COMPLAINT OF SERVICE.
Much dissatisfaction exists in Clare
mont and along the line in the manner
that the Southern Railway are operating
their Claremont branch. The mail train
is never on time, arriving at almost any
hour of the day, while the lumber men
are loudly protesting against the poor
equipment The road possesses Two en-
rines and ten or twelve lumber cars. and
only enough lumber can be brought at
one time to load one-half of a. vessel, and
no more lumber can be obtained until the
next day, thus compelling vessel owners
to wait sometimes a week before they
can receive their cargo.

THE DUTY OF DEMOCRATS.

The urgent and pressing duty OK Dem
ocrats Is to win the coming election.
The country will suffer griovously from
a continuance OF Republican rule. The
policies that are being pursued are for
eirn to our traditions and injurious to
the people. The influences that made
Mckinley President, that have govern
ed his policy. that receive his fayors,
are influences opposed 10 the best inter
ests of the country. They would force
the people into condition Of vassalage
10 an their purses. they are sending our
BOYS TO be- slaughtered IN the Philip
pines, they are using the government
itself for their own advantage, and SO
long as they haye the opportunity they
will continue this course. Democrats
cannot afford to quarrel or divide so
long a. such a situation confronts them.
Their supreme duty is TO get together
for the overwhelming defeat of the
enemies of the people They can sub
ordinate all questions 20 that. No one.
ON the one side OF the other, need ask
any concessions from any one else Con.
cessions are not necessary. Surrender
OF convictions is not necessary. But
union is necessary. More than that,
union viii bring victory. The men who
helped TO form the Republican party
the men who were its leaders when it
stood for a great moral issue and for the
rights Of man, are leaving the Repub-
hcan party to-day because the party has
left Us old principles The Democratic
party stands for the rights of man. for
the equality OF men declared in the
Declaration OF Independence, for the
freedom of the United States from en-
tanglement with the nations of Europe (;
for the right Of every man to earn his
own living and conduct his own bust
ness unhindered and unhampered by
any OF the clogs that monopoly would
place upon inc ustry and commerce for
freedom OF commerce a. well ~ free.
dom Of men. 10 can win and make Its
principles and purposes controlling IN
the conduct OF governmental Affairs n

prospects that they may profit by -
