The high muck-a-mucks OF the
Democratic party are beating the
bushes for a battle-cry to be used IL
the next national contest. The party
is seriously divided as to the advisable
ity of continuing the fight with silver
as the paramount issue. There are
great many silverites who think 1t
impolitic to keep the gold Demo
Gratis out of line, and there ace others
who believe if the silver issue is
dropped good strong fight with an
almost solid Democracy can be made
against expansion and imperialism
However, Notwithstanding the opin-
ions to the contrary, of the great
leaders, We are still Of the opinion
that the Democratic party cannot
win in the next national fight. We
have never read where the people
have refused to endorse an admins
tration in power after a war, and on
the wsr issue alonc will the Repubii-
cans retain their grip upon the gov
ernment for another term. Il is true
that the Republicans are not alone
entitled to all of the glory the success
American arms have brought, but
they are in power, and to them will
the glory go. regardless Of all other
issues or questions politicians may
invent. 1t is our opinion that the
most the Democrats can hope for, is
the keeping of the party in lire and
the gain of seats in the lower House
of Congress.

NOT HURIING FIREBRANDS.

We see it stated that Governor
Mcsweeney will not reappoint Craw-
ford on the constabulary force who
was recently acquitted OF the charge
of murder by a kershaw jury. We
are satisfied the jury did their duty
by acquitting the prisoner, because
under the evidence different YER
dict would have been a clear viola
ton of the oaths taken. And now
that jury has removed the stain OF
murder from Crawford he should
seek other employment than the con-
stabulsry, an employment less liable
to bring him into trouble. It IS said
the Governor will not reappolnt
Crawford because he does not intend
to increase the force; this may he
one of the reasons, but it is our
opinion that Governor McSweeney
knows the existence of ill-feeling
throughout the State against Craw-
ford, and his re-appointment would
be very offensive to a large number
of citizens, some of whom are not op-
posed to the dispenssry law; for this
reason he would very properly de-
cline to reinstate Crawford on the
force.
Governor McSweeney has not as
vet given out defined policy, but
those who have watched his public
career, will agree with US when we
say that he is not a hurler OF fire.
brands, and that his efforts will be
directed towards executing the laws
of the State firmly and with kindness.
The dispensary law has given public
men a considerable amount OF worry,
and about the time prejudice takes a
vacation, some thoughtless act will
call it back, and the enemies Of the
law use it to fan the embers of preju-
dice into flames of hate. When Con-
stable Crawford fred the shot which
killed Mrs. Stuart, from one end of
the State to the other, did the enc
mics of the law seek to poison the
minds Of the people against the law,
and we have no doubt had an elec-
ton taken place then, the General
Assembly would be composed largely
Of opponents of the dispensary law.
But like all questions, there are two
sides, and when Crawford's side was
heard by an unpreiudiced jury he
was exonerated. But the question
now is, would it be wise for the Gov
ernor to reinstate on the force man
who is the object Of hate? Would the
appointment Of such an one have a
tendency to bring respect to the law?
Or would the reappointment Of Craw-
ford be source of irritation? If it
is, the Governors purpose not to re-
instate Crawford we think We see the
wisdom of such course.

Mr.. Editor, we have the unenvia-

of our young people and are not
ashamed to compare them with those
of any other section of the country.
We feel that it is due our teachers to
say that in all it takes to constitute
a thoroughly equipped and success
full teacher ours are prepared, and
that community which secures either
of them for the next scholastic year
will indeed be fortunate.
Our graded school here at Pine
Grove is up-to-date in every respect.
Our teachers are qualified for their
work both mentally and morally.
