Third District Representation.


EDITOR HERALD: The discussion be-
gun some time ago as to candidates for
State offices, and possible contingencies
for 1883 has very naturally opened up the
question of the congressional representa-
ton, where changes are likely to be
made, in the various districts through
out the state. In this, the Third, but little
has been said thus far, but that little
is amply sufficient to indicate the senti-
ment of Republicans, on the congress
sional question at least. That is, that a
change next year is not only desirable,
but will be urged by many, if not a large
majority of the party, not on account of
the inefficiency or inability of the present
representative, Hon. r. M. La Toilette.
but because Dane, the county in which
he resides, will, at the close of his term
in 1888, have had the congressman for
SIX consecutive years including the total
period of its annexation to the district
1t would hardly be consistent therefore
with fairness for that county to present
candidate for congressional honors. in
the convention next year. All things
considered. it cannot but be conceded that
the nomination justly belongs to Green
county, which has never had member
of congress, but has always been loyal to
the party, its Republican voters work
ing with an avidity and disinterestedness
worthy of the highest recognition. The
name of Hon. j. B. Treat, of Green, is
being prominently mentioned IN connec-
ton with Mr.. La Follette's seat, and his
would unquestionably meet
with the heartiest Endorsement through
out the district, on account of his sterl-
ing worth as man, his uncompromis-
ing loyalty and zeal as Republican,
and his acknowledged qualifications for
the Office of representative in congress.
1t may be asserted with positiyeness
that Grant county would present no
candidate as against j. B. Treat. 1t is
conceded by Grant that Green and La
fayette counties are next entitled to the
There seems to be no
doubt but Iowa and Lafayette will sup
port Treat, notwithstanding the fact that
Judge p. A. Orton's name has been
casually mentioned in connection with
the place. The latter gentleman pos
sesses sterling qualifications for the
office of representative in congress, but
it is believed that should he have aspira-
tons in this direction, that he would
gracefully give way to Treat that the
might go to Green county
where it justly belongs. Next in turn
to Green, Lafayette would be entitled
and should have it. With no candidates
from Grant, Iowa or Lafayette coun-
ties and a generous withdrawal of further
claim on the part of Dane county, the
of Mr.. Treat would be a
forgone conclusion, insuring an am
icable and satisfactory adjustment of a
question which might become a very
vexed one should a fight be precipitated
in the district. 1t would seem the part
of wisdom, therefore, to concede the
nomination in the outset to Green,
and no man, so far as Grant county is
concerned, would be more acceptable to
voters, or prove more efficient
as representative in congress, than

A Fortunate Druggist.

Mr. Edwin W. Joy, for many years and now Il
prosperous druggist on the corner of Stockton

never dreamed of riyaling in wealth the medi

physician, great student of botany, located

not extensive. and yet the few cases of a general
nature that came to him attracted no little at
tentlon, His greatest success seemed to be in
the treatment OF liver and kidney disorders
and yitiated blood. In fact his ability to cone
with these common complaints was little short
of the marvellous. He seemed almost infallible.
and his quiet, modest methods and his we'll
kept secret was as much a mystery as himself
After his departure, about year later Mr.. JOY
determined to iathom the secret and copying
all the prescriptions he had filed for the cratic
DOCTOR he began q systematic ANALYSIS, In his
examination he discovered running all through
the prescriptions for liver and kidney troubles.

OF vegetable extracts indigenous to California
so simple and so well known under homely,
everyday names to every school boy as to en-
tirely disSipate the suspicion that they were the
active principles involved. So certain, how
ever, was Mr.. Joy that he had discovered the
secret that he embodied the new elements in a
preparation Of SarS9parilla to disguise the
taste, and put il before his customers under toe
modest name of joys Vegetable SArsapariIla
Immediately the same marvellous stories came
back of its astonishing effects, ard the mystery
was solved, and the talk it has created has al
