ROSEBURG REVIEW ISSUED FRIDAY MORNINGS BY fHE REVIEW PUBLISHING CO. J. R. N BELL, - - Editor. FRIDAY, JUNE, 24, 1887. Xtempest in a teapot. MER1C1TT, NOT MERIT. .1 .Vt'if Daniel lias Come to Judgement. Last week our prolem made a brief reply to the abusive article in the Ore gon Sentinel of June lllh, 1887. When Ave cumc home it was shown us, and we feel it our duty to say a word in reply to this paragon of erudition and journalistic politeness. Prof. Merritr, a gentleman of local notoriety in and about Jacksonville, a man who has but recently doffed his pedagogic parapher nalia, and who has had his name as associate editor of that neat little sheet, so latelv. printed upon its fore castle, iand looking at it every day no doubt, he felt that he was destined to become in a short time the embodi ment of "good manners," "purity of diction," and 'polished phraseology of a scholar." Now we wrote thi3 little local about the Times a fow weeks back. Here it is. We often differ from the Jackson ville Times, but are pleased to say that it is one of our very best state ex changes, and nothing can be more con temptible than the petty flings made at it by its neighboring contemporar ies. Stop growling at the Time?, and make as good a paper and you will do better. And now behold nearly a column of irrelevant vaporings about The Re view editor. What harm did we ever do you Mr. Merritt, that you should descend to such ilo epithets unbecom ing a gentleman of your prefessed culture? "We are not Mr. Nichol's apologist. We only stated what was true. What makes you roar so much like ShakespearV mooncalf in "The Tempest" Did we strike you between the joints of the harness, or while you were fleeing like a coward, did our mis sile hit you in the neel, the vulnerable place of Acbilles, a greater man t'.mn whom never lived, until the nineteenth century, and a man of "polished man ners at that, and can no.v be found ir. Jackson county Oregon, helping tt. edit a little 7 column newspaper. Our extreme modesty almost prevents us from suggesting to one that has cf late shown symptoms of the enlarge ment of the brain, that truth is an es sential quality in a newspaper artiele. Take this for example from the man of diction and "scholarly phraseology " "The readers' of The Review will re member that during his clerkship incu bating season the editor of that paper delivered himself of a bombastic, gar rulous, omnipotent I, impotent you, sort of an article, against the editor of the Times," As a matter of fact that article re ferred to by this doughty gentleman, was not written for quite a period after our clerkship had hatched and we had begun to preen our wings to take flight to that higher, "sacerdotal" at mosphere, about which the "polished mannered" gentleman HO eloquently talks. lie says, when we make a better paper than the Sentinel, then, and only then, will he listen to what we have to say. This suggestion is a very striking sign of a dangerous di sease of this journalistic fledgeling, called in pure English, the "Big head." Make a better paper than the Sentinel indeed. Bright and brilliant reasoning for a "scholar." Such words as "in jection, louse, hypocritical" and the like in an article written by Mr. Merritt the leading schoolmaster of Jackson ville, shows that a dose of "good man ners," would be a wholesome decoc tion for this pretentious half editor, of the hybrid sheet, half democrat, half republican, Jackson and Merritt, a compound monstrosity; half saint, half devil, and by close scrutiny of these phrases, you may perce've who his eatanic majesty is. Now Mr. Merritt, fairly and squarly, surely our little item did not give the offence you make out. You must hayehad a small quan tum of pent up venom at us because we dared to suggest that the Times was a better paper than the Sentinel, with the man of "diction at its head. This of course you could not endure, and you thought you saw a near cut to notoriety, and in order to impress your admiring fnntsfif npni'V frmiio-ri vprv Kmn.!).l With vour wonderful powers of invective, you let fly at us. The inapt references you make about us, such as "phari saicnl assumption; disparaging other papers, arrogation, political ambition, hypocritically inconsistent" and the like, "became the thing, wherein was caught the conscience of the king." The readers of your gratituous, marked copies sent to this section saw the man of "polished" exterior, making