OHKG ON STATESMAN: FRIDAY. APlilL, 15. 1887 TOPICS OP THE TIMES. ENCoritB home induntry. IUv yon lieard from Michigan? Aftku all, tli (watimt finhery trouble is when they won't bit. Jahck Ci. Blaine i reported as ill. The people ( the west hope that it ia nothing tterions. Oni out of each 817 people in the United States in in jail, and we are Jain to iv that two ought to be. Thkri w ill be more building done in Salem this year than in any mngle twelve month of the hint decade. "IK) ye moind that?" Tub election of O. A. Waller as coun cilman from the third ward, in place of F. Folnom, iH a good one. Mr. Waller makes a good councilman. Tin state and count news nervine of the Oregonian bus lately been much im .roved. Their report from the capital city iH an enpecially good one. They tried "prohibition" in Michigan once, and they did not want to wade through free rum ami coat bills again; so they properly voted it down. Ir I'inkerton'o detectives have nothing better to do they might put in their time searching F.astern cities to ee what has lieconie of ttie Democratic party. This time it is the south pole, and a (ie.rman Huron is after it. it may be proper to put in the original remark in this connection that the fools art- not all dead yet. The railroads of the United States are liable to be so tied up by the workings of the interstate commerce law that the Canadian l'acific w ill step in and gobble np the trade. AVith all the applicants for postoffices in this country, it Heems too bad that the Bulgarian throne should go U'gging. Salem alone is able to supply a hundred such positions with likely rulers. An Eastern pajr says that the first life size portrait of Stephen Uirard painted nince his death is now on exhibition. How does Stephen look since bis death, and how can his portrait tie "life size"? The jiowers are again reminded that it will be necessary to bait the Bulgarian throne with a chromo. The rash young prince Alexander Batten berg has again declined the rulership of that country. The general telegraphic news service of the 1'ortland News is now as good as that of any paper on the I'ucifu: coast out Hide of San Francisco. It is a very com plete compendium of the world's news. By treating the immigrants who come among us well, we will induce others to come. Whoever bilks or cheats an im tnigrant commits an offense aurainst the future growth and prosperity of the coun try. To-iay being Sunday it is a good time to again remind the people that Salem and valley points want Sunday trains. The mail arrives all right to-day at Fort land and at Ashland, but it lies there and we are literally shut out from the outside world for one day out of the seven. Tiieke are many large farms in this section offered for sale. If the ow ners of these lari;e farms would divide them up into fortv to eighty acre tracts, they coul 1 Hell t'.ieru at good figures. Nine immigrants ntu of every ten are looking for small places. They are used to small places. The rain is retarding the work of the fanners in their sprint; seeding, and also prevents much early gardening being done. "Old Frob's" is resjiectfiillv a (ealed to by a righteously-Indignant pub lic for a chance of weather, or farmers will have to take a change of venue and move their farms and gardens to some other country. Some eastern people seem prone t V. lieve that White'aw Keid, of the New York Tribune, and Murat Halstea l, of the Cincinnati Commercial, are entitled to the credit of running the politics of this country, and when those "Sir Ora cles" speak let no dog bark, in the lan guage of Shakespeare, as it were. Who has delegated to them this authority? Wnx the people of Salem let 1H87 slip by without inaugurating some enterprise to help the growth of the city? Jast year they built the bridge, arid the new brick block now receiving its finishing touches followed the completion of that Btructure. So much for 1HHU. But Salem's greateHt need is theoeration of manufac tures here, the employment of labor, and the consumption of raw materials. Too much stress cauuot be placed upon this point. a-Vh do something in this line during the current year. They have tried "prohibition" in Mas sachusetts and Michigan, and afterwards repealed the law ; and now they have re fused to vote it into the constitution of Michigan again. Will the testimony of such facts as these not point a moral to Oregon voters ? or will they "go it blind" and vote for "prohibition" regardless of consequences, vote for a law that will not stop drunkenness, that will not build up society, but will demoralize it? These are questions that should be considered dispassionately, and voters should not jump at conclusions. It is a serious matter, this thing of voting a law into the constitution which is distasteful to a great body of the people. Thk exploit of Bishop, the mind reader in Chicago recently, w ill pretty much ex plode the theories of the ingenious people who have been trying to explain his suc cess on the hypothesis that the people whom he leads to the place w here the subjects have concealed an article reailv lead him by involuntary motions of the body. He stopped in his room at the Palmer house and gave his audience per mission to conceal a scarf pin within the radius of a mile from the hotel. When the pin had been duly placed, he wifw blindfolded and his head enveloped is a bag. He then entered an open wagon and drove directly to the spot and found the pin. Traffic on the streets was block ed by the crowds that witnessed tbe sin gular sjiectacle until after the finding oi the pin. The argument of "Hesperus" in yes terday morning's paper has been