The bitterness of the past has es-
tranged the north and south-has
kept up elimination and recrimina.
tion-which is all wrong. The war
has been over almost a quarter of a
century, and if there is any bad
blood remaining it is not felt and
nursed to the same extent at the
south that it is at the north. Our
people are impulsive, warm-hearted
and forgiving, while our northern
neighbOrs are cold hearted and bliz
zardy in their natures-aence, the
"bloody shirt" demonstrations in some
portions OF the north. In the Ian
guage of an exchange, the most Ell
fectual way to blot ont the bitterness,
of the past is for the people of the
two sections to come in daily contaci
with each other. When they do tbi,
they will see that neither are half So

TRUSTS.

The great monopolies of the coun-
try have formed combinations where
by they control not only the output
Of oil, coal, sugar, &C., thereby limit
ing the amount Of consumption, but
regulating by increased price the
commodity itself, choking eff compe-
tition, and putting the consumer at
the mercy of extortion. This is no.
tably true of the Standard Oil Com
pany, the coal trusts" the sugar
trusts" the cotton seed oil "trusts. {"
&c. Why they are denominated
trusts" We cannot surmise unless
they ask you to trust to their gener-
osity and confidence, while they rob
and impose upon you. The laws of
the country should be so shaped ss
to make il crime to corner on arti-
cles of commerce that enter into the
needs of mankind. In place Of pow
erful corporations banding together
to manipulate and regulate the dis
tribut:on and price of any given arti-
Gle, it should be lef. to the legitimate
laws of trade, supply and demand, to
regulate. For man or corporation to
advance the cost of articles in gener-
al use by "cornering" the market, is
to work an injury to the general pub
lie and to arouse hostile feelings that
will declare such man or corpora
ton as no friend to humanity.

He who sits in corner of an old

up to be MIXED will go without milk
all his days. The man who prays.
Give us this day our daily bread"
and tLen sits down to his table wait
ing for the Lord to come to put bread
in his plate will surely starve to
death. And the people who close
their doors, as it were, and expect
prosperity to force an entrance into
their houses, will croak hard times
until the devil claims his dues. You
must go after the COW, if you want
milk. You must work for your
bread, if you wish to eat. And you
must open your doors and invite

come near you. And you must ad
vertse if you want trade.

came back, stopped at an adjoining
house, and attached crepe to the
door. Two days after death actual
ly occurred in that house, and the I'M

scription with the man whom the
lady had seen in her dream.

The speech which Senator ingalls,
delivered in the Senate last week
was clearly intended as bid for the
Presidential nomination Of his party.
Fer the purpose for which it was in
tended it was failure 1t was stu
pid, ill-tempered and in exceedingly
bad taste. His attack upon the
President was not only disrespectful,
but brutal, and his attempt to black
en- the memories of Gems. Hancock
and Mcclellan was so outrageous as
to call out protests from members of
the Grand Army Of the Republic
the very men whose good will his
speech was intended to secure. II
he has received any letters from
Grand Army men, thanking him for
that speech, the public has not heard
of it, but Senator Blackbur who so
successfully and eloquently replied
TO him, has received a good many
such letters, and if he is given a
proper opportunity he will read them
to the Senate.
