The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1886-02-06

Please allow me few lines for gen.
eral reflection. The world is full of
news, and man that will not take a
newspaper can have no news, except
by tradition; hence he cannot know
whether George Washington is dead
or candidate for reelection. With
out a paper, how can one know the
wise proceedings of congress and the
true patriotism that animates their
bosoms, who are at times ready to die
for the love Of their country and the
good of the bondholder?
There is a prevailing excitement in
our community about mad logs.
These canine ornaments of the yard
and house should be muzzled, confined
or killed. The good of the commune

placed upon them to diminish their
number.
Medina is not dead, but sleepeth
She sits upon her seven hills like an,
Gent Rome, ready to come forth il

The day on Nhich it is dated. The Weekly
Union is in these respects equal to any Of the
agricultural papers, and the farmer and coun-
try readers will find that it gives more variety
Tnd better news than can any of the one

In view of the fact that The Union has
doubled its capacity for furnishing its readers
with news matter il finds it necessary to re-
turn to its original scale of prices.

determination on the part of the Wisconsin
prohibitionisLS TO swell their vote and prove
their strength at this falls election, is said ser-
ously 10 menace the success of Governor Jerry
Rusk in his run Tor reflection. 1t Is always I'M
fortunate when two great causes come into
hostile conflict. In the present contest in Wis
consin il is especially unlucky that the conflict
should have coInc this year. There never was
a time when the friends OF law and order had
greater need to show their readiness To stand
by u man who stands by them; and no field for
such display OF loyalty was ever better than
that offered just now in Wisconsin. The mob
element throughout the state will claim the
defeat OF EJlsk a victory for their class, and
will make the most of it in politics and else
where. The prohibitiOnists doubtless are sin
cere in their belief that their reform oyertOps
every thing else in Importance; but it would
seem that they should, good citizens first
and cold-water men afterward, take care that
their devotion to the temperance cause should
not imperil upright government in their state.
II the anarchists should be encouraged to such
an extent as to become a leading power politi-
caily, prohibition or any other reform would be
oil no value to anybody, for the only basis upon
which SUCH u reform can stand is q basis of law
well enforced.

Ne better assurance of Mr.. Hewitts willing
ness to exchange his seat in Congress for the
mayors chair in New York Is needed than his
speech at the free trade meeting last evening.
He assaulted Messrs. Morrison and Randall for
letting their personal jealousies interfere with
their public duty of revising the tariff, criti-
cised Speaker Carlisle for not taking the two
gentlemen and humping their heads together,
and found fault with the President for not
awaiting himself of all the power placed in his
hands 10 stir the democratic House into ac-
tivity. To be asonized by such neglect on the
part Of party leaders, Speaker and President,
naturally puts nervous organism like Mr..
Hswitts 10 q severe strain, and stimulates
desire for change of surroundings. Mean
while, the retirement OF Orlando b. Potter from
the contest in view OF Mr.. Hewitt's entry into
IL. aud the resolution of the executive commit
tee of the County democracy to endorse Tam
manys nomination, indicate that MessTs.
George and HewitI viii have the field largely To
themselves; the republican vote being Trimmed
by Mr. Hewitts personal strength, and the pro-
hibiiion vote not counting for much in the
grand total.

only be answered by practical demonstration.
Certain it is that Col. Cockerill is one of the
ablest and one of the hardest working news
paper men in New York city.
Col. Cockerill was born in Dayton, O., in
1916 He first identified himself with daily
Journalism as an editor of The Dayton Ledger
in 1865. Two years later he went on he staff
Of The Cincinnati Enquirer, of which paper
he was made managing editor in 1872. On
account of his excellent work he was sent as
war correspondent to the Russo-Turkish war,
and furnished that paper with their brilliant
specials on war topics. In 1873 he became
connected with The Baltimore Gazette, and
in 1879 he went to st. Louis as managing ed
itor of The Post-Dispatch. When Mr.. Pulit-
yer purchased The World in 1888 he selected
Col Cockerill as the best man in his judg-
ment to take editorial management.
Col. Cockerill is one Of those newspaper
men who live at their desks. He is down
every morning before IL O'Clock, and he
never leaves until be sees the paper ON the

the president from the Adirondacks at
