The Alpine tourist who finds himself suddenly clinpimr with feet and fin per jo a aueu of slippery rocic overnangmi? a - . u . T lizxy precipice, understands in a very attral tense the full meaning of the words, "There is but a step between me tad death." His peril is so tragic in all as drv, tmstances, so wild in its mountain Jetting, that the heart almost stands still at the thought of it. ' Bnt as a matter of fact every man waits the world with his life in bts sands, and the path of safety is narrow fer his feet An example of the constant peril in rfcich we lire in found in the alarming . , ftrmber of deaths from consumption, rhe couutry is thoroughly aroused to the seed of doing something to stop the -avages of the deadly germ of this dis- se. Several states have made liberal appropriations foi sanitariums in favor- ible climates. The medical skill of the world is enlisted to fight consumption, Vet in spite of all that is done, the dts- ease seems to gain ground instead of oalcg it. TTtK FORCK OH HABIT Is strong with us. We are so accustomed to the world wide prevalence of con sumption that we accept It practically as a necessary evil. If some strange dis ease were to break out, and destroy hnman life to the same extent as does consumption, such a dteae would be looked upon as an appalling plague. guaranline would be established against , and days of fasting ami praver ap pointed by the churches for the mitiga tion of the disease. But we accept con sumption as inevitable because of its familiarity How true this is may be judged from a recent report of Sanitary Officer Gorgas, of Havana, Cuba. It has been cabled to the United States that yellow fever was epidemic in Havana. Dr. Gorgas an swered that there is no epidemic He says: "In the pat month there were 72 deaths from consumption and 5 from yellow fever. Yellow fever therefore should not be considered epidemic more than consumptMH " What Ughi that throw on our aocept anee of consumption ! A scare cry is raised that vrllow fever is epidemic be cause of 52 deaths in one month. Hot a word was said as to consumption which ia the same month claimed 73 vktinslor over 35 it more than died of yellow fever. The irreat ouestloa is Why ia con- OIL FAMINE IN 8ALEM.

RI was troubled with a bad cold, which settled on my lungs and left me with a Miserable conga," writes Mr. Joseph D. Burns, of 31 S Huestis St., Ithaca, N. Y. "I used two bottles of your 'Golden Med ical Discovery,' alter which my cough disappeared en tirely. I cannot recommend your medicine too highly." But " Golden Medical Discover'" is not a mere cough medicine. The cures of deep-seated coughs, bron chitis, etc. are but slight Sy teats of the merit of this Ss medicine. In many cases rbages, night-sweats, ema ciation, and every symptom of disease which usually terminates fatally in con sumntlon. " Golden Med ical Discovery " has effected a lasting cure. "I take great pleasure in sending you this testimo nial," writes Mr. Will H. Wbitmlre, of Arkton, Rock ingham Co., Va., "and to tender you my heartfelt thanks for the restoration to health of my son, A. P. Whitmire, through the use of 'Golden Medical Discov ery ' and ' Pleasant Pellets.' "Our son contracted a deep cold, and had a ter rible cpugh. We called a doctor and he pronounced it irritation of the bron chial tubes, with asthmatic trouble, and he informed me that my son was liable to die at any time. He told me that if we could keep tbe broa- chtal tubes open, he tnigkl cure him; but after treating him several weeks and my son growing worse all 'he time, I concluded to try Dr. PierccV. Golden Medical Discovery and 'Pleasant Pellets.' I had seen several miraculous cures brought about by the use of these medi- cines, and, of course, I bad wonderful faith in them. I am so happy to tell ou that I have not been disappointed. and that my boy is well. He used three bottles of 'Golden Medical Discovery' at home and one vial of the ' Pellets,' and was then well enough to go to West Virginia, taking a supply with him. I am just in receipt of a letter from him from which I quete: 'I am well and "The neighbors all knew the condition ot my boy ana tney au soiu ne naa con sumption and would not live a month. and the doctor told some persons after I commenced the use of your medicine that my boy had quick consumption and would have to die."

The hayseed council, for good and sufficient rcacons, refused to enter Into such contract" It la not expected that managers of a poHtical campaign will carefully weigh the meaning of all they say. and the CUIson's campaign commit ter would not Intentionally ralsrepre snt the humblest citiaon of the seventh ward. ..Lie No. 1. The Journal nor its editor or owners ever advocated the cancellation of the old lighting con tract. We consider it the best con tract ever entered Into by any city in the northwest. Lie No. 2. "The Journal nor Its editor or owners ever advocated a new contract for a long term of years. The Citizen's council voluntarily1 and unanimously agreed to extend the old lighting contract for five years after a full and complete understanding with M. Henry. Then to the surprise of everybody they chanced their minds. The fail ure of the council to kcon its agree ment with Mr. Henry embarrassed thct gtkraan not a little. He hr-d on the strength of tha extension of his city Heating contract incurred ,lage financial liabilities. In fact he was mlng the record made by the hayseed council to raise money to put In Improvements and extensions of fthe SnJom street car lines.

They were not satisfied with securing for the elty an advantageous contract for public lighting. They- thought they could pose as reformers and at the same time steal a march on the owners of competing real estate and business houaes oh Liberty and State streets. The Journal believes that Mr. Hen ry deserves commendation for the good he has done, and criticism when he Is wrong. But the people cannot see that the hayseed council had "good and sufficient reason" for act lag as they did, after making their own record la tbe matter. They buncoed Mr. Henry Into be lieving he bad a contract secured on which he could make representa tions to get capital for the Improve ment and extension of the Salem street car Uses. The hayseeds scld him a gold brick and have done the city a great Injury In breaking faith with a man who has met all th-ir reasonable demands and has asked no favors at their hands, and who asks no contract or present, or who will eve? ask them for any contract In the future for any term of years. Ho hnd such faith in their fairness tbat he named his plant the Cltisen's Light and Traction Company, a name that had become a synonym for square dealing and good business methods. This community cannot afford to have the reputation of cinching rsy man who Invests capital here. The city of Olympia tried that on the half-million dollar malting plant built up thore by Mr. Schmidt and for unjust actions by the city coun cil ho was compelled to pull his busi ness out of there. A street car lino cannot be taken away, and the lighting plant at Sa lem Is necessary to the state. But what would the city be without It? Progressive ownership means a great deal Right treatment of the owner means that the present lines will be converted Into belt lines. It moans better cars, bettor tracks, construe- tlon of ouburban parks and employ j ment of a great ronny men at good , t wages The city government of Salem can well afford to deal fairly with Mr. Honry and In return ask Mr. Henry to deal fairly with the citizens. Dut we cannot get fair treatmont unloss we give It, and this is all said with- out reference to the pending city election. It must be said in justice to Mr. Boise that he did not participate In this secret scheme, as he Is the firm friend of the Citizens' Light & Trac-1 tlon Company He opposed the Issu- ance of n franchise to. Mr. Hurts, and has In many ways shown his loyalty ' to the present company. I Climatic Cures. The Influenee of climatic conditions in the cure of consumption Is very much overdrawn The poor patient, aad the rich patient, too. can do much better at home by proper attention to food digestion, aad & regular course of German Syrup. Free expectoration In the morning is made certain by German Syrup, so is a good night's rest and the absence of that weak ening cough and debilitating night sweat Restless nights and tbe ex haustion due to coughing, the great eat danger and dread of the consump tive, can be prevented or stopped by taking German Syrup liberally and regularly. Should you be able to go to a warmer clime you will find that of the thousands of consumptives there, the few who are benefitted aad regain strength ars those who use (Hnaaa Syrup.
