A POINTEK FOU TUB VKOFLU.
The Journal wishes tho peopio
to remember that it discusses public
questions and public men and aspir
ants for public ofllco purely from tho
standpoint of tho people's Interest
from tho standpoint of the taxpayer,
not from tho standpoint of tho
salary drawer. It is ever ready and
will cheerfully give public servants
and public men credit and full credit
for faithful performance of their
duty. It has not a particlo of time
or space for Indiscrimluato eulogy of
Tom, Dick ii nd Harry just because
tluy nre public ofllclals and belong
to its party.
The Jouiinai is for a government
to the people, by the peopio and for
tho people, us aguiust what this
couutiy is rapidly degenerating into
an aristocracy of lawyers and of
officeholders. Tho JouitNAii stands
for a higher sense of accountability
to the neonlo in the discharge of
public office. It has no patienre
with the management of any public
office or state institution that is open
to proper criticism. It will not help
cover up any such, no matter what
party is responsible for their mis
management. All tho other news
papers In the state can do so, but
riiBJouiWAij will not.

A baby generally dies unlionorcd
aid unsung, unless It happens to bo
a newspaper man's baby, and a
newspaper man with the ability
and courugc to recognize tho impor
tance to tho world of tho pure soul
of n child. Tho editor of the Fort
Do.lge, la., Messenger writes this of
the baby he has lest:
Three years aro but u finger's
breadth of time, and what cau a
buby do lu a new world in that little
while? A wee little thing in a great
wide, wide world of which she
knows nothing, and with no speech
except the lauguuge of loyo. Obit
uaries tell of achievements, of strug
gles, of honors, of events aud deeds,
and of 'character wrought out in
tho activities of life. But the littlo
winsome spirit who knew no other
events so grcut as tho coming and
going of papa, and whom tho world
never touched but to kiss, has no
record of this kind to bo written.
Her achievements camo not by
struggles, but by tho Divine touch
which makes tho whole world kin.
Thoeveuts and deeds of her little
life, from the first laugh to tho last
caress, aro all fondly remembered by
those who lovo her, but not for
record here. Her character was not
fashioned here; us God guvo her cho
was civou back to his hand. The
baby's obituary can bo only a chap
ter of love, but is there not a placo
for it, aud has not tho world a deed
for it just as it has for tho tender
ness which the babies themselves In
8pite? No sweeter blessing ever
came to human hearts. A merry,
sturdy, loving, littlo girl, us happy
as the day was long, life was lurger,
tho world more kindly aud the skies
wero brlchter as she grow. Busy !
oh, so busy I was she, us though she
hud so littlo time to stay. Liko a
littlo humming bird, sho ilew from
ilower to llowcr, finding Bweet in
every pastimo and smiles in every
face. No spirit over dwelt more
Joyously ou the earth than she
through all thoso swiftly passing
hours, And now that sho and they
aro but memories to thoso who loved
her, it is precious to believe thut she
has memory too, and thut shu
thinks, and thinking smiles, of the
days aud the loves that she knew
here. With hearts full of gratitude
that her little life could bo so Joyous,
and thankful for the trust, the pos
session, for tho time, sho is given
up in tho faith that no tics have
been severed, but that she belong
to those wiio loved her Htlll. uud
that some duy (heir arms will find
herugatu,

