An Expression Of Confidence.

Geo. P. Rowell & Co., the publish
ers of the American Newspaper
Directory, undertake to rate news
paper calculations very much as the
mercantile agencies give the capital
and credit ratings of the business
community. About one publisher in
ten is willing to have his exact issu e
known, and tells it with truthful
precision but some of the other nine
decline to tell the facts concerning
their own issues because they assert
that those who do tell, do not tell
truly. Messrs. Rowell & Co., after
an experience of twenty years, have
come to the conclusion that the facts
will not sustain this view: and in the
twentieth annual issue of their book,
now in the binders hands, they
plainly designate every paper which
is rated in exact accordance with a
uetalled statement from the. publish
er; and offer to pay a reward of one
hundred dollars for each and every
instance of a misstatement for which
a publisher is responsible. f. The
SOUTHERN STANDARD is one of the
papers which is willing to have it
known how many it prints and
whose good faith the Directory
publishers express willingness to
guarantee to the extent of one hum
dred dollars. ,.aea L,,,.

WASHINGTON,
Death Of the Chief Justice salisbury
.r.. on the Tariff. ns,s, 4.

.
The sudden and unexpected death |
of Chief Justice Waite, of the United |
States Supreme Court, on Friday
morning, at his residence in this city,
was like thunderbolt from cloud
less sky. Everybody was shocked.
Few people knew that he was sick,
he having en- Monday presided over
the session of Court which made
some important decisions, including
the one in favor of the Bell Tele-
phone company. Justice Waite was
very popular in this city. He was
loved and revered by every one with
whom he came in contact and his
loss will be deeply felt by a large cir
Gle of friends. r2 t,ua lJ|
The political Importance Of this
death can hardly be over estimated.
Ifthe proper appointment shall be
made to the vacancy, it will have
great effect towards bringing the
Court back to the construction of the
Constitution for which it was noted
previous to the late war. This APP
pointment, owing to the even man
ner in which the opinions OF the
eight Justices are now balanced,
places more power as we'll as larger
responsibility on Mr.. Cleveland, than
has probably ever before fallen on
President. ishia ,nn.a u-Iaa9
Still the country need have no
fears. He will appoint the right
man. Among democrats here it is
pretty generally believed that the
appointment will 60 eitherto Speak

greater taxation would be imposed
on the people than was necessary to
meet the just demands of the Gov

CLEAR The WAY.n

The city lies IN hushed repose,
The wintry night wind freshly blows,
AS if to rock the cradle host
In Slunber's sweet oblivion lost.
But bark! a sound and 10 = sight
That wakes the town in dead of night
A shrek and glare,
A cry of despair,
At the flames in their ire,
For the one word Is ''F1reF"
The people rush out,
And, with hurry and shout,
Press on to the light
AS il brightenS the night,
And spreads like banner unfurled up high,
A sign and terror against the dark sky!
But bark to the clatter, than music sweet s.
Of the rolling wheels and the horses feetl
'Out of the way-out Of the way!
They come to save-now clear the way!"
A sea of faces upward turned,
One fear by every heart inurned; q
BY rudy light is clearly read -
On every brow the anxious dread.
A mother mid the bright light stands,
Her neck tight clasped by baby hands,
And through roar and hiss, -
Not quite they miss AsS...
Her piteous frenzied cry; Sg{S,
But mounting quick on high
a hero springs, 1sX3se
His helm star
OF hope, that filings
halo far
Mid the lurid light;
For moment lost then dinlly seen
AS it CLEANS on the sight,
The curling wreaths Of smoke between!
Up the ladder One rushed, but Three come
down.
And the shining helm is q hcros crown
Yet heeds not he what people say,
He only bids them clear the wayN
