Wattkkao! of the Louisville Courier
Journal would have the democratic party
of this great country blazon upon all its
campaign banners, "Give us free trade,
or give us death !" Hie doughty Henri
should pometw his fiery soul in patience
yet a little while. Republicans do not
deal in the first named medicine, but by
the fall of 1888, if nothing happens, their
stock of death will be full enough and
complete enough to satisfy all the demo
crats spared by the war.
Thk Dakotans are pretty angry because
Mr. Cleveland had notliing .to say in his
meeaage about their admission or their
exclusion from the union. The president
had evidently forgotten all about the new
state that was knocking for admission
From the democratic standpoint however,
that no state court ever be admitted that
would add to the republican strength in
congretui and in the electoral college there
isn't anything to say that will bear inspec
tion, and hence Mr. Cleveland did the
tiet he knew how by saying nothing.
If a great war in Europe breaks out the
United States will not be in condition to
occupy the dignified position of "armed
neutrality" and will Have to slide along
on the sea between the belligerents the
tst she may. It was Mr. Bayard, the
present secretary of state, that about
three years ago when his republican col
leagues in the senate were pleading for a
navy, said from his seat: "We give you
notice that not a dollar shall be spent in
thebuilding of a navy until the govern
ment is in the hands of the democratic
party." It is singular that the country
-did not wake up to the fact that Bayard
was a consummate ass until the demo
cratic party was actually in power with
Lint pretty nearly on top.
A ooon deal of a row is being made
over Mr. Cleveland's appointment of one
Morton of Maine as commissioner of navi
gation, lie is said to know nothing of
navigation. This is a common fault of
the appointees of this administration,
lie is said to lie the fellow who trumped
tip the gravestone and other charges
against Mr. Blaine. That is hardly worth
talking about. lie is too small game for
a presidential candidate. It is a mistake
for the friends of Senator Blaine to cry
about the appointment on that account.
Mr. Blaine not having been elected on
account of some outside squabbles con
cerning prohibition, etc., his political
wisdom now would consist in letting the
administration appoint his enemies' to of
fice as, much as it pleases.
"I iiavk just been reading Henry
George's book on the land question,"
sail a thoughtful professional man to a
Chicago Journal reporter, "and its vaga
riea only tbow how possible it is for a man
to be a good writer, an extensive reader
and a brilliant thinker, and yet tie devoid
-of good judgment and common sense, and
indeed, be a fool. His panacea for the
ills of lift is a tax on land which shall
equal the value of the land. He cannot
see tliat this tax would come out of the
tenant, instead of the landlord, just as the
present tax does. He can't see that if
this should work as he thinks it would,
land would be worth notliing to the land
lords, and then the tax would be nothing
also. He can't see that, if his scheme
worked all right, no one would build any
Iiouses. He can't see what a field for
enterprising appraisers would be opened,
if all the land had to be rented from the
government, and the rent be fixed, and
rival applicants decide between. I Ie can't
eee what an immense law business the
government would have on its bands with
its tenants. He doesn't say whether the
government would rent by the month,
the year or five years, nor how much
land one person might rent, nor whether
a person might sub-let any of his premis
es. He doesn't tell how men would be
come just as rich and powerful through
extensive leaseholds as they do now
through the ownership of landa. In short,
Henry George is a visionary and a fool,
and I predict that the labor party will
find it oat inside of two years."

