IT'S DYING STRUGGLE.
Atlanta Journal.l

Atldl'td OOuA udl.
The republican party evidently 70.
cognizes the fact thata defeat in the
elections of this year will be lis
Waterloo, and for that very reason
its leaders will make, and are max.
lag, the most desperate efforts 10
arouse its adhereDts to their great.
est exertions. Formerly positive
and aggressive party upon national
issues, it is now merely one of opr O.
sitiJn to democratic reforms. I
puts forth no progressive policy OF
its own, but only tries to obstruct
and thwart the democra"y-to pre-.
serve the abuses of its own creation
not because any necessity can be
shown for their continuance, but
simply because they are opposed by
the democrats. eau political party
reasonably hope to obtain a restor>
alton to poSer upon such party
as tn t? Does it deserve the con-
fdence and support OF the people
upon platform" SO negative and
narrow
It's appeal to old sectional pas,
sions and differences is another
proof Of its lack of any matte nal OBJ
jects worthy Of the support 0! the
people. It seeks to live on the
record and issues of the past long
after they have been settled or SUI
perse1ed by living questions of ma
terial importance. 1t would re,kin-
die and perpetuate contests Of Sec
tons and OF races simply as a means
OF regaining political power and
the spoils Of office.
But the recognition of the fact
that it is this year to make life or
death struggle will incite the lead
ers Of the party to their supremest
effort, and they have enlisted on
their side powerful agencies and in-
fuences. Nearly all the great cor,
poratioDs- banking, manufactur-
ing, railroads, etc. interested
in their behalf, and have been APP
pealed to exert themselves for the
promotion Of their own interests.
The democrats must expect such
an opposing concentration Of capi>
tai and business influences az they
have never had to fght before. In
accepting the issue of tariff reduc
ton or high protection, the repubo
licans realized that it would enlist
these great interests on their side,
and they will make the most of the
advantage which such an alliance
gives them. We trust that the
democrats fully estimate its power
and will be aroused to correspond
ing exertions in behalf of the
rights and interests of the great
body of the people.

Georgia's Financial ard Political
Status.
Atlanta Journal

Atlanta Journal
There is a very close relation be
tween them, as is shown hv the sale
OF 81, 5000 of Georgia II per
cent bonds to one New York COM
pany at 104 IA. Tlis negotiation
not only attests the high credit OF
the state in the face of long-contln-
ued and revengeful efforts made by
bankers of that city to dtpreciate
1t (such as refusing to permit the
bonds of the state to be ''listed" 10
the stock exchange but it also man
ifests high appreciation abroad of
the value of stable democratic COWS
eminent in the south. Had there
been any apprehension of sub.ti
tuition of republican government
here, no such bid could have been
obtained. Ibis tact Is clear y in
dictated by contrast of this sale
with the financial standing of those
southern states in which a triumph
Of the republican party is now
thought to be possible the states
in which they propose to make a
vigorous contest this year. These
states are Virginia, North Carols
ma, Tennessee, and Louisiana. The
latest New York reports quote Vir-
2inla Us, 48; Tennessee 5s, 924, to
6s 1O3; North Carolina As 80;
Louisiana Is, 50. The shrewd
bankers who have just taken the
New Georgia bonds will hold them
for an advance, and though they
may not be "listed" ON the ex-
change they cannot be purchased
for less than los or 106. They are
made to mature 500, 900 each year
from 1898 to 1850 that the
bulk of them can hardly be called
long term bonds.
Georgia wasthe first ct the south~
ern states to get rid OF carpet-bag
republican rule, with its extrava>
gance and corruption. and is re-
garded as the most secure against
a return of that rule; and this as
surance is the sheet anchor of her
strong financial standing. Bitter
and irresponsible sectional PARTS
sans may denounce her democracy,
but prudent capital recognizes it as
the reliable basis of safe invest
ments.
Local politicians, or protested re-
formers, who may be entertaining
the idea of overthrowing democrat.
ic rule in Georgia, either by help
ing its republican opponents, or y
causing divisions and diversions
through the agency CT new organi-
zetions or new issues, should con-
slider the great progress made and
the high credit attained under its
democratic administration. In
view of the prostration caused by
the war, and the complications of
the succeeding six OF seven years
OF military and republican govern
ment, the progress of the state, in
material Improvements, in we'll sup
ported public charities ami educa>
tional institutions and in financial
credit, has been most remar able.
To imreril all this aglin by the
overthrow of the party tlat Las
achieved it would be both a blun-
der and a crime. We hope that our
people will bear this in mind when
they are tempted to give aid to any
movement looking to the placing of
the administration of the state in
the bands of any other party.
Governor Gordon's administra-
ton has admirably managed this
important financial transaction. 1t
more than realizes the most sangu.
inc anticipatlons of the legislature
which authorized it, and attests the
good judgement and sagacity ex-

