question will be to get enough
to feed it. For lack of other
fodder it can eat the men who
voted for Mac. They are green

Every great cause has had
it's Judases and it's Peters;
seeking position but to betray,
or too weak to stand the fires of
persecution or ridicule. The
campaign just closed has not
had more than it's share of
such discouragements.
It becomes a grave question
whether the ballot box will
ever be able to overcome the
banks and trusts. The poorer
the people become the more
open they are to corruption.

The Centennial appropria-
ton was sidc-tracked by the
County Court last Monday.
1t must be understood that
our magistrates, who repre-
sent the people, are as patri-
otto as those of any other
county in the state, and they
arc anxious to have our
many advantages brought
before the public. But, when
the financial condition Of our
county is such that its script
does not bring face value,
we should stop and consider
before voting the peoples
money away. 1t is our duty,
first, to pay our honest debts
AS a correspondent stated in
this paper last week, eve

fectly willing to leave this
matter in the hands of the
County Court. We have
confidence in the honesty and
integrity of our magistrates,
and we are satisfied that they
will do what they conceive tc
be their duty.

For many years Spain
evaded the payment of an adj
Indicated claim due a citizen
of the United States for prop
erty destroyed, but by this
administration was made to
pay. And now it is intimated
ed that the Turkish govern
ment will be CALLED upon to
indemnify Americans living
in Asia Minor for the de-
struction of their property
by the Turks. Turkish terri
tory is coveted by several of
the European nations, and
because of the failure to di-
vide its territory satisfactori-
ly between them, the Sultan
has been more independent
than would have been admis-
sable had the situation been
different. The United States
is not DESTROYS of securing
any territory belonging to
that empire, but if rumors
prove to be correct, the adj
ministration proposes to see
that reparation is made by
the Turkish government for
injuries sustained by Amer
lean missionaries. Should
Minister Terrell be instruct
ed to demand indemnity, the
Sultan will find himself con-
fronted with a different state
of affairs to that when a sim
liar demand is made by the
European nations. The pol
icy of the present admin
istration in its dealings
with foreign nations while
conservative is nevertheless
firm and unwavering.

when our land has been kept
freefrom pestilence, our smoke
houses filled with meat and
our cribs with corn. But not
withstanding all this it is on
ly necessary to scan the col
umns of the free silver jour
mails and read the interviews
of the free silver politicians
to realize that, although
we have peace and plenty,
with not a few contentment
is wanting. But such a state
is not novel. In the garden
of Eden our first parents were
placed, where the morning
sun kissed the dew drops that
adorned the fragrant flower,
the golden fruit nestled
among the foliage of the
spreading boughs, and the
sparkling water trickled
amidst the green sward and
innumerable orbs kept watch
during the peaceful hours of
slumber. But we are told
into that paradise the devil
entered, and as a result the
forbidden fruit was plucked.
From that eventful hour
even to the present time,
though blessings innumerable
have been and are now being
showered, nevertheless the
carpers seem to be gaining
in numbers. To nurture such
a disposition is dangerous.
Already many claiming to be
democrats are abusing the
only person that was ever
elected on the democratic
ticket and the end is not yet.

HON. HECTOR D. LANE,

HON. HECTOR u. LANE,
President of the Col ton
Growers Association, has
issued a call advising the
planters to meet in conven-
ton in Memphis on the 21st
of this month. The object
of the meeting will be the de-
vising Of me ans for the pro-
lection of the price of cotton,
hence will be an important
one and should receive the
careful consideration of all
cotton planters. The cotton
crop Of last year was smaller
than for many years, and the
result was better prices. For
several years past the pro-
duction exceeded the con-
sumption, hence the surplus
has been annually added
to and the price of the
staple has gradually but
surely declined. The wis
dom of diversifying the crops
is too apparent to be doubt
ed. Although last years
crop of cotton was about two
and a half or three millions of
bales less than the year be-
fore, still the condition of the
planters surpasses that of
any period within the. last
decade. Not only does di-
versifying the crops in the
South inure advantageously
to the southern planters, but
it is instrumental in making
our lands more sought after,
because while cotton was
being too extensively cultiva-
ted the southern planters were
compelled to purchase both
corn and flour from northern
grain growers. But since the
southern farmers have begun
to raise their own grain the
demand from the north
has been curtailed, and as a
result there has been immi-
grafton to this section of.
country where more differ
ent kinds o; crops can be sue
cessfullY cultivated. 1t is
therefore important in more
respects than one that the
policy advocated by Mr..
Lane and practiced last year
by the cotton planters be adj
hered to in the future.

THE carpers and condemners of
the present administration have no
doubt been surprised by the offer of
500, 600, 900 bonds to the people
by Secretary Carlisle. Severe in
their condemnation have been the
republican and silver journals of the
president for the sale of the last
bonds to the syndicate. But in Of
fering to the people an opportunity
for purchasing bonds of $4,000 and
multiplas thereof the administra-
ton has effectually shown that it is
not in league with syndicates, and
that aid from that source will not
be sought unless it becomes neces-
sary. Because of the Withdrawals
of gold from the Treasury with
which to purchase bonds, the ether
loans did not prove satisfac-

tention to the report of the
Auditing Committee of the
Corporation of Bolivar, pub
lished elsewhere in this issue.
The report shows the Corpo-
ration to be in a healthy
condition financially, and
reflects great credit upon the

The old Board was composed
of men who have served the

discharged their duties, and

 General E. F. Durand, Uniformed Rank K. of F., this city, has just re- turned from attendance at Cleveland O., at the sessions of the supreme lodge of the order of Knights of Pythias. The order, General Durand says, is getting along better than ever in its history. The sentiment in favor of Pythianism is growing steadily among an excellent class of citizens. General Durand visited his old lodge, Rathbone No. 1, last evening, and addressed the members. The general is a welcome visitor to all the Pythian lodges. He has in his business line visited every state east of the Rocky Mountains since last February.
 Also among the visitors to Rathbone lodge No. 1, Knights of Pythias, was the beloved grand keeper of records and seal, Colonel Horace O. Case of Hart ford. Colonel Case spoke very enthu- siastically of the progress of the order and said that the increase in Connec- ticut for the past six months had been 352. The annual session of the Grand lodge of Connecticut will be held in Bridgeport October 20 and 21 and prom ises to be very interesting.

FOUND THEIR BANNERS.
Loss Had Caused Anxiety Among Nt

Loss Had Caused Anxiety Among New
 London Veteran Bremen.
 When the New London Veteran Fire mems association went to New York city in the fall of 1892 to participate in the great Columbian parade, they car ried two beautiful silk banners, suita- bly, inscribed, which were given to the association by it's honored president, George Williams. The banners were carried in the procession by the associ- ation with no little pride, and after the fatigues and triumphs of the parade and the trip, the association returned, bringing the banners with them.
 They disappeared from that date, however, and no trace could be found of them afterwards though the search was thorough Of course the members felt the loss very much indeed, princi- pally because of the donor. Friday last, luckiest day of the seven, the ban- ners turned up in the old Brainerd building on Main street, where there was a house cleaning going on.
 It appears that the Vets had a closet there for the storage of such things as the banners, but singularly enough it was forgotten. The recovery of the lost banners was enough to compensate for the vexatious loss, and the account is now square in the mind of every Vet eran.-New London Day.
