OUR REPRESENTATIVE AT
Washington.

of Mr.. McCord think he will make
a brilliant mark at Washington.
They do not expect he will take a
prominent part in the debates in
the House or in other ways render
himself very conspicuous. But
they do expect, and we think time
will justify the expectation, that he
will make a highly useful and
efficient representative. In point
of ability he will rank with the
average member; while in practical
experience, general tact, and
adaptability to the work to be
done, he will prove himself equal
to the best. His capacity for hard
work, and his willingness to do
hard work are excelled by none;
while his affability and approacha-
bleness, and his superior converse
tional powers, added to the unus-
ual accomplishment of being a
good listener will compel respect
and insure influence.
While the state Of Wisconsin
has been singularly fortunate in
securing efficient and successful
representatives to congress, we
have no doubt but our present
member, when he once fairly gets
hold of the "ropes," will rank with
the most useful and successful of
them. We are informed through
the dispatches, that he has already
prepared several bills, which, if
they should become laws, will be
a great benefit to this part of the
state. His bill proposing to erect
a public building in every town or
city where the gross receipts of
the postoffce exceeds $1,000 per
annum for three successive years,
will be a boon to every town where
its provisions apply. His bill to
sell the Indian timber lands, to
the highest bidder, in SO acre
tracts, SO that everyone can have
a chance-the workingman with
small means, equally with the
pine baron, is so fair, both to the
buyer and the seller, that no one
can consistently fault-fnd its just,
reasonable and honorable provis-
ions. The same may be said of
his proposed measure to dispose
ofthe water reserve lands. Instead
Of having it brought into market
at private sale to be grabbed up by
a few Of the favored ones, he pro-
poses to have it brought in subject
to homestead entry, which certain
ly will give to the poor man an
equal chance with the rich man.
These early efforts of our repre-
sentative, and the public acts OF
his past life, give the strongest
assurance that every act of his as
a member of congress will be in
the interest of the masses. The
Advocate wishes to put on record
the prediction, thus early in his
public career, that the common
people will have no occasion to
condemn any vote or official act
of Mr.. McCord while he is honored
with a seat in congress.
Many old soldiers are now
enjoying the fruits of a well-earned
pension, obtained through the
earnest efforts of their member OF
congress; and his labors in this
direction have but fairly begun.

On motion of Representative
Butterworth, the House, without a
division passed a resolution
authorizing the Speaker to appoint
a committee of five to investigate
the Ohio ballot box forgery. Mr.
Butterworth made a few manly
remarks in asking the House to
vote for his resolution, and every
honorable man must wish that the
congressional committee may
succeed in running down the
rascal that committed the forger-
les. Trihing with the good name
of a man is a very grave crime,
and punishment should follow
close upon detection.

Speaker Reed has lost no time
since his election. He expects to
announce the remainder Of the
standing committees of the House
this week. MIR. Reed has been
called a lazy man, and perhaps he
is, but if SO it's a great pity that a
lazy man hasn't been elected
Speaker of the House before this,
for in this matter of appointing the
committees he is ahead of all his
predecessors.

A joint resolution has already
been introduced in the Senate
providing for a congressional
recess from next Thursday to
January 6, and there is not the
slightest doubt about it passing
both Houses. The recess will not
however be spent in idleness.
The important committees will be
in session almost every day getting
business in shape. Mr.. Mckinley,
chairman of the new Ways and
Means committee, proposes to go
to work at once upon the tariff
bill which is to be passed at this
session. 1t is probable that what
was known as the Senate tariff bill
at the last session of Congress
will be used as the basis Of the
new bill. Trusts too are to be
looked after by the same commit
tee. The election committee will
take up the contested election
cases and push them through as
rapidly as may be consistent with
justice to all parties concerned.

The Investigation of the books
of the office of the Sergeant-at-
Arms showed Speaker Reeds
account to be o~ver-drawn SI,o34.
This created a big sensation when
it first leaked out, but was quickly
squelched when Nj. Reeds atten-
ton was called to it, by the
following statement by that
gentleman: II have never over
drawn my account, in fact | have
never drawn a cent until it was
due. After I was elected Speaker
there was due me SI,034. I
handed in my certificate that the
money might be got for me from
the Treasury in the form of a draft
on New York. | got my draft in
due time, and | cannot understand
how the draft could have been
issued by the Treasury without
the deposit of my certificate in the
regular way. That's the whole
transaction and I don't see how it
can be called an overdraft. 1t was
certainly not due to any act Of
mine" Mr.. Reeds experience
shows the careless manner OF
doing business which was
prevalent.

One of the largest of Boston's banking
houses makes a specially of deposit &C.
counts with the Chinese of the city, who
all place their money in this establish
ment's hands. The aggregate Of such de.
posits made by the gentry of the Howery
land is at any one time very large, while
the personal accounts of the fantan
gamblers, who are the rich men of the
celestial colony here, run far up into the
thousands of dollars. An important par
of the business done with them consists
in selling drafts for money sent to Asia.
Much trouble was found at first in
keeping accounts with these pig tailed
capitalists, owing to the curious fact that
each Chinaman, as n rule, has several
names, which are employed in such q
manne as to be a trifle confusing. He
always has at least three, and sometimes
more. He has one namea as a boy. When
h egets to be a man he takes a new one,
Upon going into business he adopts O
third. No one of these three seems to be
used in connection with the others, and,
inasmuch as a fresh designation is ac.
cepted every time he goes into a new
laundry enterprise, the paying teller finds
some difficulty now and then in securing
a satisfactory Identification. When @
laundry is sold out, too, the proprietor's
business name oes with it to the pur.
chaser, and thus transfers Of personal
titles are constantly taking place, occa.
sioning no end of confusion. But bank,
ing for Cinnamon is an occupation all by
itself, and must be acquired by special
study.-Washington Star.

