A VIEW or SALEM.
Mr.. V. =. Peasp Gives Some Informa-
ton Worth 0bServiug-Salem
Has Bright Future.


The JOURNAL reporter found Mr..
Pease, the representative of the Chi
Gag syndicate, at the office of Cook
& Minthorn this morning and APP
piled the force pump to him in about
the following manner:
"If 1t is not too impertinent
would like to ask you, for the infor-
nation of the readers of the JOUR.
NAL, what your people propose to do
with the horse car line.n
III am not informed about the
future plans of the gentlemen in
Chicago, Personally, l have not
determined whether | shall be inter-
ested in the purchase or not, but if
| join in the enterprise shall favor
greatly improving the horse ear
service for the present. Your read.
ers will understand that few lines of
street cars in small cities like Salem
are paying dividends. One thing |
can safely say our people are men
Of good business ability, and they
Will probably do the very best thing
with the property when they get it. !"
"But, Mr.. Pease, cannot you give
something more definite, for exam
pie tell the exact date when your
people will begin to change the road
from horse line to an electric line" "
GAS l said before, l am not in
formed. came here unexpectedly
to close the trade, with no consulta-
ton with Chicago parties as to
future plans, and barely time enough
to get instructions about detail of
trade. l think, however, the Chi
cago gentlemen will give your people
perfectly satisfactory service"
The reporter then asked MIR.
Pease if he thought Salem could
have electric service on the old line
as soon as Commercial street is
paved.
"The improvement of your streets
is very much needed, is fact is a
greater necessity than improved
street Car service. If your people
start on these public improvements
of course it would stimulate our
people to do something. l would
not be surprised if you would see
electric cars running the length of
Commercial street as soon as that
street is paved. Remember L am
not informed of the future plans of
my people in Chicago"
"Well, how do you like Salem?"
"Salem is the best and most sub
stantial city of its size that 1 know
of. Beautiful Except her streets),
surrounded by very beautiful seem
cry. 1t has immense resources and
can become city of 10000 people
easier than any other place 1 know
of."
"What does the city most need
light now ?"
"Well, that is leading question
or modest man to answer. Un-
your people had best
stick to the street business until that
S settled. Then take up a line of
systematic advertising. Have meet
ngs of citizens and have speeches,
get up enthusiasm and pass resolu-
lions declaring that Salem shall
become a city; then go out and act in
accordance with the action of the
meeting. Excursions will be very
much in order this fall, a9er your
city has more presentable appear
ance. Lots of things can be done
TO set Salem growing very rapidly,
after little. Let me tell you that
his city has a good set of real estate
men, and if the people will su pport
hem Salem will BOOM"

The Laws Delay.

New York's system Of courts seems to be
30 arranged as TO delay final decisions in
casss n litigation and 10 increase the bust
ness Of the lawyers. A suit begun in a
lower court has to pass through a number
Of intermediate courts before the court Of
last resort is reached.
1t will soon be five years since Samuel J.
Tilden died, and his will has been in litiga-
ton all that time. The question whether
it is valid or not has not yet been decided.
1t only reached the court Of appeals re-
Gently.
The bill OF costs must be pretty large
one by this time, and the income from the
estate, probably has gone into the pockets of
the lawyers. Such lawyers as are employed in
the case do not accept small fees. They ao-
cept only retainers which amount to thou
sands of dollars.
1t looks as IL the courts were so arranged
and the laws 30 constructed as to prevent a
speedy trial and determination of cases.
And in some OF the states the difficulties
surrounding litigation appear to be increas-
ing. 1t Is doubtful il litigants have better
chance for justice where appeals to 80 many
courts are permitted than where the admin
istration of justice is simpler. 1t certainly
ought not to take five years to get decision
in any state as to the validity Of will. IL
Mr.. Tilden had suspected that lot of lawyers
and court clerks would be paid fat fees out Of
his estate for SO long a period he would
have adopted the wiser course Of distribut-
ing his money while he was alive.

aiding the New Party.

