John Day, Dec. I I, S'J.
HnrroH Nkws:
In a late issue of your paper you
very magnanimously suggest the
propriety of one or both of the great
parties giving the nomination for
joint senator of Morrow, Grant, and
Harney counties, to somo citizun of
Harney county, and give as one of
the reasons for such action, that
Grant county had tho senator in
the last legislature. This item has
been copied by a number ol papers
throughout Konstorn Oregon, and
also hy the Daily Orogonian. As j
no one, so far as I know, haa pub-,
licly expressed any contrary opin-1
ion, it would appear to bo tho sen-1
timont of the community in which
it originated, and yet I am porsuad-1
ed such is not tho fact. It is true
the senator in tho legislature of I
1S.SS), hailed from Grant county,
but that county at tho timo tho (
election took place was one sonalo- !
rial district, and the senator had
to bo elected from among its citi
zens. It is also true that that sen
ator labored as best he know, to
legislate himself out of Grant coun
ty, while tho representative who
hailed form tho territory now con
stituting Harney county, and who
owed his election, not to the people
of Harney county, hut to tho north
ern portion of Grant county, suc
ceeded through combinations with
the supporters of Portland's Water
bills, in legislating himself out. No
ono in Grant county would havo
complained of tho creation of Har
ney county, except perhaps a fow
ollico-holders, whoso revenue was
considerably dimiui'hud hy that
Act, had the bill been a fair ouo to
both sections, or if tho lines had
been established at the point desig
nated by the Johnson bill two years
before. Hut the bill presented and
passed was so manifestly unjust to j
northern Grant that tho people i
tliero concluded that Grant county
was not represented nt all in either
branch of tho legislature, as it
would havo boon an easy matter
for the senator to havo it amended
when it reached tho senate. Tho
senator and representative elected
to represent tho peoplo of Grant
county, in thuir zeal for secession
and division overlooked and neg
lected all other matters of interest
to their constituents, and I may bo
pardoned in occupying bo much of
your valuable space, by referring
simply to ono matter of interest to
almost every citizen of the county.
The terms of our circuit court were
changed from the second Monday
in April and the first Monthly in
November, to the first Monday in
March and tho first Monday in
September of each year respective
ly. Tho former arrangement was ,
by tar tho most suitable and con
venient for tho people, of Grant
county, and I think it vory doubt
ful, if tho sheriff during some sen
tons would succeed in reaching cer
tain precincts to servo process for
tho March term, or if peoplo duly
served, would ho able to reach tho
county sent nt that senson of tho
year. Not a word of objection was
raised by tho Hon. senator or rep
resentative to tho passage of tins
iiiqiortant change when under con
sideration by tho legislature. As a
citizen of Grant county, I boliovo
tho joint senator for Morrow, Grant
nnd Harney counties should hail
from Grant county, anil I know
thoro is plenty of material within
its limits fully as competent as any
that can ho produced hy cither of
the othur countios.
Yours, lite.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Wasiii.vcjton, Doo. 12, 'SO.
Ki. GiiA.vr Co. Nkws:
A rwtlly complete concensus of
the opinion of mombors of tho
House and Senate us to the Presi
dent's message is of course impoMi
ble to seeute. The majority hnvo
no definite opinion to give. A fow
Southern democrats express thoir
opinion of his lomarks on ballot
box frauds against (ho negro in
rather picturesque language, but
that is about all. Tho message is
an unusually long one, but this is
tho fault of necessity, as the mani
fold interests of tho government
broaden with every year, nnd it is
tho duty of the president to "givo
tho congress information of the
states of tho Union." Viewed from
a literary standpoint the document
is much inferior to such polished ef
fort as President Cleveland's lalor
od ufibrts, full of strange words and
German mysticisms. Hut while
tho language is commonplace it is
also business like and there thoro is
no straining for effect. President
Harrison is not the man to lie
awake nights trying to think up
some expression that shall tickle
tho ear of the groundlings. Per
haps, unliko Hencouhfield, hu does
not believe that "the world is gov
erned by words and not by ideas."
The president's position on tho
colored franchise in tho South, on
tho civil service and on the silver
coinage, will meet with most oppo
sition. On the tariff and tho stir
plus question he adheres clearly to
the declaration of his party. As to
pensions thero is no doubt of his
liberality, nnd his wish that no Un
ion soldier should ever bo allowed
to die in a poor house, will meet it
hearty response. The president is
opposed to freo coinage of silver and
doubts the wisdom of any consider
able increase of tho present rate of
coinage. In other words while ho
likes silver he is not, in the beauti
ful langungo of the street, "stuck"
on it.
The nomination of David J.
