SOMETHING NEw.-W. f. Booth
by was accosted this morning by a
JOURNAL man, when he said that
Special Agent Leland would prob
ably be up to- onight and that part
of the force would go to work to-
morrow, and the full corps of emu
merators would be in the field Mon-
day. The work will he completed
in five or six days. The people are
asked not to be backward in giving
the required information and if
there are any persons employed
about the house to inform the CEN
sus man so that no one may be ON
mitted. Doubtless the census has
been talked about and published un-
til it is getting to be q little monot-
onous. 1t is hoped the present
work will be done in such a manner
that nothing more need be said.

IS 1T POSSIBLE d?
That New Houses are Being Erected in
the City for Such a Purpose as Con
templated Below?

Several complaints have reached
the JOURNAL from denizens of the
neighborhood that several new
houses are going up i'm different
parts Of the city, that are being
erected to be used for houses of ILL
fame. One new house was pointed
out to reporter near Church and
Ferry, that is said to be contracted
to Toe leased i'm advance as a house of
prostitution, and the party putting
up the building is a person promi-
nent, wealthy and quite respectable
(at least has been SO considered in
the past.) ''Hhis part Of the city is
bad enough" said the complaining
citizen. prices of property have
fallen off and it is almost impossible
to get good renters on account of the
disreputable neighborhood. We
feel very badly that any further
concessions should be made to the
vile traffic. For one of our capital.
lists to 90 to work aud put up new
house especially designed for this
business is infamous, and no build
ing permit should be issued by the
city if the facts are known or sus-
pected even. We get little or no
protection from our high-priced po-
lice. l do not know what we can
10 about it,"
A JOURNAL reporter was sent to
look up the city plat and records
and ascertain the owner Of the prop
,rty. The name will not be given
the public at present. Investiga-
lion was also made among the
contractor and the architects who
designed the house interviewed,
who said:
II know only this. / get good
wages and no questions are asked.
rhe bid put in for the house was
at good fair figure and it was
promptly accepted. know nothing
as to what the house is to be useu
for, but you can Judge from its mate
that it will not be for Sunday
school purposes"
The reporter was astonished to
discover that the new house referred
to was built right up tight against
its disreputable neighbor, regardless
Of all danger of fire.
The contractor who is building
the house in question was seen and
interviewed on the subject. He
said: ~ can't tell positively who is
to occupy the house, but am sorry
to say l think it will not go to the
most respectable tenants. | am
building it for responsible party in
the country" A carpenter well
acquainted with the builders said:
ut seems too bad to have a new
building in the heart Of the city
rented tor such purposes, especially |
when plenty of good tenants can be
had. 1t looks to me like a, poor
speculation to let house for illegiti- |
mate purposes when there is such
good demand for tenements. 1t
will damage the value ofthe property |
for all time and be a detriment to all
other buildings in the neighbor-
hood"

STRIKE.-This epidemic seems
to have reached Salem, and first
attacked the men on the big bridge.
about twelve of them were seized
with the malady yesterday after
noon and demanded higher wages.
They were promptly paid off and
requested to hunt for higher wages
to their satisfaction. Their places
were filled this morning and every
thing went with its usual order. 1t
was not learned what wages the
men were paid nor how much they
demanded. Nor whetheTtheir grew
ances are well founded or not was
not learned. With the building
that is going on in Salem, and the
prosperity that is manifest on every
hand there seems but little call for a
strike and something must be
wrong on one side or the other.

HONEST PEoPLE.-A gentleman,
who is recently from Kansas, was
heard to remark a few days ago to
one of Oregon's farmers, that it was
a great surprise to him that farmers
could leave their grain sacked up
out i'm the field without it being
stolen, He said, "If "a man should
leave his grain out i'm the field one
night, in Kansas, it would all be
gone before morning. Not that the
people are so dishonest, but that
poverty drove them TO such deeds. "
Farmers leave their grain out in the
field all over the valley, sometimes
for weeks, and it is II rare thing that
sack of grain is eyer molested.
Whether the people of Oregon are
more honest thau their friends in
Kansas or that i'm a land of plenty
the temptation is lost, it is hard to
say.

a CONTRAST.

