into those articles Of every day
use, which we now import from dis

win for himself wealth, and Tor the

ing the claims Of different localities
to the proud distinctions Of immu-
nifty from frost, productiveness of

TIE TINES will enter upon the new year

quoted more heartily commended, and more
fiercely 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 TIMES 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
lie welfare. And, while maintaining its posi-
ton as the leading journal of Philadelphia. it
viii aim TO be continually in the advance in all
that can add value to a newspaper.
The value of newspaper is not in its size or
display, but IN the intelligence and care, the
cOnciseness and freshness with which it is
edited. THE TIMES spends lavishly 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 writer's at home and
abroad are employed to enrich its columns,
and to make IL a journal adapted both to the
busy man ana 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 iii the thriving centres
OF rural population. have made the Old weekly
metropolitan newspaper unsatisfying. Those
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 il, they are going, too. 1t
was not the fault Of the papers; it 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
quire 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-Twelye cents week. fifty cents a

TO CHAS- III ZONES

We clip the following personal
reference to one of the managers of
this paper from the editorial columns
Of yesterdays Times Union. The
language of this moroccan is so
coarse and the differences to be de
duced from it are of a color so in
sulting, that we feel that no apology
to the public is necessary for any
thing we may say in retort:
Zone of the editors of THE NEWS was
in the employment of the Times-Union
for few weeks. Except what he may
have learned in his capacity as an en-
ploye, exchanging gossip with the thirty
or forty other employees, he knows abso-
lutely nothing of the career, character,
habits, occupation, family, or social re-
lations north or SOUTH of the Times IN
ions editor The other editor of The
News does not know even so much as a
gossiping employee can pick up. 'Histo-
ry' of this type is apt to be even less
trustworthy than usual. Were an ordi-
nary person to attempt to erect history
on such slender basis, we should call it
impudence: in a journalist we call it
cheek"
1t is true that the senior editor of
THE News lately held, and filled to
the best of his ability, an editorial
position on the Times Union. The
employment was rendered him
and he accepted it, and when he re
signed it he had the assurances OF
the managers of the concern that
their good wishes attended his pres
ent undertaking. Gratitudefor this
kindness has held him aloof
from the controversy which has re
Gently been joined between this pa
per and that, and upon his associate
alone, has fallen the burden of refu-
ting the hurtful SANDERS which the
Times Union has sought to propa-
gate against the good name of the
people of Florida.
As to Mr., Jones' past we care
nothing. We do not wish to I'M
cover that. He may have sprung
from the loins of gentlemen, but
if SO he has long since forfeited his
birthright Selfish and narrow in
his views, inordinately conceited,
fecund with the dirt and slime of
the cutters and fluff with his acct
dental position as the editor of
provincial daily paper, it is sufficient
to know that we have inherited him
as an adventurer from his last abb
ding place and that we mourn him
as a misfortune.
Biblical history recites that at
seasons of great unworthiness the
ancients were afflicted with a pletho-
ia eff snakes, Lizards and lice, but
it has been left for some obscure
Georgia district to present us this
parasite, whose strain, precipitated
from these olden affections in regu-
lar succession, concentrates them all
into one.
As a member of the editorial pro
fession, this mans arrogance and
assumed superiority has deprived
him of the good viii of the entire
press of the state, that most potent
of influences, and as far as we can
judge, he stands singly and desolate
to-day pronounced traducer, swell
tering and vitrolizing in the heat of
his own ungodly passions.

TAXATION AND MR.. HIND.

Mr. Hind, and glad he has written
at greater length. One reason for
the existence Of this paper was the
peoples need OF medium through
which their wrongs and wishes could
be represented to the powers that
be. Mr.. Hind said the present sys-
tenn Of taxation was practical con
fscation to republicans; we cited
what we considered the facts in his
own case to disproye his statement.
If the gentleman thinks any facts
in the past OF the writer can shed
light on a question Of interest to the
people, he is welcome to the use Of
them. The elucidation Of these
matters is too important to allow
any but real rights and true deIicacy
to hinder an effort towards their So
luton.
While The News desires to in
jure the private feelings of no man,
it insists on being understood that
its object is the good of the people;
and to make plain the wrongs under
which we seem to suffer, no practical
end can be reached unless particular
instances are cited.
And the real point at issue be
tween US, is whether in assessing
taxes, discrimination is made against
republicans. Mr. Hind thinks
railroad has been better treated than
himself; but we have never denied
that injustice had been done, and
we think we have shown conclusive
Iy that under our present system in
justice is almost inseparable from
the practical operation Of a law
passed under the provisions of a
constitution framed and adopted by
republicans.
Mr. Hind knows that we can 90
back to the days of republican rule
and show at least set off to any
number of crimes charged against
the democracy, but we insist that if
the gentleman's purpose is simply to
recriminate and balance accounts we
have nothing more to say. The
gentleman knows chat democratic
officials are not necessarily the clients
Of this paper. We have done too
much in the interests of real reform,
to have this charge find Judgment
in the breasts of any, and Mr.. Hind
was good enough to express his APP
probation OF our efforts. It seems
to us that out of the mass Of discOn-
tent and complaint much good can
be evolved if fairness and desire for
the public interests can be made to
animate the leading minds OF both
parties. Will Mr. Hind use his eff
forts to bring about a constitutional
convention that the basis on which
his grievances rest may be removed?
/ Will he propose and advocate q sys-
tenn Of taxation which shall be
guiItless Of the defects which tend
to confscation Of his property?
We assure him that we do not say
this to evade any question at issue
between us. He has charged the
democratic party with partisan dis
elimination, and has fairly laid his
proofs before the public. We ask
him now, if he is really a friend Of
the 'poor and oppressed" to help
make practical reform possible. The

We sincerely hope that this matter will re-

executives, present and prospective, land ofthe

the nominees for the senate and house be

have heretofore remarked, it is a subject Of
great importance to the agriculturslists Of
Arkansas, and no person offering himself for
legislative position should be permitted to
"dodge" this question. The establishment Of
state agricultural bureau, or something
akin, it seems to us is an absolute necessity
without some such recognition and encourage
ment, this all-important interest must suffer

demand this, and rightful]y, too, and they

in upon us yesterday for the first time in sew

have been highly favored in their work, and
