MODERN AMAzONS.

One of the most thorough raids
on saloon ever made by American
women, if report be true, occurred
lately in a Western city. The
doomed liquor seller was warned
beforehand, and like Bishop Hatlo
he barred his door and fondly ina
gined that he was safe. Not so. In
both cases the invaders came in at
the windows. The liquor seller was
not reduced to skeleton like his
German progenitor, but his windows
were smashed, his glasses wrecked,
his beloved kegs and barrels and
casks stove in, while their death
dealing contents went to swell the
streams in the gutter A companion
liquor seller was served likewise
and three refractory druggists were
cowed into submission. Moral
reused womanhood can enforce the
laws quicker than all your marshals,
courts and sherifs
It would be an error to suppose,
however, that American women en-
JOY a monopoly in these deeds of
violence. The very same mail which
brought the account of the scene
above described, contained also a
stirring narrative of a contest pre-
senting some analogous features
among the Polish residents of Buff
falo. Many of the women were dis
satisfied with the priest who was ap-
pointed to preside over their con-
sciences. No peaceful and religious
remedy suggesting itself, they re-
solved on a summary process which
in default of legal aid they resolved
to serve themselves. Gathering in
large numbers around the church
they refused the obnoxious ecclesi-
astic ingress into the sacred build
ing. A lively scene followed, and as
the police were instructed not to use
their batons or their fists the women
had things all their own way, and
held high carnival for while, Wig
orous charge of salt and pepper
judiciously discharged at the eyes of
their obtrusive foes, finally drove
them away and left these modern
Amazons VIGOROUSLY masters of the
field. These excuses are certainly
curiosities of history, and deserve to
rank with the most celebrated of
their kind, with the "power" at the
negro camp meetings, or the st.
Vitius' dance of medieval times.
The chivalry towards the weaker
sex which marks the attitude of the
stranger, is hardly likely to last
long, if it is often SO injudiciously
abused.
Stormy scenes seem to be epidemic
across the water. We read of Ger
man church in Cincinnati in which
serious differences of doctrine finally
led to an effort at adjustment vi ct
armis. The church was divided
against itself, the factions resolving
themselves into a ''liberal" and an
wing, each of which felt it.
self In possession of the truth, and
disposed with dangerous literal
ness to beat it into the obstreperous
party. In this case, also, women
we're free participants.

Piled with. This is one of the
most valuable features of the Act
and it was simply out of the question
to allow failures. to comply with it to
pass unnoticed, on the very first oc-
casion of the statutes operation. To
secure e-object required, simple
conviction was all sufficient, and the
prosecution asked for a nominal
penalty, which was fixed by the
court. If the lesson is generally un-
derstood the object of the proceed
ings, so far as the public is con
cerned, will have been attained.
The object of the election law is to
bring our politics up to a higher
plane. The experience of England,
Australia and some of the United
States have abundantly demon
strated, to the confusion of all pro-
fessional politicians, the utility and
necessity of such legislation. Our
law is not perfect, but it is good; and
it should be the earnest effort of all
parties to secure its enforcement in
practice as well as its improve
ment by further amendment.
There is only one way to
secure the enforcement of laws
like this. It is to be eternally vigil
liant Politics in common with other
human things, but more than they
are subject to an incessant and dan
gerous tendency to deterioration.
No election law in the world can
eradicate this tendency, but it can
do much to neutralize its evils.
Mr.. Paikuli's offence was not one
so short time as two years ago. 1t
is an offence created and defined by
the new law. This does not imply
that it was not Objectionable and
wrong then, as well as now. The |
practice of hiring an indefinite num-
Der of lunas for a small pecuniary
consideration, has always shaded
into bribery, and in many cases vir-
tually was bribery. Every new luna
meant one vote more secured, and in
small districts where there were
many lunas and few voters, victory
tended naturally to the side of many
lunas. This is case where no one
can afford to cast the first stone, hir-
ing lunas being the orthodox practice
of all parties without exception. The
new law was intended among other
things, to abolish this shady prac-
lice. Mr. Paikui has adhered to the
old tradition, under circumstances of
the shadiest- and has in consequence
one of the salient and i'm
portant provisions. His conviction
Is natural and desirable conse-
luence, if the law is to be upheld.

needs-and does not sacrifice some
to others. "A government does
the same. If we had postponed the
Punchbowl road and three or four
other needed improvements, we
might have macadamized the road
to the volcano, but such a course
would been exceedingly foolish.
The Punchbowl road as it actually
stands, with all its imperfection on
its head is an immense addition to
the attractiveness of Honolulu, and
not the least of its advantages is
that it was got SO cheap that it did
not need to be paid for by the sacri-
fee of other needed improvements.
Future Legislatures can and prob
ably will vote funds to improve it,
as they have done and will still con-
tinue to do with regard to all other
roads and public improvements, and
as other countries have done and
continue to do. No country ever
got good roads all at once. The New
York Central did not lay its four
tracks all at the same time. The
roads of this country will probably
grow better and more numerous by
the process of gradual development
which governs all other human af-
fairs

A STRONG CORPORATION.
The Monteiro Land and Residence
Company, of salem.

The above company has purchased
forty-eight acres of the Monteirc
property on Broad street, Salem's
finest and most fashionable residence
street, adjoing the Salem Improve
ment company's property, within the
corporate limits of the city and only
800 yards from the center of Main
street.
This land is beautifully located fol
residences, and is convenient to the
business center. The water mains are
now being extended to it, and lots
directly adjoining have sold readily
for $500.
The property cost the company
S33, 900 cash and $4,000 paid up stock,
which is to go toward floating and
organizing the company and the CAPT
tai stock is 500. 900 divided into shares
OF $40 each, enabling the company tC
guarantee only three assessments to
be made of 10 per cent. each, the first
due on Nav list and the others thirty
and sixty days afterwards.
Considering the close proximity oil
this land to the center of the city; it,
high and level surface and beautiful
location, it is one OF the cheapps,
properties purchased there Of late.
and when good judges of the value Of
property in that neighborhood have
paid $1,000 per acre for land consider
ably further out of the city, it can
readily be seen what a good
and well paying investment the stock
holders are making.
The lots of the Monterio Land anG
Residence company are among thu
nearest to the business portion of the
city, and among the most desirable
properties there. This is to be Salem's
''bon ton" section. 1t can be seen by
Glance the many advantages pos
sessed by this property, and in conse-
quence it will sell rapidly. Demands
are constantly being made for it.
From this location one of the most
beautiful views can be obtained that
ever delighted the eye Of man. 1.-The
Alpsnof Switzerland of the South can
be seen on the south of the city tow
ering up hundreds of feet, their tops
kissing the clouds, while around the
base of the mountains runs
the majestic old Roanoke river wend-
ing its way to the sea. Surely no one
could desire a more beautiful and
soul-inspiring picture than a view OF
that country lying adjacent to Salem
and no better view can he gotten than
from the Monterio property. This
makes it more desirable as a place OF
residence.

Langston,sS Speech.

Langston, the colored man who is
contesting Nenables seat in Congress,
made characteristic speech in Wash
ington at the emancipation proclama-
ton. He thanks God that the ne
groes are increasing more rapidly
than the whites, and said the former
would eventually Africanize this
country; that the negroes now have
virtual control of the Nationel Capt.
tai, and by remaining in the United
States they will be enabled to control
the government
