CONTESTED SEATS IN CONGRESS

To the Edffor OF The Tribune
SIR: II is hard TO conceive Of more nsfari
ous robheres OF the Treasury greater our ges upon
the rights OF the people than annually
by Congress In the matter OF contested elections It
makes little difference whether a candidate has been
elected to the House OF Representatives not II he
fails before the people he contest the claim OF his
successful competitors and whether he obtains the seat
not he receives tie pay Of member AMI has his ex
penses returned him Of the public treasury The
great crime In these cases lies with toe Committee on
Elections Iuseai Of proceeding at once to investigate
these and giving to the rigu his due
the usual mode is TO delay decision long possible
50 that ntary every Congress witnesses the OF
scores of claimants and lobbyists wrangng for seats
while the people at home know not who their represent
atives are And the evil 10 increasing nom year to
year. IL mas come TO be a national Disgrace.

How TO be Young NJ Eiphtv.

In a discourse ON this sub;ect,
Rev, DIR. Collyer gives these hints to
the candidates for hale, hearty and
happy old age.
The first element to be considered
lies beyond your reach or mine, in
the homes where you and | were
nurtured. One great reason why |
never had a really sick day in my life
was that l was born and nurtured in
a sweet little home, where we lived
on oatmeal and milk and brown
bread with butter once week, pota-
toes and a piece of meat when we
could catch it, and then oatmeal
again. So l don't know to-day as
have a system or a digestion at all.
l am never conscious of such thing.
Hence l say we must 60 back to the
father and mother for the first an
swer to our question. Thousands of
young men come to the city with just
such constitutions as mine. They have
within them all the conditions for a
long life. They can use their years
wisely and well, and write at the end
OF each one, "Value received" Or
they can overdraw the account, as
many do, God help them! Instead
OF saying at fifty, 81 am young yet, "
they will say at forty, 81 am old in
deed" They are so ambitious to get
on, some of them, that they use two
days up in one and waste their vital
powers. They ride when they ought
to walk down town, and they take a
little something" as they say, to re-
store their lax energies, for which
they have to chew a Glove or coffee
berry, 1 am told. They are over
drawing their account, 1 say, and
some day nature and the grace of God
will shut down on them. Those who
so differently keep a good digestion,
stay young and buoyant, love good
company, and are not ashamed to
look their mother or sisters in the eye
or to kiss them. Another secret that
must be known to be young at eighty
is that you must keep faith in the
common manhood and womanhoou
and in the ever-advancing progress OF
the day. Never say that the past is
better than to-day; read the new
books, understand all the new ideas;
and keep your faith in God and in
man and the victory of good over
evil.

Texas To-Day.

Not a State exchange but contains
accounts of the arrivals of parties from
the older states with capital to invest
in Texas industries, OF those with lesser
means, but withal capable, Industrious,
and energetic, who come to take up
their residence and better their fort
une by following some of the
avenues of competency this state offers
for the deserving. These people make
good citizens, and soon acquire the pa
triotism and state pride that animates
every Texan, because of the immense
area and multiplicity of resources Of
the Lone Star State compared with
others, go to work and improve their
own fortunes, and build up and enhance
the commercial and social status of
the entire commonwealth. The class
of immigrants now coming into Texas,
come with the intention of making the
state their home. and not with the ex-
pectation of suddenly acquiring wealth.
With the exception of her cheap lands
and wonderful fertility and diversity of
resources, Texas offers no special adj
vantages over other sections, and the
man who comes with the expectation
that it is Eldorado, or of growing sud-
denly rich as did some of the Argo-
nauts in the early days of California,
will be disappointed. There are i'm
mensely wealthy men in Texas it is
true, but they are in almost every in
stance men who have resided in the
state for years, and besides they are
men with brains to conceive and courage
to carry out schemes that would have
made them wealthy anywhere. But to
the immigrant who desires a cheap
home, a fertile farm, and an opportu-
nifty so succeed by merit, no state offers
such advantages as Texas; and such
are coming by the thousands, and will
continue to come until the boundless
farming lands blossom as a rose, and
until this is in population, as it now is
in advantages, the greatest state In the
Union. As for those who do not live
here, but are investing immense
sums in cattle, they are certain of
sure and speedy profit, as the cattle
interest is and always will be the great
est industry in Teras.-H. Worth Ga
