The Denison (Texas) Herald has
proper conceptions of what is re.
quired Of an editor. It says:
"To be q good editor does no de.
mand that a man should fill his
paper with what he thinks upon
every conceivable subject, but rather
the skill, knowledge and tact to com.
pile, clip and condense we'll, to en-.
deavor to present to his readers the
best thought Of other men, not that
other men are necessarily smarter
than he is, but because from q Va.
riety Of opinions he can get the
best and lay that before his readers.
Common sense and modesty cou.
pied with journalistic experience are
the qualifications which produce
good editors. The most brilliant
scholars often make the poorest
editors, and the best editors are
those who can combine entertain.
ment, amusement and instruction,
and these qualities are rarely found
10 good writer's, bat in men who are
good solicitors. The notion that a
paper is not good If not original is
nonsense. It may be regarded 50
las We previously stated among
newspaper men, but it 10 not true,
and the readers do not regard it in
that light, and tho soonsr we get rid
Of that notion and learn to edit well,
the better paper We win mako and
the better our subscribers will be-
pleased

An area of 5000 acres has been
planted with trees in Kansas under
the new Law relating to arborculture.
The cotton was largely planted on
lccoant Of its rapid growth, and
I6,00o acres were set with walnut
trees. The expectation is that this
will operate, in course Of time, to
relieve the climate Of its extreme
dryness.

The Repeal Of the Internal Revenue
SYSTEM.


The Democratic platform demands
the repeal of the internal revenue
system, says the Raleigh Observer
That system was not adopted by
Democratic votes. Even during the
throes of war the Democrats did
not SUSTAIN or support the introduc
ton Of this iniquitons system into
our government. 1t was a Republi.
can measure, born in Republican
councils and nursed by their states
men. One would have supposed
that as we recede from the period OF
the war this war tax would be light.
ened, but it grows heavier rather
than dimishes. The Democrats have
always denounced it as an oppres-
sive exaction and they have consid
cred that the Republicans, in enforc-
ing this odious law, have not temper.
ed its severity by mild aud merci-
full administration, but have been
harsh and cruel in prosecuting citi-
zens for alleged violations of the let.
ter Of the statute.
When, as in 1877 and 1873, the
net customs duties amounted to only
$124, OOO, 900 and the net internal
revenue amounted to only go, 900,
600, together being but 1921 900,
600 net revenue, there was no posi-.
bility of doing without these taxes.
The expenses of the government did
not admit Of the repeal at that time.
But now the results of Democratic
legislation have put a new aspect on
affairs. We have to pay off only
$40, 00O, 900 Of bonds 10 the next
ten years-an average of $44, 600,
600 . year. Our interest account 10
$50, OOO, 600, and We are s22s, OOO, 900
ahead in our payments to the sink
ing fund. While this showing is SO
good in this direction, the receipts
from customs have been enormous.
The sl24, 0OO, 900 of revenue derived
from this source in 1873 have risen
to 1915, 0O0, 900 estimated by the
Secretary Of the Treasury for the
next year. Besides the Republicans
cannot forever keep the country
with the present tariff. The
tariff win be reformed at an early
day, and with . reform will come
larger importations and more reve-
nue. from that source. Under these
circumstances no one can longer
doubt that the time has arrived
when the wishes of the Democrats
can be carried into effect in regard
to abolishing the internal revenue
system. The system is no longer
indispensably necessary for the
government, and it win be wiped
away by the Democrats at the next |
Congress, and all its iniquities will |
be q thing Of the past. There must |
be an end Of iniquities, and this in. |
iquity win find its end at the as |
Of thenext Congress, which
We have every reason to believe will
be Democratic by a large majority.

ECONOMY.

Pataha City Spirit
There is no happiness in living be-
yond ones means. Those who have
no debts. who pay as they go and
make this their rule, are more careful
and economical than those who buy
on credit whatever they may desire
or think they need. Buying on credit
is our national bane, an evil which
saps the foundation ofour social COM
fort. It keeps q man in debt, in
creases his expenses, makes his neces-
sities greater, and tempts him to risk
his property in vain efforts to extri-
cate himself from pecuniary difficult
ties. It is quite easy to spend what
we have not, but man always thinks
twice before he breaks upon small
accumulation which he already has,
and will rather add to it than trench
upon it. Therefore, the habit OF saw
ing once created is safe guard against
careless spending, and should be en-
couraged in every legitimate and
proper way. There is in economy
that is mean and stingy, but it is very
easy to avoid this fault without falling
into the opposite vice Of extravaganza,
and to hit the happy mean of sensi-
BILE and wholesome economy.