The New York World recently pub
lished, in full, the speech lately delivered
by Montgomery, the solitary black man
in the Mississippi convention, who Sc
electrified that assembly of white men
with his mastery exposition of the sub
ject of universal suffrage and the dan
gers with which it threatens both races,
if permitted or allowed without any re-
striction at this date in the south.
Apparently with no thought of or for
himself, or for the effect which such
utterances would have upon the minds
and hearts of those bound to him by ties
of blood and race, this man eXerted all
his efforts for the securing of the
adoption of a course, which would re-
move from Mississippi the fear of any
thing like a race conflict in that state for
years to come, by reducing the voting
strength of the negro population of that
state thousands below the white vote.
Let any fair minded man then. be he
white or black. contrast the action of
this negro patriot with the action of those

different places throughout the south,
have bethought themselves suddenly of
the extreme and urgent necessity which
had devolved upon them of protecting
the negro race in their immediate neigh
borhood by willingness to receive their
votes for office, and the difference be-
tween the two styles OF men must be in
structive.
To the dark orator Of Mississippi it was
apparent, rs he sat there in that conven-
ton. that in the clash which would come,
should a clash be inevitable between the
races, the weaker, the less intelligent.
the poorer must 90 to the wall and suffer
most.
Stihingthe prejudices then which would
have clouded his Judgment, unmpdful
of the inevitable effect of his utterances
upon the people with whom he was
identified, he urged that which would in
the long run best conduce 10 the welfare
Of his race, in shining contrast TO the
melancholy list of the Mahones, Chalm-
ers. etc, who have from time TO time
volunteered to hoist a standard under
which the negro vote could rally even
perchsnce 10 q disastrous conflict with the
whites.

ADULTERATIoN OF FOOD.

1t may not seem an important matter
in comparison with some of those upon
which congress has taken action, but it
is deeply to be regretted that the recent
session of national lawmakers adjourned
without fully considering the Paddock
pure food BILL" the intent of which is to
prevent the adulteration of articles of
daily consumption. There has been
widespread objection to the action of
congress in taxing oleomargarine and
compound lard, neither of which is an
unwholesome product. and both sold, as
a rule, upon their merits, but there Is
popular demand that general law be
passed TO prevent the manufacture and
sale of fraudulent authorizations.
In France the law requires that an
penalty for selling or exposing for sale
spurious imitation, with intent to COM
NIT fraud, Is very heavy. The law af-
fects other than food products, extend
ing to textile fabrics and the work of
the goldsmith, the amount of alloy used
in manufacture being required to be
plainly stated. 1t is the health Of the
people, however, chat should first be
considered, and while the paddock
pure food bill' contains, possibly, few
features, it is a move in
the right direction and appears 20 have
met very general approval among trade
interests in all sections of the country.

third sugars is getting 125 to 100 pounds
per ton of cane. This is far better than
any sorghum test that ever was made
anywhere.
The loads of cane for Monday and
Tuesday averaged $500 pounds.
There is one stalk of sorghum on exhi-
bition at the sugar mill, which is not
headed out and which weighed III lbs
Mr. MObley raised it.
The chemists tast shows that the sOr-
ghum is averaging about 49, per cent.
Occasionally a load will test up to Is per
cent.
The mills want to make contracts this
fall with the farmers, for 1000 acres of
cane next year, and 1000 acres of beets.
If the contracts are made, Mr.. Human
assures us that the mill Will be greatly
enlarged, and about 1900 worth of ma
chinery will be added to the plant. 1t
will also give work to the mill men for
about ten months in the rear. The ca
pacity of the works with the great extern
sion of time to be gained will be more
than doubled. The mill will make $780,
900 pounds of sugar this year. With a
good crop next year. it wants to make
over 1000, 900 pounds.
The Topeka papers also speak OF oper-
ations of the sugar mill at that place as
being altogether satisfactory so far. In
fact, the outlook at every mill in the
state that is eng operated this year is
lot only satisfactory but very encourag-
ing. 1t was feared for a time that the
severe drouth Of the summer, during the
time when the cane should have been
taking on its growth, would seriously
damage the crop and curtail the yield,
but the output of sugar and molasses SO
far has been fully up TO the best of the
most favorable season.
Present prospects are certainly most
encouraging for a successful season this
year and for enlarged operations next
year, both as to sorghum and beets,
which latter will PROFESSIONALLY stand
the seasons test as satisfactorily as the
cane

