convention, held at Pendleton, on
Saturday last, was without doubt
the most business like and har-
moniously conducted of any held
before in the history of the county.
Perfect harmony prevailed from
start to finish. Every nomination
made was unanimous.
G. B. Leatherman, of Weston,
was chosen chairman, and with
the able assistance of the secretar-
les, the business Of the convention
was conducted in most expedit-
ious and satisfactory manner.
The various committees did their
work in an able manner, and taken
all in all, the democratic county
convention of 1896 will go down in
convention record as being most
ably conducted, harmoniously
blended and absolutely free from
schemes, wire-pulling, etc. To the
East Oregonian we are indebted
for the following complete report
of the proceedings Of the conven-
tion:
Democratic delegates met at the
court house Friday evening and
held an informal conference. Col
E D Boyd presided and made a
short address in opening. Then
various delegates from all over the
county were called on and sugges-
tions were made regarding the
ticket and platform to be made the
next day. The one prevailing
sentiment was in favor of harmony
in the convention, by no means
barring rivalry for nominations,
but a spirit which called for an
open and above board contest for
places on the ticket and then a
united and enthusiastic party to
support the ticket and prosecute a
vigorous campaign. About rs
delegates attended the caucus and
there was an admirable spirit OF
harmony and interest was intense.
The general opinion was that a
convention conducted on the lines
laid down would insu-e the naming
of a winning ticket. No specific
actior was taken by the caucus,
and an adjournment was taken st
10 o'clock. The delegates went to
their hotels and spent an hour or
SO in discussing the various issues.
1t was generally conceded that
Senator J HI Raley would have the
state delegation favorable to him
for the nomination, provided he
decided TO make the run. Between
A D Stillman and T G HALEY, very
shatp rivalry existed for the state
delegation, which each one wanted
for the district judgeship. The
delegates were generally canvassed
and every effort made to secure a
majority. This was the chief con-
test, the other candidates being
less insistent.
The convention was called to
order at 1910 a. m. by C P Davis.
The court house was comfortably
filed, the bald-headed row being
occupied by three faithful populists,
DIR. Garfield. Nathan Pierce and
Sam Tillard.
In calling the convention tc
order Mr. Davis said:
'For many years the democrat.

Reader, did you ever take SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR, the "KINa OF
LIVER MEDICINES ?" Everybody needs
take liver remedy. It is a sluggish or
diseased liver that impairs digestion
and causes constipation, when the waste
that should be carried off remains in
the body and poisons the whole system.
That dull, heavy feeling is due to a
torpid liver. Biliousness, Headache,
Malaria and Indigestion are all liver
diseases. Keep the liver active by an
occasional dose of Simmons Liver Reg
ulator and you'll get rid of these trou-
bles, and give tone to the whole sys-
tenn. For q laxative Simmons Liver
Regulator is BETTER THAN Pills. It
does not grippe, nor weaken, but greatly
refreshes and strengthens.
Every package has the Red z
stamp on the wrapper. y. III.

Some of ShakesDeare's wonderful creations
lend an ideal interest to places, those from
the Two Gentlemen of Verona and Romeo
and Juliet especially. This great valley is
remarkably productive country. l do
not think l ever saw SO much on one acre,
unless in Los Angeles, as there; trellised
vines, fruit trees and crop under all. 1t

are reported to be fine as engineering

This productive country is cursed with a
peculiar disease called the pellagra. 1t ia

Venice nor the Po valley have even a toler-
able climate for comfort, ana here we may
dispose of the entire Italian shore of the
Adratic and cast it into outer darkness for
the climate seeker. Tuscany is another
rich country of Italy not climatically popu-
lar. The art treasures of Florence, The
tower of Pisa. and the old republic fights
between these two, together with the
strange stories of their Albizzis, Medics,
Borgias and powerful families, make up

popularity and the name of the ''fever

Abe ut Real Estate

The auction sale of lots on East Twenty
seventh and Twenty-eighth streets at 2
o'clock Wednesday,, January 10, is new
departure in the line of real estate sales
and will afford rare opportunity for
seekers for moderate priced property to
secure neautiful lot on very easy terms
and low prices. Instead of offering the
stereotyped forty or fifiy-foot lot the own
ers give buyers the chance of purchasing
any amount of frontage from 30 to 100
feet. The streets are being graded and
graveled and have cement sidewalks and
curbs. The property adjoins the Briswal-
ter tract and is one of the Oldest orange
groves in the county. SO that each lot will
be covered with large, handsome trees.
Building restrictions of $3.50 are imposed
which will secure good class of hous es
and make it desirable residence section.
Subscriptions for the building of a cross
town elec ric line on Twenty-seventh
street to Main and Thirtieth to Hoover are
being Literally made, SO the road is almost
an assured fact. The auction will take
place on Wednesday on the premises at 2
o'clock.

