Christmas.
Next Monday will be the 25tb day of
December, commonly called Christmas.
We will leave it to religious jour
;als to dilate upon the reasons
vhy this day is more widely ob
served than any other in the three
hundred and sixty-five and confine our
self merely to the matter of impressions
made by the occasion. Perbap3 the
happiest delusion of onr life was tho
belief in Santa Claus and tho confidence
with which we hung up our stocking
near the old home hearthstone "on the
night before Christmas." Tho story of
the jolly little old man who drovo rein
deer, and spent all the year making toys
in some frozen region, for good little
boys and girls in all parts of the world,
is as vivid in our mind to-day 03 it was
twenty years ago. Of course, with time
we discovered tho real Kris Kricglo,
and since that time, beyond its religious
significance, tho day has lost all charm
for us. The great trouble now is, what
shall we buy for so and so, whom we
must give something to 'and where, oh,
where! are we to raise the necessary
money ? "In childhood's happy hours"
Christmas wa3 associated with no such
embarrassing puzzles, and the longer
we,live the wore extended becomes the
class of
friends who expect something
from
us and the more circumscribed
become our means of raising the rev
enue. Christmas is a rare jolification
for the young folks, but for those
"whose years carry them beyond the
fledgling's nest" it -is a bugbear and a
day, the sun setting on which, is accom
panied by a sigh of relief. "We will all
say we had a delightful time, but oh,
how glad we will be when the day is
over, and the excitement of Christmas
trees, exchanging prssents and tinhorns
are things not to be resurrected for an
other year. There may be rare qualities
of fan in holidays, but to us they have
some how lost their charm, and with
each year wo grow more cynical and
less enthusiastic ou their approach.
There would be few tears shed in this
office if such things as dies von were
erased from the calendar. Christmas
this year is rather more important to
Americans, perhaps, than any since
177G, for this year the celebration of the
birthday of Christ i the last holiday in
the century of our country's freedom,
and rfs such should be made doubly
memorable by us all, as the crowning
event of our nation's existence. Wish
ing all our friends and patrons a very
meriy Christmas, and an abundance of
everything desirable, we cease writing
'anything of a Xmas character until
about this time next year
Apples.
Clackamas county by all odds is tho
best apple growing section in Oregon,
and this necessarily means the world. It
is true that Polk.ATurion and Linn coun
ties raised more bushels of this fruit last
year than our farmers, but the achieve
ments 01 onr dry house when placed in
competition with the products of those
of different places, conclusively show
tho superiority of our fruit. We are
informed that apples are now so cheap
that it does not pay to pick, pack and
ship them, and they are consequently
allowed to rot on the ground or become
the food for hogs. Considering tho
very fair prices realized by the Aluen
Fruit Dryer of this city for its prepared
apples, we should think it would pay
our farmers to cut and dry their fruit
themselves, and thus less packing
would have to be done and tho ship
ping, would bo very considerably
cheaper. It is a shame to allow our
delicious apples to lie and rot for the
want of a little enterprise, and we hope
that our many farmers who our now al
lowing their orchards to bear uselessly
will take our hint and preserve them
for homo consumption and exportation.
"The fierce hu?sar" of tho Bee has
an idea that a foil growth of - beard is a
sign of manhood. No; it may be a
symbol of years, not necessarily of
manhood, as his own case conclusively
proves. It was not our iutention how
ever to twit him on his beard, as he
supposed, but to call him to account
for forgetting honorable jonrnalisim in
trying to induce Clackamas connty pa
pers for his sickly abortion. He says
we are too young to emulate his busi
ness tactics, and we most sincerely
hope that we may alwavs
that state of adolescense, if