highly Spoken of, and is truly a "clincher" against the fallacy of hard-shell prohibi tion. The idea of substitut ing leual enact ments for the original plan of salvation is a novel ioVa, and entirely consistent w ith the line of reasoning of the hard-shell prohibitionists. This would also do away with the preachers and churches, and' would f ave a great deal of worry and ex pense. While we are "prohibiting," let' embrace the whole line of evils, and, as. of course, the law would t enforced, have a society that will bean immncnlate model of purity, and the millennium will be here. Oh, such a nice lltonghtl And the beauty of it all is that it is all possi ble, if we may be permitted lo lielieve the arguments of the hard shell prohibi tionists. A Jersey editor undertook to crack a joke anil now he is in a fair Way to go to jail for his pains. Me said that a very suspicions merchandise of postage stamps was going on at the postothce. Ho bad credible information that the two clerks there had for some time been selling stamps at the rate of thirteen for a cent and a quarter. The ieople were shot-Veil, and a few days later a postolfiee department in S ector came down to investigate the al leged offense. Of coin.e no clerk could sell tluirteen stamps for a cent and a quarter unless he stole them. The clerks violently denied the charge, and the in spector waited on the newspaper man for his proof. "Why of corrse the story is true," exclaimed the man of the quil, "a cent, and a quarter make twenty-six cents, don't they '!" But in Jersey such gags do not go down. The clerks have commenced a suit for damages, and are going to have the joker indicted for criminal libel, and the smart journalist has left off laughing. THE I'UOHIIHTION FALLACY. F.iiiTOR Statesman: In view of the fact .that the people of Oregon will soon have an opportunity to express their views as to the merits of prohibition, at theballotbox.it becomes every friend and advocate of the best interests of so ciety , to take a calm dispassionate view of the subject, guided by the history of facts, as they relate to the subject under consideration, unbiased by an enthusias tic display of declamation and buncombe, coupled with inordinate egotism and self righteousness. As rational teings we should study the history of similar efforts in the pas, and profit by the experience of those who lived before us, and if pre vious elforts have been barren of good re sults, search for the cause of failure, and then seek for a more efficient remedv. The enthusiastic, superficial observer will often mistake symptoms for disease results for cause, and is thereby led to erroneous conclusions as to trie remedv to le applied. A prescription based on an incoi red diagnosis, can prove curative only bv fortunate accident. Inseaiehing for a first cause, then, let ub get back as nearly as possible to the beginning, and premise tv saving, that in every normal ly constituted infant brain, there are the germinal principles of mind and consci ence. All of tfie prominent attributes of the perfect man are germinal or embry onic in infancy. 1 he intellect may deve op and expand within certain limits from ideas acquired by mere observation. But conscience, the basis ot morals, must re ceive its primary impulse by being warm ed into active growth, in the sunlight of a mother's love and tender guidance, fortified and strengthened by the sacred influences of home and fireside. If these vivifying influences ure withheld during infancy and childhood, the germ of con science is atmrted and rendered incapable of development afterward, and a "moral monstrosity" i.- thrust upon the world. The savage Indian is an illustration of the results of this primary neglect. We mav make a material illustration of this idea, by supposing an infant, physically perfect, to have one limb so secured as to render it perfectly passive. The develop ment of that limb soon becomes embar rassed, and ultimately ceases to make progress. Tbe vital principle which pre sides over physical developement has been balked and thwarted until it ceases to make further tlfort; demonstrating t it- i.n-t, that mentally, morally, or phy sically, our progress depends ujion care fully nur-iiiig the original basic vital prin ciple, and is therefore a subject of educa tion and culture, and not ot law. i wish theieior to impress the belief that it is defective moral training, dicipline and culture which constitute the cause of drunkeness and its coterie of immoral concomitants and that the primary le8 son must lie given in early lite, while subject to military home influences oth erwise the opportunity is lost, and the character may be formed on another and an undesirable plan. Then come the school and church influences and teach ings, to complete the evolution of the in tellectual and moral man. Nevertheless, it will often occur to the mind, that in our schools, as ordinarily conducted, mo ral expansion is too often lost sight of, in the race for purely intellectual acquire ments, and as a consequence many brill iant minds become moral bankrupts in after years. How very many can truth fully say, "In the hour of temptation, I was saved, by the recollection of a moth er's prayers, a father's precepts and ex am pie, and the sacred influences of home, exerted in my early life"? And how many have fallen, in consequence of hav ing been deprived of those influences! The only true and lasting remedy for in temperance, and indeed every type of im morality, must be a remedy that makes men better, makes them love purity, for the sake of purity ; that makes them prize an approving conscience above all else