TUESDAY, - - DECEMBEK 24, 1895
A NEEDED CHANGE.
One of tbe important subjects which
-will come before the consideration of
congress is a proposal to change the
time of the congressional elections in
order that so great a period will not
elapse between tbe time a congressman
is elected and the day .f taking hie seat.
The proposal is i ot by tiny means a new
one, as the matter has been much dis-
cussed among thu national legislators in
recent yearB. At tbe present eession it
is probable tbe question will be consid
ered with a view to some change being
made. Nothing can be eaid against tbe
proposed inovation, bnt the fact that
loug-continued custom has sanctioned
the other procedure. There are many
objections to tbe present manner of con
gressional elections. Members are
chosen who do not take their seats for
over a year from the time of their elec
tion. Hermann and Ellis, Oregon's
congressmen, have just begun terms for
which they were elected a year ago last
June. One of tbe chief reasons why
this length of time was given was to al
low a congressman to have a sufficient
period to arrange his private business
before assuming the duties of statecraft;
but in these days when every man who
goes to congress has either wanted or ex
pected to go for years ahead of the time
when he's chosen, the lack of time for
preparation works no hardship. When
a congressman has been defeated for re
election he still continues in office for
over a year, and if congressmen are like
ordinary men and they generally are
it is not to be expected that they will
work for their constituent's good as they
would had not a lack of confidence been
declared against them.
Congress would do well should it pass
a measure shortening the time between
a member's election and the taking of
bis oath.
THE FORMAL CALL.
The republican national committee
has issued its formal call for the assem
bling of tbe republican national conven
tion at St. Louis on the 16:h day of
June, 1896. The invitation is "to re
publican electors in tbe severr.1 states
and territories, and voters, without re
gard to past political affiliations, who
believe in republican principles and en
dorse the republican policy."'
The convention, on the usual appor
tionment, will consist 'of double the
number of senators and representatives,
with four delegates from each territory
and tbe District of Columbia in addition.
This will give a total of 824 delegates, of
whom ninety will be senatorial dele
gates, required to be chosen by popular
state conventions called on twenty days'
public notice, and not less thirty days
before the meeting of the national con
vention. Tbe state district delegates are
required to be chosen by the same
method as congressmen are nominated.
An alternate delegate, who is to act in
the absence of the national delegate, fs
also to be elected in the same manner.
This will make delegates and alternates,
a body of 1,648 men holding official re
lations to the convention.
Having become accustomed to bond
issues President Cleveland finds him
self nnable to do anything else when the
condition of the treasury becomes gre
vious. The republican members of the
house of representative? are ready with a
eolution to the problem which will cause
a betterment of tbe treasury's condition.
A bill will be introduced providing for a
tariff upon certain articles, chief among
which is wool. Should the bill pass the
house and the senate, as is probable,
President Cleveland will be in the pre
dicament of approving a measure con
trary to his own expressed belief, or
vetoing what the country needs and de
mands as a remedy. Tbe outcome will
be interesting.
The war clcud is passing, but the
United States government ehould lose
no time in making its army and navy in
keeping with its standing, in the council
of nations. Our coast defense should be
looked after, and notice given to the
world that to meddle with this nation
will be a dangerous experiment.
The stories about the moss growing in
tbe places of business people who do
-not advertise, are tiresome myths,
which have no weight because they have
no truth. " Aa a matter of fact, people
can do business, and many people do
carry on business for years without tbe
assistance of advertising. But there is
hardly a business, occupation of any
kind that cannot be helped by 'advertis
ing. This is the verdict of successful
business people everywhere. Ex. ".
- Tbe days of the tailor making tbe man
are past; its the newspaper that makes
the man nowadays.
FOLITICS AND BUSINESS.
Pendleton East Oregonian : An im
pression has )een sent out, and it is
undoubtedly correct, that Congressman
Ellis' campaign has been strengthened
during the past few weeks by the coal
escing of tbe anti-Dolph forces and their
enlistment in the support of Mr. Ellis.
Mr. Fulton has promised to support the
present incumbent and Mr. Wright of
Union, who was credited with congress
ional aspirations, has also come out into
the Ellis camp. While these men could,
perhaps, neither have won tbe republi
can nomination, vet each can add some
strength to Mr. Ellis or can take away
some support. It is not just clear
whether Joe Simon will fight him or
leave him alone. This is, of course,' on
account of Simon's dictatorship in Ore
von politic", an important element in
the campaign. He may not be able to
defeat him if he desires to, and in any
event, may leave to Eastern Oregon tbe
choice of congressman.
La Grande Chronicle: Close compe
tition in business is the indirect means
which attracts a great amount of trade
to La Grande. There never was a time
when goods were sold on such close mar
gins. Competition is the 1 f o of any
business. While it means smaller prof
its it also means a larger volume of
trade, and is thus of mutual advantage
to the tradesman and hia patrons. But
competition which goes to an extreme
and becomes "opposition," is really
benefiicial to no one, and tt.ere is scarce
ly one man out of a hundred who thinks
any more of a merchant for selling him
an article for lees than the merchant c.n
afford than he would think of him for
charging a fair and reasonable profit.

Any doctor will tell you
that Professor Hare, of
Jefferson Medical College,
Philadelphia, is one of the
highest authorities in the
world on the action of
drugs. In his last work,
speaking of the treatment
of scrofula, he says:
., . uaruiy necessary to state that cod-liver
oil is the best remedy of all. The oil should
te given in emulsion, so prepared as to be
palatable."
He also savS ihnt ihf
hypophosphites should be
comomeQ witn trie oil.
Scott's Emulsion of cod-
liver oil, withhypophos-
pmies, is precisely such a
preparation.