Amend the Pension Laws.
A pamphlet praying Congress to
amend the pension laws is being freely
circulated through tho country, and on
careful perusal of the same, we cannot
do otherwise than give the movement
I onr heartiest support. As the law now
stands, tho time for obtaining arrears
for pension is limited to five years from
date cf discharge or death. The pamph
let truly says: "When the original act
was passed, no provision was made to
meet , the numerous contingencies that
subsequently arose, absolutely prevent
ing in nearly all the canes of your peti
tioners a compliance with the require
ments, thereby being debarred from
obtaining tha indemnity intended by
such acts." The contingencies that
have arisoa are co numerous that the
law as now existing looks very ranch
liko a piece of gross inattention oa the
part of tho fraraers. For instance, a
contingency is the negligence and inat
tention of pension claim agents, another
id the loss of papers by agents, and the
consequent delay in obtaining new
vouchers of evidenca. Ignorancs of
agents in tha prosecution of claims;
mistakes of agents in the rep&ration of
claims; fjlse or wrong information by
agents, surgeons and others, in whom
the claimant placed reliance; abscond
ing or removal of agents to unknown
localities with completed claims, are all
contingencies that have arisen to the
prejudice of deserving men. Other
reasons cited in tho pamphlet are want
of information by pensioners respecting
the time of limitation; ignorance of
pensioner as to tho amount of disability I
required to obtain a pension; long
continued sickness or prostration,
preventing an attention to the claim
within the specified time; absence from
the country unavoidably extended be
yond the time of limitation; remote dis
tance from localities whero competent
claim agents were resident; necessary
delay in procuring certificates of dis
ability required from officers on account
of removal; protracted and unavoidable
delay in learning tha residence of the
surgeon whose testimony was required;
apparent slight wounds or disease, of
such a nature that the pensioner sup
posed that he would reccover therefrom,
but the disability increasing, often be
coming total, a pension was necessarily
applied for; first intention to waive any
claim under the pension act, but subse
quently by necessity compelled to make
application; malice of officers or sur
geons against soldiers, and hence a dec
lination to give corroborative testimony;
destruction and imperfection of hospital
records; loss of papers by fire while in
tho hands of agents after claims had
been completed, and loss of papers by
transmission through the mails after all
the provisions had been complied with.
All these reasons are plain and potent,
and wo call on our representatives in
Washington to help in the good work.
We have several men in our own county
who have been debarred by one or more
of these unavoidable reasons from ob
taining their just dues, and aside from
any patriotic motives, any feelings of
gratitude, we claim for theso crippled
heroes simple justice. We hope our
Senators and Representatives will bear
this petition in their minds.
How to Push Business.
One of our exchanges very pertinent
ly remarks that "there are a great many
old fogies notably too many who en
tertain unsound ideas of how to push
business. Rather than invest a few
dollars in making their business known
through the public prints, they set on
their haunches and wait for peopls to
find them out." We have noticed our
self that when these people are approach
ed on the subject of advertising, they
will reply that it does not pay, and yet
this very declaration is disproved by
every article that is placed in their show
windows or that is hung up in front of
their stores. The man who says it does
not pay to advertise is doing it in some
way all the time. If a mercLant hangs
a few goods outside the door what is
that but advertising? If a cabinet
maker hangs out a chair or other article
of furniture at his shop door, he is ad
vertising. If a man loses a vmrse or a
horse, and tells everybody he meets, lie
j
is advertising his loss. The doctor who
has a boy run into church and call him
out is advertising. ' The minister who
announces next Sunday's text from the
pulpit is advertising. The street parad
ers of circus establishments are nothing
but advertisements. The truth is a
man cannot do business without adver
tising, and the only question should be.
the way to do it. If you have a lot of
personal property to sell, which i3 tie
better, to write out a few notices that
not one in a hundred will read, or to go
to the printer and have a lot of well dis
played posters in addition to an adver
tisement in the papers? If you are in
need of help, don't ask your neighbor's
wife if she knows of a girl, but make
your want known through the news
papers, and you will have plenty of ap
plicants next morning to fill the place.
If you are in business of any kind, is it
not hotter to keep yourself before the
public eye, in your city papers, by an
a 1 vertisement that will stareyour friends
and customers in the face every day.
rather than trust the old fogy idea, "O,
they all know me"? But Mr. Closefirst
says advertising costs money. Very
true, and so does every tuing else; tnd
it is a good, thing for you that advertis
ing does cost something. If it did not.
every little worthless concern would
stand as good a chance of being known
as the very best and most useful. If
yon want the people to know that you
have anything to sell, advertise in your
borne papers first, then select one of
each, side in politics of your neighboring
papers. The man who has a reputable
business and spends the most in a lib
eral syBtem of advert, sing is the one
who makes the most money. This truth
has been verified by every one who has
tried it. Those who do not balieve it
have but to cast about them here in
Oregon City, and they will find that the
most prosperous business men are those
who advertiae liberally and judiciously.
We are nearly in commencement of an
important year and tha business public
should not close its eyes to a well knows
fact that winter, with its holidays aad
gaysties, is always the beat season for
trade. People have wants bow jnst as
they kave im proaperocs tisias. They
will bay, and b euro to fg to tkoe
who will effer tha beat bargaias. And
the way to saake the&s most widaly
known is by frequent announcement
through the papers. Try the experi
ment, you'll not regret it.
The Constitutional JUiyority.
During the present political diDcns
sion, says Harper's Weekly, there is fre
quent reference to the popular majority
which Mr. Tildcn has apparently re
ceived, lie is also called in 6nn pa
pers "tha choice cf the people." Do
the Democratic papers that speak in
this manner desire that the Sate basis
cf the electoral vote should be destroy
ed? The popular majority has consti
tutionally bo more to do with the elec
tion of the President than with the suc
cession of the Emperor of China, and
the choice of the people in the lawful
sense is the candidate who lias receiv
ed the lawful majority lawfully asoer
certained and declared. In a country
whure so large a portion of the voters
in the great cities are of foreign birth,
and are necessarly unacquainted with
tho character of our elective system,
this coastcnt appeal to the popular ma
jority in a Presidential contest is mere
mischievous demagoguery. Tha foreign-born
voter, who understands by a
republic a government cf the numer
ical majority npon ali occasions, baa no
conception whatever of a representative
republican system. Mr. Madison one
of the most sagacious and earnest of po-
litcal students and observers, held that
the problem of our system, as of all
popular government, was the protec
tion of minorities in other words, the
wise restraint of the majority. He
thought this defense admirably secur
ed by our peculiar "checks and balan
ces."
To insist upon tho popular majority
received by a Presidential candidate is
to strengthen the tendency to convert
our republican sjstem into a huge cen
tralized democracy, in which liberty
would surely perish. We venture to
believe that no truely intelligent and
honest Uemocrat lias any wish to see
our constitutional republic merged in
the immediate rule of numbers either
in the Senatorial or Presidential elec
tions. He doubtless prefers American
republicanism to French democracy
One of the "Napoleon ideas" was that
it was tho tendancy cf a democracy to
express itself in a unit, or a single per
son. Hence his personal despotism,
resting upon the plebiscite. That is a
Latin and a Celtic tendency. But it is
not one of the English race. Our po
litical philosophers deduce the devel
opment of a sound popular sjstem from
the small community or neighborhood.

