CHAIRMANSHIP CONGRESSMAN.
Several of our contemporaries are spec
ulating on tlift next cooj;n??suiii. Sev
eral the wish being father to the
thought eeeni to think the failure of
-Mr. Ilcrinann'to Ret the chairmanship of
the rivers and harbors committee has
doomed him to be laid on the ehelf.
While the Plaindkalek was anxious
that Mr. Hermann would get the place, as
much, or perhaps ruorv, for the- benefit
of Oregon than for Mr. Hermann, we
.cannot see any good reason nhy he
should not receive the noaiiujtian for
congress all the same. Tiie failure to be
chairman of that committee cuts no
figure in the premises whatever. Drown
ing men will catch at straws, ami so in
this case his competitors for congress
are catching at this insignificant straw to
save them trom going down in the popu
lar, clamor for linger. It .is their lait
and only hope. - They tacitly acknow
ledge that Mr. Hermann would rewire
the nomination for congress if he etcurod
the chairmanship of the rivers and liar
bore committee, and now that he lias
failed in that his competitors are renew
ing their efforts o beat hiid in the coc
vection for congress on thit f ri vole us pre
text that he failed to be placed 'at She
head of that committee, Xousciimj If
you have no belter reason hy Mr. Her
mann should stand aside, you had better
soak your head for the simples.
The PiJMNDEaLEu is for Mr. Hermann
for two reasons: First, his long exjri
ence in congress has schooled him for the
TTork and his persistence and indefatiga
ble activit on the floor and before com
mittee and departments in the interest
of his state, entitle him to our support;
and second, Mr. Hermann is a citizen of
Southern Oregon and Is so well known
and esteemed throughout the district
that he is the most available man we
can nominate.
The time has coze for the I'nited
States to not only recognize Cuba's belig
erencr bat go a step farther and recog
nize her independence.
Congress means business. There is no
adjournment overtbe holidays as is the
usual custom.
THE CHRISTMAS BALL.
A Brilliant Gathering of Merry
Masqucraders.
The Christmas masquerade ball given
by the firemen Wednesday night in
Marks & Co.'s warehouse was a mott
brilliant and successful affair, both so
cially and financially. About 500 people
were present, one fourth of whom were
in costume. The hall was handsomely
decorated with flags and bunting, and
presented a cheerful appearance. The
Koteburg orchestra discoursed their
6weetest music, and "all went merry aj
a marriage bell." Many of the costumes
were both elegant and costly and the
committee on prizes were in a pickle,
but a decision had to bo made, which re
sulted as follows .

represented by Mre. Bessie Reaves and
Mis.-) Cora Place, who were arrayed in
charming and tastefully devised paper
costumes manufactured from the nows
pners nforcsnld, and attracted consider
able attention,
After the prizes were nwardod tho next
thing on tho progr un was the marriage,
which ceremony was informed by Judgo
Stearns in his most impressive style, the"
contracting parties being Miss Mary
I'arazooand Alox. Auhin. Congratula
tions were uext.in order and u grand rush
was mado towards the happy pair, alter
which tho dancing becamo general and
was kept up till n lite hour.
An elegunt supper, prepared by James
Callahan of tho Van Houton, was served
at 11 :30, and was well patronized by tho
dance rf.
The net receipts nro estimated at about
f7o.

Sabbath School.
Joy and merriment prevailed at tho
school house on Tuesday evening, where
a happy hand ol children, young people
ami old folks had assembled to partici
pate in Christmas 'exercises. The room
was beautifully and tastefully decorated
with evergreens and mottoep. A lovely
tree reaching from platform to celling
was loaded with gaily dressed dolls and
all sorts of pretty toys for the children,
while the platform beneath the tree was
filled with gifts ot China ciystal, books,
albums, baskets, toilet articles, Ac, Ac,
for the older ones.
the exercises opened with an its'.iu
mental march by Mr, Bennett with
violin and Miss Givens organ accompan
ies!. Mrs. Armitase then read from Ben
Hurr a description of the birth of Christ.
Mr. Cloake offered up prayer; Mi3
Jessie Givens sang, We have an Anchor;
Caisio Ferguson gave an excellent reci
tation; n clioru?, Tho new horn King,
was sung; l'earl North spoko a pretty
piece; Mr. Bennett and Miss Givens gave
another instrumental (-election; little
Annie Ferguson spoke very nicely; Sir.
Coake and daughter sang Silent Night ;
Miss Lizzie Givens sang "Joy, joy Christ
is I-orl." Amy Armitage recited.
A chorus, "Merry merry Christmas."
The members of the L. T. L. sang
"We'll never drink the wine."
In the mjdst of an instrumental piece
Old .Nulla Claus jumped on to the stage
to the great joy of the children and the
consternation of the musicians who
stopped playing "instanter." Old
anta was a decided success and kept
the audience in peals of laughter
throughout the whole time of distrib
uting presents. Nearly every one pres
ent received some token.
There were fully fifty dollar' worth of
present. Then rame the crowning
event of the evening for tbe little ones
the parsing of candies, nuts, raitins, pop
corn balb aud apples. There were
about sixty persons present who received
sacks of candy. Sixty sacks were also
sent (o members and patrons of trie Sun.
day school who were not present. A
yery pleasant feature of the evening was
when Mrs. Armitage announced to the
children that their teacher, Miss Abbie
I'arrott, had sent a generous package of
candies for them ; they, with one accord,
sent up a hearty applause for Miss Par
rot, showing how well they appreciated
this kind remembrance: After this
candy had been distributed, Mr. Ben
nett and Miss Givens rendered "When
the leaves begin to tern," and all were
disiniseed. By the looks of the exiling
faces and sounds ol joyous laughter as
they ja5ed Irom the m-rn, no one could
doubt all bad spent "A merry Xmas
eve." X.

rather Blow considering tho efforts made
to induco ehlistinentB. It appears that
tho females aro most inclined to battle
for God and his cause. One pious sister
felt "like dealing tho devil a blow wlieu
over she got n chanco." She would un
doubtedly give him a coup de grace if she
could; butalaa for female frailty. She
can only pummel him a bit and call on
deity to finish the work. Only two vol
unteers have been sworn into service so
far. Two moro are seriously consider

Christinas is a day revered by Chris
tians as the anniversary of the founder of
their faith, Jeeusot Bethlehem, a Gali
lean of Judca, born 1S05 years ago.
This day has become a legal holiday in
all Christian countries, n day in tho
United States termed in law as nonjudi
cial, the same as Sunday. On this day
all classes of society whether members of
the churches or not observe it as a day
of privileges. Some to worship, some
for revelry and tame for exchange of
civilities,- present-making or carousal,
according to their several tastes. There
is doubtless mote jolification, revelry and
carousing on this day tbau of genuine
worship.
Proverbial with its inane littleness and
its jealousy of the Plaindeaur's growing
popularity the Review tries to make it
appear that this journal is about to go in

THE DIFFERENCE.
TENNYSON could take a worthless

make it worth $05,000.
THAT'S GENIUS.
VANDERBILT can write a few words
on a sheet of paper and make it worth
5,000,000. THAT'S CAflTAL.
The UNITED STATES can take an
ounco and a quarter of gold, and stamp
upon it an "Eaule Bikd" and make it
worth f20. THAT'S MONEY.
A mechanic can tako material worth
$5, and make it into watch springs
worth $1000. THAT'S SKILL.
A merchant can take an article worth
75 cents and sell it for $1.50.
THAT'S BUSINESS.
A lady can purchase a 75 cent hat,
but she prefers ono that costs $25.
THAT'S FOOLISHNESS.
A laborer works ten hours a day (or