an ef fort to "out Herod, Herod." But your flimsy and tattered effort only made von the more ridiculous. The 'gentleman that made such a pretty sneech in Roseburz once on a time -r w says that he will not "listen to us never, no, never," until we are an es tablished success." The logical infer ence of this sentence is that he, Mr. Merritt, the qitasi editor of the Ore gon Sentinel, is capable of judging when a man is a Euccess. Or pvehajps he means that lie is a brilliant success, and is therefore a capable umpire of Oregon journalism. Now sir, with a trembling hand in your royal presence, we pen this line to you; a man so de void of journalistic or gentlemanly couitesy as yourself, a man that will grab at a straw to find a pretext to write as you did in that unmanly ar ticle headed "inconsistent and insolent" in your issue of June 11th, is not des tined in our humble opinion to become ac an early day a second Horace Greely, or Dana, or a Pulitzer, or even a Ilarvy Scott. When your belligerent soul gets on fire again, or you feel that you are going to have another unpro voked eruption, or about the time you have intimations that you are going to pour forth some of your editorial, Vesu- vian lava upon us, do not fail to let us know, that we may hie away to some place of refuge to avert if possible the fury of the Assyrian Kipg, who leaves only destruction in his wake, with his "purity of diction, polished manners, and scholarly phraseolcgf." A BJllEF STATEMENT. Inasmuch as I have heard of late that the animus that prompted my change ofchurch relations, was the ill feeling that I entertained against the Southern Methodist Church, therefore I believe it to be my christian duty to say that no such feeling ever did exist in my heart against the great connec tionatism that has done for me more than allother3 combine J; I hiva always from early youth enjoyed strong pre direction's for the Presbyterian church, bacause of its conservative and efficient representative form of go vernment, because of its splendid history; and its correct statements of practical theol ogy. Yet, with all this in my mind, it was no easy matter to sever myself from a church that is doing a wonder ful work in the world, and has done much for me. And also, I believe, that a particular church relation is not essential to salvation. 1' believe that church relation should be simply a matter ot preference, and not a mat ter of bigoted prejudice. I believe that persons will get to Heaven from every church under the sun. I have the kindest feelings for the Southern Methodist, and for the M. E. Church, md for all christian denominations. The Southern Methodists, a few of them in Oregon thought that 1 should not speak in a private way, (and I neve spoke in public, or wrote a line for the press until this moment upon this topic) my convictions as to the efficient perpetuity of the M. E. Church South upon this coast, otherwise it would subject me to the charge of dis loyalty. Now I did not believe that we could ultimately succeed as a vital church organization in Oregon fend Washington Territory, I believed thai the M. E. Church could care for all of the Arminian school of theology, both in education and religion. And as I saw more of this county, my reasons in creased for this view of tho subject. Bishop Wallen of the M. E. Church told me in Roseburg that he never would appoint another preacher south of the Mason ard Dixon line if he could avoid it, and if the Methodists were represented by the Southern Methodists in that particular section, I believed this to be a non-prejudiced, and christian view of the subject. I did not believe that the Southern Meth odist ought to erect pulpit against pulpit, as you see in Roseburg, Cor vallis, and other places . Dr. Kelly held to the same view in a letter to the Christian Advocate of comparatively recent date. Drs. Kelly, Joseph, West, Cunningham, Windfield and others, said when I ws in Nashville a few years since that it was not good policy to sustain the Southern Metho dist church on this coast. Bishop Hargrove intimated as much to one of the preachers in the Columbia Confer ence, by saying that the missionary aid was contingent upon certain circuits becoming self-sustaining etc., etc. Other reasons lead me to this conclu sion. In Salem the capital of the state there was once a church of the Southern Methodists, none now. Never was one in Portland, and in various