been assessed twenty-five dollars to aid in
carrying on the election. Tha,reeqts up

dishonest one, and shows that the officers
appointed BY him are used BY extorted
contributions, to assist in elections. But
this will not excite the least surprise when
it is known that this extortion Of money to
carry on elections is an old dodge of Re
publican rule. Not only has it been i'm
posed upon Office holders in States and mu-
inequalities, but every one who holds Office
under the United States Government has
to contribute stipend for carrying on the
elections Of the party. In this way have


fabulous amounts been raised and votes
made mere matters of barter and trade.


1t has been by this species Of juggiery that
the Republican party has been kept in
power so long, that the negro vote Of
the South has been bought in the
lump and the different departments Of the
National Government made contributing
funds to the elections. There is not a
man who holds government Office from
the member of Cabinet down to the coun-
try postmaster, who receives barely
enough to keep him in bread and butter,
that does not have to reach into his pock-
ct for the dollars to keep his party in
power. And this is the reason, for Re
publican success, which is fast opening
the eyes of those who have been guilty of
it to realization of the dishonesty and
unfairness Of a party that they have been
bled and taxed to support. -

We have strong faith that the railroad

as railroad organizer and manager, and
his connection with the Company as its
ostensible head did not impair the con-

by his selection by the creditors as Re

had any stock in or connection with,
either of the Land Rings organized in
side of the Company for the purpose of
applying all its resources to private ac-
count, and strongly opposed the loca-
ton of the western terminus at Tacoma,
publicly declaring his own preferences
for Seattle as the most natural and
available poiut on Puget Souna for such
terminus. He is now rid, happily rid
of all these malign influences. supported
by the trust and confidence of all those
who have any money invested in the
enterprise, and under his wise and hon
est management we have no reasonable
donbt that the means will be promptly
furnished for the completion of the road

such connections made as will be for the
best interests of the country and the

A GOoD NOMIYATIoN.-It is to the
interest of the whole community that all
political parties put forward their best
men for office. When our opponents do
this, then there is stronger incentive to
the Democracy to place none but their
best on the ticket. 1t would afford us
pleasure to go through with campaign
where no occasion would present itself to
indulge in personal alusion of an Of

JOINT Canvass Mr.. Luttrell has
agreed to make partial canvass of the
District with DEMO, his Republican OPP
ponent. The prudent Jay Kay leaves a
loop hole to crawl out of, for he says that
he will speak in the district only part of
the time, devoting the rest to helping the
Democracy carry the State. Mr.. Lut-
trolls ideas Of his powers are very refresh
ing, especially to those who have heard
him when in his happiest whang- doodle
style. To disihterested party it would
look as though Mr.. j. X. could do as
much service in one part of the State as
another, and that it would probably be as
well for him to help his own chances at
tho same time he was helping those of his
party. But the prudent j. X. knows on
which side of his bread the butter is, and
we predict that after DEMO has taken his
scalp time or two. he will receive an

TIE "GRANp OLD PARTY. THE
Democratic ticket this year reminds Us of
the good old times before the war, when
the chivalry wing had the running of
things about the same ms they have now.
Citizens of Northern or of foreign birth
were taught to stand back, while the
high places in the synagogue were re-
served for gentlemen from the Sunny
South, and the I" Great North" was rep
resented on the ticket by such men as
John G. Burch. In the Republican dis
sensions the Chivs now see their golden
opportunity, and the way they have gone
for the scalps of their plebeian coadjutors
would indicate that they expect to have
things to suit themselves in future.

DIGNITY.-The Marysvile Appcal, in

says, We do not propose to discuss the
matter of equality, but we recognize the
difference between Senator of the United
States and clerk of that body. There
is a dignity attach ing to one that cannot
pertain to the other" Exactly. But
Mr.. Booth having once laid aside that
dignity to reply to the ''ccrk, " his toadies
will not be permitted to plead dignity 1"
now. We do not expect Mr.. Booth to
meet Gorham on the stump, but it will
be from the fear OF being handled without
gloves, not from any exalted notions of
dignity. Bidwell is the dignity" man

WHY HORSES BREAK IN NTRoTrINs.-1
have read the theories and experiences
of your various correspondents with
close attention, and when the paper is
read, !, ike Oliver Twist, always want
more.


But there is one point which appears
to be overlooked by your correspon-
dents, namely, the cause of some horses
breaking so badly and hcw to prevent
it.


have considered this subject for a
long time and have observed horses of
all ages, ard have arrived at a theory
which am almost satisfied is the true
one.


Some experienced horsemen say that
horse in his effort to respond to the
whip overbalances himself and is forced
to break to keep himself from falling.
] am satisfied that this cannot be true,
for if it We're, horse would very often
stumble when he broke, and horse in
the act Of breaking does not stumble;
on the contrary, he flares up with n
plunge and seems to lose control Of the
movements Of his legs for a few mo-
nients.


Some first-class trainers, again, will
tell you that Il horse when trotting very
fast loses confidence in himself and
breaks from fear of striking himself
Now If this were the case, the horse
would hitch and go awkwardly from
the moment he was forced into a fast
gait.


My theory is that the power of fast
trotting lies more in the brain than in
the muscle. And, when n horse under
the excitement of the whip increases his
speed above certain point, his brain
becomes unable to keep up with the
rapid continuous motion of the mus
cles. He loses control Of himself. He
Is unable to put his legs where he wants
them, and he goes into gallop because
that gait requires little or no exertion
of the brain. am almost satisfied in
my own mind that have hit upon the
true theory, and that horse should be
80 handled as not to lose confidence in
bis ability 10 do the work required OF
him. i should like very much to hear

In the hurry and hustle of life in our dealings with one an other, in talk with each other, and in all our transactions both of a business and soclal nature-it would perhaps be well for us, and have tendency to influence us to guage all our dealings by the standard of honor, if we would re- member that there Is mutuality of interests existing between man and man which cannot be out. ragged, without bringing sure det- triment to the whole.

 No one fixed and certain fact has been more fully demonstrated by the experience of all mankind than this principle of mutual in terests. It runs thro' every muta tion and sphere of life, and we cannot cvade it. We cannot live for self alone. It is the Vain at tempt to do this that causes "Man's inhumanity to man" tc make "conutlcss millions mourn,' ani which drives out from the

breasts of man that confidence in the integrity of his fellow man which is so vitally necessary to a truly prosperous condition of civ ilized society.

 It is the thorough comprehen- sion ofthis principle by the mass es and a true realization of the obligation man owes to his fellow man individually and in the az gregatc, which will finally inhu- ence all men to be honest. Any thing which will be an aid in eff fecting this must be welcomed as an agency for the good ofmankind. A universal education will have 9 stronger tendency to bring about the desired result than any other agency, because it will point to the higher duties deyolving upon each. Our future prosperity and standard of enlightenment de bends upon the fostering care given to our educational facilities.

 Fair and honest dealings, that  frankness and candor between man and man which will inspire a perfect confidence that there is DO advantage sought or gained, Is what is needed to render business transactions pleasant and easy, and would go far toward reyiving trade and increasing the volume of business transacted. And if men would only keep in mind this mutuality of interests and strive to build mp the whole while they are building up themselves, We certainly would have 6 astricter ad- herence to fair and honorable deal ings.