It re we r of Kansas, to succeed the
late Stanley Mathews on the su
preme bench was a gnat surprise,
having only been rumored about
twenty-foil'" hours beforo it was act
ually made. The uoininutiou was
due largely to tho inlluoneo of Sen
ator Plumb. In view of Judge
Hrewer's lack of party record fur
ther than having always been it
consistent and persistent office hol
der, it is likely that his nomination
will be less' popular than would
havo boon that of certain other
prominent candidates for the posi
tion. Judge Hrewer is tho son nf a
missionary, being born in Smyrna,
Asia-Minor. He was educated in
this country, lie is connected with
several prominent American fami
lies. He is a nephew of Justii
Field's and it will bo tho first time
in tho history of the country when
two men so closely allied havo sat
upon the bench together. Judge
Hrewer is a victim of asthma and
tho moist climate of Washington
will bo the grealebt draw-back to
his new home.
The Senate adhered to the lime
honored plan of the drawing of lots
as to which of tho Senators from
the now states should ho designated
for the short terms and which for
the long. Prior to tho adoption of
the motion Mr. Collum presented a
certificate from tho two houses of
North Dakota, designating Mr.
Pierco as the long term senator.
Tho Senate hold that the legisla
ture, under tho constitution, had
nothing to do with the matter. Mr.
Pierce proved as unlucky in tho
casting of lots as ho wan beforo tho
senate, for Mr. Casoy, his colleague,
was tho lucky man who received
the long term.
'fho House, though only occupi
ed by a score of people, looked like
a mysterious school rojiii last night.
Mr. McPherson, tho newly elected
clerk, was testing tho fourteen gen
tlemen who appear as cnudidati'H
for the two positions of reading
clerks f the House. ICailt man
was given ten minutes hearing.
The reading was Washington's
farewell address, being selected by
Mr. McPherson as an especially
difficult composition. It was given
in every stylo from tho business
rntlle of a roll call to a sing song,
and from cast iron delivery to the
most ambitious manner. The sala
ry of reading clerk is J.'l.CiUO per
annum and tho plum therefore
worth trying for. The trial of last
evening was not conclusive, howev
er, and several of tho best readeis
will hu given a chance before the
House to-day. If tho trial proved
anything, it'proved Iho scarcity of
gout I readers.
Some of tho readers perished up
on the shoals of hesitation, while
several bhowed the part of the
country they were from by amazing
provincialisms; while still others
merely nlteuiptod to roar. The
last was a great defect, inasmuch
as a sharp, metallic voice is requir
ed in tho House in order to ho
hoard above tho din of conversation:
A voico of groat volume nu'ght

AFFLICTED KIKTY YEARS.
And Restored to Health by ElectrfcL
ty, Tlitouch Dr. Daritn's Pecu
liar Mode of Treatment.
Orrgtmlin.
Mr. Kdilor: During tho past
two yeftrs I hnvo been reading in
the Oregoninn of tho wonderful
cures iwrfurmcd by Drs. Darrin,
with their Klivtro Magnelie Treat
ment. I boenmo very much inter
ested in them, as I hid been sorely
alllictcd at intervals during tho
pnst fifty yenrs, with neuralgia of
the slotiinch, liver and kidney com
plaint and nervous tlysKpsia, and
at times so depressed that it was
almost unbearable and ltordcring
on insanity. During nil them' years
1 have consulted innny physicians
nml taken their prescriptions, but
none that seemed to do m any
good, nnd last spring having it bil
ious attack which nggrnvntod my
old troubles, I began to run down
and lose vitality, I resolved to try
Drs. Dnrriu's system of treatment.
I applied to them, nnd after a thor
ough examination, said they could
make me a well, but not :i young
man of mo, with six months oourso
of troatmenl, which 1 ncccplod. I
commenced to improve immediate
ly, ami now acknowledge their suc
cosh in fulfilling their contract, nnd
will say that for the past two
months I havo enjoyed pur foot
health, and sincerely wish to ren
der my gratitude to the Giver of all
good nnd to His agents who hnvo
curotl mo of my ntllulioiis by thoir
peculiar treatment, and willingly
recommend all who aro alllictcd to
call on the doctors and bo healed
nnd give them a thorough trial be
fore crying humbug. 1 am a home
steader, mid can be referred to nt
Woods, Tillnmook county, Oregon.

Tho uliove remarkable cure is an
other proof of Dr. Dnrriu's power
ovor disease. Mr. Chamberlain is it
mult well known throughout the
county and Slate, and one whoso
word can lw relied on. The appli
cation of electricity to nomly all
forms of disease is certainly revolu
tionizing tho proiticu of medicine.
We can with all candor recommend
Dr. D.trrin to the alllieted.
