A MELANCHOLY WHINE.


The Statesman, 3 so-called Demo-
cratic organ, without a following-a
paper that never misses an oppor-
tunity to turn a penny, whether
honest or otherwise, in its advocacy
of candidates for of1ice-takes acca-
sion in its last issue to assail the
INDEPENDENT in its usual high
toned manner. 1t starts off with a
pretended knowledge Of the entire
business affairs Of the INDEPEN-
DENT, and asserts that "nine-tenths
of the paper is owned by Mr.. J. n.
Wisner," and "that he undoubtedly
controls its editorial columns" That
statement is just about as near the
truth as the reliable editor of the
Statesman ever gets, and the asser-
tion is utterly false. We have the
same right to presume, and with
more semblance Of truth, that the
article in the Statesman to which we
refer, il not written by the Hon. ID.
b. Lucas, was undoubtedly" the
offspring of his fertile imagination,
and is tinged with his characteristic
venom. lie was here a day or two
this week, and spent the most Of his
time in the Statesman office. The
assertion to which we allude, is fol
lowed by the revamped twaddle
about Hayes postmaster" in order
to give it the desired effect.
At present we have only to say
that the INDEPENDENT feels en-
tirely competent to manage its pri-
vate business without the advice or
intermedling of Mr.. Lucas or his
"organ," and, notwithstanding their
objections, will continue to discuss
public men and measures, and give
its readers the news, political and
otherwise, in its own way, and after
its own fashion, aiming only to be
truthful, just and impartial
The Statesman says the INDEPEN
DENT "for the last several weeks
has taken a very active, and as we
think, a very improper part in adyo-
eating the claims of Judge Hoge TO
a denomination at the hands of the
Democratic party of this district"
Now the fact is the INDEPENDENT
has not actively or passively adyo-
Gated the denomination of Judge
Hoge. 1t has not said a word in
favor Of his denomination. His
claims to denomination have been
advocated through its columns by
correspondents from all parts Of the
county, and these correspondents,
with perhaps a single exception, are
all Democrats, and better Democrats
than the editor of the Statesman can
prove himself to be.
No doubt Nh Lucas and his
"organ" think it very Improper"
for the INDEPENDENT to discuss
political matters, and call for "bot-
tom facts aud demand fair play,
when the discussion and the facts
evolved therefrom are not just suited
to their purposes. We can't help it,
and have no disposition to do SO.
The INDEPENDENT is not tied to
the cOat-tail Of any man, 1t is not
a neutral paper in any sense Of the
word, and does not propose to be. 1t
will discuss politics, advocate or OPP
pose men and measures as in its
Judgment the best interests Of the
whole people demand, "unawed 10y
influence or bribed by GAIN" Nh.

the prospects over which the more

Tyler County Wool Growers

The Tyler county HldcpeRdent
gets out its largest letters and head
lines to give the proceedings Of
their late wool growers meeting.
In regard to the sheep business in
that county it says:
"a number of our farmers who
have been engaged in the sheep
business for the past two or three
years. are beginning TO realize
handsomely from the business.
They have now their farms stock
ed, and many Of them this spring,
are shipping fat sheep to market
for mutton, after having stripped
the wool off. The increase from
lambs this spring will more than
make up for the depletion. There
is less hard labor and more mon
ey in the sheep business than in
anything else our farmers can en-
gage in"
Che Manchester Mass Union
thinks that rotation in office is like
rotation in human lives. 1t is

are fitted to fill any more than
they should crowd him out of life

A MAN found in church in II eW
York was sent to the States prison
for two years and six months. Not
because there Is any law prohibiting
the male sex from attending church
as might be inferred from the limit
ed number who attend i'll that city,
but the fellow was a thief and Sc
creted for the purpose of robbery.
THE question is being agitated
whether the United States Govern
ment shall not appropriate enough
of the public funds to bring home
the bodies of belong and his com
panions, who lost their lives on the
Jeanette expedition. This under
taking was a private enterprise and
whatever there is necessary to car
ny it to an appropriate conclusion
may be properly done by private en-
terprise. 1t would scarcely be be-
coming to Mr.. Bennett after getting
all the credit of sending out the eX-
petition to permit the Government
to bring back its remains. Howso-
ever deeply we may sympathize with
the friends of those who were lost,
and regret that valuable lives were
sacrificed in foolish attempt to
gain fame, we cannot see what pub
lie good is to be done 10y bringing
back to America the lifeless bodies
of those who persisted at the mouth
of the Lena.
