To Our Correspondents.

We think local correspondence
make an admirable feature of country
journalism, but in order to make the
items sent us for publication interest
ing they must be OF something that
our readers want to hear It is not Of
interest to the general readers to know
that Mr.. Adonis called upon his best
girl. OF course If he did, he is glad Of
it and most likely she Is, too, but per-
haps neither wish to have their affairs
paraded before the public To note
neighborhood visits is of no interests
whatever except to parties Immediately
interested. When parties from
distance come to your town or neigh
borhood on business or pleasure bent,
or your neighbors move away or take
a Journey it IS vel to mention the
fact. When any one is sick, tell it
that Others may s,mpathize with them
and assist as far as possible in their
recovery. In omer words, never tell
anything until you have something
that is worth telling,

THE TUGELA RIVER.

The Tugela, or Startling river, across
which the Beers and British have
fought each other back and forth sever
al times, is the longest stream in Natal
and is described as picturesque and
magnificent. 1t rises on the Free State
side of Mount aux Sources, in the Drak-
ensburg, and at once leaps down 1900
feet, with fall broken only by one or
two lodges, and reputed to be the high
est in the world 1t then tears through
a great canyon for two miles and is
Joined by several rushing mountain
streams The first important tributary
TO the Tugela is the Little Tugela, which
flows in from the south. Then comes
the Kip river from the north-the
stream on which Ladysmith is situated.
Another tributary Is the Bushman riv-
err, on which Estcourt stands, while still
another is the Sunday river, which flows
past ElanGslaagte. The largest tribu-
tary is the Buffalo river, which enters
the Tugela at the Zulu border, and
which played a. prominent part in the
Zulu war of 1879. The Tugela reaches
the sea after a tortuous course of 200
miles, attaining at it's mouth a width of
450 feet,

THE CHIEF JUsr1cEsH1P.

Positive news concerning the office
of Chief Justice will be expected by the

of Chief Justice Judd has probably
been accepted and an appointment
will be made by President Dole. George

Washington, is on the same business
but will likely be a little late.
The last news from the east states
that Chief Justice Judd's health is very

AGAINST FUSION.

Democracy, crushed to earth by
a superabundance of title and con-
fcentration of intellect. is making
desperate efforts to arise from its SER
vile position, and is even now ON its
knees. The following petition
from the Salem Sentinel to the
faithful of Marion county should
catch the ear of democrats through
out the state. That organization
which would be held rival Of the
republican party must prove itself
worthy of the high honor it seeks
to gain; sincerity and unity of pur-
pose ar. elements of its success.
These sen :iments from the Sentinel
are worthy of applause:
"The time has come when there
is nothing left for democrats to do
but effect a party organization.
In truth the party should never
become disorganized. No good has
been accomplished from the fusion
movement; not single point has
been gained, and today the demo-
cratic party of Oregon is in shat
tered condition merely because it
has been led astray by the fowery
words and sweet scented promises
of the ''boss.''
''There have been three parties
or factions in this state, all fighting
for practically the same end, and
still each pulling in a different
direction. The factions we allude
to are, Of, course, the democrats,
populists and silyer-republicans.
While we have only the warmest
feeling for all these people, believ.
ing them to be, for the greater part,
sincere in their fight for better con-
ditions, the means for bringing
abo good results have been lost
sight of in an enthusiastic desire to
reach the desired end.
Gall must recognize the fact that
no good can be accomplished, no
beneficial results brought about
unless there is an organization back
of every movement in this direc-
ton strong enough to make its in
f1uence felt.
''The democratic party is in the
fight to stay; it will live as long as
the nation lives. The same cannot
be said of the populists and silver
republicans; they, as organizations
will become dissolved and merge
into one of the other parties.
ave have nothing to lose by or
ganization- and everything to gain.
By following this course we shall
at least win the respect of all hon-
est men, which is worth great
deal"
