A coneressman's Pay and Duties.
The absence of members of either
house of Congress from their seats is
too often spoken Of as if all the as-
sentees were engaged ON business OF
their own, and neglecting that OF
their constituents; and we constantly
read what are intended to be sharp
rcproofs of our representatives, based
upon tho assumption that when they
arc not in their seats they are neg
Letting their public duties. The
usual remedy proposed is a deduction y,
from evory congressman's pay for all
the time that he neglects to devote &c
his country's service.
We have not heen remiss in urg-
ing upon Congress to hurry up tariff
legislation. Indeed, we believe that
tho Dispatch was one of the firs'
papers in the land to dwell upon the
Importance of an early settlement o.
that question. But it must not be
forgotten that our Virginia reprcsen-
taiives spend great deal of time IN
waiting personally upon their con
stitucnts who visit Washington City
for one purpose and another. In
deed, we suspect that they Hrml,
hold to the opinion that they would
earn all the pay they get if they did
nothing but second the efforts OF peo'
pie from their several districts to Sc
cure employment in the government
service. Day after day our tele'
graphic columns testify that MIR.
Jones, of the First District, or Dir
Tyler, of the Second, or Mr.. Wise
Of the Third, or some other Virgins
Congressman, has been pressing upon
the head Of some department the
claims of certain of his constituents
to places under the National Gov
ernment. In like manner, these
same congressman have to attend to
the requests of delegations of thor
constituents sent to Washington to
see that peanuts, Irish potatoes, oil
sumac, tobacco, iron ore, coal, and
what not arc put upon the free list
Again, congressman's duties arc
not confined to the work of constitu.
cnts when these happen to visit
Washington. 1t is just as impor.
tant part of his duties to prevent
bad legislation as it is to promote
good legislation. Much of the time
which a congressman spends out Of
his seat is devoted to committee du'
ties, if he happens to be on a com
mittee empowered to sit during the
sitting of Congress. Much more Of
his time is spent in appearing before
committees of which he is not a
member to prevent legislation which
would be injurious to business inter
ests in his own district.
In word, congressman's place
is not sinecure. He has no time
tp spare from his duties, though these
duties may not always keep him in
his seat. Let us not over-work him,
nor censurc him for not being at one
and the same moment in the hall of
the House of Representatives. and in
one Of the Observation-Disclosures
Dispatch.

THE PRESS.

RlcH.oSD DISPATCH 1t pains us
to read in the New Orleans Times
Democrat the statement that "ncver
before has the sugar industry been IN
so critical and dangerous a condition
as now; and that paper adds that
it will take all the efforts OF the
friends of sugar to prevent the des-
truction of an industry upon which
half the population Of the State de-
ponds fol- living.
1t is straight in which theLoulsl-
ana people find themselves when they
are asked to agree in the interest OF
the Democratic party to the destruc-
ton of an industry which provides
the means of living to half their own
number. If it depends upon the votes
Of the Louisiana congressman wheth-
er this shall be done or not, we take
it that it will never be done. How
ever, let us await time with pa
tience, as the sugar men hope to be
literally treated by Congress.
The President Againgt the Income
Tax.
The Washington Post of ycster-
day reports that the President de-
cIarcd to two gentlemen on Wcdnes-
day last that he was opposed to the
income tax. This report is based
upon the authority of a senator, who
vouchcs for its accuracy.
We arc not surprised to learn that
the President is opposed to the in
come tax. 1t has never been clear
to us that such tax would be levied
by the present Congress. Neverthe-
less, Mr.. Cleveland may follow the
example of 3lr. Mills, who says that
lie does not like all the features of
the Voorhees, bill, but intends to vote
for it.
Certainly there arc strong reasons
why the tariff question should as
soon as possible be disposed of, not
only for the present Congress, but for
the whole term of President Clcve-
land. The clamor for the removal
Of this rock of offence is increasing
rather than diminishing. The Post
says:
"Probably the best thing that
could happen to the country would
be the prompt passage Of the bill on
the details of which debate of indeh-
mite length has now opened. 1t can
never be made perfect measure, or
i'll all respects satisfactory even to
the party which has it in charge"
But the Republicans in Congress
will not let that be done. 1t is for
the Democrats to remedy tn, wrong
of the situatian.-Riichmond Dis

And What ~i!l Happen Then?


