What win They DO About 1t?


1t remains to be seen what the course Of
the northumberland Democrats VIII
be during the coming Congressional cam
paigns. 1t is OF course to be presumed
that they will attempt to control the party
conventions In all districts In which they
can muster considerable strength, but
there seems 10 be some anxiety TO know
before hand whether they will attempt to
pursue a rule-Or-ruin policy in some
/ parts of the country, and render many
districts doubtful, which have been re-
garded as surely Democratic.
The Republicans are talking boldly
about their intention to capture the next
House Of Representatives, and they are
banking much more heavily on the expect
ed aid aud encouragement of disgruntled
Democrats than on their own strength,
for they cannot claim with any show Of
truth that they have made any actual
gains since the last election. Indeed. it
is certain that they have lost strength,
both in numbers and in morale dur
ing the past eighteen months, and
it may be expected that they
will be further weakened unless they
are solidihed and encouraged by the ex-
treme or radical views and expressions of
those Democrats who follow the party
chiefly from the hope of obtaining share
of the lOaves and fishes.
The Democratic party went through
many years of trial in the refining fur
mace OF adversely. 1t is now passing
through the trial period Of prosperity. In
many instances men who 90 through
periods ofdepression and defeat as heroes,
and patriots, loose their heads, and at
once become intoxicated when prosperity
smiles upon them. The President is not
that sort Of a man. He believes the &C.
knowledged Democratic doctrine of civil
service reform To be founded on principle,
and the manner in which he construes
and maintains it, while it does not please
some, Is, without doubt. according to the
best sentiment of the party and
of the whole country without reference
to party. After all, parties by their
principles, and the acts Of their representa-
tlves appeal TO the country for indorse-
ment and support, and that party that
can with confidence appeal to the most
intelligent, unselhsh and patriotic people
OF the country, is most deserving of sue.
cess, and is almost certain to be entrusted
with power as long as it deserves 10 exer-
else that power.

Heavier the cross. the nearer heaven;
No cross without, no God wlthinl
Death, judgment from the heart are driven,
Amid the wor DIS false glare an din.
Oh. happy he. with all his loss,
Whom God hath set beneath the cross
Heavier the cross, the stronger faith;
The loaded palm strikes deeper root:
The vine juice sweetly ssueth
When men have pressed the clustered fruit ;
And courage grows where dangers come,
Like pearls beneath the salt sea foam.
Heavier the cross. the heartier prayer;
The bruised herbs most fragrant are.
Ifsky and wind we're always fair
The sailor would not watch the star;
And David's psalms had meier been sung
II grief his heart had never wrung.
Heavier the cross. the more aspiring;
From wales we climb TO mountain. crest;
The pilgrim, OF the desert tirlng.
Longs for the Canaan Of his rest
The doye has here no rest IN sight
And to the ark she wings her flight.
Heavier the cross. the easier dying;
Death Is a frlendlier face TO see;
To life's decay one bids defyng.
From life's distress one then is free.
The cross eublmely lifts our faith
To Him who triumphed over death.
Thou Crucihed, the cross l carry,

And lest faint while here | tarry,

That faith, hope. love may flourish there

THERE'S said to be a movement on foot

sections as possible a series of town
meetings, or peoples parliaments Tor the
purpose Of forming public opinion on the
various topics OF the day. 1t appears

nator of the idea. This is unfortunate,
just as the commission is going through
the most critical period OF its existence.
It may be, however, that Mr.. Adams has
hit on a scheme that will greatly increase

is that cheeky fellows who know the

An Improved Mail Service.

The MORNING NEWS has had occasion
several times lately to call attention to
the mail schedule between this city and
points west of Jesup, on the East Tennes-
see, Virginia and Georgia railroad, by
which mails leaving this city in the morn
ing have had to wait at Jesup
until afternoon. 1t takes pleas
ure, therefore, in announcing that
that company will in few days change
its schedule so as not only to give the
people between Jesup and Macon good
mail facilities with this city and connect
with the fast mails from the North,
but also to give fast passenger
trains to upper Georgia and the North
and West. 1t will be seen by the dis
patch published in another column that
the Virginia Springs fast express train
on the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia viii leave Jesup at 8 40 a. m. on
the arrival of the fast mail train leaving
Savannah at 1901 a. M, arriving at Macon
at 2:10 p. M, Atlanta at $3.50 p. M, Rome
at $3.50 p. M, Dalton at $3.50 p. M, and so
on. The new schedule will be a great
advantage not only to Savannah, but to
this entire section.

"Uncle Stead" is what they called shrewd

Stead met LoveiOv in he village one day. ami

NorfoIk,s Ambition.

Norfolk Is talking about becoming the
secOud cotton port in the country. Some
of her enterprising merchants have put
up powerful press-much more power
full, so 1t is alleged, than any that has
yet been built-which enables them to
store much more cotton to the ton in
vessel chan it has been possible hereto
fore to do. Their press reduces the size
OF a bale so much that they are able TO
stow in sailing vessels five bales to the
ton, and they allege that they will soon
construct a press which will enable
them to carry six and a half
bales to the ton in sailing vess els,
and eight bales to the ton in steamships.
Their idea is that they will be able to draw
from 600 to 100000 more bales of cot
ton annually to Norfolk, by Offering cheap
ocean freights, than that port now gets.
They think they will have no trouble, it
seems, in drawing cotton away from Sa-
vannah and Charleston. The probabili-
ties are that this scheme is made more
imposing and attractive on paper than it
is likely to be in actual practice.

The Massachusetts Legislature is wrest-
ling with an lmpracticable scheme for
aiding poor men of that State to build
houses. sit is proposed that the State
shall create a loan of $3.000,O00 which Is
to be distributed among the various build
ing associations at the rate OF 81, 900 each
per month. The advances are not to ex-

corporations are to be formed of % or more
persons in any town or city, who age to
pay an admission fee OF So each, n assess

are to possess the Endorsement of the
town or city in which they are, and the
term carries with it the ordinary business
