"MANHoOD C0NFRoNTS HIM.

"MANHOOD CONFRONTS HIM."
This is good campaign watchword that
the dispatch has given the party. Yes,
truly does manhood confront Mahone.-
True as it was. when first suggested by
the manly stand of the Big Four. the re-
sistance of Mr.. Massey, the independent
position taken by Dezendorf and the de-
sertion of Col. Ruffin, it Is still further
illustrated by the fierce attack of Fulker-
son, the open rebellion of Woltz, the COL
fusion of Round, the candid disclosures
of Young, the restiveness of Jorgenson and
the general mutiny in the Coalition camp
of those who could no longer brook slav-
isfr control.
A man who truly realizes the rights his
manhood confers upon him, cannot and
will not submit to the dictation of one
who from mere accident of position and
natural shrewdness, asserts a superiority
all the more CALLING from the fact that in
his heart he cannot acknowledge it.
The constituencies of his manhood has
been for time blunted by gratitied pride
and personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, but even IA
vors become oppressive when the recipient
is repeatedly reminded of the source from
whence they come, and a man grows rest
i've under the weight Of an obligation
when he finds that from time to time he is
called upon to acknowledge the act, and
it ceases to be regarded as a kindness
when the recipient finds that he has to pay
for it. Thus it is that the eyes of the Of
fice-holding Mahonite are being opened.
He got his apportionment thinking it was
given in recognition of valuable services
to the party, and that he had the esteem
and confidence of his GLORIOUS leader, -
and he felt grateful and loyal, and hurrah-
ed for the Boss.
But question of opinion or preferen ce
arises; he dares to have mind of his own
and his Boss telegraphs. II have had him
removed Then he realizes that he is a
slave, and all his fellows realize that
they are slaves that their positions are
worth only as much as their obedience,
that part of their salary is at the COM
mand of their master, and that at his nod,
off goes their heads. Ability is nothing,
competence is nothing, long service and
friends are nothing, servile obedience is
all, or down comes the axe. and off goes
the head. This sort of thing can It last long
with men. The manhood of some, more
Independent than the rest, must assert it.
self. He revolts, the ranks are broken
one after another revoIts, the Boss and
his people cry treason, treason, but the
army of TRAITORS" grows by fresh Access
sions every day, and it will soon be so for
midable that the tyrant will have to ac-
knowledge formidable alliance of his late
friends against him, and instead of max
ing war against TRAITORS will have to
act on the defensive and take care of him.

1t is rumored that Malone and Cameron
propose to make a canvass in desperate
effort to whip 10 the ''renegades, traitors"
and weak kneed C0alitionists, and that
President Arthur will accompany the two
to some portions of the State. Nav the
report be true. Malone and Cameron with
Arthur in person to back them would SET
tie all doubts among the Readjuster Dem

there would be smooth ailing for the De-
mocracy afterwards. Let them come, the

SEVERAL philanthropists and other in
dividuals, who are constantly borrowing
trouble by looking after the welfare of the
generations unborn, are growing alarmed
lest the American forests are destroyed and
we are left without woodlands. Professor
Charles S. Sargent of Harvard University,
recommends the passage of State laws pro-
hibiting the pasturage of cattle in forests
and also compelling the logger under the
penalty Of fine, or even imprisonment to
carefully collect and burn during the win
ter in which the trees are cut every part of
them not carried away" This may be
considered the inconsistent keynote of the
fellows who clamor for the life of our
forests. 1t is presumed the farmer will
continue to chop down at will his hickories
and sturdy oaks long after we dwell in the
unknown pineries.

JOURNALISM is Arkansas is an exciting
and uncertain vocation. Yesterday Charles
Matthews, editor of the Hornet, at Hot
Springs, Ark, was shot and killed in an
atfray with two of the most prominent
citizens of that valley of vapors, Colonel
Fordycc, a leading capitalist, and Colonel
Rugg, one of the proprietors of the Arling-
ton, the leading hotel of the place. The
fight grew out of Matthews violent news
paper articles. The deceased editor had led
an eventful life. AS a reporter at Austin,
Tex, he was expelled from the halls of the
Legislature. Later he was acting as bar
keeper in saloon kept by man named vii.
son, when he was shot and badly wounded,
and Wilson killed in an alteration with the
notorious Ben Thompson, now Marshal of
Austin. A few years ago he established
the Sentinel at Hot Springs. He speedily
got into newspaper row with DIR. Lindc,
then Mayor, in which he was desperately
wounded and lay at deaths door for
months. Now he has fallen, victim to
his violent and vindictive method of jour.
nalism. His taking off should be warn-
ing to certain journalists hereabouts!

The N. Y. Ass. Press ana Jay Gould

The n. Y. Ass. Press ana Jay Gould.
The New York Herald breaks out into
lamentations this morning. 1t uses up
column and half of its alleged editorial
space in bowling forth objurgations at Jay
Gould because that enterprising gentleman
has pocketed the New York Associated
Press. This association is an organization
of seven New York papers for the
supposed purpose Of gathering the news
and giving it to the public without preju-
dice or bias Those seven papers are the
New York Herald Tribune, Times, Sun,
World, Journal of Commerce and Mail and
Express. Jay Gould, the Herald asserts,
pocketed the Tribune, the World, and the
Mail and Express some time ago and,
having the control Of the Western Union
Telegraph, proposed to consolidate the N.
Y. Ass. Press with it and run both institu-
tions for his own glory and profit. This
scheme the Herald goes on to say, has
been made successful by the Suns going
over to Gould.
For the life of us we fail to sec the neces-
sity for all this shrieking on the part Of
the Herald Suppose Jay Gould has put
the N. Y. Ass. Press deep down in his pistol
pocket, what of it2 Who is it going to hurt
Who will be deceived by the news it sends
out? Certainly no intelligent, discerning
man.
The fact is that the n. Y. Ass. Press has
long ceased to be either reliable or an
energetic gatherer of news; and the pre-
tense that it serves out its news
mi md hau
been used for partisan or private purposes
is as false as hell and as malicious as sin
The N. Y. Ass. Press has been used time
and time again to- promote personal
schemes and to injure private as well as
official persons. To pretend the contrary
is as foolish as 1t is false, and can deceive
no one who has been in the habit of read
ing the telegraphic news critically.
No Jay Gould's gobbling up the N. Y
Ass. Press will neither injure nor deceive
any one. That association has outlived it,
usefulness, and is every day distanced by
its young and enterprising competitor, thu
United Press Association, which sends ou
trustworthy and unbiased news. To com
pare the work Of the two associations, TAX
the account Of the great railway disaster
at New York city yesterday as furnished
THE CRITIC by the United Press Associa
tion and that furnished the Star by tho N
Y. Ass Press.
That in The CRITIC was full, complet,
and accurate; that in the Star was meager
disjointed and almost worthless. Reader.
who want all the news must therefore tax,

The Herald's furious squealing is, unde
the circumstances, more calculated to Great
amusement than indignation.
