He Don't Deny What The Journa
Charged HIM With.
DR.. w. A. Cusick has another letter
in the Oregonian today, in which he
does not deny the specific jobs which
THE JOURNAL charged him with
We repeat those charges, and he can.
not deny them successfully. He has
been one of the worst leeches and
tax-eaters this city, county and state
has had to deal with.
The editor Of THE JOURNAL ha;
not in several years had the honor Of
conversing with DR.. Cuslck about
political matters. He has charged
THE JOURNAL editor with no crime
or wrongful act.
ABOUT MAYOR CATCH.
DR.. Cusick now writes the Orego
nian as follows:
Again, did you or did you not "dis
pose of your services" for money tC
Napoleon Davis when he was the
Democratic candidate for mayor, OF
Salem, simply because he paid you
more money than Claude Catch, the
Republican cand idate for the same
Office, would give you?
THE JOURNAL supported Davis foI
mayor, againstSGatch. Davis was
the citizens candidate. He was sup
ported by too many frauds like Cusick
for the people to ardently support
him. He paid his legitimate cam
paign expenses, as no doubt chairman
DIR. J. n. Smith.did on the other side.
Mayor Gatch's administration has
had no more ardent supporter than
THE JOURNAL. In his vetOes of all
the ocity and street bond schemes
Mayor Catch has been opposed by
Cusick ct al, alleged bankers, and
supported by The JOURNAL. The
insane proposition that Mayor Catch
offered The JOURNAL money for ITS
support, when it was supporting
Napoleon Davis, could only .eman-
ated from the diseased mind
of a splenetic gold soak like DIR.
Cusick. Hon. Claud Catch is today
politically opposed to The JOURNAL,
but no more honorable gentleman or
more conscientious, public spirited
disinterested nan lives in private or
public life than Mayor Catch, this
Crank Cusick with his overbearing
strut, to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. Billingsgate will not answer
the charges which THE JOURNAL
has published against DR.. Cusick.
There may be an investigation of the
management Of state institutions
some day that shall not be white
wash. Then the truth Of our charges
will be established.
Your mind is equally erratic,in your
lying assertions about The JOURNAL
editor and L. II. Mcmahon. Mr.. Nc
Mahon is warmly supporting the edi-
tor of THE JOURNAL on the stump,
even while you are sitting in your
bank concocting garbled lies about you
betters. You have probably pretended
to be McMahOn's friend only to be-
tray him, as you have many another.

IMPROVEMENT ITEMS.
Residences Being Constructed -- Ou'
City Hall.

Residences Being Constructed - Our
City Hall.
Governor w. p. Lord has recently
constructed substantial sidewalk
about his residence property in South
Salem besides otherwise preparing for
the rainy season so near at hand.
The work of building on an addition
to the Cook hotel is progressing
nicely. The framework has been
completed and plastering done but
the work of painting and the applica-
tion of other finishing touches, re-
mains yet to be done. Mr. Myers, the
owner of the property, will expend
about 81 800 in these Improvements
which when completed will permit
this hotel to compare favorably with
any other hotel of its class on the
coast. It's Accommodations will be
doubled.
E. Breyman is making some sub
stantial and much needed improve
ments to his residence property on
Church and Court streets. The beau
tiful lawn that has heretofore an
nually been converted into a pond,
during the rainy season owing to in
sufficient drainage, has been filled in,
while cement walk is being laid
along the south side of his residence.
John Heidecker, the well-knOwn con-
tractor, is constructing the walk
which will be another evidence of
that gentleman's superior work in
that line.
nc. Van Patten, until recently car
penter at the Chemawa Indian train
ing school, has built a handsome
residence in East Salem the past sum-
mer, which compares favorably with
other residences in that portion Of
the capital city.
The labor exchange is cOnstructin &
a one-story brick building at the rear
of the Harritt & Lawrence grocery
store. The building is being con-
structed for the Geo. H. Turner estate
and will be used for butcher shop.
About 10000 of brick made by the
exchange is being used in the con-
struction of the building. The bri OK
work will be completed by the 9th
inst.
The members of Central Chapel
have recently solicited subscriptions,
purchased a lot and are now erecting
cozy little house of wo rship at the
corner of Nineteenth streets, which
when completed will be great credit
to the city.
Laborers are furnishing the con-
struction of the large wharf at the
Labor Exchange ware house. The
exchange is now prepared to receive
all kinds Of produce to be shipped to
Portland on commission.
The elegant residence of B. f.
Fostner, on North Commercial street
is rapidly nearing completion. The
building will involve an expenditure
of $500. The carpenter work was
done by Wickstrom & Cheney, while
Churchill & Burrows, the we'll known
plumbers, are looking after that part
of the work. 1t will be one of the
handsomest residences in the city
when completed.

