THE SPECIAL SESSION.

The special session of the Oregon
legislature will convene 1T Salem Nov
ember 9th, 1885. Each individual
member should be anxious to get an
other chance at legislation, in order to
undo the blunders that were, in part at
least, of his doing last spring. Twen-
ty days, the period allotted to the spec
ial session, unless indeed the abound
ing philanthropy of members should
induce them to stay beyond the limit
withour pay, is time sufficient for con-
sidering the measures of "vital impor-
tance to the people" which induced the
governor to call the legislature togeth-
er, and if judicisusly, tsmperately and
carefully used will do mnch in the way
of expunging, if not from the records,
from the public mind the factious action
of the forty days session that involved
the republican party of the state in
disgrace, to the great comfort and de-
light of its enemies. Of course, the
legislature of the state was called at
this time for specific ohject--the cleo
ton of United States senator. Bal
loting upon the names of candidates
for this position cannot take place un-
til the second Tuesday of the session,
hence there will be seven days in which
to attend to matters of minor detail be-
fore the balloting for senator begins.
Republicans, being in good working
majority, viii be held accountable by
the public for the errors that may be
committed, and will be accredited with
the good that may result. IF the lead
srs of this party in the Legislature are
sagacious enough and magnanimous
enough to put personal preferences and
petty spite resolutely under their feet,
and work as legislators rather than as
individuals, the session will result sat
isfactorily and bene6cially. There is
every incentive to action of this kind.
Everything is to be gained by it, anil
everything upon which party can &c
before the people and ask their suf.
frages in this state at the next election
is jeopardized, If not lost, by the op.
posite line Of conduct. Statesmanshir
is not particularly required of Oregon
Legislators at this time, but common
sense and temperate judgment is in
great demand.-zSlegyam.

IHE DALLES, Oct. 70, 1885.
Ed. CORVALLIS GAzETTE:-Many re-
publicans in this section of the state
have read with undisguised pleasure
your open advocacy Of the election of
Hon. Geo. III. Williams to the United
States Senate. His distinguished abil-
tiles, AS we'll as those great public SER
vices by which he shed lustre upon the
name Of Oregon, are so well known
and appreciated as to leave nothing to
be added, touching the proprietv and
policy of placing him again in the
Senate. Whilerspublicans of eastern
Oregon are not entirely unanimous in
their preference for any particular can
didate, it may be safely said that the
election of Judge Williams would give
general satisfaction east Of the noun
tains, and 80 as far as any action of
the legislature could go toward consign-
ing to oblivion those personal animosi-
ties which have heretofore been SO dis
astrous to the party-"a consummation
devoutly to be wished"

The New York Wo,zd's Washington
special says: The president is not aware
of the immense range of opposing forces
that are preparing for the winters cam
paign against him. Up to the present
time he has made no preparations. He
has alienated, to a certain degree, the
leaders of his party among the demo-
cratic senaScrs, nearly all Of whom have
some grievance against the president.
They are his allies as yet, but they are
not cordial on es. 1t would be very
easy for him yet to make them his

ty-fve years ago and the republican
party of year ago. He said that the
achievements of the republican party
met with universal appreciation now,
and asserted that had there been a free
ballot and honest count in the South it
would still be in power. He defended
the bloody-shirt policy. He said this
policy did not operate to revive the
memories of the war, but it was neces-
STATED by occurrences since the conflict
and he conti asted it with Fitz Hugh
Lees campaign in Virginia. The dem
ocrats, he continued, promised to look
over the books, count the money and
restore prosperity. The former two
promises they have performed, but the
latter vas unredeemed. The country
was looking to president Cleveland for
his policy. If he pronounced for pro.
lection this third promise would be
performed, but free trade would inten.
sify the present depressed condition Of
business.

To Purify Drinking Water. Professors
Austen and WILDER, after the most elabor-
ate experiments, consider it established
that by the addition Of two grains of alum
to the gallon, or half an ounce to the one
hundred gallons, water can be clarified by
standing, and that neither taste nor physio-
logical properties will be impaired to it by
this treatment. By increasing the amount
of alum, the time required for the separ-
alton and settling can be diminished and,
vice Uers0, by diminishing the amount of
alum added, greater time will be required
for the Qualification. The solution of alum
is made as follows: Dissolve half an ounce
of alum in cup Of boiling water, and
when it is all dissolved pour into quart
measure and fill to a quart with cold
water. (This solution should be kept in
bottle labelled "Alum.') Fifty-four
drops Of this solution contain two-thirds
grains of alum, which is the amount to be
added to one gallon of water The old
fashioned teaspoon holdsabout forty drops;
the new spoons, however, hold about sew
enty drops. Hence modern teaspoon,
8cant full, will be about the right amount
to add to every gallon of water to be FL
tered.

AS acceptable work for women, which
will give them an income, an exchange thus
speaks of the Woman'S Christian Temper
ance Union:
"The National Woman'S Christian
Temperance Union, with its thirty eight
auxiliary State and nine Territorial Uni
ons, besides that of the District of
Columbia, is the largest society ever com
posed exclusively of women, and conducted
entirely by them. It is now organized in
every State and Territory of the nation,
and locally in all important towns and
cities. Great Britain, Canada and Austria
liza are also organized. AS a general
estimate we think the number of local
unions in the United States about 10000,
with membership of about 100000, be-
sides numerous juvenile organizations.
This society is the lineal descendant of the
great temperance crusade of 1894, and
is a union of Christian women of all
churches, for the purpose Of educating the
young; forming better public sentiment
reforming the drinking classes; transform
ing, by the power of Divine grace, those
who are ensIaved by alcohol; and removing
the dramsbops from our streets by law.
Eleven yearsof constant study and ezpe-
rience have enabled us to reduce the
method to a science.
Hundreds of women have already become
experts in this branch Of social science
and religious activity. AS organizers,
national, State, district and county, they
are kept constantly busy, and their income
is provided by those for whom they labor
