The Day In Congress.
Washington, Dec. U. Chief interest
in tlio senate proceedings today centered
in the speech of Senator Morgan of Ala
bama, chairman of tho committee on
foreign affairs, on the.Dehring tea award.
Son-itorCaEfery, re-elected at tho ex
piration of a short term for a f'lll term of
Bix years, was sworn in.
Tho 13 rat bfll of the season to be passed
was one granting tho state of Pennsyl
vania permission to cccupy tho United
States' court rooms at Scranton and Wil
liamsurt during certain months.
Cullom gave noti.-e that ho would ad
dress the senate tomorrow on tho Monroo
doctrine
Among the bills introuueed was one by
Voorhees, of Indiana, granting a tension
of?200er mouth to the widow of the
late Secretary of Stato Grcsham.
In the House.
Washington, Dec. 9. A bill by Hop
kins of Illinois was passed to amend the
statute of fixing tho customs district of
Chicago so that the district would em-
braco all of the states of Illinois and In
diana. Hopkius explained that the bill
was in the interest of the smelters of
Aurora, who desired to be able to pay
duties on Canadian ores at tho port of
Chicago.
The oath of cilice was then adminis
tered to l'rice of Louisiana.
ally, it is said, point unmistakably to
further large withdrawals of gold, and
without something ia done to prevent
the usual heavy exports during January
and February, which for the last two
years have lorced tho issue of bonds to
recoup the depleted gold reserve, a simi
lar situation will confront the treasury
before the new year is far advanced.
The available cash balancein the treas
ury today, including the reserve, is ap
proximately $175,500,000, and as the
government has realized from its three
bond issues about $182,000,000, it ap
pears that but for theso issues tho gov
ernment would now be without ono dol
lar in the trpasury, and, in addition,
would have outstanding obligations
amounting to about $0,500,000. The ex
cess of exieuditures over receipts
amount to about $150,000,000.
The exports of gold during the last four
months have been $o5,706,000. So far
this calender year they amounted to
$95,000,800. In 1894 the exports
amounted to $101,819,924. From the
best informationable it is believed that
tho preeent month will show a surplus of
at least $1,000,000, which will leave the
deficit lor the fiscal year to January
about $15,000,000. It is expected that
this amount will not be materially in
creased during the remaining months of
the fiscal year.
The Oregon Fruit Union.
From a circular of the union we learn
that the union has shipped the past sea
son 2,127,558 pounds of green fruit,
which, after paying the expenses of
freight, boxes, commission, and in a
great many cases, packing charges, net
ted the growers 6 cents per pound.
That is a good showing for green fruit.
The total number of crates of dried
prunes shipped were 55,443 and 10,822
boxes, on a total of 1,345,500 pounds.
Tho largest amount of. prunes were
Italian. Of Silver prunes 2,079 boxes,
or 60,120 pounds and of Hungarian 132,
580 pounds were shipped. The Italians
netted 1J centa per pound, the Silver
Ji cents and the Hungarian cents
per pound. The French or Petite
prunes are reported as not profitable to
the shipper.

on
ment that Livingstone of Georgia, think
ing that congress should not be kept
waiting until Cleveland's return to be in
formed of the contents of Lord Salis
bury's reply, would introduce a resolu
tion calling upon Olney for the corres
pondence. As this would be rather an
unusual mode cf procedure, enveral influ
ential members, both republicans and
democrats, suggested to Livingstone that
such a resolution might be construed as
an act of discourtesy to the president.
If Livingstone finds this opinion general
be will abandon his intentions.
Glorious Oregon.
Prophets and the oldest inhabitants
seem to be at a loss concerning the
present winter. Some declare that it , is
to be mild and pleasant, others that it
is to be a severe one. But this we do
know, and can safely say, we are having
and have had this fall one of the
pleasantest that ever fell to the lot of
man to enjoy. Oregon is Oregon, and
there is no other region to compare
with it. If our winter in any degree
compares with our fall weather we will
have nothing to complain of. Of one
thing Oregonians are always assured
bounteous crops, genial climate, with
freedom from tornadoes and pestilence.
The people of Oregon today, notwith
standing the cry of hard times, are on
better circumstances than any people on
the Atlantic coast.

