WHO GETS THE MONEY ?

Senator Savage having charged
in a speech made in the Senate that
the newspapers of the State are in.
sincere in their protested desire tc
see the State debt question settled
the Jackson Tribune and Sun re-
marks:
"SeuatOr Savage makes the charge
by implication against the newspaper
press of the State, that they are insln-
ceTe ia their protested desire to see the
State debt settled, and that they are
improperly making money out of lis
agitation. Such serious IT Elections re-
quiTe some proof, and if the Senator Is
honest in his declarations, he will pro-
duce the proof. The newspapers of the
State have the right % demand the
proofs OF that the Senator be convicted
of classifying the facts.
1--WE understand that the Senator
former personal organ at the capital
sold it's editorial opinions for Sl7 80.
We are also reliably informed and Can
produce the witnesses, that the eX-ed-
itor of a paper in this city, at that
time representing Senator Savage's
views, says the only money he ever
received for publishing matter on the
Safe debt, was the sum of SIS 90 from
Col. Savage himself.
This may in some measure account
for the Senator's belief, but we sub
~. t that ii does not show any suffi.
Gent cause for making the broad
charges preferred by the Senator. Be-
cause men of the Senator's views have
been swsyed by the small sums men
TONED, he has no right to infer that
there Is no such thing as an honest
opinion. So far the facts show that
the bOndhOlders have used Sl7. so, and
Savage SIS co. if his ex -editOr friend
correctly reports him. and not a cent
of that amount has been paid to a
paper advocating the compromise of
the debt at the time. The gold mine
must be on the side with which the
Senator is most familiar, for we must
say in justice to ourselves that never a
word, line or sentence, never single
thought or opinion expressed through
our columns on the subject was paid
for by any body. Our editorial Opin-
ions we hold above merchantable COM
modities, and no one has ever pur-
chased or proposed to purchase even
space for communication on the
subject. We have always spoken and
written for what we believed to be
the highest public good, and conceded
like honesty of purpose to others, and
while q sweeping charge against all
newspapers calls only for general
response, we are prepared when such
a charge is made specific against US to
characterize il and its author as it de-
serves.
''As Ia pecuniary obligations we owe
more TO Mr.. Savage than 10 The States
creditors, for he does subscribe for
the Tribune and Sun, and if there is
a bondholder taking il We do not
know it. We have the proofs of what
We have said on this matter, and we
challenge the Senator to produce the
proofs OF his sweeping allegations.

kept up the publication of the
CHRONICLE for some months after
it started at a considerable sacrifice,
but since then it has paid expenses.
In the last three months our BUSH
ness has been better than for any
three months in four years, tact
growing out of the general improve
ment in business affairs, we take 1t,
and which shows that the people
are generally satisfied with the
paper. 1t is a fixed institution,
and if there be any who are wait
ing to see it starve out, they may
make up their minds to wait long
time with the chances largely in
favor of final disappointment.
In the future, the CHRONICLE
will be what it has ever been-an
independent Republican newspaper.
We have never received dollar in
our lives for any editorial written
in advocacy of any man or any
measure. The editor of the CHRONI-
Gle has not been approached at any
time, by any man, with an offer of
pecuniary reward in consideration
of writing editorials favoring any
individual or any measure. The
CHRONICLE has never been the per-
sonal organ of any man belonging
to any sect or party, and, under its
present management, never will be.
If we had consented to bow the preg-
nant hinges of the knee in the past,
thrift might have followed our fawn-
ing. We might have improved our
pecuniary condition, and some that
are now our enemies, endeavoring
to break US down, might be our pro-
fessed friends, but such mercenary
sycophancy would have cost US the
displeasure of all for whose good
opinion we care a fig. We would
rather "be a dog and bay the moon"
than to be the recognized, mer~
cenary organ of any man, clique or
clan.
We have doubtless made mis-
takes, for we do not profess infalli-
bility, but in the main our con-
science, the monitor which God has
given US to regulate our conduct,
our course, and so long as
this is true we are satisfied. We
are thankful to our large number of
friends throughout this and other
States who have endorsed our gen
eral policy with their liberal patron
age, and shall endeayor in the future
to so conduct our journal as to
prove ourselves worthy Of their gem
erous confidence.
