Bowers says the STATESMAN is an
infdel paper simply because it has
questioned the notion of special provi-
dence. But then Bowers, In his lead
ing editorial of the ninth, says 1000
souls have persisted of yellow fever. "
Bowers doesn't even believe IN the i'm
mortality of the soul. 1t can perish.
But 1t is natural that Bowers should
question the stories he has read about
Bowers of Bliss. He has never seen
any of them. He has always trudged
along in the hot sunshine. He works
Ike a galley-slave, and there is evil

A MELLIFLUoUs writer for the Capt.
tai abuses the STATESMAN soundly for
/ thn- aAOArtinn that-LldRe- Roberts
THAT'S never bad an idea in his i4e rs
venomous and denunciatory simply be-
cause we have never seen or learned,
since the Apostles were no more,
that any miracle has been done.
Another vigorous party organ thinks
the STATESMAN quasi Republican"
because it has approved much
OF the conduct of President
Hayes. Again the Herald SAYS, be-
cause we prefer Russell's conservatism
and adhesion to Hayes, to Davis's
fierceness and alliance with fiat money
theorists, that therefore the STATESMAN
is a moderate Republican newspaper.
Not long ago when it was said that
a strong Mexican force was moving
towards the frontier and that therefore
war was negotiable and the STATESMAN
said that Diaz only proposed to cooper
ate with Gen. Ord in the suppression of
raids, then it was alleged by San Ar
tonic paper that the STATESMAN was
false to Texas and rather q Mexican
than Texan newspaper.
In reference to all these matters we |
leave the facts to answer for them
selves, and that the grave cob pipe in
luiry may be definitively settled, we |
suggest that the writer who at
'acks US so vigorously about 1t
would save himself and the readers of
he Capital much annoyance by az
iressing Judge Roberts on the subject.
The STATESMAN said it aud stands by
be assertion that the Judge smokes a
'ob pipe. II this be Radicalism or
dayesism or Atheism our assailant can
make the most of it, never forgetting
n the meantime that the STATESMAN
las the right to think for itself and
ay what it thinks.

demands more careful training than this
OF journalism. They can never COM
Prehend the difficulties of a task that
8 only perfectly executed when 70
signs of labor are apparent. To be
ready with an article on any subject,
at any hour, is the only literary cspac-
ity that can be relied upon for bread
and butter. Il is talent and not gen.
Jus, and labor is the only genius
that finds ready sale in the mar
ket overt of newspaperdom. But
then there is another and hideous
field of employment for the unframed,
half-educated, incapable, grown-up
girls of the South. She who marries
for d living is most of all to be pitied.
Negro slavery had very paradise in
every rice field and lowly cabin and
in meanest servitude compared with
the slsve-life of such a woman. Her
good fortune then consists solely in
her ignorance, and she is well fitted to
rear such children as we discover
unkempt and rudely clad, stoning
doves and dogs and betting marbles in
slley-ways of the capital. The meanest
servants place in the meanest house
hold is to be preferred to this bargain
and sale at the marriage altar.
When we see strong men, willing to
work, everywhere idle; when we see
popular vices in politics leading even
to Communism that springs from idle
ness and ignorance; when the country
Is overrun by tramps and the number
of depraved women is hardly less, it is
time for those to think who populate
the State and are responsible for the
conduct of its future rulers. Boys
and girls should have trades rather
than professions, and the law should,
if common sense will not, compel it.

THE AdUOoate, it Is said, comes In
large numbers to voters of this Senate
nal district. The Greenbackers of the
Pacific States have plsnks IN their plat
forms favoriDg government aid to Tom
Scott's railroad, and the Allocate
would further the scheme. Hence
voters receive gratis the great organ of
the Greenbsckers and of the Commu-
nists who oppose Judge Terrell. But
who pays for the publication of the
Adr0eatel Is it not the people who
want strong government with Grant
ut its head Communism is the means
proposed by which these people hope
to gain pretext for changing our form
of government.

never told before. He writes that he
only wants an audience, and they who
have requested him to speak shall not
be disappointed. he may want grace,
but not vigor of action or intellect,
and whatever the impression made by
Reavis himself, his speech will be q

formidable letter by return Of post to
inform him that the government did

that the shilling was for the man who
carried his luggage, and then received
another note advising him that he
should have charged for 'sporterage."
When he next made up his accounts
the official charged one shilling six
pence for cabbage considering that
that was the proper way to set down .
charge for cab hire, but he promptly

No MAN can be consistent unless his
conduct appear to be inconsistent.
How newspaper could advocate Til
den in 1876 and approve Hsyes's con-
duct in 1877 and then advocate Judge
Roberts's elevation to the gubernatorial
chair in 1873 involves apparent contra
dictions of policy which stupidity can
not reconcile with consistency. We
were for Tilden In 1876 because he was
opposed by the bloody shirt people,
of whom Ben Butler and Ex-Governor
Davis were chiefest. Hayes was
chosen by the worst elements of his
party, because it was thought he would
be their supple agent In bayoneting
the South. Nobody dreamed, while
Blaine and Conkling and Ben Butler
were Hayes's adherepts, that he was
better than the great body of bloody
shirt fl4unters who went bowling
over the North. We thought that
Tilden was elected but seeing
Hayes made President by law we gave
approval to the act and regarded 1t rs
final. We could see no reason why we
should go with Conkling and Blame,
or with those Democrats co-operat-
ing with Blaine and Conkling, who
make it their business to denounce
the President. We do not approve
all he does, but the great
leading acts and general policy
of his administration have been praise
worthy, and the STATESMAN chooses to
say so. The Radical malcontents on
the one hand and Democratic on the
other are alike Radicals, and only diff
fer in choosing Designations for them
selves.

The aosurdity of the conduct of a
Southern Democrat who has effected
an alliance with the Greenbackers, is
shown in the result in Ohio, where the
whole vote of the Nationals or Greer
hackers is about 400 The returns
show that this voting force was alb
stracted mainly from the Democrats,
and thus the State has been transferred,
by eight or ten thousand majority, to
the Republicans Surely. in the face

SOMEHOW or other the Bonham Neao,
seems to think that a newspaper can
tell the truth on any subject and still

Marshall Herald needs to get over the
absurd idea that paper cannot be

journals which compliment President
Hayes because he deserves it are as in-
flexible in their opposition to the Re-

of the national administration can be. -
