THE PENSION QUESTION.

The pension question is unneces-
sarily political issue. Every PEN
sion application is subjected 10 close
scrutiny, and, if il were the policy OF
the administration to kill of tho pen
sion business, it could easily do it by
invalidating the applications.ltIs not
enough to say the Republicans passed
the pension laws. What would these
laws amount to if the individual ap-
plications were not so bountifully
recognized by the Democrats in pow
err, recognition which shows a pro-
founderlove for the veterans and the
Union than is exhibited by the howl
ing "stay- at-homcs" who want every
cook and camp follower to be fed at
the public crib.
In this connection we desire to call
the attention of the people of this
county TO the following from the
Dubuque Herald:
"Under the administration of the
Democratic party the veterans are be-
ing paid far more pensions than they
were formerly. 1t is the policy of
the Democrats TO pension literally the
deserving survivors who fought so
valiantly for their country, aud at the
same time to examine the facts
closely so that no spurious would-be
veteran is paid what he does not de-
serve. The workings of the Iowa
pension ofilceIsbow, wpat The pemp-.
cratic party is doing FOR the Union
soldiers. During the last quarter
Pension Agent Lake, at Des Moines,
paid out over $4,000, which amount
is distributed to $500 old soldiers or
their heirs. The present pension roll
is 80 per cent. greater than two years
ago. There has been net increase
of 5000 in Iowa. In the eighteen
agencies of the United States there
are 42jOOO to 10000 pensioners on
the roll, net increase Of 10000 in
two years. The veterans are amazed
themselves at the rapidly with which
their just claims are being rewarded
under the present Administration"

AND now SALEM IS INTERESTED.
And is Looking This Way For Railroad
Connection.

(Salem Capital, 16.)
Last night the board of trade held
an important special session with q
large and enthusiastic attendance.
President Wright in spirit of en-
thusiasm stated that the object OF the
called meeting was to take Immediate
action regarding the proposed con-
struction of O railroad from Astoria
through Salem to connection with
the Oregon Pacific. Secretary Man
ming informed the meeting OF authen-
thentic information received by him
that the Astoria railroad Company
proposed building their line via Olaf
SOD beach from Astoria to Tillamook,
whence they would follow through
the low pass east Of Tillamook to the
Grand Ronde country and on to a
connection with the Oregon Pacific.
He spoke of there being an opportu-
nifty for Salem to secure this line if
the proper effort be made and induce
ments offered.
It was decided to appoint a COM
mittee to 60 to Astoria and confer
with the authorities and learn where
the projected connection with the Or
egon Pacific would be made and what
they would require from Salem to in
duce the road to pass through here.
President Wright. secretary Man.
ming and Messrs. Patton, Albert and
Hendricks were constit uted a com.
mittee to correspond and confer with
the Astoria company and learn the
prospects and requirements and per-
haps visit Astoria in the interest of
securing the additional railway facil-
tiles.
The opinion prevails that both the
Astoria line and the Oregon Pacific
are but branches of the Chicago &
Northwestern which is Fastening to
Boise City, where they desire connec-
tion with the coast.
Taken all in all the meeting of the
board was an earnest one. Speeches
were made by the different members,
setting forth the Importance of &C.
curing this line for Salem, whereby
we may be given direct railway con-
nection with the east and the sea-
board by competent line. All ex-
hibited a readiness to leave no effort
untried to gain the coveted prize. A
great interest has been aroused and
the Salem people begin to realize
what may be accomplished by a
united and harmonious action of
their forces, and it is but the begin
ming Of much that may result from
an awakening. Now that it is seen
what may be done by concerted. &C.
tion good results are sure to follow.
As soon as the committee can pre-
pare report and learn from the As
toria company what our requirements
are, the board Of trade propose hold
ing a special meeting looking to a
final action On the matter.

An Explanation.

What ia this nervous trouble" with
which SO many seem now to be af-
tiicted? If you will remember a few
years ago the word Malaria was COM
paratively unknown,-to-day it is as
common as any word in the English
language, yet this word covers only
the meaning Of another word used by
our forefathers in times past. So it
is with nervous diseases, as they and
Malaria are intended to cover what
our grandfathers called Billiousness,
and all are caused by troubles that
arise from diseased condition of the
Liver which in performing its func-
tions finding it cannot dispose of the
bile through the ordinary channel is
compelled to pass it off through the
system, causing nervous troubles,
Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc. You
who are suffering can well appreciate
q cure. We recommend Green's Au-
gust Flower. Its cures are mar
velous.

Spiritualism.

