Entered at the Postoffice at Accolnat
G. H.. Va. as second-class matter.

The fight is to be made by the
Boltocrat- Republican combination in
Virginia to capture the State in the
election next year, and to that end
an effort is to be made by the COM
bipation to get the consent of Gen.
Fitzhush Lee to be their candidate
for Governor. The association of his
name with the Virginia black-and
tan combine, in this respect, is not
warranted by anything General Lee
so far has SAID or done. 1t is be
lieved to be not only without his
con sent, but against his wishes and
inclinations. The mere suggestion, if
We Judge him by his past record,
cannot but be repulsive to him. 1t
is an insult to his integrity to sup
pose that he could entertain for Il
moment proposition to desert his
party for the loaves and fishes"
which the combine has to offer him.
1t is an insult to his intelligence to
believe that ne could expect TO be a
successful candidate if he should
yield to their wishes. No one knows
better than General Lee does, that
there is not and cannot be but one
democratic party in Virginia-that
the boiling democrats in the last
election either must return to the
regular democratic fold or be alb
sorbed by the republicans-and Gen
eral Lee, OF course. could not accept
the leadership of the republican
party. If, however, he should be
induced to accept it, there would be
no reason for despair. yirginians
have followed him into the jaws of
death and would 90 so again, if it
could be done with honor, but to
them the path of glory does not lead
to the republican camp and General
Lee nor anyone else, we believe,
could take enough OF them there to
defeat the democratic party in the
State.

that since the capture of the Henrietta
and Imprisonment of the captain and
crew of the schooner it was impossible
to get a captain to take charter now
for contraband goods. Opium Brown
has been negotiating for two months
past, but up to the time this man left
Seattle he had not been successful.
This fact had made the Victoria and
Sound rings uneasy and for that reason
the man on the Australia came down
to see if arrangements could not be
made for shipping the stuff in the reg
ular way When he found that it could
not be done with any degree of safety
he returned to San Francisco on the
Australia.
While here he was overheard to re-
mark that there never used to be any
difficulty; the plan was to press into
service one of the Customs guards who
worked on commission with the ring
and in conjunction with one of the
officers on the vessel. If there were
thirty packages for consignee and
all went on one dray there was no
trouble to add two or three more, ad-
dressed to prominent men or firms,
the more prominent the person the
less danger of suspicion. Once the stuff
Oas on the dray the work of the driver
began and he dropped the cases of dope
off at headquarters or wherever he was
told to leave it. Sometimes, by way OF
shield, the stuff was run into the
appraisers Office and sent out from
there without examination.
But since Hoshina and Fishel are
out of the service and so many changes
have been made among the guards it is
impossible to form the combination.
He added further that the only sal
walton for the man who wanted to
land opium in large quantities was to
negotiate with the sealers who will
shortly leave for the sealing grounds
and indemnify the owners against loss.
A captain who is at all clever can run
his vessel close to the islands at night,
land his stuff and get out before day
light.

Among the passengers on the Aus

for the landing of opium on these

the highest degree. While here he
made the statement that there was no
difficulty in getting opium to Hawaii
once it was clear of Victoria and it did
not have to be landed in Honolulu.
The unprotected coast line offered
inducements to the dealer in contra
band goods because there was no diff
Guilty in getting it ashore at night.
The cooperation of one white man
is all that is necessary to make the
thing a success. He stated, however,

The lanai first, you observe. Yes, the
lanai is peculiar to Hawaii although its
partial equivalent is seen elsewhere. No
where, I believe. is there a more delight
ful home custom than that of the large
open, family living-room-shut in chiefly
by a roof, sweetened by the. sunshine,
swept by the mountain breezes, and sus-
ceptible to every change of earth and
sky Il is next to living out of doors,
and if your lanai is in the mountains or
by the sea, you feel very near to the
heart of Nature.

papers and sewing lie on tables at one
end, the childrens picture books and
toys are near by, the hammock is just

pictures of dewy morning or the vivid
pageant of sunset. The lanai, then, is
the heart of the house and throbs with

hospitable influence on all within its

1 am not advocating hermitage by
any means. Man is a social animal,
especially woman. Lonely living is al
most synonymous with eccentricity,
warped and morbid. We need the world,
it rubs off our sharp angles, but we do
not want to be rubbed all around even
ly till we all are only smoth pebbles.
Much of the worlds best society, bal
anced by being alone, develops the best
in us,-ourselves. Let us respect our
own preferences and tastes as we do
those of our friends, and with our
causes our social demands and our
family life, let US not stunt our own
souls, or yield them up to the influence
Of everybody without making them
everybody-Droof in some measure.
Build your lanai, then, broad and high,
but build the cosy library, too, the tiny
telephone room and the sewing-room,
Best of all, make a bedroom for every
one in your family, room that may be
a haven of peace TO its occupant. With
such house there need never be family
Jars, and the lanai will be the beautiful
setting of many a happy group.
Now for the family and our guests on
the lanai!

Under all its charms your lanai hides
certain menace, unless you provide it
with a retinue of smaller rooms that may
be shut away from the lanai and afford
quiet for anyone in quest of it. Times
Of being alone are absolutely essential
to any soul-growth. We must face
ourselves to know ourselves, and we
must work out for ourselves our own
salvation, intellectual no less than spir-
itual. Large-hearted hospitality is a
beautiful ideal, but its delight is only
enhanced by frequent solitary hours
when our own natures prevail.

The world is too much with us" runs
the sonnet, but it was Emerson who first
impressed me with the value of solitude
as an antidote for too much familiar talk
We descend to meet the claims, no mat
ter how charming our companion may
be,-our highest thoughts are reserved
Tor our own inmost hearts, and we are
strong and helpful only as we give our
selves sufficient time to heed the prompt
ings OF Nature around US and within.
Hanerron, too, las much TO say about
solitude. only in solitude do we learn
our inmost nature and its needs" Only
in solitude can originality of mind be
preserved. Only in times of solitude can
we become men of all ages, and enter
into the souls of men who have thought
Let me give you De Quincey's idea:
No man win unfold the capacities of
his own intellect who does not at least
checker his life with solitude My own
thought is that society may be the mar
ket where we get our seeds of thought,
but solitude is surely the soil for the
garden where they grow best.

The New Code Again.

The new code has been fond defec-
tive in another quarter, and Attorney
General Cowan in a finding holds that
the festive dog can go Scot free now so
far as the assessor and the dog catcher
is concerned One Section provides for
the assessment of such animals as were
named in another section. Dogs were
snubbed in the last one, and no tax
from that source will be forthcoming.
From the county treasurer of Grand
Forks County it is learned that 1882
was paid in to the county from that
source last year. If the dog crop in
creases as in years past there is some
danger Of it overreaching the ever
present crop Of thistles. y.
