Wliat has become of our Saturday
Night, saya a reader, who sewmed
disappointed that It did uot appear
in its regular order. She was a. good
Presbyterian and- had her regular
allotment of sermons and we had
fondly supposed belonged to a class
of persons who could best spare the
mental pabulum whieh it seems is
soiuctimes contained in the Saturday
Night. The plain fact is that de
partment of the Journal is the only
real set task of Its editor. A sort of
implied contract lias sprung into
being by which he is under some
obligation to furnish a weekly Sat
urday Night. He is eluding under
this restraint not a little, as lie does
uot believe in set sermons nor sot
editorials. He thinks the lips should
only move when the heart sneaks,
and that performances of this kind
to move hearts should be as far from
mechanical and formal as possible.
He did set down as an iron-bound
rule that ho would only write a
Saturday Night when the spirit
moved him and thusescapo tho dry
rot that is so fatal to all madc-to-order
work in the press or pulpit.
A number of subjects are suggested
for discussion. The trouble with the
Saturday Night source of inspiration
is not that there are uot subjects to
discuss, but that there are so few
new or onginnl lines of discussion
left open. Life is a big subject yet
worn thread-bare, If uot in theory at
least in fact witli most people. The
suhjeet of death might be a more
fruitful topic were it worth talking
about. Tho wise man will say little
about death, tho' he may stiller more
from its cruel blows than he who
eau prate by tho hour jibout death.
There has been a good deal of fine
poetry written about death but
botnehow all its fluo versification
disappears and it becomes meaning
less jingle in the presence of the
reality. So with prose. Silence is
the only expressive tonguo in tho
presence of tho destroyer. As wo
note time only by lis flight, so wo
reckon of death only by the absenco
of its victim. The familiar face and
form of one who was a helpmate for
half a century no longer greets us.
The kind voice and soft step that
were always so willing, whether it
was to help a noighbor, one of her
own, or the stranger, are what we
long for. It is not thn thought of
death so much as tho absence of her
who had come to be a part of the
very lives of all who knew her that
is what pains most, and tho pain of
one to whom sho was especially near
and dear we caunot assuage or
estimate. In another home
n favorite daughter has been
swept away. It was sho who was
always last to complain and llrst to
soothe those in trouble. She was
kind, gentle and willing and was
her mother's second self and shadow.
Now that she is gone a part of the
motherhood that lias cared for the
younger members of the family and
always was ready with counsel or
consolation for the older ones, seoms
to have departed. Tho dark spot
that circle sees Is not death but tho
place made vacant. In a household
of the poor a father Is no more. Ho
was an obscurd and almost unknown
member of tho larger society of tho
city. Ho was a failure from the
financial standpoint; did not stand
up as a pillar of society morally,
religiously or politically; those ho
loved and who had confidence in
liini were not persons whose society
is sought after by the elite or better
clause-). Yet he was all to them and
tliey saw as much in Ills character
as the perfect darling of our social
realm does in the perfumed and suc
cessful parent who presides over a
mansion of wealth. Yet lie had
hardly where to lay his head and
his burial spot is close to the potter's
field. It Is not the bread and butter
his hand supplied when able to do
so that they miss so much as that
wasted invalid form they had come
to lovo,
We all look at the terrors of death
from out of the shadows of its
fatality mid bereavement. In the
presence of the great and universal
facts of life we are at least phllo
fophloal. Our philosophy must
come In before wo reud the import
ant passages. Jllrth, love, marriage,
divorce, disease, death scatter our
philosophy to the winds and only
the cold-blooded oynlo has any of
the precious gift at that time, and to
him it Is of little use, The man of
heart and soul Ikuvs his head in the
presence of things greater than tho
individual mind can oopc with or
understand and submits to the com
uion fate of all mankind In silence.
. .
Having proven himself thorough
ly uuphllosopliloul by saying so
much about an unfathomable sub
ject, ihe Saturday Night editor can
only plead that It wan neccwary to
say something In answer to his
critics, who nt times demand to
know why ho does not write more
on this subject or that. Ho promises
whatever he does to say the things
that are In his mind to say, and not
wrlto to order or command no!
even of his critic. Wo are all at
our best, when wo write as wo would
speak to ono another at our firesides.
Yet it is next to the impossible not
to act a part in our chosen avoca
tlons. Evcu tho actor must demean
himself in accordance with certain
rules of his profession. Ho must
measure up to the expectations of
the public in the walk ho has
chosen. It goes hard with an edi
tor in the public expectation if lie
cannot write an essay on any subject
tho respected subscriber gives him.
What subject it is his duty to write
upon is another matter. Whether
it is duty or not, the subscriber sets
him down for an ass if he docs not
prove able to handle any text glvon
him at least beyond the comprehen
sion of tho ono who gives it. If the
pastor cannot preach better on n
given text than tho one who gives
him that text, or better than that
ono lias heard it preached, woo unto
his ignorance. Therefore the pastor
should not allow anyone to set his
texls. Tho fiddler should not let
other people select the tunes he is
to play. Choose your own tunes
and play In God's name your very
best, is what preacher, editor and
tiddler must do it they would be of
any use whatsoever on earth. So If
anyono fails to find his Saturday
Night at any time, please remember
that you would have been worse
served had you found it. The type
writer is a willing instrument; tho
pulpit is always ready to bo preached
from; and the cat-gut on tho violin
is ready to lespond to tho sweep of
anyone's bow; but if tho soul of the
player bo absent in either case your
time were hotter spent taking in
something with some soul in it.
