sanetu.n Regulations.

lDoo Adams, in Pblla. Sunday Transcript.
The editor has nothing to do, and
is therefore at leisure to entertain all
who are similarly situated.
He will simultaneously explain the
feasibility of "a trans.continentai canal
through the Sierras to one man, and
the reason why potato bugs 20 dry in
winter to another.
He will cheerfully adopt every i'd
ioti0 suggestion offered, and gracefully
return thanks for the same.
He will make it his solemn duty to
write only such articles &c find favor
with the caller.
He will throw over half column
of the latest Telegraph news in order
to give the member from Peedunk
blazes to crafty a personal spite of
his late defeated opponent
The sanetum is a public reading
room, and although the editor may
leave on file Of the latest exchanges
a request not to disturb them, don't
pay any attention to 1t. II IL q Joke
He has no use for exchanges-never
reads them. They are procured for
the public.
If the editor should happen to be
engaged on his leader, pick up an ex
change and make it point to bring
to his notice "a good thidg that ought
TO be published, and then read it to
him. He has read it before, but it
makes no difference. He will appre-
ciate your kindness. Elevate your
feet on the desk, lean back in your
chair, and begin conversation on the
eastern war or some other topic of
equal local interest. Your attitude
bespeaks sociability, and your conver.
sation is evidence of desire to make
yourself interesting.
Make scattering observations about
the stupidity of country editors as
you glance through tba weekly ex-
changes. The metropolitan editor is
always pleased to hear his provincial
confrere damnedi and it shows how
much you know about bis facilities
for getting up paper to rival the
London Times.
Let it be understood that the i'm
pres ion current to the eject that the
editor has reserved a small private
office for his exclusive use is a stupid
hallucination, for the sanctum is de-
signed for the use of those who find
it too monotonous TO be engaged in
employment.
If you should find the books of the
Office near you, draw them up, look
over them, and see how the business
runs.
When a gentleman comes in to con-
fer with the editor, and looks as though
he desired private interview, keep
your seat; and after he has called the
editor aside and communicated his
wishes, as soon as he retiFes, ask in
confidential way what he said.
Be as familiar as possible with the
editor when stranger comes in on
business. Call him by bis front namo
and get of joke at his expense. Be-
sides adding to your Importance it
plays the devil with him,

excess Of this date last year, and the
increase is attracting considerable at
tention in Europe, though so far it
seems not to have exercised depres-
sive influence. The latest advices
from eastern spinners is to the effect
that stocks are in the main small. At
last accounts a stock of 10000. bales
was no hand at Fall River, about
enough for months supply, and other
points were no better provided. The
spinners Of this country will doubtless
begin to fill up at an early day to get
the cream Of the crop, as they did last
year.
The total crop of last year is set
down by the national cotton exchange
at 5,76l ,252 bales, of which l,795, ,334
was consumed in this country-221 ,337
bales in the south and l,573,99 bales
at the north. The shipments to for
eign ports were 1854. .554 bales, against
3,465, 1897 last year. The consumption
in this country shows an increase over
last year of 1896 bales, and the in
crease of southern takings was 34,S48
bales

THE policy of vitUperation and
abuse, and Misrepresentation adopted
toward Wilson by certain organs and
leaders was doubtless intended to
drive him off the track, or to deter
democrats from supporting him.
This has signally failed. Wilson has
not only held his own with veteran
stump speaker, and against fully nine
tenths Of the press of the state
and powerful party organization, but
he has gained ground all over the
state. If the election we're held to-
day there is no question but that Will
son would beat Wright by an over
whelming majority. The next thing,
we look for coalition between the
supporters of Wright and Hawkins.
The high tax elements, fortunately so
scarce hereabouts, are growing des-
perate in other parts of the state.
The people must look out for them
selves.

THE SHELBY COUNTY DEMOCRACY

THE SHELBY COUhT1 UEMOVRACY.
The democratic committee which
conducted the late county campaign
so successfully, have called county
convention to assemble on the Both
inst, for the purpose Of nominating a
legislative ticket. The call appears
elsewhere. The LEDGER endorses it
heartily, and the spirit in which it is
made. Recognizing that the people
of Shelby county, in true spirit Of
democracy, are in favor Of referring
any settlement Of the state debt back
to the popular vote for ratification or
rejection, 3 resolution to this effect
is recommended to the convention for
adoption. 1t is also recommended
that coupons and bonds be not made
receivable for taxes or other dues to
the state. These concessions are all
that could reasonably be asked, and
will, or should, thoroughly unite the
democracy Of this countyin support Of
one legislative ticket. Submission to the
people has been theissu which divided
GUS. That being conceded in the call for
a convention, there is no longer any
cause for division or dissension in our
ranks so far as the legislative canvass
is concerned. Let us all fall into line
as good democrats, and see to it that a
first. class ticket is nominated and
elected to represent Shelby county in
the next legislature. Some questions
willariSe there which will be Of&E more
Immediate and 6nsl Importance to US
in local sense. than any wrangIe over
the debt question. and these things
should not be lost sight of. Neither
wing Of the party in this county could
possibly elect ticket alone. There
is no longer any real cause Of differ
ence. Let us accept the situation
gracefully all around and go to work.
Those who respectively support Will
son and Wright occupy the same posi-
tion they did before the convention,
and can continue to do SO to their
hearts content. We shall con-
tinue to support Wilson with as much
energy as ever, but will have no quar-
rel with any of our brethren who are
misled into support for Wright.

CoNsT4EFINoPLE, September 49,
On Wednesday the sultan, yho had
appeared to be in a conciliatory mood,
suddenly changed bis tone, and re-
preached AbeddiR Pasha, late minis.
ter of foreign affairs, with max
ing unnecessary concessions to the
powers in dulcigno affairs. There
can be no doubt that the changed
tone of the Albanians and Polose are
intimately connected, but it is not
easy to determine whether the Alban-
jan menaces of resistance have fright
eued the sultan, causing him to aban,
don bis intention to cede Dulcignio,O ,OF
whether he never really intended to
cede it and has privately instigated a
renewed resistance.