The bells tolled the knell of the de
parting year of IS8S at midnight, and we
greet you now on the first morning of
the New Year. As the latt year of time
is buried in the graveyard of eternity, so
let us bury the ua pleasant mexaories of
the old year in the cemetery of forge t-
fulness, and recall only the good deeds,
the pleasant scenes, the gracious acta,
the kind words, and store them away in
the receptacles of oar memory, there to
reflect upon oar minds thoughts of grat
itude sad satisfaction. Let us also learn
lessons from the teachings of past exper
ience, and make the resolutions on this
day for a better future, for the exercise
of our abilities and talents and resources
in a wider scope of usefulness and
advancement and progress. Now,
standing as it were upon an eminence be
tween the valleys of the past and the fu
ture, is an appropriate txne to gather
new energies from the inspiration of past
successes and form them into new am.
bitiona for the future. Standing upon
this hypothetical eminence that divides
the valley of the past from the valley of
the future, we can see the field of oppor
tunities of the past well worked and oc
cupied; but on the other hand the field
of the future is new and the opportuni
ties for its developement are yet open
and ready for the plowshare of enterprise
and pluck, and will yield bountiful bar
vests to the industrious and prudent.
In this country there is no aristocracy
of opportunities. It is a democracy that
recognizes and rewards ability, energy,
prudence, and persistence; and it don't
ask your pedigree, if you combine these
qualities with honesty.
The past year has been an eventful one
for Salem and generally a prosperous
one for this section. We have grown
and advanced. We have extended the
arms of our influence and broadened the
field of our constituency. We have
aroused and awakened the latent ener
gies of our people. We have attuned our
resources' to the instruments of progress,
and we have advanced in all the material
requisites that go to make up a healthful
growth.
About $325,000 has been put into build
ings and improvements in the limits of
Salem daring the year 1886, and the
forces of advancement have not halted.
Our population has increased and kept
time with the steady tread of progress.
All that Salem now needs to insure her
rapid growth is the establishment of
manufacturing industries in our midst
We have every other requisite for the
building np of a great city. Every social
advantage may be found here, and Salem
is preeminently the residence city of the
state. She is the capital city of Oregon,
and has the advantage of all the public
buildings and institutions of this great
and growing state. We cannot afford
to yield any of the vantage ground al
ready fained There is no middle ground
of progress. There is no standstill We
mus$ either go on and on in the line of
progress or give way to some more en
terprising rival The more we do the
more we are able to do. While we are
progressing and advancing, let us not
halt nor falter, but speed our growth
with the added strength already ac
quired. All Salem wants is the united
efforts of her citizens, the concentration
of her enterprise. She has her future in
her own hands, and she alone will be to
blame if she does not grow and develop
and increase and extend her influence.
The Statesman has been kindly treated
by the old year. Its circulation has
grown steadily and its business con
stantly increased. It has made good
returns for the untiring industry re
quired in its publication, and starts off
the year 1887 with brighter prospects
than ever before. It will be the con
stant endeavor to keep the paper fully
abreast the advancement of the times,
and to make it all its patronage will per
mit, with a fixed determination to extend
its field.
We wish you. otie and all, a happy
and prosperous New Year.
TO HOME i-KKK Kits.
To the resident of the states east of the
Rockies, who is subject to the extremes
of heat and cold in summer and winter,
and who lives in constant dread of the
playful caprices of the elements, to the
people of the crowded east this state
presents an inviting field for immigra
tion. Blessed with a climate that is rare
ly equaled in any country, and with a
soil that returns generous harvests for
the pains of well-diiected industry, there
are yet opportunities open for home
seekers and home-builders and men of
small means; and also splendid chances
for the profitable investment of capital.
It is an axiom, that "crops never fail in
Oregon." We . want more men of push
and enterprise and pluck and prudence
and such will be encouraged and do well
here. We have enough of the indigent,
idle and shiftless, and this should -not
be construed as an invitation to that class.
If Salem advances as much daring the
new year as she did in 1886, she will do
exceedingly welL She should advance
even more.
A haptt and prosperous New Year to
all!
Don't write it with a 6 any longer.

