THE TWO PARTIES.

The Democrats have control of
the House, but the Republicans have
the Executive and the Senate, con-
sequently the shaping of Legislation
in Congress must be shared BY both
parties. AS to which party shall
attempt unwise and unpopular Leg
islstion is to be seen. We believe
both parties will be prudent and on
their best behavior. The Republi
can party in the past has perpetra
ted enough crimes to arouse the in
dignation of the people and demand
a change. That change is going to
take place at the next Presidential
election. The republican party
must go.
