Most people think the selection Of suit
able matter for a newspaper, the easiest
part of the business. How great an error.
To look over and over hundreds Of ex-
change papers weekly, from which to Sc
Iect enough for one, especially when the
question is not what shall, but shall not
be selected, is no very easy task. If every
person who reads a newspaper could have
edited it, we should have less complaints.
Not unfrequently is it the case that an
editor looks over all his exchange papers
for something interesting, and can find ab-
soiutely nothing.
Every paper is drier than a contribu-
ton box, and yet something must be had
his paper must be out with something
in it, and he does the best he can. To an
editor that has the least care as to what he
selects, the writing is the easiest part Of his
labor.
Every subscriber thinks the paper
printed for his own benefit, and if there is
nothing that suits him, it must be stopped
1t is good for nothing.
As many subscribers as an editor has,
so many tastes he has to consult.
One wants something very smart, and an
then something sound. One likes snuec-
dotes. fun and frOlic, and another wonders
that man Of sense will put such stuff in
his paper. Something spicy comes out
and the editor is a blackguard. Next
comes something argumentative and the
editor is a fool. And so between all, the
poor fellow gets terrible rnhbing. They
never reflect that what does not please
them viii please the next man.

Another War Wanted.

Longstreet says-"When man
talks about a new war, you may be
sure he did not fight in the last one"
If that is true (and it is true), the
editor of the Louisville Sentinel must
have been a long way out Of the fight.
He now makes the following noise:
..War is not pleasant thingto con-
template but war is preferable to
slavery. One or the other, Demo
Gratis of the Constitution, you must
choose.

Democrats mast fight !
"The people must rise in their pow

The Cheyenne Argus tells a very sad
tale of young man who recently died in
that city. He was a son of George Sher-
wood, a wealthy liquor merchant Of Buff
fiIo. New York. The bOv had been placed
by his parents at a college in -, from
which pIace-listening to the counsel OF
some cOmpaniOns-he was induced to
make his escape some few months since,
and go to JuIesburg, where he arrived in
destitute condition. There he accepted
the position as teamster in one of the
Wells, Fargo & Cos freight trains, bound
for one Of the government posts. HeSOOn
found himself in Cheyenne, and obtained
the position of bar-keeper. A few days
ago he was attacked with pneumonia,
which resulted in congestion Of the lungs,
His life being despaIred of, the doctors tel
egraphed to his father, informing him Of
the condition of his dying son, expecting
to see the afflicted father in Cheyenne in a
few davs. Within q hours they received
the following reply:
fhe dies, bury him-will pay expenses.
Collect IS so. GEORGE SHERWOOD.
This kind and tatherly message to the
unfortunate son, dying in hospital, was
sent subject to charges of IS so, which was
paid, and when the poor young gentleman
died, as he did two days afterwards, his
eyes were closed, and the last sad Offices
which can be performed for departed NOR
tality were executed by men who were
strangers to the poor lad, but were fyiends
of humanity; and, fortunately for the no
bic father of the forgotten boy, no funeral
expenses will be required Ofhim.

Heads and Tails.

Sundry hunters in the two counties
of Scott and Muscatine, in Iowa, have
devised a sharp game at the expense
of the local authorities. 1t appears
that in Scott county there is a bounty
paid upon the scalps of gophers,
while in Muscatine a similar pTemi-
um is given for the destruction Of
these animals upon exhibition of their
tails. The hunters of the two counties
therefore quietly fraternized, and by
simple system of friendly inter
change, made a double bounty from
each county on every head and tail
captured. The little game was de-
tected, and both heads and tails are
likely to lose.
A similar trick has been played in
Wisconsin, where large bounties for
lynx heads are paid by the State. 1t
was recently discovered that many of
these trophies bad been imported
from Canada. The bounties amount
ed to S25, 900 last year, and it is said
that a large part of this sum was
paid for the heads of lynxes which
were never seen alive outside of the
Canadian territory.

Greeubacks.

When the issuing of greenbacks to
carry on the war was first proposed,
the Democrats in Congress arrayed
themselves against the measure as
unconstitutional and Tuinous, and
this was the position the Democratic
party took in its Conventions and on
the stump. Now, however, they
propose an almost indefinite issue Of
these same greenbacks wherewith to
pay the national obligations. OppOs-
ed to the war, they were opposed to
providing the only means for car
ing it on. The war over, they are
opposed to the honest and complete
payment of the debt incurred by it.
Mr.. PendletOn, the coming man of
the party, was in Congress at the time
and took the anti-greenbacks side.-
That gentleman now, however, finds
| it convenient to champion them, as
the hobby whereOn he hopes to reach
the Presidency. The next step would
be to repudiate outright the green
backs.-CPittsburg Commercial.

