Commercial Street. The Best for the Money all the Time, IMFIMI I IIIIIHICTOTaWriHlH m MUSIC THE SALEM WAY. Salem is on the upward swing. That is the Salein way. The city couucil ha9 ordered the liaviug ,of the principnl streets iu the most approved modern city style, and public and private ex penditures for this purpose will ag gregate $100,000 for 1891. President Harrison will visit Salem. Salem will build two new school houses this year and several churches. Ground is broken this morning by a largo force of men to double the mileage of one electric motor line, and the horse-car lino is being capitalized by a Chicago syndicate and will be motorized before fall. The boys are in it. Salem is iu it. Before the next legislature sits Sa lem will round up to 20,000 people and will be in shape to Incorporate all its suburbs into one lino city about two miles wido and three miles north and south. Salem capital has confidence in Salem. Salem should unlto with the other valley cities to force Portland to raise her boycott nguinst the valley, nuil instead of booming the Sound cities, boom this valley whieli is bound to be developed without a boom, but better with a moderate one. If Portland contluues to direct people away from tills valley, the valley should boycott Portland. Portland is boycotted politically al ready, but the boycott will be ox tended unless this valley and its cities receive fairer treatment than they have had. Everybody in Portland has got to quit working for the Sound and against this region. Let the war be carried into Africa in the fine Salem way and Salem will get her rights. Before Portland loses her grip en tiro on this valley her prominent business men should reform and see where their truo interest lies. The Salem way is good enough for anybody even Portland. Pi-omlucnt In politics will defray the great expense of ovations along the line, these persons and their ladies uud friends will probably bo tho only ones who will como in direct contact with tho chief magistrate. That tho children should hnvo a chance to get near him will gratify them and their parents. Tho mem ory of having seori a president will linger long In their lives. There Is honor iu'bciug a child at school. There will probably not be tlmo for the children to get a chance to see much of the President at Salem. But wherever thoy can they should bo gratified. It will be an educating force Impressing thei with tho fact that this is a people's govern ment, whero all arccquals politically, and tho humblest may rise to 'the highest round of tho ladder. GENERAL NEWS NOTES. its TH GROCERS 1 B Man SATAN'S TUUMI1 IN OltKOON POLI TICS. The MarJou county grangers have entered a protest against tho presi dent Ailing the federal bench from tho ranks of the corporation attor neys, who meddle iu politics and use tho political machinery of the state to advance tho personal inter ests of the stock-watering mana gers. Few people know to what extent the federal patronago was used dur ing the session of the late legislature to corrupt repieseutatives and sena tors, and defeat people's measures. All good legislation that was secured had to bo obtained against tho lev erage of this immense power, wield ed by a few unscrupulous politicians, whose only motto Is that of all plu plu eocrats: "The people bo damned." It would require a vast stretch of tho imagination to portray what the effect of this enormous power for evil would be, if it was used to ad vance tho interests of tho people, instead of being used to brlbo their representatives against them. It is one of the great reiorms that is favored by nil intelligent citizens who believe in a government of tho people and who desire to havo tho expressed will of the peoplo respected. I'AYTJUK DKIIT Many millions of bonds aro about to becomo duo and tho bond- holding interests are planning and contriving how thoy may keep the government from taiuug tuem up and stopping tho burden of interest. Tho right thing to do Is to take them up and pay them off and stop Interest. Of bonds to becomo duo there arc $25,000,000 of 4J per cents, neurly half of which aro held by national banks to at euro circulation. It is Secretary Foster's idea to fol low tho plan adoptod by Secretary Wludom In 18S1, wheu tho G aud 5 per cent, bonds matured. These bonds were not redeemed whon thoy matured, but Secretary Wlndora mado a contract with tho holders to pay 3J and 3 per cent, interest at the pleasure of the government. Secre tary Foster thinks that a similar agreement with holders of the 4 per cent, bonds can bo made, and tiie interest put at 2 per cent. For tho bondholders to como down from 3 aud 3 per cent Interest to 2 per cent is a commendable decline. There must be money mado by hold ing tho bonds nt any price. Where is it? Iu banking on them, Is not this coming down to the danger lino? Is It not a confession of tho Justice of tho farmers' alii anco proposition to loan money on real estate at 2 per cent? But the fact remains: tho bonds should bo taken up. They should not be left iu the hands of holders at anyrato Jof interest, whon there is money to redeem them. The banks would no doubt bo willing to retain them aud receive no interest. ! This discloses tho real Interest thoy have in government bonds. BUGGK3TED COMMENT.

