Kditou: I nm in favor of holding elections in tho stato of Oregon ovory six months. I advocate semi-annual elections not as much for tho bene fit and promotion of stato a flairs as for tho religious and moral good to bo derived therefrom. I have been a modcrato drinker for thirty years nnd for tho last eoventeen years I have enjoyed the unenviable epi thet of habitual drunkard. I have an uucontrolable appetite for strong drink and have tried ovory antidote that I over heard of, not excepting tho "Sure Cures," for tho drinking habit, ndvortisod by retired minis ters of Now York nnd ebewhere, nnd have nover received the slight est benefit from anything which I hnvo ever taken. Tho piteous wails of my hoart-brokeu wife and thu cries of my children for bread has never yet moved mo to tears. Tho exhortations of friomh hns caused mo to swear oil", but to no purtoso. It kouis that nothing could check me in mv mad career. A short timo since howevor, n great chango came over mo in a vory Bud den manner, I was taken with a distaste for poor whisky. 1 hoard of the June elections, and after a few hours of serious contemplation nbont my opjwtuniticB in tho com ing campaign, I thought I would tuko n religious drink. I stopped behind tho door for that purpose, and to my great surprise could not oven tolerate the smell of the vile sluir, strange as it is it is true stranger still this transformation this metamorphosis of taste nnd ap K)tite, when I tell you that this al most miraculous chango is biennial in its nature. I have had these pe culiar exj)ertenccs several times lie fore about the first of January ev ery second year, live or six months before tho election. Unexpected and unlooked for this wonderful change came over mo. I cannot explain tho philosophy, tho mode or tho method by which this striking change takes place. Kxplanatious nro not in order in these trusty times; assertion is all that is re quired, Header you must not ex pect tho why and wherefore; it is stillicient to know that such is the cITcct of the music mnde by the x litieal bee when bis mystic Mutter is heard close behind tho aspirant's o ir. Anyhow such is tho caso with me. Tho more I consider my chan ces for ollico in tho coming election, the more disgusted I become with tho smell of bad whisky. I have recited these exK;riencc8 of mine to n great many men to several of my associates a few days since who liko myself, hnvo reformed within tho past month, and 1 havo yet to meet the lirst man who will acknowledge that tho opportunity fur ollico next Juno had anything to do with his reformation. 1 inquir ed what was the cause of their un expected reform. Thoy all said that it was the religious influence with which they hnd boon surround ed of late, together with tho iorsua- sions of early piety rising up from tho deep recesses of their inner be ing, the voice of eoiucicnco asking to lio heard. .Mr. editor this talk about religious influences is not genuine, is not materia), I havo ob served that all tlio bovs with whom I nssoeiato reform about the same time that I do. I notice that about the timo that I take a distaste for bad whisky religion catches thorn, and us this always hiipKnu about five or Bix months before tho elec tions, I shall insist upon changing tho time of voting from once in two years to every six months. I think that nny man of ordinary intelli gence can too nt a glance that this plan would of necessity keep tlio hoys sober all tho time, I think that it is tho remedy for intemper ance par excollent. i ins idea is original. My political admirers say that it is a bright thought. 1 feel (piite certain that I shall bo nblu to ride into ollico uixm mv new proito- sition. I hone vou will give this a place in your valuable pitiwr at your carlifst convenience, as I am quite anxious to get this thought before tho jteoplo as early in tho campaign ns possible as it is my in tention to come out for joint senator; what tho other bovs hnvo thoir pi ous hearts sot ujion I do not know; I know that nono of tlio boys can IKissibly detest bail whisky is much as I do, therefore I think I am on- titled to tho first place on thu tick et. I do not consider it expedient to let my name ho known so long before the conventions meet, but think it will he tho wiser plan to take the conventions by Biirpriso, besides I do not wish to be inter viewed by tho ninny rojwrtors until tho blush on the end of my nose fades just n little.

Un. Grant Co. Ni:ws: It is stated to-day tunt President Ilnrrison has oflbro'd Secretary No ble tlio place on tho circuit bench in the south west, left vecnut by tho elevation of Judge Hrewer, of Kim sas, to tho supreme court. Secreta ry Noble is said to havo taken tho matter under advisement but his friends beliovo that ho will not ac cept. Nothing bus seemingly trans pired in the last few months to mako his Kisition in thu cabinet less agreeable than it was last summer, when it is well known that ho could have had the position afterwards given .luiigo lirower, and it is thought hardly likely thnt he would now desire a much inferior position. Besides Secretary Noble has high H)liticnl ambition, dreams of tlio Senate and even of thu Vice-l'rosi-dency, and a judgeship would mean the surrender of these desires. Tho House of Representatives has hnd had luck with its rending clerks. Clerk McPhcmon tested tho candidates bnforo the men were selected, but unfortunately ho only tried them on Washington's Fare well Address, in print. Now it do velopes that tho best man of tho lot, so far as vocal jiowcrs go, hav ing a voL'O that could be huaro all over a tailor factory, cannot road manuscript. He gets a tuck at ev ery eight or tenth word and there is a painful pause. The member who has offered tho rorolutiou groans, for the sense of tho docu ment is ontiroler lost upon the members by the haulting and piece menl rending. Tho other day Hop resentativo Allen pronounced him the flnist reader of periods in tho world. Martin Maginnis, onuof thu Dem ocratic Sonntors elect from Monta na, occupied a seat uton the floor of tho Senate yesterday. The other domocrntio senator-oleet, million aire Clark, is still in thu city, and the republican senators-oled aro ex pected to arrive this week. Tho senate committees will commence tho hearing nf the caso next Satur day. It is believed thnt neither the ropublienns or tho domooratn will he sealed. Tho republicans' commissions are signed by (he sec retary of Stato, while those of the democrats hear tho autograph of the governor. Nono of these sots of credentials, thonfore, ato i i legal form, and on this technicality, un less tho republicans can discover i some ingenious basis for adding two to their majority, thoro will bo a halt. In such an event tho creden tials would likely ho returned with tho opinion thnt no election for sen ators from thai stato had been for mally completed. In stub nu event (lovornor Toolo will nppoint two senators to hold until tho legislator meets. The republicans would be quite well satisfied nith sr.uh a plan, as they say that thoro is no doubt that tho legislature to be elected next summer will bine a working republican majority. I'oor Maginnis, it will be hard on him. During the twelve years ho spent ' in congress, popping champago nnd , up to (late in all tho enjoyments of) 1 1 10 town, urn oui unto ciiums in Montana were turning thcuuclvcs into milliouairs. To-day, hand some Maginnis is the njor man of tho crowd, and to be compelled now to go back to Montana or to sink into the rut of hard work some where else, would not bo an invit ing prospect.
