BY reference TO the caption of this
column it will be observed that with
this issue the News HERALD passes un.
der another editorial management. It
Is hoped, however, that other evidences
of the fact will no, be wanting from
time to time in the 'arious departments
of the paper. For the present no al.
teration will be made in the mechanical
form and arrangement, and the criterion
will be the successful Accomplishment of
the general plan upon which it has been
heretofore run.
All the varied requirements of q county
newspaper will be kept in view, enforced
by such ability as may be at command.
It's politics will be Republican, its field
will be Highland county, its object to
be not merely readable but read. The
breezy salutatory which is customary on
such occasions will be dispensed with,
but let it go without saying that all the
usual pledges OF honesty, fidelity, indif-
ference to fear or iavor, and the exem.
plification OF every other excellence, are
mentally felt to be as binding as if they
had been formally avowed.
The fact OF being limited to the use OF
the future tense in any remarks that
might be made here upon the exper.
fences Of journalistic life, leaves little to
be said at this point beyond request
from the public OF temperate judg.
ment upon any merit or demerit which
time may discover in our conduct of this
paper.

A very fruitful topic for journalists
has been the admission within the cur
rent year of six new States. The event
is unparalleled as to numbers. It is
enough of itself to make Benjamin Har.
rjson's first term the mark of an epoch.
The admission of nearly every State
since 1921 has been party question.
The roll call OF the States in the order of
their admission is, to one familiar with
the incidents in the connection, a pano.
ramic record Of the struggle between the
political principles Of which the Repub.
lican and Democratic parties are now
the embodiment. But the creation of
these six great commonwealths and
their formal induction into the rights OF
self.government and participation in ma.
tional politics, is of interest not merely
on account Of its dramatic impressive.
ness and its suggestions of pride in our
present prospective greatness. The
event looks forward, but it also looks
backward. 1t is connected in the rela-
tion OF sequel to- great struggle be-
tween two historic principles and is the
token OF the triumph OF the better.

Mr.. Samuel H. Patton will succeed
himself for County Recorder. Every
thing points that way now, and even
Democrats do not dispute it. Sam is
known from Jobs Hole to Smoky Row,
and as he is as popular with the ladies

He has made model Recorder, and to

would be sin.

minds Of Democratic statesmen-that
was the menancine possibility Of the
very event which we are to-day celebrat.
ing. The great, empty Northwest pic
tured itself to the Democratic apprehen.
sion as a sort Of Hyperborean region
peopled with the most threatening por-
tents to that peculiar institution which
was then the protege Of the party. A
glance at the national map prior to 1s45
will demonstrate almost geometrically
the juetice Of the fear. That great ex-
pansion Of territory toward the north.
west had nothing to counterbalance it
in the southwest, and the Mexicsn and
Texan troubles with their subsequent
additions OF territory were but efforts to
restore the symmetry Of national outline
and supply the anticipated want. It
was an effort to place agigantic counter.
poise. How nearly it succeeded will be
determined by the weight which Ari.
zona, New Mexico and Utah shall be
able to oppose to the swinging momen.
tum Of the great Republican Northwest.
That these three States shall be able,
within the period Of reasonable forecast,
to maintain a population equal to that
Of the north is improbable. That the
great belt of territory recently admitted
to the full rank of statehood is and
shall become increasingly working fac.
tor in determining national questions,
and that it must be Republican from al.
most physical necessity, is the fact
which supplied the animus Of Democra.
tic policy for seven decades. The end
which the Democracy Of former gener.
alton dreaded as the signal OF its doom,
has been accomplished. If its evil fore.
boding is not fulfilled the fault must lie
at the door OF the Republicans of this
generation.

