Party Spirit.

II il disgusting to the honest, iii.
dependent voter to observe to what
extent encouragement is given to
the spirit of party, not only by
professional politicians in general,
but by the partisan press Of the
country in particular Men may
honestly hold strong convictions
IN regard to principles advocated
by one political party or another;
men may, and do, honestly differ
in regard to what are right prin-
ciples Of government. Rut whole
sale dcnnnciation Of parties and Of
the men of which they mc composed
is all wrong.
We believe that n large majority
Of the members Of both the great
political parties are men who net
and vote in accordance with their
honest convictions. tis only when
the baser element of either party
gains the ascondency that there il
cause for alarm. 1t is the lying in
favor of the men and principles of
ones own party and against the
men and principles Of the opposite
party of which we would COM
plain.
Take for instance the Darlington
Republican,, the mcancst partisan
newspaper that comes to our table,
II we except the Wisconsin State
Journal. For nearly four years we
have closely watched It's editorial
columns, which are edited by
Gen. Blntllll, who aside from his
politics is n courteous and allable
gentleman. During these four
years. there has been no measure
ehampioncd by the Republican
party, which has not met with the
cordial support of this paper.
while on the other hand, the DEM
ocrats have not, il We arc to Judge
by the Republican, done anything
worthy of commentator. TO the
republican, no evils exist within
its own party which should DO
guarded against; and we challenge
anyone To point out u single line
wherein il has independently crit
icised any measure proposed or
advocated BY its party leaders,
while it has been constantly cropping
after the evils in the Democratic
party. The detalcation Of DEM
ocratic official occurring il thousand
miles away would be announced
with headlines by the Republican,
and dwelt upon as al argument
against trusting the Democratic par
ty. The shortcomings Of Repub-
Leans, if spoken of nj all, would be
apologized for, or explained away,
The leaders Of the Republican party
il considers pure and patriotic
men, seeking only their country $
good, the leaders Of the Demo.
cratic party, ollice-seekcrS and
traitors to the government
We know that the form ii
political lunacy of which we speal,
i common, It is because It Inns
become common that We complain.
1t is not confined to members Of
the Republican party, by any

IMPORTANT TO THE CIGAR TRADE.
We have recently had our attention called
10 new and important Improvement in tho
manufacture of cigars, and as it is one that is
clearly destined to revoiutfonize the cigar bust
ness, we have had one of our reporters, who
especially conversaut with the tobacco and
patentees. The invention was patented May
Il, 1878, by Messrs. j. & A. Frey. These
gentlemen have had many years experience
IN the cigar business. The cigars are made
principally of the very best seed and Havana
tooaccos, with closed tucks, and amongst the
advantages they possess over all other cigars
may be mentioned: A positive retention OF
the aroma of the flller-its loss by evaporation
beng impossible, A BETTER quicker and en-
hrely round light; and they will not break
when carried in the pocket. These are advan-
'ages which will be recognized by every
smoker as being OF the greatest Importance.
In short, it m y be said that Messrs.. j. & A..
Frey have made very decided hit with their
new idea. No one can properly realize the deli
caey of the flavor and aroma of cigar made
IN this way until he makes personal trial,
and this we advise our readers, whether in
The trade or not, to do Even in the appear
auee OF the cigar there is something novel and
attractive, the small, neat twist, which secures
aud tas'ens the whole, being decided i'm
provement. Though the new patent cigar has
seen tor such short time before the public,
tnere are already indications that its manutac-
lure in the skilliul and experienced hands OF
he Messrs. Frey will prove wonderfully sue,
:essful commercial enterprise.

Messrs. j. & A. Frey's goods are noted for
.heir excellence OF manufacture and superior
quality OF stock used. Having had an expe-
rlence OF twenty years they can satisfy any
taste, from the most fastidious to the most
ordinary. 1t is always well to know that
manufacturers are competent to judge properly
as to the quality OF stock, and have thorough
insight into the details of their business, and
We can confidently recommend Messrs. Frey
TO I'LL the bill in these respects.

A Fatal Mistake.

Woodson Tudor, a farmer, on
Saturday went into drug store
in Richmond, KY, and asked for
some whiskey, complaining of
being sick. The druggist had been
compromising a prescription and
at the time was going out front to
deliver it to person in waiting.
He therefore told Tudor to take a
glass and draw the whiskey from
barrel. He misunderstood, and
Tudor poured out what he suppos-
ed was whiskey from a bottle on
the counter. 1t was soon discover
ed that he had swallowed a fatal
dose of aconite, and died in few
hours, in spite of medical aid.

