ISYAKS -CLAUi: It. IKVJNK Editor Manager. A COIIUUTT 11AI..I.OT. Ah tlio tumult of the recent polltl cnl contest rolls nway, bo Hint par ticular parts of tjio Held can .,bc scanned, it becomes more and more evident that ithc cash purchase of votes was an enorjuous factor iij the election. The press of the smaller cities ami towns, of both political parties, (cems with particular in stances of buying by wholesale and retail. The Watertown Times (re publican) judges that something over :!00 votes were bought in that city at an average price of ?20 each. ''lJoth parties," it says, "went into it apparently by mutual consent." So openly was the trnlllc carried on that boasts were- made by both buy ers and sellers, tho former of their success in getting wliat they paid for, tho latter of their smartness In gotting a month's wages for n day's work, or rather for a day's idleness. Tho Watertown Times very justly observes that for every vote bought tills year two must bo bought next time, and that tlio price will rise in proportion to tlio importune.) of the election, ai)d that unless a stop is put to tho practice, the llcpubllo will cease to exist. What is hnpoitant in such a crisis is not to tlx responsibility upon one party or the other, but to take steps to buvo the fiibiio of government ftoin swift destruction. We are in deed, at (ho turning of tho ways. If wo go as wo are going, the insti tutions that wo piie so highly will, in a few years, be submerged in cor ruption. The contagion of vote buying and vote-soiling will spread and Increase until elections will cease to havo any political signifi cance; the national policy will be at tho disposal of the largest purse. No condition moro hideous can bo imagined. Popular respect for pop ular institutions will dwindle away and gradually eetiM) to exist: young men and women will glow up to re gaid government as the prize of bri bery; the moral tie that binds socie ty together will be unloosed. Tlio voto should bo held to bo 8AUltr.li. it is tho distinguishing budge of a five man. Tho responsibility is mi great, that it does not cease with tho dropping of the ballot into tlio box. It goes beyond that. War may result, thousands of lives may bo sacillUvd, millions of treasure destroyed, towns and villages may bo desolated and tho country be come bankrupt through the easting of votes by men who accept bribes. Even there the ell'eet of thu pur chased ballot docs not cud, for when the briber and bribed lay rotting In their graves; thejr children and children's children miller from the Infamous act of a (lodforakuii and dishonorable wretch, with, Jiving In a free country, bartered his freedom for n mesa of pottage. If wo could havo our way, tlio briber and bribed should ho. branded In such a man ner that everyone should hoo tho "mark of Cain" upon thorn ami re fuse to trust them, liellovo in their word, or have dealings In any shajH) with mon w thoroughly lost to honor. lloncht intiplo who wish to sit) a government Used on tho will of thinking people, ought to bo protoe. tod from thtfco crvaturos, who tut) greater dangers to the community than all the Yellow Fovor, Cholera, nml Kmalljwx victims could over Then uiiut U h moral iiuaran tltic itubhhit if our country Is to fultll the aspiration of Washington and Jetl'i rwn and the inrly pioneers f gumiin l!i ul'lhauwm TIIK TIME. Now is the time to strike. Salem has, nn opportunity to bq something. Will she,, do, it? A shorf. time, ntjo a railroad company proposed tp, the the, people, of. Spokane Falls, thnt.if they would raise the company ono J hundred and fifty thousand dollars that said. company would run the road to the Falls. In three dnys the money was raised and iusldo of threq months property doubled in valuation. The prosperity of no in land town ever has exceeded It and it still g'ows and becomes more prosperous every day. Albany se cured the O. P. Road by n subsidy and will secure the woolen mill un less Salem takes hold promptly and nets. The opportunity lost can never be regained. If our business men men who have nn interest in the town will lend till properly the amount can be raised in a few dnys. Will they do It? jSow Is tlio time to act. A story is told of a poor man who lost his horse all he had to earn bread for himself and family. His neighbors gath ered around to console and feel sorry for him. . At last a practical man among them took of his hat and said: "I. feel sorry for our