SATURDAY JANUARY 6, 1900. th

This is campaign year. Almost ni
every officer front President of tr
these United States down to T
coroner is to he voted for. Any tr
one contemplating becoming a H(
candidate for any connty office ci
will do well to -paste the follow tl
ing in his hat: *>
' Our platform shall he, the ai
i>e?t man for each office, regard^ ^
lea* of section, religion or preri- ^
ou-t affiliation or position as to
county division or any other queslion
llmt u dead and ought to he oi
buried.'' ? Kock Llill Herald. ci
The Yorkville Enquirer hearti- tl
iv subscribes to what The Herald rr
sa? ?, and adds: v
'Wecertain!v will not vote for 11
any man who deliberately seeks
toiai-ethe denominational issue
or t ? provoke atrife among the ...
churches. We car but regard i
such people as firebrands of the . c<
worst and most dangoreua type, ai
and a menace to the peace and hi
happiness of the community. But j B|
I here is another thing that must
be looked into. Some of these
politicians, when not clos ?'r.
watched, sometimes enter into n
corrupt trades that breed corrup- h
tion. We have it straight that a f(
eorruptson breeding trade wasen- p
to red into during the last cam- j
|)ain between certain candidates
:md a certain cliqua of spoils hunt- r<
ing politicians, and that the conn- ai
tv is now suffering from the car- q
lying out of the provisionsof this h
trade We are against spoilsmen, jB
as candidates or as officers, and not
only are we against epoi'8men;but
we ?re against candidates and of- ^
licials who affiliate with spoilsmen, tfc
whetlier the office involved be
coroner or congress."
There is another class of |>oli? i
ticians to be against, overlooked
by our esteemed contempoiaries,
and that is ?he condidate who
cc
socks to bo elected by lying on i

The Boers in South Africa nre

is right or wrong, it is a fact ^
lat the inferior race, or the peo
le who stand against the develop- o
ent of a country, invariably are ?
odden under foot or driven out. /
he Boers themselves have illus- c
ated the truth of this, in their, t
abjection of the land they oc- I
ipy. The land whs occupied by f
le Kaftiis and Zulus. These h
ivages would not till the ground, p
