! MONDAYS fire demonstrated the
fact that while Salem has as
active, energetic set of workers as
ever extinguished flame, their
facilities are sadly deficient and
should be perfected as fast as city
of Salem's proportions could go
about it. They are volunteers;
their efforts are self sacrificing, tire
some and very dangerous at times,
so the city should do all in its power
to make their labors as light, quick
and effective as possible. They
have two good engines, but the task
is immense to transport them great
distances by hand power to scenes
of confagation and then go through
the ordeal of fighting the fire, saw
ing property, and so forth. There
should be a good team of horses
always ready beside each engine to
take there places at the sound Of the
alarm, thus causing no delay by the
non-arrival of the men. We believe
the city can afford to purchase two
good teams and that the Taxpayers
would cheerhllly pay their quota of
the expense, feeling II was wisely
created.

To illustrate that this was no
chimera of an enthusiast or a pessl-
mist, but that is a reflection OF tne
condition of things throughout the
whole country, as viewed by the
coolest heads and ablest thinkers
we clip the following, taken from
the n. Y. Tribune of the 22nd, and
which is exactly in line with the
words of Mr. Gregg, away here IN
Salem six days before;
What is the trouble in business
then? Simply this, that there are
a great many other people who 90
believe that Mr.. Mills, Mr.. Carlisle
and Mr.. Cleveland can get a bill
passed In that belief they defer
purchases. In consequence mllls
and mines, factories and workshops,
lack orders and have to stop. The
result is a depression, losses OF mil
lions every month to laborers and
to employers, and ultimate loss also
to the people who will have to buy
when the market is crowded with
orders. That has been the expe9r-
ience year after year ever since uhe
free-trade Democrats gained power.
They have agitated every winter
long enough to cost the country
many millions, and then have gone
home disgraced by their incapacity.
Don't you forget it, farmers and
workingmen, every day Of DEM
ocratic rule is costing you your
bread and butter.

the political ranks in Marion county
and that every soldier is expected to

holding high seats in the state and
national synagogues, feeding upon

terness Of long disappointment
caused by republican loyalty, repub-
lican efficiency and republican

out, "Oh, Lord, why cannot we, too,
get II hand into the public money
box so close under our very eyes and

dogsp Do not for moment mis-
take the wild anxiety of the demo

whilo he grinnlngly tells you he
cannot expect anything from "a cor
raj so faithfully guarded, yet he
hopes he will get it Just the same.
He has buoyant expectations that
factions and personal interests may
arise to dlvldethe republican Gordon,
between the breaks of which he may
succeed In sneaking his way; he
prays that what may be a failure by
this method may be accomplished
through the encouragement of side

publican army, thus weakening it's
strength and leaving 50 many

The CAPITAL JOURNAL If Issued
to-day ia the interests Of the republi-
can party, succeeding the Oregon
sentry. Right here the bright
habiliaments Of neutrality are laid
aside forever and the good old
champion Of prohibition goes down
To the sirioise und fury of political
war The tocsin has sounded and
the battle has begun. In the van OF
the conflict the CAPITAL JOURNAL
,slll be seen holding aloft the BAN
ner Of true republicanism, and fight
ing for the principles Of the noblest
and greatest party the world has
ever known.
The republican party Is the party
Of progress, the party that lives In
to-day, the party that is for the
protection Of the laborlng man, the
party that Is for free ballot and n
full count. Twenty-elght years ago
this party planted Itself upon a
single sentiment-the preservation
Of the union. Around this central
ideE the best and brnvest of the
nation rallied with unprecedented
enihusinsm. That creed, simple,
pure and strong, became the soul Of
the party. Il withstood the loud
anger Of battle and the storms Of
revolution aud carried its defenders,
finally, up 10 the bright days OF
victory. Vast bodies of men will
not cohere unless there Is one great
purpose dwelling within TO which
their affections are all oentered.
This has been the forte of the
republican party They have oc-
cupied the vantage ground of
progress, They have policy, clear
and defined NJ the sun which shines
Ia the heaven aud IL creed is to It's
followers u- is The polur star to the
mariner
ON the other hand the Democratic
party has no great prlnciple-thls Is
this is its misfortune They new
ar had a creed and have none to-day
upon which they can hang together.
Their propositions are al NEGATIVES.
They erlticlse but never originate.

The sa1e Id stnn1n,.d ,rn,l,a

Recently table was published, giving the
comparative saie5 OF authors, as gathered
from the business Of a prominent concern. A
reporter obtained from q salesman in the en-
ploy Of a large news company Of New York,
a list of sales based on the number OF comics
of Charles Dickens works that are sold bv
that firm The following table shows that
The company sells on the average:
Dickens, 600; Mary J. Holmes. 400: Louisa
N. Alcott, 4jO; Sir Walter Scott. $50; Thack-
cray, so; Bulwer, so; Mrs. z. D. n. South

D. Howells, 20; William Black, y; r. D.
Blaclsmore, u; T. B. AldI'ich, 10; Wilkie
Collins 3; Charles Reade, 10; Fielding, 2;
Henry James, .; Henry George, 5; Mrs Au-
gusta Evans, 20; Spurgeon, 20; Talmage, 10.
The salesman commented, as he went down
the list, rs follows:
Edward Eggleston's sales have fallen OFF
largely; sells only in the holidays. Marion
Hunt jackson win always sell. The demand
for Harriet Beecher Stoves Uncle TOMS
Cabin is as steady as cloc5work Ben Hur'
is one of the most reliable books to sell we
have ever had. II. Rider Haggard sells in
spurts. The sales of Dickens, Thackeray,
Scott and Bulwer scarcely vary from year to
year. They are as much a standard article |
as flour or groceries.
1.-The most remarkable book we have sold |
said the salesman, sis Mr.. Barnes, of New /
York We have sold 5000 a week since its /
first appearance, and have been from 5000 to .
10000 behind our orders all the while As it
is the first book of the author the sale is be-
yond all precedent
The company sells for all classes of pub
fishers, except those that sell on subscription
and on installments. The former do not
properly come into comparison. but the lat
ter publish works Of purely literary char
lcter. The figures as to the sales of the lat
ter are remarkable. One instalhnent house

Keely ana the oeenlt Powers.

Mime. Blavatsky's opinion OF Keely and
his motor ought to be as good as anybody's
She wrote substantially this about them two
years ago: "kcely is psychic, and has dis
covered something Of the power he claims,
but be relates it to the wrong source, and is,
and win be, unable to Communicate it to
others. We're he to succeed he would be
known as the benefactor Of the rich. and the
rich would destroy society as it exigts. The
guardians of occultism do not permit a
mighty power such as Keely has discovered
to exist in sound to become the property of a
race until it is further advanced in things
spiritual than is ours Humanity viii have