The ReFenue Department.
THE PRESIDENT PROTECTING DISHONEST

The ReFenue Department
THE PRESIDENT PROTECTING Dishonest
OFFIcBRs.
Commissioners Rollins sent the names OF
twenty PERSONS, Collectors and Assessors
of Internal Revenue. to the President,
charging them with corruption, and
recommending their removal. So far as
we know, these are all johnson Demo
Gratis. 1t is our opinion they are all Of
this class. OF the twenty persons thus
charged with corruption, the President has
removed but one. The nineteen are re-
tained in Office on the face of charges OF
corruption officially preferred against
them.
The President, in q message to Congress
lately attributed the corruption Of officers to
the Tenure-OG-office act. But the law au-
thOrizes him during the recess Of Congress-
to remove officers guilty of corruption,
and during the session of Congress be may
at any time remove such persons, with the
consent Of the Senate. The Senate has
not and will not object to the removal Of
officers for corruption; and until it does so
object, the President can not shield him
self under the Tenure-Of-Ofice act, from
the responsibility justly attaching to his
refusal to turn out the thieves who are
Of the taxes collected. We have in the
case referred to twenty persons reported
corrupt by the commissioner Of Internal
Revenue, all of whom, but one, the Presf-
dent persists in keeping in office. In thus
acting, he becomes a party to the system
Of robbery that is being successfully y carried
on.
Furthermore, the Secretary Of the Treas
ury gave it as his OpiniOD, nOs long since,
that JOhnson's appointments, up to that
time, had cost the Government one hun
dred millions of dollars. Mainly, he sub
stituted bad men for good men, and bnt
for the tenure-Of-office act, he would have
still further demOralized the Revenue
Department. He therefore stands before
the country, legally and morally respou-
sible for the robberies that are being COM
mitted. Does not this constitute ga high
crime and misdemeauOr?" Is it not ''a
/ high crime" for the President Of the Unit
ed States to keep thieves in Office, who
/ have been reported to him as thieves, and
can, Of course, be proved guilty by the
i head Of one of the departments Of the
/ Government? If not, we look in vain
through the whole catalogue Of rascalities
for an offence that will come under the
head Of "high crime."-[CineinDati Ga

The Two Merchants.

When trade grew slack and notes fel
due, the merchants face grew long and
blue, his dreams were troubled through
the night, with sherifs baiIiffs all in
sight. at last his wife unto him said,
'Rise up at once, get out of bed, and get
your paper, ink and pen, and say these
words unto all men:
my goods wish to sell to vou, and to
your wives and daughters, too my prices
they shall be so low, that each will buy be-
fore they 60"
He did as his good wife advised, and in
the paper advertised. Crowds came and
bought Of all he had; his notes were paid,
his dreams made glad, and he will tell you
to this day, how wen did printers ink re-
pay.
He told US this, with a knowiug wink,
how he was saved by printers ink.

Death Ofthe Pioneer Gold Min
eF Of California.

GE 0A NELAAAVEAAAces
The telegraph announces the death
of Isaac Humphrey, at Victoria, on
the first of December. He is general
ly known as "Major," and is an i'm
pOrtant character in the history OF
California. He was a Georgian by
birth, and had worked in the placers
Of that State before coming to this
coast. When Marshall discovered
gold at Suffers Mill, now CoIOma, on
the 18th of January, 1913, he declared
that the metal was gold, but he could
not prove it, his associates did not
believe him, and his discovery had no
influence. The men of the neighbOr-
hood knew nothing about gold min
ing, and all, including Marshall, con-
tinued their labor on the mill, and
mill race, and ordinary work, just as
though there had been no gold in the
neighborhood. Nevertheless, they
would occasionally pick up bits of
yellow metal in the race, and as these
stood the test Of Mr.. Wiemer's soap
kettle-the only test known at Suffers
Mill-the men began to feel uneasy,
and two months and a half after the
discovery, one Of them, named Ben
nett, came down to San Francisco
with some specimens to post himself.
He showed the little nuggets to some
acquaintance, and one of them hap
pened to know that Humphrey had
been a gold miner, so Bennett was
taken to him. A look satisfied the
Georgian of the character Of the met.
al, and when he was told that these
Jumps had been picked up by men
who were not miners, he declared
that though there had been some rich
diggings in his native State, there
was no place there as rich as the race
at Suffers Mill. He determined to
go thither at once, and tried to per-
suade some friends to accompany him,
but failed, so he went alone. The
morning after his arrival at the mill,
in the first week of April, he went out
with a shovel and got several dollars
in his first painful, and after trying
several places and finding gold every
where, he made a rocker and sat down
to work regularly, washing out the
gold rapidly. Marshall and his friend
saw how it was done, and in three
days after Humphreys arrival every
occupation save gold mining was
abandoned in that neighbOrhoOd, and
10 ,-1o6 70 rrTnrlr a
week before for a dollar a day were
not content unless they were making
thirty or forty dollars. The news
spread, and California became famous
and great. 81, 600, 900, 900 have flowed
from the fountain that was discovered
by Marshall and opened by Humph-
rey.- TSan Francisco Alta California.

Gen. Grant on Slavery.

In thu summer Of 1863, Gen. Grant
wrote from his camp on the Missis-
sippi:
FI have never been an anti-slavery
man; but 1 try to judge justly Of
what 1 see. 1 made up my mind
when the war commenced that the
North and South could only live to-
gether in peace as one nation, and
they could only be one nation by be-
ing a free nation. Slavery, the corner
stone of the so-called confederacy, is
knocked out, and it will take more
men to keep black men slaves than to
put down the rebellion. Much as l
desire peace, I am opposed to any
peace, until this question Of slavery
is forever settled"
That was a private letter to Mr.. E.
B. Washburne, and Senator Wilson
brings it to light. That would have
been called radical doctrine then
Events have justified it. The princi-
pies which bore such utterances at
such time, are sound principles.
