THE END NOT YET

To men who have passed the meridian
of life, these are strange times. All be
came elated with the delusive prosperi-
ty which had prevailed in the country.
But few took time to analyze passing
events. None could fail to see that
many things were going wrong, but all
hopefully believed that time would right
the wrong, and soon business and State
affairs would floW in natural channels.
How delusive such a hope! BIeL became
corrupt as opportunity presented itself,
and then corruption begat corruption
The spirit of self seeking invaded every
department of life. So soon as people
begin to feel that there is no moral
wrong to take advantage of the govern
ment and act with duplicity in public
matters, that soon viii men be faithless
in the private walks of life. Then we
say, with much stress, the end of our
troubles has not yet come
4 Before our political, moral and finan-
cial sky becomes clear, double dealing,
rascality and fraud must be punished
and made at least to take a secluded
place in the background Law must be
respected and obeyed. Good men must
be invited to come forward and fill our
important Offices. Political success
must not depend upon trickery. The
moneyed aristocrat, who has already re-
fceived more money in the way of inter
est than his bonds have actually cost
him, must also become sincere and hon
est, and quit his hypocritical cant about
the masses being dishonest in wishing
to relieve themselves of oppressive bur
dens, and in demanding that capital
shall bear equally with labor the bur-
dens of the government.
We detest spirit of communism; but
we sympathize with the toiling millions
who have been induced, by the mal-ad-
ministration of public affairs, TO believe
that governments and dishonesty are in
dissolubly connected. A fearful future
is just ahead of us, If there are not
sagacity, firmness and prudence in pub
lie men, and industry, honesty and
economy among the people.

While differing with Hon. A. s. Colyar
on the question of the State debt, we
yield large portion of our paper to-day
to the publication of his late speech at
Columbia. Col COlyar, if he represents
anything, represents the brains of the
low tax party, and his proclamation to
have the vexed question of State finances
settled within tie Democratic party is
sound doctrine and a point we'll taken,
and his defense of Messrs. Cherry, o.
Conner 81 Co, lcssees of the Penitentia-
~, is well timed and disposes of the
ring cry so far as the lease is concerned.
AS to the former lease it is we'll known
to all who are informed on the sub
ject that it was adopted by large ma
jority of the Legislature, and was gen
orally endorsed as happy solution of
perplexing question.

A LIE OUT.

1t is an unfortunate state Of public
sentiment which permit, any anony-
NOUS scribbler or irresponsible adven-
'urer to raise question of veracity
with reputable citizens upon matters
in which the public are interested.
We once heard q disreputa bic charac.
ter cay to clergyman in the pulpit
That's . id lie p The losfer was
fired out and the clergyman was not
called upon through public print to
vindicste his character for veracity.
There were no newspapers in the
neighborhooi mean enough to do such
thing. Now party less responsible
hiding his personality under the pro
"oun "we'-has repeatedly ard per-
sistently charged that Col. Larrabe-
was the author of the railroad pla, K
in the Vancouver platform, and names
Col. Nash as authority for the charge.
and several reputable men have given
crrdence to the irresponsible statement
30 far rs to suggest that it ought to be
exclaimed. We know Of no other ex.
planation than to prone unce the charge
~ without any 4 urdation in truth AT
unqualified, unconditional lie. and its

And this we do upon the personal re-
sponSibility of the senior editor Of this
paper. The resolution drafted by
Col. Larrabee-among several others
and taken tn the Vancouver convention
by Col Nash. contained me- such words
~ "unQuslifiedly." ''uncnnditional'y."
or any other words Of like meaning or
import. or in fact. any expression in
which tho people Of this section would
not nearly unanimously concur and
this has been repeatedly stated. pub.
'icly and privately by both Col. Lara
bee and Col. Nash. It is absurd to
suppose that man who has occupied
the honorable public positions and
maintained the high social standing
that Col. LasrAbee has for IS years,
would deliberately degrade hims.lf to
level with common blackguard by
'nventing aud repeating . lie which
could be 60 easily proved upon him /;
and during the residence OF Col. Nash
ia this city We have not before hesrd
his veracity questioned; AMI whatever
rcul,r remark be may have made
,bout "Lsrrabee's pls,foru." we are
certain he never stated that Larrnbee
