Richard i. Pettigrew's political cam

Pettigrew's entry into The House as a

Bird Protectors
Are Around

Complaint has been made to the
Salem Bird Society of the whole
sale killing in the Kaiser neighborhood
of harmless song birds, such as the
Purple Finch, Summer Warblers and
Waxwings. In justification Of his pro
miscuous slaughtering of birds, the
farmer, whose name was not learned,
claims that the birds were destroying
his cherries, but the complaint is not
accepted as substantial for the reason
that the cherry crop has not ripened,
and the birds do not disturb the fruit
until It has matured. Officers of the

one dreaded disease that science has

that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known
to the medical fraternity. Catarrh be-
ing a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca

directly upon the blood and mucous

Government by Grub.

While the Senate refuses to con
slider the general demand of the peo-
pie of the United States for a change
I'm the method of electing members OF
that body, there are many signs which
go to indicate that before long, not
only the Senate. but the House OF
Representatives as well, may receive
gentle Jolt that will cause members
of these august bodies who imagine
that they are little bigger than the
people to take tumble to them
selves" to use a vulgar phrase. The
celebrated steering committee" OF
congress recently received a little jar
of this kind, which gave it quite a
shock. More recently, the committee
on rules of the House, which has
been under the impression that 1t was
running things, was forced to make
an ignominious backdown, and agreed
to appoint a day for the consideration
OF several measures of Importance,
including the Pacific cable bill and
rumblings of late among the independ-
ent members of Congress, somewhat
similar to the promonitory symptoms
which foreshadowed the outbreak OF
Mont Peee, and the would-be bosses
at washington are wise in recogniz-
ing these symptoms, which are but an
evidence of discomfort with present
rules and regulations that has long
been accumulating.
Il is indeed high time that there
should be something of a reform in
congressional methods and a return
to something like the democratic sim
plicltly and straightforwardness which
marked the early days congress. We
have had of late a little too much OF
steering committees and senatorial
courtesy. Indeed It has got to the
point where the speaker of the House
has become such an autocrat that al
individual member of congress has
not the ghost of show of securing
hearing for a measure, unless HI
stands in the good graces Of tina
official. If this is democratic govern
ment. then It is a queer kind of De
mocracy
D AS to the Senate, II has been as
suming too much the character of
% rich mans club. An amusing in
stance of this kind was recently re
ported in a dispatch to the Time
from Washington. For many week
