Whether It Will ever be. subsequent
events will prove.
In a Monarchial farm of govern
,nent the reins of government can
not be too loose, consistent with
monarchy, the reverse is the
case with the Republican form.
We are inclined to the
opinion that the Senate will stand
for many years to come as part of the
Legislative branch of our government
and as monument to the wisdom OF
the trainers Of the constitution.

Manufacturing Interests.

Tampa, Fla, has been working
patiently to secure the location of a
number of factories in that city, and
it would seem that its efforts have
not been without success. Within
the last two months more than four
thousand people have been added to
it's population Courier-Joaamal.
This is an example which should
lend encouragement to all South
ern towns imbued with the spirit of
industrial and manufacturing prog
ress. 1t is fatal error to suppose
that coal mines and iron furnaces can
of themselves build up a large COM
mercial center. The only direct
benefit they can lend to a community
is to add to the values of adjacent
property and to, perhaps, increase
banking wealth and banking facili-
ties. The principal benefit to be de-
rived from them, must necessarily re-
suit indirectly. Mines and furnaces,
as a rule, have their own commissa-
ry, and from it their employees are
almost compelled to buy. Tie profits
resulting from such sales necessarily
revert to the corporations operating
these plants. But when it is demon
strated that such raw materials as
coal and iron can be mined and
utilized upon a practical and
paying basis at given point, it is
then that the manufactures will turn
his attention to and seek that place as
an advantageous situation in which

population and general wealth. There
is IN no community q more valuable
class Of citizens than the mechanic.

Modern Journalism.

we confess 10 having cHJoyeu IHS
tart reply of the Bristol Courier to
the Neus, in a recent issue, in re-
gard to discussing the national is
sues. The Courier certainly can
claim frankness as enc of its virtues.
The Posi- does not agree with the
esteemed Courier that the size of the
town in which paper is published,
it's mechanical superiority or inferi-
ority, whether the readers are good,
bad or Indifferent, should prevent a
newspaper from instructing the COM
munity in which it lives. a paper
that caters to a depraved taste, or
that lowers it's standard one iota to
the level of inferiority, can never hope
to be anything but mediocre. The
Posr is rather inclined to the opin-
ion of the Ne,cs, that home. paper
is nearer to the people than the met
ripolitan dailieS and should exert a
greater influence in proportion. 1t
does not make any difference wheth-
er daily is published in a small
town or a weekly in small commu-
nifty it exercises certain amount OF
influence and that influence should
be exerted for the betterment of that
community.
1t does seem that journalism OF
today is in it's decadence. In the
time of John NJ. Daniels and the
writer's after the peculiar school he
inaugurated it was the province Of
the newspaper to instruct through
the editorial columns Everything
was written in clear and studf-
ed style, evincing much labor in
preparation. When measure be-
fore the people was thought fit sub
| iect for condemnation it was con-
demned with all the verbaseness sar-
casm satire and invective could COM
mand, and it's effect was widely felt.
The modern newspaper seeks the
sensational and serves it up in a style
to suit the most refined and vulg gar
tastes. 1t caters to public feelings
and sympathies-has no definite pol
les, rides on the rising and falling of
the pulse Of the nation. There are
some journals that do not do this,
and whose influence is mighty
power in the land. They occupy the
same proud position that the man Of
character and will power does. Hav-
ing definite opinions OF his own he
never degrades his intelligence by
quietly acquiescing in the clamor of
those who having no character or
we'll settled principles continually
how to every little ripple in public
affairs. Like the sturdy oak in the
forest by the side of a small sapling
is the journal that holds aloof from
advocating anything that is not die.
tated by mature judgment, and that
ever dares to maintain right and d e.
lnounce wrong.

Tho Recent Election.


A word concerning the recent cleo
ton. We have naught to adj
vance against our newly elected may
or or the members of the town coun-
Gil. We suppose they are gentle
men fully capable Of conducting our
municipal affairs upon an honest and
intelligent basis. We are not so mar
row as to refuse to admit that in the
Republican party there are men who
are as honest and as intelligent as in
the ranks of Democracy, and it is a
matter of fair presumption that they
have the interests O. our community
as much and as sincerely at heart as
is the case with our party. But the
fact to which we desire to call atten-
ton is that our recent contest re-
suited in decisive Republican victo-
nv. That this was attributable to
Republican organization and Demo
cratic organization is truth SO
plain to all conversant with the de
tails of. the result, that it hardly
needs the telling. The Posi- assum
ed the position in the very outset OF
the municipal canvass that it was
the duty of the Democrats to meet
together in convention, place a
straight Democratic ticket in the
field and back it with thorough,
harmonious, vigorous organization
At meeting of the Ayers Democrat
ic Club, called to consider this mat
ter, the contrary idea, viz; a non
partizan compaign-prevailed. The
Posi- called attention at the time to
some of the ludicrous arguments adj
vanced by those who favored Demo
cratic inaction. 1t is scarcely neces-
sary to repeat thom now. Suffice it
to say that the Ayers Democratic
Club in meeting assembled deemed it
unwise to inject politics into the can
vass, and it was freely predicted by
all friends of this policy that such
action would only rebound to the
good of the party. 1t now appears
that relying largely upon Democrat
ic apathy, our Republican friends did
what the Democrats refused to do.
They determined that the city gov
eminent should be controlled by those
in full sympathy with their faith
They organized, and as resultant eff
feet, we are informed that ballot af-
ter ballot was shot in, having upon
them four names of good Republi-
cans, they being met only by scat
tering votes of the Democrats, whose
status in the campaign was like
sheep without a SHEPPARD, a party
without leaders or organization.
The wisdom Of the PosT's position
has been thoroughly vindicated. The
result is not without humiliatlng
features, but it conveys lesson of
such valuable moment to Democrats
that we believe it will eventually re-
act to our party's good. 1t should,
when reduced to logical analysis,
teach our leaders-and our rank and
file-that Democratic success lies
only through and by-open, fearles,
aggressive and organized party work.

