NEEDED LEGISLATION.
.. The legislature of Oregon at its
sessiori next winter will be called
upon to . enact much needed legisla
tion. The failure of the preceding
legislature to do anything but wran
: gle over the election of a senator
and pass appropriation bills, has left
to its successor work in addition to
what naturally would belong to it.
. ' The abolishment of useless, money
wasting commissions will be among
the first duties of the session ; but of
equal importance, and more so from
the standpoint of patriotism, is the
, necessity of passing a registry law,
.rhich will complete the usefulness of
the Australian ballot , system and
raise . our elections to a plane of
: greater purity; making thern the ex
pression of the wish of an intelligent
v people.
. , The enactment of the Australian
- system was a great advance in ihe
direction of good government. In-
telligence is a necessary element in
the .process of voting, which was far
. from being the case nnder the old
procedure. Men who have dabbled
.. .in politics of the grosser sort have
seen the effects of this law in making
the vote of the ignorant uncertain,
iand thus lessening the amount of!
mcney . illegitimately spent at gen
eral elections. . Political ingenuity
has, however,-so disciplined by., or
ganization the ignorant voting class
that the influence of the politician
has to a greater or less extent been
made to extend to the voting booth, j
Especially is this so when, through
- the-lack of a legistration law, voters
- can be imported from outside places
and more than that, can be made to
vote several timer at the same elec
tion by appearing in different wards.
A law which would compel all voters
to be registered ten days or two
weeks . before election, would in a
measure put an end to the iniquitous
practice -of trading in votes.
This subject has already received
--sone agitation through the press of
the stale, and the sentiment isj
strongly expressed in favor of such
legislation. The Chronicle hastens
o join in the demand for a registry
'law, and feels safe in saying that the
members of the legislature from
Wasco county will be found work
ing to such an end. -
being developed at the expense of
its commercial interests. Many
business 'men are crying out that
there is a surfeit of' campaigning;
that the equilibrium of business
affairs is being too often disturbed
by the frequency of elections ; that ;
vital qnestions are settled after bitter
struggles only to be re-opened be
fore there has been time to realize
effects. ', -V, - v -
That there is merit in the query is
unquestioned. The : people of Ore
gon have just finished one exciting
political season and are already be
ginning upon another. During the
months between the nominating con
ventions and the election the atten
tion of thousands of our citizens
has been concentrated on other
objects than their business. Bitter
ness and strife have been created.
thousands of dollars have. been spent
in unlawful manner, and distrust
and dissatisfaction engendered where
before they did not.exist.
: On the other band, to change the
time of elections to dates wider
apart would be to, go against the
policy which,enacted by the founders
pf the government, has been kept in
view ever since; The sovereignty
of the people demands that frequent
opportunity be given for expression
of opinion, and to lessen the number
of elections would be a deprivation
of popular rights. Whether this
view obtain or not, no denial can be
made' that the nation is suffering now
from an allopathic dose of needless
agitation. Were politics made of
less account and more time given to
sober thought than now is spent in
vapid mouthings, the country would
be spared the advent of men like
Altgcld, Waite and Tillman, all of
whom are disorganizes in the most
virulent sense of the word.
TEE TRUE CAUSE.
NOW THEY SELL WOOL.
QUESTION TO BE DETERMINED
The American people are inclined
to politics naturally. Election day
is a time of exhileration to the aver
age citizen, and he casts his vote and
assists his neighbors in casting theirs
with feelings of , pleasure mixed with
pride. The returns are studied with
an avidity that betokens deep inter
est and are collated and compared,
" and the result predicted, with a skill
that shows careful training.
The campaigns which every four
years occupy the attention ; of the
nation are distinctive features' of
Ameripan civic life. The harangues
of the -spellbinders, the air resonant
with music, the gay flags and bunt
' ing, the tireless enthusiasm of the
' listening populace, all make .up a
scene that has changed but little
since the early history of the coun
try. Y' :: - , -v;
The arts of the politician are no
where greater developed than here.
The American politician is a" species
by, himself. To be successful in
- such a line of work requires certain
elements' of character ' which not
lofty in themselves, yet are above
.the common. A native shrewdness,
combined with indomnitable deter-
mination and a seeming inability to
realize defeat, 'make up the politi
cian of today. J r. v"; -' .
It is being seriously considered if
the politics of the country are not
-Here is the testimony which the
East Oregonian proffers as to the
successful results of the venture
which brought the wool scouring
mill to Pendleton. We wish we
could say the same, words : for The
Dalles:
Pendleton is the oalv point in the
state where any wool has been sold
so far this year. It seems that the
East Oregonian was right when it
declared the wool scouring mills to
be most important to Pendleton-and
made the fight to secure them in the
face ot the strongest kind of opposi
tion. Now those who opposed the
mills are reaping the benefits along
with others who favored them,, and
all is well. Earnest,, aggressive op
position is never t& be deplored in
anything.
. After hauling - wool to The Dalles
our sheepmen suddenly- became
aware that there is no sale for it
there any more " than here. -The
Dalles is not a wool market. After
it is hauled there it must be shipped
to market and very often no doubt
goes ; back over the 40. K. fc N.
through Grant, Arlington and " Pen
dleton.' If The Dalles people would
put in woolen mills then they might j
lay claim to furnishing a market for
wool, but under the present circum
stances all they can - claim is that
wool buyers can be found at The
Dalles to buy the wool, all of which
can be done, at Arlington. Here
after Glli'nm county sheepmen, as
well as those from eastern Klickitat
will haul their wool to Arlington nn
less The Dallas can make it more of
an object to haul to that city than
has been done this year. Ah open
river to the east, as well as to the
west, would do wonders toward mak
ing The Dalles a. market for wool.
At present they have no competing
transportation lines to the east, and
in that respect are no better off than
we are at Arlington. !
This from the Arlington Record is
amusing. Of course it is to be ex
pected that our neighboring city
would not look kindly upon the en
croachments made by The Dalles in
securing wool from territory for
merly controlled by other places, but
the raillinss of the Record show a
lack of perception of the real causes.
It is true little or no wool has been
sold in The Dalles thus far, and it is
possible none will be for some time.
The Boston markets are glutted with
foreign products to such an extent
that . the supply is far greater than
the demand. This is the direct re
sult of the Wilson bill, and . The
Dalles is no more to blame for it
than Arlington.