One year ago this morning, January
1st, 1886, the 8tatkoAJI published the
following editorial It will t observed
that Salem now has every thing demand
ed in that article, except the woolen mill
She still wants the woolen mill, with a
fruit cannery, and all other mannfactar-
ng institutions that can find business
here and five employment to labor. let
1887 be the year for the inauguration of
manufacturing enterprises. Bead what
was said one year ago to-day:
WHAT SALEM WAXTS.
Salem wants a woolen mill! not a card
ing machine! not a carpet loom! not a
knitting machine; but a good every-day
woolen mill with all the latest machinery
and appliances, and with sufficient capi
tal and competent management to carry
nn a larae business and emnlov many
laborers. We should like for home capi
tal to have the credit of owning all or the
controlling interests in such an institu
tion, but we would not object to foreign
capital in case those men at home with
, ; it.
means ao not move m uie premises.
Salem wants a bridge acmes the Wil
lamette. We want the said bridge built
by the counties of Marion end Polk,-and
the city of Salem, with perhaps help
from private subscribers. We may not
get such a bridge this year, but we will
some time in the future. When it is
built we want a free bridge, that will
unite the two sides of the Willamette
river, and practically break the natural
barrier that now separates as trom the
other side.
Salem wants Willson Avenue and
Marion Square taken care of, and pre
served and improved for unborn genera
tions.
Salem wants a boom! not a wild, nn
tamed, cyclonic boom, with extravagant
figures and estimates on everything; but
a steady, growing and substantial boom,
that will infuse tLe breath of progress
into our very existence, and gradually
push as on to a busy bustling manufac
turing city, furnishing work to hundreds
of contented employes and a living mar
ket for all the products of the surround
ing country. Salem wants the freedom
of the ciiv hereafter denied to the vandal
bonnes that have been a standing men
ace to householders, and a lasting dis
grace to the spirit of progress that should
actuate us. Salem wants her cow pas
ture relegated to the memories of the
time when she wore the swaddling clothes
of a village.
All these things and many more Salem
wants. She wants them soon, and wants
them to be consummated or inaugurated
with the current year; if not all possible
in this year, then in some future year or
years.
NOD'S ANI VEK11S.
The tendency of American newspapers
to take unwarrantable liberties with cer
tain nouns is one of the most unsatisfac
tory features of contemporary journalism.
To turn a defenceless noun into an aggres
sive verb is an act as lawless as it is un
punishable. When a reporter asserts
that "John Smith suicided" he makes
his meaning clear, but he shocks the
rnerves of those conservatives who base
their English on dictionary precedent.
"Interview" used as a verb is another
outcome of journalistic independence.
But even the two words cited are by no
means the most striking illustrations of
the tendency referred to. A western
paper says that one of its subscribers
'Thanksgave" at home. Shades of Noah
Webster, what a word ! It is on a par
with another provincialism which some
times Bhocks the nerves in such a sen
tence as the following: "James X and
his brother Sundayed in town." The list
of these vagabond verbs might be in
definitely extended, but the above will
suffice.
It seems to be a characteristic of our
Ieople to take the shortest road to the
goal of their desires. The process of turn
ing nouns into verbs is one of the most
effective methods of making one word
serve the purpose of two or three. But is
elegance to be sacrificed for so petty an ob
ject? It is an undoubted fact that the
English language is the most flexible now
spoken, but there isajoint beyond which
philological liberties liecome vulgarities.
Let the noun-diturbing journalists of
America ponder deeply on this truth, and
there may come a time when we shall
hear no more of the men who "Thanks
gave" or "Sundayed."
As a common country lawyer, a man
can sweep out his own office", carry in his
coal and wait upon himself like other
white men, but transfer him to congress
in an unguarded hour, and it costs the
people more to hire and pay a step-and
fetch-it for him than the salary of a bank
president comes to. Especially is this so
with reference to senators. The esti
mates for clerks, messengers and waiters
of all kinds in the senate amount to near
ly ."i"0,000l or about $4,500 for each sena
tor for leing waited upon during the six
or eight months congress is in session.
Oi course these little items count and
help to swell the enormous expenses of
government; but people who kick are
cranks. The estimates for the coming
year under "reform" rule tell us that it
will cost atout 11,000,000 a day, not in
cluding Sundays, to engineer this great
country. Figure on your part of it and
then squeal if you want to.
Ox February 1st the Boston navy-yard
is to be closed, for the very good reason
that there is no necessity for keeping it
open. There is no desire to discriminate
against Rjeton in the act, but there is a
general feeling that we have a large
amount of yard to a very small amount of
navy, and that there ought to be a closer
fitness of thine.