If an international agreement for
himetuIism $honl.i he arrived At, it
would, Of course, provide ono ratio,
leave France with her ratio
Of fifteen and one-half to one, and
America with her ratio of sixteen to
one. y uniform ratio would need to
be adopted for all. Very well. When
this is agreed on, what shall he the
next step? Shall coinage Of silver be
left where it u.s. or shall each country
be allowed to coin certain sum each
year, or shall the minis of all coun-
tries be thrown open to the free
coinage of all the silver that is
brought to them? We know, OF
course, that neither Of the first two
propositions will suit the silver men,
and an International argument rest
ing upon either of them would ac-
complish actually nothing. The
fight would go on for free coinage al
ter that agreement was made just as
actively as before. The silver men
must have absolutely free coinage or
nothing. Consequently, we appre-
bend, that the international agree
ment, lift is ever made, will be for
entirely free coinage at ratio for the
whole world Of, say, sixteen to one.
What must happen when this
takes place? We can now mine as
much silver in this country as neccs-
sary tomake a silver dollar on the
basis of sixteen to one, for about
fifty cents in gold. This proceeds
from two causes; first, the richness
of our mines, and, second, the great
improvements that have been made
in raising and smelling ores. Ii,
then, we can continne to get a dollar
by spending fifty cents there is no
probability that the industry of min
ing silver will fall into decay. On
the contrary, it will certainly become
more active than it has ever been.
Bnt, under thestimulus of such enor-
nous profits, new mines will be hunt
ed all over the face Of the earth, and
processes will be improved still fur
Their until the very latest possible
refinement is made, How ne can

Compulsory Vaccination.
From the Chicago Times J

(From the Chicago Iimes)
To the EprToR: In this mornings
Times an editorial paragraph advo.
Gates enforcing vaccination in Mil
waukee. DR.. Charles f. Ely OF this
city says: 81 don't believe in vaccina-
ton little bit. I believe that many
aud terrible diseases are introduced
by this means and that it is not q
preventive OF smallpox. l was once
connected with a smallpox hospital
where twenty eight out OF the thirty.
two nurses were not vaccinated and
not one of them took the disease.
Fumigation and absolute cleanliness
are the best safeguards. IL is time
halt was called in the vaccination
business"
Over thirty years ago DR.. John
Epps Of London, who had for
twenty years been director OF the
Jennerian institute, and who had
vaccinated about 10000 people, de-
clared that "The vaccine virus Is .
poison. As such il penetrates all
organic systems and infects them in
such way as to act Progressively on
the pox. 1t is neither antidote nor
corrigent, nor does II neutralize the
smallpox, but only paralyzes the ex-
pansive power of good constitu-
ton, SO that the disease has TO fall
back upon the mucous membrane.
Nobody has the right to transplant
such mischieyous poison compul.
sorily into the life of q child"
These are but specimens of large
amount OF testimony adverse to
compulsory vaccination. Do not
people have the right to refuse vac.
cination on the strength OF such
testimony! Would you compel such
an experienced physician as DR.. Ely
to be vaccinatedi Surely il will not
be held that because anti-vaccipa.
tionists are 10 the minority they for.
felt their rights. Judge Gsynor OF
the Supreme Court OF New York
has decided against compulsion, say.
ing: Arbitrary power Is abhorrent
to our system OF government"
There has been a gradual weaken.
ing in the claim Of protection from
smallpox by vaccination, so that
now II Is practiced by some even a.
often IS once year, with the
further admission that some people
cannot be protected at all.
II Is respectfully submitted tha,
SO fair a newspaper as The Timel
makes q mistake in advocating com
pulsory vaccination.

LUC0L :.
. | t, AZ; ; ;;ii
Save Half the Amount Of Your Oil
Bill Through Saving in Pigment.
Every painter should use LUcoL in
stead Of Linseed Oil, because:
oil, /. LucoI is more durable than L'n'''d
q. LpcoL is more economical, than Lin
seed Oil.
PROOF THAT LUCOL Is MORE
DURABLE.
Six years OF actual use in exterior
house painting in California (the
most trying climate for paints, in
the burning heat Of the Arizona Des-
ert, the Arctic cold Of Alaska. and on
the Atlantic coast, have fully and
practically shown that LUCoL always
outwears Linseed Oil under the same
conditions. All the acid works in
San Francisco have discarded Lin.
seed Oil for LUcoL.
ILLUSTRATE THIS YOURSELF.
Put strong ammonia on Linsecd and
Lucol paints. The Linseed paints
are destroyed in a few minutes; the
Lucol paints are practically unafiect
ed.
PROOF THAT LUCOL Is MORE
ECONOMICAL.
Break up II lbs. paste white lead
In one pint Of LUcoL, and the same
quantity in one pint Of Linseed Oil
Spread the paints on similar dark
surfaces for comparison. The Luco
paint spreads as far as and cover,
much better than the Linseed paint
To get equally good covering with the
Linsced paint you have 10 use "a lbs
Of white lead TO one pint Of Linseet
Oil. This means a saving Of ID. o.
paste lead TO each pint Of LucoL used
or 9 lbs. TO every gallon, equivalent
TO your saving more than half the
first cost OF the LUcoL.
LuooL is not in competition with
cheap Linseed Oil substitutes.
