Inangnration Day.
8pecial 'Corresimndcnce.
Wahhwoton, Dec, 25. Several
lacbrvuioe concreBsiuen have been
BtMjddirjs tears in the presence of
Toar' coiwponUent vdverThe sad
fatethat ent the bitner to leeis-
Jate for the pitiful sum of $5000 a
year, mileage and stationery. .Some
of theui say it costs them more to
get the nomination 'and the elec
tion than their two years' salary
amounts to, and yet others picture
in diimal colors the expenses of a
Washington lite, and add with a
sigh that if tney were not strictly
honeBt they could make a pretty
plum or two every session, but
they do not.
Well, these are congressmen and
congressmen. Some there be
whose election expenses are all
paid tor by the inteiests that send
them to congress to look out for
particular measures, and these
honorable gentlemen, pretty well
known, not only never pay a cent
ot their own to campaign collectors,
but are given pleut of money to
spend while they are here. I hen
tnere is the statesman like Carlisle,
Randall or Morrill, who does not
have to pun-hase either nomina
tion or election, and such men live
quietly and in ar unostentatious
M-ay, managing just t spend their
saiai'n g.
But there are many congressmen
who live in Small quarters here
and manage to save up quite a
hiiuii sum out of their salaries and
perquisites for a rainy day. Not so
very long ago 1 heard of one
congressman (a gentleman "Alio
was such a scrupulous guardian
of the public tieasure that
ne would not let the accustomed
resolution lor extra pay lor
capilol employes get through the
house) who saved up each year
ueaily the nolecl his btationery
allowance. In fact, to far as his
constituents were concerned, he
never wasted a w oill in a
vear communicating with theiu.
Well, this gentleman has become
a tull-liedged senator of the United
States, and as such has been al
lowed it ulfei Jt-at fclUOtf 'pur usnco
to attend to : his fit) a year
correspondence. This thing war
too good to let out of the family, mo
the honorable senator employed a
lady of his family to write his lev
U rs and draw the salary.
After all members of emigres
sti e like other folks, ii they at
tend to their business, as a great
many of them do, meir time i.-
fully occupied, and the sum paid
them is entirely too small, fcu- h
men as Cox, Cannon, Carlisle,
Randall, Breckeniidgu and Mills
do work that should command
much higher pay, and as for the
"little fellows," who neither earn
their money nor spend ir, it' is not
often that they have more than a
term or two. A congressman who
is mean here is likely to be just as
mean at home, and when they find
him out they generally put him out.
The opinion at the capilol last
week was that Mr. Blaine had not
been tendered the premiership in
the new cabinet. And the opin
ion was just as positively expressed
that he would be sent abroad, in
all probability to France, which, it
was said lie preened to either the
cabinet or London. All this in
spite of repeated telegrams from
Indianapolis to the effect that
Blaine had been tender d and had
accepted the state department
portfolio. One New York paper
stated this positively, claiming to
have received information that was
authentic oeyond question. Never
theless at the capitol it is general
ly believed that Sherman will be
secretary of state, Allison secre
tary of the treasury, and that the
rest of the c..rd is yet b ank.
When congress sensibly de
termines to meet earlier or later,
or best of all to have practically
continuous sessions with voluntary
recesses to suit convenience and
the seasons, the customary strug
gle over the question of adjourning
for the holidays will be a thing of
the past. A session beginning in
December and ending in March is
so Hhort that the interruption and
loss of time due to the Christmas
holidays are seriously felt. If the
session were inerel' extended
until an inauguration'day on April
30tn, some additional time would
bo gained. At some future date
the law will probably cause the
assembling of a new house of rep
resentatives soon after the election,
will extend in some way the short
session so that time may not be
wanting, if the disposition is pres
ent, to make 5t useful for legis
lative purposes, and will follow a
historical precedent and please the
American people in their quadren
nial pilgrimage to the capital by
fixing April .'50th a inauguration
dav.

Among the business houses of this
city worthy of special note is the
harness and saddle establishment ot
J. J. Dubruille, which was recently
removed into his elegant new quar
ters in Pear je's block. Mr. Dubruille
carries one of the largest hue of sad
dles, harness, buggy -obes and teams
ter's furnishings in this section of the
country, aud enjoys a thriving trade.
A novelty of his business is a beauti
ful, life-sized grey horse, used as a
sign. Its life-like appearance has
frequently caused it to be mistaken
by strangers for a genuine equine
specimen, and is admired by thou
sands. Iu the "street -view on our
first page it marks the location of
this well known establishment. Mr.
Dubruille is one of Albany's j er
prising citizens, and has one f he
finest stores in the city. He i ti es
a full aud complete assortment of
goods in his lire, having supplied
during the past year large quantities
of pack saddles and other supplies
for the railroad work on tho eastern
extension of the Oregon Pacific. He
employes none but first-class work
men, and the harness and saddles
from his establishment are not stir
passed by any in Oregon.

After an absence of 17 years the'
grim monster returned t the
broken family circle of Thomas ).
and Manila Wilcox, of I'tiilomath,
Oregon, and laid his ruthless hand I
upon another son. '
Ulysses Grant Wilcox died IW.
2('.th,"aged 24 years; 3 months and 1
7 days. The prosjective usefulness I
and pleasure of continued health-J
ful manhood was elotidel by a
former illness, from which he
hoped in vain to recover, but like
others a lingering hoe clung to
him even to the last.
In sickness he manifested a ureat
degree of patience in suffering.
No less marked was the sorrow he '
seemed to have when thinking of
the grief his departure would
bring to hif mother and friends.
Though wicked when among his
associates in his last sickness his
heart was softened into submission
and resignation to the will of God.
In the last conscious moments he
cal'ed all the family to his bed,
kissed them, bade them good-bye
and requested all to meet him in
heaven and then asked them to
lay him down to rest.
