"A'ter Williams left me, begun to

mighty bad. N that was the awful
loneliness o. tn woods. The wind was
sighin' through the big trees like it
always does when they is any wind at

that it put all sorts O foolish notions
into my head. 'Peared like the very

to make me feel sorry for myself, an

A GREAT mistake perhaps was made
when Dr. Sherman named his great remedy
Prickly Ash BITTERs; but it is presumed
that at that time all remedies for the blood,
etc, were called Bitters. Had he called it
Prickly Ash Regulator" "Curative," or
almost anything but Bitters, it undoubtedly
would have superseded all other prepara-
tions of similar character. The name Bitters
is misleading; it is purely medicine, and
cannot be used as beverage.

Cures for sleeplessness are very nu-
'nerous, and before any man could try
them all he would be asleep for ever. "
There are not a few, however, which
have stood the test of time, and are
therefore worthy of consideration.

children asleep is of Spanish origin. II

afflicted fathers, who may sometimes
be at their wits end getting baby

that sleeplessness will be dispelled when
one rids the mind of every thought

met an old man one day who works
on lower Broadway and about the City
Hall park during the day and in the
vicinity of Madison square at night.
He has been in the business ten years,
and is up to all the tricks of his trade.
In consideration of liberal contribu-
ton he consented to talk about the
business of professional begging. The
old man would not speak of his life be-
fore he became a beggar, but he used
good language, and it was evident he
had seen better days.
THE business is overdone," he said.
There are too many beggars now, and
so many of them are fresh and get
caught at their tricks that folks are
getting suspicious of all of us. We suf-
fer from this suspicion more than you
suspect. Some people don't give any
thing any more, and those who are not
sure they are being swindled now give

SALEM STREET RAILWAYS.

erty aid is making an inventory
aud statement of its condition. He
says there is some prospect of sale,
and he has the right to sell the line
at public or private sale, but will
operate the road until sold. Mr..
COttle is sanguine that the road is a
good property and can he put on a

SOME OUTSIDE PAPERS
have got The impression that Salem
car lines are not good property, ig-
nOriug the fact that the city sup
ports four and a-half miles of elec
tric line, III addition to the horse car
system; that tue business is divided
at two important points. The cleo
lric line has become profitable
piece of property, the territory of
The horse cal line having been to
some extent invaded by it. If the
horse car line can be extended to
new territory, increase of popula-
ion on its present lines will make it
equally valuable in few years. For
the best interests of Salem the two
systems should be under one man
agement. The mileage from High
land park to the fair grounds, and
up Center street could then be saved.
The useles expense of building a
second line of track from CONNER
cial street 10 the S. P. depot would
be avoided. The public has an in
terest in not being taxed to maintain
a double system to all the important
points of traffic. THE JOURNAL
discusses the situation purely from
the public standpoint, having no in-
terest in either company, except to
see them prosper. Salem should
have ouly one street car system to
maintain.

Is TnE rELEoRAM FOR IANEq

The Portland Telegram makes a
great mistake in taking sides for
DIR. Lane. It makes n mistake
when it says of Dr. Rowland, now
superintendent of the asylum for
insane:
"He first digs up u report of his
predecessor, which neither that gen.
tleman nor the board designed for
publication, and causes It to be pub
lished, evidently because II showed
an unpleasant state of feelings be-
tween the governor and DIR. Lane.
TINS was source of 50 much salts
faction aud JOY to the new superin-
teudent that he at once exhibits his
partisan auimus and prejudice by
giving out this report for publica-
tiOn. 1t is true that il was interest
ing reading, aud that, being a report
of state official to his superiors,
might be considered public property;
but it was not in good taste for Row
land, not yet warm In his seat, to go
nosing around for something that
would make partisan capital" )"
The fact is Dr. lane was anxious
to have his report published, and
offered II TO THE JOURNAL for pub
lcatiOu aud seemed anxious 10 have
TIE JOURNAL publish il and offered
to furnish copy for publication.
When THE JOURNAL found it con-
tained little more than an airing of
his personal conflicts with his Demo-
cratic friends, whom he therein
made out to be anything under the
sun but worthy of bis confidence,
from the governor down to the hum.
blest voter we had not space for it
in our columns.
THE JOURNAL believes that The
Telegram does DR.. Rowland a great
injustice in the above clipping. Its
reputation for fairness is at stake
1t has been misled by DR.. Lane, and
will no doubt make the proper cor
rection, unless it wishes to pose as a
