campaign Funds not FOrthcOming.
VARIOUS REASONS WHY APPEALS ARE NOT RE

sPoNDED TO.
Inc virginia finance committee appointed
by the Virginia democratic association in this
city TO collect funds for the campaign In that
state has not met with much success yet in
collecting from District democrats. The Dis
trict democrats answer all appeals by saying
that they can't afford to contributes; that they
paign fund.
The indications are that there will not be
mocn money 60 out of Washington this fall for
eminent clerks, it is claimed, are making no
contributions. Politicians from New York and
Virginia say 1t is very difficult to get contribu
ing there on account of the failure Of the admin
istration to harken to all their appeals for pat.
ronage. 1t is said to have been decided that no
more appointments are to be made in Ohio, Vir-
ginia and New York until after the fall cleo
lions, as 1t is thought that they would do more
harm than good at this time.

Mr.. Courts, the clerk Of the House committee
on appropriations, and whose experience covers
number of years. in conversation with STAR
reporter o-day, expressed the opinion that this
plan would not work well. He said that it
would make twelve appropriation committees

reporting Its respective BILL the result might be
to throw them all upon the House in the last
days OF the session instead of putting them
mittees outside of that on appropriations as
Legislative committees" and said that their
duties are to attend to the needs of the various
branches of public service in the way of legis-

legislation necessary to improve and benefit
the navy and its organization, while the mill
tary committee should do the same for the
of making up appropriations be imposed
cessarily have to slight their duties
there is nothing noW to either of Of
the committees from thoroughly advising itself
as to the estimates, the needs Of any branch of
the service, etc, and OF taking an active and
after they are reported. The suggestion has
been made that the appropriations committee
should, by rule, be deprived of the right to re-
port any legislation; thatit should be restricted
to the duty Of arranging and reporting only the
appropriations necessary to carry on the gov
eminent, and there is an impression in some
quarters that this may be done.
The expressions, 80 far as they have been ut
tered, upon the scheme to apportion the various
appropriation bills out among the several COM
mtttees and thus strip the appropriations COM
mfttee OF Its powers and duties do not seem to
augur well for the project. Members even who
are opposed to the existing rules and think
they ought to be changed so as to make it easier
to enact laws, declare themselves hostile to the
plan of dividing up the appropriation bills.

Washington monument is now on its way to
Washington. Although several states have
expended more money for their memorial
stones than Oregon, it is believed that none vet
received at Washington will surpass this one
judging by the photograph and description
which were sent in advance. 1t consists OF three
kinds OF Oregon stone. The stone itself is a
brown granite sandstone, bearing ON its face q
landscape with the coat Of arms of the state
surrounded by fruits and flowers; the whole
enclosed with a raised moulding. The stars
surrounding the state seal are thirty-two in
number, OF a greenish sycnite set into the sand
stone, and the snow-capped mountains in the
seal are represented by white marble from
southern Oregon, also set in the brown sand
stone. The stone is four and half feet long
two feet wide, and six inches thick. and will

DIRECTING TO THE HOUSE RULES.
Representatives who Desire q Change.
CONSERVATIVE MEMBERS WHO OPPOSE 1.-THE
PROJECT OF forthcoming OUT THE APPRO-
PRIATIoNs TO VARIOUS COMMITTEES NOT
LIKELY To BE ADOPTED.


The question Of changing the rules of the
House OF Representatives is one that is fire.
quenuy discussed among members. Complaint
against the existing rules has been growing
louder and more determined for several years.
Some OF the ablest members Of the House have
publicly declared that the rules operate so as to
obstruct, rather than facilitate, business. AS q
general thing the older members, those who
nave served longest, are inclined to be very
conservative In the matter Of changing the
rules. They maintain that the result of code
Of rules which would enable every member to
get through his pet bills would inevitably be an
excess OF legislation. It is q we'll known fact
that nearly every member Of Congress has one
or more measures In which he feels q special in
70 the interest OF the district, or some part of
the district, which the member represents.
Ihe COMMITTEES on rules is generally composed
OF Inc most experienced members of the two
poItical parties In the House, and its record Is
one OF great caution In endeavoring to provide
against TOO much legislation.
THE APPROPRIATION BILLS.
One OF the phases Of this subject which mem.
bers of the next House are taking interest in
relates to the appropriation bills. It is claimed
that these bills should be pushed along with
greater facility, and not be permitted to mo-
nopon1e the closing days OF session. One
committee on appropriations to report one ap-
propriation bill within q given time after the
other regular appropriation bills, say in ten or
twenty days Of each other, SUCCESSFULLY.
Another suggestion has been made to the effect
that the appropriation bills be allotted to the
several committees which are entrusted with
legislative powers relating to the interests
which these bills respectively involves; that the
naval committee shall have charge Of the naval
bill, the military committee of the army bill,
the District committee OF The District bill, and
SO on through the list. This plan of perfecting
the appropriation bills is not new one; it has
been urged in both houses of Congress, but has
never found any great degree of favor.

I'M HOT WEATHER.
Cold Drinks Not the Proper Thing In the
Summer Season.

Summer Season.
Spencer +. Baird. Secretary of the
Smithsonian Institute, recommends
that all water to be used for drinking
purposes, unless known to be pure,
should be boiled half an hour. He
appeals to his experience during the
Philadelphia Exposition as an instance
of the efficacy of his plan. A porous
earthen vessel is good thing TO put
the water in to cool, and if boiled in
the evening and placed in earthen ves-
sells in a cool place TO get cold, the
water will be found cold enough in the
morning for many people to drink
without ice. 1t is a simple preventive
of the cause of many diseases, and the
fact that impure water by no means
betrays itself, AS many suppose, Oy an APP
pearance of impurity, but is frequently
clear and limpid and agreeable to the
taste, adds to the danger from this
cause. 1t has been shown over and
over again that impure water is not at
all confined to cities, but is even more
frequently in the wells which supply
our country residents. Ii used TO be
held generally that even when surface
impurity existed within a radius of the
well sufficiently limited to drain into it.
the percolation through the soil would
remove every particle of impurity from
the water ere it reached the well, but
scientists have shown that such is not
the case. During the very hot weather.
when so much water is drank. it is well
to be on the safe side. A little cold
coffee or a very little vinegar and
little sugar poured into the water, make
very palatable and refreshing drink
in hot weather. All very cold drinks
should be imbibed slowly. Suddenly
flooding the stomach with large guam
tity of ice-cold liquid is always attended
with more or less risk, according TO
the condition of the drinker at the time.

Their Unsociability and the Expedieacy OF
Certain improvements.
The bicycle has doubtless become
one of the greatest promoters of
healthy outdoor exercise among our
young men, Us well as some of the
older ones-but there is necessarily
nothing social in it, in fact it is the
most selfish conception possible. Think
of a family man buying a bicycle and
starting off to ride while the wife and
children are left at home on the veran-
dab TO admire the grace and ease with
which their lord and master wheels of
to get exhilarating whiffs of fresh
country air. The economical young
man mounts his wheel on a fine after
noon, and whirls off to the residence
of his lady love. leans his steed against
me front fence. and spends the sum-
mer evening on the piazza, while the
young lady is no doubt thinking of her
possibly old-fashioned but more fortu-
nate companion who has gone out on
the road behind a good trotter, to
breathe the refreshing evening air.
The one wheel is far more economical
in every way. and its enthusiastic if
not fanatical admirers no doubt get
much good from it, but in an article
on social recreations they can not hope
for high praise for their favorite ma
chine; il certainly is not q family in
vention. When Mr.. Edison will invent
