ETA JANE, Sep. S.-Now that the cleo
tions ere over and political exciteme ut prac-
ticslly at an end, our people should go to
work to harmonizo tho different el sments
and obliterate The lines of estranl cement
created by hea'od campaign. The sueral
welfare Of our country depends upon the
harmonious action Of its citizens, and any
man, or set Of men whose auimadver. Mons
will not permit him or them to mako
reasonable sacrifice for the public good are
| obstructionists and dangerous counsellors..
That the fttest has survived We nett her
attempt to affirm nor deny. We are
| say there is not man in the. County Tor
State who bns had his wishes graiified
in every respect but on the contrary has
had to swallow the bitter pill of disappoiut-
ment in some respect. Beyond a doubt us-
fair means hive been praoticed to obtain
votes, but the actors will feel the sting OF
their folly soon enough. Time will set all
things right, sooner or later.
|, There is another idea VIC would like TO see
expunged from the minds of our people,
which has done so much to bring about an
unhappy state Of affairs. That is, the dis.
position on the part of some town aud
country people to make war upon each
others interest They forget that the pros
perity of the one nsures the success OF the
other. But we think we are justihable in
stating that this spirit is cultivated only oy
class of persons whose minds ana lntei.
ligeuce are not frst-class. The normal
state of the public mind is susceptible OF
, abuse, and the further it gets from the
pivotal point Of intelligence and virtue inc
greater is tho centrifugal force OF Ignorance
: and vice. The business interests Of the
: country can't afford to be crippled by such
| narrow-miuded acrimonious wraugling.
