Tbe Review with whoop and hurrah shouts lustily for its bantam ticket. It is composed, it says, of "men worthy and well qualified, men of irreproachable character, men of strict integrity," etc. Very well, be it so. Wo will not now undertake to dispute it. The Plain- dealer is reliably informed that there are two A. P. A. candidates on the He- view's ticket, and three more have ap plied for initiation iuto the order at the next council meeting. The enlightened people of this age are engaged in an irrepressible conflict of opinions, ltieyarc passing tiirougii a transition state. Long entertained opinions arc being assayed in the cruci ble of deep thought. Old and effete opinions are slowly giving way to the new. Science is exposing dogmatic theses to the calcium light of reason Error is being laid bare by th power of independent thought. The world of in vestigation moves with irresis table tread. No power can stav it. some one elce'a benefit, and that fact has been acknowledged by several cf Mr. Agce's friends. In fact, two men with whom we convereed on tho subject said : "Ben Ageo is the only man we can elect, and he will find some one to do the busi ness," or words to that effect. Iu short it was common talk on tbe streets for Ecveral days before the democratic nomi nation, when it was reported that Mr. Ageo had refused to accept it, the party managers said determinedly; "Ben must accept; he is the only man we can elect." The views thus stated go to show that tbe democracy of Douglas county has de parted from its boasted Jeffersonian doc trine, that ability to perforin the dnties of the office is one of its cardinal princi ples. The Review says, "when the time comes, that gentleman will take the mat ter into bis own hands." Yes, wben the time comes. But there's the rub. 117ie;i tho time comes. The Review should have said: Wben Mr. Agee is elected. vancement. Reconciliation between la bor and capital is tbe burning question of tbe hour. NOTES OF INTEREST. The "regular democrats," as the Re view terms the old "ring" factionofhe party, havo done more to array opposi tion to it by a swing of the party lash than could poasiuly be accomplished by their republican opponents. The party's action at the primaries, and continued at the county convention, plainly demon strated that boss rule was in fnll force. By the keen snaps of tho party lash many of the friends of Mr. Dillard were given to understand that they must stand in. Some stood in but many stood out, and tbe polls next June will show that tbe Australian ballot system is their only safeguard against trickery. Democrats who have been the bone and ainue of the party by their devo tion to hewing the wood and drawing the water that has kept up tbe steam, for lo, thee many years, have come to the conclusion that the steam may go down, and the engine cease to turn the wheels so far as they are concerned. They are determined that they "will neither fish nor cut bait" for the old concern any longer, but will cast a line in the near future in the stream, where suckers do not abound. They have been fostering monoplies by their stand ing in with the lingsters till they are tired of it. They are tired of marching to the polls and voting for men to heap upon them a load of taxes for the monopolists to gather up. The city has been saddled with a debt of 45,000 in useless expenditures, and a contract to pay for ten years that cannot be revoked, for city lighting at rates higher than any other citv in tbe state. The county has lost several thousand dollars by a defaulting official, who was a pet of a ring rale faction,and to regain a portion of which the connty was at the expense of a costly law suit and the great annoyance of the bondsman. The old ring rule party held down the sheriffalty for S years under the fee sys tern which put thousands cf dollars into the sheriffs pockets over and above a reasonable salary. The republican party changed this fee system to that of a salaried one, thus saving to the county every vear Eeveral thousands of dollars. Last Thursday we henrd five different republicans make the declaration that there is no republican party in las." Review. If tbe declaration of these five different eore-head republicans conveys consola tion to the Review and raises its hopes to such a pitch that it predicts "the dem ocratic ticket will be triumphant in the coming election," what a surprise is in storo for it when the ballots are counted. The Review will find that the "five diff erent sore-heads," who confided to it their tale of woe, are not an addition to their ranks that' even democrats can be proud of, and that tbe republican party is better off without than with them. We are always in the Lead, and mean to keep there. itifiicitfliciacaeiei90Kas0B9B0i The Golden Harvest is upon ni, and farnv IS J B ITZ E R Poultry, Ft nil and Gnnic, In Season. loots to their interest.

