THE coNsERyATIyE ClTIzEN.

The most valuable citizen in this
country is the one who is conservative.
The conservative man thinks before he
acts and he is oftener night than wrong.
Nine cases out of ten he is a safe man
to follow. His conservatism leads
him TO be cautious in what he says and
does, and he goes through the world
with fewer enemies and with a better
and more useful record than the man
who gives his opinions haphazard and
without thought.
The conservative man is the mainstay
of freedom; the servant of civilization
and the leader in the "march of
Progress" He uses his mind to think
and his opinions are formed by taking
into careful consideration the virtues
and vices of all sides of public ques-
,%tions. He makes his points without
abuse. His arguments are feasts of
reason, not mere flow of words.
Conservatism don't mean cowardice
or policy as some loBd-mouthed dema-
gogues would have the world believe.
s'The barking dog seldom bites'' is an
old saying, quaint and true. The
loudest monthed advocate of public
issues is nearly always the follower,
seldom the leader.
The man who is conservative is in
the end the winner, and if he does not
win the victory is not well earned. The
world is tired of demagogues. Their
day is far spent. The greatest mis-
takes recorded in history have been
made as the result of attempts to carry
out schemes that were born of words
not thoughts. Schemes that were
nourished by the mouth, not by brains.
The nation, the state, the county, this
city, yes, the wide, wide %arid needs
more conservative men. Men who
don't fly off .'half cockod'' at every
opportunity. Men who are conserva-
tive enough to think and brave enough
to speak their thoughts.

The Transvaal Republic in South
Africa Is a small spot on the map. YET
it has attracted world wide attention
during the past week. 1t is populated
mostly by H~ollanders, called Beers, OF
cattle men, and they are a brave lot of
people, as their actions have proven.
England claims some sort of sovereignty
over the country. but this has never
been acknowledged by the Beers. A
few days ago about 500 British, under
the head of n DR.. Jameson, suddenly
made an attack on the Beers with tie
expectation of capturing and holding
the country permanently in the name of
the Queen. But the Beers, appraised Of
the object of the expedition, rallied in
force, and after a sharp engagement, in
which about 200 English were killed
and wounded, they succeeded in cap
turing DIR. Jameson together with his
entire force. All the leaders are nov
I'm irons, and the Beers are considering
the propriety of putting them to death.
This has aroused England, but Emperor
William of Germany has telegraphed
his congratulations to the president Of
the Transvaal, and has given England
to understand that Germany would not
stand idly by and see the republic
destroyed. The English people are
indignant at this action on the part of
the German emperor, and are threaten
ing to go to war with Germany. AS
the case now stands England Is sur
rounded by enemies, not M of the
great powers indicating by word or
that it would lift u hand to aid
her TO eScane the wrath to come.

JUDGE YOUNG FOR CONGRESS-.


Three months ago the INTELLIaEN-
GER, on its W responsibility, nomi-
mated Judge William Young for con-
gress. At that time we had not talked
to Judge Young about the matter, and
did not know that he would accept the
place if it were rendered him on a silver
platter. But we believed that the equity
and wisdom of the situation was to
nominate him for congress. We believed
then and we believe now that he is the
logical candidate for the party.
Since first the INTELLIGENCER called
attention to his qualifications for the
place, he has received scores of requests
from both counties to make the race.
His integrity, his ability and his democ-
racy alike commends itself to the demo-
Gratis of both. LAFAYETTE and Jackson,
and the INTELLIGENCER will moi be
surprised if he is nominated without
opposition. lie has a large acquaint-
ance in Jackson county, and his candi-
dacy there is regarded with much favor.
Here is what the Independence Sentinel
says Of him:
LAS there will be a general election
next fall, including, of course, a MEM
Der of the lower house Of congress from
the Fifth congressional district, sugges-
tons are in order as to the material
available in the democratic party for
representative. Congressman Tarsney
has announced that he will not again be
a candidate for office. The district is
composed of Jackson county and Lafay-
cite county, and Jackson county being
the big boy in the combination has moi
hesitated to name the congressman,
while Lafayette has been loyal to the
party and aided materially in making
the majority. This time Lafayette de-
m1nds the nominee aud announces that
she will have a united delegation in the
next convention.
1.-The man upon whom the Lafayette
men will probably unite is n well
known throughout the district, and
especially in his W county. Judge
William Young is the present probate
judge of Lafayette county, and has held
that position for six years. He is an
old resident and possesses in q marked
degree the confidence and respect of all
who know him. He served during the
war in a cause he believed to be just,
and left one arm and a part of the other
the field. He lives in Lexington,
and is abreast of the modern thought,
keeping thoroughly posted on politics.
as a strong q Personally Judge
Young is a man of commanding pres
ence, tall and straight, with hair and
beard slightly grey, a large head and
eye. If he should receive the
nomination for congress from this dis
trict he would be elected. and would
serve the district with distinction"

O MUcY TA1,K


There is a great deal NOR talk going
on in Lafayatte county about the court
house thahi Necessary. Talk is cheap,
of course but xheb it hurts the county's
progress it comes too high to deal in
at wholesale.
Abuse is not going to move the court
house to H~igginsville, o will 1t keep
it at Lexington.
Abuse is not going to keep the county
court from repairing the court house,
nor will abnse persuade the court TO
repair 1t.
Abuse is the tool of fools and dema-
gogues. Anybody can abuse and curse
and charge around. Wise men and
good citizens reason things out and
then give their reasons for their ideas.
The best citizens in Lafayette county
are not keeping alive the fires that
burn on the altar of sectionalism. The
best citizens of all sections are thinking
and speaking their thoughts in reason
Any man has u right 20 beiieVe whal ne
pleases about the court house, but he
has no right TO enter into a wholesale
stock of abuse and vitlification because
others do not believe like he does. He
has no right to charge fraud, deception
nor treachery until he can prove it.
All the honest men in Lafayette county
do not live IN and around H~igginsvIlle,
nor do all the dishonest ones live in
and Lexington, nor vice versa. The
great lesson that must be learned in
this county is that demagogues whose
spear is abuse and whose shield is
favoritism of one section, must be sent
to the rear or else taught that a fools
talk only represents a FOOLS ideas.