There Is q growing susp1cion that some Of
tie alliance leaders and pspsrs. while openly
asserting their loyalty 70 the Democratic
party, are secretly anxious that southern
sIliancsmen shall join the new party. It
may Be- that the suspicion IL not well
founded, but II it isn't an explanation Of what
their purpose % in asserting that the south
no longer fears black supremacy, that the
sub-treasury plan Is as constitutional a.
many other things which have received ths
sanction Of congress. and that thsre Is little
chance Of Georgia going democratic in 1892,
would be in order.
Talk like this is calculated 10 weaken
rather than strengthen the hold Of the
Democratic party upon its members, and
those who indulge in it must Be aware Of
that fact. Their professions Of loyalty 70
that party are therefore Inconsistent with
their utterances.
They may say that their purpose is to
warn the democratic leaders that II they do
not make the concessions demanded by the
alliance tbs allegiance Of alliancemen will
be Transferred 70 the nsw party. But they
know very well that the Democratic party
cannot consistently comply with those de-
mands and viii not do 50. The principal
one Of them is the sub-treasury plan. In
deed, without it the demands would amount
to very little. Every democratic leader Of
prominence who has expressed an opinion Of
it has condemned it as unconstitutional and
impracticable. II is not reasonable TO sup
pose that the Democratic party, whose
whole record Is against legislation Of that
kind aud against everything tending toward
Capitalization, would indorse it.
Those alliance leaders, therefore, who are
saying that If the Democratic party does
not do this or that thing alliancemsn are
going over into the camp Of the new party
are really only inviting them to go. If they
were as loyal TO the Democratic party as
they profess TO be they would point out
that there are things in the platform Of the
new party which the Democratic party
does not and cannot approve, but that that
party, having always been the friend Of the
toiling masses, will do for them all it can
consistently do, and much more than the
new party will likely be able to do.
These alliance leaders, however, have
nothing good TO say Of the Democratic
party. They do not appear as its defenders,
and there is nothing in the platform Of the
new party TO which they object. Do they
expect that the Democratic party will
adopt the platform of the new party II
certainly seems 50. II that is their view
they will be greatly mistaken. II the adop-
tion Of that platform is necessary to their
remaining in the Democratic party. they
might as well say at once that they are
going to the new party. But they may rest
assured that the great majority Of the
southern alliancemen will not follow them.
Notwithstanding the frequent assertions
that the southern farmers are showing signs
Of feeling Of unrest and would need but
little urging 70 pin their faith to the new
PARTY, there are reasons for asserting that
they are still loyal to the Democratic

Caring .. Cleveland.

Statesna1ship would indeed be reduced
70 such degree Of sbsurdity as to actually
amount 70 bgfoonery il public msn could
bring themselves 70 take seriously the flip

solely for tbs qualification Of their own
personal spleen.
Advising Mr. Cleveland 20 walk On stilss

ne recently volunteered the suggestion in
his New York Sun. Yet no one on this
continent would Be half 50 quick 70 carp

50 much as examine pair Of stills in his
own back yard OF course Editor Dana
would know Of such an incident were it 70
occur. because the careful supervision Of
Mr.. Cleveland's back yard appears to be
his especial charge and delight.
Simply because either as governE or
President, be did not take Editor Danais
advice Mr.. Cleveland is now coz
stantly subjected to all the vindictive
malice and sinister sneers that the combined
cankering cynicism Of all the carping
cavilers in the Office Of the New York Sun
can devise. To such malevolencs has he
been incessantly subjected for years. Often
it has even gone beyond the bounds Of COM
mon decency 10 its acrimonious scurrility
And the advice sought 70 be thrust upon
him was Of q character equally sincere
with the specimen here cited and just about
as altogether idiotic.
According to the statement Of Editor
Dana, given for what IL is worth, the fact
that Mr. Cleveland has reduced his weight
fifty pounds renders his chances Of re-elec-
ton fifty times as good as they were" in
1888. Apparently Editor Dana's idea Of the
chief requirement Of a President of the
intel States is that lean and hungry look"
said to have been habitual with one ancient
Cassius. and the attenuated frame of a
chronic consumptive. Bones and not brain
are clearly the desideratum from his point
Of view. Following that idea little
further one must be something Of dwarf
aud a very cadaverous one at that to be
fully qualified for tie presidency, and if it
were not for the barrier Of au age limita>
ton a very slight and nl-fed small boy
would have decidedly the les: chance. Pos
sibly this may account for the ignoninious
defeat Of the ponderous but none the less
beautiful Ben Butler some time back.
Notwithstanding Editor Dana's adverse
opinions and refusal to approve their
course the American people will probably
continue to vote for brai ms regardless of
Drawn or bones.