James Byron, in tho Review, that he is willing to "carry tho bauner of any sect, Christain, Jew or infidel iu a fight to a finish for religious toleration." To that sentiment we say utuen. The Plaindeallii will enroll under any bau ner to fight for religious toleration, let it bo borne by whatsoever party it may, if ion, all from such a contingency should ever ari?e. The Pljundealek contends for a com plete and eternal separation of chuich and state, with laws gurantceing the right to worship God or mammon according to dictates of conscience. If need bo we would as quick take up arms to Cefeud a a Catholic's rights as for i Presbyterian, Methodist or any other ecct, and none Value of Opinions. Mr. Kennedy, the very affable and able minister of the M. E. church of this city, preached a strong sermon Sunday evening last, from the words of Jesus: "CaujA not discern the signs of the times?" Mr. Kennedy said opinions are Doug- i good for nothing unless backed up by authority, which, as appeared from the general tenor of his discourse, must be from i he recognized authority of some author, such as historical statements by recognized authority, and cited the Bible sa his authority for his opinions From Mr. Kennedy's standpoint of biblical authority he argued forcibly But is not Mr. Kennedy aware that there are many opinions at variance with his which are based upon the scriptnres? Not mentioning others than the Catholic and protestants, we discover a material difference in many important points. ! The Catholic appeals to the same author- states , ity. Toe soundness and tennability of each faith depends upon the inherent truthfulness of tho opinions deduced from the same authority. Mr. Kenaedy and his school of theists haye an opinion as to the teachings of scripture, while the Catholics maintain an adverse opin- the same authority.

Bicker of Gardiner is in town today, Sunday. The political pot is simmering softly at present, having boiled oyer at the -recent convention. A. L. Mcon's store was broken into Tuesday night by some unknown person. A quarter of a cheese, several cans of oysters, some crackera and several plugs of tobacco were all that could be missed. The thief broke into tbe money drawer but got nothing. Our city marshal, assisted by B, M. Capps captured two house breakers here Friday night. One, a colored gent, who gayo bis name as John Stewart, and a boy 16 years old, who gaye bis oame as James O'Donnel. It seems that they broke into the section Chinamen's house at Oaklank and helped themselves to what they could find, and on Friday broke into B. M. Capts' houEe at Rice Hill and stole a revolver and some cloth ing. Wli n arrested here, tue boy had on a vest, cravat and scarf pin belonging to Mr. Capps. The prisoners had a pre liminary hearing in the justice court here, Saturday, and James O'Donnel was held to answer in tbe sum of $500. There being no evidence against tbe col ored gent, he was discharged, but was immediately arrested by Constable .Med ley of Oakland and taken to that city where he will be called upon to explain how be came in possession of the China men's goods found on him when arrested. If I tbe less defend that of an infidel or athe ist; because it would bo in defense of a great and vitnl principle which wo hold dearer than any other principle in our government we mean perfect liberty of conscience. What is authority for one, is not suffi cient for the other. Even theories based upon known absolute facts often give rise to different opinions amongour most pro found thinkers. The correctness of an opinion depends upon the demonstrated truths' upon which that opinion is based, with the mind free to chose which it will accept. A thousand and one opinions may be entertained by intelligent people regarding any ism, faith or dogma in re ligion or any governmental theory pre sented to the human mind for content' plation. Authority, however eminent, settles nothing as to absolute truth. The Review of Monday, tho 13th, says "The Plaindealek is opening its broad side of campaign lies" by Etating "that Mr. Ageo is not really running for office." The Plainuealeu never sai.l any eucli thing. On tho contrary, the Plain- DLWLEitsaid that Mr. Agee is ruuniug on "the supposition that he is a vote cap turer, not for his cxeautiyo ability." That is what tho Pl.unucalkk said. While Mr. Agee, personally, is a man of good staudiog as a neighbor, mid one tbe Plaisdealeii esteems as such, it is conceded by several of bis patty friends that, while ho is a good farmer aud fruit culturist, ho is not fitted for such duties as sheriff. Ttfis opinion is drawn from tho facts in tbe case while ho held the office for four years. The Plainuealeu does not charge Mr. Agee with default ing, not by any means, but mentioned that fact his want of executivo ability as tending to show that the party is run ning him for tho purpose, chiefly, catching votes lo secure the office for tioni.iug along tho lines of industrial ad- Labor and Capital. The conflict between labor and capi tal must bo settled, for if it continue, it will prove suicidal to both. Labor must be up and doing while the day lasts. It must work out its own salvation in the industrial world if it expectB to bo saved, for if labor hesitate too long, tho bells may toll its funeral notes. Workingmen must try and accomplish those things for which they have for years been fight ing.