Election Returns.

The Dispatch has made excellent ar
rangements for the prompt receipt and
display tonight OF election returns. we
Expect to give the news from Virginia
and New York. and from all States
where the contests are interesting. as
early as it can be given anywhere in
this country.
Our returns will be thrown upon cam
vas spread upon the front Of the Lexing-
ton Hotel, which Is Immediately opposite
the Dispatch office. and for this purpose
we have provided ourselves with a pow
erful electric self-feeding lantern. which
will be operated from the third floor or
our building. That the public is invited
to this exhibition we need scarcely say;
the exhibition Is for the public beneiit.
The polls do not close in Virginia until
shutdown, and with the utmost expedi-
ton 1t will take some hours to canvass
the votes cast, but we shall endeavor 10
entertain the crowd with views, por-
traits, etc., until the returns begin to
ome in.

feels this morning as II he would like
to cast his vote for David b. Hill. Espe-
cially should this feeling pervade the
breasts OF the Democrats of the South.
1t was Hill that rendered 1t possible for
the present Congress to repeal the Fed
eral election-laws. 1t was Hill that
took the reins Of power away from the
Republicans OF New York State. II was
Hill that paved the way to the posi-
biiity which now exists OF having the
elections of United States senators put
into the hands Of the people themselves.
So much for the past. And as to the
future, we may say that Hill, IL any
body, will be entitled to the credit OF
defeating the attempt to gerrymander
New York in the interest Of the Repub-
Ilcan party, and thus defeating the eff
- tr1l af
Government once for all into the hands
Of the Republican party. 1t Will be
Hill, too. IL anybody, that will knife
the scheme to put the Democratic ma
jority in the State Of New York under
the feet of the Republican minority,
there to be trampled into the dust.
BY the way, here is one OF Hills latest
utterances. 1t is worthy OF the man
and the occasion. He said:
personal considerations should not in
fuence any eector this fall, but he
should remember that the life. the well
fare, the prosperity, and the future OF
the party are at stake"
We say, then. go to the polls and vote
for the Democratic nominees for the
House Of Representatives. They are
good men and true. They will be faith
full representatives Of their constituents.
DO not listen to the croakers who say
that the tariff fight Is to go on and the
business interests OF the country to be
again paralyzed. Oh. no. The Demo-
cratic candidates will be glad to be rid
Of the nuisance. Of talking tarin 10
the voters. and the Democratic voters
will be glad of course, to listen to our
speakers who explain to them how FAR
the new tariff Is superior to the Mckin"
ley tariff; but the fact that the new tar
iff is so much better than the Mckinley
tariff puts the burden of agitating for
a new tariff upon the Republican party
and frees the Democrats from any op-
legation to make general revision OF
the tariff.

Governor OFerrall concluded his work
in this campaign last night with speech
addressed to the people of Manchester. by
whom he was received with great warmth.
The Governor has done his duty very man.
fully in this campaign as In every cam
paign since he entered public life. In ac-
cepting appointments to speak he has not
chosen the most popular and convenient
places, but places where 1t was probable
he could do the most good. Thus he has
visited many remote counties; thus he has
willingly subjected himself to the tedium
and fatigues Of travel. His itinerary had
in 1t nothing of the luxury Of Governor
Flowers, who went over the State OF New
York In a special train Of palace-cars.
stopping OF course, only at railroad towns.
In filing n number OF his appointments
our Governor had to ride from thirty to
forty miles a day on horseback or in
private conveyances.
II we carry the State triumphantly the
public will accord to the Governor large
share of credit for that result. II we fall
short Of our Just expectations, no one will
be able to charge the Governor with any
responsibility therefor. His speeches have
been strong, practical, and eloquent, and
everywhere the people have given good
proof of their admiration and affection
for him.
