THEMNNN TamS M a-wI xig 221 219 5 LOUIS APPELT, Editor. Wednesday, September 19, 1894. The editor of the Times has been reported to the postal authorities with vilifying and abusing the na tional administration. The columns of this paper never has contained abuse and vilification, unless express ing our views on the various public questions can be termed abuse. We have endeavored throughout our ed itorial career to be fair and just, writing nothing from a malicious spirit. If at any time we have gone beyond the limits of decent journal ism we were unconscious of the fact, and those taking offence at any of our editorial expressions would.have displayed a more manly spirit had they come to us and pointed out the offence instead of reporting the mat ter to the administration for the pur pose of having us removed from a lit tle position we hold under the gov ernment, and we will say that al though needing the little income from the post office, we would rather lose our little governmental position than to have our freedom of thought stifled. The Times will continue dis cussing public questions in the clear est manner it knows how, and we do not believe the "powers that be" will ever offer to choke us down. - The Times is a Democratic news paper, and it intends to in the future as it has in the past support Demo cratic measures. We believe in the supremacy of the white man, and we believe it is for the best interests of the people throughout the State that the present wrangling cease, but it will never cease as long as there are at tempts to disrupt the Democratic party by men who have their own selfish ends to gratify. Let the people alone and it will not be long before the faction al lines will be obljterated and we will have peace and happiness. We believe in the doctrines set forth in the national Democratic platform adopted at Chicago, but we contend that the party has not carried out its promises, and when we say so our enenuenarge us with vilifying the WaWTministratration. President Cleve land himself is guilty of vilification if we are, because in his letter to Representative Catchings, and we approve of what he wrote, he used stronger language against the nation -1 law-makers than we ever did. We say Congress did not give the people a tariff bill as promised in the Demo cratic platform, nor was its, financial legislationu satisfactory to a large number of the Democratic party. We also say that when Congress was dil -ly-dallying with the silver bill the * suspense from their long and pro tracted exhibition of endurance pow ers was damaging to the country and resulted in a panic the effects of -which is still felt. Is this abuse vilification't While we differ ith the administration on ce ques tions, we had the fairn to express our endorseme ose things that approval, and we did not hesitate to express our disapproval of a certain publication going the rounds of the press that we consid ered gratituous insults to the Chief Magistrate of the nation. No one took the pains to report this to head quarters, nor did they report our en dorsing the President's course in withholding his signature from the -tariff bill. Gov. Tillmnan has received an in vitation from a lecturing bureau ask ing him ifhe would consent to make a series of lectures in the North. The Governor says he is too busv to both er with lecturing. The Lonisiana sugar planters met in convention last Monday and adopted resolutions which puts them square into the Republican party. The -cause of their action was the action of Congress in the tariff legislation, which affected the sugar interests. A commission for a charter has been issued to the Farmers Basket - and Packing Company of Charleston. The corporstors named are W. H. Mixson, Louis Dunnemann and C. F. *Myers. The company proposes to operate a basket, barrel and wood ware factory on Shipyard Creek, near Charleston. The capital stock of the company will be $25,000. The great convention of the Con servative faction met last Monday night on schedule time, and after a preliminary caucus they decided not to nominate a State ticket at present, but to demand of the Democratic convention the repudiation of the Ocala demnands, and the declaration of loyalty to the national Democratic party. Of course we can not say *what the course of the Democratic convention which meets to-day will be, but we have no doubt but what that body will adopt such resolutions as will be satisfactory to the Democ racy. AN OBJECT LESSON. How Low Tariff Operates to increase Consumption. A few years ago, before the tariff was tak en off quinine, the retail druggist paid $4.50 for a case of 100 ounces, or $4.50 per ounce. He sold at S6, making $1.50 per ounce-333 per cent profit; or putting it up in dramn vials he sold it at $1 per dram, which is $8 per ounce, making $3.50 per ounce- 77 7-9 per cent profit. The tariff was removed from quinine; its manufacture flourishes, and the retail drug gist pays now only $36 per case or 36 cents per ounce. He sells at 50 cents to S1 per ounce, according to the manner of retail, making from 38 8-9 to 177 7-9 per cent profit-much more than before. We may be sure that thc manufacturer is not losing anything. Where he sold one ounce under the tariff he probably sells 100 or more now; and although he makes less per ounce, ho doubtless, like the retail drugit makes a much larger per cent. on his investment in quinne. The manufac -turer's capital is all in quinine; he must, therefore, be growing enormously wealthy, and much more .rapidly than when he manufactured under tariff restrictions, Could the retail druggist put all his capital in quinine and sell out promptly by the dram, he would soon become a millionaire; but his sales-he is such a numerous indi. vidual-are rather limited both in quantity and season, chill time coming generally, and fortunately, only once a year. The lesson drawn is this: While reduc. tion of tariff may largely diminish the cost to consumers, it, at the sane time, increas es the number of consumeiffor articles of prime necessity and general use, and so yields greater profit to manufacturers and middle men. In demanding a high tarifi for the protection of their goods, manufac turers of articles of prime necessity and ev ery day use stand greatly in their own light, In a community of a thousand families, A had better sell abundantly to all at a small profit rather than mark up his goods so high that he can only sell to ten house holds, depriving the nine hundred and ninety of the ability to bny his wares. See how well cheap e7ash houses do in the midst of many consumers. JoHn M. RIZcnipssOs, Daingerfield, Tex. August 16, 1894. Locanar, TxAs, Oct. 15, 189. Messrs. Paris Medicine Co., Paris, Tenn.