points of Oregon and W. T. In 1850 I be lieve it was, that the M. E; Church was planted in S. F. four years later the M. E. Church South was also planted there, two years agoia San Francisco and Oakland the M. E. Church made 27 appointments in the district named, and the M. E. Church South made two, one in San Francisco and one in Oak land. Another thing, differing honest ly from a few of the brethren as to the propriety of the Southern Methodist Church controlling the State Agricul tural college, I incure 1 their displeas ure. Now I do not believe that any church ought to control state funds in that way, for it is damaging to the church that does without a question For the good of the church, and cer. tainly for no other reason, I did what I could by their direction, and in ac cord with my own views to sever the relation that existed between the church, and it was accomplished in good faith, and for more than a year there was not a word of dissatisfaction from any quarter. Then unfortunately for the church, an effort is being made to regain control of that which has been an "eye sore" to the church for years. Tho Bishops that are taking part in this matter are very much in the dark. A difference of opinion that I persiste itly believed for some time, has caused some remarks by brethren of honorable dciiree, to make that is j not in keeping with my idea of free and honorable convictions, and chris tian propriety. 1 only write this statement that all may see the matter as it really is, and not as some represent it I do not by any manner of means endorse the opprobrious epithets ap plied by some of the papeis of Oregon to the Southern Methodist church. A full history of the college matter will be published shortly, suppressing ; no part of the records, as we are sorry to say Dr. D. C. Kelly did, for he claimed to have all documentary evidence be fore him, and yet he did not publish a solitary resolution of the Dayton Con ference, nor the rescinding icsolution, nor the deed of conveyance to the state, nor anything that gave tlw state a shadow of claim except tho notifica tion to tho uovernor. w hen 1 was in the active relations 1 1 the church served it as well as I knew how, and when my convictions gresv into a pos itive reality so far us I was concerned, I located, notwithstanding Bishop liar- grove said to me at tho time I asked for a location, "that he was sorry to hear me ask for that relation." Less than 18 months thereafter I asked for letters of standing from my Presiding Elder and preacher in charge in order to join the Oregon Presbytery, and they handed me the following; Oreg. Dist , Columbia Conference, M. E. Church South. To all whom it may concern. This is to certify that the bearer Rev. J. R. N. Bell presented his certificate of lo cation, as a local Elder, to the quarter ly VJonrerence ot Kosebunr charge, on Dec. 4, 1886, and his name was regu larly enrolled on ' the journal of the Conference, and is n w ii good stand ing in said conftrcace. E. G. Michael, Presiding Elder. April 1 1, 1887. This is to certify that Rev. J. R.N. Bell has been an acceptable member of theM. E. Church South, Roseburg rlas, Oregon District, Columbia; An nual Conference. He is holding the order of Local Elder in said church. T. P. Hayxe-, Pastor. Roseburg, Oregon, April 18, 18S7. P. S. Rev. J. R. N. Bell has been one of the most promiuent ministers in our church on this coast, and faith ful and efficient in all his work; and as an old friend I recommend him as true and tried. I have known him in timately for 12 or 14 years. t. P. Havnes. With kindest regards for the South ern Methodist Church I remain, Yours Truly, J. R. N. Bell. INDIAN WAR VETERANS. SECOXIi AXNUAZ. JlEVXIOX. Speeches at the Pavilion by Various Veter ansPresentation of flags and business Of the E nea miment. Pursuant to the announcement which was published, the precession and exercises of the Veterans were held on the 14th, inst. Promptly at 1.30 o'clock the procession formed on Fourth street under the direction of the Grand Marshall, J. Smith of Camp No. 4 assisted by W. II. Mitchell of Multnomah Camp No. 2. The procession was formed as fol lows First, Kay's band of celebrated musicians; members of the Indian War Veterans numbering over a hundred marching three abreast; carnages car rying invited guests and those members infirm with age or crippled. It was a rare sight to see these heroes who did valiant