IN THE COUNTY.

To-day the county campaign be-
gins to take on definite shape. Let
the people only be sure that this de-
finite shape is the one preferred by
them, and all will be well. The
party will need no repetition from
us, urging upon them the impor
lance of the preliminary steps. We
have hard fight before us, and the
lines are marked out to-day where
the skirmishers will stand. Let us
only be sure that these lines are the
ones by which we propose to abide,
and the campaign will be well be-
gun. 1t must be remembered that
success in Putnam county for 1884
will depend on the rank and file of
neither party. The balance of pow
er is held with US by an element
which decides calmly and votes
quietly, but whose voices are omnip-
otent in deciding the issue. Let no
principle be sacrificed or one word
or doctrine passed over in silence,
but let us show the spectators of the
fray that we prefer defeat in the
right to any compromise for expedi-
ency. If we abandon our opinions,
we accept merited defeat at the be-
ginning, for we shall be bound to
follow false gods reared on the al
tars of others. 81 had rather be
right than be president" said Henry

THE PUBIC FRENZY.

Is not our regular attack of mad
ness laughable? For it is as truly
a disease as intermittent fever. Hab-
it and experience have moderated
the paroxysms; the attacks are not
so violent or long continued, but
they are still distressing as we'll as
laughable. We have often been
amused at the apparently senseless
excitement into which a colony of
ants may be thrown by what seems
the slightest disturbance; do not
our election days furnish spectacleS
equally interesting to beings who
look down upon us? One would
think that argument would be used,
that the people sit as an intelligent
jury while those who aspired to lea
dership presented their opinions and
plans. But the jury itself catches
the infection, and wrangles equally
with the counsel, till no calm decis-
ion can be expected, and the preju-
dices of one party or the other as
sumes the force Of laws. Soon af-
forwards a reaction sets in, and the
pendulum swings as far to the other
side. So that seldom indeed does
moderation make it's still, small
voice heard and the best element of
our national society is kept out of
politics from dislike to the heat and
turmoil, the dust and dirt of politi-
cal strife. Cleon would not be dan
gerous to us, but many of our poll
ticians are worse. The demagogue
pure and simple has long beon dead,
but his successor fourishes like the
green bay tree.

THE PHILADELPHIA TIMES. 1894.

THE PHILADELPHIA TIMES. 1884.
The TINES Will enter upon the new year
stronger and more prosperous than ever be-
fore in its hlStOry-mOrc widely read and
quoted, more heartily commended and more
hercely criticized, with a more complete or
ganizatiOn, and an able ssOff of contributors
and with the same independence and fearless
ness that has made it successful and powerful
in the past.
THE TINES has no party to follow, no candi-
dates to advance, but will meet every issue, as
it has ever done. with consistent devotion TO
the right, TO honest government, and the pub
nc welfare. And, while maintaining its posi-
ton as the leading journal of Philadelphia, it
will aim to be continually in the advance in all
that can add value to a newspaper.
The value of a newspaper is not in its size or
display, but in the intelligence and care, the
cOnCiseness and freshness with which il is
edited. THE TIMES spends layishly for news
from all parts of the world, but all its dis
patches are carefully edited and condensed, in
order to give the complete news of the day in
the most concise and attractive shape, and with
it a large variety of entertaining and instruc-
tive reading. The best writers at home and
abroad are employed to enrich its columns
and to make it a journal adapted both TO the
busy man and to the leisure of the home cir
Gle, a welcome visitor to intelligent and honest
citizens Of every political, religious and social
taste.
THE WEEKLY TIMES is altogether different
from the weekly newspapers of twenty years
ago. The day of those papers have gone by.
The telegraph and better local newspapers
everywhere, especially in the thriving centres
of rural population have made the old weekly
metropolitan newspaper unsatlsfying- IhOse
that cling TO their ancient usages have lost
their hold on our mountaineering people; they
are but shadows of their former greatness, and
they have but a shadow of their former power.
Those papers have had their usefulness, but it
IS gone; and, with it, they are going, too. 1t
was not the fault of the papers: II was the i'm
prOyement Of the country that brought about
the change. Men and women, wherever they
live, now require fresher news; and they re-
quirC more than news.
THE WEEKLY TIMES gathers off the types of
every passing week whatever has lasting in
terest to the people at large, and sets it before
them in such generosity of paper and print as
would have astonished us all twenty yeors ago.
DAILY-Twelve cents a week. fifty cents a

lamentable occurrence have been.
If the jury was packed, who is re-
sponsibIe? If any public officer al
lowed prejudice to bias his official
conduct, who is the guilty party?
These questions will be most peril
merit and proper, and their import
ance should ensure investigation.
While the public should be allowed
every possible legal protection no in
fringement on the rights of private
property or those of the citizen is
excusable, and no injustice can be
done in this direction without bring
ing ruinous consequences in its train.
No care is too great and no expense
too heavy when made necessary in
such a cause. If any evidence has
escaped the search of the first inves-
tigation, we hope it will be secured
before a final judgment by petit
jury. The duty of attendance on
our courts is already onerous and
thankless enough, and consequently
it is evaded whenever possible by
those citizens whose presence is
most desirable; while misconduct
should be punished, we hope no one
will make use of such expressions I'M
less prepared to support them by
proofs before the proper tribunals.
We know that under our present
constitution with the rulings now in
vogue, IMMUNITY is generally secured
whatever may be done in such cases,
but the testimony ought to be made
public at any rate, that the people
may judge and public opinion right
the wrongs Of the law.

