METHODS OF THE KNOCKER.
The Salem nowspnpors aro bosloged
with anonymous correspondents who
opposo nnd bolitllo tho proposed bltu
QiUiic stroot pavcinout.
Thcso articles omannto from an in
terested sourco that should bo mado
lenr to tho public nnd it would linvo
310 influence.
On an Important public matter, whoro
-a newspaper has to take a stand, it is
unfair for tho anonymous knocker to
EiMo himself.
Probably this same man who does
Mho anonymous knocking is telling tho
-committeo of his follow citlzons that
'Ao wants paving,
Hut read the anonymous howl of tlio
poronnltil and everlasting knecker:
Against Bltulithic.
I ipioto tho following from tho Ore

"Tim report states that though tho

MR. OESNER'B REPORT.
After bolng chairman of tho street
committeo a year, and strewing tho
streets with some of tho poorest un
screened river grayel ever put on the
business streets, Alderman Oesner flics
a report on paving.
Tho Journal refused to print Mr.
Oesner 'b report because tho rest of tho
utrcot committeo would not join In it,
and bocauso it bolievcs tho report was
ruitiij ujijiubuu iif uiij miviii
It rends as if Mr. Oesner had been
listening to a class who have the most
vnluublo and tho most profltablo prop
erty on our business streets and who
opposo all improvement that is to cost
them anything.
Thcso influential citizens have been
ablo to havo thoir streets kopt in or
der by their, pull on tho general fund
in placo of paving ns owning abutters
should pay for tho strcot in front of
thoir proporty.
When really enterprising citizens nro
about to order bltulithic pavement this
Class gets bohlnd a report that causes
discussion and dissension under which
they will dofor pavement of any sort.
Tho Oesner report h sprung to pre
vont nny sort of pormnnont street im
provement. It does not tell tho public
where vitrified brick enn bo had. It is
not certain that thoy can be made at all
at Salem.
Tho Oesnor report says in substanco
that our streets aro all right, and it
almost takes pleasure in saying they nro
hotter than in othor cities.
lias not tho time come for all citi
zens to take a forward step and say
with perfect enndor that there should
bo n few paved streets in this cty, oven
if it does take n fow thousand dollars
from those best ablo to pave?
Those who can read botween tho lines
must soo that tho do-nothing policy, tho
policy that says wo nro all right as wo
are, improvement is unnecessary, sticks
out all over tho Oosuor roport.
Lot us nil get out of that rut and
make Salem a live town, whoro tho finest
streets, tho richest streets, tho most
profltnblo proporty, shall boar its just
share of pormnnont improvement, as
abutting owners should.
If proporty owners started in to got
vitrified brick, non-pavers would prob
ably show that vltlrlfled brink of good
quality could not bo had at Salem, and
if it could bo' had It would cost a great
dead more than bltulithic.
If the host business proporty in tho
second ulty in tho state cannot stand
tho oxponso of a pavement, tho ownors
had better sell It to somo ouo who will
pavo tho street as is done chcrfully in
smaller placet.
Tjf tho owners of tv singlo block will
submit a potltinn to tho council, asking
an order to put down a brick pavement,
that order will bo granted. Mr. Oes
ner ' sincerity can bo best shown in
that way, although wo admit his sin
cerity in advocating brick ua a good
kind of paving. v
WHO ARE THE PUBLIO LANDS FOR