service more than a quarter of o century ago marching side by side as they fought for home and firesides in the "dim and shadowy day forever fled," many of them with weather stained faces, bending forms and whit ened locks. Several of the old and faded flags which had been borne tri umphantly to victory through the In dian wars were carried proudly at the head of the procession. Among those seated in the carriages were Col. T. B. Wait grand commander, Col. John Kelsay vice-grand commander, Dr. W, C. McKay, Mayor John Gates, Col. Joe Teal, Col. W. W. Chapman, Col. J. K. Kelly, Rev. T. L. Eliott, Capt L. F. Mosher, Dr. R. Glisan and others. "Fall in Veterans"- "March" was the word of command given by the grand Marshall Tbey marched in order to the Mechanics Pavilion, All along the line of march the streets were thronged with crowds, thousands of people wit nessing the parad. As soon as the carnages were emptied the band and veterans entered the building. Among those seated on the stage was noticed Co'. Wait, Col. Kelsay, M. R. Hathaway, Dr. Glisan, Col. W. W. Chapman, Col. Kelly and qthers. Sev eral hundred persons had already as sembled at the pavi'ion before the ar rival of the procession among evhom were many ladies; over one thousand persons were present. J. H. Millen Esq. acted as president and called the assemblage to order, strains of music from the band followed. Rev. T. L. Eliott offered a brief prayer. Mayor John Gates delivered the address of welcome. He said he was very glad to see s) many veterans of the Indian wars. It was a pleasure to look into their time marked faces and recall the memories of the past. These old cher ished associations could never and ought never to be forgotten. They should never die but be kept fresh and green. It warmed the heart and kept bright the claim of friendship and uiotueruooa. As mayor of the city he bid them thrice welcome to Portland1 on behalf of the citizens and honed n, i . ... . . 1 uiuou yiuaaaui, reunions might be per petuated while a survivor lived. Again I welcome you to our city add ed the mayor as he resumed his seat Col T. B. Wait frrand l-J "'uUV1 j W. V. responded in grateful terms to the mayor's address of welcome. He briefly reviewed the causes of the sev eral Indian Wars of Oregon during it3 territorial days. He told of tho rri vations of the campaigns; what suffer ings and dangers the men of the pion eer period went through, spoke of their bravery and courageous heroism which prompted the early settlers in the defense of home and firesides. He honored these noble men who when danger threatened, sprang to arms and stood between wives and children and the sanguinary foe. These old veter ans who suffered, who braved perils ssen and unseen, and who drove back the murderous Indians by their own unaided efforts deserves all praise fiom future generations. Posteiitv would never know the deep debt it was under and would scarcely ever.l. able to repay these adventurous spirits by whose daring and prowess was laid the foundation of our present empire of civilization on the northwest coast. He spoke of the claims due these veter ans from the United States a"OTe2at- ing 4,000,000 which had been diaal- lowed. He was more than gratified at the large attendance on the occasion) and on behalf of the veterans returned thanks to the city of Portland for its kind consideration and welcome "In conclusion" said he, such a cor dial welcome make3 our hearts beat with pride and joy and we glory in the achievements of the past. May God bless you all, and may your proud citv increase in wealth .-.nil importance to the end of time. The aged form and gray hair3 of tho speaker, his deep feel ing and earnest manner, claimed the interest of the large audience and on retiring ho elicited sincere and raptur ous applause. Several battle flajrs were displayed tattered and bullet rid dlerl as silent mementoes of a bloody crisis. One of the ilags was carried by Gen. Pliil Sheridan when he fought the Indians at the Cascades in 1856 Col. JohnKelsey was tho next speaker He re.vicwed the Indian Wars from the Whitman massacre to the last cam paign carried on by Gen. Miles. He spoke in glowing terms of the late Gen. Joseph Lane in the wars of 1852 and 53 and of the ofiiceis and men under h im. He spoke at length of the great war of 1855 and 56 extending from Puget Sound to the California line, and mentioned with becoming praise Col