The Country Editor.

Atlanta Constitution.
TIE country editor las a hard time
of 1t He IS the reporter, book
keeper, mechanical superintendent,
hus ness manager. collector, mailing
machine, aud soliciGiug agent of the
establishment. His work is hard,
his receipts small and his creditors
numerous In small town an editor
has TO steer bis course so as to avoid
giving offence to different circles of
society, the religious denominations,
the business community, and the
rural population. If an Influential
old farmer wants a three column
notice of his new barn, it must appear
or the editor may lose a hundred
subscribers. Patchwork quilts, big
beets and phenomenal eggs also
clamor for space in the columns of
the country paper. In the course of
time the rural scribe becomes either
jocsse or morose, but In either frame
of mind he continues to make friends
who demand free advertising, and
enemies who work against MIN.
The country editor is always getting
ready to abandon journalism tor some
thing else. but he rarely carries out
his threat. He generally dies in
harness. In some wild communities
editors occasionally meet with rough
treatment. Sometimes they are
driven out of the country, and when
other methods of getting rid of them
fail, they are sent to the Legislature.
The city editor gets good deal of fun
out of the country editors work, but
the man Who bears the burden
regards it as serious business, And
in the best sense it is serious. The
little local weeklies scattered all over
the country are in their way potential

W. II. GRAIN, who is seeking the Dem
ooratic nomination for Congress in the
Seventh district, in speech at Browns
Vile last week, asked the question
What good could be accomplished for
the Democratic constituency of the dis
trict by sending Republican to Dem
ocratic house? Such sentiments are sim
ply bosh, and are no credit whatever to
the honorable gentleman making them.
Congressman Ochiltree represents the
district to which Mr.. Grain is aspiring,
and he is Republican, and no man Will
question the fact that he has done as
much for it and his entire constituency
as the best Democrat in the State could
or would have done, and as the Honor
able Tom has sent word that he will be
home to take hand in the coming cam
paign for reelection, it is quite likely
Mr.. Grain will be better able to decide
the question he asks later in the season.

a YOUNG South Carolinlan has been
studying the subject Of cotton picking
by machinery for number of years,
but not until 1882 did he hit upon the
essential principle of his proposed in
vention. One of his machines was suf-
liciently complete last autumn for trial
in cotton field near Sumter, S. C. Its
practical success was, 1t is said, then
demonstrated, although the principle
was not yet as effectively applied as he
desired, Plenty of capital has been at
his disposal and for nine months Mr..
Mason has been industrlously expert
menting to secure greater efficiency,
strength, lightness and simplicity in
construction, and TO reduce friction. lie
now feels sonfident that the machine is
nearly or quite perfect, though he is
conservative In his statements. Ten
machines. suited to different modes Of
planting, varieties of cotton, and other
conditions, have been built for trial this
season.

fused to sign the bill empowering the
Board of Estimate and Apportionment
to appropriate $4,000 Of city funds for

severe blow to the committee. Private

fact remains that New York, which
really gets the benefit Of this splendid
monument, will have to provide the
means for It's erection, Notwithstanding
the very niggardly manner In which the
enterprise has so far been treated.

The fact that Joe Sayers in wild way
criticised some Of the acts of the adj
ministration OF the old aloalde is sufl-
cient in the eyes of some OF the unterri-
fled to make him ineligible as a candl-
date for Congress. The matter has been
frequently alluded TO of late, but the
following from the Blanco Star-Vindica-
tor, Is the most positive. That paper
says: "The Democrats of the Tenth
district have not forgotten how Joe
Sayers treated Governor Roberts, while
a member Of the Governors political
family, and they will not be likely to
nominate him for Congress either. When
a man commits an act unbecoming n
good Democrat, in this great State of
Texas, he may consider himself pollti-
oally dead. Had Sayers proved himself
true to his trusts he would have stood
as good chance for this nomination as
any other man, but it's all over with him
now. The last nail has been driven
into his political coffin and he made 1t
himself too, consequently he has no
grounds for complaint. lie chose his
own bed and there let him lie.'

TIM New York Sun, on the tariff ques-
tion, says: without New York the
overthrow of the Democracy is uncer-
tain, and the great question is-lIow can
New York be carried for the Democratic
party? If Mr.. Tilden were the candl-
date no platform would be necessary,
but with any other man who may be
nominated, there must not only be Il plat
form, but its nature is almost as impor-
tant, and it may be as decisive as the
quality of the candidate himself. In his
speech, on taking the chair, in the
National Republican committee, Mr.. b.
+. Jones said that the Democratic party
must be held to its record on free trade
and tariff for revenue only This is
the ground on which the Republicans
wish and hope to fight the campaign,
and If the Democrats will accommodate
them the election of Mr.. Blaine will be
assured in July

character, who never did nor never
would have the interests Of the people
at heart. In this Mr.. Blaine displays
remarkable shrewdness. IL is high
time that something was being done to
prove to the people Of the South that
they are no longer regarded as enemies
to the Government. A bes!en and con-
quered people, who have bowed and sub
mitted, do not love to be forever humil-
lated over the actions and scenes Of the
past. If II be admitted that the South
was wrong, still that does not justify
the North in its ungenerous practice Of
blowing the ashes and Goals into flames
again"
Ia LANTERNE has n remarkable story
about the "Sunbeam" diamond, sug-
gested by the exhibition of precious
stones at Paris. In 1866 diamond val
ued at over 5000, 900 was found In Chill
ian mine near Csracotes. Its owner
MIR. joan Pareso, hawked II about Eu-
rope. and at length found purchaser In
Queen Victoria. 1t was put into the
hands of Bond street, London, jeweler
to be set, and for eight days was exhib-
tied In his window. One fine morning
the jeweler found the case In which 1t
was specially set apart broken and the
jewel gone. No trace Of the thief could
be found, and the jcweler partially In
IDENTIFIED the Queen for her loss. On
the 9TH Of May there died In n miserable
lodging in Strasburg man OF seventy,
named Julian Partridge. His landlord
was amazed to find in Partridge's peck
ct huge diamond, wrapped up In let
ter, telling that he, finding himself
dying, wished to explain that the dia-
mohd in his pocket was the "Sunsbeam,"
which he had stolen, but, knowing that
MIR. Pareso had shown 1t all over Eu-
rope, he had not, after all, dared to at
tempt to sell IL. The diamond was re-
turned to the Queen, who, Of course,
repaid the jeweler.

That was good deal of gall dis
played, If the New York Sun is to be
believed, when an old-time Republican
wrote to Mr. Dana and asked him to
support Mr.. Blaine. The Sun is an en-
terprising paper, but 1t did not give the
name OF this Republican, and 1t leaves
the matter in about the same position
as II 1t were great big scheme for the
sun to show of its devotion to the
Democratic party. Republicans who
