Items from every quarter. | am
sure that this plan will do much to-
ward bringing the good people of
the state In closer proximity to
each other, and will be a medium of
bringing out ideas for good, to the
general public that have been ma
terialized, but have been kept in
the back ground for want Of the op-
portunity that the paper is offering.

the people are riTe, and ready to do
the right, and all that Is needed il
for them to have the light turned on.
We In this section of the state

We are more than gratified with
the article "Light 10 Breaking"
What the more surprises us is that
so many good men in the Demo
cratic party have groped their way
in darkness so long. Is it fact
that the laboring man, "poOr wretch
that he is," must always be used as a
tool to further the revolutionary
gang of thriving conspirators who
care nothing for the good of the
people and the welfare of the state?
Well; hasn't the last legislature
broken the record. What more can
they do, than they have done?
Why, you can't hold democrat
up here long enough to ask him
what he thinks about it. If you
happen to name the acts of the last
legislature in the hearing of a dem
ocrat, he just simply vanishes, as
vapor will before the purifying
effects of spring morning sunbeam.
They (the democrats) say that the
complexion Of democracy has so
changed that they really do not
know where they are at.
Our merchants think that the
revenue &c, machinery act is very
unfair; under the new school law, the
whole machinery of our free public
school system has gone democratic.
What do you think of party that
will degrade itself, if it is possible
for such a party as the democratic
party to be degraded) as to usurp
authority over the Representa-
tive of the county, in the General
Assembly, as the last legislature did
and not even hear him in appoint
ing the County Board of Education
but select the meanest partisan dem
ocrats they could find in the county
and appoint them as a non-partisan
board of education. Such is surely

as relates to nol-prossing the case'
against the democratic registrars
who were indicted for violating tina

be policy in such action, but we fee
safe in asserting that there is M
principle underlying any such prop

assent to such, will regret it in les
than two years to come. Stick
