HARD ON POLITICIANS.
Some hot Drained politicians, even
this day of peace, goodwill and enlighten
ment, cannot speak or write upon any
thing but politics in the most humiliating
ana demoralizlng manner, trying 70 leas
up peaceful, philaDthropic BLOOD, ana
make war in days of peace, plenty and hsr-
mony. Such men have yet TO learn the
first principles of good and sound govern
ment. But that old chronic habit IS estao-
lished and they will never take ON any new
ideas in the progressive line. IheV are
men who never advocate anything new or
valuable, whether it be OF the cross or
"crowder." They are not feeders OF the
mind, but firers of the soul.-[Abilene
