TIE summer tourists are estimated
to have left in New Hampshire last
season all the way from $1,000, 600 to
SG,OOO,OO0. The sum is no doubt very
large, as the railroad receipts from
this business alone were equivalent to
SGOO,OOO. Whether two or six millions,
however, there is every reason to be-
lieve that 1t will be more than doubled
next year. The attractions of Maine,
New Hamshirc and Vermont, to all
lovers of natural scenery in its most
picturesque or sublimer forms, are
simply immense-particularly those
of the Granite State. Their noun
tains, lakes and valleys, streams and
forests, form landscapes that are un-
cithcir in beauty or accc,-

New York Herald.
Guiding public opinion by following
the tide of popular will and pointing
out the shoals and quicksands in the
path of the people, the NEWSPAPER is Il
voice that can never be silenced so
long as its utterances are wise,
thoughtful and patriotic. 1t has been
recently and shrewdly said that the
stump orator was no longer power
in American politics, because the
newspaper has usurped his functions
and addresses wider and more at
tentive audience. The written word
sinks deeper into the heart than the
spoken one, consequently its influence
is the greater and more lasting. We
agree with Mr.. COllyer i'm his views
about the high mission Of the press,
for it would be mock modesty in jour
nalists to pretend ignorance of this
fact. The more need, therefore, that we
should strive to carry out that mis-
sion in way to rebound to our honor
and the welfare of the nation.

COL. MCCLURE COMING SOUTH.

Col. a X. Mcclure, editor Of the
Philadelphia Times, an independent
and honest journal, in an enlarged
sense of those flattering terms. and
certainly one Of the ablcst and most
attractive newspapers of the whole
country, has made arrangements for
an extensive tour through the South
ern States. His object is to find out
rom personal observation and collision
IN The South the real animus of this
people, and fairly present it in his
widely circulated paper.
The high character which he enjoys
as man Of great political sagacily
ana rare literary and journalistic ac-
complishments will guarantee a cor
dial reception for him in these States
and ready hearing in the North.
Tbs South will welcome him. The
South is anxious to be understood. So
lar from having any concealments to
make, or desiring her case to be rep
resented solely by special advocates
whose supposed prejudices may be ex-
pected to warp their judgments, she
invites the scrutiny and appeals to
The Judgment Of Independent and fair
minds everywhere.
The visit Of Col. Mcclure, we think
will be worth something to the coun-
Try 10 very large extent he has the
ear OF the North and South, and the
confidence Of both. He is not parli-
zan. He is not bound to give Il GER
tam colorlng to his representations to
suit amy particular shade of sentiment,
or to fit his words to any popular
breeze. He is cmphatically what he
claims to he, an impartial thinker, and
IN independent journalist, defending
ma sustaining the right as he under
stands it. The time is most opportVne
or the increase of such men. Parties
you'd be vastly improved if there
we're more of them, and newspapers
would be amazingly more acceptable
md serviceable 10 the people if they
would take long stride in the direc-
ion Of shaking Off the benumbing
hackels of party.
The time is at hand, we believe,
'hen the mere partizan organ must ;
i've way before the triumphant {
larch of the truly Independent news
aper which represents the dignity 5
nd loftiness of an untrammcllcd free
ON Of thought and expression. |

To the Editor Of the Comet
| notice in the Ledger, an article
from "Citizcn," of Casey wherein
he attempts to evadc the RESPONSE
bility of having published any charges
or insinuations against me, or my per-
sonal character, by alleging that he
only y published hcarsay. While doing
this, he asserts that am accused of
so many crimes, none of which he can
vOuch for. Think of man resorting
to such means to gain private ends.
This of itself, shows full we'll, that his
intentions are, to couch his language
in just such words aS he thinks are cal
culatcd to asperse my character, and
then allow him chance to eVade
responsibility if called upon for proof.
The readers of the Ledger know full
well, that his letter of the 7th, speaks
for itself, and forever sets at rest, any
question in regard to the alleged hear
says; and that instead of publishing
hearsay as alleged, he assumed to have
the proof ready to substantiatc posi-
tive assertions, in case | dared reply
to them.
The excuse that he only asked for
because | seemed to he
well posted in affairs out there, is but
the merest twaddle. There never was
referred to by me, as having
in that neighborhOo1, but |
what had been previously published
in the newspapers of the country, and
was well known to the public. | GER
tainly had right to express views
upon those published statements, and
IN so doing | was certainly not invad-
ing the rights of any one. certainly
had right to vindicate my character,
when assailcd in the columns of the
Ledger, and when did this, | was GER
ainly not tresspassing upon the pa
ience Of the public. SHoCCo.

OF the nineteen Presidents, eXclud-
ing of course, Grant and Hayes, the
one who attained the greatest age, was
John Adams, who lived to be ninety
one. Assuming the Presidential chair
in 1897, succeeded by Jefferson i'm 1901,
he lived on for Il quarter of a century.
The next in number of years was
Thomas Jefferson, WHO dying on the
same day as John Adams, had attain
ed the age of S3. John Quincy Adams
was third, having lived 81 years. The
fourth in age was Van Buren, who,
born in 17Sl, died in 1862, aged so
years. Taking the average age of the
Presidents, it is found to be little less
than ~ years The oldest man who
was made President was Harrison,
who was GS when inaugurated. The
youngest was Gen. Grant, who was
made President when he was A.

Dan Hughes is hardworking, un-
lettercd negro man, who has for sew
eral years rented portion of the
Huntington place, adjoining the town.
\ few nights since he was shot at
through Il crack, or hole, In his door.
Dan is an earnest aVOWed Democrat
though no office or favor seeker, in
politics. He informs us that ever since
the election certain negroes have
hahitually in passing his house, cursed
and reyiled him. aS Il Democrat ~
And on the occasion of the shoot
ing, he and his wife heard three or
four engaged in this pastime close by
his door, from whom the shot pro-
ceeded. He saw them distinctly enough
as they ran away Ia discover that they
were negroes but if he had any sus-
piciOn of who they are he is afraid to
tell.
We have had this matter carefully
investigated, and Of its certainty have
no doubt. That this malevOlent muir
derOus temper is prevalent with many
negroes who were in carpet-bag times
conspicuous as tools of that class. is
unfortunately true. We have had in
formation of several other avnwed
Democratic negroes being cursed and
abused for their politics since the late
Republican triumph. We do not
think that our white citizens need to
be reminded that they owe a duty To
the politically prosecuted persons of
the weaker race in our community.
At its meeting ON Monday last our
County Executive Committee iu-
structed G.. II. Smith, Chairman, to
offer reward of 500 for the detection
of those who attempted To assassinate
Dan Hughes. This is only i'm further
