Some Well EXPRESSED Facts.

Hon. Cornelius Hedges, NJ. A.,
late superintendent public instruc-
tion at Montana, gives the following
points upon purchasing cyclopse-
dia which are well worth consider
ing:
A cyclopRdia is condensed libra
ry, and of all the competitors for
public favor in this productive field
of combined skill, industry aud
wealth, none stands higher i'm real
merit than Johnson's, which is
second to none in any respect, and
easily leads all others in several re-.
spects-such, for instance, as Amer
can biography. There is no slop-
work by trade-writers about John
sons cyclopRdia. Every leading
article bears the honest, open-faced
guarantee of a responsible author. /
own set of Appletons' cycloI;edia
which cost me three times the regu-
lar price of Johnson's, and is in 10
essential respect better, and in
many greatly inferior. l should
have no hesitation in advising any
one III need of the best cyclop@dia to
buy Johnson's. There are Others
mUre voluminous, but not so COM
prehensive after all. There are also
Others cheaper, many Of them of
great excellence, but, considering
both quantity and QUALITY, there
is no cheaper work eXtant. 1t is
hard to see how an intelligent man
can keep house without good cyclo-
padia; and any one, no matter how
defective his early education, who
will make daily and habitual use of
his leisurein consulting such work
as Johnsou's cyclopadia will be-
come well-educated person. 1t
will pay u hundred per cent. every
year to the person who will own
and use it. Address G. G. Brewer,
Salem or Astoria, end secure an op-
portunity to examine the work.

BY taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, which, by
the remarkable cures 1t has accomplished,
often when other medicines have failed,
has proven itself to be potent and pecul
lar medicine for this disease. Some OF
these cures are really wonderful. If you
suffer from scrofula or impure blood, be
sure to try Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Every spring my wife and children have
been troubled with scrofula, sores break
ing out on them in various places. My
little boy, three years old, has been a
terrible sufferer. Last spring he was one

RosEBURG MALL DAILY,
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1890-12-31
PROD THE MAYOR.

At the reform meeting on Monday
evening Judge WkMPLER hit the nail
squarely on the head when he said the exc
cution of the laws rested with the mayor
and not with the council. The HERALD has
been trying to impress it upon the public
that GEORGE M. SCOTT, mayor, is the man
more than any other responsible for the de
plorable condition of things which exists
here. We do not allege that Mayor SooT1
is in favor of Sunday saloons, that he en-
courages bawdy houses, that he protects
gamblers or that he likes the idea of the
city being overrun with thugs, sandbag-
gers and burglars; but we do say thai
Mayor SCOTT has not exercised his author
ity as chief executive officer of the city as
he should have done, or this awful state of
affairs which not now exist. Wedo assert
that Mayor SCoTT is responsible to the pub
lie for the failure of the policemen which
he appoints to enforce the ordinances. We
ailege that if the mayor were to tell The
chief of police that the saloons must close
their doors and refuse to sell liquor on Sun
day, that houses of ill-fame must be sup
pressed. that gambling dens must be shut
and with very little ADO. The chief of police
and every man on the force would know
thathis tenure Of Office depended upon obey
ing his superior, the mayor andif an officer
should refuseto obey the mayor could kick
him out and put in his place a more efficient
person.
Judge WAMPLER was right in this matter
and the popular demand for the enforce
ment of the ordinances should be upon the
mayor, the city's chief executive officer
and not upon the council, which makes
laws but does not execute them 1t has
been intimated that Mayor ScorT lacks the
courage to use his office as be should use it
that while he is personally law abiding
citizen and frowns upon the vices which
afliict the city, he dare not assail the
whisky sellers, the gamblers and the
prostitutes, who form such a conspicuous
element in his political party and con
tributed so much towards his election. W.
do not say that this intimation is correct
but unless the mayor shall be more force
full, more energetic in the performance O.
his duties as head of the municipal govern
ment, a good many people will conclude
that he is moral coward, and that he il
afraid to antagonize the law-defying classes
which trained under his banner and to whom
he owes the title which he wears.
