THE Mitchell County Ne,cs does
not, or pretends that it does not,
"know what the BULLETIN means by
suggesting that it is not Republican"
1t is quite possible that the Ne,cs
may claim to be Republican in prin-
ciple, but our former allusion to it
went only so far as to assume that it
did not belong to the Republican
party, and for this, we thought we
had ample warrant in the practical
hostility the Ne,cs evinces for every
thing the Republican party does or
attempts to do, as wei. as in its osten-
tatious Endorsement of the boast of
its neighbor, the Press, that the latter
is "the only Republican paper now
published in Mitchell county," This
announcement is reproduced from
week to week in the Ne,cs in con-
spicuous type, without comment or
contradiction. We honestly judged
from the tone of the Ne,cs, which
for some time past has been almost
identical with the organs of the
Democratic party upon all the ques-
tons which has agilated the country,
that it had already joined or was pre-
pairing to Join the opposition. Its
suggestion that the Republican party
take colored man for its candidate
for the Vice-Presidency, had very
much the flavor Of an ironical gibe
or sneer, and we thought it appro-
pirate to suggest to the Nescs that it
would find plenty of opportunity for
advice of that nature in the party
within which, as it appeared to us, it
intended to act. But the Neacs in
forms us, or rather, without positive
assertion, leaves US to infer that we
were mistaken, and that it has not
yet cut loose from the Republican
party. We are gratitied with this
information, and hope that it may
find III the organization and
administration of the old party
in the future some cause for
other allusion than querulous, carp
ing, uncandid criticism and unjust
aspersioD, after the manner of Demo-
cratic papers. We would not have
it relinquish its right to criticise and
denounce whatever is wrong in Or
out of the Republican party, but if it
would not be Inexperienced it
should realize that indiscriminate
f,ult-fnding without compensating
support and defense Of what is right
and proper, is not the test Of friend
ship for any party or man.
Regarding the suggestion of the
Ne,cs, that its editor was soldier,
and that we are trying, in his person,
to deprive the soldiers Of the privi-
lege Of saying show the heritage,
saved by the soldiers, shall be man
aged, and who shall share the spoils," "
it sayors too strongly Of the LENA
gogue to need comment at our hands.
We are surprised that our friend
CLYDE should have used it.

Ohio Republican journals have
been considerably exercised foi
some time back over the selection
of a candidate for Governor at the
fall election. They have not met
with much success, however, in
their efforts at anticipating the
work of the Convention. Nearly
every prominent Republican poll
tician has been named, yet I'll ere
is none of them without some weak
ness, or whose nomination will not
be received with marked dissatis-
faction by portion of the party.
The name of Judge Taft, Of Cincin-
att, has probably been received
with as much favor as any, but
some of the shrewd politicians be-
lieve that with him as a standard
bearer defeat may be almost set
down in advance as inevitable. The
Judge is particularly Objectionable
to the prohibitionists in the party,
as he is an avowed license man
and although license is impossible
under the Ohio Constitution, his
nomination would be taken by
many of the prohibitionists as
measurably equivalent to an anti
prohibitory declaration. There will
be a Prohibition State ticket in the
field, and with Judge Taft as the
candidate for Governor
it would receive much larger vote
than il otherwise would.

If Germany is ever to strike a
blow at France now is the accept
ed time aud the appointed hour.
There is grain of truth in this,
but whether the precipitation OF
war would mend the situation is
problematical. A war between
France and Germany would be
fought under different auspices
than those Of the recent one, and
it might not end to the perfect
satisfaction of Germany. The de-
sire of Germany is toreduce France
to a weakened condition and make
it subservient to Germany. This
can be done. A nation possessed
Of the vitality, vigor and courage
of the French can never long be
made to play second fiddle to any
foreign government.

The Reward of Honesty.