KB. MANNING'S CERTIFICATES.
Mr. Manning, cur new minister to Mex
ico, has procured and published certifi
cates that he did not get drunk at a break
fast given to him at that capital, and after
ward disturb his neighbors by having an
attack of delirium tremens.
In a letter accompanying the certifi
cates Mr. Manning explains that it was a
midday breakfast of a very serious charac
ter. The party at table consisted of only
two gentlemen, besides his host and him
self, sjsi, so far from there having been
any hilarity, the conversation through
out was grave and improving. It was
about the industrial development of Mex
ico, and "I gained," says the minister,
"a mass of valuable and interesting in
formation that I could not have obtained
from books." Wine was drunk, but in
moderation. Subsequently he was con
fined to his room with a cold and pneu
monia.
In proof that be did not misbehave
himself at the breakfast Mr. Manning
produces the certificate of one of his fel
low guests, an American, that "he was
not in the least under the influence of
wine." The chief of the dining room of
his hotel "kindly tendered his statement
that the minister "was never under the
Influence of liquor or wine while here,
and drank very little of either." A man
who occupied the room next to his at the
hotel certifies that he never heard any
unusual noise in Mr. Manning's apart
ment, such as, presumably, would have
been made by a victim of delirium tre
mens. Finally, a physician tontines that
the minister suffered from pneumonia
aggravated by a cold room.
But is it not strange that a diplomatic
representative should find it necessary to
procure such certificates?
THK "KEAUV LAW."
If seems that the '.'Keady lienor law"
is to be a source of never ending litiga
tion.
The bill for the law was first introduced
in the house, it will be remembered, when
it read, section 1, "that no erson shall
be permitted to sell spirituous, malt, or
vinous liquor in this state in quantities
less than one gallon, without having first
obtained a license from the county court
of the proper county for that purpose."
It is now claimed that the records of the
senate will show that the bill was amend
ed so as to read in quantities less
than one quart , and that the clerk
of the senate was instructed to so inform
the house.
It is further claimed, that the clerk of
the senate then sent a message to the
house, informing that body, that the bill
had been amended so as to read in
quantities less than one gallon."
Of course this little difference in the
message and the clerk's instructions pass
ed without notice the house "concurred
in the senate amendment," and the bill,
as originally introduced became a law.
The law is now before the supreme
court, in a case apialed from Astoria,
and should the supreme court not concur
in the decision of t lie lower court, then
Oregon would be plainly without a law
regulating the liquor trade.
The matter is worthy the consideration
of your legislators, and they should fully
understand the matter, and in case the
above alleged facts are substantiated,
they should make their first duty, the
rectifying of thisanother "mistake."
ILLINOIS IN Til K SENATK.
(ien. Logan will be remembered as par
ticipating in two remarkable contest for a
seat in the I'nited States senate. The
first one, in which, after many ballotings,
he was defeated by David Davis, settled
the political status of the presidency Jot
four years by giving that office to Mr.
Hayes, instead of to Mr. Tilden. The
other was the accomplishment of his own
election against an adverse majority by
the remarkable strategy of choosing a re
publican by stealth in a strong democrat
ic district of his state. Mr. C. B. Farwell,
a capitalist of Chicago, has long desired
his seat, and will make much effort to
obtain it, with, rhaj, better propvt8
of succees than any one "lse. Illinois is
not so fruitful in able men as she was in
the days of Lincoln and Itouglas, and
since their death Gen. Ig:in has oc
cupied a position of undisputed political
prominence over all others. Boston
Herald.
Kansas capitalists never tire of build
ing new railroads with an immense
amount of capital stock all over the coun
try, on paper. The newest trunk line
started is one directly from lJuluth to the
southern boundary of that state. They
make a little in this industry by going
around to county seats holding meetings
and raising three to five hundred dollars
"to pay expenses of a preliminary survey."
It is not a great bonanza but it pavs
tolerable wages to the president and di
rectors who manage to save a few dollars
by the strict economy of their preliminarv
surveys.
Mr. Piekre Lobbilard advocates "a

WISE SILENCE.
Everybody pitched savagely into the
English Gen. Butler who declined to come
in and submit himself to the mercy of the
court trying the Campbell divorce suits.
The counsel on both sides took a shot at
him. The judge on the bench, when he
delivered his charge, gave him a broad
side, and the jury, after finding every
body else innocent, added to its verdict
by way of a rider a loud denunciation of
the "meanness of Gen. Butler" for not
coming into court and "clearing his
skirts.
It looks to the .Statesman as though
Butler was wise to stay out. If he had
appeared and sworn that the charge that
he had been too intimate with the lady in
the case was untrue, he would have been
confronted with keyhole witnesses who
would have sworn that they saw it all.
He would have been dragooned by a lot
of cheeky and shrewd lawyers on the
other side, who would have demanded
his public and private history from the
time he was three years old and upward,
and who would examine minutely into
every little escapade at school or adoles
cent revelry at the barracks.
A fellow mixed up in an English di
vorce suit has to stand all these things
and there is no protection for himj in the
suggestion that what he did years and
years before he met the co-defendant,
has nothing to do with the merits of the
case. Notiody would have attached the
slighest weight to his denial as that is
considered a matter of ceurse among En
glish gentlemen, while if he had not de
nied it he would have been everlastingly
disgraced.
It is evident that the attack on Butler
for doing the wisest thing in his power
and staying away, is quite silly. He
could have done no more good to either
party than did the other fifty witnesses or
so that appeared. Notody cared what
tiiey said, so it was nasty enough to make
a sensation in the pajiers. The truth or
falsity of the testimony was hardly thought
of, and the verdic t indicates that the jury
did not believe anything that a single
soul testinea to in tne course ol ttie pro
ceedings. What was the use of Butler
there?
WANTED A KOAI).
The people of Salem and all this sec
tion should encourage the construction of
a free wagon road over the Cascade
mountains by way of the Minto pass. The
support of the eople east of the nioun
tains is assured thev are in favor of a
free wagon road, to a man. They want
a better way to market, and the jeople of
this section should lend their aid to see
that they get what they want. A free
wagon road over the Cascades would le
of great benefit to the people of the hunch,
grass region, and it would materially
help this section. It would enable our
merchants to supply a large custom that
is now cut off by these mountains.
The legislature will be asked to make an
appropriation to build a road through the
Minto pass. The state is now amply able
to do this. It will not le in the interest
of any particular section, hut of all the
eopIe on both sides of the mountains.
Better use could not lie made of twelve
to fifteen thousand dollars at this time
than in building this road and dedicating
it to the free use of the public. I-et our
members work for this measure. They
will have plenty of help from the mem
bers east of the mountains.

