tFI7FLNO

OF TLOI*LM(Y

ton last Friday afternoon. The general sentiment seems to be against the government there. As the South Carolinians were the original nulliiers and rebels and never did believe in the enforcement of a law that did not please them, we are not surprised. Governor Tiilinan is in the right, and should enforce the law, even if the South Carolinians do not believe in Sumptuary legislation. If the law is bad, repeal it.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND'S Chicago portmaster, Wash Hesing, makes this humiliating confession of the utter worthlessness of the Democratic party in the course of a long editorial in liis paper, the Staats Zeitung:

O Democracy, how art thou fallen! The Democrats of to-day are a sorry looking crowd. Two years ago Democracy, sanguiue of victory and joyous with hope went about with strutting gait and haughty mien to-day she totters in rags aud dejection. Her most prominent Senatois and Representatives stand before the world as nothing better than detestable spectators and traitors to the principles of their platform. All they have accomplished may be characterized by one woi d—failure.

Wash is no sore head. He drew the capital prize in the lottery of Democratic politics in Chicago but he is mightily ashamed of the record of the Democratic party and well he may be.

DAN VOORHEES is said to have prepar the speech of his life and delivered in the senatorial tariff debate. The marked feature of the speech is the attack on Wall street and the national banking system. These defenseless objects of senatorial wrath come in for an entirely new set of epithets more forcible and expressive, in the Senator's judgment, than those he made use of in the repeal speech. Dau Voorhees howling against trusts and monopolies is sheer hypocrisy and demagogue ism be talks that way in the Senate and to Hoosier suckers here at home when he is on the stump, but when it comes to voting Vorhees is the tool of the trusts. Just recently, he sngineered the deal that if it finally passes, will make $20,000,000 for the whiskey trust. Dan Voorhees is a demagogue of the rankest kind and just now is being condemned and denounced by Governor Matthews, Secretary of State Myers, a majority of the Indiana congressmen, the Indianapolis Sentinel and numerous county Democrat papers. Voorhees is only a reformer with his mouth.

Pitliy, Pointed and Pertinent, According to Col. Breckenridge 'twas merely a modern version of Shakespeare's Venus and Adonis.

The Republican who puts up a nickel with the expectation of carrying Alabama is, in sporting parlanca, a "sucker."

Coxey and his deluded followers are not the first men to discover that the road to Washington is a hard one to travel.

Congressman Breckenridge's plea, that he was led astray by Miss Pollard, may possibly be true, but it certainly isn't plausible.

The woman who deserves the sympathy of all, in connection with the Brecken-ridge-Pollard scandal, is the present Mrs. Breckenridge.

At last the trimming of Senator Brice on the silver and tariff question is accounted for he has up a Presidential lightning rod.

Congress will have to hump itself to keep public attention, now that the circus season has opened and the base ball season is only three weeks away.

President Peixoto, of Brazil, appears to be quite as blood-thirsty as Mrs. Dominis, of Hawaii, was when Minister Willis was dangling a battered crown before her eyes.

Secretary Herbert is said to have been snubbed by Mr. Cleveland at a recent cabinet meeting. He isn't likely to resign, however $8,000 positions are not plentiful in Alabama.

As long as our newspapers print the entire testimony in such cases as that against Congressman Breckenridge Americans have no right to throw stones at Zola, the French novelist. Zola never wrote any thing as dirty as that testimony.

It would be just as well for some people to remember that a cause which cannot win success in this country without invoking sectionalism isn't worthy

succeeding, and, what is more to the point, wiil not permanently succeed. Senator Hill and Gorman are said to be jealous of the boom

Vice President

Stevenson. Tut, tut, boys, why this foolishness? Don' you know that the Democratic nomination in '96 will be a very empty honor, not worth losing your tempers for?

One of the unanswerable conundrums is why the real estate agent is so darned anxious to sell you the property which ha knows will double its valae within a year. Why doesn't he borrow money at six, or even ten per cent, and buy it himself?

