RmIc or Ruin.

There is an unusually able and strong con-
densation of wisdom in the following para
graph, from the Syracuse Journal:
The democrats show much better discipline or
cohesion than the republicans in the election Of
United States senators. They defer to the voice of
the majority aud ratify the selections of the eau
Gus. The democratic party recognize tho boss
system, while the republican party is in revolt
against the bosses. This causes the differing con-
ditions In the two parties.
1t might be appropriate, under some con-
ditions Of society, to encourage revolution and
secession. II is conceivable that such a state
of affairs might exist which would justify re-
calcitrancy and opposition. Nosuch condition
has ever existed in the republican party. The
boiling and seeding has been done by n feeble
minority, who have ragged and fumed because
of the successful management Of the majority.
Men of small mental calibor have been de-
tcrmined to rule or ruin the republican
party. Failing in the former, they
have actively cssayed the latter In either
case they have accomplished nothing, except
q temporary perturbation i'll the minds Of
weaklings. The same spirit which led the
majority in the slave states to secessionaand
disintegration, when they found themselves
unable to dominate national affairs, has led
certain republicans to pursue n policy of Sc
Cesson and disintegTation from their party.
Tho endeavor to dissemble and cloak the
hidcousness of their infamy under the cries
reform, bossism, Hubbellism, and machine,
has been abortive. Their success in binding
the eyes of n largo number of their party to
the real cause of their secession has been
temporary and of real and lasting benefit to
the people themselves, A new generation
must be born and raised ere doputy-bourbons
can again corrupt the popular understanding
concerning the policy Of tho republican
party. The people arc beginning to under
stand, better than over before, thai
in union there is strength. No nation o
people can exist or retain even semblanco o
power which is divided into factions. NJ
party can succeed except by unity Of purposC
and action. 1t will he q matter not to b,
regretted when the disturbing mountebank
of repubicanism are relegated to the oblivion
of public scorn, as they will be when next th
people speak. Public sentiment Is growing
! more ana ihore III iuNor Vi HarhohS uh'
unity in the party. These CAM only b
achieved by the popular rebuke of the NAL
contents, and this they will receive
Democratic unity is commendable. 1
is tho keynote of successful part,
management. Republicans are not slow t
see this. The people who believe in theprin
ciples of republicanism vastly outnumbc
those who believe in CURTIS, scHURz, an,
reformers of that ilk. They believe in prin
ciplcs but not altogether in men. Rule o
ruin is the policy of newspaper bossism, am
its day of respectability has passed away
Hereafter there will be cohesion and uniso
in the counsels of the republican party, an
success will continue to perch upon its ban
ners.

Tho Massachusetts, senatorship.

It has been made perfectly clear that tho
dispatch sent throughout the country by the
Associated Press on Thursday evening, and
published tho next morning by THE Ma
T1oNAL REPUBLICAN, in common with all
other well regulated newspapers, in which
it was made to appear that Senator
HoAR's recollection was the result of n
forged telegram, was wholly unfounded.
If there has been any provarlcaton IL has
not been among the friends Of Senator HoAR,
nor has he been party TO anything unbe-
coming man of the high character he has
always maintained. His election is vindi-
cation OF the right of a majority to determine
contests within the party. PARTIES like free
governments, must rest upon the fairly
expressed will of the majority. 1t Is
no hardship for tho minority to sub
nit TO being overruled, Su rely party
which cannot thrive under majority rule
would not be likely to do better under an
attempt to subject it to the dictation of n
minority. The democratic party understands
this and acts upon it. Hence the absence of
all irritations in their senatorial contests of
the year. Are the republicans who prevail
in conventions really more hateful to their
brethren who lose than are the common foes
of both? If this were so, then there would
no longer be a republican party. 1t is time
for little less of the destructive tendency of
recent years, and a little more of sense, good
temper, and fair play.

Chicago bter-Oeean,

Senator Pendleton is learning how much
sharper than serpenrs tooth 1t is to have n
thankless party. The democratic conventions for
years have regularly passed resolutions demand
ing civil service reform. Senator Pendleton did
what he could to get 1t for them, and one Of the
leaders Of the party in his state pronounces the
general judgment when he says; "Pendleton is a
dead duck. He has cut his own throat. He can
never again be elected to anything in Ohio"

Mr. GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS says The
REPUBLICAN charged that the civil service
reform commission would sell out the cappoint-
mcnts. This is false. THE REPUBLICAN
made no such charge. When the so.callcd
independent and reform journals were making
the wholesale charge that senator's and con-
gressmcn We're bartcring in clcrkships, TuE
REPUBLICAN intimNted that if such men were
corrupt it might be possible that civil service

MAUD MULLER sat by the cottage door
On an afternoon in May;
Old Towsor dozed on the grassy lawn,
And the kittens were at play.
The sun had given the waving corn
His good might kiss, but still
lie crimsoned the leaves of the tall tree toys
And tinted the distant hill.
The twilight deepened along the road;
The shades of night came down;
Aud through the thickening shadows cam
The poet Of Wooster town,
His hair was long and his legs were short,
His body was fat and round;
His head was shaped like peanut shell,
Ills voice had wheezy sound.
No razor had ever touched his flce,
No water had solled his hands
No style had he-no collar-no tie
No strings in his old brognns.
With airy grace he approached the maid,
And bent the adoring knee.
And then old Towser "sieked" him sore,
Aud old Muller danced with gloe.
And as the dog got in his worl,
The old man sang this song:
"No crank in the land shalt have my Maud
Till the dogs back teeth arc gone"

Not to Hurry Home.


Not to Hurry Home.
CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY, n. V, March
31.-Northern people who have remained
i'll Florida until this time have done
wisely, as the present month has been
about the most severe, and certainly the
most unpleasant and trying to the health.
OF the entire winter. The ground has
been covered with snow, in this section,
during the entire month, with variations
OF temperature covering a latitude of AZ
degrees in the space of four and six hours.
One day it would be warm, melting the
snow with great rapidity, and before the
following morning the temperature would
be at zero, and was Is below at one time
during the month.
At this writing, although the weather
has moderated so as to be quite warm, the
ground is covered with snow and more
is falling. Tourists in Georgia and Flori-
da will do well to make haste slowly as
to their journeying in this direction.
In this region the manufacture of sugar
from the sap of the sugar maple tree is
quite an industry during two or three
weeks OF the early spring. a majority
of farms in the hill country having SUI
gar orchard or ''bush," as it is locally
termed, of from one hundred to five hum
dred trees, from which the owner gener-
ally makes his years supply of |'sweet-
ening." The process begins with the flow
of sap as soon as the weather becomes
warm enough to thaw the ground, which
is generally as early as the first or second
week in March. This year, however, the
cold weather has continued so that sugar
making has just begun, and before the
season is over l will visit one of the large
sugar orchards in this county and write a
description of the manner of maple sugar
making for the News. A. G. p
