WE would like to know why there is
so much hostility exhibited towards
Charleston by some sections OF the
State? AS the metropolis of the State.
we should all take pride in building
her up, but instead of doing so itseelns
to be the delight Of some sections to
null her down. Charleston is a grand
old city, full Of good people, and she
shall never need IN outside friend to
defend her as long as TIE TIMES AND
DEMOCRAT is under its present
management.

IN the State Convention slips were
distributed showing the relative gains
and losses to the several counties
under the Greenville idea. BY it we
noticed that Orangeburg County would
gain one delegate and from this fact,
no doubt, it was expected that cur
delegates would favor the political
rape, but we are glad they did not.
Orangaburg is jealous Of her dues, but
not to the extent of robbing other
counties. The present arrangement
suits us well enough.

THE NEWSPAPER PRESS.
Every Sensible Newspaper Must
Aim to Publish the Truth Only.


Galveston News.
No newspaper that deserves the
name will deliberately publish a
lie and no newspaper writer who
hopes to obtain "a position OF re-
spectabiity or stability in his pro.
fession will endeavor to impose on
an editor 10y giving utterance to a
lie. In fact, as the Sun intlmates;
the newspa per is really more inter-
ested than the reader in securing
the accuracy of all published state
ments. All the conditions and rea-
sous tor the existence of the news
paper, as such, forbid that it should
publish falsehOod deliberately.
One OF the chief duties of the
newspaper is hunting down aud
exposing falsehoods. And here it
might be observed that politicians
and Government functlonaries are
the chief stumbling blocks to the
newspaper in its efforts to obtain
correct information. In fact, 1t
might be SAID that those who live
off the people, whether legIti-
mately, are naturally disposed to
cultivate obscurantism, and will
seldom tail, when they have an OPP
portunity, to elude, befog, or lead
astray professional seekers, gather
ers, and purveyors of Information
for the public. In this regard the
good and bad and Indifferent poll
ticians are pretty much alike.
The newspaper is the oDly palpa-
BE and indubitable connecting
link-except the tax.collector-be-
tween the American citizen aud bis
Government; and as the real news
paper is supported by the people
! Instead of by the officials aud poll
tic1ans, the ordinary rules OF conl.
mon sense would indicate to the
newspaper the wisdom aud proprie-
Ity of giving correct Information.
| But it is not necessary to go Into
an elaborate argument to prove to
the people that between the news.
papers aud the politicians-speak-
| lug generally aud making due al
loWance for exceptious-the news.
papers are by all means the most
worthy OF trust and confidence.
Even politicians elevated to great
places on Suuday-school platform
have been some times known to
equivocate, if not to prevaricate,
and the whole tribe will tall times
bear close watching. The people
and the newspapers understand
each other, and no politician, how
ever elevated they may be, eau
succeed in engendering distrust be-
tween them.

THoUGHTLESS CRUELTY.-We
are constantly meeting with fresh
illustrations OF the truth of Sir
Arthur Helps saying that the
thoughtless cruelty of the world
outweighs ali the rest. Women,
"the most amiable part of creation,"
are not always the most thoughtful,
especially with regard to fashion
and dress. Rev. L. o. Morris,
whose name as o lover of birds is
known all over England, writes to
complain of the way in which birds
with beautiful plumage are being
DESTROYED in countless numbers,
for the sole purpose of decorating
LADIES' dresses. There can be no
beauty in such decoration; and we
are not surprised to hear that a
lady who had her ball dress covered
with canaries found no partners.
A taste of this kind is essentially
barbarous, aud it is to be hoped
that, whether or not ladies join tho
Plumage League advocated by
Lady Mount Temple, they will use
all their influence in opposing a
fashion as inartistic as it Is cruel
London Nesos.

CopFIsH FOR THE GULF OF Me.

GOLDFISH FOR THE GULF OF MEX
ICo.-A Washington special to the
New York zribaRe says: "Protes.
sor Baird, the Commissioner OF
Fisheries, is abOu1 to attempt the
accIimatizatiOn of the goldfish IN the
Gulf of Mexico. Since the COM
plete success of the experiments at
cod Matching at the Woods Hole
Station in Massachusetts he has
determined to try the experiment
of transporting the salt water spe-
cies of fish, and will begin with the
cod. One million of the young
fish Will arrive here this week, and
after remaining twelve hours Will
90 forward to Pensacola and be
placed in the Gulf waters. Prof.
Baird has great confidence in the
success of this experiment. Tue
success of the efforts of the Fish
Commission to increase the supply
of food fishes meets with marked
favor i'm Congress. Prof. Powell,
speaking of this matter recently,
said: "Every acre of the sea, lake
aud river is capable OF producing
more animal food than the acres OF
land and in the future hsh culture
is to be a more important industry
in this country than stock raising
That food which Is uoS in large
