Occasionally we hear a Republican
say that in county matters lie 'don't care
for party" Now we are not so partizan
that we would say elect bad Republi-
can over a good Democrat or Greenback-
err. We do not believe that ought to be
done. But we do say that the Republi-
can party is under obligations to put
none but good men in the field as candi-
dates, and when that is done, then every
Republican ought TO support such can
didates. 1t Is just as important TO keep
up party organization in county capac-
ity as in any other. The scratching of
candidates, unless for good reasons, dis
organizes and scatters the party and
thus demoralizes it, and renders its
work futile. In politics a half a
victory is better than defeat. II
the OPPOSITION can defeat just one of
the Republican candidates in this coun-
" it would be heralded as a Democrat
ic triumph. There is no excuse for al
lowing them to defeat single man on
the Republican ticket this year. They
were all fairly nominated by large con-
vention, and they are all good men and
well qualified for the offices for which
they are running.
Remember that scattered army can
do no valuable service, and that there is
important work before us next year.
Close up the ranks and allow no enemy,
for selfish or political purposes, to break

REPuBL1cAN MANAaEMENT.

Those who are grumbling about the

read now and then what the world out.
side the United States thinks of the mat
ter. The London (Ont) Advertiser of a
recent date says:
Within two years the interest upon the
debt of the United States will he $780,
OO0, 900 year less than it was at the close
of the war. Looking, then, at the posi-
ton of the United States and Canada, we
see that our neighbors are marching in
the direction of emancipation from ma
t1onaI burdens: we in the direction of
larger obligations. Since the Federal
union of these provinces, they have paid
off 81 900, 000,000 of their debt; we have
more than doubled ours. While they
have diminished the interest upon their
debt As per cent, we have increased the
interest upon our debt nearly 40 per cent.
By the end of this century they will have
no debt, and population of 10000, 900 I;
and weeshall have debt of $500, 100000
and population 100000. For the cur
rent year the annual charge per capita
for interest upon the public debt in the
two countries Is about the same; for the
past twenty years we have had the adj
vantage: after this year the advantage
will be with them. When our Pacific
railroad is completed, wholly apart from
the interest upon the debt which 1t will
occasion, 1t will add under the most ia
vorable auspices $6,0O0,000 year to our
burdens for running expenses. With a
yearly burden of $13,500,0G0 as interest
upon our Indebtedness abroad, and with
half as much more for losses upon the
working of government railways, we
shall be in sorry condition to compete
with the United States, which country,
without any public burdens, viii possess
thirteen times our population and forty
times our wealth

NEARLY "PETERED OUT,

The sands seem TO be passing out from
under the foundation of the Greenbaclx
party rapidly. We clip the following
from the Troy Chief:
As soon as the result of the Ohio cleo
ton was known, the Cincinnati Enquirer,
II semi-Greenback paper, exclaimed that
the Democrats had enough Greenback
foolishness, and now give them Tilden.
The Atchison Patriot, the Democratic
organ of northern Kansas, takes up the
echo, "Give us Tilden." They have been
honeyfuggling with the Greenbacll party,
counting it and pandering to it, for the
sake Of coalitions, and having inglorious-
ly failed, they sigh for Tilden's "bar'l, -
and beg for n chance to support him,
with his anti-Greenback doctrines. The
Greenbackers of Doniphan county have
entered into an unholy alliance with
Democrats who will rejoice in an op.
portunity to swallow Tilden's hard mo-
ney principles as eagerly as they en-
dorsed Greenback sentiments, for the
sake of Office. When the Greenbackers
como down to that, they are pretty near
ly ''petered out" and may as well throw
up the sponge.
In other counties the alliance has moi
worked we'll. In Douglas county, where
the Greenbackers were gobbled by the
Democrats, there was an open split in
the Greenback party, Judge Bailey and
hosts OF others kicking the whole thing
in the fire, and going into an independ
cnt Greenback movement. Elder Mitch
ell has pronounced an alliance will
Democrats as a league with the devil,
and so il goes. In this county there wa.
an alliance, but many good Democrats
will not endorse it at the polls. while thu

PROVING BIBLE HISTORY,

Those who are DESTROYS of testing the
literal accuracy Of the early books in the
Old Testament are Offered an opportun-
ity in scheme proposed by Able
MeIgne, which he undertakes to carry
out if he can succeed in raising 1000
francs. According to surveys made by
NJ. De Lesseps and others, it has been
pretty conclusively shown that 2, 200 or
$500 years ago the ebb and flow of the
tide in the Red Sea came long distance
to the north of what is now the limit of
its waters. When this fact is taken into
consideration il is found that the plans
which have hitherto been made of the
probable place of crossing of Moses and
the fugitive Israelites have been miscal-
culated, and patient research on the ba-
sis of this new discovery shows that the
spot where their passage was made is
now dry land. And now Able Meigne
enters into the discussion, and in an ar
ticle in his paper, Les Mondes, claims
that an opportunity is afforded of prov
ing the truthfulness of the scriptural ac
count of the flight of the children of Is
rael and the destruction of Pharaoh's ar
my. If the chariOts, their horses, and
their riders were buried by the waves
traces of this overthrow must; he thinks
still exist. The Able therefore propos
es, when the sum stated above has been
subscribed, to make excavations all
along the route of march which must
have been followed, feeling confident
that he will find there the arms and
heavy equipments of the Egyptian host

that the ''Ohio Democrats will hence

what was to be expected. All the soft

only hope is To scramble upon u hard

Who fills the bill, and unless he declines
to accept the position, he will almos
inevitably be the candidate. If he loses
New York in November, he has ar
ample excuse for the defeat in the revol
