p.# do cot know who wrote it, hut that if
a powerful, comprehende nnd accurate iodictmeiit
of Tillmanisro contained in the
address of the Industrial and M'ugc Earners'
Democratic Lcaguo' Wo
'ienounce tho inconsistency of the
so-callod reform party which, proclaiming
saUries too large omit? to reduce them ;
declaiing taxes too high, increases them ;
professiug opposition to monopoly, conspires
to make the State a monopoly; preaching
prohibition, legislates <lie State itself into a
rum seller.
I'bcrc is not a possible opeuiog for a pica
of "net guily" to any of these counts. All
are from the records.?fjr*utvillc Xtict
< 'ot Mr.v Ni wsrivrna.?Although country
editors are nearly always poor, tb<ne
arc plenty of porsvus who belioTe that half
the paragraphs iu a country newspaper ore
paid lor with enormous bribot. There are
always two sides to every question, and
whichever side au editor fells on, the partisans
of the other accuse him of being
"bought." It is little wonder, therefore,
that the editor is seldom a popular tuau : I
never knew one who was, and I ucver knew
occ who wa? not oiien accused unjustly.
Probably the peuplo believe iu bribes to
v-siit/sa i/vbauso iv is u KI j lan ?nv
d 'e." not accuse his opponent of being a
bribe faker. creating a prejudice against
thointuives and their calling. Lazy and i
iicompetcut editor* nearly always explain
tbo success of tbeir more rigorous opponents
by declaring that they carry on a system of
black-mail. I once visited a large city, the
newspapers of which I had long admired
almost with reverence, and 1 was turprised
to hear a citizen say that what the city
roilly needed was better papers; they
weuld bring "eustsru capital." Every citizen
of a couutry town wants his locality
"boomed," to (be end that he may sell his
fifty dollar lot for the hundrcl; he can
appreciate bow a really gosd paper might
aid him in this, and because his lot docs uot
advance in value as he thinks it should, lie
has a grievance against the editor, lie
longs for an editor with some "soap" in him.
I don't know what "snap ' means.but I koow
this is the quality usually thought to be
Jacking. There are more great men in every
country town than really exist in the nation,
and if they are net recognized, the local
papers arc of no account, I was once bctb?
csd u good deal by a certain man who said
he could clsan more chickens in an hour

this greatness, thsj arc told tbnt tboiv columns

when a citizen of a country tot?u becomes

About seven o'clock Saturday evening
i*?t, the pent depot and telegraph office here
wns d:?corered ou fire, and in a short while
tho building was burned to the ground, with
nil 'ho telegraphic instruments, nni the
tickets be'onging to tho office. The bag??ge
roern alsv burned, but the b'iggago was
eaved. Mr. W. S. Smith, the clever and
efficient o; crator, soon had tho wires connected
and messuges of the fire wore in at
head<-|uait?ia within two hours uftor the fire.
The bu ldiug was covered by insurance.
Tho fire is supposed to have originated in a
defective pipe of the stove. The telegraph
office is now in the dinner house temporarily.
But for tho sprinkling of the freight
depot with tiio fire engine and most favorable
winds, it might have proved a very
. destructive fire to the entire town. There
was about 50if bales of colfop within J00
yards of the fire, but uot a bale was scorchi
