BE CAREFUL, GENTLEMEN

1t is very evident that for several place;
on the Democratic ticket in this county
this fall there will be number of Candi
dates. The candidates are already making
preparations to present their claims to the
Democratic voters and stirring their friend:
up to Jealous activity. This in itself is
neither matter of regret nor a cause of
alarm. If the preliminary canyassing is
done in perfect spirit of fairness and with
the utmost good feeling, no possible harm
can be wrought but If, on the other hand
such methods are not followed, the ticket
naLed must be UNNECESSARILY weakened
by the ante convention contest of the Candi-
dates for nomination.

1T NEEDS REFORMING.

No more lnopportune time could hav,
been chosen for quoting by Andrew Carne
gle in his new work, Triumphant De
mocracy," Lord Salisbury remarks: The
Americans have a senate wish we haC
one-maryellous in its strength and eff
ticiency'-than the present. The reason
why is not hard to find CT difficult to I'm
derstand. The recent unwise and unneces
sary warfare waged by majority of the
senate on the President has caused the
people of this country to wonder just what
particular benefit is wrought by legisla
tive body constituted and elected as is the
present senate of the United States.
When the upper house of congress was
originated it was in the hope and with the
purpose of placing a check upon hasty and
illconsidered acts Of the lower house and
of the President. 1t was intended as an
aid TO really beneficial legislation and &c
better protect the true interests of the PEG
pie; and as an additional safeguard, II was
provided that the members Of it should be
chosen by the members of the state legisla
latures and moi. directly elected by the PEG
pie. The exhibition made throughout the
past months by the opposition members OF
the senate has demonstrated the end de
sired by its creation has not been success
fully attained, and that instead of being at
all times an aid to public business, it is in
many instances positive hlndrance. The
affairs of congress have too often been Sc
riously deferred by the policy that this body
has pursued and needful legislation ne

confirmation was necessary requisite to q
proper discharge of public duties, have
been allowed TO go unconfrmed by a wrang.
ling senate, animated by no higher motive
than personal political profit, fearless
of having TO render an accounting directly
to the people. Largely this indifference
to the interests and the wishes of the peo
pie is TO be found in the present method
of electing the members of the upper
house at Washington. The whole tendency
of the plan now provided by the constitu
ton is to make senators more and more
Independent Of the voters who do not par.
ticipate directly In their election. This in
itself is an evil that ought TO be abolished

A NEEDLESS QUARREL.

1t may be that the reports that have been
circulated for the past months relative to
the war that is being carried on between
the pine tree" statesman and the glacial

rated, but that the best of feeling does not
exist between MI. Blaine and Senator Ed.
munds is apparent. Whatever the Yer
monter wishes done the gentleman demurs
to, and what the gentleman from Maine
thinks wise craftsmanship the senator from
Vermont looks upon as sheer folly. So
bitter has become the conflict between
these New England knight errants, who
should be the best of friends, that on every
political battle field they seek out each
other for mortal combat. Sir Knight
Blaine, not content with aSsaulting the
Green Mountain" warrior on the floors of
congress and in republican national con,
ventions, is now seeking a meeting with
him within the boundary of his own terri
tory, BY every act within his power he
has determined to prevent the return Of
Edmunds to the United States senate by
the next legislature that is elected in Yer.
mont His agents are to be found every
where in the state, and every method is
being employed to make the states politi.
cal atmosphere uncomfortably cool even
for one of Edmunds' fIigidity Of being.
The cause of all this difficulty is to be
found in their failing to agree as to their
own honesty. The sanity Edmunds in
the past has been free to express himself
in uncomplimentary terms of the mag
netic" publcist from Maine, and the
Maine man has not been backward about
stating that Mr. Edmunds will bear good
deal Of watching. Failing to agree on this
very essential point they have Joined issue
in battle, and the people of the nation await
with bated breath the outcome.
That so much discord should exist in the
republican household of New England is
distressing even to democrats, who, though
opposed in principle to the teachings of
the party for whose leadership these gen
tlemen are striving, dislike to see the party
disrupted through quarrel over that
which in a large measure is stranger to
both Of them.

General Black from services upon the

Mr.. Fifer in his eagernesS to display a
facility of expression and an ability to

which is the only point at issue in his case.
He does not seem to perceive that no at

increase of his pension rating, and in con

1t is certain that until the letter of the

enough and was drawing the pension he
was entitled to, Take into consideration
the fact that Mr.. Fifer rendered very ma.

United States senate and that until Com.
missioner Dudley received letter from
the latter, no increase was allowed, or
thought just and due, and couple with it
the additional one, that no medical board
though he was examined by several, ever
recommended the rating for Mr.. Fifer

by Commissioner Dudley, and the average
mind must draw the conclusion that the
Fifer pension was granted irregularly, and
that the irregularity involved in il some

that has elapsed since the late contest the
character and history Of Mr. Biaine's career

people distrusted him. The people did