that makes them just to all from love of the eternal principle of justice in short, that makes men conscientious and moral as well as intellectual, by educating in the way above indicated, by beginning early, and continuing long. Spasmodic efforts in effecting moral re form, are never attended with lasting suc cess. That an apal to the lawmaking pow er must in future as in the past, prove a failure seems evident for the follow ing reasons: It is based on a misapprehen sion of the laws which govern the in tellectual and moral forces of men. Law does no' convince nor convert. Eaw d ies not make men morally better. :al enactment canjnever control theappe ti:e, cure disomania, nor prevent the ac quirement of that allliction. It disputes the inherent right to jMjssess or maintain an individuality. Even if legislation is to prove the panacea which prohibitionists profess to believe it will, and cure the im moral and abnormal condition precedent and concedeut with the use of alcohol, and thereby accomplish the moral regen eration of men, as it relates to this par ticular form of vice, thev are still inconsis tent, in not giving us a law so broad and comprehensive, that by its simple enact ment can cure all the sintul tendencies which tllict Adam's degenerate posterity and thereby insure a millennial era in thirtv days from the passage of the bill and signature of the governor, ror if legislation will prevent or cure drunken ness, it must do so by accomplishing mo ral reform. If law can do this in one par ticular it certainly can in others. Hence the proposed amendment is perfectly con sistent, and if prohibitionists are sincere, they ought joyfully to accept it, ami there by give to the world, a generation so mor ally pure as to he fit inhabitants for the celestial kingdom. Indeed, it would prove an adjunct, if not a substitute for the ori ginal plan of salvation -and this idea is not extravagant, in view of the fact that not a few of the ministers of the gospel abandon their pulpits to make prohibi tion stump siieeelies during every politi cal campaign, and bv their actions, at least, turning away from the bible doc trine of spiritual and moral regeneration, through t he efficacy of the blood of Christ, and all, in favor of the pitiful and irra tional plea for "constitutional amend ment," forgetting that law never convin ces nor converts, and consequently can afford no incentive to moral reformation. Efforts at legal prohibition are by no means new, and have always been con spicuous for theirfailure. letus give a few illustrations, bv first calling attention to the effort to legally and otherwise pro hibit the use of tobacco when first intro duced into England by Sir Francis Drake. King James I of England issued the first formal mandate interdicting the weed in his dominion. To restrain the cultivation of tobacco in Virginia, and prevent its ex portation into England, several arbitrary measures were attempted during the reign of James I. Following this effort, the Popes Urban and Innocent XII both issued edicts of excommunication against all those w ho took either snulf or tobacco. By some of the Swiss Cantons, smoking was considered a crime second only to adultery, and to cap tbe climax of severi ty against this poor plant, Amurath IV made the use of tobacco a crime punish able by death. Here is an etfort at pro hibition for yon ; and from a source that meant business from an autocratic pow er the violation of whose mandates meant death, with the torments of purgatory to follow. And still, Professor Heck tells us, "the fragrant weed flourished, and loval subjects and devout Christians, sturdy republicans and slavish Asiatics, all, re sist the law and yield to the influence oi tobacco." You "find it in the palace and the poor-house, in the stately mansion anil the humble cottage. The lonely ex ile solaces his weary hours with it the joyous freeman exults in its influence. Wherever man is found, its influence is felt and acknowledged. The citizen whiffs his perfumed cigar, the poor man smokes his sooty pipe, the sailor chews his delic ious quid, the matron rejoices in her pinch ofsnuir. On the mountain top and in the lonely valley, on the land and on the broad expanse of ocean, in the dark mines of Pennsylvania and the glittering halls of Persia, on the rugged hills of Sw itzerland and in the gold bearing valleys of Calfor nia, amid the snow s of the north and un der the burning sun of the tropics, in bat tle and in peace, in storm and in calm, in wealth and in poverty, in health and in sickness, the king and the subject, the master and the slave, youth, manhood and old age all, all bow io the magic power of tobacco." With such an encour aging precedent, who would not advocate legal prohibition ? But prohibitionists tell ue, they are educating the people up to the point where it can be enforced. Still the fact obtrudes itself, that the bet ter men are informed on this subject the less confidence they have in legal prohi bition as a remedy for the curse of intem perance, it tiievmean toeuucaiemen io conscientiously discharge their duty to , themselves, and in the line oi periect mo- rality, then, indeed iB it a noble work, but when accomplished, prohibition will not be required. Why is it that prohibi tion is not a success in Iowa, or Kansas? Prohibitionists say, they are not strong 1 enough to enforce the law. This is in ; deed remarkable. They are strong enough to secure an amendment toa constitution, and to secure the enactment of necessary legislation, but cannot enforce the laws after their enactment. This circumstance proves the inherent weakness and inefii- ciency of their plan and is emphasized by the fact that they never nave yet, in any instance, been strong enough to se cure the enforcement of such laws. There is no trouble in the enforcement of a law which the people want and approve and the moral effect of a law which cannot be enforced, is altogether bad, as it tends toa disregard for all law. In conclusion, it must be apparent, that a plan which, after fair trial, for hundreds of years has universally teen attended by inglorious failure, ought to convince the most obtuse prohibitionist of the fallacy of further at tempting legal prohibition.

