Religion Of Our Presidents.

While the Constitution expressly for
bids the establishment OF any religious
test for office-holdcrs, it is pleasant to
record thai all high officers of State
havo been church members During
the last campaign it was notable that
four OF tie candidates were sons OF
uinisteIs-viz. Grover Cleveland's
fatherwas Presbyterian clergyman,
.4|cgG. Thurman's father Baptist
minister, Levi P. Morton's father u
congregational preacher, and John A.
Brooks is the son OF a Methodist minis
ter, and himself preacher of the same
denomination. The religious belief OF
the twenty-five Presidents who have
ruled over the destiuies Of this nation.
have been as follows: Washington,
Madison, Monroe, Harrison. Tyler.
Taylor. Buchanan and Arthur were
Episcopalians; jefferson. John Adams.
John Q. Adams and Fillmore were Uni
tarians; jackson, Polk and Lincoln
were Presbyterians. as is also the pres
ont incumbent, President Cleveland;
Van Buren, was Of the Dutch Reformed
Church; Pierce Trinitarian Congro-
gationalist; johnson, Grant and Hayes

COLLEGE SOCIETIES. -
An Established Power in All America
Educational Institutions.

An Established Power in All American
Educational Institutions.
j am often asked by anxious papas,
what good is q secret society for q
boy in college?" The form of the
question suggests the idea that the
papa is not likely to have had any PEI
eonal experience either of the one or
the other; but the answer is plain.
Tho secret college fraternity organize
tions of the better class have come TO
be an established power in American
colleges. and in proportion to their
merits they exercise an influence for
good or evil upon the career OF every
student that is. in the average. not
much less important than that exerted
by Alma Mater herself. AS an in
Auence it is stronger while it lasts, and,
as rule, lasts much longer. 1t is no
more a question, "SiIall I permit my
son to join fraternity?" The
question is, ''Can l hope that
my son will be accepted by one
of the best?" A curious instance Of
their practical workings has been re-
Gently told me on good authority. A
Southern gentleman more than twenty
years ago joined one Of these institu-
lions. Soon after this his chapter be-
came extinct. He himself became in
turn o teacher, married and reared a
family of children. He was Industrious
and worthy in every way, but the yel-
VOW fever panic in the South deprived
him Of his only means OF support. The
wolf was at the door. The last re-
sources of economy had been exhausted.
In his despair he addressed letter,
detailing his circumstances, to the fra
ternity at large, asking aid. A tele-
gram to the president of u Southern
college was answered with q satisfac-
tory Endorsement, and within n few
hours sum OF money was on its way
10 the unfortunate one which was quite
adequate to his Immediate needs, and
for which he has the satisfaction Of
knowing he is not indebted to organized
sharity, but to organized love. M 4

Lively Runaway.

This afternoon team belonging
to George wilkins, the North Sa-
lem butcher, ran away, starting
somewhere III North Salem. When
they arrived in the business portion
of the city they were running at a
rapid rate, and when near Gus.
Strang's plumbing shop they turned
in toward the sidewalk, and Charles
Murphy and Jacob Starr, who were
in Gus. Strang's wagon, jumped out
to keep the running team from
striking Mr.. Strang's wagon. Mr..
Murphy picked up a small board
and threw it at the running team,
knocking the near horse down, just
saving a collision. The horses were
then captured and tied up to post.
They had no wagon with them
when they came on Commercial
street.

Ia speaking uf the false alarm and
water works test Superintendent
Martin of the Salem water company
said to JOURNAL reports, that the
only solution to the wate? problem
WAS the construction Of a series q,
cisterns, IA the fire boys had their
hearts set upon such and nothing
short Of cisterns would sai lsfy them.
And to such end he said nc would
donate $50 with Others toward the
construction Of the first cistern.
This may all he very wei. but the
JOURNAL does not think the iircmcn
of Salem are crying for cisterns nor
that they will not be satisfied until
cisterns are provided. They have
$500 worth of fine apparatus and
what they want is water-and lots
of it-no matter whence II comes.
The council meets on Tuesday
evening and 1t il probable that at
that time an effort will be made to
make some disposition of the water
question. II IL possible another test
may be deemed advisable, in which
case the result will be anXiously
looked for ana carefully reported by
the JOURNAL.

When speaking of the objections
raised by certain persons to the mo-
tor line being allowed to traverse
the streets of Salem, Seth II. Ham
mer voiced a popular sentiment
when he said: "A few object. That
should be expected, for there are al
ways some who think the town
sufficiently large. They are
afraid competition will get in and
drive them away from the grass, and
they will have to go hungry or rus
tie, and they hate like the devil 20
rustic" He further says; "Give
us motor lines or any other railroad
lines through half the streets or more
If they want, for they will rustic up
the basiness. They have my per-
mission to lay double track on
Court street with side tracks. switch
es, depots, etc, etc. Bring on the
railroads or any other good road"
In speaking OF the same subject
Capt. Pratt said If the motor line
wanted to pass his door he would
not object to its passing on his side
Of the street even. Why, really,
these objections to granting fran
chise to the motor line are not Just.
The city turns inand gives the street
ear line II franchise to lay their
tracks In the center of the finest,
busiest streets. Salem wants the
motor line and 1t should be permit
ted to run where II chooses.

A BIG FIRE AT DALLAS.
A Quarter Block Burned Last Night
Loss $1,000.


Loss $4,000.
Dallas, the county seat Of Polk
county, barely escaped total destruc-
tion by fire at an early hour this
morning. Shortly after one O'Clock
fire was discovered in the rear of the
bank building and the alarm bell
was quickly sounded. BY the time
the hand engine could be brought
upon the scene the flames were
leaping high and it was evident a
great conhagration was to result.
Some who first saw the fire think
IL had origin i'm the bakery. while
others think it started in the rear of
Crider Bros grocery store. But by
the time and arrived the flames had
made such progress that it was inn
possible TO locate the scene Of the
origin.
The engine worked well and
with u will, but the water supply
was soon exhausted and the fire
burned until it had exhausted Itself
or was checked by the brick fire
walls on adjoining sides. The fire
was kept from spreading only by
hard work, as the lots back of the
burned business houses were COW
cred with cord wood, boxes, lumber
and rubbish.
Among those who sustained losses
were the following: Crider Bros,
stock and building $4,000, insurance
$1,000; bank, fixtures; J. ID. Ellis,
building $500, no insurance; Law
ton, barber shop, 300; J. G. Hayter,
loss 500; postofflce, loss by removal,
500; Fenton d Truitt, damage,
800; Fault d Mes, hardware, $500;
insurance $500. There were several
other losses, which will make n total
of nearly $4,000.
This seems to be an unfortunate
year for fires and while the larger
cities are being destroyed around us,
the smaller ones are no less unfortun-
ate. The origin of the Dallas fire
IL not known.