No Debate Offered.

Some goldites, at Zena, claim that
when Willis Dunniway was there to
speak he offered to debate with j. X,
Sears. Mr.. S ,ars writes denial that
his challenges to debate have all been
refused. Mr.. Sears has been ready
and is now ready to meet Mr.. Dunni-
way or any goldite speaker at Zena or
Salem or anywhere else. They can
not or will not debate.

Local Dlptheria.

About seven cases Of diptheria, that
dangerous contagious disease, have
been reported to the city board of
health. So far as can be ascertained
none Of these cases are of a malignant
nature. But should any such case be
discovered the utmost caution should
be exercised to prevent its spreading.
Each citizen should consider it his
duty to report all cases of this dread
disease to the health officers who
threaten to enforce the law regarding
the failure to carry out the provisions
of the city's ordinance regarding this
disease.

NEWSPAPERS AND POLITICS.

Some people have somehow acquired
the notion that there is money in poll
tics for the newspapers. This is one
of the greatest mistakes the public has
evermade in its opinion of newspapers.
We do not doubt but occasionally there
is "a newspaper that makes some money
out of Il political campaign, but they
are exceptions rather the rule. The
experience of the STAR editor is that a
political campaign creates an expense
rather than a profit, for as a campaign
progresses if the editor has any con
victions concerning the issues involved
he will devote more and more time and
space to the cause, and. aroused by
discussion, he will labor early and late
to present the best arguments possible
with the possibility of victory as his
only reward-and then victory most
times is only the barren satisfaction of
not losing, excepting the reward that
all alike share in when prosperity
comes through q victory of principles.
Concerning this question Of newspa-
pers and politics the Davenport, Ia,
Democrat says that "politics is only an
incident of a newspapers business, and
the one, perhaps, which yields the
smallest return to most newspapers.
This is not the view taken 10y part of

A press dispatch. speaking of the
formation of Il sandstone trust, says
81 ractically all the building sandstone
quarried i'll the country, east of the
Rocky mountains, comes from Ohio,

being IL small spot near Denver"
This is news indeed. What has be-
come of the Minnesota sandstonequar
ries? Minnesota has inexhaustible
quantities of the finest building stone
in the world, including granite, sand
stone and other varieties. Minnesota
sandstone is recognized by builders
who are we'll posted as being among
the best.-St. Paul Dispatch.
Yes. and what's the matter with the
Black Hills snndstone-the best in the
world-and themost beautiful-various

We're generally elected for but one es-

Tho pops selected men from their
" ranks for their state and congress
sional ticket, and they have ono U. s..
senator who will be theirs till 1900.
They should now be gracious enough
to compromise a little and give way to
a free silver republican for U. s. sena-
tor. They should help elect a free sill
yer republican, for no one will deny
hut that the free silver republicans
gave them all the victory they secured
in the state. The FREQ silver republi-
cans carried the Hills against the re-
publican party, and the Hills made
their victory possible in the state.
Now If the pops have any gratitude, or
any political honesty, they will surely
repay their debt.
