AN address of President Garfield,
delivered three years ago before an
assemblage of journalists, has been re-
called, wherein he recognized the print
ing press as the most powerful weapon
with which man has ever armed himself
for the fight against ignorance and OBJ
preston: "Let the journalist" said
Mr.. Garfield, "defend the doctrines of
the party which he approves. Let him
criticiae and condemn the party which
ne does not approve, reserving, always,
his right to applaud his opponents or
eensare his friends as the truth may
require, and he will be independent
enough for a free country"

SENATOR HILL, of Georgia, thinks
that Senator Isham G. Harris, of Ten
nessee, will more than likely be elected
to fill the vacancy created by Arthur's
promotion to the Presidency. He Gays
that Mr.. Harris is the best presiding
officer in the Senate-certainly on the
Democratic side-and he adds: 'Sen-
ator Bayard would doubtless be elected
we're it not that his deafness is a draw
back to his being a good presiding
officer. My judgment is, however, that
it will be either Mr.. Harris or Senator
Bayard."

of its Importance and prosperity, is the
extensive lumber mill Of Messrs. Polite

about 1000 persons derive their sup

tanned from up Pearl river. Some from

from Bayou LaComb, La MeSsrs.

from abroad is increasing, and prices
are looking up. They are shipping

that Pearl river ought to be cleaned out

Grange Notes,

N"Continue for another hall
century the power now exercis-
ed by the corporations to tax
the public, and we will have in
this country monied aristoc-
racy such as the world has
never seen, and with it all the
attendant phenomena of venal
legislation and corruption in
high places such as has been
the downfall of all the great re-
publics of history"
A common carrier is a per-
son who for a reasonable rate is
obliged to carry any one who
offersyhimselt OF his goods for
oafriage. THE carrier asks. an
unreasonable price at his peril,
for such demand makes him
liable for damages as much as
If he had capriciously refused to
carry. What the charges shall
be- isyajudieial question; but the
legislature may, from time to
time, provide rules of evidence
and prescribe maximum rates
for the guidance Of the courts,
and such legislature does not
make a Contract between the
carrier and the state that the
tariff shall not be charged.
The great questions now ag-
itating the people are too i'm
portant to be settled in a mo-
ment without thought. Quacks
are numerous with remedies
that are sure to cure-in their
estimation. People are begin
ming to fall into the error that
any bill referring to the ques-
ton will settle the whole mat
ter. This is a grave mistake:
The regulation of transporta-
ton rates, the restriction ofcor-
porate power, the control of the
accumulation of immense
amounts of property in a few
hands are questions that need
careful study and faithful effort
to master; Demagogism is not
wanted in this Geld.
