ARGUMENT GALORE.

When there is no argument abuse is
resorted to.-Beaver Journal.
In the same issue that the above lit
tie squib appears the editor of the
Journal publishes the following in re-
gard to the editor Of the HERALD. We
caa't imagine why King Fisher wished
to call attention To his own lack Of
argument, but being such a wise fell
low we suppose he imagined his dumb
readers might mistake the following
for abuse. No, no, hubby, anyone
could see the argument" in your
"write 'cm up";
"Miss Thomas is perhaps a good q; ri
in her way and for the opportunities
ste has had, but she will find out after
willie that she has mueh to learn, and
that she did not see all Of the world
when she made that trip last summer.
She could make another, and another,
and another, and many more, and size
would still learn something. But now
she is a spoiled child. Her bump of
egotism is large. She is a society Lead
or with few followers; n society belle.
whose ringing sounds loudly, hut still
only sounds. She undoubtedly ina

abuse Others and paralyze them and
the PEOPLE will fall down and co her

Harmony Boiling Over.

Editor Advance:
That wonderful Beaver Journal Har-
mony pot has heen licked dry by the
members of the Republican party who
were anxious to find something to
stick to.
Since it was called by the Fisher and
looked after by him it is not only nat
ural that he should shout about what a
good time they had even If there were
only few there except the manipula-
tors. II was rather slick scheme
and seems to have worked, but as soon
n the Republicans for Principle" see
that it was case of Fish out chesnuts
for Fisher" there will be an awful
spewing up OF harmony. In fact they
will see that this Fisher business is go
ing to be an opening wedge for a di-
vided party and loss at the polls.
Now just for moment let your mind
look at what would have been the re-
suit II some one else had been elected
as secretary and the endorsement of
the Journal as the only republican pa
per at the county seat had been
laughed out of court? Wouldn't there
have been big bowl of harmony sud-
denly turned to gall and the pen of the
Journal dipped in this gall to the hilt?
And yet who shall say that this would
not have been better for the party9
Perhaps the worst dupes of all are the
new settlers who swallowed the bait
aud attended drinking freely of the
harmony without knowing that it was
filled with small hooks which will not
be felt till later. But never mind all
things will come out right in the end
A Republican for Principle, in Hook
er Advance.
