| ing the river and harbor bill Mr. Frye
| said: In view of the commerce of the
country, in view Of the commerce of the
great Lakes, in view of the increase in
| the size of vessels and the necessity o1
our increased depth of water he asked
whether $13, 100000 year was an ex.
travagant expenditure for 1854 rivers and
harbors. The State of North Carolina
had been aimed at in the criticism
of the metropolitan press as much as
any part of the United States, because
its distinguished Senator (Mr. Vance
was said to be most persistent and mos
successful in obtaing appropriations, ant
he had some illustrations to give of th'
| effect of internal improvements there
The improvement Of the Roanoke rive
commenced in 1872 and had been extend
ed for 1913 miles. The total expenditure
had been $4,000 and the reduction 0
charges on freight had been between A
and rs per cent. The development O
commerce had become $1O,S00, 900, al
increase of 130 per cent. Did the Sena
tor from Vermont, he asked, think tha
that was mere local Improvement? S

duced between IL and 80 per cent, an
commerce developed to 81, 900, ,0O0-a

IT is now a settled fact that the
Democrats will put a man in the field
at Phillipsburg, July Is. If Mont
gomery had been nominated they
would undoubtedly have endorsed
HIM; but it will now be a three-corn-
cred fight. Dr. Harris of Osborne
county, present receiver of the Kir-
win land Office, is being talked of for
the place, as well as Tully Scott of
Oberlin, and the old war horse, Capt.
Covington of Phillipsburg. The
Doctor is a Northern Democrat, serv-
ed in the Union army, and is a strong
man personally, and would make a
popular candidate for the Bourbons.

THOSE Kansas newspapers which
like the Fort Scott Monitor, are in
sisting that the test of Republican
ism is fidelity to an individual, have
a very narrow and unworthy concep-
ton of the true principles Of Repub-
licanism. Devotion to principles and
not to men IS the proper test of
party fealty, and measured by this
standard The CHAMPION stands to-day
where it has stood for over thirty
years past, in the forefront, among
the opponents of genuine not bogus
Republicanism. - Atcbison Cham

Take any given county where the
subject is discussed, let the first ques-

If this is determined afimativeIy, let
the next question be: Can we secure
the selection Of acceptable men for
party candidates? If both of these
questions are determined favorably,
there is no need of further discussion
The work can and ought to be done
within party lines. If they are de-

yourselves in your own way, to be

The Herald,e Position.


Editors McNay and Montgomery,
the fellows who have crowded them
selves into the leadership of the Re
publican party in this county, and
who are now cracking the party lash
over the HERALD, and all other indie
pendent Republicans, are making
strenuous efforts to create the i'm
preston that the HERALD IS not con
sistent in its position now in taking
the Independent political stand we
have taken. All constant readers of
the HERALD know that ever since it
has been under the present editorial
management it has been Independent
and outspoken politically, and has
over and over again declared that we
stood for the party when the party
went right and opposed the party
when it went wrong. That cur read
ers may see that we started out that
way, we republish an extract from our
Salutatory printed three years ago
last March when we took editorial
control Of the HERALD. We then said:
For myself Individually I desire to
say frankly that while I am now and
always have been a Republican / am
a very dependent One,-nOt I hope a
blind unreasOning bitter partisan, but
a Republican in principle, caring
more for temperance, for justice, for
the rights of the great tOiling masses
and the promotion of all good among
the people than for mere party. When
the party goes right I will commend
and endorse the party. When it goes
wrong / will criticize it. = * /
would have the party remain true to
the great cardinal doctrines prOmul-
gated in the days of Abraham Lin
coin. would have it stand between
the mOnOpOIies and the people, guard
| ing jealousy the rights Of the many
against the encrOachments of the few.
I would have it not content with its
noble achievements in the past, but
would have 1t move forward and take
up and solve the great problems now
| pressing for solution. 1 would have
it the friend Of the working man and
woman rather than of the rich and
pOwerful--a friend of both capital
and labor; and first last and all the
time for maintaining the equality OF
all men land wOmen) before the law.
r. A. DAGUE.
We thus defined our politics over
three years ago when we became edi-
tor of this paper. We often reiterated
those sentiments and never in a single
issue have we withheld our pen from
the advocacy of temperance, of the
rights Of the industralists, the purity
of politics, and the choosing Of gooc
true men for office. Never have WE
failed to denOunce political crooked
ness and unfair party methods.
} The HERALD will stand for thesc
good things in the future and in tn,
coming campaign will have no room
for billingsgate and villifcatiOn 0
men because their views and meth

reforms may not, in all respects, agre
