At this particular juncturc no
exclamation of warning can be
more specially appropriate, when
addressed to Masons. We are IN
tho midst of a heated political can
vas, and all parties are vigorously
contcnding for the mastery, and
we urge. the brethren to steady
when about to take some dishon-
est advantage Of their opponents.
Remember that our obligation to
each other as Masons bears equal.
ly upon us IL every department Of life.
Let no undue partisan excitement
lead us to unjustly offend our
brethren, ard by all means never
allow politics to insinuatc itself
into the lodge.
Steady whom critlcising the po-
litIcal motives and actions of the
brethren, lest n wrong be done
them, a personal breach be created
and an irreparable injury done TO
Masonry.
Steady, brethren, steady and
when you see n brother about to
do wrong, gcntly but firmly re
mind him Of those ties that bind
HIM to protect and deiend rather
than to do violence to the motives
of a brother. Tho univcrsality Of
Masonry obliteratos distinctions
and places upon one common level
all Of every nation, kindred and
creed.
Steady, brethren. remembering
that Charity hideth Il multitude OF
faults Masonic Journal.
There Is nothing wrong in ear
nestly advocating the election OF
the nominees of that political party
whose principles we believe to be
purest, and whose success we deem
tor the best interests of our country;
but, in opposing or criticising u
brother, we ought to do so in an
honorable and gentlcmanly man
ncr, and use moderate and Just
language. We have no right to
traduce, abuse, Witty and slandcr
him because of our political differ
enccs. He may be as sincere and
honest in his political Vows as we
are, No good Mason--ro man
whose heart and intellect has been
properly trained in our ranks
permits differences OF opinion IN
politics to disturb, impair or break
tho bond of union that binds him
to our great brotherhood. Let us
then, brethren, always strive to be
Just, and under no circumstances
permit our passions and prejudiccs
to override our better judgments,
nor to drive us INTO un Masonic
treatment Of, or conduct toward,
any brother Mason. Indeed, po.
litical or religious differences Of
opinion should not, at any time,
affect our Masonic o. social rcla-
tions with those who differ with
us.-T TDewitt Democrat.

depravity OF heart. Are the voters
to be guided, and led hy their
noses by such lcpcrs? whose duty
il is to fabricato telling" false
hoods to benefit their bosses ITO
dclude the innocent and unwary
voters that are unfortunate enough
to come within the radius of the
poisonous atmosphere surrounding
them? Yet such is the fact.
The day will eventually come,
when men will have enough OF
common sense" to judge for
themselves which candidates arc
the proper ones to fill their offices,
without blackmailing their oppo-
nents, If any, and without the
guidance of blind, bitter partisans
and "hired politicians" who are a
disgrace to tho community in
which they live, and do no honor
to their principals. 1 am for " fair
play" a manly mode of soliciting
votes, to seek an Office strictly upon
their own merits, not upon the de-
merits of their opponents, let the
people be the judges, who arc the
sovereign power within the county
limits, as regards thor officials.
Intcmporance of party, whcr
ever found, never will meet with
my appreciation. 1t is a most ca
lamitous scourgo to our country ;
the banc Of social enjoyment, OF
individual Justice and OF public vir-
tue. Seek to uphold your measures
by arguments, not by denunciators.
Sugmatizc not opposition to your
notions with offensive epithets.
These prove nothing but the indi-
vidual's anger and his weakness,
and they arc sure to generate u
spirit of moral resistance, not easi.
" to be checked or tanned.

Enthusiasm.

Enthusiasm is better than dc
spcAdency. 1t is sort of elixii
that stimulates tho dormant feel.
ings, and calls INTO action the nobler
impulses of the human soul. But
it is not always conducive TO the
best results. 1t may be aroused by
false motives, and carried to per.
nlcious and destructive oncs. Poll.
ucIans take advantage Of tins lever
to tho emotional nature, and by
fallacious appeal they stir tho fires
of Jealousy, hatred, malice and re-
vengo till the people, with tb,
cause they lave espouscd, are in.
iured by their burnings.
The less enthusiasm and The
moro cool investigation and rca
son we have in political campaigns,
The moro satisfactory the results.
Whore there is great bautering and
Boosting; and threatening, thai
old spirit OF active reese ntmcnt IL

brought into existence; compcti-
ton, which Is a great virtue if hon.
estly controlled, is wrought up to
the highest point, and honor and
justice are madly trampled under
foot OF frcnzicd men. Men who
are not sufficiently interested IN
political matters to investigate and
vote, within themselves, ought not
to be coaxcd, and urged, and driven
by the enthusiastic impulses OF
others.
Enthusiasm is good thing if not
excited for base purpose. Some
times, indeed often, tho scnsibili-
ties of the soul are deadencd and
the passions set aflame by the use
of strong drink. Such men arc
boisterous and animated, or rather
SPIRITED, but no intelligent enthu-
siasm controls them. 1t is not gen.
uine enthusiasm, bat kind of dis
graceful, british noiso that makes
them appear Jealous and devoted
to their cause.
Now such work as this is the
bano Of American politics. IL
threatens our country at each re.
curing election, and will finally
break it in fragments if not di-
vorted and crushed out by the ON
impotence of virtuous people.
We are sick of 1T. We detest il
with a growing hatred.
The wrong motives are appealed
to tho wrong arguments are used !;
improper incentives are held up
before the people, and, with a mad,
blind rush, they imperil the ma.
tons life. We hopo to see the day
when purity and honesty in the
political arena shall prevail, and
the voice of the people shall be
heard and respectfully obeyed.-

"PM pledged to vote for him,

have his signature appended to a
declaration like this? The man
who prctends to vote for a man
because he is pledged, and works
against him at the same time must
be n lineal descendant of Judas
Iscariot. Vote for man that you

lNnEPENpENT You bot. The
people are now, and will continue
to be more independent in ohoos-
ing their candidates and voting for
them than at any preceding elec-
ton. Almost any man you meet,
black or white, will toll you who
he is for. They talk it right out,
and tell you why they prefer this
and the other candidate. Candi.
dates have n right TO vote tor
whom they please, but they must
not expect TO make out the tickets
OF the people. The voter will at
tend to that duty himself. The
test is, who is best qualified aud
pest fitted for the place, not who is
he for, for Sheriff, Assessor, or any
Other office. Common sense, as
wei as common independence will
be the rule in this election.

think he can come TO us, and by
back-blting tales, turn us against
our friends. We never change

pccially when we know the person
trying to bring about this result,
is the political enemy of the men

1T Is u pretty cute, but rather
thin electionccring dodge to clam
the results Of growing wealth, pop
ulauon and financial prosperity in
the county, rs due to the efforts of
Sheriff and Collector. The great
business boom struck tho country
IN the year 1873, and from that
time to tins the country has boen
steadily prospering North, South,
East and West. Tho years which
preceded II, were years Of gloom
and financial destruction, the
natural fruits of carpet bag and
scalavag rule, in connection with
crop failures. Because there is
financial prosperity in the country,
increased wealth and population,
is q candidate to gloriiy himself
and dcprcss his predecessor? Only
very weak heads can be fooled by
such clap,trap as this. 1t looks to
us ike The people who have paid
thclrtaxos rather than loose their
property, are entitled to somo OF
the credit. 1t was good thing
for them that they were prosper
Gus enough to pay their taxes.
This is all there is in IT, and the
