F. n. Beacon, of the Beacon Medi-
cine company, passed last week in
visiting all the towns on the North
Western road west Of the river. He
reports in all towns evidences could
be seen Of a general revival in bust
ness or increased trade; that new
business houses were opening in
towns, new houses were being erected,
and that new houses upon farm lands
were everywhere in view. From a
business point his trip into the Hills
was decidedly successful, having sold
more than four tons Of medicine,
manufactured by his company. Mr..
Beacon was in the grand stand at

COUNTY oFFIcIAL PAPER
MARTINS MANLY POSITION.

It Is noted that Congressman Mar
tin has placed himself on record as
being In full accord with the president
in the matter Of tariff revision. While
Congressman Martin modestly re-
marks that he does not imagine that
the conference committee is fainting
with anxiety to learn..of his views on
the subject of the tariff, he states
them clearly and along the lines laid
down by the administration. His
closing statement sums up the situa-
ton concisely and fairly, and is as
follows: 'My suggestion, from re-
publican standpoint, is that this con-
ference committee, representing the
republican majority in the House.
shall, as Tar rs possible, accept the
Senate amendments where they scale
down the Payne rates and insist upon
the House provisions where they are
lower than the amendments proposed
by the Senate. In some particulars
the Senate amendments are remark
able, and 1t seems to me an unneces-
: sary advance both upon the Payne
rates and the rates in the Dingley
schedule, and as a republican, while
expecting to respect the Judgment of
the majority of my part when we have
an opportunity to express it here
upon any Of these schedules. feel it
proper to suggest that we follow out
as far Las possible principal of this
kind, and there may come out Of this
conference bill which, while it can
not Esuit all Of us, will measure at
least meet the reasonable expecta-
tions Of the people Of the country. AS
one Of those who have been here since
the legislation commenced in the
House in the month of March, / am
willing to stand by Serene E. Payne
and the House conferees in an effort
honestly to carry out that policy,
even IL we may be forced to remain
here until the first Monday in Decem-
Der, when the new session will begin. =
The tone of Mr.. Martins speech has
the right sort Of g. ring and it is re-
GREETED that he could not have been
allowed q longer time to debate upon
the question in issue.

The question of the taxation of
mortgages is a very delicate thing and
far reaching one. If mortgages were
taxed all over the country, the plan
might work out we'll, as the tendency
would to discourage the borrowing of
money for speculative land deals, but
for any one county or any one Estate
to undertake the Inauguration of this
plan would be unwise. Minnehaha
county is about to force the collec-
ton of tax upon mortgages.

Defors the senate can pass on the ap-

Senators Gamble and Crawford still
insist on regarding the supervisors as

appoints belong to them. Both sides

Webster. pr...ne. Of Mind.

Once when Daniel Webster was ad-
dressing political meeting in Faneuil
hall the standing multitude within the
hall, pressed by those who were en-
deavoring to enter from without, be-
gan to sway to and fro, solid mass
Of human bodies, as helpless to coun-
teract the movement as II Faneuil
hall were being rocked by an earth
quake. The orator was in the midst
Of stirring appeal. urging the neces-
sity Of individual exertion and I'M.
finching patriotism to avert the dan
gers that threatened the political
party whose principles he espoused,
when he perceived the terrible swaying
Of the packed assembly and the I'm
minent danger that might ensue.
Webster stopped short in the middle
Of sentence, advanced to the edge
Of the platform, extended his arm in
an authoritative attitude and, In q
stentorian voice of command, cried
out, "Let each man stand firmp' The
effect was instantaneous. Each man
stood hrm. the great, heaving mass Of
humanity regained its equilibrium,
and, save the long breath Of relief that
filed the air. perfect stiffness ensued.

CAUSES DEBILITY
Here Are Facts Backed Up BY a Strong
Guarantee

Debility is caused by catarrh. In our
opinion, person free from Catarrh was
never troubled with Debility. Debility can
never be cured by medicine not designed
to cure Catarrh. We positively guarantee
to cure Catarrh, and thus cure Debility. 4
In every case where we fail to effect cure,
we will not charge cent for the medicine
employed during the trial. Now, surely
no one should hesitateto believe US or to
put our claim to apractical test under such
conditions. We take all the risk, ;-no one
else can lose anything by the transac ton.
We make these statements and this
offer because we know and have time and
again proved that Rexall Mucu-Tone will
cure Catarrh. 1t is designed for that one
particular purpose. 1t is not cure-alli
prescribed to cure every disease that flesh
IS heir to. 1t is specific. Rexall Mucu-
Tone is absorbed in the stomach and
carried by the blood until it penetrates
every part of the body, acting as an anti
septic, disinfecting, cleansing, soothing
and healing agent. 1t rids the system Of
all germ and poisonous matter, purifes
and enriches the blood, rebuilds injured
tissues, cleanses and invigorates the muco-
cells, neutralizes the acids of the body,
stops mucus discharge, tones up the entire
system, promotes nutrition, increases body
weight, and brings about feeling of health
fulness that is lasting.
We have Rexall Mucu.Tone in two
sizes. Prices soc. and sI.oo. We urge yoU
to TRY bottle on our guarantee.

