REPuBLIcASs are uow hunting up illegal Dem.
ocratic votes cast at the late election. II YOU
know Of any send the names in with full partic.
ulars.-GJournal.
Here is a frank admission, wheth-
or knowingly are unwittingly, that
there were Republicans who voted
Illegally, but if they can find some
Democrats who voted illegally, that
will mitigate the crime. If the
Journal knows of Democrats who
voted Illegally, as it processes to
know, why doesn't it give the infor-
nation to the proper authority and
have those Democrats prosecuted ?
The Journal logic and argument
is that it is all right for a Democrat
to kill a Republican if a Republican
in turn will kill a Democrat.
Does the Journal believe in the
purity of the ballot box? Does it
believe it has done it's duty when it
knows of violations Of the election
laws and it did not report it to the
proper officials?
The Journal is not prompted by
motives to purify the ballot and vim
dictate the law, but it is moved by
the spirit of retaliation. If it was
honest and sincere it would have
had those Democrats yanked up and
prosecuted, but it was willing to let
them go scot free if it would save
Republicans who had voted illegal.
But this is in keeping with the Re
publican party. When the Demo-
Gratis try to hunt down those who
have violated the law, the Republi-
cans place every obstacle they can
in the way. They have preached
for years about ga free ballot and a
fair count" but that is the very
thing the Republican party don't
want. They didn't want a free bal
lot and a fair count in 1876, and
they don't want it to-day. Take
away the blocks Of five and corrup-
ton and there would be nothing left
Of the &. o. p.
Don't forget, Mr.. journal, to have
those Democrats arraigned for vot-
ing ILLEGAL The Apore Mill botr
you. Give us the names and we
will help you to prosecute them, for
a Democrat who would be guilty Of
such q crime is entitled TO member
ship in the Republican party, and
should learn q trade at the expense
Of the State.
"Let no guilty man escape" as
Gen. Grant would remark were ne
living.

OUR good friend of the Journal
thinks we are fIisky and tickle as a
young maiden Of ''sweet sixteen"
who cast ogle and sweet love-me-
quick at every young man she
meets, and all because we presented
the claims of Col. Frank NJ. Huff
man for the Office Of Internal Rev
enue Collector. Our esteemed con
temporary is mistaken. Col. Huff
man has no organ to set forth his
claims upon his party, and the AR
GUS, which is a newspaper even
days in the week, could not deny
the Colonel n hearing. OF curse
the ARGUS claims Mr.. Dawson as its
candidate, and itproposest to espouse
his cause and show up his good quail
tiles and his just claims upon his
party, but at the same time it must
be remembered that the ARGUS can
not be circumscribed and partisan
in this matter. If party fealty and
hard work for a party is to be the
test for Office, undoubtedly Mr.. Daw-
son will receive the appointment.
If vituperation and SANDER Of the
opposite parties is the requisite rec
ommendation, Mr.. Mccormick will
carry off the prize. If being a vet
eran in the late "unpleasantness"
is the quality needed, then Colonel
Huffman will have no trouble to win
the prize. This is the situation as
we analyze it.
The Journal can not deny the
fact that the Republican party has
set itself up as the only friend Of
the soldier, and while the old vete-
ans received more pensions and
better treatment under the Cleye-
land Administration than all former
Republican administration, still the
Republican press and stump orators
tell the soldier that the Democratic
party is an enemy of his, and the
only place he can find balm of Gil
cad is in the Republican party.
Why then, should a good Repub-
lican kick or object when a veteran
presents himself for Office?

For the first time in many years
the ARGUS dons a splendid new
frock and takes her place with other
papers who represent the progress
sive portion Of newspaperdom of the
State. While outfit is not as full as
We would wish, still what we have
is of the very best and latest, and
enables us not only to look neat and
tidy but also prepares us to meet the
wants of our patrons fully, either in
advertising or job work. To our
neat appearance we are indebted to
John Mengel & Co., type founders,
Of Baltimore, who furnished us our
new material, and who aided us in
our selections. The firm of whom
we bought our type is a new firm
who have gained their high standing
among the type founders of the
country and the purchasing world
by their honorable dealings with
their patrons and the first-class ma
terial used by them. Those buying
of John Mengel & Co., III Il. Ger
man street, Baltimore, will never re-
greet that they gave them their or
ders.

