ADVICE TO CoRREsPoNDESTs.-
Many otherwise excellent newspaper
correspondents do not seem to appre-
ciate the Importance of reporting their
news while it is still fresh. News,
unless Immediately reported, is like
" TO prove anything else but news.
To hold back an important occurrence
or item until more is secured is not
only a most common custom but a
very great mistake. The item is al
most sure to make its appeara nee in
some other paper sooner, and when
the correspondents letter arrives the
items are stale. Every newspaper
correspondent should continually bear
this in mind. An important item
promptly reported doubles It's value.
while one unduly delayed Is likely to
lose what value it originally had.

The Fort Smith New Era has
been putting its little oar into the
troubled waters with a feeble eff
fort to assist the colored people in
guiding their craft through the
school controversy, greatly to the
qualification of the Bourbon press
of the state. For the benefit of
the ever jealous in these matters,
we would say that the colored
people are only asking justice at
the hands of the powers that be
nothing more. There is no
disposition On our part to mani
fest an aggressive spirit Of unfair
selfshness in these matters. A
fair opportunity to educate our
youth is all we ask or desire.

POLK

This country experienced a gen.
unine surprise in the trial and
conviction of ex-State Treasurer
Polk of Tenn, last week. After
the case was given to the jury,
they were not long in making
up their verdict, which was a
regular ''soc doliger." They
treated him just as they would
have done in the case of any oth-
er thief ofless standing in society.
There seems to be a largo streak
of the Jacksonian notion of off,
cial virtue and integrity running
through the unlettered back
woodsman sort of people of that
state, yet of which this jury was
composed.
Some of these days, we hope,
when, we know not, there will be
an opportunity in Arkansas, to
test a jury of Arkansians in sim
liar case.

We are sorry to observe the
fact that some of the brethren Of
the Knights of Tabor are not
dwelling in unity as they should
do. A correspondent Of the Cal.
70 Gazette, who signs himself
K of T., thus describes some
brethren of the other faction:
"Sir Hardin Smith, the CO
NJ, so styled, i, a black, double
jeinted, thick Tipped, red eyed,
fiat nose, box ankled, knocked
kneed looking puke, and his
voice is a whine, and a more ig-
norant creature never was bern.
Now. if you want to see G w
Guy, just catch a male ground
hog, and put a hat on his head;
the only difference is the ground
hog has the sharpest nose. He
also resembles the hyena, and
looks just as wild and savage as
one.
Well, as for Mr. johnson, he is
hard to describe, for no one ever
saw anything in the line Of ami
NAL or human that locked like
him."

lar case.

Speaking of press associations,
the Peoples Advocate thinks a
national one impossible at this
time, and suggests that 'sthe press
of New England, the Middle
States. Maryland, the District of
Columbia, Virginia and West
Virginia, with population Of a
million, form one among them
Selves" and that like combina-
tions be made by the other Sec
tions. second the motion and
suggest that the press of New
England, the Middle States, Ma
ryland, the District of Columbia
and the Virginians meet the first
Monday in October, at Philadel-
phia, where DIR. Tanner and the
Christian Recorder dwell and
have their being.-N Y Globe.
It would have been more salts
factory if the Advocate had stat~
ed the reasons which in it's opin-
ion make a national press associ>
alton impossible, as no such rea-
sons suggest themselves to our
minds. A national association
alone, can have sufficient men,
bership to make it a body of any
special weight or influence upon
public sentiment; in many in-
stances the utterances of the vari-
Gus little local associations would
neutralize each other or attract
little or no attention. Even if it
be deemed advisable to organize
local associations, some plan to
secure unity Of uction should be
adopted, either by constituting
these associations auxiliaries to
national, or by some system of
compensation. The process of
disintegration, once begun, may
prove to be very difficult to ar,
rest.
United we stand divided we
fall. Let us take our turns in
being president, all cannot fill
the lofty position at the same
time. Meet with us, be friend
ly, and we will divide with you.
Notwithstanding our majority,
we mean the fair thing.

The long delay in capturing the
supposed Connecticut colored man
who committed the outrage upon
two white women, recently, deep
ems the impression that the viii
lain was not eolored. There was
all impression in certain quarters
at the time that the criminal was
a white man blacked to cover his
identity. 1t has become a popu-
lar custom of rogues to disguise
themselves as colored men for the
purpose of committing crimes
from theft to murder and then
leave the authorities to look for a
coIored criminal, to arrest, con-
fine and disgrace every colored
man who bears any resemblance
to the disguise.-[ Progressive
American.
We are inclined to think that
the American has given a correct
explanation of much of the crime
laid to the charge of the colored
men in the south. Our papers
lately have been filled with ac-
counts of rapes attempted or con-
summated, and the usual result
has been that some colorcd man
has been hung or burned by
mob. An investigation, fairly
conducted, would in many of
these cases, have shown that the
victim knew nothing of the crime
and in others that no crime had
really been committed.

Referring to the committee on

Referring to the committee on
resolutions at the press conven-
ton at st. Louis, the Detroit
Plain Dealer says, that Brother
Horn Of the indianapolis World,
said that the committee on reso-
lutions was not composed Of edi-
tors of colored newspapers. We
would like either one Of the pa
pers to define what it takes to
make man an editor of a color
ed newspaper. Prot V A Nero is
editor and publisher of the Kan
sas City Enterprise, and is a gem
tleman that cannot be mistaken
as Bruce was, for a white man
and we think only Il blind man
could mistake either Simkens,
Simmons, or j M Turner. The
former two being sole editors and
publishers of their respective pa
pers. We would like to know
what steps are necessary to h5s,cc,ne
editors of colored newspapers.
Technically, the word colored has
ne national meaning, as all races
of the earth are colored except
the black races of Africa and
Caucasian races Of Europe and
America.
What does Bro. Horn mean,
does he think the committee was
composed of editors of white
newspapers because the work of
the committee received such eX-
tensive approval by the metro
politan press. Does Mr.. Horn
openly in print confess his ina
bility to successfully compete
with white men. If that is the
position of Indiana's representa-
tives, it certainly is not ours.

THE TILDEN BOOM.

1t is coming. Journal after
journal of the Bourbon "persua>
sion," which have heretofore been
outspoken in :heir opposition to
the old fraud, have "wabbled on
the gudgeon," acquiesced and
then have fallen into line and be-
gan to rehash the old, threadbare,
fraud, buncomb of six years ago.
A new system of Political tao
tics has been prepared to meet
the emergency for the next cam
paign. There will be no ''literary
bureau" this time to supply the
readers of the truly rural Bour-
bon press with political brain
pab. But instead there will be
s'tarls'' of newly minted silver
dollars, and armsfull Of fresh,
crisp bills, for gratuitous distribu-
tion among the faithful, Millions
of dollars, it is said, will be spent
in the next presidential canvass.
1t will be poured out through
every available channel, as freely
as is possible, and the country
will witness such stream of
fraud and corruption as never
before. But thank heaven. "there
is still a God in Israeli" and the
nefarious schemes of these corrup-
tionists will be circumvented and
come to naught, just as surely as
the sun rises on election day in
November, 1884.

The New York Sun says, that
Judge Foraker is not fit to be
governor of Ohio. This coming
from a disinterested source, might
have been considered as a start
ling bit of information. Under
the circumstances, however, we
shall not give the assertion that
serious consideration which the
case might seem to warrant up
on first blush. Stick to Dorsey,

you might lose your grip, and
your fabric of cussedness come