EMPLOYING OltSOI.UTHAKUUMKNTS
bays the Salem Capital Joint
nal: "Tho corporations have n
powerful grip on Oregon by land
and water." Why certainly; but
many remember tho time when It
was different. You could then
ride over Oregon on a cayuse horse,
or go on foot. Freight could be
hauled on wugons through the mud,
and you could camp by the road
side. There were no corporations
then, with their grip on Oregon, by
land or water. It was a state of the
largest Individual freedom; and we,
who know by experience what it
was.uever cease to look back upon It
with fond remembrance. But there
is a vestigo of liberty left. Wo can
shake off the grip of corporations
and still go on foot, or haul in wag
ons through mud or dust, if wo pre
fer to do so. Oregouian.
It is difficult to convince peoplo
that the only remedy for obstacles
to present progress is to retrograde.
As retrogression is an absuidity, and
an impossibility, and no answer or
solution of present abuses, wo need
not consider such a remedy serious
ly, Yet It is the favorito lino of ar
gument with tho corporation press.
The farmer who is notsatisllcd with
the result of his labors is referred
back as tho only alternative to tho
days of log cabins, 1 ndian depreda
tions, corn meal and bacon stylo of
living. The citizen who imagines
that there might bo some Improve
ment possible in our flnauclal sys
tem, Is asked if ho don't want to re
store tho days of wampum, barter,
"red-dog," "wild-cat," French assig
nats, when wo had no banks, or
when gold was at enormous pre
miums. The citizen who hopes to
see the day when tho peoplo shall
have tho greatest possible service at
the hands of tho trauspoita
Hon companies, is waved back
to the day of going to mill
with u bushel of com as the back
of a caytue. Is that not logic?
Is It not profound philosophy? Is It
not argument unanswered? There
is something wrong with the cltlon
who will not receive such answers to
his questionings for reforms. Hols
a crank, or an anarchist, to say tho
least, says tho Oregouian.
This style of reasoning has been
abandoned by Intelligent Journalists
and this paper will uot spend much
time controverting obsolete argu
ments. There are still farmers in
Oregon who prefer to use a home
made wooden pitchfork, and look
upon a stecl-tlued implement of
modern construction with suspicion
and distrust. The Oregouian is
Just about In the same fix In Its
attitudes on (lie transportation
question.

MIDNIGHT FUNEltAIi OP AI.BEJtT
l'IKE.
Washington, April 10. Long
before midnight last night hundreds
of peoplo had gathered In front of
tho First Congregational church,
wnltiug to witness tho midnight
services over the remains of tho late
General Albert Pike. So dense was
the crowd that it was with difficulty
that tho bearers of tho casket from
tho Scottish rlto sanctuary could
force their way into the church, fol
lowed by a long lino of Masons who
wished to pay high honor to the
deceased brother. It was a quarter
of an hour after midnight before
tho services begau. Tho Bcene
in the church was peculiarly
solemn; tho hour of tho night, the
assembled knights and tho somber
trappings combined to make an im
pressive picture. Tho walls of the
church wero covered with black
cloth, whllo on a catafalque, on a
platform extending out twenty feet
from tho pulpit, was tho casket
containing the body of the deceased
knight. Tliere were nino candle
sticks, four feet in height in three
triangles; on the cast, west and
south of tho casket, each having a
lighted caudle; otherwise tho church
was uullghted. On tho upper cud
of tho casket was a chaplet of white
roses, and below it tho insignia of
the order and the sword of tho de
ceased knight in its scabbard. Upon
a tablet near the collln was a skull
wreathed with evergreens, sur
rounded by seven largo candlesticks,
bearing no lights. At tho hold of
the casket stood a great cross painted
black. When all was quiet and tho
organ played softly, Grand Master
Holt, bearing a lighted candle and
an Iron hammer, walked slowly in
from a room on tho left and stood at
tho foot of the casket. Then twouty-
ouo Knights, ait bearing candles
and attired in black, followed, with
scarfs of crapo and their heads bare.
They entered tho shadows and ar
ranged themselves in a seml-clrolo.
on tho west, south and north sides
of the casket, facing east. For a few
moments there was perfect silence,
a trumpet sounded in plaintive
notes hi an adjoining room, and after
the last faint echoes had died away,
tho grand master begau tho ceremo
nies according to the ancient knight
ly custom. All was quiet us death
as he said :
"It is midnight, and a new day
begins for us. Our brother has fin
ished ids earthly probation. Death
is the inexorablo creditor whoso in
dulgence nothing In tho world cau
purchase. Every moment that sees
a now-born child laugh ut tho light
sees also a man die, and hears tho
cry of a breaking heart aud tho
lamentations of those who sit lonely
aud in the desolation of adllctiou,
no longer seeing thu faces of dearly
loved ones. Round the llttlo island
of our being, on which wo follow
our various pursuits of tool or craft,
of uscfulncs or mischief, throbs tho
Illimitable ocean of eternity upon
which, round the isle, a broad circle
of impenetrable darkness brooding
lies. But beyond that, tho other
oceaii sparkles and Its wiilto crested
waves danco in the light, and some
where hi the distance tho islands of
tho blessed aro dreaming, girdled by
the peaceful waters. Here, in our
present homo, wo live our llttlo life,
waiting to bo culled to other duties
elsewhere, aud one by one our loved
ones and our cherished frieuds glide
away from us unseen, and aro swal
lowed up In darkness, which Is tho
shadow of tho broad wlngsof death."
Thobeuutiful, but wierd services,
wero continued by taking tho chap
let from the temples of tho dead
knight, the cross from tho breast,
the cards from tho feet and hands,
and then, in succession, tho attend
ants approached tho casket aud eacli
laid his right hand upon tho eyes,
cheek, mouth, heart, hands and feet,
each repeating a blessing' When
tho last attendant had touched tho
body of the dead, tho light wus turn
ed up, aud alter all had left the
church, tho remains wero carried
back to the Scottish rlto temple.
