OUR KALEIDOSCOPE.
Editor Phipps.


 Theophilus Cheney Phipps was a country editor he was also an autocrat. Right here pause to re- mark parenthetically that there are a great many country editors who anything but the insignif- cant, half-starved, impecunious wretches they are generally represented being. In point of fact the average country editor is always man of some importance in his community. He generally has & pretty comfortable little business and Is jolly in- dependent sort of fellow. True he has his ups and downs, do men in all other callings but take it all Tn all there is great deal of sympathy wasted on him.
 Theophilus Cheney Phipps a fair sample of the happy, contented prosperous, diplomatic auto- cratic and independent country editor. He was sole editor and proprietor of the Brasstown Botctr prosperous Republican weekly, having two thou sand paid subscribers at two dollars per annum Then the county "pap" amounted to, say, five thou sand dollars yearly, which together with advertise ing and the profits of job office, sweIed the total receipts from the business to twelve or fifteen thousand dollars year.
 Theophilus Cheney Phipps was, too, very shrewd politician, and his influence was felt throughout the state, while in his own county and congressional district he had much to do with making and unmaking candidates and putting them into or keeping them out of office any other one man.

WILL REGRET IT.

The ex-postmAster at Ash Flat, Ky, thus writes to President Harrison "You think yoL have done a big piece of work in snAtching this post office away from me, but want to tell you that you'll regret It. haven't been much of a Democrat in the past l was hankerer after a quiet life and on more than one occasion let a Republican con- stable be elected when one speech from me would have turned the election But let me tell you right here, am going to whoop 1t up after this for while am able to stir about there shain't be an- other Republican elected in this neighborhood Oh, you'll regret 1t. Day before yesterday I met old Darb Green. He voted for you. What did I do when met him9 Did I, as I had been in the habit of doing, say wy, how are you, Uncle Darb?' No, sir. hauled of, knocked him down, widowed him in the road, tore his shirt and wiped my feet on him. See what you have done? Causing a friend to get hurt is just bad If you had hurt him yourself Suppose had met old Darb just before receiving the notice that snatched me from an office that had learned to love Wait a moment and, letting my fancy play with this supposition, will draw you little picture.
 "'Why, good morning, Uncle Darb"
 "'Helloa, friend Bob, how are you getting aong2"
 "'First rate, Uncle DArb and I am delighted to sec that you are in excellent health. How are Aunt Nancy and the chidren?'
 "'All well. Lige and Sally coming over to your house next Sunday and eat dinner with you'
 "'GOOd suppose you and Aunt Nancy come with them2'
 "'Well, if we can get off,
 "'By the way, Uncle Darb l killed & sheep this morning and have sent hind quarter over to your house.
 "'I am thousand times obliged to you, Bob. You are always doing something of that sort Nancy was saying last night that you are the best neighbor we ever had
 Now, Mir. President, look at this picture, glow ing with friendship, and then look st the picture of an old man wallowing in the road, covered with dust and suffering great pain. Oh, you'll regret having bounced me- You have ruined your party in this community you have made 8 rip roaring Democrat out of man who was disposed to look with the gentlest lenity upon your shortcom- ings"

The Arkansaw traveler., 1889-08-17

w nave It rom reliable source that Hon. Bilton Gawgus intends to make the race for state senator MT. Gawgus is a reliable Republican and an old wheel horse in the party and would doubtless, as he is also able attorney, make a good senator, but the Botcer does not favor his candidacy at this time"
 Here the editor paused and threw down his pen. This Is pretty ticklish matter" he said to him. self, he picked up the sheet and read 1t fully. "Pve got to have something out of this my self, and hardly know just how to work it."
 At this juncture there came knock at the sanc- tum door and in response to the editors invitation to come in, Hon. Bilton Gawgus entered the room.
 "Phipps," he said as he took seat at the table, "Pve been told you're not for me in this fight am making"
 "Wel" replied Phipps should you get the nomination the BloCer will, Of course support you"
 "If get the nomination." interrupted Gawgus, "I don't a continental for your support. The district is twelve hundred Republican and you know it. What want is the nomination. You get it for me you can beat me, just as you see ft."
 Do you want this office pretty badly?" queried Phipps, as he leaned back in his char.
 "Yes," replied the candidate, "I do." Here he drew roll of bills from his pocket and laid them on the editors table.
 A moment later he took his departure. As the door closed on his retreating form Theophius Cheney Phipps took up the roll of bills, counted them carefully and then tucked them snugly away in his vest pocket. Then he turned to his desk and tore up the editorial. Taking up his pen, he again began to write:
 lQarna vii nl hat he Bilton Gawgus has consented to make the race for state senator. He will undoubtedly receive the nomination, and will, of course be elected. Mir deserving the confidence and support of his party"
 Here there was another knock at the sanctum door and in walked Captain J. G. Blood
 After the two men had chatted for few min- utes, Captain Blood made known the object of his visit by saying: "Phipps, Pve about made up my mind to make the race for state senator. I don't know how you stand the matter, so l thought I'd come and you."
 "Yes2" said Phipps, with slightly rising inhec- tion.
 "Yes," said the captain. Now" he continued, I know there going to be several candidates who have as good claims upon you as I have. don't want you to work for me for nothing 80 here's my check for three hundred. You understand, this isn't bribe money but you can do me service and want to pay for it. hope can count on your support"
 After little further talk the captain retired Then MT. Theophilus Cheney Phipps turned to his desk and wrote editorial which did appear in the next issue of the BLOCer. It was follows:
 "The BlOsOer is in somewhat of 8 quandary. Two of our distinguished fellow townsmen will be ddates for state senator before the coming senato- rial convention As Hon. Bilton Gawgus and Cap tain Blood are both good men and both good Republicans the Blo,rer feels that in common jus tice it do no less than keep hands o' It does not believe in party factions and is therefore in