FALLS FROM TOP OF HOUSE
AND is PAINFULLY HURT

MILTON, Ore, Dec. 16.-(SpecialO
Jack GroOms, of this city, had
narrow escape from death today when
he fell from the top of a butcher shop
he was moving, to the ground be'ow,
a distance of IA feet. Both bones in
his right arm were fractured and his
body was otherwise bruised. He will
recover.
The building belongs to Terwilliger
& Richards, and they decided they
would rather do business in Free
water than Milton, so employed
Grooms to move the business block.
Grooms put the structure on wheels
and pressed into service a powerful
engine to haul it. This morning
Grooms was standing on the roof OF
the building seeing that it cleared all
telephone and telegraph wires, when
he lost his footing and plunged to

community is incapable of enforce

Dces> anyone think that with liquor
sold at will in wholesale quantities,
sold at restaurants and hotels, that ii
will not be obtainabe in almost any
quantity and at any time by anyone
who wishes it? The business men
of the city are so sure that such will
be the case that they have outlined
platform on which they are standing,
which will regulate the saloons in the
best manner possible, will do away
with the most Objectionable features
of the saloon and will put the city in
much better shape financially than if
the saloons were entirely abolished.
And to this end they have pledged
themselves to work. They have great
interests at stake, and they will suf-
fer most. by ineffective radical eeisIa-
ton made by those who are not so
interested. Consequently, we think
they can be trusted to carry out their
program e given the opportunity.

enactment under it may be evaded
with scarcely let or hindrance; hence
believe that in towns where the
liquor selling and liquor drinking ele-
ment forms factor of public impor-
lance the enactment of prohibition I'M
der this law will fail practically to
that the state would be worse than the
first, viz: an untaxed evil left in the
main in disreputables hands without
being materially lessened.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
heartily favor the principle of the To-
cal option law-that of placing the sale
of Intoxicating liquor under local con-
trol. and taking the prohibition ques-
ton out of territorial politics.
These conclusions have been slowly
reached from practical contact with
the world, rather than theoretical
dreaming and the idealistic reasoning
peculiar to very many well meaning
and intensely jealous people who some
how fail to connect theory with prac-
tice Satisfactory results are more to
be desired than fine-spun book the
cries. Moses, the great law giver, re-
corded the Divine command, permit
ted diyorce-not because it was right.
per Sc, but because it was best, con-
sidering the perverseness and wicked
ness of the people.

From Another Standpoint

Walla Walla, w. T., June "a, 1886.
Editor Statesman
AS visitor to eastern Washington
take pleasure in voicing my delight
surroundings and the enterprising, in
telligent citizens who constituta it's
cially noteworthy, as indicating Tive
town"-because it is O we'll known fact
article in journalism as it appreciates
and is willing to support. At your kind
briefly, upon the all-absorbing topic
just now agitating the people, viz
hte election under the
Local Option Law.
AS Good Templar for eighteen
years. of a strictly orthodox church, I
have paid more than usual attention
to all great moral reform questions,
including that connected with the liq-
uor traffic. While deeply impressed
with the evils wrought by the rum
power, and anxious that the moral tone
of society be everywhere elevated,
nevertheless I conclude:
1st-It is impracticable to legislate
morals into men as you would legis-
late against crime. People are just
perverse enough to want that which
is denied them.
2nd-The true mission and policy of
temperance people is to make society
better by example, by precept and
moral suasion.
3d-Every radical change in the con-
ditions of society, especially in the
matter of legislation with a reforma-
tory object, should be brought about
only by overwhelming pressure of pub
lie opinion. 1t is worse than useless
to enact laws on moral questions in
advance of public sentiment, as the
result inevitably shows a breeding of
disrespect for law without lessening
the evil sought to be prevented
4th-I am convinced upon a careful
examination of the local option law
that it is faulty in that prohibitory