Congressman Beltzhoover, of Pennsylvania, a democrat, told his constituents: "There are many iniquities in the tariff bill, and I tried my best to correct some of them, but the free traders fairly howled at me and had I persisted would, I believe, have mobbed me." What a charming measure this tariff bill is, anyway.

With all its other faults, and they are certainly numerous enough, we cannot believe that the administration will allow Great Britain to acquire possession

of an

island that will practically command the mouth

the Nicaragua canal, and which

the United States had selected as a coaling station, although it is reported to have been done.

THE SHEPHtKD'S LAMENT. Written for the REPUBLICAN.

Backward, turn baokward, Oh Time in your ilight Mate "Little Ben" president, just for to-night Harrison, come back from California's green shore

Take up the "pen" again as of yore. Lift from the people these burdens of care O, will you return to the president's chair Ever protect, and o'er ns a loving watch keep

For ''free trade" is killing, yes killing our sheep

Backward, flow backwad, O tide of years! We are so weary of toils and of tears Toils without recompense tears all in vain v, return and give us protection again. We have grown weary of dust and decay,

Weary of flinging our life time away Weary of sowing for others to reap "Freet trade" is a fraud and we'll bury it deep.

Tired of waiting and watching for something to do Harrison, oh Harrison we are calling for you. Many a summer the grass has grown green,

Blossomed and faded our faces between Yet with strong yearnings and passionate pain, Would but to-night you were president again Ruling the multitude now in the street,

For as they have sown so shall they reap.

Harrison, oh Harrison, the time seems so long Since cruel fate turned the tide wrong Return then, and unto our souls it shall seem

These wretched months have been but a dream Happily will throng the sweet visions of yore When this free trade woll has gone from outdoor Never hereafter for a man will we vote

Last Saturday the Assessors of this county met at the court house and fixed the following rates at which they would assess property i'or 1894. It will be seeu that figures are lowered somewhat from last year, as about everything has decreased in pi ice during these good old democratic times, especially the products of the farm, such as grain, cattle, horses, hogs, wool, poultry, etc. The following assessors were present, and all enjoyed a fine dinner with the county assessor, at the restaurant of M.

Municipal Ketorui, Or Better Government °or Cities.

The better government of cities is now one of the greatest questions of the day. Too long has partisanship run riet, and schemes, jobs and speculations have been foisted upou cities by designing, corrupt or ignorant officials. These things involve a direct financial loss to the citizens in the way of misapplied or fraudleutly used public funds, and are indirectly, but equally as great a loss through the shrinkage in the value of property because of the inefficency or mis management of the city officials.

This can all be changed by the union of all good, honorable upright citizens, who desire above all other things an efficient, upright thorough going business administration of their city's affairs. Mr. Herbert Welsh, a practical Municipal Relorm man says in the April Forum: "The present is tne era of a reform that, in view of the absurd extremes to which loyalty to party has carried men, urged good citizenship to rally to the defence of principle, as opposed to partisanship, and demands that all methods of political management essentially dishonest and unsound in nature be cast aside: a reform which calls for the destruction of machine politics, and ask that means be devised by which a different class of public men from that which the machine offers can be placed in public office. A higher standard of public service must be established and maintained if American institutions are to give us the practical benefits that their founders sought." "In approaching the question of good government in our municipalities we must exclude all discussion of national issues. The stronghold of the

boss

lies

in his power to separate good, men into two rival partisan camps, whereas there is no reason why they should not be united in a single body, fighting and working for a single end—the goad of the municipality. It seems astonishing that by so flimsy an expedient the engineers of the machine should be able to keep good citizens—and otherwise sensible men—perpetually quarreling among themselves, while they and their fellows capture the city."

