The Country Editor.

You Sc him on the street while
he rambles from point to point, and
you regard him as one without mon.
ey or brains. He reads the signs
and peers in at every shop window
with the uDsophisticatedness of yer.
dant youth, but beneath his green
ness is an importune that smacks
of dignity. He may look like some
belated straggler from a flock of
sheep, but upon his broad, generous
shoulder has leaped many an OBJ
scure individual into the halls of
legislation and Congress. 1t was his
ink-soiled fingers that placed in sol
emn lines the type that recounted
his virtues and sent forth to the
world his fitness and qualifications
for office within the gift of the PEG
pie, and yet the poor medium by
which his ambition found strength
and his aspirations success, receives
only thanks, and oft times not that
much reward.
We love to shake the hand of a
country editor. We find in him the
true working man of the land. He
Won ks not only with his hands, bnt
with his brain. Under his magic
work towns grow into cities, black
smith shops grow into foundries and
the little bunch of cottages are trans
formed into palatial mansions.
These changing scenes go on, and
yet the country editor tolls on as he
did when his village was in it's in.
fancy. There is no reward for his
work other than the satisfaction of
knowing that he and he alone
wrought the glorious improvement.

like the preacher, upon the charities
OF his patrons. One day he NAV

nevertheless. He goes on building
his town, electing ungrateful aspir,
ants to office, and give each and
every citizen a shove up the hill of
life, down which he is allowed to
tumble.
Therefore when Col. Tooster comes
into our sancrum, we feel as if we
were more honored than if Ben Hill
or Chief Justice Bradley had visited
us. We love the country editor
And although he is but trife worse

One printing house in st. Louis
has drawn from the State of Texas
not less than one million dollars with
in the past three or four years. In
Grayson county nearly all the blanks
used by the county officers are or
dered, the Register says, through
drummers for St. Louis stationery
houses, instead OF giving the work
to local printers who can do it Just
as we'll, and need the patronage to
help sustain local newspapers. 1t
is just as the Neac Era says, our
Legislators land public officers) seem
to have regarded the printing inter-
est OF the State as one dangerous to
the public good, and, instead of en-
cou aging it, deem it their holy duty
to throw around it every possible
restriction. This is not the uhole
story. Newspaper people bid eager
~ against one another till rates are
made so low that the contractor
fails and the work goes abroad.
Then, too, printers jobs are so wide
ly advertised by printers that the
politicians managing the business
win great notoriety for economy and
for awful integrity and pluck before
the gaping mob if the printer be
thoroughly robbed and reduced to
poverty. The Legislature that makes
most noise in getting low bids from
bankrupt printers is deemed the
most upright and economical Legis-
lature, and while everybody else
plucks the treasury ad infnitum, the
poor devil of a printer himself is
ever reduced to penury and the
State loses millions by it in money
sentabroad and in population exiled.

EmbaIming the Carpet Baggers.

some papers with gushing and
skillful correspondents to save
the carpet-bag regime from the
odium attached to it. The gen
eral line adopted is to admit the
death of Southern Republican,
ism and to crave a handful of
earth for the corpse and bit of
charity, while it's vices are con-
cealed and its virtues recalled
and extolled. "The evil that
men do lives after them, the
good is oft inferred with their
bones.' So it has been with the
corpse under consideration. IF
it possessed virtues in its life
time, they have been inferred
and the memory thereof fingers
not in all the land. The wrong
done by a class, which never
was an integral part of society,
which was an exotic that never
took root, which only rested
upon the South like a nightmare,
and never fostered itself in the
bosom of the social order, be-
coming inextricably entwined
with it, was perhaps temporary
and remediable. The wrong
done to the material interests
Of the South will be very soon
remedied and forgotten. An evil
which does not poison society
itself is of no great consequence
in the longrun. The wrong done
the society in the South by car
pet-bagism was only in it's evil
effect, if any it had, upon the
Southern people. Being no part
of, becoming no part of, and
never amalgamating with or per-
vading with it's ideas the mass
OF the Southern people, we must
look for its effect wholly to the
manner in which it determined
the temper, opinions, ideas of
the antagonistic class. Perhaps
a people cannot contend with a
force like that one without being
at some points smirched; but in
that long contest we are inclined
to think that on the whole the
people of the South have learned
virtues and not vices. They
have become more heroic, more
prudent, more frugal, more self
reliant, and better able and
more disposed to wrestle with
fortune and to work out their
own prosperity by hard labor.
Vices enough we have of our
own, faults enough yet to cor
rect, but we may fairly look at
that alien brood as one that has
fled, leaving none of it's evil in
huence behind it.
This effort to find some virtues
and to reserve for it a place as
a heroic and self-denying race
OF carpet-baggers is natural and
necessary to the Republican
party, which created and pre-
served it. The very statement,
however, that it is dead shows
how little there was of principle
and OF real ideas, of earnestly
held opinions, in the organiza-
ton. fproof were wanting that
it was a merely mercenary, sor-
