Once more has the pugnacious
South ventured to cross swords with
the North at the polls, and should
the South be successful next Novem-
Der, God only knows what it would
next try to do, but as it most ig-
ANONYMOUSLY failed in 1865, so will
it fail in 1900, the eve Of a new
century. No, ''there is no North, no
South, no East and no West in this
country at present, and only one
country and one flag" but that is
true because the North is strong
enough to make it 50. The South
stands ready to raise the very devil
at any minute the North would re-
lent It's grasp on public affairs and
give them the reins. The South is
always dangerous animal and the
North should ever keep a vigilant
watch over it.