OUR worthy Superintendent, b.
NJ. Squires, in his annual report,
says: "The minimum term of
school ought to be six months, and
| am certain our people would as
willingly bear the additional expense
as they do what is now expended for
schools, is we had two years of a
trial on a longer term"
The ARGUS would raise Brother
Squires three months. We are not
only in favor of it, but we believe
we ought to have nine months of
school.

next week: Carbohydrates more
dry than wet, unless it rains !; in
which event we will have falling
weather.
Tuesday and Wednesday-Will be
what would reasonably be expected

course, to cyclones, in which event
we may have snow.
Thursday-Will depend entirely
on Wednesdays blizzard. Should
it not reach us. there will probably

Friday-The atmospheric conden-

A NOTABLE feature Of the debate
In the House attendant upon the
reference of the Senate tariff bill to
committee, was the speech Of Mr..
Mckinley, of Ohio, who is believed
to represent the views Of Gen. Har-
rison. lie made an appeal to the
Democrats to relieve the present sit
uation by agreeing to some sort Of
a compromise which will reduce the
treasury surplus by thirty or forty
millions of dollars. What effect
this appeal will have is Of course a
matter Of conjecture, but there are
many Democrats who believe that a
compromise will be agreed to. If
an agreement ia reached it is prob
able that the most Of the reduction
viii come from the internal revenue.

HUSBANDS NOT POLITE,

A friend was spending the day
with me the other day, and while she
was here our pastor called, says a
writer of the Atlanta Constitution. 4
After he left the friend said:
did you ever notice with what
respect Mr.. Conrad speaks of his
wife, and how courteously he treats
her at all times?" | nodded assent,
and my friend went on:
4 suppose my husband is as good Z
man as ever lived, but his mother
did not train him to be courteous to
ladies. His sisters were his slaves,
and thereby he is a spoiled husband.
| wish | could train several hundred
boys to be husbands for the next
generation. Do you suppose they
consider it their prerogative to drive
the girls out Of the easiest chair, take
the sunniest corner Of the room, the :
best place by the light, throw books,
papers or slippers down for some one
to put away, grow up with the idea
that a wife must be valet and the
rest Of the household stand respect
fully by to obey orders? You smile,
but this is anything but subject to
laugh over.
q really believe that husbands
never think how their unkind words
hurt. They don't realize the differ
ence to us, for instance, in their
manner when they come to dinner.
All day the wife has been alone with
the children and servants, and IS
more hungry for a kind word from
her husband than an Epicurean feast.
He comes in just as dinner-bell rings. :
For a wonder, dinner is once ready
on time, the husband says. Couldn't
he have saved the heart stab, by say
ing:
"'That's a pleasant sound to a
hungry fellow" and what hinders him
from adding, what would be the milk
and honey to weary soul all the
rest of the day-nay, all the rest of
her lite-'You are good wife, Cor
nelia?' And if dinner is not quite
ready why need he say, of course
not; never is!' in working notices
for the home why hasn't some one
taken Wesley's remark: I'D as soon
swear as fret instead of hanging up
1 Need Thee Every Hour
when | think | have hard time
| just think of the women who have
no servants, but who themselves care
for the children, wash, iron, cook,
mend, churn, milk, carry wood and
water, all for less than an Irish SER
want girls wages. Of course, men
appreciate their wives; of course they
do, but they keep their polite man
ners and courteous ways for-other
mems wives. One time James thank
ed me for saving him room beside
me at the concert. and then sort of
apologized for being polite by saying
he thought it was my sister Mary.
