THE COUNTRY PRESS
lFrom the SedaIia Democrat

III
As OF old and as always, the demo-
cratic portion of the country press of
Missouri is unit in the advocacy of
democratic organization and integrity.
Grounded upon principal, the ingrat-
ltude OF the party has no other effect
upon 1t save to make it more steadfast
and unpurchasable. No matter the
crisis which arises-and at everygeneral
election some Internal emeate or ism
comes to the front to seduce the luke
warm, brighten the timid. and buy up
the venal and corrupt-the democratic
newspapers stand as the Rock of Gil
braltar.
Without looking at the question close
y the ordinary observer would never
inform himself accurately as to the vast
amount OF hard. patient, thankless work
the party newspaper does for ITS party.
Its editor generally knows most of the
democrats IN the county where it is
published. lie knows their likes and
dIs!lkes, the private spites or feuds
which separate neighborhood from town.
ship. or township from township. and he
iaborS increasingly to harmoniZe these
individual ri7alries and bring order out
OF confusion. In the capacity of peace
maker he is both journalist and physl-
clan. He heals at the same time that
he advises. He can always be depended
upon because he is always true to
straight democracy. He iabors not only
through his newspaper, but personally
and Individually. He arranges, sug-
gesis, harmonizes, combines, prints,
argues, is lavish OF his space and time,
charges nothing tor it all. and consoles
himself by way OF reward with the be-
lief that the old party, God bless it,
needed his devotion, and 1t was pleas
ure above all price to make it supremely
manifest.
And again comes this national up
rising to the front and DEGREES the death
OF the democratic party because it can
neither be used, pushed to one idol, nor
swallowed up. Whatever else may hap
pen, the country democratic press CT
Missouri stands, like Stonewall Jackson
stood al Manassas. in front of the dem
ocratic party, facing this new enemy and
| meaning to crush it as it crushed teder-
allsm. know nothinglsm, tadpoleism
lts attitude is simply heroic, and should
make the cheeks OF. some democratic
officials in the state burn as though smit-
ten by an insulting hand-democratic
officials who have divided their patron
| age with notorious enemies, asked for
bids and competition that even bread
might be taken from democratic pub
fishers who had been starving in the
harness Tor fifteen years, who have
| pleaded economy as an excuse for
cowardice and demagoguery, and who
ii it had not been tor the unrcwarded
devotion of the democratic editors, and
a faith and steadiastness that courted
martyrdoni-would have either been in
the ranks OF the enemy, where many OF
them rightfully belonged, or sucking
their unofficial paws through long,
hard winter of distranchsement and
| disgrace.

EDIsON's HORRIBLE INVENTION.
From the New York Times i

rom llle NcW ! uTh lllnts
Something ought to be done to Mr..
Edison. and there is 4 growing convic-
ton that 1t had better be done with
hemp rope. Mr.. Edison has invented
too many things, and almost without
exception they are things of the most
deleterious character. Recently, he in
vented the phonograph. machine that
catches the lightest whisper of CONVEX
sation and stores it up, SO that at any
future time it can be brought out, to the
confusion of the original speaker. This
machine will eventually destroy all con-
lidence between man and man, and
render more dangerous than ever wo-
mans want of confidence i'll woman.
The aerophone is apparently moditi-
cation of the phonogroph. In fact, it is
a phonograph which converts whispers
into roars. We can only family imagine
the horrible results Of the general in
PRODUCTION of the aerophonc. Wives re-
siding in suburban Jersey villages will
call to their husbands at their places of
business in the city. and require inior-
nation as to subjects purely domestic
interest. Mothers whose children have
wandered out of sight will howl over 4
four-mile tract of country direful
threats rs to the ilaying alive which
awaits James, Henry and Ann Eliza
unless thev instantly come home. From
morning till midnight our ears will be
tortured with the uproar of aerophonic
talk. and deaf men will be looked upon
rs the favored few to whom nature has
made life tolerable.