CLOSING OF an Important Quiet.

The blorkade Of a port is not more in
furious to its commerce than is even the
temporary obstruction of the bowels to
the health of the system. Constipation
necessarily arrests the secretion OF bile,
impedes and disorders digestion and poi
sons the circulation. The safest and most
effective, as it is also the most genial,
laxative and antibillious medicine in ex-
%istence, Is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
and it is more than probable that its SOW
ereign efficacy as n preventive and remedy
for intermitten and remittent fever is
largely due to its reformatory action upon
the liver, an organ ~preiudicially involved
in all malarial complaints. Persons with
a tendency also to rheumatic, neuralgia
and kidney trouble cannot do better than
te antagonize it with Hosletter's Stomach
Bitters, which invariably checks it at the
outsett The weak, moreover. are inves-
ted with strength by this fine ~invigorant.

was adopted, it would result in an in.
creased river traffic, both in freight and
passenger departments. Thirty years
ago the heavy passenger boats were
withdrawn from the upper Ohio river,
between Pittsburg and Cincinnati. Later,
lighter boats were adopted, and now
there is more passenger business be-
tween those points than there was while
the large boats were being operated.
The passenger traffic is mostly way bust

Cincinnati to Pittsburg a BOAT usually
handles from 400 to 500 passengers
There is also a vast difference in the ex-

CoIorado,s Meat Inspection Law,

DENVER, Colo, July l6.-ln Judge
Stones criminal court, to day, in the case
of the people VS.. Julius Schmidt, brought
to test the validity of the meat inspection
law passed by the last general assembly, a
formal judgment was entered against the
defendant for the purpose of having the
constitutionallty of the law passed on by
the supreme court as soon as possible.
The case was not tried upon its merits,
but the question arose on demurrer to the
indictment and the decision was against
the defendent for the reason that if Judge
Stone had declared the law unconstitu
tional, the stale could not .liave appealed
to the supreme court. Hon. Geo. w.
McCrary and Willard Teller appeared for
the defense, and Isaac N. Stevens aud
Hugh Butler for the prosecution.

OLYMPIA, July l6.-A few days ago
II. Il. Moore, of Spokane Falls, ordered
fifteen cases of the best whisky to be
shipped him from Kentucky, in order that
be might keep open house in good old
fashioned style. A reporter saw the
whisky delivered and wrote a sensational
article for a Seattle paper, stating that
Moore was lobbying in the interest of the
Northern Pacific railroad, and had i'm
ported liquors as conducive to subtle in
~f1uence.
Moore today rose to a question of priv
ilege, had the article read and denied
he was connected with the convention in
any irregular manner. He explained the
details of his Kentuckey career and in
stanced the importation of liquor as only
in keeping with old time principles of hos
pitality for which K%entuckians are noted.
Great applause greeted the explanation
and at the conclusion of the convention
thesRepublicans resorted to Moore's house
and sampled his good liquor long and

ParneIIites Mithdraw.

LONDON, July l6.-Uupon the open
ing of the Parnell commission this morn
ing, Sir Charles Russell. counsel for Par
nell. stated after full consideration of the
situation Parnell had instructed him to
no longer represent him before the com
mission. This was virtually a notification
that Parnell declined to make any further
presentation OF his case before the CON
mission. Justice Hammer said: "Parnell
will, OF course, remain subject to the juTis.
diction of the court. The counsel for
the other members of parliament against
whom charges are made by the Tunes
then also withdrew from the case. Par
nell made a personal application to the
court asking that if there was any design
to further examine him, such examination
be proceeded with without delay. Justice
Hammer promised to call him Thursday.
Alter counsel for Parnell and other
members of parliament had retired, JUS
tice Hammer said the scope of the inquiry
would not be altered. The taking of tes-
timony was then resumed, james O'Kel-
ly, member of parliament, declared he
had no statement to make. On cross-ex-
animation he admitted he was a member
of the Irish Republican Brotherhood from
1866 to 1870. In 1871 an attempt to ar
rest him was made when he was leaving
Ireland under the name of John Smith.
Letters were found in his luggage from an
agent who was shipping arms to Ireland.
Sir Henry James, counsel for the Times,
produced several letters written by O'Kel.
lY, partly in invisible ink, In which refer
ence was made to the shipment of arms
and doings of Fenians. One of the let
tiers, referring to a remittance of $2I, 500
from America, contained a passage read
ing: we are ready to take the field
when the proper order is issued"
Witness claimed that the letters we're
not authentic While witness was in
America, he Joined the Can ma Gael.
This organization sent him to Ireland as a
military officer to %reorganize the Irish.
He received 5000 towards expenses.
He did not effect the object of his mis-
sion finding the agents in Ireland declined
to cooperate with him. He therefore
considered his mission ended and went to