DB. DABBIN IN THE DAILES
Will Be Here Until the' 2nd
of July.
HE IS AN EMINENT SPECIALIST
Aside from the silver bolters ttieie
will be no sulking, in Republican
ranks. The nomination of McKin
ley meets with genuine enthusiasm,
and his name will be a talisman for
speakers to conjure- with during the
campaign. The American people will
be called upon to decide whether the
next four years shall be prosperous
or not; whether the markets of this
country shall be. presented to the
countries of the world with no rec
ompense in return, and whether the
currency shall be brought to a leTel
of debasement and corsequent dis
honesty. The November election is
a crisis in the welfare cf the nation.
Many issues will be settled this
campaign. Throughout the country
the question of maintaining a sound
currency and the reinactment of a
protective policy will be determined.
In Illinois . the people will be called
upon to choose between good gov.
ernment , and anarchism. The re
nomination of Altgeld was nothing
more , nor less than an indorsement
of his action in turning - the red
handed anaichists loose when the in
terests ot society demanded that
they be kept in close restraint. Alt
geld's defeat should be emphasized
in such a manner that the good name
of Illinois may be redeemed. ;
Ohio and Texas have sent'deiega
tions to strengthen the free silver
crowd at Chicago. Whitney will
have his hands full keeping under
control the Populistic tendencies of
the convention. Sad must be the
soul of Cleveland as he views the
extent to which the Democratic
party has swung away from his cher
ished teachings. '- . : -
When, however, the
open it will be found that the differ
ence in prices offered here and else
where" will contain a wide margin.
Last year wool sold in The Dalles
for twelve cents, when the best that
competing , points in the interior
eould offer was : nine. The same
condition relatively will ressit this
season as soon as any movement bc-
sins. The influence of The Dallas as a
wool center, however great it may
be, cannot counter.-ict the effects of
Dsmocntic legislation.-
One criticism or tae Kecom is,
however, clearly right. In connection-
with other advantages as a wool
center, Th Dalles should have a
woolen and scouring mill. 'Pendle
ton has stolen a march npon us- in
this regard, and is reaping a conse
quent advantage.
. The Record is wrong again when
it says we have no competing trans
portation lives to the east, aad in
this respeet are no better off than
ArSngtou. This is fallacious. The
Dalles, Portland and. Astoria Navi
gation Co. has brought to The Dalles
the- benefits of all the competing
transportation lines which center at
Portland. - ' The Northern Pacific,
the Southern, the Great Northern
and the Union Paeific, all ace com
peting factors for our business which
before the . institution of the boat
line was controlled alone by the last
named road.
If the price of wool is to be low
this year, all the more reason why
the growers should bring their prod
ucts to The Dalles and obtain the
higher figures which will be offered
here.
While the advantages possessed
by this point could be increased
through the establishment of a
woolen mill, yet without that insti
tution they are greater than those
possessed by any city in the North
west. "

