The Proper sphere Of Journali.m.


Lssdrille tcOl.l Herald.
Mr.. Campbell, Of West Virginia, the
delegate to the Chicago Convention who
declined TO bind himself in advance to the
support OF whoever might be the nominee
OF the convention, recently received from
his friends picture representing the in:
cident. In acknowledging the gilt he said
that be had found the true secret OF edito'
rial independence to lie in disconnecting
his paper from any personal ambition or
schemes whatever, whether his own or
others. Mr.. Campbell has given voice to
sentiment which should be framed in
letters OF gold in every sanctum in the
country. The paper which attaches Itself
TO the fortunes Of any man, whether
that man be the editor or the edi-
tors political friend, iorfeiIs its claims
to the confidence OF the people. No
man ia the equal OF respecta.
bic, decently conducted journal, and when
a paper voluntarily accepts the position OF
A tender to some political aspirant, 1t &C.
kuowledges itself unequal to the task Of
standing alone, and ut ouco sinks In pub.
lie estimation to the place which 1t has
made for itself. The msn who places him
sell before bis paper, and treats il as i'm.
portant only because 1t voices his ideas.
has very crude idea Of the dignity OF
journalism. A paper which has not an In
dividualty OF It's own can never become
great or even a good paper, for by sinking
It's individuality in that Of its editors, 1t Is
not the voiced sentiment OF the commune
ty, but the pale reflection oil single indi-
vidual Of the community, whom the pub.
lie cares very little abBut knowing, and
whose opinions are OF no public import.

Hancock and eEarfieEd-An Irn-
pOrtant Difference BE.
tween the TWO
Men.

| Gen. Hancock is q man of correct
high, and noble instincts. Nobody dis
putes that; nobody doubts it. No one
| imputes to him mean act during his
whole life. No stain Of pecuniary cor
ruption rests upon him; nor any accu.
sation of conduct of doubtful integrity.
Such a man i'm the White House will
naturally surround himself with men OF
like instincts and of similar character.
Gen. Hancock would never knowingly
appoint dishonest man To Office, and
if by mistake he should appoint such a
man, he would be prompt and decided
in rectifying the mistake by an uncere-
mOnious removal as soon as il as dis
covered.
With Gen. Hancock President the
country would enjoy that substantial,
practical, desirable reform i'm the civil
service which naturally comes from
having pure, robust, upright,man in
tolerant of dishonesty and of negligence
at the head of affairs. We should
have what is attainable of civil service
much sentimental twaddle, without
performance, on that subject, as we
have now.
In these respects Gen. Garfield is the
very opposite of Gen. Hancock. His
training is that of the mere party poll
tician. BY instinct and habit he is
His strength consists
mainly in the adroit practice of the arts
of the PARTISAN. For money he betray-
ed his trust as a member of the Nation
al Legislature; for office he basely be-
trayed his confiding friend in the Chi

a good deal of sharp rough sparring,
Johnny walked up to the speaker,

Next Wednesday there is to be a
Democratic pole raising at Winchester,

Altogether, we have a prospect here
of one of the quietest, fairest political

people are not noisy they think the
more, and are thinking as they never
thought before.

Silver Bricks I'm Arkansas.

| From the Silver City, (Ark.) Mining journal.
Professor j. w. Willis, from Bullion
City, formerly known as "Blish's
Smelling Works"J called on US yester-
day morning and brought with him
two small bricks of refined silver, q
portion OF the results obtained from the
reduction works in full tide cooperation
at that place. The silver exhibited In
our office by the Professor Is valued at
so. The first installment will be held
in reserve until n general cleaning up
of the arrastas is had, when the entire
product will be put together In one SOL
id brick which will make a specimen
of Montgomery county silver of the
value of at least $3.50.
The result already obtained Demon
strates that the arrastra works In oper-
alton are a success. This is a fact that
can not be gainsayed. In few days
time there will be enough amalgum OH
hand to finish up the work begun,
then the product can be seen, and
doubters convinced that we have the
ore here in abundance to keep reduc-
ton works constantly and profltably
employed.
Professor Willis informs us that his
next effort will be made i'm the direction
of manufacturing base bullion from tho
galena ores which abound i'm this dis
trict. He is very sanguine that he can
treat that class of ores as successfully
as he Is treating argentferous quartz

We think Professor Willis Is entitled
to great credit for what he has accom-
plished under all the circumstances
and unfavorable surroundings. The
ores which he has been experimenting
upon thus far, are of a low grade, such

ceptacle for rock and dirt, but he. has
obtained silver therefrom in paying
quantities. The question naturally
arises-if he has made such ores pay,
what could NE DO with our higb-gnde
ores? Or. in the language or Scripture:
"If they do these things in the green
tree, what shall be done i'm the dry?"
