CIVIC RIGHTEOUSNESS.

When men are assailed with sudden temptations or passions, sometimes the citadel of our con- science is over-thrown and the tempter comes in and binds us before we can realize what we are really doing. For such spas modic action there is much pity and sorrow in our moments of re- flection. But there are certain things that appeal to us in our sober and tranquil moments. Our conduct and character on these lines make our true character.
 In matters pertaining to re- ligion, who would not have a burning desire to be right?
 If the Bible is the Book that shows the true way, who would be so lost to nature or so deprav ed as to be satisfied to take the wrong road and go listlessly on in ease and contentment only to wake up at the end of the jour ney and find that all was lost? What sincere man is there among us who does not desire to be right on question pertaining to the welfare of his own soul, whether the crowd go that way or not?
 There can be no excuse for any sane man being wilfully wrong on such a question.
 Such an one would justly de- serve the wrath that surely is in waiting for such indifference.
 On the question of government, who does not desire to leave to his posterity a better govern ment than was left to him?
 Where is the man so thought less that in his sober moments, h.o,:...cc..i.ts c.its Of reflection, w,.oii. lie is alone in communion with him. self, he does not desire to do his part toward purifying and keep ing pure the ballot, the weap on to be placed in the hands of his children by which they may add to their own prosperity?
 A candidate who expects some present gain to come from his wrong, may be willing to prac- tice that wrong, but what excuse can a citizen find for aiding and abetting that candidate in a crime against himself, his children and his country--yea, an irrepairable injury, and only for the candi- dates gain?

If you voted in the democratic primary and now feel that the Populist ticket is more worthy of your support than the other, you should not hesitate now to vote for the Populist ticket. We lay this down as being in accord with civic righteousness as we under stand it, and we are ready to naintainand defend this doctrine. You may have done wrong when you voted in the primary. We do not propose to discuss that. But if you did, you would be doing wrong again to vote contrary to your own convictions of right, now. There is an old rule in grammar that 1.-Two negatives are equal to an affirmative. But we have never heard of a rule in Moral Philosophy that Two wrongs are equal to a right. y The conscience of an American citizen can never be bound to support any candidateseXcept on the ground that such a vote is for the best interest of his coun- trV

In a letter from Bro. Whaley to Bro Callicott, he says that he will join in the joint discussions in the county campaign. It is fair to Bro. Whaley that this be announced so that his friends may go out to catch out behind for him.

 Tom Watson realized the truth of this when he commenced his magnificent article against the heresy of socialism by taking a position on which all can agree, that "The COW isa useful animal. "

Sometimes 1t may become necessary for one man to stay in office for many years. This is the case when no one else can be found who is qualified or is will ing to sacrifice himself for the dear people. But such cases are very rare indeed. 1t so happens that Nevada county is fortunate enough to have several men who are fully competent to fill the several offices, and we have never yet reached the stage when no martyrs could be found willing to be sacrificed on their country S alatr. Two terms is long enough for any of the present incumb- ents, in our humble judgement. Not that they are very bad men, but they are not the only good men who are competent. Anoth- CT thing--these fellows, good fel- lows they may be, but they get to thinking the office belongs tc them, and they get very much offended if any offers to run fol My office , Another thing, they get toforming themselve in rings, cliques, combines, political trusts, etc., which is not good for them or the country at large. Let us rotate.

 If we have promised to do wrong, instead of keeping. that promise, the correct thing to do is to repent.
 Take another illustration:
 A certain man had two sons. He told them to go into his field and work. One said that he would, but dd not. The other said that he would not, but re- pented and went and worked. Which was the dutiful son?

 For example, in the cotton mar i,ct. on two occasions within the lasr few months. the speculative price of tais staple has advanced over loo points. or B q bale in the few miautes of trading following the issues of a government m7nth- Y report. aFd on numerous ether occasions the fluctuations have rushed widely up and down to the extent of Y b s bale because 9Ae government report more

The gain was mostly lost or the loss was mostly regained ID the next few days, IS infornation from private sources threw discredit upon the govern meat estimate.
 h the grain market the influence of RtHe government report upon quotations has not been so pro- nounoed, partly because the grain production of the United States Is not so large faetor ia the world $ production as in the case of cotton, and part because the grain traders have organized a system of private reports upon which they rely more than upon the government reports. Just now the cotton growers and retail dealers seem inclined to fol low the example of the grain men in tins respect.
 There is q demand from all par ties interested, either for the abo- Hilton of the government crop re- ports. or l marked change,lu gov Icrament methods. The seaad4is unearthed h the agricultural ba- reaa some months ago have=natur- ally thrown diseredit upou both the honesty and accuracy of the bureau reports.