At the end of a long causeway crossing a. swamp I cape upo a squatter's cabin, with the himself seated croeslogged on a log and smoking his pipe. After the usual salutations he said: "Stranger, I burned my almana up by mistake two or three weeks ago and hev got sorter confused about dates. This is Monday, hain't itt" "No, this is Tuesday." "And hain't it the 7th of August?" "No, it's the 8th." "Stranger, are yo' pop suah 'bout this?" he exclaimed as he sprang up. "I am. Here's a pocket almanac, and you can see for yourself-T'ues day, the 8th." "It's Tuesday, the 8th, and just about noon.

Queer Outcome of a Panic In a Little Town In Washington. There was a "run" up at the little town of Hamilton, Wash., that ought to find its way into literature devot tod to queer things. Now, the ordinary "run" is gener erally confined to banks and is asso ciated with a long line of frantic peo ple and a bank president with pallid features, agitated nerves and a forced smile. Tho "run" in question was on a grocery store belonging to the Wash ington Red Cedar Shingle company. A "run" on a grocery store is about the funniest thing-for the proprie tor-that can happen. The filer of the mill on the morn ing of the "run," to use a local phrase, "yumped his yob" and want ed his cash before pay day, contrary to the rules and regulations made and provided. The mill owners, making up their minds to disoouraae this habit of their men leaving them in a lurch, refused to pay the disconsolate filer until pay day. The filer thereupon filed an attach ment on shingles of the company, and this caused the "run." Witbmi, looking into the situation local ,red itors and millhands commenced a "run" on the company's grocery store, with the object of taking out their wages and debts in lard, dried apples, sirup, tobacco, .howchow, bacon and other necessaries of life. The clerk, who had been dozing behind the counter, jum ped four feet in the air when the door opened and half a dozen brawny, wild eyed shin gle weavers appeared. Bringing up the rear was a crowd of laborers all clamoring for groceries. Soon it became apparent that the clerk could not tie up the packages fast enough, and he told the crowd to help themselves while he checked up the goods. When Manager Bordman returned in the evening from the woods, whither he had gone after a supply of logs, the clerk was lying exhaust ed across an empty pickle barrel, and the store had the appearance of the last act of a cyclone. When the clerk recovered, he in formed Bordman of the "run," and Bordman laughed long and loud. While he was surveying the wreck in came a drummer for a Seattle grocery house and mildly inquired if anything was wanted. Bordman looked queerly at the drummer, laughed and pointed to the empty shelves. The drummer knew his business. and that night he carried the largest order of the month to Seattle. Be fore morning Bordman had dis charged all liens, and the mill was started up as usual.-Puget Sound Lumberman. Disadvantages of an Even Temper. It is usual to envy the even tem pered people-those who are never unduly elated or cast down, who "knit on plain" all the time. If one likes that sort of thing, it would be equally natural to envy the animals --cows and pigs, for instance-whose serenity is seldom disturbed. For mypltin k tgeventempered js6ple lose nine-tenths of the pleas ure of existence. The depths of grief and gloom into which impulsive peo ple are thrown are amply made up for by the equally unreasonable and unreasoning joy into which they spring at the slightest possible ex cuse, and the sorrow of a quarrel with a dear one is paid for in the de light of "making up." Parents are very apt to impress on their children the beauty of this even disposition, but so far aslIcan see the only ben efit derived from it is an unwrinkled complexion.-Donaoe's Magazine. Ostrich Prospectors. Several wild turkeys that had a love for swallowing shining parti les had been shot by a hunter on one of the branches near SanDiego, Tex., and netted him quite a handsome sum in gold, which he found in their raws, and which they had pickedup. n South Africa ostriches have been successfully employed in finding gold deposits. A drove of birds areturned loose to feed in the territory where the precious metal is supposed to ex ist. They are then given an emetic, and the ejecta carefully examined for nuggets, and if any are found the trail of the bird is followed until the diggings are discovered.-Ex hange._ _ _ _ High culture. A lady of no little culture and re finement upon whom we were once making an afternoon call suddenly interrupted the conversation by ad dressing her little daughter thus, 'Ethel, dear, get up off that rug this minute, do!" "Why, mamma?" innocently asked the child, with round eyed wonder. "Why?" returned the mother. "Don't you see? Your dress is pink, and that rug is decidedly crimson, and I cannot endure such a combina tion of hues. Get up, please." The child slowly rose, and the world moved on.-Boston Courier.

"Miss Jobsozn," said the teacher at the high school, "decline love." The maiden looked out of the win dow, and as her blue eyes roved over 0 street a blush mantled her fair cheek. She was silent. "Proceed, Miss Jobsola," contigued the fair pedagogue, with seve~ity. Miss Jobson began to gather up her books. "I could do it last year, Miss Black board," she remarked determinedly, "but you must remember I was at Asbuy Park all summer, and things are different" And as she floated out of the r-oom she arranged her frizzes so that ev ry girl could see what she wore on the third finger of her left hand.
