THURSDAY - JUNE 20, 1889


A newspaper man Of long expe-
rience was much surprised, after
looking over the city and taking an
enumeration of the business houses,
at the meager, starvation, stingy
advertising patronage given to her
papers by the merchants Of Salem.
He said he had never before seen the
equal and thought that with not
more than two or three exceptions,
the business men of Salem must
have four.foot moss on their backs.
In the main, the gentleman Is right.
For with very few exceptions tho
business houses of Salem are the
least progressive of any ever known.
They seem not to realize or apprc-
ciate the fact that the newspapers
are tireless workers in the interest
OF the city-in fact for the mutual
benefit Of all The advertising pat
rJnage of this paper rom the goods
houses Is just about enough TO jus
tify the publication of one-page
sheet annually. Living in hopes
that new blood shall mt some future
time course through the veins Of the
Capital city in business sense the
JOURNAL continues to earnestly SO
llcit thst patronage which 1t de-
serves but has not as yet received.

There seems to be "a desire on the
part of every thoughtful member
of sJciety to contribute as much as
possible to the comfort and happi-
ness of the old maid. There was a
time when the weman who was
forced to live single life was
looked upon with a sort of pity.
But that time has passed away.
Spinsterhood is not now regarded
as discreditable. How can it be
when there are so many beautiful,
charming and lovable women, not
to say heiresses, who are included
in the ranks? Some women remain
old maids from choice. Some are
old maids because they are true to
the idols of other days. Some be-
cause they are fearful of the quick
sands or matrimony. Others be-
cause their ideal has not yet come to
them. Each generally has a reason
for single b,essedness which is both
creditable land honorable; and fur
thermore, each generally, is a credit
and an honor, not only to her sex
but To the haman race at large.

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
PITTsBURG. FRIDAY, JUNE Z, 1ssa
THE MAGNITUDE OF THE WORK.

The statement made by experts of the cost
of restoring Johnstown to a condition
which will not breed pestilence enforces the
public duty of the day. Mr.. Evan Jones,
who has returned from the stricken city,
states that it will cost $3.50, 900 merely to re-
move the debris and bury the dead bodies,
Mr.. William Films estimate of twice that
sum, probably includes a greater amount of
work in restoring buildings and more de-
tailed, though no less essential, labor in
clearing up the ruins.
For this purpose even more liberal contri-
buttons than have already been made are
needed, and even then it will probably be
necessary to seek for public funds in aid of
the work. The necessity is pressing. Men
must be hired to make their work effective
and bring them under discipline. The work
they are to do does not contemplate any
restoration to the sufferers of their property
which has been destroyed. 1t only means
the work necessary to prevent Johnstown
from becoming a fountain head of pesti-
lence; and in that work the whole State is
virtually interested.
To keep this work in active operation the
people should keep up their voluntary con-
tributions until the executive head of the
State gathers his wits sufficiently to grasp
the necessities of the situation.

WATER OR BEER

The operations of the English capitalists
who have been trying to buy up breweries
throughout this country have generally been
police the production Of beer, and levy exor-
bitant prices upon consumers, or perhaps,
speaking more correctly, upon the retailers.
There has not been much reason to attach
importance to this view OF the case, from
the fact that the nature of the business rem
ders it impossible to monopolize it. Any
one can put up brewery who chooses; and
when $500 invested in buildings can
break monopoly the value of such a COM
bination is very slight.
The fact has been tolerably evident that
the real purpose of the Beer Trust. as it is
called, is to put in practice another notorious
corporation abuse namely, that ofselling to
confding investors inflated stock of several
times its value under the representation that
it can pay dividends upon its value By
taking an investment which is located in
another country, and of which people in
England are ignorant, the English beer
manipulators propose to sell to investors
the stocks in the trust at four or five times
what they are worth. After they have got
the concern in operation they can very
easily declare dividends for year or two,
whether earned or not. When they have
foated their stocks upon the confding
Englishman at a big profit, they can get out
of the deal, put their profits In their pock-
cts, and let the investors whistle for their
money.
In other words the Beer Trust is scheme
not to oppress American beer drinkers, but
to delude English investors. If it was car
ried on by American speculators it would
be discreditable to this country. AS it is to
be operated entirely by English schemers,
the discredit and the loss both will fall upon
the Englishman.

AN EXECUTIVE HEAD NEEDED.

II the reports which come from the capi-
tai of the State are true, that Governor Beaver
is diverting the relief contributions sent to
him from the East, to the aid of Williams
port and Lock Haven, there is an urgent
necessity for a little common sense at the
capital of the State. We hope that the
statement is not true; but the color given to
it BY the Governors glowing dispatch to the
Mayor of New York, stating that he has
relieved" the Susquehanna district not
withstanding the loss at Johnstown, gives
a color to the theory that the Governor has
certainly failed to, grasp the situation.
No doubt the upper Susquehanna towns
have suffered some damage and lost few
score lives To do something for their relief
would be unexceptionable. But to suppose
that the case Of a city which has lost its
lumber yards is anything like that of one
which has been hurled bodily to ruin is
simple ignorance. The respective urgency
of the two cases is expressed by their death
lists of so at Williamsport and 5000 to
Il, 200 at Johnstown. To divert more than
per cent of the relief contributed to the
Johnstown sufferers, in order to console
Williamsport for the loss of its lumber,
would be little short of betrayal of trust.
We repeat the hope that the Governor has
not done this. 1t would be humiliating if
Pennsylvania had to notify the country that
its Governor is not the proper person to re-
ceive the remittances of relief funds.

QUITE A DOG Is JUDY.
Canine Watchman, Friend of Expressmen
and Ball Player.

From the Boston Globe.j
Those who have had occasion to visit the
Court square Office of the Adams Express Com
pany within the last two or three years have
undoubtedly noticed at different times q brin-
die bulldog, either lying among the boxes,
bundles and trunks, or walking around the
office and wagging her tail in answer to some
expressman's Hello, Judy" She is known to
the police and fire men in the downtown dis
trict, and to every expressman who carries
merchandise to and from the office, as a
wonderfully cute dog. but kinder savage when
she's riled."
Judy has sharp eyes and equally sharp
teeth. She never provokes fight, but if any
one whom she does not know starts to meddle
with her, she generally convinces them that she
wishes to be let alone. Judy can be trusted to
watch the goods in the office at any time, and
knows just whom TO let handle them. 1t is
well for the expressmen that they are acquaint-
ed with her. for If such was not the case they
would constantly have to call on some one In
authority to take that dog away"
Judy can play ball, too and although she
might not be able to knock fly out to center
she would do well behind the bat. As for food
she does not have to go far for it. One lady in
particular brings her something every night
her for the past six or eight months and they
are mutual friends. Then Judy has a regular
route, where she knows she is expected every
day. and there Is always something waiting for
her.
Judy is a natural detective, and saves the
company the price of several high salaries
each year. Nothing seems to escape her notice.
One thing, and only one will distract her atten-
tion from her assigned duty. and that is a BAN.
This she VIII play with by the hour and only
when herl owner or an employe takes it from
her will she drop the one playful proclivity and
attend to business, obedience being one Of her
virtues.
