A FALL.

Successors to oX-Senators Conkling
and Plat, 81 New York, have been
elected; AMI both Messrs. Conkling
and Plat have been retired 10 pri-
yatc hfe-onc disgraced, and both
humbled. Tie disappointment must
indeed Is great Is both OF course
they resigned their seats If their
own free will, but undoubtedly they
would never have resigned had they
not felt confident that combined
they were able 10 dictate their own
reelection The fall Of Platt is not
50 great rs the fall Of Conklng, be-
cause lie did net fall from such a
height but likely his disappoint-
ment is no les. Senatorial honors
were new 10 him and consequently
more rehshcd.
The fall Of Cenkling has no par
allel III modern party politics. He
has not gone down with party, but
lie has gone down while his party
has prospercd. 4 little over a year
ago no man was thought to stand
higher in the Republican party than
he, and now he can hardly be said
to have any standing at all in the
party. In June, 1880, he was thought
II be strong enough e force a third
term candidate on his party \ 1t
tie later, in this attempt, it was
thought, and ri ,htly too, that with
out his efforts the candidate Of the
republican party could not be elected
10 the presidency. Vow It is dem
onstrated that lie is unable to reflect
himself to a senatorship from lis
own state, the political influence of
which he was thought to hold in the
palm of his hand.
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1881-07-29

reelection. Now he is fallen from
position, from rank, from the leader
ship of his party. To-day he is a
mere private citizen, with no en-
icouraging prospects for the future.
He may stretch forth his hands in
vain, and for many years fail t.
clutch power again. Mr. Conkling
has reached the full meridian of life,
and his recent mistakes and foibles
cannot be overlooked in that gener-
Gus spirit which pardons much 70
the indiscretion Of youth He stands
facing a dark if not rayless future.
No rainbow Of promise spans the
sky. Nor in the order OF nature
and in the ordinary course Of hui
man affairs can he reasonably ex-
pect to behold any new morn on his
midday risen. With those who re-
joice over the fall of Roscoe Conk-
ling for personal reasons, or in any
Esprit Of exultation or petty triumph,
we have no feeling in common. Far
from it. We remember him as a
true patriot during the war. We
recall with pride the bright perform
ances and more brilliant promise 81
his earlier and better days. We
held too much III common with him
then and battled BY his side too long
to contemplate his overthrow even
now without some degree Of painful
emotion. But while personally VIC
might pause to drop 4 tear into his
political grave, for the sake Of the
lcountry We rejoice over his downfall.
First. because il him falls the fore
most enemy Of the freedom Of the
press in America. second, because
in him falls one Of the inventors
ana the chief promoter Of the IN
constitutional electoral commission
which dcfauded the people Of the
United States out Of Their own choice
for president for four years, inaugu-
rating Hayes in place of the elected
Tilden Third, finally, and above
all else, because in Roscoe Conkling
falls the leader OF the third-term
party, who would overthrow the free
constitution Of the United States and
erect 40 empire on its ruins.

Remarkable Growth Of journalism in
The United States.

George 7. Rowell ( Cos. Ameri-
can Newspaper Directory for 1881,
Just issued, contains the following
concerning newspapers:
The names Of lO,SIG newspapers
and periodicals i'll the Uuitcd States,
tie territories and Canada arc given.
Excluding Canada, 1926 are issued
in the United States and the terrific
rics; being IN increase of 5l1 over
the corresponding 9,723 mentioned
in the edition Of the directory for
1850, and an increase Of 5,014 over
the 5,253 issued lust twenty years
ago. The American Republic, among
all nations, is the first Of which it
may be said that it possesses more
Chan ten thousand papers II IS
noteworthy that while lie Increase
in population since 1861 reaches lit
tie more than go per cent, the growth
ia the number OF papers is over 95
per cent; 50 that there is now one
paper to 4,SS3 inhabitants. The
dailics have more than doubled in
number, aud the wceklies exhibit a
great ratio of increase: while the
comparatively few monthlies exist
ing i'll 1861 have arrived to the
handsome total Of 969 The great
addition t. monthlics is due mainly
to the establishment, during later
years, Of trade and other class
publications, which, while they are
thought more or less Indispensable
to thcirrespcctigc constituencies, are
yet able 10 fulfil their missions in
twelve issues L year Some Of the

4 Difficult Task.

One OF the most difficult tasks
that can be required of man that
lives in 2 small county town, and
one which the editor Of every rural
weekly is compelled 10 perform
regularly, il, to evolve from three
to five columns of raey local items
from his innate consciousness for the
dedication Of his readers, iii each
ana every issue Of his paper. Now
this il a comparatively easy matter
in z large town, where events of inn
portance are occurring daily; but iii
4 small village where L runaway or
dog-tight constitutes an epoch IN
the history Of is people, aud 4 dwell
ing On fire Is i matter Of talk for 4
twelvc-month, lit is a task to which
either or all Of the twelve labors of
Hercules would be & mere bagatelle,
and which not infrequently drives
the distracted quill-driver to the
verge OF lunacy. There may be alb
solutely nothing TO write about
the week may have been as barren
of events rs though it were passed
in the heart Of the Great Sahara; 49,
and yet that poor mortal, the editor.
/ is expected Is dish ZIP III crisp and
gossipy style a whole budget Of
murders. runaway-matches, casual
ties. crltiques. wittieisms, accidents,
catastrophies, etc, etc. as if the lit
tie burg in which he lived was as
lively as New York city. And if in
his desperation lie IS tempted 10 fill
UP those yawning columns with
items borrowed from exchanges,
great is the indignation he brings
down upon his devoted head; so in
his utter extremity he is compelled
to evolve (as we said before), local
happenings from his innate con-
sciousneSs, and to do that little thing
successfully requires the brain of a
Cincinnati penny-a-liner, and the
check of eolporteur or 8 book
agent, In view of these facts the
public should be more lenient and
less exacting toward that poor, much
to-be-pitied devil, the editor. and
not eonsign him to Tartarus If his
paper does not brim over with items
of interest in a place where no items
| of interest are oceurring.-R. c.