Tho poor young man who may bo hon

AMERICAN HUSTLE. .
It is said there is nothing distinctive
about tho American faces, as thcro is
about nil tho rest of tho group of Cau
casian faces. It has no individuality.
It is without particular features such
an mark tho Irish faco, tho French
faco, tho Oorman face, tho Jew faco.
tho English faco. It is pecular only
in its cosmopolitanism. It is in ono
sonso a coposito paco, from which are
oblitornted all tho provincial narrow
ness and weakness that mako tho other
faces, distinctive, and in it is combined
tho strength of thorn all.
Novorthloss tho American pbysiojr-
nomy is docidedly marked. It is said
that un American is recognized at a
glanco in any part of tho world.
Tho thing indollbly written on the
A IMAHirtnM & n . 1 (I -ft
'.iiivjivuM xuizv i nustio." .fcivcry
Americun looks as if his oyes were
glaring into tho far west and tho far
future. Ho has a sorious lobw that
portends business. French imagination
spnrkles in wit as brilliant as tho dia
mond; tho American imagination finsh-
cs Its sheot lightning oi-or half a world.
This terriblointonsity of purpose nnd
nctivity is very fl.no in many respects,
but it is at tho bottom of tho ill health
which ia so serious n curse to tho life
of this country. Tho American.. works
himself to death.
We think and wo oxhnust; wo s'chemo
imagine, study, worry and onjoy, nnd
proportionately we wasts. Overworked
brains nnd stomachs, underworked
musclos and limbs soon1 dorango tho
balance of supply nnd dcmnnl. Wo
waste faster than enfeebled digestion
enn repair. Wo fcol always a littlo tie-
pressed;, wo restore tho equilibrium tem
porarily by stimulation.
What is most wanting to arduous en
terprise in tho present. day is tlnp. Wo
can scarcely commnnd a fow hours un
disturbed or offcctunl inactivity, Wo
livo in th'o midst of tompests or dead
calms, condemned alternately to ship
wreck or inaction. More rapid and
eontjolling than ourselves, events car
ry away our idoas and intentions be
fore they havo passod into facts and
often before thoy havo oven riponod
into attempts.
In no section of tho world is insani
ty more prevalent thnn In this.
This strutting ou"ect must undoubted
ly be tracod to tho general restlessness
and excitement that pervades tho coun
try nnd tho general indefforonco to tho
common, mid ossoutlnl physiological
laws.
Wo havo too littlo rocrentiou, too lit
tlo regard for tho refreshing ami invig
orating influences of social intercourse.
Our devotion to business of ovcry kind
is too long continued nnd too absorbing.
We rlso early and sit up lato nnd ent
tho broad of carefulness, nnd eat It
hastily, that wo may loso no time from
work.
Constant caro and anxious thought
wrlto deep trncos on tho brow and
their corroding Influences consume not
only tho elasticity of mind and body,
but tho bettor feelings of tho heart.

THREE MAGAZINES.
Tho Atlantic for January contains
Mnry Austin's story, "Isldro," the
best pieco of fiction since Miss John

wrttteu. Thoreau's Journal is a now
feature of tho Atlantic liternturo. Tho
general program for tho mouth is of tho
high otnudard typical of this magazine.
Outing for January lias a lino win
ter program. From Mark Twain's
"Country" to tho "Swamps of Ma
lay" there is groat variety. Tho edi

information.

MANY CONVENTIONS AT FAIR.
Meotiug of National Associations and
Excursion Will Bring Thousands.
Portland, Jan. 5. Attracted by tho
prospect of a transcontinental trip, by
tho fumo of Portland as ono of tho
most beautiful cities in the Unitod
States, nnd by tho stories of great
things to bo seen at the Lewis and
Clark Exposition, many associations of
land-wido membership nro planning to
hold conventions nt Portland next sum
mor during tho centennial. Most of
the conventions will bo hold in Festival
hall at tho exposition, where tho largo
auditorium, built for such purposes,
will bo found an attractlvo meeting
place. Othor associations which ar
ranged to hold thoir annual meetings nt
other cities havo planned to nttend tho
fair in a body. Tho total numbor of
gathorlugs so far scheduled is nbout
thirty, and theso will bring an aggre
gate of somo 30,000 pooplo to tho fair.
Bo3idos theso, many other national or
ganizations, us well ns a number of
Western nssoclutious, will probably
plan for conventions to bo hold at tho
Western world's fair.
Probably tho most important, from a
scioutlflu standpoint at last, will bo tho
oouveutlon of tho American Modlonl as
sociation, which will bo held July 14,
nnd bring together 2500 doctors, many
of national or world-wide fame. Tho
Associated fraternities of Amorioa
will meet 2000 stroug, tho National
Good Heads association will bring to
gether us many members, and tho Na
tional Association of Letter Carriers
will prolmbJx bring 3000 to the exposi
