At th last session of the legiskv ture the May law was passed, and Its provisions -will be complied 'with by at least tb Democratic atate conven tion. The law specifies that candidates lor the United States senate shall cause their names to be placed before the respective poUUoal gatherings, ao an expression from the delegates can be secured. Of course, if the conven tion aelecta a man senate, Ua action would unquestionably have great Influence with members of the legislature. . The law is Jong stride in the di rection of election of senators by di rect vote of the people. Jt was fram ed to do away wit the undue influ ence that are thrown around mem bers of the legislature, who agree to support a certain nan m consideration of concessions in the way of lega tion. "Support my candidate for the senate, and I'll throw my influence for your bill," la a remark frequently heard at legislative gatherings. This is a mild form of bribery, and any effort to discountenance it should be encouraged. ' It Is Interesting in this connection ,'to note that the state of Oregon was required to appropriate fully $MO,00 more at the last session of the legis lature than would have been appro priated - had an election not been on. Senatorial influences caused the squan dering of this amount of money. The Weston school, for instance, received $50,000 that would never have been ap propriated were It not for the fact that a United States senator was to be chosen, and $150,000 more was thrown away in this manner. It's an well enough for politicians lo spend their own, money in the in terests of certain candidates, but when It comes to spending the public funds for such purposes the people may consistently register vigorous com plaint. The Mays law is intended to obliterate this disreputable practice, and it is to be hoped both political gatherings will take steps to further the purposes of the bill. UNIFORM DIVORCE LAWS. 'think the slightest consideration of the Sonator Cullom.of Illinois, has pre-jy of thege cases would show the sensed a petition to the senate ask- j injustice to the letter carriers and lng that .the Commissioner of Labor , pass the bill. I think I am not de be authorised to compile safeties ot ln '"f t .... '-vrtthout any recommendation from the marriage and divorce. The petition commUtee, lf the wu were was signed by several of the most in- taken up i the house it would pass fluentall men of the State of Illinois, jby a practically unanimous vote. The ultimate purpose of the petition There are a good many unjustifiable is to obtain the enactment of uniform attempts now pending before congress marriage and divorce laws throughout ' to rake the treasury in the Interests tbe United Staites. The presentation jot undeserving ealary grabbers, but of this petition is doubtless prelimln-. this is not one of them. The letter ary to the introduction of a bill pro- 'carriers merit a better treatment and vlding for the submission of anja higher pay than they are now re amendment to the federal constitution j ceivlng. Their work is one of high authorizing congress to enact laws for ; responsibility and the service required the regulation of marriage and di- vorce. iunaer me consuiuuun bb jijiigui mc ouuuiu io hj. "r.wraa "tiT" riven no such! The cordial approval of the Smith power. The tenth amendment declares that J'the powers not delegated te the United States by the constitution, nor prohibited by tt to the state, are reversed to the states respectively, or to the people.". Consequently, an amendment 1 to the constitution au thorizing congress to take the regula tion Of marriage and divorce under national jurisdiction Is a necessary condition to any federal action to se cure uniform marriage and divorce laws; I . : 1 1; ;);' An amendment of the nature pro posed will encounter opposition from two sources. First, the , objection of atate to the surrender of any new powers to the national government must be overcome. Second, will be considered the improbability of an agreement by both houses of congress on 'bill providing for a divorce law to be valid In all iW:,,WhUe there la practical unanimity of opin ion as to the necessity for uniform marriage and divorce' laws, there Is much difference In opinion at to what should institute cause for divorce The amendment giving ;. the national government' lurlsdictlott over tnarrU age and divorce Would Ise without f. feet until congwas should agree upon a bill. There Is another method by which the name purpose may be accomplish ed. A movement like that started In Chicago might result (n a carefully considered bill to be submitted to the legislatures of the several states. An objection to this method is that until til the state legislatures acted favor ably upon the bill there would be no uniform marriage and divorce law. But It Is probable that a Mil could be drafted which the legislatures of a considerable, majority of the states would accent Certain of the states might hold out for the time, but by decrees divorces procured In such states would fall into disrepute. Un der our present freedom to enact ll vorce laws, one atate after another has become convinced that easy di vorce laws confer upon states that enact such laws unenviable distinc tion. Excepting the comparatively few persons who regard marriage as a means to selfish end. ate persona who resort to divorce courts desire a divorce that shall be legal in all Che atate. While the states that agree upon a uniform law would not have the power to declare divorces pro cured in states illegal, they might make the social standing of such di vorced persons questionable. THE LETTER CARRIER BILL. Boards of trade, chambers of com merce, banks, manufacturing estab lishments and business men of all sections of the union are said to have sent petitions to congress urging the passage of the bill to classify and in crease the pay of letter carriers. As to the press of the country. It has been well nigh unanimous in approv ing the measure, so that the advocates of the bill in congress hive bad no lack of support in their efforts to do this amount of Justice to one of the hardest worked branches of the pub lic service. Representative Smith, of Michigan, who Introduced the bill has recently declared himself well assured of Its favorable consideration by the com mittee and by both the house and sen ate.' Speaking of its objects be said: The letter carrier starts tn under the present law at tm aVear, having served previously sometimes from three to four years as a substitute be fore he is put on regularly. At the end of four years, after he becomes a regular carrier, he can get J1000 a year. As a rule we pay colored mes sengers in the departments better than we do the letter carriers. The bill I have Introduced increases the carrier's maximum pay to $1200 a year, and I think It Is little enough. A man or .woman can be appointed to a clerkship in the departments at $720 to $900 a year, and in two or three years, with a little political in fluence, get up to $1600 or 11800. The letter carrier must serve anywhere from six to eight years before he can get $1000. and that is the maximum. I ,is exacting and toilsome. It is but bilt which has been given by the busi ness men of the country is a proof of public recognition of the claims of Uhe carriers and of the rightfulness of the purposed Increase of pay. It Is to be hoped, therefore, it will be enacted at this session. ' ' The Portland Dispatch is authority for the statement that John H.

It is scarcely believable that a woman, tufferinft past all telling, cau attend to business, and bend and stoop with a back Whose ache is agony. And beyond all this she smile as she bends and stoops about her customer. A man might swallow down an oath or keep back a groan, but his face would be like a thundercloud, and bis voice scarcely disguise hia irritation. For women who suffer from backache, bearing-down pains, or other pains due to womanly diseases, there is no other med icine equal to Dr. Pierce s Favorite Pre scription. It regulates the womanly functions, dries weakening drains, heals inflammation and ulceration and cures female weakness. , There is no alcohol in "Favorite Pre scription" and it is entirely free from opium, cocaine and all other narcotics.
