sion laws of the United States. Did
the pension system originate in a de-
sire to reward men for: their honest
and earnest endeavor to produce those
things which make life a pleasant ex'
istence, or for deeds of heroism in the
cause of humanity ? The very ques'
tion brings derisive smile. The man
who first tanned horse and straddled
him, and by making that animal obed'
lent to his will was enabled to easily
overtake the weak, or to quickly escape
from the strong, was perhaps the first
real king and If his history could bt
resurrected, doubtless it would bt
found that be originated the pension
system. He first sent men to kill biz
fellow men, for other gains than tnat
of food. Some of the men first sent
while they escaped with their lives,
came back to their king wounded and
helpless; and the king, finding Grip.
pied men useless to him, turned them
out, to be either starved or be killed.
Perhaps he even killed them himself.
But this "Man on Horseback" dis.
covered that his strong and athletic
hunters were greatly discouraged by
the treatment bestowed upon those
helpless wounded ones. They ceased
to be SO valiant, and some even escaped
to the mountains and swamps. He
drew the lesson from this, that il he
wanted to extend his dominion, or even
maintain his authority over those
whom he had already made bis sub
jects, and who trusted him TO protect
them against common enemy, 1t
would be necessary to devise some
attractive methods of drawing closer
band around him and his fighting men.
He doubtless guaranteed to them u
home, care, and comforts, should they
be wounded in his service. His caves
should protect them against the storms
aud against their enemies, and he
would command the others to feed
them and keep them warm. Thus, in
manner, if not in fact, the pension
system began. II originated in the in
terests of the powerful but selfish few,
and in opposition to the interests of
the many. And as it began SO it has
even to this time and in
this country.
God has been worshiped in many
theologies conflicting dogmas have
been invented to proclaim his at
tributes civilization has undergone
g great changes; justice has assumed
various forms. But the pension system
has practically never changed since
first it began. It was originated pri-
marily to encourage men to kill the
enemy of the king. 1t has never been
used to encourage men to promote hap
piness. 1t was organized in the inter-
ests of war. 1t has always been OPP
posed to peace. 1t is ever in the in
Lerest of the classes and against the
masses.-The Standard.

"
THE plea of the Republican party,
or rather Of the leaders of that party,
that they should be continued in power
in this county is not founded upon any
reasonable ground. The representa-
tives Of that party do not represent the
Taxpayers of the county, they do not
represent the great majority of the
intelligent people Of the county. In
most cases, and particularly so in the
two lower Hundreds, the present Levy
Court Commissioners were nominated
by negro votes and would not give up
the prize though requested so to do,
even to crafty the wishes of Senator
Higgins, much less to accept govern
ment positions at Washington. The
Commissioner from this Hundred has
shown capability and business qualifi-
cations which were already well-known
among his neighbors. He is the only
Republican in the Levy Court who has
any claim upon the people, and that
claim has been neutralized by the fact
that he has been called upon, because
Of the incompetencylof his Republican
colleagues, to carry out all of the
political measures forced upon the
Levy Court by nest of political par
asites.
The county was in bad shape, finan-
cially, owing to the abortive operation
of law which was really obsolete, SO
far as any good to be derived there.
from was concerned. A Democratic
Legislature actuated by the Demo-
Gratis of this county enacted a law
which has not yet been in operation
one year, and which has been subjected
to serious disadvantage by the actions
of the Levy Court, jet the present
very satisfactory financial condition of
the county proves its effectiveness.
The Republicans protested against the |
passage of this law, thus showing the
opposition to real reform existing |
within that party. No reforms have
been instituted by them during the
time they have held power. They have
fallen into the hands of an unscrupu-
lous lot of irresponsible political hang
ers-on, and have thereby proven the
fact that the government of the
county cannot be safely entrusted to
their care for any length of time.
There is but one safe thing to do and
that is to elect more Democrats than
Republicans to the Levy Court. Here
in lies the responsibility of the Demo-
cratic party. Good men must be nom-
mated and elected. The Taxpayers
demand good county government the
way TO secure it is to attend the pri-
mary elections and see that good men
are nominated. The people will do the
rest

made on our Dress Silks that

the throngs of buyers and why
the sales show handsome per

of Silks for Full Dress Even
