DOWN WITH THE PRESS MO
NOPOLY

The extensive partisan workings OF
the Associated Press monopoly are an out
rage upon the conservative sentiment Of
the country. This close corporation of
news-mongers is in the hands of ex-
IRENE Radicals They are the men who
form and control the latest political in
telligence daily flushed over the w.res
and which constitute the news food upon
which we feed Full of venom towards
the national reform movement of Nr.
Tildcn, this association is an open ally
of Hayes, has the efroutery to scatter
broad cast over the country the basely
preiudiced falsehoods of that disreputable
journal, the New York Times, and
claims for them the orthodoxy of we'll
established facts. That enterprising
Hayes organ by means of thoroughly
organized corps of correspondents in the
South is daily manufacturing malicious
lies as to the operations of the various
Canvassing and Returning Boards, and
the Press Association, its dupe, forth
with dispatches over the wires these
falseboods to be rehs shed each morning
by some great daily in our cities Here
in we see the audacity OF Radicalism.
The question with the people is, how
TO meet this bold movement of the enc
my; how to spike this gun and show the
Associated Press abettors here in the
South that they condemn the partisan
ship Of the news monopoly. Let the
people withdraw al patronage from such
papers in our midst that belong to this
lying news corporation. Don't take
such papers. One such nay be found in
each city and its columns daily TEEN
with the foul slObber and slime of that
Times Journal
The Press Association, which should
be managed impartiallv in the interest
Of the general public, as been con
Nerted into an engine of tremendous evil
Scotch this serpent Condemn the
apers that uphold and fatten this par
tisau monopoly The conservatives
lDIOURUIu VI NOtu 5CCllOtlS CdhuOb dAtLN "
stand idlV by and see their leading papers
siving aid aud comfort to an organiza-
sion which is fomenting sectional dis
oord and sowing the seed of dire reVo-
luton.
We Of the South and West must rely
upon building up a healthy, vigorous
public sentiment in the interest of ma
tonal unity and peace and respectful
obedience to constitu tional provisions.
But these wise ends can never be at
t.insd as long as our papers give oSr
people a morning meal Of malicious
Times lies.
Consider such journals as convenient
conduit pipes through which few dar-
ing Radicals pour their political filth
into the mirds of our people. 1t does
seem that Radical ingenuity is always on
the lockout to substitute every agency to
propagate its heresies and cow it's vevo-
lutionary seed.

THE DANGER AHEAD
Are We to Have a Military Despot
ism at Last?

1t IS no idle suggestion that the coun-
try is at thi5 moment in serious danger
from the violence, unsorupulOusuess and
usditarei infamy of It's politicians And,
unless the men who claim to be the
Statesmen Of she Repu biican party infer
pose their voices for moderation, ard
show some sense and wisdom, instead of
permitting themselves to he dragged
along by the rushing and shurt-sigbt tied
crowd of paTtIsans, 10 man can tell how
the present criminal enterprise may end
Holding the executive power in their
hands, It ID compel mt for the violent
leaders Of the Rep b!iaan pqrty to at,
tempt TO enforce, at the first. almost any
cusrcive and representative measures
through the means Of the army. But
this settles nOrbIng. On the contrary, it
uosettIes everything.

Suggestion, more especi lily wien com ing
from the mouth of the President We

Mr. Conkling's reputed suggestion
thai If things are allowed to ca on IN
their presenl way little while longer,
Senators might be Obliged to have their
own tickets punched by military officer
before being permitted to take their
seats, hits the nail on the head He
would have been even nearer the mark
1t he had said members OF the House
It the tactics put in operation in LnuIsi-
ana IN 1874, and in South Carolina in
1870 re right fOI those States, they are
= ght for Congress.
1t Hayes is inau urated by fraud ac-
cordIng to the present programme, we
se' no reason in the action of the present
Administration to forbid the superstition
OF the exercise of the military power in
the same way it was used in both those
States when the new Congress comes to
asst mbie
To be sure, the publis mind does not
BOW admit the possibility Of such incon-
ceivabie effrontery. But it is an old
proverb that the descent into hell is
easy. We may add that people are
often on the way when they do not sus-
pect tn y Sun.

THE SOUTH CAN'T BE BOUGHT

There is IOuch distracting gong-music
in the air about Hayes attempting to buy
southern influence IN the event of his
Inauguration 1t is alleged that over
lures have been made to some prominent
Southern men thai in case they give
their support to Hayes: the Sourb will
secure the friendly attentions of IT, Re
publicans. ALI this IS supreme bosh.
The South is unit in an effort to reform
the country and restore the Government
to its original just workings. This is
her high duty and no time-servIng Hayes
partisans can tempt her to surrender
the responsibilities of the hour.
The Conservatives of all sections are
united to rescue the country from the
rne of revoIutionists, and no bride or
price can induce them to yield their posi-
ton. To surrender now to Hayes would
be to prolong the iniquisous power of
corrupt political tricksters.

The Compromise Committee.

We cannot expect any plan of settle
ment 20 be agra ed upon by the Compro-
mise Committee just appointed, consist,
ing of seven Senators and seven mem.
ters of the House. lt is precludea by
the character of the majority of the Sen.
ate committee. This majority cOnsir Is OF
such unscrupulnus partisans as Morton
aud Logan, such a subservient tool a.
Frelinghuysen, and such an out-and-out
arologist of past Republican crimes as
Edmunds
Nobody can suppose that fairness and
Justice are TO he expected from men who
are self-blinded TO facts, incapable of
weighing evidence, end determined to re-
iect any conclusion that is at war with
their party and personal interests
Mr. Ferry might easily have found
men on the Republican side Of the SEN
ate better fitted than these to perform
the duties required of this committee;
but, instead Of selecting the right kind
eff men, be has wilfully selected those
Of the wrong kind.
We cannot, therefore, look for an
agreement by the joint committee upon
anything that will be adv ntageous to
the country in this erisis.-Nel0 York

MILITARY VIOLENCE.

The bayonet is a natural ally of politi-
cal fraud. The Morton and Cameron
conspiracy now at work to defy the will
and wishes Of the American people il
preparing, through the superserviceable
manipulation Of President Grant, TO use
the power of the army ana navy to in
uugurate in this country a national
partizan rule. To do this they must
suppress bg force the House of Repre-
sentatiYes, and do as Grant has in
timated imprison at Fortress Monroe all
refractory members. The issue pre-
scented is grave one. And it remains
to be seen whether the people will quiet
" acquiesce in the designs Of these
cOuspirators.
The Northwest in the lead Of Indiana,
and Ohio will give no uncertain sound
on this question. The great deep of
public sentiment is stirred by even the
shadow Of these threatened results II
military violence be used, the resPoRsi-
bility is with Morton and his allies The
Conservatives will, it is hoped, unfincr-
ingly defend the very right of the case
and manfylly labor to preserve the unity
and integrity of an imEeriled union.
