Country Editors.
H0ra- Working Citizens Who "Go
Forth Conqaerng and to
Conquer.

This heading is a brief descrip-
ton of one of the heaviest-taxed
specimens of the human race. The
writer has been there twenty-five
years of his most active life. There
are many of the duties, privileges
and pleasures of the position of
which any one could envy a "coun-
ny editor And yet it is a life of
servitude and ingratitude. A coun-
try editor has to read his papers
and write his editorials, at night
when he should lay aside the work
and troubles of life to enjoy the
society of his family, which he too
frequently has no time to get fairly
acquainted with. In the day he
sticks type, makes up forms, folds
papers, makes up the mails, runs
errands, collects bills, saws wood,
works in the garden, attends po-
litical caucuses heads and forwards
every enterprise for building up
his town, making public improve
ments, building churches, and es-
pecially by every device in his
power making geat politicians out
of the most unworthy specimens
of humanity. And then he is the
first neglected, and worst man
abused of any one in the COM
munity. He has to do gratuitous-
ly ten times as much work for the
public, for the party, for the
church, for all charitable objects,
as any person in his village. He
is the pack horse and the drudge
for every interest and enterprise.
The privileges Of the position
are the opportunities to go free,
or as a dead-head, to all shows,
theatres, benefits, ETC., after doing,
gratuitously, ten times as much
work and advertising for them as
would pay for the tickets. But
the real zest a Country editor
has, is raining fire and birthstone
down on the heads Of all POLITICAL
Or personal enemies, and all miser-
ly and niggardly souls who live off
society by the various devices
which rascality can invent, which
somewhat compensates for the
servitude and exactions required
of him. And country editors are
generally good men-perfected
probably through sufferings, and
they live to very old age, preserv-
ed, it is supposed, by the deter
mination to live until their last
enemy is made to bite the dust.
Country editors mostly like the
man on the white horse St. John
saw: "They go forth conquering
and to conquer. Des Moines

An Important Construction Of the
Lien Law.

A decision of some interest to
farmers and merchants was render
ed recently by the District Court.
The point decided is not new law
but may not be generally known.
A farmer employed a laborer on
the one-half share system. The
farmer furnished the land and team
and feed for the team. The labor
er furnished the labor and feed
himself, and each was to have one
half of the crop, or in other words
the laborer was to receive one-half
Of the crop in lieu of wages. The
laborer obtained supplies during
the year from the farmer and a
neighboring merchant. The latter
recorded his claim under the act
Of 1884. When the cotton was
ginned the merchant had it seized
and claimed a privilege on it for
supplies furnished. The farmer
interviewed and cl>::Haed the cotton
as owner. The court sustained the
claim of ownership, holding that
under his contract the crop belon-
ed to the owner of the soil and
that the laborer had only an
eventual interest in it; that as the
laborer owed the farmer for sup
plies and the farmer owed the la
borer one-half of the cotton as
wages, compensation went on be-
tween them as the debt accrued
and the crop grew; that the mer-
chant gained nothing by recording
his claim in this instance, since he
recorded it against a laborer who
owned no crop to be affected by it.
The court quoted from the case Of
Bres & O'Brien VS.. Cowan, Is A..
438, decided by the Supreme
Court of this State as follows
"The defendants employed GER
tain laborers and agreed to give
them in lieu of wages, one-third
the gross product of cotton. There
was plainly no partnership in this.
The plantation was the Cowans;
the cotton as it grew was theirs"
The case was afterwards affirmed
in % A. GAP. Thus it will be seen
that it is of great Importance to a
merchant to know before he makes
advances to a laborer the exact
nature of the contract under which
he is working whether as proprie-
tor of a crop to be affected by his
privilege, or as a mere hireling
with no crop of his own upon
which the privilege could be m
forced.

Randolph, Manchester Farmingdale and
Hallowell The work in Augusta will be
carried forward slowly as it is being done in
connection with adj Joining towns in kennebec
county. Three men are also laboring in
Waldo county.
One of the blessed features of the effort is
its unifying influence upon the different de-
nominations throughout the State In one of
the large farming towns visited there were
found no religious services in the neigh
boring towns that the inhabitants could
conveniently attend. Yet in small
village in an adjoining town there
were five churches where nearly all admitted
ONLY one was needed The work aims to
lead many men to think and talk less of creed
and more of the teachings of the New Tesla
meet. On this account the work is being
recognized as not only the most economi-
cal way of supplying the destitute with the
Scriptures. but as one of the best methods of
doing missionary work.
