A NEEDED MEASURE.
Representative Ellis baa introduced
into the house of representatives a bill
for the relief of the settler upoa our
western lands. The measure is emi
nently a luat one, and should receive
the favorable consideration of congress
at an early date. As c in be seen from a
perusal of t1 e I. ill, the two vital points
. - are, first, that actual reeidence shall not
be required in order to obtain a patent;
and secondly, that tracts of land not
contiguous may be purchased, provided
they do not exceed 320 acres in the ag
gregate. Both these provisions are
equitacie, and Mr. tuiie will comer a
substantial benefit upon intending pur
chasers of railroad forfeiture lands
should he succeed in having his bill be-
t come a law. The text is as follows :
Beit enacted by the Senate and House
of Representatives of the United States of
America in Congress assembled, That,
"An act to amend an act entitled 'An
act to forfeit certain lands heretofore
granted for the purpose of aiding in the
construction of railroads, and for other
purpose,' approved September twenty
ninth, eighteen hundred and ninety
three, and the several acts amendatory
thereof," approved December twelfth,
eighteen bundredand ninety-three, be,
and the same is hereby, amended so as
to read as follows: That section three
of an act entitled 'An act to forfeit cer
tain lands heretofore granted for the
purpose of aiding in the construction of
railroads, and for other purpoeee,' ap
proved September twenty-ninth, eight
een hundred and ninety, and the sev
eral acts amendatory "thereof, be, and
. the same is, amended 60 as to extend
the time within which persons entitled
to purchase lands forfeited by said act
shall be permitted to purchase the same
in the quantities and upon the terms
provided in said section, at any time
prior to January first, eighteen hundred
and ninety-Eeven ; Provided That actual
residence upon the lands by persons
claiming the right to purchase the same
shall not be required where such lands
have been fenced, cultivated or other
wise improved by Euch claimants, and
such persons Bhall be permitted to pur
chase two or more tracts of such lands
by legal subdivision, whether contigu
ous or not, but not to exceed three
hundred and twenty acres in the aggre
gate ; and provided further, That noth
ing herein contained shall be so con
strued as lo interfere with any adverse
claim that may have attached to the
lands, or any part thereof, prior to the
settlement, cultivation or improvement
. made by the person seeking to purchase.
The house of representatives acted
promptly upon the revenue bill pre
pared by' the ways and means commit
tee. Upon a strict party vote, with two
exceptions, the bill passed by a vote of
205"to 81. CTpon the subject of wool,
which is the important one to the peo
ple of Eastern Oregon, the bill is in line
with the wishes of wool-growers, and
restores sixty per cent of the McKinley
rates on wool and woolens. By their
,- rroaipt action the Republicans have
shown themselves ready and wilhng to
act for the country's good, and the effect
of the emergency bill will be to restore
confidence throughout the country. The
present bill is a good forerunner of the
one which will pass when the Republi
cans are again placed in control of the
government, which thej Democrats have
- so terribly mismanaged.
The ways and means committee
strikes at tfce root of the matter when
it says that it "regarda the chronic defi
ciency of revenue for the past two yeare
and half as a potent cause of the difficul
ties which the treasury has encountered ;
. a-a important factor in the creation and
. promotion of the serious distrust whih
has paralyzed business and dangerously
shaken "confidence, even in the financial
operations of the government." The lan
goaga Is strong, but it could bo made
stronger. The lack of revenue caused
4 by a democratic tariff reduction has
been the destroying disease from which
" the country has suffered, and nothing
but a return to the tariff conditions that
existed just prior to 1892 can be of per
manent benefit: -
If the dispatdhes can be believed, the
Cuban insurgents have Havana almost
within their grasp. The success of the
revolutionary party has been greater
than even its leaders anticipated, and
challenges anew" the admiration of the
world. Spain is about to lose another
of her western prizes and Cuba will be
knocking for admission to the circle of
American republics.
The safe arrival of the steamer Strath
nevis at Port Townsend is almost a mir
aculous deliverance from the sea. The
announcement of her arrival will relieve
the tension of shipping people on- the
coast, who bad given the steamer up for
lost. The anxiety is transferred to the
Miowera, which it is possible, found de
struction in an attempt to save the
Strahnevis.
The curious anomaly exists in con
gress of the Republicans assisting in car
rying out the- president's suggestions,
while the effort is being bitterly op
posed by the Democrats. Cleveland has
very little in common with his party
anyhow, except lone association.
LITERARY NOTES.
The January Foium, among many
other interesting features, will contain
an article by Col. Carroll D. Wright,
superintendent ot the Census, on "The
Federal Census;" an article by Mr.
William Ordway Partridge, the sculptor,
entitled "The Development of Sculpture
in America," and a paper by Mr. James
H. Penningham of Philadelphia on the
"Criminal Crowding of Pnbhc Schools."
The first edition of the Januarv Mc
Clure's is 300,000 copies an increase of
170,000 in three months. It is easy to
understand tnese great strides in circu
lation when one has read, in this num
ber, the remarkable story of Lincoln as
the manager of Denton Offatt's sawmill
and country store at New Salem, the
victorious wrestler against the champion
of Clary's Grove, the student, between
whiles, of Kirkbam's grammar, a candi
date for the legislature, and a captain of
raw recruits in tne iilack Hawk war;
and when one has inspected the twenty
five pictures which help to vivify this
most engaging chapter of Lincoln his
tory. We have been advised heretofore
that the history of Lincoln's early years
was lost. This can be said no more;
for Miss Tarbell has recovered it for Mc
C'.ure's down to its smallest detail.
A. E. Kilpatrick, of Fillmore, Cal.,
had the misfortune to have his leg
caught between a cart and a stoue and
badly bruised. Ordinarily he would
have been laid up for two or three weeks,
but says: "After using one bottle of
Chamberlain's Pain Balm I began to
feel better, and in three days was entire
ly well. The peculiar soothing qualities
which Chamberlain's Pain Balm po
scsses I have never noticed in any other
liniment. I take pleasure in recom
mending it." This liniment is also of
great value for rheumatism and lame
back. For sale by Btakeley & Houghton,

your child
You note the difference in
children. Some have nearly
every ailment, even with
the best of care. Others far
more exposed pass through
unharmed. Weak children
will have continuous colds
in winter, poor digestion in
summer. They are with
out power to resist disease,
they have no reserve
strength. Scott's Emulsion
of cod-liver oil, with hypo
phosphites, is cod-liver oil
partly digested and adapted
to the weaker digestions of
children.
