THE WICKED EDITOR.

A Little Rock newspaper man while
out IN the country stopped at rude
farm house for dinner. Thinkin. that
his profession would insure marked at
teotion be remarked to the farmer
"Necd'rt put yourself to any extra trou-
bic for me, for I'm an editor" "a
what p asked the farmer regarding the
visitor with newly awakened interest.
"A newspaper man "Wall, | reckon
you can get sunthing to eat anything,
Some folks mout not gin you no,hin' on
this account, but | never was very par
,iculsr, But hold on, Editor did un-
dcrstand YOU to say p "les, sir, ! am
an editor, and however uDfavorable it
may strike you, must say that ! am
proud of my calling" an bet 800
you are one of the fellows that helped
to take bell outcn the Bible. Reckon
you'd better travel Never mind the

TIM rELHoRAPaERs aTRIKE

The Seattle Herald has the following
sensible suggestions:
"As one Of the attendant cireumstau.
ces Of the telegraph strike, it is noted
that 4 proposition has been mooted
among the strikers looking to the organ
'zation OF a Joint stock company by the
recalcitrans operators, and the construc-
ton of an opposition telegraph line. The
Los Angeles Express, commenting upon
this idea, very forcibly and correctly says:
This i one Of the many vagaries
which crop iu crisis Of the kind. Jay
Gould would own control Of the stock
in twelve mouth" We certainly hope
that the men who have already been put
to SO much losssaud inconvenience, if not
absolute suffering, by reason Of the cold
blooded avarice Of these corporations will
not send good money on q wild goose
chase for bad The world Is wide, and
men who think themselves ill-treated by
avaracious employers eau finally find
something to do outside Of tho common
rat they move in, If they will only try.
Telegraph lines fully equipped aud COZ
Quoted in such manner ~ as to make
them reliable aud fit TO command remu
norative business, need immense sums t,
put them working order, and keep then
going until "thc returns come ia." w
trust that our striking friends will bca
this sclf-evident truth in mind, and NO
commit themselves to losses which 70
the most part they are unable to bea,
We are more and more Of the opinion, u
each day brings forth new dcvelopemen,
in the telegraphic muddle, that the on,
come will be that the United States go,
crnmcnt will have little postal telcgrap
system Of its own. The necessities G
the army and navy, and the requiremen,
Of the transportation service, both by ri,
er and land carriage, will demand = Sci
vice which cannot be at the mercy @
grasping capital or underpaid labor"
! 1t is NOT quite likely that the U. S
government will not only have TO assum
and control the telegraphic system, bu
will have to impose restrictions upon raj
roads before controversies will end.