STATE SENATOR,

lie contest for the nomination of
State Senator for this district was
virtually decided by the primaries
held in Jefferson county on Satur-
day. We believe the nomination is
conceded to Jefferson county, and
the contest was between Senator
Butler and DR.. j. d. Starry. The
result Of the primaries is a hand
some Endorsement Of DR.. Starry, he
having a decided majority of the
delegates from Jefferson.
The Spirit Of Jefferson, in refer
ring TO the result, has the correct
view of the matter, and pertinently
remarks:
CDR. Starry was handsomely en-
dorsed at the primaries in this cOun-
ty on Saturday last, as candidate
for the State Senate, a decided ma
jority of the delegates elected being
in his favor. We therefore take it
for granted that Berkely county, ac-
cording to the rule heretofore pre-
vailing, will cast her vote solid in
convention for the gentleman hav-
ing the majority here, and give him
the nomination on the first ballot.
We have no doubt the delegates
from Berkeley will be governed by
the decision of Jefferson, and will
ratify its choice of candidates

the guilty pair put up at a hotel
there under the name of Mason

she would not be able to get back

THE AMENDMENTS.

The amendments to the State con-
stitution to be voted on at the Octo-
Der election, do not seem to receive
the careful attention which their i'm
portance deserves. They should be
read and studied with care in all
their provisions. The changes which
their adoption will bring about in
our county government are impor-
tant, and in some instances quite
radical. The adoption of the judi
cial amendment will do away with
the County Court system, and place
the fiscal affairs of the county in the
han dsof three Commissioners. 1t is
claimed that the system proposed by
Amendments is much better and
cheaper than the present system, land
in many counties will save taxpay-
ers a large amount of money. Every
man is interested in the proposed
change to a greater or less extent,
and therefore should study the mat
ter carefully for himself before cast
ing his ballot for or against it.

gentleman who lives right in the
town of Charleston. If the Courier
is right in its surmises and asser-
tions, then citizen of Charleston
snapped the capital for the Attor-
ney-Generalship. If Charleston is
in danger of losing the capital; if, in
deed, plans to that and are matur-
ing, the Courier ought not to take
on so terribly about it, since the
arrangement" which makes it pos
sible was consummated by one of
its own citizens.
1t is true that Charleston is not
"out Of the woods" by long ways
on the capital business; and it is
further true that she pursues a very
short sighted policy in deliberately
striking down those who could be of
most service to her in the hour of
her tribulation, which is fast ap-
preaching.
1t would be in accordance with
the eternal fitness of things if
Charleston should lose the capital
through the ambitions scheming of
one of her own citizens

Scarcity OF Labor I'm Louis
lana.

The Louisiana cotton planters
are worried at the scarcity of la
borers at the present time, when
more than ever before they are re-
quired TO secure the largest cotton
crop ever grown in the state.
Agents have been sent to Kansas
to induce some of those who left
the South last year to return to
their old homes, and efforts are
making to obtain emigrants from
Europe. Several hundred laborers
have been induced to start from
Louisville, provided with tents for
camping out, so that they can
move from one plantation to an
other in accordance with the de-
mands for their labor. 1t is hoped
that these hands, after the exper-
fence of a single season, will be in
dued TO become permanent set
tiers, and in time cotton planters
on their own account.

INDIANA.

The New York Sun is clearly right
in asserting that there is no reliance
to be placed in the newspaper state
ments in regard to the result of the
Indiana election. You pick up a
Democratic paper and read that
.''the State is certain to 60 Demo-
cratic-the Republicans give it up"
You take up Republican paper and
read, 'the State is certain to go
Republican-the Democrats give it
up" The truth is they know little
or nothing about it. No man can
tell in advance how it will 60. 1t Is
a close State, and both parties are
fighting with the desperation of de-
spair for success. Neither party can
we'll afford to lose 1.-THE Democrats
not all, and hence the struggle will
be fierce and desperate. If the Dem
ocrats were to lose Indiana it would
be a virtual loss of the national cam
paign, for the moral effect of defeat
in that State in October would be
equal to the loss of several doubtful
States in November. 1t is really the
pivotal State in the fight. If the
Republicans are badly beaten in In
diana, the moral effect on New
York will make that State certain
for the Democrats in November, and
with New York and Indiana theil
victory is complete. Therefore the
fight in Indiana will be such as has
never before been made in that
State, and until the returns of the
election are received, no one Car
make even a good guess at the re-
suit.