Sunday evening, October 21st, at
the Ross opera house, Miss Kate Ed
dy, Alex. Hume and other noted spirit
ual mediums, will give an entertain
ment, for the purpose of demonstrat-
ing spirit power in the light. The
following are among the many DEM
onstrations given: Miss Eddy's open
seance, as presented by her before
tine leading scientific societies of En-
gland, Austria, Germany and France.
Miss Eddy was by. them subjected to
the most crucial test conditions.
There is not one member among them
but that acknowledges that, in the
presence of Miss Eddy, there is a won
derfnl power and intelligence outside
the physical body, that can assume a
human form and annihilate distance.
But what this power is. there is di-
versity Of opinion. A table rises and
floats in mid-air; flowers are brought
and passed through the audience by
invisible hands; spirit slate writing;
questions written and retained by the
interrogators will receive full and in
telligent answers. A small admission
will be charged to defray expenses.

A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.
Between Capt. Reed OF the ''T. +. 0akes" and
the Suppliers OF Sailors.

The American ship T. Il. Oakes is
at Sand Island and will be ready to
sail when she gets her crew. There
is little difference of opinion be-
tween Capt. Reed and those who u.s.
ually supply those who 60 down to
the sea in ships before the mast and
see the wonders of the Lord in
strange waters from the look out
afforded by the forecastle. At pres
ent the T. r. Cakes is without crew
and the Captain declines complying
with the demands made upon him.
1t appears that S47 per man is the
amount received this season for sup.
plying sailors; this, usually styled
blood money" is not in exact accord
ance with the Dingley bill, but is the
custom here and in other ports on
this coast. Capt. Reed got two or
three men in Portland, and was, &C.
cordingly, informed that he couldn't
be supplied with men here unless he
paid $47 apiece for those as well as
for all others furnished him here. At
conference yesterday it was agreed
to disagree.
The captain now says that he will
send to San Francisco for his crew,
and figures that he will make money
by doing 80.
Wages here are f6 month, blood
money" $47; wages in San Francisco
are "a a month; "blood money" $50;
the fare up here is So; the expenses
of a watchman or two up and down,
a tug to take the men off the San
Francisco steamer and put them on
the Z. II. Cakes must also be reck-
oned in the expenses, but on a crew
Of fifteen men, the difference in favor
of the vessel would be something like
this:
On four months voyage, 60
month. Is men, "blood money" ST.
man, 1856; against this, the ex.
pense of bringing them here. and on
board the vessel, say $3.50, leaving a
balance of about $500.
1t has been several years since
sailors were brought to this port
from San Francisco to ship on out
going vessels from the Columbia.
The only thing that may initiate
against the captains calculations is
the possible difficulty of securing a
crew in San Francisco for Ills vessel
at better terms.
In this regard it may be observed
that the charge was made in the
Portland press sometime ago that
sailors shipped on board vessels here
would be taken off down there. The
Z. r. Cakes and the GrisedGle fur
nish two recent examples to the con-
trary.

Reducing the Surplus.

The disposition of the Surplus in the
u. s. Treasury engages the attention of
our Statesmen, but more vital question
has our attention, and that is the reduc-
ton of the Surplus Gonsulmptives. Since
The discovery and Introduction of DR..
Kings New Discovery for Consump-
ton, there has been marked decrease
in the mortality from this dreaded dis
ease, and it is possible to still further re-
duce the number of COnsumptives.
How? By keeping constantly at hand
q bottle of DR.. Kings New Discovery,
and using according to directions, upon
the appearance of the first symptoms,
such as Cough. a Cold, Sore Throat,
a Chest or Side Pain. Taken thus early
q cure is guaranteed.

REMARKS FROM ALBANY.
The Opinion Of The Herald" on Railroad
Matters.
(Albany Herald, ID

(AlDany Herald, lI.)
The citizens of Salem are trying to
initiate Albany's example in securing
a direct outlet to the sea. At meet
ing OF the Salem board of trade Mon
day evening the advisability of making
an effort to secure direct railroad
connection with the sea, via Astoria,
was considered.
1t was stated to the board as the
intention of the Astoria Railroad
company to build from Astoria to Til
lamook via Clatsop beach, thence
through the low pass east of Tilla-
nook to the Grand Ronde country,
and thence to q junction with the
Oregon Pacific. 1t was suggested
that there exists a very good chance
to secure, by proper effort the passage
of this road through Salem.
A committee OF five, consisting OF
president Wright, secretary Manning,
T. McF. Patton, J. II. Albert and r.
]. Hendricks. were appointed to cor
respond with the Astoria company
and ascertain what prospect there is of
securing the road. If deemed expe-
dent the committee is empowered to
visit Astoria.
This is the road which the Astoria
people have proposed to build to AL
bany. 1t cannot connect with the
Oregon Pacific at Salem, for the very
good reason that the Oregon Pacific
railroad does not pass through Salem
but through Albany. and as its con.
nection with the Southern Pacific is
at Albany, this city will be the nat
ural connection of such road, if it is
huilt.