The address of Mayor Ramsey to the

of a clear and well trained mind and a

The new mayor makes some very good
suggestions, and makes them plain. He
also showed himself to, bo jxjssessed of
good executive ability at the first meeting
of the council, and the proceedings of that
body will hereafter le deprived of the
usual tiresomeness of the sessions of such

it meant business. They have made
some KOd selections for jtoliccmcn, and
the city government is in good ami com

OUR SATURDAY NIGHT.
Editor Statesman: The old year of
18S6 has slid into the rat-hole of eter
nity, and now we have a bran New Year
born to eternity. The child has been
christened 1887, and it belongs to you,
all of you. I don't mean any reflection
by this. I am speaking figuratively. It
is nothing novel for the New Year to
come around on January first. It hap
pens that way every year, and it has
been ita practice for some time. It no
doubt was the same when our ancestors
were gibbering apes in the forests of Asia,
or sponges in the bottom of the deep,
deep sea. But this is New Year's day,
1S87, and it's our New Year. This is our
time and we should make the best of it.
Let us all make a preamble and adopt
some good resolutions for 1887. If we
don't observe the resolutions, we will at
least be in the Btyle, and some jieople
think there is a virtue in this. Here's
kindest wishes for a Happy New Year to
each and all, and many joyous returns of
the day.
A gentleman from the country was in
Salem a few days since, when the town
clock tegan to strike. He was curious,
and asked one of the busy "fly young
men" of the city what it meant. "Oh,"
answered the aforesaid F. Y. M., "that's
a chestnut bell. It's just a ringing down
one of Ed. Edes' back-numler jokes."
Mr. Edes is one of the good looking and
accommodating deputies of County
Clerk Chapman, and the fly young man
should be ashamed of himself.
A young man of Salem says he has
discovered erpetual motion. It's easy
as falling off of a log. He wonders that
the asylums are running over with men
who have ruined their minds thinking
upon such a simple problem. This
young man has found one thing that
never stops running, that never has to le
wound up, and that runs of its own mo
mentum without any assistance what
ever it's a bill. lie says he has sever
al living examples of this proposition, and
he is reminded of this fact just now, as it
is the first of the vear.

Salem needs more manufacturing in
dustries. She wants a woolen mill, a can
ning establishment, and other manufac
turing industries that will give employ
ment to lalior, furnish a home market for
the products of the soil, and stimulate
trade aiul enterprise generally. There is
no doubt that such institutions would
help to build up a great city and conse
quently increase the value of projierty.
They would help the farmer, the trades
man and the lalxirer, skilled and unskilled.
Salem wants not for herself alone, but
for a large section of country) a free
wagon road across the Cascades, through
the Minto pass, that will give the people
of that vast section east of this range of
mountains u free outlet to our markets.
The legislature should appropriate the
money to bulid this road, and dedicate it
to the free use of the public.
Salem wants a branch of the narrow
gauge railroad from a jtoint aliout seven
miles east, and she w ill no doubt get this
in the near future. If Salem gets all of
these things, which she can do if her citi
zens unite and pull together for them, not
relaxing their efforts until the ends
sought are accomplished, she will then
get a branclrof the Oregon Pacific rail
road , she wilf then have street railways
and all the modern paraphernalia of a
great city. They will come as a natural
sequence of events. They w ill come with
the growth of the city and the establish
ment of these industries.
The famous district No. 101, of K.of L.,
which ran the unsuccessful strikes on the
Gould lines, has dissolved. Many of the
men were reduced to joverty by Martin
Iron's ill-advised act. It will tie remem
bered that the strike was caused by the
discharge of an unfit employee on an
other road, which was in the hands of a
receiver.
The Christmas business comj-ls the
employment of 7'Xt extra men in the