Why Attend Church l.?

and solidify right character and
feed the moral and religious part

to lose the sweeteping and strength

2. 1t helps the minister. Nothing
is more disheartening to MINIS

sense is there in preparing mes

Of any service is often to be laid
to the account of the absent ones
3. A church lives on the devotion
of its friends. Nowhere is this
devotion so plainly seen, as in the
attendance of members on the
Lords day-every one in their
place-and the church reioices in a
consciousness Of strength and vital,
ity, and goes ferth with zeal and
power to all its appointed work.
With half the seats vacant there
comes depression and the church
sinks into inacti"n. A live church
helps the community. The moral
tone of any community depends
largely on It's churches. If the friends
ofthe church will attend, strangers
will be sure to do so.
Representative Mills says of the
Chicago platform; 1T is a very
bold declaration of the policy
of the Republicans They have
put their party for free whisky
rather than for reduction in the
prices Of the necessaries OF life. Il
is the triumph of Kelley and the
Pennsylvania idea over the Repub.
lican idea OF the West and North,
west. The Republican party i.
now thoroughly committed to free
whisky and to free trade in whisky
and against any popular reduction
IN the custom duties for the benefit
of the people. The country knows
exactly where the Republican,
stand. There can be no mistakine
the issue this campaign. We glad
ly accept the declaration of priu-
ciples that has come from Chi
cago."

About forty years ago there was
young lady in Lincoln county
who had two sweethearts, and, not
being able to decide between the
two, she set out two wild locust
bushes in the yard, naming one tor
each of her lovers, and believing
III the old adage, eff he loves me
that bush will grow" and, sac
eOrding to her faith, so it happens
ed unto her" One of the bushes
very soon withered, but the other
hourished; and, in the course of
time, she married the gentleman
for whom the growing bush was
named. They raised a large fami>
ly, who are well known through.
out several counties; and the locust
bush also grew and multiplied. -
Time has laid bare the spot upon
which the old dwelling stood, and
nothing remains to mark the site

length. The lady is a Methodist

man a Baptist minister's brother.

When We left for Montana we under
stood that about 1900 citizens Of Neg
PIERCE county had signed rcmoustrances
against any removal Of the county seat
Of the county, and against any division
Of the county at the present time, and
forwarded those petitions to congress.
These petitions, as VIC understood, were
signed by 800 more than ore halt Of the
citizens Of the county, and We supposed
that the matter was settled for the pres
ent. But when We came back We found
the project Of division Of the county had
been revived and kilograms had been sent
to and fro between this place and Mos
COW and Washington, and it was reported
to US that division was inevitable. We
don't know how the people Of the county
will be pleased with the change Of pro-
grSmme. We hear Of badfai.h among
some to others Of our people. but We
know not the facts, but VIC have come to
the conclusion if the people Of the
county cannot harMoui.e, aud be content
to remain together without continual
wraugle, better 60 apart, while We regret
a division, but if division must come We
will make the best Of it, and hope when
it does take place there will be more
content and each section can manage its
own affairs without muleststion from the
other, even if it does cost the two couu.
ties more than one would to be supported.
There is one thing that house divided
against itself can't long stand, and what
each county retains it can manage and
control without consulting the other.
We hope that 10 case Of division, quar-
rels will cease, and schemers in one
county to take advantages Of the other
will find their occupation gone, and tina,
prosperity will attend both. We have
in years past always been friend to
both sections, and they have treated Us
with courtesy and friendship and w.
hope this feeling will continue.

