DEMOCRACY AND SOCIALISM.

Inasmuch as the force of socialistic ideas, If not of socialistic votes, is be- coming formidable in some sections of the Union, it is interesting to remark what attitude will be taken by the two great parties regarding this latest ten- dency in American politics. The selec- tion of MT. Williams as the minority leader in the house furnishes in Itself conclusive evidence that the democrat ic party, is not yet, nor likely soon to be, swept from it's old landmarks re- garding at least fundamental prlnci- pies. For this happy condition the credit is due in large measure to the, sound judgment and steadiness of pur- pose of the electorate in the Southern states-to the coinstancy and stability of the Southern people, This section of the Union should be the last place on the planet in which socialism may hope to flourish. Its apostles may succeed elsewhere, but it is safe to predict that here they will wear themselves out against the conservatism of Southern character If the South can predomi- nate in shaping the policy of the dem- ocratic party, that organization will set itself like a flint against those so- cialistic tendencies, which, in the judg- ment of many persons, are to-day the greatest menace to the perpetuity of American institutions.-Bir Age-Herald.

QUIET TIMES IN MORALES.


 The round up in the Gro Blanco
 country last week looked not unlike a
 funeral procession. It was tarne. Even the horses knew there was something wrong and went about their work in a lack-spirit manner. The cheery '.Hel- To, Bill How's she going?'' was changed to Good morning, William.
 How are you this morning?" Occa- sionally an outlaw cayuse would toss hih head, look at the peaceful-looking travellers and throw a great loud horse laugh. Men who for years had ridden the range with all the dash of centaurs and with defiance flashing from teir eyes sat stiff and still in teir saddles a mutton-chopped Britihers, and with faces more solemn. Truly, the change from the old rough-and-ready, happy go-lucky bunch was great. It could have been hardly greater. There were no guns in the party The ediet had gone forth that round-ups would here after be regarded as public gatherings, and the laws of Arizona (maIedictions on the meddlers that framed them, inutters Riata Rube) forbid the carry ing of weapons at public gatherings Nogales (Ariz.)

decide whether he had better go back for a while or whether he could remain out.
 This farmer says that this ground hog went into winter quarters early in November for he saw him filling his knapsack with all sorts of things that would tend to keep him alive during the cold weather. He took enough stuff to last him until May. Yesterday the farmer says he saw the same old felloW walking along a stone wall in his meadow, and he looked as happy as if he had slept all winter. The farmer says that he has figured that the old fellow went. into winter quarters, but the weather has been so warm that he could not sleep as soundly as he has in past winters. Towards the last he be- gan to get restless and could only take cat maps, as it were, and after while came to the conclusion that he had slept his long sleep. Yesterday being an unusually warm day he came out to see whether the winter was over. He found some snow on the ground and he saw his shadow, and after a short time went back into his hole for another six weeks sleep, just as he has gne in for mer years. The farmer thinks that this means that we will have about six weeks of unpleasant weather and then the winter will be over. He says that he cannot exactly imagine the state of mind thu ground hog will be in if he comes out of his hole along the latter part of January and finds the ground covered with a foot or two of snow, but he believes if the old fellow is any kind of weather prophet, and worth tying up at all, he has become aware that the winter is to be mild one and that his nap can be shortened up con- siderably.
 All the weather prophets seem to be astray on the question of the weather, and the farmer admits that the ground hog may have lost count, but he adds that he has heard blue birds singing in his orchards and seen robins hopping around the barn yard, and he believes that people will be able to save coal, while ice men will be compelled to fig ure on raising the price of ice next summer.-Ansonia Sentinel.

 Our former townsman, Rev. Horace P. Hovey, for years pastor of the Sec ond, now the Pilgrim church, Fair Ha- ven, was specially honored in having been chosen to deliver the oration at Newburyport, Mass, his home for years past, in commemoration of the Tooth anniversary of the birth of Will liam Lloyd Garrison in that city. Dr. Hovey is pastor of the Old South church there. The Newburyport News prints in full Dr. dovey's ortaltion. The News says: F.;
 Members of the Historical society of old Newbury united yesterday with members of the Young Mems Christian associatiin in taking fitting notice of the tooth anniversary of the birth of William Lloyd Garrison in this city. The exercises were held in the Y. M. c. A. building. The attendance was small on account of the weather. In the absence of Dr. A. B. Brown, presi- dent of the Y. M. c. A., the meeting was called to order by Charles A. Bliss.
 Several selections were sung, after which the Rev. MT. Greeley of the Whitefield church, read selections from the scripture and offered prayer. Mrs. Hall J. Leigh sang Is the Way So Hard, O Wanderer?'
 Chairman Bliss then presented His Honor Mayor Houston, who said:
 T fully appreciate the honor you have conferred by inviting me to as- sist at this meeting commemorating the centennial anniversary of the birth of William Lloyd Garrison.
 "Newburyport has been honored by @ long list of distinguished sons, and one of it's generous citizens has already honored the memory of Garrison by presenting the city with the beautiful monument that now adorns Brown square.
 T fully participate with you in feel ing of pardonable pride that this city should be the birthplace of such a man as William Lloyd Garrison and I think it highly appropriate that we should gather here to honor the memory of that fearless exponent of freedom from human slavery.
 T have the honor at this time to in- | troduce to you the Rev. Dr. Hovey, of the Old South church, who will address you"
