Unless = special session is
called after the fourth of next
March, the members of congress
who have just been elected will
not do any work until Decemb ber,
1895. We believe, and we are not
alone in the opinion, that 80 long
a time should not elapse after
congressman are elected before
they commence the work of legis-
lation. The present arrangement
may have been a most excellent
one when the government was
founded but experience has DEM
onstrated that is is not 80 now.
The people emphatically declare
themselves at the polls on matters
of national importance, involving
the happiness and prosperity Of
our people and, more than a
year elapses before the wishes of
of the voters can be carried out.
The longer the situation remains
as IL is at present the more unsat-
isfactory it will become. Members
of state legislatures enter upon
their services soon after their cleo
tion-usually within six weeks or
two months and We hope the
time is not far distant when the
same will be said of the members
of congress.

Election Expenses.

Otero county candidates certify
to their election expenses as fol-
lows:
George A. Daring, Populist can
didate for commissioner, certifies
that his total expenses were 1876
expended for cigars.
G. G. Wsshburn, Republican
candidate for commissioner, says
he spent $3.50 for cigars, s55 to
county central committee and
$3.50 for livery and board.
Henry M. Fosdick, Jr., Repub-
lican candidate for justice of the
peace in precinct No. l, says he
spent nothing.
j. D. Tourtellotte was running
on the Republican ticket for jus.
tice of the peace in Rocky Ford,
and says he spent 80 cents to be
elected.
Henry W. Adsmond says he ex-
pended nothing to be elected con-
stable at Rocky Ford, He is 9
Republican.
The Populist county central
committee certifies to receiving
$l8O,25 and expending $176.45.
The Democratic county central
committee acknowledges to an in
come of $74, and to an expenditure
of the same amount.
The Republican central COM
mittee admits the collection of
$500 and the expenditure Of the
full amount.-Watsrmelon.

Election expenses are no
small burden upon taxpayers.
They are too heavy and the COM
ing Legislature should provide for
cheaper machinery-especially in
the publication of the official bal
lot The enormous expense of the
publication of the official ballot in
8 by 10 dailies should be abolished
altogether. Outside of Denver,
Leadville, Pueblo and Colorado
Springs election advertising should
be done in tho weekly papers.
There are two good reasons for
this: l. The smaller cost to the
people. 2. Because the public
will be reached much more gener-
ally than if published in the small
dailies. If the commissioners of
the various counties do not make q
movement for the change suggest
ed above, they will not be doing
their duty to the people they rep
resent.

given the title of the Duluth Short

"MOTHER is DEAD"

Such was the message received by
us yesterday afternoon, signed by our
youngest brother, Mr.. B. f. Hunt,
who resides in Philadelphia, n. Y.
The news was not unexpected. For
more than four years she had been an
invalid and for months past the end
had been looked for daily. Long suf-
fering and patient, she has finally
been called to her eternal home there
to meet the partner of her life with
whom she lived over sixty years, and
who passed from earth four years ago
last May.
Our mother was married at the age
of fourteen years and bore fifteen
children-eleven of whom are living
to mourn her demise. No mother
ever lived more devoted to her fam
lily, and no family Of children could
be more devoted or affectionate to a
mother. For years she lived a most
devout Christian and died in the full
belief of eternal life beyond the grave.
No sadder task e'er befalls the lot
of man than that Of recording the
death of mother. But there is con-
ISOLATION in the reflection that she
lived long and useful life, and was
spared to us until she had reached her
eightieth year.
Goodbye mother. May the guardian
angels watch ever you throughout all
ages, and may that peaceful rest SO
richly earned during your long years
on earth, be yours throughout eternity

AGUE CAKE.
Enlargement of the Spleen Caused by
Chronic Catarrh.

People who have been much affiict-
ed with malaria or fever and ague are
very liable to have fullness or en-
largement of the left side just under
the ribs. This is commonly called in
malariouS districts ague cake. This
fullness is due to enlargement of the
spleen, caused by the malaria. The
enlarged spleen presses against the
heart above, causing palpitation of
the heart and ShortneSs Of breath. 1t
also presses against the stomach and
bowels, causing disturbed digestion
bloating, constipation, gurgling III left
side, and a formation of great guam
titles of gas.
AS long as there is particle
OF the malarial poison left in
the system, not only will the ague
cake continue to disturb the function
of the other organs, but the enlarged
organs tends to perpetuate the poison
in the system,
1t seems to be a settled fact that
Pe-ru-na is the most reliable, if not
the only remedy that can be relied on
that cleanse the system in cases of
chronic malaria. 1t never fails to
bring relief to these disagreeable
symptoms, and if a regular course of
Pe-ru-na is taken it does not fail to
permanently cure.
In order to furnish the public a
complete knowledge of the affect of
Pe-ru-na in old cases of chronic mala-
ria The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing
Company of Columbus, Ohio, have
published an illustrated pamphlet ON
chronic malaria, which will be sent
free to any address.
