GETTING ABOUT PARIS.

The Streot Cars and Omnibuses of the
 City and the Rates of Fares.
 The means of passenger transit In Paris is something that will interest a great many people the coming year, in view of the throngs that will visit the exposition. It is effected by electri- city, steam, compressed air and horse- power There are three tramway lines serving Paris and the suburbs, and onl- nibuses are generally used throughout the city. One of the aforementioned tram lines belongs to the Compagnie Generale des Omnibus, and the other two are practically controlled by the same company; so that 1t can be said to have monopoly of the entire pas senger transit, exclusive of cabs and carriages. It is a stock company, or ganized in 1855. having obtained from the city the exclusive right to transport passengers from one point to another in the city of Paris. The concession expires on the 31st of May, 1910. The omnibuses are of two sizes, and drawrs by two or three horses respectively The smaller model is arranged for 28s to 30 places GA outside, IA inside and two on the platform). The larger model affords accommodations for 20 on top and 20 inside, including four on platform. The fare on the top Is 15 centimes (near cents); inside and on platform, 30 centimes (nearly cents). The payment of the aforementioned fare entities the passenger to "cor- respondenceo or transfer ticket to an- other connecting or intersecting line. No passengers are taken on when the places are filled, either at station or en route. At the starting points num- beTed tickets are handed to the pas- sengers, and when there are more than enough to fill one conveyance the pre- cedence is given to those holding the. first numbers. The next omnibus or car starting begins with the number last uncalled on the previous vehicle. The same system prevails at the fixed stations en route for vacant places. No standing In the aisle is allowed. The statistics for 1896 show the number of passengers carried as follows: B lines of omnibuses (26 to 30 places), 50,030, 034; IA lines of omnibuses GAO places), 79,349,631; 8 lines of steam tramways, 12,862, ,990; 23 lines of horse tramways. 87,092,926; 4 lines Of compressed air and electricity, 1O,705, $40; total, 240.- 040,291. The distances traversed by the divers lines vary from about two miles to little over four miles.

ELECTION DAY COMING.
A Mule Paid $4.S3 Taxes Wednesday
 Sold for $5.00.

It is very evident from the tide that is now running that election day is fast approaching.
 An incident happened Wednesday that will eorroborate this assertion. It is as follows: A certain gentle man and wealthy planter in this city held a Inortage on some land in the country. The same was fore- closed. The planter brought Lack withthim a mule from the place and sold it in Pine Bluff Wednesday for So. This act had not grown cold when county official presented tax bill of $4 S3 on the mule. The man who sold the mule paid the taxes and got netfor his mule 17c.

An derson,. of tke First Methodist church, preached at II a. m. a pow erful sermon. and many were moved to tears. Several came forward for prayers, after which a line was formed in the hall, and the people marched to the corner of Pine and Barraque streets, where dinner was served.

The tables fairly groaned beneath the weight Of chicken, turkey, sliced ham, been

DEMOCRACY VS. THE MACHINE.

Government for the people Is the ideal
result 10 be obtained under our form of
government That is Democracy, in
the sense Of the interest Of all being pro-
tected instead Of the interest Of the few,
or Of some particular class. Govern
ment for the people il the opposite Of
government for the party or the office
holders.
Salem has at present Democratic
city government, in the strict sense Of
the term. II II not Democratic in the
party sense. Although Democrats are
helping conduct it, they are not acting
In the interest Of the Democratic party
as such, or of Democratic machine poll
ticans. The Democrats in the city
council are all the better Democrats
when they act conscientiously for ali the
people instead of acting for faction or
for few bosses. This city administra-
tion was inauguratcd by leading Repub-
Leans Of this city, who defeated their
own party nominees, beat their own
party machine, and when they keep
their pledges in serving the taxpayers
instead of the managers they are all the
better Republicans.
For holding primaries, managing con-
yentions, and carrying the party ticket,
the machine in theend always taxes the
people. The taxpayer must pay the ex-
penso Of government and then pay ex-
penses OF the machine besdos--a double
tax under the machine system. Under
the Democratic or peoples rule the tax
payer pays only for what he gets.
The rule of a citizens administration
gives the taxpayer the use of money at
four percent instead of eight; runs the
city $1,000 ahead in six months instead
of 5000 behindi puts money in the city
and county treasury instead OF running
