strawberries, good market sorts, and
in two or three years from the nat

have to do it if you persist in grow

talking about.

IL THE eyes of the Democracy
only could be opened so as to see
its opportunity, what a victory
would be achieved next fall in the
presidential erection. It's opportu-
nifty lies in throwing off every
vestige of sectional influence, and
going into the convention as one
whole made up Of subordinate parts.
1t must teach these parts that they
are subordir ate. 1t must not allow
it's Judgment to be biased by the
clamor of this section on that, or
by this influence or that. 1t must
erect its platform with its principles
for the foundation and, then select a
candidate whose wisdom, statesman
ship and standing will dignity the
platform and seal its declarations to
the common judgment of the country
and the confidence of the people.
The party has too long beer on the
side track OF trying to conciliate
men or elements which were out Of
harmony. 1t should lift itself out
of such an attitude at once and get
on the trunk line of its principles
and faith, and run over and crush
any and all men and elements which
attach to it outside of and out of
sympathy with these essentials.

our position that place-hunters and
political aspirants are by no means
the best material for Office holders
and public servants. 1t wisely re-
marks:
The people should see to it that
their attention is never diverted
from the men who are best qualified
to serve them. Let them turn deaf
ears to the protestations of the place
hunters. As a general thing they
are not the men to do them service.
They are the men who want office
for the living there is In it.
We do think it would be profit.
able departure from the generel rule
for the people to lay their hands up
on suitable piece of timber occa-
slonally, although he might be no
aspirant for office at all This way
Of taking up men and eleyating them
to Office SIMPLY because they run for
office is habit that needs a check
once in while, and often enough to
convince men that 1T requires more
than simple announcement to Sc
cure the public favor, and the emol-
uments Of office, fitness and
ability are the passports to official
station.

The war in Egypt is assuming a
very earnest aspect. England is
convinced that she will have TO
come right down TO business before
she will suppress the rebels. To
read the account of the battles as
contained in the dispatches of last
Monday is like reading of some OF
the desperate and bloody battles in
the late war. The English IN bat
tie with the Arabs on last Friday
whipped them, but they had it to do
at the point OF the bayonetin aihand
to hand fight.

THE Memp his Avalanche speak.

THE Memphis Avalanche speaks
Of Senator Garland as the ablest
lawyer in the Senate.-Gazette.
Senator Garland is accorded a
high position in the public mind and
reflects great credit upon his state,
and if Arkansas is true to herself
she will lay her hands upon the
same grade of qualification in the
person to succeed Senator Walker,
whether that person happens to
aspire to such honors or not. There
is only one thing that stands in the
way of Senator Garland's name be-
ing used in the next National Demo
cratic Convention, and that is
he is from a southern state.

a eENTLrMAN Of this CITY recent

A GENTLEMAN of this city recently
approached us with an important Sc
cret. 1t was that the Democracy
would loose the presidency in the
next election. An ANALYSIS of the
reason however disclosed the fact
that he was a republican and was
talking from the heart and not from
the head. To be sure, what republi-
can can't predict democratic failure
and yet what republican believes it.

The Tacoma Ledger assumes the man
tie of Elijah, aud prophesies that Con-
gress will adjourn without in any man
nsr infringing the rights of the North
ern Pacific TO its land grant or any part
of it," and that shortly after the I'D
iournment Of Congress work will com
mense upon that twenty five miles OF
track from South Prairie eastward"
The Ledger promises 20 frame these
predictions and send them to rs. Do
30, neighbor. Small favors will be
thankfully received. We will give them
a conspicuous place. bot venture to hope
that az they are intended to ornament
the walls of our sanctum the frame may
be more valuable than the contents.
The first is very safe prediction, for
we're Congress 10 declare forfeited every
acre Of land claimed to have been earn
cd by that company by construction of
its railroad since July 4, 1877, 1t would
infringe none of its rights. for the OBJ
vions reason that such rights are non
existent. The second is a guess, which
We hope will prove correct. But send
along the prophecies, charges prepaid.

the SENATORIAL OUTLOOK.

The result OF the recent election in
Oregon is to insure Republican control
Of the United States Senate during the
first half Of the next administration.
The Senate in now pslitically divided
a. follows: Republicans 20, Democrats
36. In the former are included Malone
and Riddleberger. The election of a
Republican Senator in Oregon will
change the figures to Al and So respect
ively-a Republican majority Of six.
In Georgia, Kentucky. Louisiana, Mary
land and Ohio Democrats have already
been elected 10 succeed retiring Sena.
tors Of that party, and the probabilities
are that In Alabama, Arkansas, Florida.
Missouri, North Carolina and South
Carolina like action will be had, al
though Florida and North Carolina may
perhaps be set down as doubtful. Re.
publicans will undoubtedly be elected
In Colorado, Iowa, Kansas. New Hamp.
shire. Pennsylvania and Vermont. As
these States now have Republican Sen
aiors this will net vary the political
complexion Of that body. Seven other
States are TO choose Senators, In two of
which, california and Indiana-ths in
cumbents are Democrats. In both
these States the Legislatures are now
Democratic ON joint ballot, and al
shouRh an election will intervene be-
fore Senators are chosen, il Is not GER
tain that even should these States, IA In
all probability thev will, choose Repub
tican Presidential Electors, that party
will have control of the Legislatures.
Especially 10 this 20 in California, where
the Democrats have 90 4errymandered
In arranging election districts that il
will require almost tidal wave for tha
Republicans TO get majority Of the
Legislature. In Nevada, Connecticut,
New York, Illinois and Wisconsin, SEN |
atorial elections will be held. The Leg
islatures of these States are nov Repub- |
lean, and the probabilities are
that NO change will result from the
election in November. OF these there
are but Two in which there is hardly a |
possibility Of change, towit.: New
York and Nevada. should these both |
elect Democratic Legislatures, and a. a |
consequence Democratic Senators, the |
Republicans would still control the SEN.
ate BY q majority of two. II Ia there.
fsre, ~ We remarked at the outset, an |
established fact that for two years after
the 4th March next the Senate xil, be
Republican.
