THE present condition of the navy
of the United States was highly
complimented by several senators
of the republican party yesterday
morning. Among others, Senator
Plumb said that the prospect now is
that the U. S. will ere long have
the best navy in the world, not the
greatest nor strongest navy, but one
with by far the best vessels.

Deafness Can't Be Cured

BY local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an infiamed condition Of the
mucus lining OF the eustachian tube
When this tube gets infiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing. and
when 1t is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken ont and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out OF ten are caused by
catarrh, (which is nothing but an infiamed
condition of the mucus surfaces.
We offer One Hundred Dollars reward
for any case OF Catarrh that cannot be
cured by taking Halls Catarrh Cure.

SALEM, Or, Sept. IA, 1899.
ED. CAPITAL JoURNAL.-!Speak-
ing for the Marion County I'M
provement company, | wish to
say that after many vcxatious delays
the work of securing the right of
way for our motor line has so far
progressed that we are now about
ready to definitely locate our line
and commence active work of con-
struction. AS rule we have found
that our proposed enterprise is
looked upon with favor; only a few,
however, have seemed to realize
what it means as an cnergizing
force in the development of the
country and as a factor in the up
building of Salem and Silverton.
1t is not my p urpose, however, to
enlarge, at present, upon this phase
of the subject. Our route through
the city is yet All undetermined
question, in fact, it has s; emed to Us
at times as though the people of Sa-
lem were either Indifferent or OPP
posed to our enterprise, but, be that
as 1t may, we have reached that
point where we must have some ex.
preston either of approval or the
contrary. The work must be enter
ed upon soon or abandoned. 1t is
our purpose to push the road to COM
pletion by the first day of 1890. To
do this we cannot take time to in
terview each individual citizen of
the city and vicinity, but we are
prepared to explain to any and all
who feel an interest i'm the success of
our enterprise and plans, and we
believe that we can convince the
most skeptical that we mean busi-
ness and that we are operating upon
basis that must necessarily be sue
cessful as well as profitable.
Our stock books are now open to
any who may be made to realize
that, as an investment considered
from purely business standpoint,
1t is not only safe but very profitable
rs well. Our Office is room No. 6,
Murphy block, where we shall be
found after Tuesday morning next,
ready and glad to give all the in
formation within our power to all
who are earnestly in favor of the
enterprise. Our time will be too
much employed to be given to the
lily curious, but to the friends of the
enterprise we extend a welcome, and
not only that but earnestly invite
your attention. Did opportunity
offer we would go before the citizens
On masse, and make full statement
and explanation by which means
much time would be saved.
We fiatter ourselves that our enter
prise, if carried to completion, will
DO more to develope the country and
build up Salem than any half dozen
others yet inaugurated, and we have
taith to believe that We can produce
such evidence as to make the people
realize the fact that we are not Wis
onary nor overstating the case. We
want investigation and criticism,
md to the extent that we may be
.ble to inspire confidence, we want
We have no antago-
nisms to other enterprises but on
,he contrary wish them all success;
The success of one helps every other. !

FROM the very outset eminent law
yers have regarded the dual submission
bill as OF doubtful validity. While this
may sound as a paradox to say that a
constitutional amendment can be un-
constitutional, yet this is literally true.
It's constructive form may be SO defect
i've as to make its submission to the
people imperative. The double-euder
amendment belongs, in the opinion of
eminent jurists, to that category. Mr..
Dempster's resolution, requesting the
supreme court to submit an opinion as
TO the constitutionality of the submis-
sion bill as 1t passed the legislature
is doubtless inspired by desire to as
certain whether or not the bill would
stand the test OF the highest tribunal in
case its validity was assailed after the
legislature had adjourned. The ques-
tions proposed to the court involved
points that 60 to the very bed rock OF
constitutional government. The opin-
ion of the court will be looked for with
great interest by the law makers and
lawyers, aud the people generally.

A COMMITTEE of the Produce Ex-
change of the City of New York has
organized for the purpose Of making a
special exhibit of corn at the Paris ex-
position. The exhibit, if sufficient
funds can be raised for the pur-
pose from the subscription of the
people of the country, is to be
under the supervision of the agricul-
tural department of the American COM
mission. The plan involves the cree
tion OF corn pavilion of unique design
and graceful architecture. This is
certainly II high compliment to corn, and
recognition of the worth to the coun-
Cry of the corn raising states. And
well may corn be crowned king, and
supplant the reign of cotton. Last
year on seventy-five millions of acres, a
crop of two billion bushels OF corn was
raised, whose value at low estimate is
worth six hundred million dollars.

THE passage by the Legislature OF the
law authorizing the consolidation of
street railway companies will go far TO
insure the extension Of cable and street
railway systems generally during the
coming season. 1t may now be counted
upon as an assured fact that the Omaha
street railroad systems will be consoli-
dated under one management. With
the franchises properly protected by
legislation the local companies will
have no difficulty in interesting eastern
capitalists. The extension of the cable
and perhaps other systems will result in
the outlay OF more than half million
dollars this year. Without doubt line
will be extended from Fort Omaha to
South Omaha and our citizens will be
given the best of service. The prospects
are that Omaha will within a short time
rival Kansas City in the extent of her
cable lines and in the facility for rapid
transit to all parts of the city.

A QUAINT LIQUOR LAW.
How the Traffic Was Regulated Three
Hundred Years Ago.

To the Editor of The REE: In moment

and it occurs TO me that 1t may interest your
readers in these days of prohibition, 'local

suasion" and ''hurrah for Fiske and

but that our fOrefathers were more wisely
strict than VIC are in our legislation. They
did not dream Of prohibition and though
Jealous rellgionists, as an act shows, they
had no scruple IN 'licensing an iniquity,n
but were anxious that good peo-
pie OF that day should be protected
from bad beer, and that they should have il
cheap; and that there should be no
more saloons than "a convenient number,
and no more" The phrase, "They that had
no other means to live by" reminds me that
in my early days In the highlands Of Scot

SHOULD LDBEGENERALLYOBSERVED

In number OF cities preparations are
making to properly observe the centen-
nial anniversary of the birth of the ma
tion, which falls on the 30th of April,
the date of the Inauguration of George
Washington in New York City, in 1889.
This event, the beginning of the consti-
tutional existence of the government, is
to be grandly celebrated in New York,
and there is every reason that patriot
ism can suggest why that celebration
should be supplemented by an appropri-
ate observance of the day throughout
the country. No event in American his
tory surpassed in importance the tran
sition from the colonial state to con-
stitutional form of government. The
splendid courage Of the founders OF the
republic in declaring their independ-
ence of Great Britain was not more
admirable than the great wisdom which
led them to the consummation of
union of the colonies under a national
constitution. Thus the achievements
of the one were made secure and per-
petual by the other, and great re-
public created whose influence is now

velous growth is without parallel in
the history of mankind, and whose des-
tiny is yet far from fully accom-
plished. There is no portion of our
history which presents more to stimu-
late admiration of the wisdom OF the
founders Of the republic and to
strengthen the love of country than
that which records the framing of the
constitution, its acceptance by the colo
nies, and the final establishment of the
government under that instrument--in-
comparably the greatest in the wisdom
of its provisions ever framed by any
people, and measured by results the
most important political compact in the
worlds history.
These considerations urge its general
celebration as in the interest OF the
universal education OF the people in
patriotism and the knowledge OF the
foundations of their government. Chi
cago and other cities are arranging to
have such celebrations, and why should
not Omaha? The question is one that
is commended to our political organiza-
tions in this city.