Senator Allison at Dubuque, Io wa, refused to arise when tho Con gregational minister asked thoso of Ills hearers who disapproved of tho World's fulr being thrown open on Sunday to stand up. He was about tho only man who did not arise. His conduct has called out somo criticism. It is questionable whether tho minister had any right to poll his congregation on that question. It is not one of the prerogatives of tho clergy to raise embarrassing ques tions that aro not essentials of Chris tianity. If ministers would get on broader ground and. cease to inter fere with the rights of American citizens to havo opinions of their own on matters of a secular charac ter, aud the still more sacred right of private opinion on any subject, tbey would find themselves on a surer foundation for influence for good. Tho World's Fulr should be good enough In its moral character to not wave to bo shut up ono day out of tho seven. Ills for the whole chrlstaln world and should measure up to Its broadest thought.

Isn't it a trlllo rough to blame the Republi cans and protectlonUts for the ex istence of the sugar trust, in view of the fact that the McKIuley bill ltaa removed tho duty from sugar and placed it on t bo free list?

A frightful wreck occurred on tho Lake Shore railroad at Klpton sta tlou, about forty miles west, Satur day evening, In which six postal clerks and twoonlglnccrs were killed. Fast mail No. 14, bound east, collid ed with No. 21, tho Toledo express, just as tho latter train was about to pull on a siding to lot the fast mall pass. The fast mall was run ning at full speed, and the force of tho collision was so great that both engines, threo mall cars and ono baggage car wero completely wrecked. The following is the list of tho dead: Engineers, Edward Brown and Charles Topllile, Postal olerks, F. J. Nngout, Charles Hammlll, F. F. Clemens, John J. Bowerflne, James MoKlnley and C. H, McDowell. lujured Fireman Stoley and John Danzig, a son of a section foreman. Nono of tho passenger coaches loft tho track and none of the paasougors received auy serious Injuries. It was tho custom for these two trains to pass at Klpton, tho Toledo express taking a sldo traclc for tho fast mall, which -usually wont through without slackening. Tho express Was a few minutes late that evening, and had just como' to a stop at tho switch whon tho fast mail camo In sight. Tho engineer on tho fust mail applied the brakes when ho saw a collision inevitable but tho speed of the train was not chocked materially. Tho onglno of tho Toledo express was knocked squarely aoross tho track, and that of tho fast mall reared In tho air, resting on tho top of tho other. Tho first nnd second mall cars woro telescoped and smashed to kindling wood, and tho third crashed into tho first two and rolled over on the station platform. Two baggago cars of the Toledo express wero knocked from the track, but did not turn ovor. The passongors whero thrown to the tloors and badly shaken, but noo seriously Injured. The passengers at onco began tho work of rescue, and with a corps of phyBlolR$s from thn town, administered -to tho few who woro injured, AU but one of tho dead wero beyond human assistance as soon as the collision occurred. Tho bodies woro all horribly orushod and muti lated, tho arms and legs being torn off and tho corpses mangled almost boyond recognition. Tho poor postal clerks woro caged Ilka rats, and tho telescope of tho cars crushed tho life out of them with out a moments warning.

TUB CON8ULA11 SEALS. , WABiriNaiON, April 20.Secretary Foster has decided to suspend tho consular Beal system on curs, and adopt tho system of locked cars and manifests, which It Is bolleyed will bo bettor all around, The change is tho result of an Inves tigation instituted by Secretary Wlndom, which showed that tba government was losing money and tho merchants losing goods under tho seal system. Nearly tho whole tlmo of U. B. consuls at some points lu Canada is taken up seal ing curs for the transportation of goods In trauslt to tho United Statcsj moreover, trafllo has grown to such proportions that It is be yond tho ublllty of tho department; to make suro iu all cases that goods uro not dropped at poluts wlthlu tho United States, Under tho now syatom, cars in transit will bo stopped at tho uearost port on tho border, aud examined by treas ury officers, who will place upou tho cars treasury locks.