The suggestions of Mr. Welsh are timely, and we should benefit by them right here in Greenfield. The citizens of Greenfield, who desire to

see

the afiairs

of the city honestly, economically and efficiently administered should vote for that man for Mayor

whose life, ch

iracter,

associates and every day conduct stamps him as the best man for the position. Put principle the welfare of your property, the educational, social and moral advantages of your children before partizaHship, and then vote for the best man for Mayor and every other office.

IS THIS PLAIN

If you buy any thing here ancl it is not exactly what it should be—if you are not satisfied tell us-we will make it satisfactory.

Our goods are all new,

fresh, of the best quality and

cirv GOVEIWUI'SNI:,

Shall We Not. Have si Change I'or the Better In Clreeiilield.

No doubt all the citizens of Greenfield desire that our city should have the best possible government, oue that will be for the best interests of all the people and bring the greatest good to the greatest number. Such being the case, then the proper thing to do is to elect a representative man and citizen Mayor. A man who is capable in every way, who has presence and character both at home and abroad to properly represent our city. People are generally supposed to pick a representative from among their best men for Mayor. Strangers coming here, size up the character of our city and our citizens by the impressions made upon them by our city officials. Let us then elect the best men who are offering for their respective positions Does Greenfield want to be represented by a successful pushing, energetic, moral, upright, scholarly gentleman, one who will administer the affairs of the city, in the interests of all the people aud not favor any jobbery, then vote for George W. Duncan for Mayor. Mr. Duncan favored the city ownership and control of water works, as it is now going in at $23,873, while Mayor Heiron, last year favored the Irwin proposition of the city, putting $25,000 into mains, etc., and giving O, C. Irwin & Co a twenty years franchise on the city, for all the revenue to be derived from private consumers and then buy their $7000 investment at a big price. Herron also favored extending the electric light franchise of Irwin & Co. three years more or eight years in all, and which by city ownership would light the city, at less thau half the present cost of $3700 per year. Whose interests did Herron have in mind, when he favored the Irwin proposition Vote against the man who was against the city's interest for the water works and electric light questions.

A llep ub lie an Wants Sa:n uel A. Wray

For .Judge.

Who will the Republicans nominate foj Judge of the Circuit Court is a question that is frequently heard since the late Democratic convention. Let me answer. Why not our young friend, Samuel A. Wray? Mr. Wray is a cio-e student and one of the successful young lawyer He is a good lawyer aud will fill the position with credit to himself and friends. With his well known push, energy and busimss capacity, it insures the prompt dispatch of all business under his charge. Mr. Wray never indulges in strong drink of any kind is courteous and gentlemanly with all. Never indulging in abuse of any one, because they do not believe as he does iu politics or religion. He is an active Republican, al ways in the front ranks of battle, yet has many warm friends in the Democratic party and is in perfect accord with all the members of his own party. We believe he will poll more votes than any other man we can nominate. The party owes Mr. Wray something for his past services and I know no better way to repay him than by nominating him for Judge of this county. What say you Republicans? SANDKRS W.

This is the only frame school house in. the township, and for a number of years the school has been one of the smallest in the county, aud a larger building was not deemed necessary, but within the last year the number of pupils have increased, and the term of school just ended has been one of the most interesting and successful terms that they have had for a number of years.

cracks.—It

often costs more to prepare a

house for repainting that has been painted in the first place with cheap ready-mixed paints, than it would to have painted it twice with strictly pure white lead, ground in pure linseed oil.

Strictly Pure ite Lead

forms a permanent base for repainting and never has to be burned or scraped off on account of scaling or cracking. It is always smooth and clean. To be sure of getting strictly pure white lead, purchase any of the following brands: "Anchor," "Southern," "Eckstein," "Red Seal," "Kentucky," "Collier."

FOR COLORS.—National Lead Co.'s Pure White Lead Tinting Colors, a one-pound can to a

25-pound

keg of Lead and mix your own

paints. Saves time and annoyance in matching shades, and insures the best pamt that it is possible to put on wood.

Send us a postal card and get our book on paints und color-card, free it will probably save you a good many dollars.
