THE AUDUBON REPUBLICAN.
BY J. E. GRIFFITH.
WHYp

Explanation as to the cause of de-
feat is not in extremely good taste.
Neither do we believe in crying over
split milk. But the recent defeat of
Audubon county republicans is SUBJ
ject worthy of little hard thinking
on the part of the members of the
party; and, it is hoped, will prevent
stumbling blocks in the future.
We do not wish to tell why certain
candidates were defeated. The cause
is plain enough. Nor do we want to
recall the humilitating circumstances
of that defeat. But we do wish to
sound note of warning.
Before the assembling of the county
convention fight was made on ad-
mittedly strong candidates. The op-
position had named candidates who
were acknowledged to be strong men,
and the republicans knew that there
would be fusion on the county ticket
against which their campaign must be
made.
In the county convention candidates
were selected, all good and honorable
men. They made the campaign to the
best of their ability and four of them
suffered defeat. And the question
arises: odd the convention practice
good politics?'
We ask this question with no desire
to cast any imputation on the late can
didates but to bring the matter plainly
before the reader. We are sure every
candidate would rather have been de-
feated personally, than to have the
party defeated.
Another question. Must we not be
united? With the closing of the con-
vention an opposition, that could not
be reconciled, broke out in our own
ranks. 1t was not the opposition of
any one man, or of any set of men, for

quels, the breaking-up process would have
been advanced much further than it is. for
with the cessation of slavery and the advent
OF new industrial and commercial conditions
the Heretofore existing solidarity had to give
way.
New interests were created; the South
reached out into new fields; with reiuvenated
strength it entered into Industrial competition
with the North, and already has succeeded in
wrestling supremacy from the latter in some
important particulars. These new and con-
stantly increasing and diversifying interests
give rise to new political conceptions, and it
is by the force of these that the disintegration
Of the solid South has been begun and must
be continued.
The political division of the people of the
South upon economic issues is as certain as
the rising and setting of the sun, if no reac-
tionary force is employed to stay the process.
Such force the Republicans could and would
supply by attempting legislation such as has
been rumored.
The Washington times., 1894-11-18
THE LONG BRIDGE NUISANCE.

Once more the attention of Congress and
Of the. people Of Washington is invited TO the
danger threatening the city from the Long
Bridge. Mai. Davis. who has charge Of the
Potomac Improvement, states in his annual
report to Gen. Casey that by reason of the
faulty construction OF the piers under the
bridge over the Virginia channel not only is
tho area for a discharge Of freshet water lin
tied. but in case OF an ice gorge the overflow
OF the water front and Of the lower part Of the
CITY through back water in the sewers would
be inevitable.
The Long Bridge has always been more or
less OF a nuisance to Washington. Its faulty
construction has been always source Of com
plant So far as its appearance is concerned
1t has been an eyesore since the very first day
IT was built. All these conditions have be-
come intensified since Washington has be-
come a modern city, and the time is rapidly
approaching when demand will be made for a
structure that shall bear favorable compari-
sons with the bridges which afford entrance
to other great cities, both in the United
States and in other countries.
This, however. IS IN the Iuture- hlSnt now
the people living in Southwest Washington, the
merchants along the south side OF Pennsylvania
avenue. and those on Louisiana avenue,
west Of Ninth street, are in constant danger
from a freshet. Major Davis says in his re-
port that Gin the event Of a freshet occurring
while the river is full of ice the most serious
results are TO be apprehended. and such
contingency is not all unlikely" Gen. Casey,
referring to Major Davis report in his own
report TO Congress, says: In event Of a
freshet occurring when the Potomac River is
full Of ice great damage is to be expected.
In the absence Of that structure which the
future must bring. the present one ought to
be put in such shape that even though it re-
mains nuisance TO the eye, it shall cease TO
be such in less aesthetic but more practical re-
spects. Congress ought to compel the rail-
road company. which is under certain obliga-
tions in this matter, TO do its duty, or else let
the government re-enter into possession Of
the bridge, as it may do under the act Of
June q, 1870. and make such changes as will
remove all danger to property.

TIE LECTURE PLATFORM.

