THE DARLINGTON NEWS. THURSDAY, FBB 18, 1886. VKVOIVALI) D EVAMS, SUITOR. ftATM* BABAf rWL miTlfliV*. Bererml of oar osehaagM are m»k ing forecast! as to the next election commenting on “ring lale,” “farm eHscandidate” and “new deals.” As long as the present form ot govern ment stands and two or more great political parties exist, there will always be what the “oats” call a ring. This ring, so called, ensures the safety of the party daring the time between elections, and when the ring ceases, the party goes oat of power. It was the Hampton ring which defeated the Chamberlain ring, nod it ia the State and Nation al Democratic rings which placed Cleveland in tbs Presidential chair That there have been several errors made by the “Colombia ring,” as someof onr editors call it, ia true, bat these mistakes will always happen, and are made by the wisest and best men. The trouble does not come from these errors, bat from that characteristic of many of mankind, ambition, and an inordinate desire for pablio honors. This desire is commendable in as much as it acta as a regulator ot I be conduct of those who are Intrusted with the powers of government, and so far is benefi cial to a State; bat when this de sire, clothing itself order the garb of patriotism, nrges forward the office-seeker touae any and all means to seenre his ends, then it should be eondemaed by all good people. We very much fear that tbs tendency M present ia to mistake the latter phase of this desire, for lore of State Much has been said of class legisla tion, bat the tendency of some of oar people is towards class legisla tion in one of its worst forma. The effort to fores the State to the expense of a eensna, was the np- coantry against the low-country The “Agricultural Moses” boom is I intended to array the farmers of the State, as a class, against all oth er trades and professions, and can lead to no good. The new Moses is said to be a hard working, soocess ful farmer, bat we doabt If that fact alone fits him for the office of Gov ernor. In some counties, the convention or primary system is already being discussed; in others legislative can didates are si ready getting in their work, and the fitness of certain men for State offices is being moot ed. All of this work at this early data doss more barm than good. A politieal campaign should be abort, •harp and decisive. Oar people have a long spring and summer of hard work before them, and have no time to waste on those who, in* •tend of showing their patriotism and love of their fellow-men by ad ding their quota of honest toil to the welfare of the State, are going about seeking for office. We do not know how it is in other counties, bat the farmers of Darlington ean make their erope and then have time to take ears of their interests in the Stats Government. that Mr. Plowdeep h*»s raised a 600 lb. bog, than to read of a scandal; suit in Omaha. The Qaxette baa the correct idea, and if the editor literally means to write articles on cabbage culture, we will be pleased to reprint them in our agricultural department. Gen. W. S Haucock died at his residence on Governor’s. Island at 2.35 in the afternoon of February 9, at the age of 62. Hisdea^h was the result of a malignant carbuncle on the back of his neck, w hich confin ed him to his l*ed for several days. No serious alarm was fell, however, until shortly before be expired. He is best known to most of onr read ers as the Democratic candidate for President in the campaign of 1880, against Garfield. His funeral took place at Norristown, Pa., on Satur day. Irt What It lr (W»lhalls Courier.) Bow few |>eople seem to know, says tbe Berkeley Oatetie, wbat it costa to “run” a newspaper, This Cabbages, Leas PalKtm M lf tbe editors o( some of onr ex changes would devote more time and talent to nrtiolea on cabbage ealture, and k as on editorials on on tbe Presidential aueoeasion bill and tbe monetary problem, they would find tbe subject better fitted to their calibre.” This from tbe Berkeley Gazette is good advice and eootnios much troth. The disponitioo of the over age men ia to atrive after tbe unat tainable, and as every editor ex pects to be either President or Groe- •as, it is bat natantl that tbeir thoughts should ran in tbe direc tion of their ambition. Yet all men do not dsalra tbe same reward, thus the Berkeley brother seems to sim at being a second Horace Greeley, and will thus tell his sabaoribera wbat be knows about farming, oth er brethren with the Presidential, Gabernathmal, or Legislative bee la tbeii bonnets give long editorials on ‘-ring rale,” Democratic extrav agance, political oppression, une qual representation, and unjnst tax ation. Others show what they know and don’t know about tbs Mi ner bill nod the tariff, and ou these several subjects the Naws, not to be odd, boa vectored some occasional remarks. While, aa a general thing, tbe average coantry editor does the bant be can for bia readers, yet the idea of the Gazette ia a good one, taking “caboage culture* as a syno nym for those industrial parsuits which tend to the development ot the several counties. There is too politics and sensational news ia amny of onr journals, and ant enough attention pnM to what ia going on at homo. It is modi interesting to the general era of oonnty papers to hear is an ejaculation often beard in newspaper offices after tbe depar ture of somebody who bas tried to confiscate a paper, or get in a puff of somebody ou the strength of old friendship or some imaginary reason equally as strong. By some unaccountable misappre hension of facts there is a large clam of people in tbe world who think that it costa little or nothing to “run” a newspaper, and that if they boy a copy when too far from tbe office to come and beg one, they are regular patrons, and entitled to nuiimited favors. Men call fre quently at oewspa|»er offices to get a copy of tbe paper just from press, for aotbing, who would never dream of begging a pocket-handkerchief from a dry-goods store, an apple from n trait-stand, or a piece of con- dy from a confectioner, even upon tbe plea of old acquaintance or hav ing bought aometbiog once before. One paper is not much, bat one hundred a week amoauta to some thing in course of time. Bat this is a small drain com pared with tbe free advertising a newspaper is expected to do. Some men who have paid two dollars at an early period in life for an silver tisement worth fear or five, appear to think they are st:>ckboldeni in tbe establishment for eternity. They demand tbe pnblioatiou of all marriages and fnuerai notices, obituaries and family episodes for tbe next forty years gratis. Speak of pay and they grow indignant. ‘‘Don’t I patronize your paper T” “Yea, bat yon receive tbe worth of your money for what you pay.” “Bat,” says tbe patron, “it will not cost yon anything to pat this in,” which is just as ridiculous as to ask a man to griod your axe on his grindstone, and graciously tell him that it won’t cost him a cent It takes money to “run” a news paper, as well as any other busk ness, and do paper will succeed financially that carries a dead head Aystem. Any mention ol the )>eo- ple’s affairs that they are anxious to see in print is worth paying for, and when printed is gene ally as beneficial as any other iuvestmei t of tbe same amount. Tbe newspaper business is very exacting ou all connected with it, and tbe pay ia comparatively small; tbe proprietora risk more money tor small profits, and tbe editors and re porters and typos work harder and cheaper than the same number ot meu iu any other profession requir ing tbe same amount of intelligence and training and drudgery. Tbe life baa its charms, and its pleasautaasoeiatiousacaroely known by tbe dutaide world; but it bas its earnest work and anxieties and hours of exhaustion, which likewise are not known to those who think the business all fun. Tbe idea that newspaperdom ia a charmed circle where the favored members live a life of ease and free from care, and go to the various places of amuse meet at night, ou a free ticket, and to tbe springs on a free pass iu the summer, ia au idea which «e desire to exp ode practically and theoretic ally. • “Business is badness,” and the journal that succeeds ia the one that ia “ruu” ou a square ousiuess foot ing. the same aa banking or build ing bridges, keeping a hotel or “running” a livery stable.

Tbe bell Telephone monopoly is regarded as one of tbe most greedy and insatiable of any in existence. It is alleged that tbe patent was obtained by fraud and iu order to decide tbe matter its validity will be tested before the Supreme Court. To distract tbe atleutiou of the read ing public, tbe Bell people are rais ing a tremeud< us bue and cry against Secretary Lamar and At torney-General Garland for alleged oorrupt practices. Newspapers like tbe World, the 8uu and the Tribune of New York, whose main object seems to he to prejudice the people against President Cleveland’s ad ministration, are filled with col ons of abase diiected towards those two cabinet officers, all of which go to show that tbe Bell Com pany are afraid of a judicial loves tigation.
