There can be no sort of doubt that politics, as expressed in the coming con gressional and national campaigns, will be of the most rabid character, and all lengths of aggression resorted to. The most significant element of the great and bitter turmoil to come, is found in the labor fight put up in Maine, as against the re-election of Congressman Littlefield. Xo matter what the issue in -that case, union labor will be the dominant aggressor; in the future; from sense of elation, if it shall win that fight; from a sense of desperation, if it hall lose, And an united labor more ment in this country (if its leaders can hold it in line), will be a tremendous factor hitherto unengaged by the politic ians of the country. There need be no mistake made about it; it is worth the earnest and wise study of every man with partisan responsibility, and the sooner it is met and placated the bet ter. There are base of compromise that may be adapted to the situation that will be infinitely more effective than an overwhelming defeat through the unes- timated successes liable to accrue to such a banded vote. The supreme danger of success in the labor ranks is the lack of discretion in the subsequent handling of its prestige. There are wise and reliable leaders in the midst of the organized workmen of the United States who may be relied on to give sensible and cautious advice, but they are far too few to be effective in directing the immense latitude of ac countability that must follow anything like general success; and without such restraining forces to check it, union la bor in the official saddle will do some startling things in the way of admin istration. It is all well enough to de clare the prospect free from such en tanglements, but it is wiser to consider them before they fructify, and make such arrangements as will minify the possible evils that shall unexpectedly arise in the conflict. To pre-suppose trouble in this relation is justifiable in the light of all that is known of the tendencies of the laborite when he has to handle strange and momentous pow ers, and if there were nothing else to consider in this immense premise, this, alone is enough to invoke the best and most powerful intelligence and energy in the country, to counteract. o , ALL "DEVILS" MUST GO. The National Bill Posters' Association has dealt the proprietor of hades a solar plexus blow. Devils in all forms, wheth er the bright red orthodox products with hoofs, horns and tails or the more re fined creations in evening dress are to be eliminated from advertising matter distributed by the association. The rea son for the attack is not clearly stated, the strongest count being that such pictures suggest evil. o .

NEW DEPARTURE IN MILLING. The launching of a tbree-niUtion-foot raft of raw loge upon the high seas for tranaportatiiin to the southern coast of Cahforiuit, there to 1 milled ami sold merchantable lumber, by tho Pencon lowing Company, of thU county, is a new and remarkable de part ur In the lumbering annals of thv raoirle Coast, and an economic move ment, its ellioacy is yet to be deter mined, though, theoretically, it ha much to commend it. This week will see the initial movement, in the voyage hence, of the first raft to San Diego, and if it be proven that the W inav be rafted 1300 miles at sea and then milled and marketed at an increased profit, the howl of the common patron of that market, is liable to be heard through the length and breadth of the land, at what he will, logically, declare to be an extortionate cost to him, of a stapb commodity. The results will be watch ed with close and intense interest throughout the country at large. o HIS DAUGHTER. A gentleman who was onoe stopped by ah old man begging replied, "Don't you know, my man, that fortune knock once at every man's door!" "Yes." said the old man, "he knockel at my dour once, but I was out, and ever since then he has sent hi daugh ter." "His daughter?" replied the gentle man. "What do you mean!" "Why, Miss Fortune." o oooooooooooooooooo O IMTORAL SALAD. 0 OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO The End of the World of troubles that robbed E. H. Wolf of Bear Grove, la., of all usefulness, came when he began taking Electric Bitter. He writes!

Thus a statistician has esti mated that it eostg $2.50 to save a soul by the revival system in Chicago and only 25 cents to rescue a siner in At lanta, Ga. The marked difference in cost will doubtless be accounted for in dif ferent ways by different people. We venture to say, at any rate, that if it costs ten times as much to save a Chicagoan as to redeem an Atlantan the respective cost is proportionate to the result achieved. A "converted" Chi cagoan is a mighty power for right eousness. o We are pleased to see so many of our citizens taking pride in their homes. The word "home," next to that of "mother," U the greatest ever uttered by human tongue. What a refuge the home is when the darkness gathers! How glad one is to get a glimpse of home when time and space have sepa rated him from it if even but for a brief period! There seems to be a good natured rivalry here in an effort to make "pur home" look a little neater and thus be the more inviting to the occupants than all others. Such rivalry is certainly pardonable. o It is announced at the postoffice de partment in Washington that in return for the vast sums of money expended in maintaining rural free delivery and the inestimable results derived through it, the patrons of the service are desired to do but two things, to provide them selves with suitable boxes which are weather proof and fit receptacles for mail, not necessarily boxes which are patented, and to maintain the roads over which rural routes are laid out, in condition to be traveled with facility and safety at all seasons of the year. o ' Lady Curzon is said to have loved India, in spite of the responsibilities there; to have loved its Oriental fasci nation and the bracing height of Simla, where the court removed in the sum mer, and which proved so healthful for her children that she was able to keep them with her, instead of sending them away from her to England, as the wives of some officials in India have to do. APFE Often a person is sized up by his appear ance; by the tone that surrounds him. And more often a business house is sized up by the stationary it uses. . A cheap letter, head or a poor bill head gives a mighty poor first impression and makes business harder to transact. Good printing costs no more than poor printing. The first im pression is half the battle in business. You wouldn't employ a "sloppy" sales man; why put up with "sloppy" station ery, that gives a wrong impression of the importance of your business. Let us do your printing and help you to make that ten strike. The J. S. Dellingei Co.