THE VERDICT

Elsewhere will be found the full
text of the decision which has been
reached by the jury of inquest held
to inquire into the circumstances
and causes attending the death of
E. r. Hall, Esq, on May 9th, uIt.
Whatever may be the opinion of in
dividuals, there can be no doubt
that the verdict has been found af-
ter careful collation. of the evidence
and after an investigation prolonged
from day to day for nearly a week.
The jury found itself in doubt as to
the conflicting testimony of witness
es in reference to the immediate
location of the collision, and by in
vitation of Capt. Lucas they made a
careful inspection of the ground and
examined witnesses on the spot,
where every advantage of local ex-
PLANTATION could be secured.
But whatever may be the result of
private judgment, the Importance
of the decision cannot be exaggerat-
ed. Our river is becoming crowded
with steamers; only most careful at
tention to the rules and regulations
can give security to the valuable
lives constantly entrusted to the
care of their officers, and whether a
petit jury shall confirm the conclus-
ion recorded by the inquest or not,
a warning is given to all, and the
Judgment reached by the "good men
and true" is legitimately expressed
as seemed good to them. But we
hope only partial critics will openly
lmpugn the motives of a jury whose
decision was reached after such con-
sclentious work as that performed bv
the body IN question. Already one
prominent citizen has seen fit to de-
clare his right to speak his mind and
openly said "That it was Bravo
jury, and the thing was one-sided!"
If any proof can be furnished for
such statement made by party pre-
sumably disinterested, we hope it
will be given to the grand jury at
next term, and the facts as thor
oughly sifted as those attending this

Gen. Lee Declined to Sell His Fame
Washington Special n. Y. Sun, Both.
General Lee; at the close of tho war,
received innumerable offers to engage in
commercial enterprises. Insurance COM
panies, railroads, and many large corpo-
rations at the South were anxious to pay
him any salary he might demand solely
for the use Of his name, without any la
Dor on his part, or the mourning of any
responsibility whatever. A committee
of Englishmen, with the Duke of Suth-
erland and Mr.. Beresford Hope at the
head, offered him in fee a splendid estate
in one of the midland counties of Eng
land, coupled with guarantee of an in
come of e5, 000a year as long as he lived
He gratefully declined all these offers,
and accepted the Presidency of Wash
ington and Lee University at salary of
$4,000 a year. Here he earned his living
as the hardest worker in hard working
faculty in training the youth of the coun-
try up to the very hour of the paralytic
stroke which immediately preceded his
death.
General Lee left three sons. They, too,
received many offers of a similar kind.
and likewise declined them. Two of
these sons are now prosperous planters
in Virginia. The third succeeded his
father in the Presidency of Washington
and Lee University, and has t1lled the
position with credit for the last thirteen
years.
The true American spirit shines in
General Lees example; the spirit which
prompted Washington and his Generals
when they retired from public service
enriched only with the recollections of
their great achievements, and scorning
to make merchandise of their fame.

THE SUN :
NEW YORK 1854.

N Il w O1Ghs 1901.
About sixty million copies of THE sun have
gone out Of our establishment during the past
twelve months.
If you were to paste end to end all the col
umns of all THE SUN printed aud sold last year
you would get continuous strip OF interesting
information, common sense wisdom, sound
doctrine, and sane wit long enough to reach
from Printing House square to the top Of
Mount COpernCus in the moon, then back to
Printing House square, and then three-quar-
tiers Of the way back to the moon again.
But THE sun is written for the inhabitants
Of the earth; this same strip Of intelligence
would girdle the globe twenty-seven or
twenty-eight times.
If every buyer of a copy Of THE Sun during
the past year has spent only one hour over il,
and if his wife or his grandfather has spent
another hour, this newspaper in 1888 has af
fOrded the human race thirteen thousand years
of steady reading, night and day.
1t is only by little calculations like these that
You can form any idea OF the circulation of the
most popular OF American newspapers, or Of
its influence on the opinions and actions Of
American men and women.
THE SUN is and will continue to be. a news
paper which tells the truth without fear of
consequences, which gets at the facts no mat
ter how much the process costs, which presents
the news all over the world without waste OF
words and in the most readable shape, which
is working with all its heart for the cause Of
honest government, and which therefore be-
leyes that the Republican party must 90, and
must go i'll this coming year Of our Lord, 1884.
If you know THE SUN, you like it already,
and YOU will read il with accustomed diligence
and profit during what is sure to be the most
interesting year in its history. If you do not
know THE sun, it is high time to get into the
sunshine.