neighbor, very sorry and I have no doubt you all feel as sorry as I do." Then thruwing live dollars in tho hat says: I feel sorry five dollars worth. How much sorry do you feel?' And passed tho hat to each of tho lookers on. He soon gathered enough to buy a new horse and sent tlio poor man on his way rejoicing. Every man in the city should feel public spirit enough to subscribe hs proportion for tlio woolen mill and leave margin enough to cover up tho deficit of those who are too little to help hi this good cause. COKNKK GHOmniY MUST GO. The St. Louis Republican, one of the leading journals of the West has become very emphatic on the liquor question. It claims that the saloon element controls the city politics, and says the corner grocery with its saloon attached must go. For, continues its leading editorial, every corner grocery, as will readily bo seen, has a good many mon on its books, and how many of these will let his vote staud between him and his living? Not many, it is safe to say; and so tho aggregate of votes Inllucnced by these places must roach an astonishing figure. There nro, in round numbers, 800 corner groceries with saloon attachment in St. Louis. Lot us suppose that eacli of these iutluences n do.cu votes though that number Is probably far too small and wo havo a grand to tal of nearly 10,000 votes absolutely oontiolled by these doggeries. That is a sulllcient number to elect or de feat any man who might bo nom inated for aiiyollleo in tlio city, ac cording to tho soverlgn will of tho beer bosses, nnd against tho most strenuous efforts of the respectable element. It looks somewhat dis couraging, it must bo confessed, on tho faco oflt, to tnko up tho cudgels against such n Titanic evil. Rut thcio Is one weapon It cannot with stand tho Law. Tho law Is still supreme and it will prevail. Tho comer grocery, with saloon attach ment, must go. By tho Australian plan of voting tho tiekctB, which nro printed by the state nnd furnished to tho voters, have on them tho names of all tho candidates. A man who is entitled to voto Is given one of these, and In a compartment where no ono can see him be erases tho names of those to whom ho is opposed. If he can not read ho makes atlldavltto that clU'Ct, and then two sworn scruti neers take him to another private room, read over to him tho names, and then hu scratches oil" whichever ho pleases. Tho men swear that thoy will keep secret what ho has done, No fault has been found with the workings of tho system thus far except by those who wero iu tho habit of buying voters aud who liked to know that thoy got tho goods they purchased. Somk people are u little anxious about fuel for tho future, and a vast number of people iu Kansas, Ne braska ami Dakota almost perish for want of coal or rather for want of souse. They nro people who if Itvlug on an Island with fresh wat er all around would perish for want of tea to drink. Millions of tons of grow, weeds and tmsh lay around the Kansas and Dakota sutllron, yet they freoao to death.

A witiTKK who has been in Japan for five years says: "The first month I was in Yokohama I was invited to a stnto bail. There were about 1,000 ladies present and of this number only three were in foreign dress, I was at another of those balls this year, nnd there were only three ladies in Japanese cos tunic. The Japanese women look a good deal prettier in their native dres. They are too small to look well in American costume." An unmarried man recently drew a crisp new live dollar bill out of the bank. A happy thought .struck him, and he wrote an ardent love in ii. r. !i l.. m... !..i. letter across the face of it in blue hit and signed his initials and address. Then he spent the five. By Thurs day Inst he had received fourteen answers, many of tliqra enclosing photographs. He will marry one of them (not the photographs, but the original of one of theni) early in January.

With the 400 ncrcs already owned by the state, this will give a total of 1200 ncres in one body, which will be ample for the state prison, insane asylum, school for deaf mutes and other institu tions. It is understood that the prico pnid,xwas $90 per acre". It is possible that this tract has been bonded, subject to purchase when the legislature meets. Dame rumor snys bucIi is the case, but fncts nro not get-at-able. It is true the state hns uso for tho land and tho pur chase would bo ono of wisdom. You will always find No. 1 gro ceries at L. S.
