governor. A large majority Of the NJ
are for "Our Bob again The
newspapers are generally a pretty
safe index to public opinion, and
these announcements strongly indi-
cate that Bob's chances tor re-nom-
ination are good. The Bulletin
has declared for Hon. jesse II Or
ment, but if Mr.. Norment viii not
be in the race, then we are wiling
to take Bob. But we honestly be-
lieve that hls mistakes at the begin
ming Of his present administration
viii rise up against him in the race
and perhaps seriously injure his
chances for reelection, And not
only this, but it may lessen the en-
ergy Of the party to that degree as
to seriously impair our chances for
victory. We fell confident that
the Harris democracy entertain a
bitter dislike for Gov. Taylor, and
Will not exert themselves to secure
his reelection. They believe our
governor to be in Senator Harris
way. 4 hard-hit fight Is going to be
made, and the tale VIII soon be told.

THE PRIMARIES.

The Bulletin finds that there is a
general demand on the part of the
people and the candidates for the
Democratic primaries to be held
about the first OF April. The farm
ers favor this period for the reason
that excitement, hindrance, and loss
of time incident to a campaign will
came upon them before they become
engrossed with their crops. The
peopls claim that if the canyass
was made during the months OF
January, February and March,
they would have more time to as
certain the fitness of candidates, to
work for their friends, and CLEAN
the views of candidates on public
ouestions. The candidates could
make appointments to meet the
people at which each aspirant in q
, peech could lay his CLAIMS before
the people, And the farmers tarth'
er claim that they would be freed
from that annoyance and hindrance
to which they are subjected by the
visitations of an army Of ofIice>seeks
ers while they are up to their ears
IN Geld work.
The candidates claim that the
first of April would suit them better,
because they can make their canYass
dnrinp the three first months of the
wear. while the people are at leisure
and will listen TO their vauSus and
studied reasons rs 10 why they
should have the office. Then, all

Ar Issue

1t Is currently reported that an
issue Is to be made in this county
this year on the question of higher
school tax. It's proposed to run
candidates for Justice ct the Peace
who favor a higher tax than we
now have. 1t is believed that the
Iaborlng people and poor people
arc almost solidly in favor Of bet
ter public schools, and an effort
will be made to ascertain their feels
ings. The Wheelers are committed
to better schools and better educa
ton, and it is likely that they viii

re AssEssMENr IAW-

The new assessment law enacted by
the last legislature was intended to
promote the ends Of just dealing

ton. 1t was especially designed to
eqUalize assess ments SO as to make
a great amount Of personal proper

taxation, bear its proper share of

Section 4. Congress shall not

CONGRESSMAN PHELAN's PROPOSED
AMENDMENT.

The Bulletin fails to see the ne
cessty ola proposed amendment
to the Federal Constitution for the
purpose Of granting National aid to
education. Under the Constitution
as it now IS, Congress certainly has
the power to vote aid to the common
schools. The best lawyers and
judges IN the Union admit this.
Former acts Of Congress which
were approved By the Executive and
sanctioned by the courts show clear,
" that congress has the constitu-
uoRal right to appropriate money
in this way. With this light before
us, we can't see why Mr. Phelan
Should attempt to make Federal aid
a constitutional obligation. The
most enthusiastic advocates Of Fed
eral aid have only asked that it
should be given as a temporary re-
lief The South is grooming under
the burdens Of iIhteraey, and her
statesmen have approved the prop
OsIuon as a timely and temporary
help. If the states need such as
sistanco, it ought only sto be given
tor short hme-just long enough
to remove the curse of ignorance
which now prevails am ong the cit
liens of the South.
The Bulletin is unalterably oppos-
ed to interfering with the Consutu-
ton. Let it stand pure and intact,
| 1t is the only safe guard of our gov.
| eminent, our liberties, and cu1
/ homes.
