Political and Otherwise.
By Jack Sprat.
Perhaps for our silence vve ought to
apologize, hut like the American Con
gross, the less you hear of us the
ter you feel.
Politics in this section has taken a
rear seat, and the measles are all the
The Democratic party of late has
loft some of its most ardent
all because of its stupidity, treachery
and disgraceful conduct. The Demo
ratic partv is noW viewing tlle c | 08 ing
scenes of its existenc. The places that
know it now will soon know it no more
forever. And when the last vestige
of its remains are gone the people will
draw one long sigh of relief and icjoiee
forever-we hope.
The idea that a man can be rehg
iously light and politically wrong, ts a
view that it takes something like a
voluptious and conglomerated imagtna
(ion to obtain. If a person is wrong
politically, upon the subject of religion
be is a hypocrite, because a man can
not indulge in any practices that prom
itre evil results and at the same time
be true to the principles of religion. It
is an effort to be consistent and at the
same time inconsistent.
Honest Democrats have long since
ceased to defend the democratic part
of the present administration. A de¬
fense tends to a deeper conviction of
dark crimes committed against a pa¬
tient and long suffering people.
Old Grover says, by bis practices,
that the more a government owes, the
stronger its financial t landing is. The
more taxes they have to pay, the more
they are able to pay; or in other words
the greater their debts are, the more
prosperous they are. \ve would like
for this to be true, we see how we
could become, in a short space of time,
a Billionaire.
We saw a notice some time since
WilCltJ VI IU a-' ' 9,
the business of manufacturing holes
for porus plasters, We think that if
some firm would go inio the business
of manufacturing holes for democratic
office seeker, that they would tind it a
very profitable business after the cam
paign of ’96 is over and the rubbish is
removed from that disfigured and dc
moralized branch of political industry.
There is seldom a line of glory
ten upon earth’s face, but what a line
of sorrow and suffering runs parallel
with it; and they that read the lustrous
syllables of the one, and stoop not to
decipher the worn and tear stained in
setiption of the other, get the least
half of the lesson that eaith has to
give.
Politically speaking, it seems that
the American people will bear any¬
thing in the way of imposition, be '
irayal of trusts imposed, deception,
treachvrv, etc., but we verily believe
that the day of settlement between t
deceived people and those who di
eeived them is not far distant, and tha 1
the settlement will ne harsh and final,
We hope that it wjll be peaceably bu
hoeestly made. The people will son/
da y 8ee the evils that threaten ou
American institutions, and apply th
remedie8>
Of all the blessings enjoyed by hr j
man beings, there is none better < r
more desirable than a cheerful, hap[*’ !
home. It is therefore the first duty tie jf J j
every one to endeavor to promote
most amicable relations in the hon ,! !
circle.

«K. Editor: the
The events of the present e.a, in
gislative and busincs elements of this
jyuntiy, mntrv is is the result of serious reflet
ou aud contemplation among the ,
jhinking class of people. undergoing, They are
.ware that our country is
egislatively, one of the darkest periods
its history. Why? Because, at
he nation’s capitol, the most exalted
dace of all, we see, with the exception
of a few, a perfect nest of cuckoo
(statesmen—the Benedict Arnolds ot
modern times. They are they who are
betraying the trusts of their constitu
ents. The vices of these men are eat
ing cancers to the very soul of this na
tion. Through them, secret vampires
are sucking the life blood out the na
tion.
jj ow ] on g will it be before the vic
liajs of lhege d(; ii^ r8 will realize that
thege men are a nuisance, detrimental
to good government, and all, as one
man, rise up and strike them down
forever?
One of the greatest needs of a large
numbei of our people, is patriotic
convict j on Some men do not know
.
w i iat they know, while others do not
know w hat they believe. A small per
cent of the people is doing the think
ing for lhe ol j ier portion, while a large
number have nothing in view in par
ticular. No solid, fixed convictions ol
their own. They are swinging from
m an to man, from thought to thought,
f rom theory to theory, So if it be
prudent for men to arouse themselves

The following beautiful tribute to
the memory ot Bishop Ilaygood is from
the. Rome Tribune, which we think
of reproduction;
“The saddest thought of all is that
lie was cut down in the (lower of bis
usefulness. No man can estimate what
be might have attained bad the Master
spared the. shepherd to bis devoted
Hock for yet a little while longer. lie
was tilled to the brim of bis milute and
overflowing with laudable ambitions
and high resolves. IIis life was one
grand, glorious dream of aspiration
and splendid idealty. Ah, what a man
he was in the strength of his beautiful
character. Methodism well may mourn
the quenching of one of the brightest
lights along the shore while the cheru¬
bim of God and all.shining hosts ol
heaven give him a welcome home !
But the most glorious consolation to
those who are left behind is that he
lived up to every requirement of life
and its responsibilities. He shirked
not, nor hesitated when there was a
duty to be performed, and he never
denied one who called upon him in the
reality and earnestness of religion. lie
was always approachable and the
humblest had free access to his great,
.sympathetic heart. He is no more.
But the luster of bis example shall
never grow dim or the memory of his
good works perish from the memories
of men. IBs nature was blessed with
a wondrous share of tlie strengthening
and ennobling attributes of Him in
wh„n, bta every Ou.l .. ML Wlio.o

ra eek Elisha assumed the mantle of the
mighty Tishbite when the latter passe
from mortal ken in a blaze of unearthly
splendoralt|inpa88age of the Jordan.”
Concience is like a watch—apt to get
out of order if too roughly handled.
“Loving kindness, is greater than
laws; and the charities of life are more
