AMONG ALL the many recent compliments
paid the GAZETTE on the attainment o. its
S9.h year--for all of which it is sincerely
thankful-none was more satisfactory than
that by the Newport Nenrs Commercial, which
said 1.-THE GAZETTE remains vigorous and
brave as ever, attacking the wrong in
friend and foe alike, encouraging the good,
and being ever the champion of liberty and
right, whether on the popular or unpopular
side" Ifell the newspapers in the country
were like the GAZETTE in the latter respect,
the demagogues wouldn't be as influential as
they are now, and the people, individually
as we'll as collectively, would get along
much better.

Democratic Success a National Necessity

The New York Herald, in a lead
ing editorial in answer to a CORES,
dondent touching tie claims of the
two great political parties, says:
'If we really admit it to have been
fortunate that there was republican
party in 1860, VIC as confidently as
sert that its inability to recognize
the entire country since the sur>
render at Appomattox is a national
disaster. The highest political as
well as moral duty of those DAYS
was to fight with all our might; Of
these days is to forgive with all our
might and to forget for the sake of
the future. The party of continued
revenge may hope to regain power
by an appeal to our preiudices and
fears, but the folly of endan 7ering
the peace Of the republic for the
benefit of a few politicians is only
equaled by the crime of leaving an
unsettled quarrel to the next gen
Grafton.
"The success Of the democratic
party is therefore national necess>
ity. Its failure under present cir
cumstances would be a national ca.
lanlity. 1t has fallen into some
grave blunders-why deny it? -
but It's firm faith in the unity of
the country is the salvation of the
country. If it sometimes goes too
far in the right direction we must
still confess that this is better than
going too far in the wrong direc-
ton. In treating the south with
maguanimity, and thus Welding the
the broken bonds of union that is
to last for centuries, it does credit
to the memory of the noble dead
and carries to their legitimate res
suits the victories won by our vet~
Grams. Those died and these fourl
for a union that should be imper-
ishable. If, therefore, republican
sectionalism would destroy the fruits
of their labors, it is fortunate for the
people that the democratic party
has damned up that mad tide Of
hostility and adopted as its policy
No North, No South, No East, No
West, the good OF the whole with.
out prejudice to any,"

Allen G.. Humans career is
full of interesting points. He at
tributes his extraordinary memory
to the fact that he never kept a
scrap book or note book. He reads
French like a Partisan, and one of
his favorite recreations is a French
novel. When he WIS f1y>six
years old he was made a member
of the committee on Mexican
claims AS he knew nothing of
Spanish, this bothered him not a
little at the time, but he at once
went to work and mastered the
language. The busy statesman
who was capable such an achieve
ment at the age of ffty-six is not
likely to show any marked mental
decline at the age Of seventy-fve.
To Mr. Thurman it is the richest
of jokes to be referred to as an old
man. Before the campign is over
he will convince his opponents that
he is prepared to hold his own with
the youngest and most vigorous
champion on the list.

ENLIGHTENED Conscience.

A great portion of all the worst
migcbief, negative and positive,
that ever afflicted the world is trace
able to what people enormously call
conscience, but which is often only
a hateful compound of ignorance,
prejudice, and vindictiveness. The
duty of man is to improve those
faculties which enable him to think
and act correctly. He must make
his conscience coed, enlightened
conscience; then, and then only,
will he be entitled to honor and
credit in acting upon it.

Emperor William of
Germany.
Atlanta Constitution

Atlanta Constitution.
The elevation of youLg William
to the first place in the empire,
bodies no good to Germany or to
Europe. The new ruler is cold
blooded, selfish ard ambitious.
Although he knew that his father
might die at ny moment, he kept
away from his bedside until the
last. Three days ago he had the
heartlessness to spend day at the
races The next Gay he gave a
luncheon to the king of Sweden,
and attended a regimental dinner.
Williams rude treatment of his
mother is well known. He hates
her because she is English, and
sights her in every possible way.
The other day, when he accident
ally cut his band with his knife,
hG watched the dripping blood with
an air Of satisfaction, and said: 81
hope that is English blood |" He
wanted, if possible, to drain his
veins OF every drop.
For years the young man has
devoted himself to the study of
military affairs. He is the idol of
the army, because the soldiers
know he meditates war of aggres-
sion and conquest, and they hope
to see him at their head making
another campaign against the
French.