From the Detroit FREQ Press
Judge Kelley is beginning to re-
ceive it right and left because he
has had the honesty and manliness
to declare that his recent Southern
tour has convinced him that vim
dictive legislation toward the South
is unwise and uncalled for. The
Philadelphia Press-the only
paper west of the Alleganies, ac-
cording to its own declaration,
which could see nothing out of the
way in Pacific Mail bribery-cen-
sures Judge Kelley for his declara-
tions, and intimates that Repub-
lican member of Congress has other
duties to perform besides the cham
pionship Of protection-meaning,
we suppose, that he is always ex-
pected to be an out and out parti-
san. The Washington Republican,
the kitchen organ of the admins
tration, which has won some small
notoriety by the way it toadies to
Grant and by the alacrity with
which it attacks any Republican
suspected Of liberal tendencies,
sneers at Judge Kelley after the
most approved fashion. Says the
Republican: at looks as if there
will be three parties in the Eext
House Of Representatives--the Re-
publicans, Democrats and Judge
w. d. Kelley. 1t is hardly posi-
BILE that the latter will be able to
elect its candidate for Speaker" 1t
does not make any difference With |
the Republican journals of its class
that Judge Kelley went South pre-
disposed against that section, hav-
ing condemned IL in advance on the
strength of the representations of
the agents Of the Department Of
Justice and other manufacturers of
outrages to order; that his views
underwent change only through

The number Of prospective can
didates for the Republican nomin-
alton for Governor Of Wisconsin
has been reduced by one-ex-Con-
gresham Sawyer, who was strong
ly urged for the nomination by a
number of journals having positive
" declined to be a candidate. The
Milwaukee News in a brief COM
ment upon the declination, compli-
ments Mr.. Sawyer upon being the
most sagacious and far-sighted
Republican politician in Wisconsin,
and adds that he is not 4 man who
believes in fooling away his time
and money. From present ap-
pearances by the time the Repub-
lican Convention meets in Wiscon-
sin there will be much strife for tie
first place upon the ticket. No
body will be DESTROYS of taking it.

The investigation into the means
by which Spencer secured his cleo
ton by the Alabama Legislature
to the United States Senate dis
closes more ingenuity than homes
ty on the part of that gentleman
and his friends. The testimony OF
Wilcox, who shot himself through
the hat and laid it to the Ku-Klux,
is peculiarly edifying and throws
a good deal of light upon the blood
curdling narratives which the In
ter-Ocean and other organs have
80 loved to publish.

There is reason to fear that the
days of undetectable poisOus have
returned. In the Malinski case
q Chicago case where a mother and
two children died, as was supposed
by poison-the chemist has failed,
after the most searching analysis,
to detect the presence of any poi
son to which he can give name
He is thoroughly convinced that
death resulted from poison, and
makes several guesses as to the
particular kind used; but he is
unable to make any statement
which can be regarded as testimo-
ny. The coroncr's jury have been
compelled, therefore, to find that
the deceased were poisoned, and
that they are unable to say by
what or by whom.

California.

\ gentleman formerly of this
place, now at Eureka, Cal, writes
that California is no place for poor
men, but good openings are always
obtainablc for men with some cap
ital. At Eureka over a thousand
men are idle. Wages are good and
money plenty. Lumbermen COM
mand from $50 to $50 per month
and board, and Transfers from 800
to $50 per month mill men from
$50 per month to s. per day; but
rings are formed in all branches
of industry to keep out strangers
and keep up wages. There is not
work enough in the state to furnish
employment for one tenth of those
who go there. The climate is all
that could be desired, house plants
grow in the open air, but it is hard
ly warm enough to raise good corn /;
beets, cabbage, peas, are full size,
and new potatoes were april llth)
lit for eating. The manner of
numbering in California will seem
rather novel TO Saginaw men. Saw
logs are from eight to fourteen
feet through and they quarter them
with gun powder before they get
them to the mill. II is no uncom-
mon sight to see boards six feet
wide. There is plenty Of square
spruce timber got ont for ship
building, the sticks being from no
to 100 feet long.-C0urier.
