with the gloves.
 THE "great geFnaP' on Adams stree,
 hes taken upon itself what seems to be
 a very oongeniai occupation, that of de-
 nouucing every body and everything
 that don's wear the tes.iron oollar that
 marks it's existence as @ mere tool Honorable cisizsne and newspapers that
 have made the country what it is, sup
 port capital from @ sense of justice; 8
 tool of capital supports it for what there
 is in it, and to this class belongs the
 great" institution on Adams street,
 that could not exist today were 1t not
 the mere tool of someb body. bought up l and to be used to promote jobbery and corru ption. Ia. is the acknowledged
 tool Of plan to force upon ths citizens
 of the Territory the payment of fraud
 ulenb bonds; it assumes to abuse the
 High School board of this city, body
 of men selected from our best and most
 responsible citizens, by the citizens Of
 the valley; and it further presumes to dictate to the people what freight they shall pay on their produce and to ds- clsre that She HERALD has misrepre- scented facts in connection with the latter. The HERALD stated fact when it said 5hst Georgia watermelons were being sold along the line of the A x P. road for less than the melons of this valley could be sold for there, and thie egotlstical bump from corru ption's log meets the argument with the usual i'm beoile's reply. The egotiem and the bossism will both find themselves out of place in that concern in course of time.
 WHILE the Democratic press is howl ing for prosperity and feeling the bricks of defest the best possible reply to local organs is to invite them to stroll along the corners of Center and First stEeets and Washington street end note the congregation of idle men. While it is true these corners are by no means deserted they are now counted in two's and fouf's while year ego the side walk WAS almost in pessable. IL is also | true that farmers throughout the valley | are reporting scarcity of hsying and | threshing outfits. Or course not every man can fad employment and it is | more lack oe small capitalists and con tractors than it is of day laborers but | these matters are surely adjusting | themselves. Where year ago is was | almost impossible for kind hearted l man to pass one of these corners with quarter in his pocket, without being led to lupch counter by She m pertaining of 8 hungry but hn hcuee: !ook, there is today very little begging going on ex oept by these @bo prefer that kir d of sn existence. Strife and diecord, mis- fortune and poverty will alweys exist to 8 greater OF lesser extent. Miners will | strike and workngmen will be dissat- sfed, sometimes with gecd reason and sometimes without but that corditions have materially improved is no longer question save to the w!lfully blind. Mir. and the party that has placed him in poweF could not expect in four months and 8 hslt to recover the ground thas for four long years was steadily slipping from under. But the land slide has been blocked and the work of building up is being vigorously prosecu- 5ed. Patience and united effort will in tue season prove the wisdom and the patriotism of those who have under ,sken to lift the ergr oest netion of the sarth from the bogs and quickesnds of he slough of Daspond.