An argument in favor of less fre
quent elections is found in the cost
of holding national conventions. It
is estimated N that the St. Louis and
Chicago meetings will cost in round
numbers $8,000,000. ! This would
go a long , ways towards the interest
on the Cleveland bonds. '. On the
other hand the spending of so large
an amount by people who presuma
bly are able to paj is of benefit in
giving employment to. thousands of
men and in putting into circulation
capital that might otherwise be dor
mant. -V'1' 1 "'" v ' , '"

- Weare plesseri to announce that there
is h physician In Tiic Dalies not simply
a medicar prictitioner.bnt a physician of
a very high order of merit, a scientist
one whose years of close etady, close ob
servation, close practical experience has
enabled him to draw not only testimon
ials but the highest personal indorse
ments from the leading men of the conn
try congressmen, judges, etc. -aa
whose success in the medical field is to
day without a parallel. We allude
Dr. Darrin, who has offices at the Uma
tilla House.
Dr. Darrin has an enviable rank in his
profession as a wonderfnliy . successful
physician. He is essentially original in
his method of practice, and those - who
haye been under his treatment are sur-
prised at the newness and novelty of bit
system of practice by electricity. His
honest and straightforward advice before
taking a case has won for him the confi
dence of his patients as wH aa the gen
eral public. The doctor is a gentlemen
of genial social nature, and his private
practice is marked by the formation of
a persona! friendship with those with
wbom be comes in professional contact.
He is without doubt one of the moat
thoroughly qualified physicians now be
fore the public, aa his wonderful cares
can testify. ." ' .

. I waa a sufferer for eight years from that
most distressing of aU diseases,. Eczema, but
can now say truthfully that 1 am entirely
cured. I tried some of the best physicians
in the country, but they did w little good.
The palms of ray hands were covered, and
-would become inflamed : little white blisters
at nidt would appear, then tkey would peel
off, leaving a red, smooth surface which would
buralUte tire and itch; well, there is no name
for it. On the inside of the upper part of
botbmy limbs, great red blotches not unlike
hire would appear, and as soon as I became
warm, the burning and itching would bepin.K
Night after night I would tie awake all night
and scratch, and almost go wild. I heard of
CoTiorav remedies, got a box of Cuticuba
(ointment), a bottle of CimouiiA RtsoLVEier

trial, and after a few applications I cotict-il

a moment in recommending ronr remedies.
