NOT STUCK ON CLEARY.

Richland Democrat: Tom Clearly,
Grant county's persistent, is again
smelling around to see about con-
gresslonal possibilities in the third
district. If the time ever comes
when democracy in this district
will realize the futility of catering
to one or the other of tho e, O. o.
factions there's possibility that the
district may be represented by a
democrat. But as long as the
candidate is selected because of the
republican votes he can or ought to
poll, just so long will follow defeat
OF the candidates of democracy.
And for that very reason the party
should look beyond Tom Clearly.

PUPS AND BABIES.

Some one with turn for curious
statistics kept count upon the
fashion pageantry of Fifth avenue
New York as it glittered past on a
Sunday afternoon and in an hour
he recorded seventyone dogs on the
laps Of finely dressed women and in
the same time nineteen children?
Well what of it?
This is a free country and if a
woman prefers dog rather than a
child what is there to prevent it?
The cold hard brutal truth of the
matter is that a whole lot of women
are better fitted to bring up dogs
than they are to bring up children.
When these by natural incllna-
ton and selection have found the
measure of their affections and that
measure is dog size let them in
dulge init.
1t would be impossible to conceive
OF anything more pltiable than the
fate OF a child born to a woman
whose heart yearns for a pup. That
poor child must shrivel up body and
soul of heart hunger.
1t is no imaginary case. Up
fortunately there are many such
children IN the world. They are
like little stunted shrubs that spring
up in the soil that is barely suffi-
Gent to nOurish the seed but too
hard and dry to supply the tree.
Such children-God pity them
are worse-ten thousand times
worse-than orphaned.
Their childhood is an unheeded
wall of unselfish longing. Well it
is better for all concerned that the
mothers should raise up pups in
stead.
There IS good in pup but there
is no possibility of good in a child
of a woman whose heart affections
are only pupsize.

TO SPAN EAST RIVER.

HE JOURNAL learns with much
pleasure that there is a move
ment on foot to build 4 substan-
tlal and up-to-date draw bridge
over the East River, from River
side Farm to Magnolia. the homes
respectively of A. w. Hepburn,
Esq, and Hon. Geo. Y. Hunley.
This is an excellent move and
will be not only Il great Conven-
fence to the travelling public,
but will, if completed, prove
source Of some revenue TO the
builders. We predict that if the
bridge is built, the time will come
when it will be regarded as such
an absolute necessity that the
county will be called upon to make
1T public property. 1t will put the
people of Whites Neck in close
touch with Mathews Court House
which latter place its dwellers
are wont to say and think is the
veritable Hub of the universe and
it will prove a great blessing to
all our people. Nothing is more
wholesome for the people than
frequent associations with each
other, and better roads and
better bridges bring greater op-
portunities for association and
stimulate as we'll the business as
the social life of our county.
Let's build the bridge.

OFFICE HOLDING.

Those of our contemporaries
who are opposing the nomination
of Hon. w. a. Jones as the
oCratic candidate for Con-
gress are not relying as largely
upon the peculiar fitness of Mr..
Ohio +. Mears for the position
as they are upon the fact that
the Office docs not belong to Mr.
Jones. If such an argument is
not entitled TO much admiration
or credit on account of its origin
atty, perhaps our COntempOr-
aries think it ought to be treated
with respect because Of its an
tiquity. 1t Is bearded with moss,
and we have discovered no one
who recognizes in Mr.. Jones a
man equal with Mr.. Mears in
character, in ability, in knowl-
edge of public affairs, and a party
servant and public servant III
every way as deserving as he, so
utterly ignorant as to claim the
Office as the property of any in
dividual. Some of us have
thought that inasmuch as Mr..
Jones has been serving the peo-
pie of his district with great
ability and faithfulncss, evil
dencing his increasing fitness
each year, and in view of the
fact that even Mr.. Mears' warm
est friends cannot claim for him
character higher. ability greater, |
nor party nor public service as
conspicuous. that Mr.. Jones ex-
perience in Congress. his stand
ing there and his knowledge of |
Federal Legislation would sug-
gest that he was at least. so far
as the people of the District are |
concerned, as available a candi-
as Mr.. Mears and. a more useful
representative than Mr.. Mears
could for years hope to be.
We do not mean at all to dis
oarage, Mr.. Mears' attachments,
,ut if the Democrats get control
# the next House it must be pat

would be far more commanding :

Other than this, Mr.. Jones time
and attention have for years been
gwen TO a consideration of gov
ernmental questions, the tariff.
hnance, commerce, our insular
affairs, ct cctera, and with the
Democratic Party in control of

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

Mrs. Marchant closed her
school Friday, May IL, after s
months of faithful and successful
labor. Mrs. Marchant has filled
her every school day with earnest
enthuastiC work and results are
apparent in the Creditable eX-
amina;ions which the pupils have
passed.
Miss James will draw her labors
to close Friday, May Is. Her
pupils have testified to her meri-
torous work by remaining with
her until the close of the session.
We are lonesome in the High
School classes. Quite a number
of our pupils have left us much to
our disappointment. We had
hoped TO retain nearly all till the
close. We regret that we have
not aroused an ambition strong
enough to overcome the hardship
OF walking far and studying hard
in the heat of May days; we are
sorry that we have not made
school and study so interesting
that all have wanted to finish up
this year; that we have not awak-
ened thirst for KNOWLEDGE
strong enough to make all feel
that they must come till the end.
Although oar numbers are few we
shall endeavOr to have a pleasant
and profitable closing.
Examinations begin next Mon
day and continue for two weeks.
On the evening of June II, our
closing exercises will be held.
While we cannot make elaborate
preparations vet we trust to pre-
sent the public a pleasing pro-
gram. Numerous prizes have
been offered by citizens and they
will be present on that evening.
We trust every friend Of the
school VIII keep June II free for
oar commencement.
