The pious ''liftingup of hands, by
the Georgia press against the prac-
tice of carrying concealed weapons
is mostly the tiimsiest bosh. The
true way to make the practice harm
less is the speedy trial and execu
ton of murderers.-- cambridge { Ga. J
Democrat.
That's the doctrine fairly and
squarely stated. Murder is murder,
and murderers ought to be hung
IAN eye for an eye; q tooth for a
tooth, and life for life," the old
Mosaic law, ought to be enforced
against whisky bullies and assassins.
What we need to do is to hang all
the "monsters' and barbarians who
commit murder, and the concealed
weapon bugbear will settle ITSELF
First "be sure you are right" and
then hang them.

Among the Democratic papers
usually to be commended for truth
and candor is the Charleston News
and Courier. 1t gives great deal
OF wholesome advice to the Democ-
racy. Among the good things late
ly said is the following: "The
Democratic party can win, and must
win in 1880, with a candidate who is
the defender of the constitution and
the champion of union and public
faith. But if the Democrats make
up their mind to frame a platform
that shall be half western and half
half eastern, with sop for the Ohio
idea and Grub for the national
bondholders, they will lose strength
at both ends of the line. Mr.. Facing

An exchange says: awe like to
see a man refuse to take his local
paper, and all the time sponge upon
his neighbors, the reading of it. We
like to hear a man complain when
we ask him to subscribe for his home
paper, that he takes more than he
reads now; and then go around and
borrow his neighbours or loaf around
him until he gathers the news from
it. We like to see merchant or
mechanic refuse to advertise in his
home paper and then try to get a
share of the trade which the news
paper brings to the town. But above
all things We like to see one of your
rich misery men, who cannot pay
for a local paper, always manage to
be around in time to read the paper
at the expense of his friend, not
worth the tenth part of what he is.

There's nothing like the courage
screwed up by mean, maddening
whisky, which does its foul, bloody
work and then gently gets down on
its knees in the presence of outraged
law and piteously pleads temporary
insanity. The country has heard
enough of it and juries will listen to
no more of it in Texas. If a man
would murder and escape the hang
man, let him at least be sober when
the horrible deed was done. Cow.
ards and sneaks resort to whisky to
strengthen nerveless assassins' arms.

The Little Falls s. Dakota r. r.

$ :
By an article on the FIRST page head
ed IA Railroad Scheme" it will be
seen that a plan is on foot to kill the
project to build the Little Falls &
Dakota railroad. It is our belief that
the people along the projected route
are too wide awake to need any adj
vice in this matter, but we will merely
express The opinion that if the counties
and towns along the route fail to vote
bonds to aid in the construction of the
Little Falls & Dakota road, the st.
Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba compa-
ny will not build a mile of their pro-
pesed road from Sank Centre to Big
Stone Lake. Such a line cannot pay,
and the St. Paul, Minneapolis & Nam
ltoba company cnn have no object in
building such line except to kill the
Little Falls & Dakota project. If the
bond proposition Is voted down, the St.
P, NJ. & NJ. Go. will at once abandon
the construction of the new line as be-
ing no longe. necessary; but if the
bond proposition is carried, that com>
pany will probably build their pro-
posed line as the only means to kill
the Little Falls & Dakota. In that
case the L. F. & D. would not be
built, and no bonds would be issued,
aud Pope and Stevens counties and
Sank Centre would have new road
without giving any bonuses.

Royalton Correspondence.

From our Regular Correspondent.
Royalton, Oct. %, 1879.
There is little or no excitement over
the coming election.
Wheat is coming in very slowly on
account of the high prices paid, ex>
pect heavy receipts as soon as prices
are reduced.
Geo. Geissel, ESQ.,, of North Prai>
RE, has nearly completed his new store,
which will be one of the best in Morr;-
son county.
The prospect Of getting bridge
over Platte river is more favorable.
and there is no doubt it will be built
before spring. This will give the
Rich Prairie farmers a short line to
Royalton market, from two to three
miles nearer than any other.
Rev. j. 5. Bouck preached last
Sunday to the largest audience that
has gathered at the station since the
meetings have been held at that place,

the railroad bridge over Platte river,
few days ago, slipped and fell dis

price will remain at $3.50 per annnum,
although the expense of publishing
the Transcript after the enlargement
will be double what 1t has been here

good newspaper, instead of two or
three sick}y ones, and in this their
Judgment is sound.
