew from age to age until "the unrecognizable germ of this new fruit was husbanded to its maturity and be came the tree ' on which' society, hu manity and civilization were ultimate ly born." Mlie evolution ot the lather and the mother is outlined and the re,-, lation of child life to the advancement" of the race considered. 1 ' . " 1 1 . Dogmatism has much to fear from such works as this, but true . religion-' nothing. : Thechurchxan thrive under conditions of religious life wnich recog nize the truth as it is proclaimed in na- ture.,: It has nothing to fear at least' from thinkers who can find in evolution ! that man, as thehighest product of this life, is still the creature of eyolution,and is but a preparatory statefor, a higher life which is to follow this.'
