admonitions to the President, to his
Cabinet and 20 his majority party in
both branches of Congress. They moan
that revolutionary Government ended
with the necessities Of war years ago,
and that no party can return to IL With

taxes in time of peace, for the benefit OF
select classes, will be overwhelmingly
resented by the masses, and they mean
that National prohigacy must give way

Instead of having rhetoricals In the
old, dry way, the students in the
High School have organized two lit
erary societies which give programs
every alternate week. The girls coll
duct one of these societies, the "Cli-

"Qui Vive." Last Wednesday these
societies held contest and Miss
Sadie Reimert, Mr.. NJ. p. Jacoby and
Mr.. &. +. Scott were called in as
Judges. The program was exeeedingi

If an lola druggist, for example. adj
vertises largely and attracts customers
here to buy drugssof him, those Gus
toners are likely also to patronize lola
grocers and dry-gOods men and deal
ers i'm all other lines of goods, so all
branches of trade are helped by the
dfdggiss's advertisement. The same
thing happens If a dealer in any other
line advertises largely and draws out
side trade. Any embarrassment, while
bringing the most direct benefit to- the
advertiser, yet helps the tradeCof the
whole town. This being the case is ID

We have been iHquiring into the
matter of the alleged nomination Of
township officers by Deer Creek Lodge
F. NJ. B. A, and the best evidence we
can get is to the effect that the nomi-
nations were not made during the
session of the Lodge, with closed
doors, but were made in. the Lodge
room after the session closed. This
being the truth We gladly state il,
both in justice to the Lodge and TO
our correspondent. Members of the
Lodge will doubtless concede that it
was indiscreet, at least, in the Peoples
party to hold their caucus at such a
time and place, while our correspond
ent may easily have failed to note the
distinction her informant may have
had in his mind between nominations
made i'm the Lodge room and nomi-
nations made in the Lodge. With
this statement of the case it seems to
US that both parties to the controversy
should be willing to let the matter
drop, as the general public are web
satisfied that no very serious crime
was committed on either hand. - d

In each instance the finding of the
committee was based on indisputable
evidence, and was made only after the
most careful examination. So palpable
were the evidences of fraud that even
the Democratic members of the commit
tee admitted the presence of fraud, and
the only point on which there was diff
ference was sn the degree. The majori-
ity report finds clear majority of 1887
in favor of McDuffie, while the minori-
ty, though conceding the existence of
1900 fraudulent votes, through lack of
moral courage, still insists that Turpin
has a majority of 1900. There is abso-
lutely no ground for the claim set up by
the minority, but still the concessions
made by it teaches its own lesson. This
is the way the election was conducted
in one district, and is true reflex of the
method pursued in four-fifths of the
other districts in the South. McDuffie

1t adds another clinched argument to
the many reasons for the necessity of
National election law and, as another
example of the fragrant outrages perpe-
trated on the will of the people, will
hasten the the downfall of the regime
now in power in the South which up
holds as just the usurpation of the in
herent rights of all the people renders
the rights of the many subservient to
the demands of the few. In this day
such damnable perversions of justice
cannot long exist, and the South will
suffer on account of them in the same
degree that she has triumphed in per-
petuating them until now.
