The Senate "Conservn tiren. y

So we have new political element in
the democracy as represented in the Sen
ate; conservative" element, made up
of Hill, Murphy, German, Gibson, Brice,
White and Caffrey, And it is said to be
the purpose of these conservatives" to
defeat the new tariff bill, unless it con-
forms TO their requirements.
The name of the element is well chosen.
ITO conserve, " is defined by Webster to
mean, Ito prepare with sugar, etc, for the
purpose of preservation, as fruits, etc"
The conservative, " therefore, is one who
holds that it is good politics to preserve
with sugar the political pull he enjoys
and the political plums he holds and dis
penses
1t is easy enough to see why the sena-
tors from Louisiana are conservatives "
The inducement in their case is literal
sugar, the article of commerce, which
they hope to have taxed for the benefit of
vast interests in their state.
With German, Gibson, and Brice, the
sugar" is of different character. They
desire to strengthen themselves with GER
tain of their constituents, and to that end
are apparently willing to sacrifice the bill,
if needs be; hence, they employ sugar
of tigurative kind with which to sweeten
the palates of their co-workers in the new
clement, aud of other politicians who can
be of service to them.
And SO it is also with Hill and Muir
ply. The two-of-a-kind from New York.
however, are into the CONT ine not only
for the purpose of preserving with
sugar" but for the purpose of enjoy
ing little sugar" themselves Nothing
is more delightful to the senior senator
from New York than opposition to the
administration, and when he can secure
help in blocking the purposes of the ad-
ministration, that fact is as a lump of
cut loaf under his tongue.
Senator Hill, it may be depended upon.
is the chief conserver of the "conserva-
tives." The combination is to Senator
Hills liking. He can use it as a means
to his own nds. He had his sugar pro
perly proportional and apportoined at the
time of the Hornblower and Peckham
considerations, and will continue to dis
pense sugar where it will do the most
good for Hill and his crowd as long
as the people of New York keep him in
public life.
1t would be silly to consider the self
styled conservative element" of the
Senate, made up of the above mentioned
senator's, in any light except the fore

Benefited by Drainage.

The grand jury of the superior court, in
its presentment published yesterday,
makes the statement that lands in Chat
ham county that have been drained by
the county have increased in value at
least 300 per cent. Assuming that this
statement is correct, aud there is no
reason to doubt it is, it furnishes a good
argument for pushing forward the drain
age work as rapidly as possible, and sug-
gests the question whether the undrained
lands within the scope of the proposed
drainage work should not be
taxed for drainage purposes Ac-
cordtng to the statement of the
grand jury The drainage work that the
county IS doing, and which is being paid
for by the county, is making the lands
within the area drained very valuable
No doubt these lands are being taxed in
accordance with their increase in value,
and that is some compensation to the
county for the money spent in draining
them, but would it be unjust to require
the lands yet to be drained to pay part
of the cost of the drainage that makes
them yaluablel
The drainage work is, of course, being
done for the public good aud not for the
beueftof private parties, but it would seem
to be only fair that lands that are to
be so greatly improved by the drainage
work should bear portion of the cost of
that work The land owners are FORUM
ate in having their lands drained at pub
lie expense, and if the benefit they receive
is as greats as stated by the grand jury,
they could well afford to contribute some
thing towards the cost of draining their
lands.

will discredit itself TO Masons. To those
who are not Masons it may te well
enough to say that there are no wi ket

With this end in view, they have resolved that the

shipment is for one hundred pounds or for
a car load. But in of small orders, would
expect every case the cash to accompany the order

make joint and borrow money on them; or they

The editor told the farmer: Don't make
your old mistake
And plant your land with cotton as the
only crop to make -
You'll overdo the business and bring the
prices down,
And next fall come cussin' all through this
pious town!
Diversity your planting-make 'taters,
corn and oats.
Get hogs of fancy breeding and raise some
dandy shoats;
Have chickens, ducks and guineas about
your place to roam,
And thus be Independent by living all at
home"
The farmer eyed the scribbler with glare as
cold as ice,
And said: I've often wanted to give you
some advice.
Why don't you run your paper with all the
latest news?
We folks out in the country don't want
your silly Views
"Give up the patent inside, throw out the
'biler plate
And dish up county doings directly up to
date;
Quit tryin' to teach us farmers the way to
till our loan,
But buckle down to business and print your
sheet at home!''

10 Victis.

I sing the hymn of the conquered, who fell
in the battle of life
The hymn of the wounded, the beaten,
who died overwhelmed in the strife;
Not the jubilant song of the victors, for
whom the resoundng acclaim
OF nations was lifted in chorus, whose
brows wore the chaplet of fame
But the hymn of the low and the humble,
the weary, the broken in heart,
Who strove and who failed, acting bravely
silent and desperate part;
Whose youth bore no flower on its branch
es, whose hopes burned in ashes away,
From whose hands slipped the praise they
had grasped at, who stood at the dying
of day
With the work of their life all around
them, unpitied, unheeded, alone,
With death swooping down DER their fail
ure, and all but their faith overthrow.
While the voice of the world shouts its
chorus, its paen for those who have won;
While the trumpet is sounding triumphant,
and high to the breeze and the sun
Gay banners are waving hands clapping,
and hurrying feet,
Throwing after the laurel-crowned victors-
l stand on the field of defeat,
In the shadow, mongst those who are fall
len, and wounded and dying-and there
Chant requiem low, place my hand on
their pain-knotted brows, breathe a
prayer,
Fold the hand that Is helpless, ana Whisper,
''They only the victory win
Who have fought the good fight and have
vanquished the demon that tempts us
within;
Who have held to their faith unseduced by
the prize that the world holds on high;
Who have dared for high cause to suffer,
resist, fight-if need be, to die"
Speak, History! Who are lfe's victors?
Unroll thy long annals and say
Are they those whom the world called
the victors, who won the success of a
day?
The martyrs or Nero? The Spartans who
fell at Thermopylae's tryst
Or the Persians and XerXes? His judges
or Socrates? PLATE or Christ?
