to Plumley, Jordan or McDill would be
to concede to n of the factions; to give
it to Alfred would produce little acri-

THE TWO WAYS.

The tints upon life's horfizon are large
ly reflex of the minds eve, made brigll,
Or somber as the individuals inclination
to cheer or sorrow dictates. The circum.
stances and conditions which affect differ
ent persons id different ways is ample evi.
dence that there ire two ways Of taking
nearly everything. One is the cheerful
the other the gloomy way.
In recording current topics, nearly all
ne 'spapers are inclined to take the most
pleasant and cheerful view Of things, es.
pecially as regards local affairs. But in
doing Sd We come In conflict with small
class Of people Who declare papers are uu
truthful, because hey themselves are pes
simistic in their views, hence decline to
accept anything as truth unless it sayors
of the satirical. gloomy and Improbable
forebodiHgs OF n disappointed and dis j..
satisfied mind.
But notwithstanding this we are much
inclined to the belief that even the pessi-
mist himself would be horrified should
his local paper accept and voice his
gloomy construction placed upon every
incident within its sphere. And it is alb
eolutely certain should newspaper con-
tain the same sore headed calamity roar

MACHINES WON'T GO.

Letchef Biade.--It is useless TO deny
that the politics OF this state, IN the re-
publican party as well as in all Others, has
been rapidly approaching the machine
order and il is folly to allow that state
of things to continue. The campaign
which resulted in the election Of Senator
Pettigrew wear ago last winter, the state
convention at Mitchell last fall, and the
struggle for the election Of U. s. sena.
tor last winter are all instances in which
the party action was shaped by too mar
row circle.
There is no one man. nor any hall
dozen men, in the state whose wisdom Is
so far superior to that Of others as to war
rant him or them in assuming the right to
dictate to the party. There is no one man
Ior any half dozen men. in the state whose
past services entitle him or them TO any
further personal loyalty II the interest oil
the party prompts different course. The
time has come when everything that looks
like machine in the republican party
should be broken when dictation from
any man. or set Of men, should no longer
be tolerated when all eyes should be
turned to the highest Interest Of the peo'
pie, which means ths highest interest OF
the party, aud not 10 the personal iDteres'
Of any individual.
