THENew York Sun in speaking of the i'm.
mortality of the Democracy says the life of the
Democracy does not depend upon any success
of the hour. Elections may be lost or elections
may be won; wisdom or folly may prevail fol
the time being; delusions may overcome the
minds of men and passion and interest may lead
them astray; but after all political sins have
been committed, and all blunders endured and
punished, the truth of Democracy still shines
untarnished, and the hopes of mankind cluster
around the possibility Of realization. Those
who imagine that the life of the Democratic
party depends upon its fortunes at any particu-
lar time, those who fancy that the failure to
carry an election may disrupt, or disorganize,
or destroy it, are mistaken and deceived. What
party Democracy is the government of the
people by the people and for the people. 1t is
that theory and form of political institutions
which establishes the self-government of CON-
munities and states, and diminishes to the great
est possible extent the domination, the control,
and the interference of the central organized
authority. There are two tendencies in human
nature. CnS Is 10 tue iuCrcdse vi power III gov
eminent, the other to its diminution. The De-
mocracy is the representative and embodiment
of the latter tendency. Those, then, who would
stake the existence of Democracy and the DEM
ocratic party upon local and temporary issues
such as taxes on wool or the excise on whlskey
fail to appreciate its grand and universal ma
ture. Democracy remains after all these mo-
mentary controversies have been fought out and
forgotten. Sc long as there is a republic there
must be a Democratic party. The party of CEN
tralization, bent always on enlarging the sphere
and a%ggrandizing the importance of the central
power, stand out on one side, and the party of
the masses, of liberty and equality, stands on
the other. The fact that the Republicans tri-
nph in one election after another only renders
''nuance of the Democracy more neces-
'ispensabe. In every free com.
rreat need for an opposi-

DR. Koch, the head Of the Berlin Cholera
Commission, who is investigating the disease
in France, reports that the cholera at Toulcn is
Asiatic, from the extreme east. He found the
same microbes there as were found in Egypt
and India. The intestines being the seat of
danger f~amigation is useless. He says the
cholera will reach Germany, and it will go every
where. Having a centre like Toulon it must

D JULY II, 1884.

The business depression all over the coun-
try continues, and very dull times are likely to
prevail all summer. Shops and factories are
shutting down either wholly Or in part, and the
laboring man will find it no easy task to get
along. The prospects of early fall revival are
not at present very reassurmg.

THE appointment Of Mr. Kasson as United
States minister to Germany, to succeed Mr. Sar-

Springfeld.-The game of base ball played
on JAY 4th, between the Alphas, of Springfield,
and the Walpoles, of Walpole, N III, was in
many respects an exceptional one. Although
the score stood II to 0 in favor of Springfield,
the defeat Of the Walpoles can be in no wise
considered a disgrace. The field playing of the
visitors was excellent, the secret of their defeat
lying in the fact that they were utterly unable
to hit the curves of Dillon, who was in his best
| trim. johnson occupied the other end of the
battery, and played a very exceptional game,
| catching out seventeen men and made not one
error during the entire game. WorthySof spe-
| cial mention in the visiting team are Harry
| Newton, who covered first base, and Warren
Colburn, who made several remarkable fly
| catches IN left field. One remarkable point In
the game and one that is not beaten by either
| professional or amateur, was the striking out
by Dillon of three successive men with nine
| pitched balls. Much more might be said in re-
gard to the game, but suffice it to say that the
best of feeling prevailed on the part of both
clubs, and they separated, each expressing the
best of wishes for the others success.
The game between the Young Americas, of
Springfield, and Red Stars, of Bellows Falls,
was fairly won by the latter team, and the
Young Americas deserve much censure for their
dlsgraceful conduct in regard to the decisions of
the umpire, who was disposed to be fair, though
he was evidently not well up In the art of UNI
piring.
AS the citizens of Springfield wish to keep up
what little good reputation the town now has in
regard TO the temperance question, they must
be awake at such times as the 4th of July last.
The amount of beer and liquor brought into
this town on the Sd and 4th inst was appalling
to sober minded men.
Our people have been much interested for the
past week in a model of the famous Strasburg
clock. The model, just one-fifth the size of the
original, has been on exhibition al the town hall
dav and evening for a week. No one who has
an opportunity should fail to see this wonderful
piece of mechanism.
Observation-Disclosures Boynton recently had
another horse gored by a vicious cow.-The
Republicans of this vicinity have decided to
place the name of Hon Justus Dart in nomina-
for congress from this district and delegates to
act in his Interests will be sent from this town.

ii, teacher. Though in session but 8 weeks yet
through the faithfulness and energy of the
teacher aided by a willing spirit on the part of
the scholars good advancement was made by
all and the examination was highly satisfactory
and met the unqualified approval of the COM
mlttee. The scholars names having no mark
against them in the register are Marcus A Grow,
Walter l. Grow, Marion Grow, Geo G Hubbard,
Bessie Hubbard.-The Fourth was observed in
accordance with the program gotten up for the
occasion but owing to other attractions the out
side attendance was small. 7 Col Haskins gave
an interesting address which held the attention
of the people for over an hour.

CHICAGO, April 28.-The state
ment teIegraphed from New York t.
the effect that the tripartite pool has
dissolved is without foundation. The
roads in the alliance remain on ami.
cable terms, and the statement il
made auIhoritativeIy that no differ.
ences have yet arisen which in any
way thre .ten it. The prot difference
between the U0ion Pacific and the
Burlington 1t has since been learned
came very near resulting in an open
declaration OF war. Aftrr the gener-
al conference yesterday it was left to
these two roads to decide upon the
question of local com peL,tlve business
in Nebraska. Pending the signing
of the general contract between the
Burlington and all roads in the
Western Trunk Line Association at
the Boston conference the Union Pa
ciAc agreed to discontinue certain
special rates on Nebraska busin+ ss
that mad been ia vogue on west LOund
business, but discovered 1t to be uu~
sble t., carry out the agreement with
out the consent of its allies east Of
Omahs. For its apl aren't lack of
faith the Burlington officials quit the
conference and negotiations appeared
ct an nd. The Western Trunk
Lines held q meeting at III o'clock
this morning and agreed to abolish
the special rates in question and taKe
rare of all on standing contracts.
Upon this announcement the Bur-
llngt,n renewed its n+g 'tiati"Ds
with the Union PAcific to-day. The
officials of the latter road left for
home to-day in expectation that ne
goJiatlons viii now be pursued to an
amicable ending.

see the project fail, rather than to
