small space in the following paragraph
from the Columbia Herald:
We have not yet seen any intimatiOn
that Ed. holland would become a can
didate for the United States senate.
Yet that is what State Treasurer Qnay,
of Pennsylvania, did after stealing
$3.50 900 from the funds of the state.
And republican legislature elected
him senator.
Editor Church, of the Stockton Jour-
nal, who is an active democrat and
secretary of his county committee,
writes thus wisely concerning an I'M
pOrtant matter:
1t behOoves every democrat, who
truly has the interest of the party al
heart, to consider well the value and
necessity of unity and harmony within
the ranks. Without united and har-
monious effort the democrats of Cedar
can accomplish but little, while with a
solid and undivided front we can
march grandly and triumphantly 10
victory in November. We do not urge
the advantage of united action solely
with the view OF party success alone,
but we urge it earnestly and cOnscien-
tiOusly with the aim and hope of
getting the party united on worthy
and competent men Tor office. In the
selection of nominees for the various
county offices the best qualified, the
most available aud most honorable men
must be put forward. To be successful
xun hot a
the support of the democratic party and
the people generally. This year is no
time for the democrats TO fight and
scramble over the nominations. Let
the honestly expressed will of the party
prevail, and let the defeated candidates
submit to the majority and all work in
harmony for the ticket.

Writing somewhat on the same line,
Editor White has the following strong
editorial in the Warrensburg Journal
Democrat:
There is great deal depending on
the next legislature. The republicans,
encouraged by past gains, are loudly
boasting that they will carry it on joint
ballot, and thus defeat one of the
noblest and grandest advocates of the
cause of the people now in public lite
Hon. Geo. G.. Vest, for re- election, and
send in his place some st. Louis mil
liOnaire money bags to misrepreseni
the people OF the state. They will nm.
doubtedly spend lots of money in this
state during the campaign. This dis
trict, being close. will receive its share
You will be approached by all kinds o
offers to trade votes in the interest o
everything Tor the representative
Democrats should set themselves reso
lutely against all these siren blandish
ments. We can elect everything if W,
stand together, so why put anything il
jeopardy? Let all democrats, then
think over their best men, attend tn,
primaries and get one of them nomi
mated, then stand together on the da
Of election, and the eastern district viii
be redeemed and good government b
endorsed by the vote of the people.

doing nicely and the "old man' hs
again struck his usual attitude and is ,
his desk-ready to receive candidates

Editor Hoag, of the Poplar Blu
Citizen, touches popular chord whe
he writes of the fishing season. An
this is what he says:
AS yet fishing has not been very goo
In Black river There has been an II
clination which prevailed general
among the finny tribe, not to take th
hook readily. Some attribute it
easterly winds, some to the GOODNESS (
the season while others think that Il
fish are not hungry. Whatever Il
cause very few fish have been take
out of Black river the present sprin;
In Little Black fishing is said to
good. A gentlemen passing kreml
mills the other day observed a be
angling near the dam. He got off b
horse, stopped and watched the lit
fellow Il few minutes who was pulliI
them in at the rate of about three
minute, and while he watched him
caught some 20 or 30 fish whose weig
would average from four to ten ounc
each. 1t is said that red horse a
running up Indian Greek now and IN
, the stream is literally full of this XIII
of fish. Old fishermen assert that Ii
will be a good season for fishing lit
later as the streams have been high