WASHINGTON, March l6.-Seuator
Dolph has introduced bill to authorize
the construction Of a railway bridge over
the Clearwater river, in Idaho, between
its mouth and the boundary Of the Ncz
Perez reservation; and for the naviga.
ton company to build bridge over
Snake river at Texas Ferry, W. T.
The above indicates an effort on the
part Of some company to construct a rail
road in this section via the Snake and
Clearwater rivers. Bridging ut Texas
would indicate that the Texas grade
which was abandoned in Wizards timc
is likely to be utilized. The bridge over
the Clearwater may be opposite Lewiston
or four OF six miles above.

Right Of Way.

Mr.. A. Watt, right Of way agent for
the o. R. 4 N. company, was 10 the city
last week, for the purpose Of comforting
with our people in regard to the right Of
way for the extension Of their road up to
Lewiston. The suggestion was made
that the citizens Of Lewiston purchase or
secure the right Of way for their road,
west from Lewiston as far as Wa Wa
Wa, about thirty miles, into Washing
ton Territory. conditional, that the com.
pany commence construction within six
months and complete the road from
Riparia to Lewiston within two years.
They also had petition circulated ask.
ing congress to grant franchise for a
bridge across the Snake river and one
across the Clearwater. A large number
OF the citizens sisued the petitions for
the bridges, but they could not see the
propriesy Of Lewiston purchasing the
right Of xaJ 81 settlers 10 Washington
Territory, SO As to block up the marrying
of Snake river for the period Of two
years, before the road should be built.
They seemed to think the company itself
would be better satisfied by securing
their own right Of way. Our people did
not wish to bind themselves to do any.
thing to secure a right Of way tina.
would be barrier to any other company
who might choose to build into this sec
ton, aud thus the matter was dropped
for the present, at least. They wished
to be at liberty to offer advantages to
any company which would afford the best
facilities to this place as we'll as to the
country surrounding. This matter was
discussed in the board Of trade, and the
board Of trade thought it was a matter 10
which all the citizens Of the place should
be heard and have voice; that it was
not addressed to the board Of trade, but
to citizens Of Lewiston.

The remark of bluff Ben Wade to his
friend from Michigan regarding tho
early development Of that state, strikes
us as quite applicable to the condition Of
things on the plateau south Of our city.
The Michigan pioneer was enthusiastic
in his laudatious Of the advantages of his
adopted home and said all they lacked
was water and good society. The scna.
tor rcplied-"Humph! that is all hell
lacks" So it is with our beautiful,
town-site on the plat. We lack water
and good sociaty-or, in fact, any society
whatever. The time will be, and, as we
think, in the near future, when it will
become necessary to occupy this ground,
at least, for the domestic dwellings Of
our citizens. It has the advantages of
being healthy location, commanding an
extensive and glorious view Of both rivers
and their contiguous landscapes. The
soil is richly productive and under the
fertilising power Of irrigation, il adapted
to the cultivation Of all kinds Of garden
vegetables, fruits and flowers. Its situa.
ton is such as to afford, almost, natural
drainage and is free from all the
miasmatical impurities which are COM
mon to many populous towns. 1t is,
also, safely beyond the reach Of river
innundations and safe from the annoy.

ceptible Of useful and captivating sr,i.

taiuly, lacks water and society; but if
good water is provided, the society aud
good society will follow. Good water
may exist in the absence Of society; yet,
wherever you End good healthy society
you viii, also, fiud good water. Good
water is no wctter than bad, but it fur

munity. And if we can associate pure
water with the wholesome and vigorous
atmosphere Of our, upper, town site, we
may, reasonably, expect few deaths in
Lewiston, except from old aye or such
deaths as result from the, usual, antidote
for snake bites. While we are agitating
the question Of a railroad, opening Of
the reservation, &c. &c., let us not be
unmindiul OF the home improvements
essential to our welfare, socially as also
commercially.
