THJU OKKQON 'STATO3MAJM: irHLDAV. 'JAllUlVJ C - ICZ7 - :; - - LEGISXATTTB FORECAST. The kgislatire assembly will convene at the capitol building on next Monday at the boar ol noon. The two bodies will then proceed to organize, by electing of ficers. The next work will be to canvas the vote cast at the recent general elec tion for governor, and to inform the per son receiving the highest number of all the votes cast for that office of his elec tion. Hon. Sylvester Pennoyerof Port land is the person to whom this infor mation will be conveyed this time. It is likely that the assembly wiU not meet in Joint convention until Tuesday, when .Got. Moody, will deliver bis last bien nial message, and the new governor will deliver his inaugural. The new state officers will then take the oath of office provided by law, and will .V. ehrr of the reins of eovernment. It is expected that the coming session will be a busy one. There are several matters of deep importance to come be fore the two branches of the assembly, and it is reasonable to suppose that the usual number of bills of minor Impor tance will be presented for consideration. Among the first tilings to command the attention of the legislators will be a reso lution passed at the last session provid ing for holding the general elections in October instead of Jane ; a resolution pro viding for submitting to the people, a pro posed amendment to the constitution the state, prohibiting the sale of liquors in tliis state ; a proposed amendment to the constitution providing that the legw 1 ature shall fix the salaries of state of ficers. To the first, there will be no opposition ; the second will provoke a strong fight, but will more than likely pass. It is understood that the liquor dealers' as sociation will have a strong lobby present to fight the propesed amendment. It is yet rather too early to attempt a forecast of the work of the session, as but three or four of the outside memtars are here yet. However they will Wgin to arrive to-day, and the third house will be here with them. But it is not too early to say that a new legislative apportion ment is almost assured. Just on what hasis this apportionment wifl be made, it is difficult to tell ; but the assembly will pass some sort of a re-apporf ion ment bill It is also very nearly definitely under stood that the tax bill recommended by the assessment and taxation commission will have an exceedingly hard fight, and will most probably go to the table. It is provoking much unfavorable comment among the fanning classes, and their in fluence will certainly defeat it. A bill providing for the holding of a convention to frame a new constitution for the state will be introduced: but as to its passing there seem erave doubts. There is no question but that Oregon has outgrown much of her old constitution, and many rhanires would prove beneficial; but the f-.ir is Ktrong, that a constitutional con vontion might overdo the business for which it was appointed, and thereby make matters worse. A bill providing some assistance and regulations for the state militia will also be introduced, and w ill probably pans now. There is no way of forming an accurate opinion as to who will occupy the princi pal chairs at the coming session. For the presidency of the senate there are three or four names mentiond, but it is pretty generally underwtood that a Mult nomah member will secure the place. For the speakership, only two or three names are mentioned, but it is likely the Marion county delegation will have some thing to say about this place.' However to-morrow will probably develop some thing of the feelings ef the members. Hie .republicans will enter into a caucus, and will elect their own officer this time. With sixteen majority on joint ballot, a "fuwion," such as occurred at the last session will notle necessary. LADY CI.KKKS.' The rapid approach to the time of the convention of the legislative assembly of Oregon, has again given a number of "journals" throughout the state, a chance to "rejeat their littlo say" about the question of employing women as clerks to the various committees necessary in that body. The writer is of the opinion that the argument that a person is incompe tent merely because that person haptens to bo of the feminine gender, is ground less, and will not bear itself out. That a great many "mistakes" were made during the recent regular and spe cial sessions, of course, must be admit ted ; but that they were the fault of the female clerks, cannot be proved. On the contrary, it can be proved, at least to the utmost satisfaction of e vary thoughtful person, that these "mistakes" were blame able to persons who wore "unmention ables," and who could chew tobacco if they wanted to. It is likely there will be the usual num ber of applicants among persons of the gaitler sex for clerkships, but as to their besieging both bodies of the assembly, any more than tbose bodies will be be sieged by male applicants, it is hardly fair to assert. It used to be, in times gone by, that a woman could not apply for such a position, or in fact, for any po sition that might be filled by a "man," without running all the risks imaginable as to her character and good 'name; but be it said to the honor of the times, that a woman can now work just as honestly, and with as little danger to her social standing, as can a man. Why a