THE OLD REPUBLICANS OF ORMSBY
COUNTY.

That type OF political morality known as
Australian Reform is The tombstone which
ought always to bo applied to American affairs.
II is particularly necessary in Ormsby County,
and the valued e1ponents Of that efficient sys-
TEN of political correction are OPPORTUNITY here.
A great and good work was inaugurated last
fall in its name and under It's benign aus
pjces. IL only awaits completion to make us
happy people 1t was an evil hour when
the Republican party drifted away beyond
the reach of the clarion voices of Bob Clarke
and Tom Wells. 1t vas a sorrowfui mistake
when the pervacseness of the dear old party
declined to renominate Clarke to some Office
and Knkead for Clerk of the Supreme Court.
The ignoble attitude of the party was also
painfully manifest when Wells was omitted
from the list Of its standard bearers. The
Republican party onght to be transported be-
yond the seas for ever t0lerating the suppOsl-
ton that it ever was a sure-enough party at
al. 1t onght to quickly resolve that it was
never organized. 1t ought to remember that
it never WAS anything bat sort of contingent
for the Of ante bellum Democrats and
od line Wings, and Reforners etc. The dear
old party mnst not forget hereafter that
Mason, Tubriuer, a TItiy and Davis and
a score of others gave literally OF their 1neaus
~ support the party, and were at all times
ready with coin when called on. That vas
business like, and the so called Republican
party must be reformed and get back to the
earlier and purer days and ways etc. Mighty
convenient kind Of refor;n when you come to
think about ii. Don you see, you mercen-
ary soldiers who never did anything but serve
in the Union Army, that you have oVe"Tun
every community and have caused the cheeks
of Reform to sutfuse with bushes? Don't you
see that YOU are corruptlng the Republican
party and helping into office citizens OF this
County, who neither by the use Of money,
voice any other means have assisted in
maintaining the union Of the States intact!

Hymer. What was said is not known. bnt
Hyner fired and shot West in the groin. DR.

Deputy Sheriff, who, with the assistance of
Adams and Riddle got him away in buggy.

Terrible Scene i'm a Menagerie.

A thrilling accident recently Oc-
cured i'll travelling menagerie at
Towanda, Pa, which is thus related
by local paper: The animals in
one cage, two lions and a tiger,
were fed at that time, ,being separat.
ed by swinging doors, which were
fastened during the feeding, and
atterward lifted, throwing the ami
mails together as happy family.
These doors were lifted after it was
supposed the animals had finished
their meal, but a large piece of
meat had been left by the liOness.
This the tiger saw, and was about
to spring upon it, when the lion
covered it with his paw. Professor
Mcdonald, the trainer, spoke to
the lion but, he refused to move,
and he then tried to force the meat
from sthe animals paws with the
feeding fork, but without purpose,
as the lion held on and growled in
defiance. To the horror of those
standing around, the professor
opened the door of the cage and
spraug almost upon the beast,
which in turn sprang upon the man,
striking him powerful blow on
his chest that staggered him and
lacerated the flesh. An attendant,
thinkingto assist,the now powerless
trainer, caught him by the foot and
pulled him near the door. The lion
again struck him, tearing the flesh |
in his thigh. The situation at this
time was one of terrible suspense
to those who were Involuntary |
witnesses of it. Ladies tainted, |
children screamed; but the trainer
who seemed suddenly to recover
his senses, was on his feet in a mo-
ment. He looked the big beast
in the eyes, and met him
halt way, maintaining the steady
gaze. He said in a firm yet affec-
tionate manner, "Ned, what are
you doingf Do you want to kill
me, your best friend ?" The Tow
anda paper says that really seemed
that the "king OF the forest" un-
1erstood every word that was being
said to him, for, dropping his eyes,
he went to the piece of meat and
showed it to his keeper. He then
his trainer and looked
very penitent for what he had done,
wing calmly down at his feet.

From a recent interview.

from recent interview
There is no doubt that we are
just beginning an era of healthful
prosperity. Nothing can check
it. We are the granary for the
world. Our crop this year is enor-
nous. Industries thrive. Last
year we put down over 5000 miles
railroad. This year it will be 1000.
The only question is whether the
prosperity will continue. It is
bound to continue, ] think, but we
shall have no era of high prices
simply a healthy, remunerative
with moderate prices,
that will enable consumers to go
on with their enterprises. This is
trueprosperity. High prices check
progress. We have got to that
stage when everything will go on
without an era of high prices.

II, for the sake of popularity, or
to be cooperative with the enlight-

teenth century, we accept of the
principles of right, as opposed to
wrong, of virtue, rs opposed to
vice, our conduct, and the px-
pressions of our lips must harm0-
nizs with such professions; for,
the every word that fails from our
lips, the every act that propells
and moves our existence, has its
parallel force in the sphere of good
or evil. Abuse, slander, persecu-
tion and the like, each have their
corresponding effect; because the
very spirit which gives them birth,
is actuated by nature foul and
reprehensible in its compositlOn-a
nature that trusts no one, aud one
that no one can trust. 1t must
have been some one who could APP

One little tear, if gently shed,
Can heal the spirit, bruscd and broken.
And cnre the heart that long hath bled."
In accordance with the "eternal
fitness OF things" every human
soui has before it q mirror, by