rebellion, were exaggerations and dis
tortions of that principle of
local au
thority which is essential to
government.
truly free
The exaltation of the popular majority
in a Presidential election tends to the
contempt of this vital principle of our
system. It makes the ignorant restipe
under what they believe to bo the de
ftat of the popular will, and fosters a
disposition to overthrow all the barriers
that defend libertv from "n majority.
Tho reasons for our elective system of a
State majority were conclusive a hun
dred years ago, and they havb not lost
their cogency by the lapse of time. Yet
it is significant that the insistence upon
the mere majority of the aggregate mans
of voters proceeds latterlv from tne
Democratic party, which has been sup
posed to bo the peculiar depositary of
the doctrine of State rights a doctrine
disectly opposed to that of a national or
popular majority, lne present nurry

lliit ( ontanr Liniment, Yellow T rap
per, is for the tough skin, flesh and muscles of
UOKSIS, MULKS AID ANIMALS.
We have never yet srn a case of Spavin.
Sweeny, King-bone, Wind-gall, Scratches or
Poll-evil, which this Liniment would not
speedily benefit, and we newer saw but a few
cases which it would not cure. It will cure
when anything can. It is folly to spend 520
fora Farrier, when one dollar's worth ot Cen
taur Liniment will do better. The following is
a sample of th testimony produced :
Jeffersox, Mo., Nov. 10, 1873.
"Some time aso I was shii ping horse3 to St.
Louis. I got one badly crippled in the car.
Vith great difficulty I got him tothe stable on
Fourth Avenue. The srable-keejer gave me a
bottle of your Centaur Liniment, which I used
with such success that in two days the horse
was active and nearly well. 1 have been a
vetinary surgeon for thirty years, but your
Liniment heads anything I ever used.
"A. J. M'CARTY, Veterinary Surgeon."

Almanac, containing hundreds of certificates,

ments are now sold by all dealers in the
country.

Castoria i3 the result of 20 years experi
ments, by Dr. Samuet Pitcher, of Massachu
setts. It is a vegetable preparation as effective
as Castor Oil, but penectly pleasant to the
tast. n can be taken by the youngest in
fant, and neither g:igs nor gripes. lr. A. J.
CSr-en, of l!oyston, ind., says of it:
Sirs: I have tried the Castoria and can
speak highly of its merits. It w ill, I think, do
away entirely with Castor Oil : it is plasant
and harm 1 -ss, and Is wonderfully efficacious
as an aperient and laxative, it is the very thing.
Tre t astoria destroys worms, regulates the
stomach, cures Wind Colic, and permits of
natural healthy sleep. It is vry efficacious
in Croup, and for Teething Children. Rongj
is not pl-asunter to the taste, and Caster Oil
is not so certain in its effect. It costs but 5
cents, in large bottles.