woman who may write a ; good hand, and who may be a careful worker, is not as competent to do clerical work as one of the masculine gender whose ac complishments do not exceed these things, with the exception that, he can smoke, and carry s cane, is a question to which no good answer has as yet, been given. Of course, the writer does not wish to be misunderstood to be speaking for these places for the ladies, to the exclusion of the men ; but he thinks that many ladies well known in Salem and elsewhere would make very competent clerks, and it is thought that they should not be "pushed out of sight," merely for the reason that they are women. WORDS Or ESCOCRAGEMXXT. The Salem Statesman, under the man agement of Hendricks & Saubert, has be come one of the best local journals in the state, and has shown enterprise that must secure for it a hizh place amonz newspapers of the Pacific northwest. The ew Year's number of the daily is the best and largest publication ever made at the state capital. It reviews much of local history, and furnishes much valu able information. The Statesman is earnest in advocacy of enterprises k calcu lated to benefit the capital city and the state, and deserves the large support it receives. A eood newspaper is one of the first necessities for a live town. A large picture of the new free bridge across the Willamette accompanies the New Year's number. Willamette Farmer. TOPICS OF THE TIMES. Let ns have a reform school. The Oregon legislature convenes to morrow. The first duty of that body is to elect good and competent officers. A oood ticket : J. C. Carson, of Multno mah, for president of the senate; J. T. Gregg, of Marion, for speaker of the house. The way to build a city is to build it, and not wait for the spirit to move us. Let us mark the progress of this year with a woolen mill. A sea horse in the Paris zoo has down ed a man and chewed his goozlestring. Next thing a sawhorse will assassinate a coaldealer. Oregon should by all means have a re form school. A liberal appropriation should be made by the legislature for such purpose. Salem will have the legislature and the Salvation Army. Scientifically speaking, one is tositive, the other is negative. Which is which? Last year there was $105,000,000 in proierty destroyed in the United States and Canada. It was a black Friday for the insurance companies. We oughto feel well in this country. Our production of cereal grains last year was 53 bushels per head of pulation. In 1850 it was only 3e bushels. The subscription lists of the States mas never before enjoyed such a boom as they have had for the past two weeks. Thanks. There is room for a million more. There must be some substitute for india-rubber. A rubber company in Bos ton failed last year, and the assignee de clares it impossible to stretch the hund red thousand of arrets over the half mill ion of liabilities. There seems to be not the least doubt that the advice of the Statesman in re lation to the reduction in passenger fares and freight rates on the railroads of Ore gon, will be heeled during the coming session. Thexe things are demanded by the people at the hands of the legislature, and that body will most surely pass proper laws of that kind. The son of his dad, "Capt." Herbert F. Beecher, has been appointed special arent of the treasury department for Ore gon and Washington territory, w ith head quarters either at Portland or Port Town send. It's to ba hoped that he will be "fired" from this msition as promptly as he was from that of collector of customs. He is not fit for a public officer. The New Year's edition of the Weekly Statesman is out. It contains, lesides the magnificent picture of the bridge, eighteen pages, or 108 columns of good reading matter. It is about twice as large as any paper ever before pub lished in Salem, and is not "padded," with "patent" or superfluous matter, but was all set up and printed in our own of fice. They are for sale, in wrapi-ei-s. if de sired, at the business office at 10 cents per copy. Tux foundation of the disease which caused Gen. Logan's speedy if not sud den death was laid during the war. His exposure and exertions in the field left him subject to violent attacks of rheu matic fever whenever he contracted a cold. His death was, therefore, as much due to his army life as if he had received fatal wound in battle. Under these circumstances, congress, without a word of criticism or dissent, ought to sward Mrs. Loean the fall pension she would hare received if her lamented husband had been killed on the field. This is the more a patriotic doty because Geo. Logan lived an honest and died a poor man.

No single disease has entailed more suffering er hastened the breaking up of the constitution than Catarrh. The sense of smell, of taste, of sight, of hearing, the Human voice, the mind one or more, and sometimes all, yield to its de structive influence. The poison it distributes throughout the system attacks every vital force, asd breaki up the most robust of constitutions. Ignored, because but little understood, by most physicians, lm potently assailed by quacks and charlatans, those suffering from it have little hone to be relieved of it this side of the crave. It is time, then, that the popular treatment of this terrible disease by remedies within the reach of all passed into hands at once competent and trustworthy.