Tho deatli of Charles Stewart
Punielt closes u career which luis
been extraordinary, It would be
well for his famo had his earthly
career closed a year ago. His truest
friends and warmest admirers re
gretted most the unfortunate dis
closures regarding his private mor
ula, ami that u publlo influeuco so
useful to a whole race should be
bo untimely destroyed. Pnrnell per
formed services which must entitle
him to tho gratitude of Ireland for
ever. Ho hud many faults, had dis
agreeable trails and cupuble weak
nesses, but In spite of all ho was a
marvelous leader of men. Intrepid,
arbrltary, Impassive, far-keel ng, pa
tient and absolutely Inflexible, he
was the sort of man who wo need
ed at the moment when he came
Into prominence as u champion of
Ireland In the arena of English
K)lillm. He was able to accomplish
or greatly promote many specific
refonus, tuclt a the organization of
the laud league aud modifications
of tho laud laws, but Important as
these undoubtedly are, they are tho
least valuable part of Parnell's ser
vices to Ireland. His great work
whs tho organization of the Irish
people. This ho succeeded in doing.
Ho mado them a 8olid,commandable
mass, Infused with the confidence
which unity confers, and thus ren
dered it possible for Ireland to Im
press itsolf upon British politics.
Ho had an army which could com.
pel attention and which, lu fact, 1b
nblo at all times to seriously disturb
tho English government through
strictly constitutional methods. He
forced upon English attention tho
alternatives of concession tc Ireland
or perpetual turmoil. In short,
Paruell ns an orcaulzer and leader
converted Gladstone, nud construct
ed tho platform on which tho grand
old man has stood lu his magnifi
cent advocacy of home rule for Ire
land. Such a sorvlco was invalua
ble, and one which none but n man
endowed with tho highest qualities
of leadership could perform. It
does not impair the value of Par
noil's service through tho loug
years of organisation that ho later
blundered grievously, and would
havo imperiled his causo had ho not
before, so thoroughly established It.
His last days wero not his best days.
Rarely does a Moses, though ho led
his people through tho wilderness
forty years, outer tho promised
land. There Is something especially
sad lu tho discrediting of Parnell's
leadership In recent days, but It was
through his own folly. But his
splendid sagacity and forcofuluess
as a captain in the cause of Irish
rights must be remembered uutll
they are fully secured and as long as
they shall stand. Sioux City Jour

Bulem Letter lu(liull) Iowa Advance
Editoh AnvANcr: Frequently
during the past year havo I resolved
to write a short letter to old Sioux
county fiieuds, but like many other
resoultlons it has been deferred too
long, yet of Into there have been so
mauy Iowa and Sioux county folks
coming out here that I can no longer
resist. Ono eau hardly reulbo that
wo'nro so fur awuy from tho good
old Huwkoyo state, there aro su
many of Its people located among
us. At tho "States Picnic" on tho
4th of July nearly fivo huudred
Wore present and registered from
Iowa. These, with a proportionate
number from her neighbor states,
make this a, most prosperous aud
happy community,
The crops this year havo been tin
tisuuUy good heie, and as pilces are
fair no one can complain. The
Wiliametto valley Is a superlorgrain
country, in fact bo lino that furtuera
neglect nearly everything eiso for
wheat raising, Just as they did lu
Iowa twenty years ago, However
tho land hero does not "wear out"
us It doca In Iowa by constant crop
ping with wheat. There aro many
fields in tills county that havo been
devoted exclusively to wheat grow
ing for forty yeare, aud still give a
fair yield. The uvoraga yield per
ucre lu Oregon is larger thau in any
other state in tho Union, where Irri
gation is not resorted to. This Is
proven by rollablo statistics hence I
will not risk my reputation for
verucitv by giving any fubulous
figures.
Good as tho condition of the pro
ducers may seem thero is a still
blighter future dawning Just ut pres
ent. I refer to tho fruit industry,
which has been grudually growing
ever bIiico the ruiirouds hr.vo mado a
market accessible, but which Is still
lu Kb Infancy. Tho Oregon prunes,
cherries, pears uud small fruits are
acknowledged to bo the best In the
world, while ou apples, plums,
peuches, quluces nud many other
vurieties tho "WebfooU' state can
only bo equalled by the best fruit
ruislng regions of tho south uud cust.
The cool summer nights, with balmy
days, InternpeiBed with a few hot
oiufl.muUo jubtsucli weather ub Is re
quired to produco fruit aud vegetables
lu a most perfect state. The farmer
hero Is troubled with very littlo rain
from May until October. This pro
duces a very dry condition, to bo
sure, but with good cultivation mid
tho licuvy dows, most excellent re
hiiIIh aro obtained.
Each year wo have tho shite fulr
here, when a vast amount of IiihcIouh
products aro brought together,
bet-Idea much excellent grain, The
best wheat at (lie Centennial exposi
tion wum grown only a few miles
from Salem, and she will no doubt
furnish the finest for the World's
fulr of 1602. But this Is ouough
concerning tho only bualnew which
nvery town dudo knows all ubout
farming.
Bulem Is known an tho "city of
churches." In round numbers we
have 16,000 inhabitants, fifteen
churches uud fifteen saloons. Mor
ally we intiHt consider Oregon's cap
ital city an above the averuge. The

cated at Batem, lucludlng the rapl