estly desire to produce wealth by their
own efforts are prevented from doing
so, except upon such terms as are die

listing conditions no man is cleft free

can be truly free while denied freedom
of access to that natural element to

without which none can live. The

cause they are Industrious. punished

robbed because they are not robbers,
and poll-taxed because they are not

tective tariffs restrict trade, reward
perjury, encourage rascality, increase
the cost of living, debsuch public NOR

to build up vast fortunes at the eX-
pense of the masses. This country is
suffering untold ills through class
legislation. What it needs is legisia-
tion not for the rich nor for the poor,
but for all alike, insuring to all an
equal opportunity to make the most of

legislation has done that, we as ma

The drivers of the fire department
may be vocaliferously able, but never
theless loud verbal intimation of the
approach of rushing fire engine or
hose cart is quite insufficient for the
purpose Of obtaining right of way
through crowded street when going
to a fire. This fact was evidenced yes
terday by the smashing of buggy on
Spring street, near Temple, by Park
Hose No. 1, and the impeciling of in
Vulnerable other vehicles. to say moth
ing of the people who thronged the
crossings of the busiest part of the
thoroughfare at that time. Whether
the gong that is supposed to be at
tached to the hose wagon WAS absent or
forgotten by the crew of the wagon we
do not know, but at any rate no notice
was given of the coming of the heavy
vehicle at race-horse speed, other than
the cries of the men aboard, and in
consequence many people we're una
ware of their danger until it was almost
too late. Most positive instructions
should be given the men who man fire
department vehicles to keep up an in
cessant sounding of their gongs when
fastening to fire and thus lessen the
danger to life, limb and property on
public streets.

Mr.. Conkllng Again

EDITOR HERALD: With reference to the
article of William Louder appearing in
THE HERALD of January 10th, desire to
say that if Mr.. Louder does not know bet
ter than to accuse me of being the mouth
piece of any Redondo Beach clique, will
inform him that my article was written by
reason of the fact that when last spring
Constable Blanchard arrested a we'll
known resident of Redondo, who had
lived there some years with his wife, and
charged him with vagrancy, although in
my humble opinion he was no more a va
grant than Mr.. Louder, and although he
did not plead guilty and was never con-
victed. no great newspaper favored him
with an editorial "burn up'' then, or even
noticed the matter, but believe one news
paper commended him for it; but whe an
old soldier was lawfully arrested and plead
ed guilty great hullabaloo was raised about
The matter. Such gross inequality thought
ought not to pass unnotced and wrote ac-
cordingly. In fact | think the officers de-
serve criticism in the present case for hav-
ing so negligently drawn the commitment
or other papers as to allow the prisoner to
escape on habeas corpus. Enough persons
escape the punishment they deserve with
out allowing any to get away on habeas
corpus after they have pleaded guilty. I
am inclined to think that the particular
crime committed in this instance was set
tied when the old soldier entered his plea
of guilty.
Furthermore. although I do not hail from
any of the places mentioned by Mr.. Louder
| would consider it no dishonor if 1 did, and
if were justice of the peace at Redondo
and Mr.. Louder should plead guilty before
me to vagrancy should impose the same
sentence whether he came to Redondo be-
fore the sand crabs and CLAIMS or arrived on
the last steamer. He should receive the
same dose whether he were a "Blarsted
Britisher" just arrived in the steerage or
one of that clique who claim to have a
monopoly of all the Americanism in the
world. He should receive the same pun
ishment whether he were an old soldier or
one whose arrival on life's stage,was far too
recent to have permitted him to have
shared in the triumphs of the late war.
And if he were an old soldier, should not
as suggested by an old soldier friend of
mine, give him ten days extra for having
disgraced his uniform by pleading guilty to
vagrancy. Yours for equality before the
law, NJ. w. CONKLING.

The commissioners who have re-
ceived these trifing amounts are we'll
known citizens. Their names have al
ready been printed in The HERALD, and
the list was surprise. It included
the names of men who have been ac-
credited with common honesty and re-
sponsibility in the community. No
one would have surmised for moment
that these men would have descended
to the petty peculations disclosed by
the present Investigation.
An attempt is being made to throw
all of the ignominy attaching to the
exposure of this petit larceny upon w.
G. Schneider, the clerk of all of the
commissions. This man Schreiber will
have heavy load to bear in carrying
and answering for the crooked trans
actions which are found chargeable
against him as result of the investi-
cation. But he is not alone. No indi-
vidual should be spared in this matter.
Every man guilty of taking single
dollar not justly his should be held up
to public scorn and made to return to
the treasury the money he has stolen.
The revelations concerning this con-
temptible thieving only 60 to show
what has been and is yet going on at
the city hail, and at the county court
house as we'll. But as long as the ring
is as thoroughly entrenched in power
as it now is, nothing can be hoped for
which promises permanent relief.
Occasionally some argus-eyed re.
porter will run across piece of pal
pable corruption, fraud or bribery and
expose it to the best of his ability. But
from official sources there will come
no aid for those who desire to run
official scoundrels to earth. Those
who attempt it are threatened and
browbeaten by the very people who
should give them advice and counsel.
Ii, by chance, soma clumsy scoun-
drel grows too bold and his criminal
practices come to light, he is given all
the protection possible from the very
officials whose sworn duty it is to send
the derelict to San Quentin. Gran d
jury Investigations are rendered abort
i've and ridiculous by the failure OF
the proper officials to cooperate
with that body. When those officials
accepted their trusts they obligated
themselves to do this very thing. But
what of that? They must "stand in"
with the ring or ba "turned down" in
the next convention. To stand in, a
cloak must be thrown over all official
criminality and abuse of trust. This
is the situation today.
The present exposure at the city
hall is bad enough, but it is really
trif1ing compared with what can be
ascertained if proper effort is maze.
By all means let the good work 90 on.
Gentlemen Of the council, you have a
golden opportunity.