Kelly, Col. Nesmith, Ma). Armstrong, Major Bruce, CoL Chapman and others. He dwelt with severity on those who had. tried to underestimate the-valor of our Militia and that too much credit was given to the regular soldiers to the detriment of the volunteers. The vet erans owed it to themselves to see that history relating to themselves should be correctly written. The Cd. was fre quently interrupted by rounds . of ap plause. Dr. W. McKay was tho next speaker. He went far back in the his tory of Oregon 1839 when the entire population of Oregon was C5 adults. He gave details of the several Indians wars which held the audience almost spellbound by the cunning and atroci ties of the savages. At the conclusion of the Doctor's able address the audi ence dispersed, the band playing a fare well air. BUSINESS MEETING At the close of the exercises men tioned. The annual meeting of the I. W. V. was held in the council chamber Col. T. B. Wait presiding, M. R. Hath away (Gd. Adjutant) as secretary. Re ports were read and acted upon with other important business transacted. Col. J. Kelsay was elected Grand Com mander for the ensuing year and Capt L. F. Mosher Vice-Grand Commander, In the evening Col. Wait delivered his retiring address at Masonic Hall many, ladies being present. Speeches were' made by several of the members both interesting and enjoyable. Old battles j fought over again recounting ambus-; cades, deadly surprises, and the sweets; of victory to crown us all with peace at last. The horrors of war was twr- trayed by some of the aged speakers with a blood curdling pang which threw j a new light in the history of Oregon; Territory 30 or 40 years ago when: some of the listeners wore dwelling in; safety at the East. The committee on; badges reportsd and the design suo-J gested by Capt. Mosher was adopted.! After a brief address by Judge Caples' estolling the deeds of tho brave volunJ teers. He roused the audience to a pitch of heroism and who gave three rousing cheers for the men and women, who fought our early battles and res cued the countrv, amidst cheers and strains of music, Tho - meeting broke up and the large audience filed out oij the hall gratified beyond measnie bv the days proceedings. i ns suspiciuu is au:o;iu m tue lanu that commander Fairchilds was inebria ted at the time of his melodramic curse1 m i .1 . , of the President of the Unitsd States May the Hon.

Editor: While opinions are in order on the subject of returning flags captured during the war, mine may be considered with the balance. When a flag is captured it is presumed to be attended with a hard light and if won, it is reported as a trophy by the conqueror, and to the vanquished it is by no means a dishonor if bravely de fended. We have captured Hags on both sides, and were I a rebel genial having lost my flag in battle, I would want the officer who won it to respect it enough to keep it as an ewdonce of courage and prowess o:i l oth side?. Kept to show that it was not taken without a hard .struggle; without an honorable defense of it. To ask for it I would think it very weak in me in deed. And if the conquerer would not keep and preserve the flig, then return it to me and I would preserve it, though I had lot it. This rule will apply t0 both the federal and rebel cause. We should remember that these flags are only valuabhi to show the achievements made in our civil war and not to per petuutc the animosities of that dreadful hour, when brother was arraigned against brother Let them be pre served in honor of our courage and prowess, and not for tho purpose of keeping alive fceutio ial hatred. ! Peace. It is not safe for wives to leave their husbands this year in Oregon. for there seems to be a craze among the men for murdering wives that had left them. We think the principle mistake was made by the women in first having anything to do with such men. Almost every week we have to chronicle a wife murder. Faircliil ..Is' l id for tho Presidency is the weakest one ever mado. Like the old woman who sometimes thought she had religion, it seems impossible to tell the difference Jbet ween this overdose of 'patriotism" and the very worst of bad whiskey. It is s iid that tho Hon. Lafayette Grover is taking an active interest in politics again. Mr. Grover is om of the ablest of Democratic cheiftains and his return to public life would be for the good of the party and the success of the cause of the people, Salem is happy.