A ovement looking TO the purchase
of railways Ivy the state has been started
in England Ii is suggested that the
Southeastern and Brighton and South
Coast and London, Chatham and Dover
should be first bought up. The reduc-
ton Of passenger fares, the abolition of
second class, and the lowering of parcel
rates is aimed at. Under a paternal
form Of government like that of England
such a scheme may work with some de-
gree Of satisfaction, but it don't suit the
ideas Of free America.

Upon the principle that misery loves
company the foregoing may be accepted
as orthodox protective doctrine, but
there is mighty poor consolation in it for
the producers of the surplus of our agri-
cultural products, including live stock,
and who must pay more for the neces-
saries that must come from some out
side source in consequence of the embar-
go placed upon such neceSsaries in the
shape of high protective tariff. But
there is consolation in the reflection that
an equitable arrangement may be made

new tariff law whereby there may be an

tween that country and this.

Recent statements of various railways
indicate an increase in expenses in much
larger ratio TO earnings than heretofore.
The rapid increase cannot be satisfac-
torily accounted for. 1t is stated that a
fair share of the increase is due to lower
rates on freight traffic, heavier traffic
meaning larger expenses without a cor
responding expansion Of earnings. The
explanation will not prove satisfactory
to the holders of such securities, but it is
directly in line with popular demands,
and if it shall continue until a liberal
per cent of the water is squeezed out of
that class of securities the public will be
still better pleased.

Abraham Lincoln's Father.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Within seven miles of Nation Is the
farm which Abraham Lincoln's father
used 10 own and where he lived. Abe
was of age then and he didn't live on the
farm, but he visited his father once a
wear. and always brought hun presents.
Thomas Lincoln died on his farm and is
buried in Gordon's graveyard near by.
Beside his grave is that of his second
wife. For many years the graves were
unmarked. Later on Mr.. Dunlap of this
city, brought the matter to the attention
Of several leading citizens of Mattoon and
Coles county. The result was that a
plain monument marks the place. Mr.
Robert LncoiR hearing of the subscrip-
ton sent Mr.. Dunlap check for 500.
The tiRst court IN Coles county was
held i'm the woods. in 1881. The Honor
able William Wilson presided on a log:

Those countries which are unable t.
raise crop sufficient for their own con-
sumption will be obliged toimport to the
amount of LOG, 209, 900 hectoliters. On
the other hand, those countries which
have enough and to spare will have sur
plus of 135, 100000 heCtoliters for export.
Thus the world has raised a harvest of
10000, 900 hectoliters in excess of Its

THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN TUNNEL.

That was truly a great enterprise pro-
iected in 1880 of driving a five-mile tun-
mel straight through the backbone of the
continent, entering the snow capped
range of the Rocky mountains proper in
Clear county, Colorado, sixty miles due
west from Denver and coming out at or
near the head of Snake river in Summit
county, on the west side of the range.
The protector of this work was Mr..
Mark NJ. Pomeroy, who has compre-
hended that the tunnels through the Alps
and through the Hoosac mountain in
Massachusetts, had done much for COM
merce, and that this so-called Atlantic
Pacific railway tunnel through the
Rocky mountains main range would
not only shorten the rail
way distance between Denver
and Salt Lake City more that 200 miles,
but would cut through the great mineral
belt trending from the northwest to the
southeast of Colorado. This tunnel,
cutting through these veins, known to
exceed more than $50 in number, as al
ready discovered, will not only enable
the discoveries and therefore the owners
of these veins to bring their gold, silver,
copper and lead contents to market all
the way on wheels, but will afford,
eventually, millions of tons of freight to
such railroad as transports the ore or
mineral to smelters.
1t will cut through all these veins at
right angles, or nearly so, at depths
ranging from 1000 to 1900 feet below
their outbursts on the tops or sides of the
mountain thus being pierced. 1t is a
great endeavor and is becoming a sue
cess.