The STATE of Colorado is doing

The STATE of Colorado is doing
good deal Of Dragging just at present
about leading California as a gold
producer. The output of the former
state is reckoned at $17,340,495 for
1895, while that of California for the
same period figures out about $l5,6OO,-
600. AS we predicted some time since
would be the case, the commonwealth
of Teller and Tabor is getting into the
goldbug camp with alacrity. But Cali
fornis may view the other states de-
velopment in yellow metal prod
with equanimity, for she has golden

night order, that Of the orange grove

THE REAL DUTY OF GOVERN
MENT

The Iron Chancellor, Prince Bis
marck, again takes occasion to differ
from his imperious sovereign, if the
European csbiegrams are to be be-
lieved. An article said to be inspired
by him and disappearing of the EN-
peror's Transvaal policy. has appeared
in the Hamburger Nachrichten. This
article closes with the statement that
"the duty OF the government is more
to defend the internal and external
peace of the country against disturb
ances than to promote foreign enter
prises." This proposition whether in-
spired by the prince or not, is indis-
putable and should be pondered on
with exceeding seriousness by multi
tude of people on both sides of the At
lantic. 1t is especially entitled to the
careful consideration of the Hale, Frye
and Lodge tribe of statesmen who

the distance of the moon from the sun.
Then the quantity of light received by
Mars may be expressed by M2-R2; and
the relative quantity received by the moon
by m2-r2. But these lights when reflect
ed to the earth must be diminished by the
squares of the distances of these two
bodies from the earth. Now, if we put d
to represent the distance OF Mars from the
earth, and the distance of the moon, we
shall have M2-R2 D2 for the relative
illumination by Mars when the whole en-
= -lightened face of that planet is towards the
earth, and M2-r2 d2 for the light of the
full moon. Whom the whole illuminated
side of Mars is turned towards the earth,
which is the case under consideration (if
we take the whole diameter of the body it
is then in opposition to the sun, and gives
us ligh;-we know not how much, as
we have no standard of measure for it:
but one can make a comparative measure
of one by the other. and therefore the light
of Mars in this position may be taken as
unity, and i'll comparison let us call the
light of the full moon y; then M2-R2 D2:
M2-r2d2::l X, therefore equals (M2-
M2) (R2-r2) (D2-d2). AS the values of
n fraction depends only on the relative nu-
nerator to the denominator, to find the
numeral value of X it will be sufficient to
seek the relation of M to NJ, of r to r, and
of d to d..
NJ equals 1000 miles nearly, and M
equals 215O; hence NM equals 1880.
B equals IA. 4.O0O,O00, and equals 95,-
O00,00O; or Br equals 144-95. ID equals
100000 minus 95,OOO,OOO equals
49, 900, 900, or Da equals 100000; there
fore X equals (43-SO) 2 G44-95) .
(4900-2D 2 equals 27,611. That is in
round numbers.
The light of the full moon is 27,6OO
times the light of Mars, when that planet
is brightest, in its opposition to the sun.
Then when astronomers cannot tell what
is on the moon with so much more light,
how in common sense can they tell what
is on Mars? l will add that there is not
region on all earth that is not infinitely
more comfortable for man than the most
favored region of Mars.

EDITOR HERALD:-Over year ago there
was much written on the poss bility of the
planet Mars being inhabited 1t is impos-
slble to see body in space without light,
and space is very dark. The SUMS light
reflected by Mars is indeed small, owing
to it's great distance and the small surface
of that body. If there are any inhabitants
on Mars it would be necessary for us to
erect an electric globe six miles in diame-
ter in full blaze, in order to be seen by
them, as a signal station. Let us examine
what small portion of the suns reflected
light we receive from Mars. The surfaces
of globular bodies are in proportion to the
squares OF their diameters. Now let M
represent the diameter of Mars and m the
diameter of the moon. Also let r represent
the distance of Mars from the sun, and
