SIKU LD CHANGE THE SCHKM I.E. TUB railroads enterliiR Salem are naturally very largely Interested In all matters that pertain to the growth and development of the city, for, as tho city grows, so nlso does their patronage therefrom. It Is for this reason that The Capital Journal ventures to make a suggestion or two, even at the risk of hutting Into a busi ness that It cheerfully admits It knowB nothing about that Is the man agement and operating of railroads, However, It can see the results of conditions, for even a newspaper edi tor cannot well fall to seo between the rounds of a ladder, if it la hold brondsldo on to him. It ventures, therefore, to point out to the Salem, Falls City & Western, that Its present passenger service Is neither for the best Interests of tho city nor for Itself. At present the only train coining Into the city on this road, that makes It posslblo for thoso living along the railroad from Portland to Corvnllls to como here, reaches here at 2:30. The junction of the two roads Is at Perry, nnd there, under tho present sched ule, passengers from anywhere along the Corvallis lino, must wait for near ly two hours for the train to Salem. There Is no depot at the Junction, only a littlo waiting shed, enough to keep the rnln off, no stove. In fact not much of anything but discomfort, but plenty of that, so much, Indeed, that no one will mnko tho trip unless ab solutely compelled to do so. The ar rangements, however, are consistent, and no partiality 1b shown, for those going from Salem to points on tho Corvallis road must wait Just as long, and enjoy, if they can, the same com forts. The Incoming train arrives, as we have said, about 12:30 p. m. and the only train on which return can be made IcavcB Salem at 1:20 p. m., giv ing visitors BO minutes from the time they reach West Salem until they must leave, again, or barely time to cross over Into Salem and get back. If they have any business to transact here they must remain over night, which Is not always convenient It Is suggested, therefore, that the officials of tho Kails City road change Ms time table, so that close collec tions 'with the Corvallis road can be made at Horry, but!1 in the morning coming to Salem and in the afternoon solng from It. This would be a g.-ci't accommodation to those on the Cer vallis I file having business here, and It tvould bo highly beneficial to Ja'.am In putting a 1 1'-: and rich territory In i!iibo (null lelatlons with her.

I The gold production of the year is $1,000,000 greater than last year, but the editorial writers und reporters on the newspapers have not especially noticed it. THE SALOON Ml'DDI.E. IT Is self-evident that tho saloon men, or some of them, have not been given a square deal, Tho city of Salem is wet, the saloons in question have ull been In business for some time, none of them being new applicants for licenses, they have paid their money Into the city treas1 ury, as required by law, and each and every one of them has acted In good faith, believing, as they had a right to believe from the past, that they had CONTEMPT OK ( OlllT. THE supreme court of Idaho has set the pace in the trial for contempt of a couple of editors for criti cising Its opinions. It says It is be yond and above criticism, the "holy of holies," and is both a law and a gospel to itself. It was complainant in the case, it was prosecuting attor ney In trying the case, it dug up the evidence, and sat as trial judge in the case In which it was the plaintiff, It found the defendnnt guilty of having contempt for It, and fixed his punish ment. No doubt tile editors are guil ty of contempt now, if they were not in venturing to criticise the uetion of the Immaculate ones, but they are not alone. Kvery Intelligent man In the United States, is heart and soul with the editors, and if tho Idaho supreme court could send to Jail all who not only have, but who express, their un bounded contempt for the Idaho su premo court judges, they would find the jails and prisons of the whole world Inadequate to hold them They are not judges, they are tyrants. The Eugene Guard set the pace for i all the Oregon country newspapers in , its big issuo for New Years, which contained 88 pagcB. Not only did it set the pace In quantity, but the quality is such that Its contemporar ies will have to get up early and sit up lato to Improve upon, or, for that matter, even equqal it.

It Is probable that the Btomach has been abused. Many re sort to predlgestcd foods and various kinds of medicines to get relief from dyspepsia, Indigestion and heartburn, but without permanent benefit If your stomach was In perfect condition, you would not need medi cine to digest tho foods you eat. Jnyne's Tonlo Vermifuge Ib a stomach I regulator, It gets the Btomnch In such a condition that It will digest food without other assistance. It overcomes the acidity and stimulates the coating of the Btomach and In testines so that they will properly absorb and assimilate the nutriment from the food eaten. Sufferers from dyspepsia and Indigestion will find permnnent relief in a short time af ter beginning tho use of the tonic. For children the addition of a little sugar will make It most palatable. Many forms of supposed Indiges tion are the result of Intestinal par asltes, for which Jayne's Tonic Ver mifuge is unsurpassed. Insist upon Jnyne's; accept no other.