Those who have the habit of lauding other
days and the old times frequently lament the
decadence Of the lecture platform, with what
particular reason we do not know, unless 1t
be that the lecturers Of now are not the lee
turers Of then. This last was inevitable, if
the course Of time be permitted to 90 on, but
az to the matter Of decadence, is there not
possible room for difference OF opinion?
Let an observer Of current intellectual
activities and diversions note, for example,
the popularity of the lecture platform in this
town, where Gu ltured men and women
abound, and where means Of culture Of every
kind are eagerly sought after. Scarcely an
issue Of daily paper does not contain an
nouncement Of lectures here or lectures
there, on a great variety Of topics and by
persons eminently worth hearing. Art,
science. literature. religion, and politics find
their exponents on the lecture platform, and
audience through the spoken word.
There is a charm in the living voice that
will last as long as the voice remains. Cold
lines of type or Photographic reproductions
cannot replace the delight Of hearing from the
lips OF a personality the record Of an experience
or the advocacy Of creed and doctrine. Ne
chanieal presentation falls far below the per-
sonal, and we need not fear that where there
is powe, and charm to command a hearing,
there will ever be lack Of hearers.
1t is really happy state Of affairs that the
lecture is so much in vogue as form OF di-
version and instruction. Who can estimate
the sum total influence of this winters lee
lures for the public good? Social statistics
on this point would demonstrate anew the
large power and wide popularity of the lecture

THE SOLID SOUTH.

Reports are current that among the legisla-
tion TO be enacted by the Republicans when
they are again in power will be something
akin to the force bin, something in the nature
OF the Federal election laws recently wiped
from the statute book. Nothing Of the sort,
OF course, viii be attempted during the Fifty
fourth Congress. for the political complexion
OF the Senate Is not so Overwhelmingly Re
publican as to give such measure assurance
OF passage, and even if it were it would come
10 naught in the White House.
All such predictions, therefore, must have
reference TO a time when both the Legislative
and executive departments of the govern
ment would be controlled by the Repubn-
cans
But at whatever time and under any con-
ditions it is extremely doubtful if the Repub-
Icon leaders-that is, those who are not
blinded by violent partisanship and sectional
preiudice-would consent to commit the
party to such q course. 1t has been the cher
ished hope Of the Republican party to ''break
the solid South, and if there is one thing
that would surely soldify it, it is just such
legislation as that referred TO

HOME RULE DEVELOPED.

There are, it appears, some people in East
Washington who object to the appointment of
aman from West Washington to take charge
OF the branch post-office in that locality.
Evidently the education of East Washing
ton people in the principles Of home rule has
not been neglected. In this instance they
have carried the home rule principle one de-
gree farther than its customary application
they have constructed home rule wheel
within the larger wheel of home rule. Post
master Wilett, they argue, having been ap-
pointed by reason of residence in Washing
ton, his assistants should be appointed with
respect to their residence in the localities
which they serve. This is the home rule idea
pure and simple.
Mr. Willett, when he made the East Wash
ington appointment, was evidently unac-
quainted with the refinement of the home
rule idea which has been developed in the
eastern section of the town.

DR.. SHADES DISCOVERY
For Consumption Investigation Re-
vealing the Truth.
AYoung Man Saved from the Dread Disease
Took Treatment in Time.

The TIMES reporter finds, as further prog
ress fs made in the investigation OF Dr.
Shades discovery for consumption, that many
persons put of taking treatment until the dis
ease has firm hold upon the yitals OF its vie
tim, and until they are in the second or third
stages of consumption. This is mostly the
fault OF the family physician, who has been
possibly making light OF the suggestion of
his patient that consumption may be devel-
oping." The physician is too apt 10 say, "Oh.
no; you have only slight bronchial trouble"
or they will say, 'Oh. no; that blood didn't
come from your lungs, etc." In this way
thousands are deceived until they find they
are doomed to premature grave.
The young man referred TO in this inter-
view consulted Dr. Shade in time to arrest
the developing process that invariably results
in consumption. He was found to be in the
incipient stage, when, DR.. Shade says, 1.-THE
disease yields readily to treatment" So
many people put of consulting reliable
specialist until they have one foot in the
grave already. Then If they do not yield to
treatment their friends say with one ac-
cord, THAT doctor can't cure consumption;
told you So" But if. instead, the consump-
tive is snatched from the jaws OF DEATH as it
were. by the blessing OF God upon the
means used, then they say with one accord
again, ''he did not have consumption; told
you So" Read what this enterprising young
baslneSs man has to say about what was done
for him. L. B. Branson is one of the rising
young men of the District, and is connected
with the Metropolitan Life Insurance Com
pany. In an interview yesterday he
said to me: 81 had been coughing
