The Land Frauds.
The picture of the venerable sena
tor from Oregon explaining and de
nouncing with tearful eyes and be
tween his sobs the charges brought
against him, made an affecting scene
in the senate chamber on Tuesday.
The investigation of the charge upon
which Senator Mitchell and Repre
sentative Hermann have been indict
ed, made in connection with the re
cent administration of lands in Ore
gon, Idaho and California, have creat
ed public interest, and it is antici
pated by some conservative journals
that a scandal "beside which the pos
tal frauds~ will seem like the work of
petty-larceny theives" will be the re
sult of the action taken in the mat
ter. The disposition is to push the
inquiries to the end, no matter whith
er they miy lead or whom they impli
cate in the alleged frauds. In speak
ing of the events led up to this action,
the Boston Transcript says:
"What is now in progress is but
another stage of a series of inquiries
which have had results in a number
of arrests, in several indictments, and
some convictions. For more than a
year past the government has been
active in the prosecution of a ring
of 'operators' who by various fradu
lent methods thought they has suc
ceeded in gathering to themselves
considerable sections of the public
domain mainly in the PaLific North
west. Their operations were engin
eered from several points contempor
arneously. They had their represen
tatives or agents in New York, in
Wash igton, in Oregon, and in Cali
fornia, and, of course their accom
plices, -without aid they could have
-done little toward carrying 'out their
schemes, were dishonest officials.
*"Some of these officials have been
indicted and others have been con
victed, but the suggestion of despat
chies from Oregon is that the great
patrons, the real bosses, are 'higher
up.' *The. hope is natural that the in
quiry-will climb to the highest points
of vantage on which the great bene
ficiaries are secret promoters of these
frauds have relied for safety."
Whether the principals in this par
ticular case are adjudged guilty or
not, it is certain the fact that the gov
ernment is willing to strike even at
the highest officials when ground is
found for such -ction, will have a
most salutary and quieting influence
on the politicians who are engaged
in these left-handed deals.
r ITIELNS MdEETING.

portance of guarding the interests

THE PAST.
Judge J. M. Crosson Tells of the Old
Village as Seen Across the
Stretch of Years.
Houston, Texas, Dec, I 1904.
To the past go more dead faces,
Every year;
As the loved leave vacant places,
Every year;
Everywhere the sad eyes meet us,
In the evening's dark they greet us,
And to come to them entreat us,
Every year.
You are growing old, they tell us,
Every year;
You are more alone, they tell us,
Every year;
Old places changing fret us,
The living more forget us,
There are fewer to regret us
Every year.
But the truer life draws nigher
Every year;
And its morning star climbs higher
Every year;
Earth's hold on us grows slighter,
And the heavy burden lighter,
And the dawn immortal brighter,
Every year.
A. D. 1831, seen across the stretch
of 73 years, the old village with its
small circle of well-known families
was a delightful place. Sadness
comes o'er us as we think of how
long ago things happened. Whilst
before the great revival of 1831 they
could not have been counted a relig
ious people, yet they were a proud,
self-contained, brave, generous, ten
der and moral people and the condi
tions of life were pleasant. The men
were true hearted and sensible; the
women were lovely full of grace and
purity of character. Ah, the years
back of us are full of voices, voices
eloquent and pathetic.
"Therefore of all the pictures
"That hang on memory's wall,
"The one of old Newberry
"Seemest the best of all."
A. D. 1832, 'Tis a bright, sunny Sab
bath morn; day of mercy, peace and
rest.
"Hail light serene! Hail sacred Sab
bath morn,
A soothing calm on every breeze is
born."
Yes, like the kiss of maiden love, the
breeze is sweet and bland.
"A flock of merry singing birds were
sporting in the grove.
"Some were warbling cherrily, and
some were making love."
A restful peace like a balmy atmos
phere breathes over the lovely vil
lage. Hark! the deep-toned bell sol
emnly breaks the silence. 'Tis the
bell of the pioneer church (the Bap
tist church.) 'It comes *'er me like
the sweet south wind, that breathes
on a abnk of violets, stealing and
giving odor. The ~good old people,
the smiling maidens, and the gallant
young men are seen crowding the
streets on their way to the church,
for in those days every one attend
ed church service. The building of
the church was the result of +he great
revival of 1831: this revival had a
marked influence on th.i religious
thcught of the village. The meetings
were in Halcyon Grove. Carwile
says of them, "there was no violent
exhibiting of excitement." There was
a warm, loving atmosphere pervad
ing the community-no spasmodic
exhibition as is found sometimes at
revivals. The emotions. however,
were deeply stirred. The christian
religion is love, and this emotion was
manifested by an all-absorbing iove
of God with its coroallary, love to
man.
Cnapman and Carwile give an in
teestmng acceunt of this church and
revival, and :arwile names the ori
ginal members, together with those
that joined immediately thereafter.
What a splendid body of pious intel
lectual folk, whose characters were il
lumined by all Christian virtues il
lustrated in their lives.
Not being able in this letter to
mention all, we will take two men