Douglas County Schools.
The public school system of Oregon is
one of the best in the United States.
That improvements may be made is not
denied, but as a whole it built upon and
patterned after those of other states
which, after due trial, have been found
most efficient. The educators at the
head of the educational department of
the state have been verv dilligent and
persenring in perfecting the syetem and
as a resnlt we have a system nearly per
fect. But while the eystem ia excellent
the work is overdone, which neutralizes
advantages by the practice
of "cramming." There are too many
studies crowded npon the minds of the
pupil at once. This evil may be reme
died by school officers and teachers. In
our public Ecbools there should be
dropped out of the curiculum several
studies and those lett be more thoroughly
taught. We find pupils advancing to
algebra for instance, who are not masters
of the arithmetic. Others take up ad
vanced studies and leave the primaries
before they are proficient in those they
leave behind. By this way they aro liko
the soldier's retreat ; they advance back
ward.
The fault is not so much in the sys
tem as in the manuur of execution. For
public school purposes there am nine
cases out of ten where the pupil can not
attend school lonu euough to become
proficient in all the branches provided
for, and as a consequence they leave
school with a little knowledge of many
things but perfect in none. Orthogra
pby, readiug, writing and the fundamen
tal principles of arithmetic and the prin
ciples of ordinary every day business
aro too much neiilecteu. lhey are
skimmed over and the pupil passed on
to those less essential. A higher educa
tion is good, but when that, from the na
ture cf circumstances, conuot be at'
tained it is better theso more essential
should be more thorough.

The Venezuelan Revolt.
itiv ouk, Uec. 9. A local paper
says :
From tho pott on the afternoon of
Sunday, December 1, sailed a filibuster
mg expedition whose aim is to take tho
government of cnezuela out of the
humid of President Crespo and to free
that country from tho financial und com
mercial distress which tho revolutionists
cl.iim have driven them and their coun
trymcn to desperation.
By this time General Domingo Mona
gues, tho leader of tho expedition, has
probably effected a landing. It is claimed
that his arrival is all that is needed to
put a formidable array in the field asainBt
tho president. Tho expedition led by
General Monagiies was plauneJ and car
ried out, thus far successfully, by promt
nent Venezuelans in this city and Brook
lyn. Neither the Venezuelan consul nor
tho minister at Washington knew any
thing of the plans to overthrow their gov
ernment. It is understood to bo the
greatest expedition of its kind that ever
Populist Doings.
The populist central committee met at
the Grange hall last Saturday with 20
members from the different precincts
present.
After listening to reports !from pre
cincts, the meeting directed that a com
mittee be appointed in each precinct to
circulate petition to county court, for
the appointment of populist representa
tion on election board.
Moved and carried that time for hold
ing county convention be fixed at next
quarterly meeting.
A resolution declaring that the popu
lists of Douglas countv are adherine
strictly to the principles of the Omaha
platform was adopted unanimous.
Meeting adjourned to meet on first
Saturday in March.
Probate Proceedings.
In the matter of the estate of John
Conway, deceased, MarthyA. Conway
way was appointed administratrix. The
probable value of said as estimated is
$1,500. Nels Rydell, John Hancock and
W. McKin were appointed appraisers
of said estate.
BRIEF MENTION.
the
It is hoped by almost every Oregonian
that Mr. Hermann mav get the chair
manship on the rivers and harbor com
mittee, on account of the advantage it
will be to our state, whether thev be
republicans or democrats. But the
chances are not the most ilattcring as
Grosvenor of Ohio has thelstrongest po
litical pull on the speaker, Keed. Ohio
has 21 congressmen while Oregon has
but 2, and as Reed is a candidate for the
presidency he may try to placate Ohio,
by putting Grosvenor at the head of the
committee. Ohio is pledged for McKin
ley which holds that state from Keed on
the first ballot, but after that who can
say where Ohio will go?
Kansas is escaping capital punishment
in a peculiar way. Under its law, which
has been on the statute books sinco it
was a stato, a man condemned to death
must serve ono year in the enitentiary
before tho execution, and then tho gov
ernor must make out a death warrant.
No governor has been willing to do this.
and in consequence thero aro now 4G
leii uiis port, carrying, as it does, enough murderers, condemned to death, con-
arms and ammunition to equip a whole fined in tho stale penitiary. Indian-