DEATH: IN JHE WATER. IS THE ELEMENT WE DRINK DECIMATING THE PEOPLE? How TJnl-rwt&l Heatoa to Health May Be Diaarmad. A few years ago the people in a certain section in one of the leading cities of the State were prostrated with a malignant disease, and upon investigation it was found that only those who used water from a famouv old well were the victims. Professor S. A. Lattimore, analyst of the New York State Board of Health, upon analyzing water from this well, found it more deadly than the city sewage I The filling up of the old well stopped the ravages of the disease. Not long since the writer noticed wltf e some men were making an excavatir-i for a large building, a stratum of dari colored earth running from near the surface to hard pan. There it took br other cotirga toward a well near at han The water from this well had for year been tainied with the drainings from receiving vault, the percolations of which bad discolored the eartU! Terrible! A similar condition of things exists in every village and city where well wate? is used, and though the filtering which the fluids receive in passing through tbn earth may give them a clear appearance, yet the poison and disease remains, though the water may look never an clear. It is still worse with the farmer, fot the drainage from the barn-yard and the slops from tie kitchen eventually find tbeir way into the family well ! The same condition of things exists in our large cities, whose water supplies are rivers fed by little streams that carry off the filth and drainage from houses. This "water" is eventually drunk by rich and poor alike with great evil. Some cautious people reBortto the filter for purifying this water, but even the filter docs not remove this poison, for water of the most deadly character may pass through this niter and become clear, yet the poison disguised is there. They who use filters know that they must be renewed at regular periods, for even though they do not take out all the impurity, they goon become foul. Now in like manner the human kid neys act as a filter for the blood, and if they are filled up with impurities and become foul, like the filter, all the blood in the system coursing through thembe comes bad.for it is now a conceded fact that the kidneys are the chief means whereby the blood is purified. These organs are filled with thousands of ftair likt tubt$ which drain the impurities from the blood, as the sewer pipes drain impurities from our houses. If a sewer pipe breaks under the house, the sewage escapes into the earth and fills the house with poisonous gas ; so if any of the thousand and one little hair like sewer tubes of the kidneys break down, the entire body is affected by this awful poison. It is a scientific fact that the kidneys have few nerves of sensation ; and, con sequently, disease may exist in these organs lor a long time and not be sus pected by the individual. It is impossi ble to filter or take the death out of the blood when the least derangement exists in these organs, and if the blood is not filtered then the uric acid, or Judney poison, removable only by Warner's safe cure, accumulates in the system and at tacks any organ, producing nine out of ten ailments, just as sewer gas and bad drainage produce so many fatal disorders Kidney disease may be known to exist if there "is any marked departure from ordinary health without apparent known cause, and it should be understood by all that the greatest peril exists, and is in tensified, if there is the least neglect to ireat it promptly with that great specific, Warner's safe cure, a remedy that has received the highest recognition by scientific men who have thoroughly in vestigated the character of kidney de rangements. They may not tell us that the cause of so many diseases in this organ is the im pure water or any other one thing, hut this poisonous water with its impurities coursing constantly through these deli cate organs undoubtedly does produce much of the decay and disease which eventually terminate in the fatal Bright's disease, for this disease, alike among ttie drinking men, prohibitionists, the to bacco slave, the laborer, tbe merchant and the tramp, works terrible devasta tion every year. It is well" Known that the liver which is so easily thrown "out of gear" as they say, very readily disturbs the action of the kidneys. That organ when deranged, immediately announces the fact by sal low skin, constipated bowels, coated tongue, and headaches, but the kidney when diseased, struggles on for a long time, and the fact of its disease can only be discovered by the aid of the micros cope or by the physican who is skillful enough to trace the most indirect effects in the system to the derangement of these organs, as the prime cause. The public is learning much on this subject and when it comes to under stand that the kidneys are the real health regulators, as they are the real blood purifiers of the system, thoy will escape an infinite amount of unnecessary suf fering, and add length of days and happi ness to their lot.
