TIE Baltimore Sun in leading edi-
torial yesterday morning gives the Re
publican party some good advice, but
we fear in the wholesale scramble for
Office they will not heed it. 1t points
out to them clearly the pitfalls into
which the Democratic party had fallen,
and the remedy to avoid the blunders.
In conclusion it SAYS.
1.-THE republican majority of to day is
far less strongly intreuohed than the
majority which followed the beck and
call Of the deposed democratic bosses
last year. They VIII commit, therefore
greater mistake than their predecessors
committed if they follow in the ruts of
reckless partisanship in which the demo-
cratic machine ran to ignominiOus de-
feat. 1t is Il case in which the republic
cans, if they are wise, will contemplate
the tomb of those who have just gone
out from the places they occupy and
make no mistake as to the appeal which
its pathetic epitaph makes to their wis
dom. The quaint old lines are plainly
inscribed thereon:

A New Deal.

The auditor this week received a
communication from Tax Agent Sedg-
wick of the Northern Pacific Railroad
company, in which he was notified
that the company would this year
take advantage of the provisions of
the law permitting property owners
who desired to do so to work out their
road property taxes. This plan if ad-
opted by the company will be some
thing OF surprise to the farmers of
the county, especially where there is
great deal OF railroad land. 1t has
been customary in some districts to
vote heavy road taxes, which it was ex-
pected the railroad would pay in cash
while the farmer would work out his
part. If the letter is true the shoe
will probably pinch the other foot;
the railroad will work out it's road
taxes and the FARMERS will pay theirs
in cash. The company has taken adj
vantage of law passed by the last
legislature, requiring all who wished
to work out their taxes to notify their
supervisors before the first of the wear.
This has not been understood by the
farmers, and few if any OF them have
taken advantage of it. The Auditor
thinks, however, that way will be
found to avoid the law in this county. |
He is of the opinion that the provision
of the statute prescribes an impossi-
bility, because the now supervisors do
not take their offices until after the
time designated for the notification to
be made. The commissioners look at
the matter this way, too, and we are
informed will proceed as heretofore,
permitting those who desire to work
out their road taxes. The proposition
Of the railroad to work the roads will
bear pretty hard upon the cash in the
road funds of the districts. but if car
ried out it will probably mean a great
deal of road building. No information
has been received as to how the COM
pany will handle the matter, it may
employ large force of men and sub
divide it into parties for each county
in the state where it has lands, or it
may hire its labor among the farmers
in the vicinity of the lands it
owns.-Chehalis Nugget.

The Doctrine OF UnbeIief.

Colonel Ingersol's new lecture, says
awriter in Chicago evening newpaper,
in thought, in language, in arrange
ment is practically the same old lee
ture which first gave him the the no.
toriety that has enabled him to live at
ease all these years without much in
tellectual or physical LABOR.
Yet this is not quite exact. It
should rather be said that the lecture
is the ghost of "Gods." 1t possesses
the outlines, but not the substance. 1t
has al of the ftfulness, but none of
the flaming fire. 1t has the shape, but
not the beauty.
1t is not hard to understand why :;
indeed, it would be marvellous if it
were otherwise. Nobody, not even an
Ingersoll, can thrash over the same old
straw for years and years without
reaching at last time when no more
grain can be whipped out of it. Prob
ably Ingersoll realizes that his labor
has become barren. His languid mo-
ton indicates that he does realize it.
The size of his audience indicates that
the public is beginning to realize it.
After all, what has the mans long
labor accomplished? Has he made
anybody happy? Has he made any
body better? Has he improved, by
even the smallest measure, the condi-
tion of his fellows, of his love for whom
he is forever boasting? He has under
mined the hope of thousands. He has
taken away from some the crutch that
supported them on their heavy bur-
dens. What has he given them in
place of hope?
Nothing. Nothing at all out sham
philosophy based wholly upon words
he took from the book he loves to ridi-
cule: "Eat, drink and be merry, for
tomorrow ye die" 1t is true that he
prates much and solemnly of what he
calls "the religion of humanity" HUI
manity, indeed! Who that has suffer
ed is ignorant of the sort of comfort
that religion affords? When we were
weary and heavy laden what human
being ever whispered: "Come unto me
and will give you rest?" When want
hugged us in its skinny arms what hui
man being turned aside to release us?
When the dew of death was gathering
upon a well-loved brow and we felt the
loved hand freezing, never again to
warm for us, and saw the loved eyes
close forever, what human being sooth-
ed our anguish and stilled the pain
that tore our hearts asunder?
1t is pleasing phrase, this religion
of humanity" but it is phrase-no
more. And nobody knows it better
than Ingersoll himself. When he
stands beside his brothers grave he
looks, not down, but upward, and
"listening hope hears the rustling of an
angels wing"
ALI the brilliant talk in the world
can not alter human nature. The weak
must lean. As the storm RACES, and
the thunder rolls, and the lightning
leaps, and the ship trembles, we shud-
dering, helpless passengers, locked in
our dark cabins, must trust in the
Great Captain. Ii there be no captain,
as the Ingersolls tell us, our only COM
fort, our only hope, is still to believe
lthere is.