intentional way by the last census. The
sensitiveness of woman on the question
OF her age has been source Of humor
since woman began to be. The silence
OF the Writ as to the ages of the ma.
irons Of early times, while those OF the
patriarchs are given with much pride
and particularly, may be attributed to
Mosaic gallantry, or perhaps the antede-
luvian census taker, whose duties must
have been otherwise light, found some
difficulty in collecting data on that side
of the domestic hearth. Modern laws
for the numbering Of the people have
been more exacting and thus unwitting-
ly laid the train for the broadest joke
ever perpetrated upon the sex. How
came it that nearly four million women
gave in their ages as 20, 80 and 40, while
only 100000 allowed themselves to be
put on record as being 30, 40 and so?
The answer is found in that instructive
shudder which every one feels as he
steps across the dead line which sepa-
rates one decade from another. To be
twenty-nine is not so bad, but to be
thirty. Who blames the millions OF
fair danes who drew back step as they
found themselves on the threshold OF
the thirties or forties? Once fairly across
the line and the worst is over, for the
thirty.ones, forty.ones and fifty. ones
answered the roll call in a full quota and
with apparent truthfulness, though we
imagine with million.fold sigh Of res.
ignation and regret. Each OF the others
innocently thought that she was alone
in this mental eservation--,hat among
so many it would never be found out.
Each yielded to what seemed personal
impulse, yet was acting under law Of
the human mind that proved to be all
but universal. If any moral turpitude
attaches to this kind of falsifying, it
would be hard to place the responsible.

1t seems to have been the thought of
all men, in the early history of the ma.
ton, that the differences of habit, TEN.
permanent and social organization which
obtained on opposite sides OF Mason and
Dixon's line would be continued across
the continent with the westward pro.
lection of that line. That expectation
has been, in measure, verified by time,
80 that even in the far West there is
traceable difference between the north.
ern and southern parts corresponding to
that in the East. This was a natural ~.
suit of the fact that in this country en-
igration bas always been toward the
West and people have carried their in.
stitutions and social and business ideas
with them. The westward" tendency
OF "empire" has long been proverbial.
In this connection the thought occurs
that this trite proposition is capable OF
further analysis. Let it be stated thus:
Peaceful migrations have been along
parallels of latitude warlike movements
have been along the meridians. This
tentative maxim is submitted to philo.
bophical students OF history and discu,.

When the seven wise men of Podunk
set themselves to find out the cause of
the accumulation of so much sand al
the mouth Of the creek, they reported
that it must be caused by the church
s'-' pie which began to he builded about
the time OF the formation of the sand
bar. Such casuistry was worthy OF such
heads, but the application of similar
reasoning to the serious economic prob.
lens which now confront the American
farmers will not mislead the plain, honest
men who are most interested in the re.
suit. The attempt to attribute the de.
pressed condition OF agriculture to the
Protective System is about as logical as
the sand bank philosophy OF the seven
sages, and is quite worthy of the source
from which It emsnates. The designing
prominence which is given to the
Farmers Alliance in certain Democratic
papers reminds one Of the sudden zeal
in the temperance cause which the
Democracy developed when IL saw In
the Prohibition party an opportunity to
foment diseord in the Republican ranks.
The non. partisan form which the farm.
ers' movement has taken, however, is an
illustration of the traditional good sense
of that body Of citizens and affords no
hope OF advantage to the Democratic
party. They that are sick need ply.
sician, therefore the farmers have not
sought relief at the hands Of the Demo.
Gratis, but are pursuing the moderate
course most likely to achieve their de.
sired end without sacrificing or aban.
doning any other principle.
The issue raised by the increasing in.
cumbrance of farm lands is a new one.
1t has never been forced upon the atten.
tion Of legislators as every question must
be forced before it can receive recogni.
ton and redress. The sudden crystalli-
zation of this widespread feeling into
organized form puts it in such shape
that the statesman can and must take
hold of it. A thorough investigation
and free discussion of the causes which
have operated to bring about this depre.
Gated state OF affairs will be the result.
The causes may or may not be artificial.
They are certainly remediable. What.
ever shall be found to conduce to this
svil will be sacrificed, and even the
Protective System ought not tn stand If
I should ever become thinkable that its
operation is incompatible with the
prosperity OF the farming interest whose
Welfare it is its ultimate object to pro.
note.

A Lilliputian Railroad.

A wonderful railroad is the one which
connects the towns of Bedford and
Bellevue, Mass, says the Albany Ar-
gas. 1t is nine miles in length, and is
probably as unique as any on the globe.
The distance is not SO astonishing, ex-
cept when the gauge of ten inches is
considered.
In the short distance traversed by
the pigmy it crosses eleven streams,
with bridges from five to thirty feet in
height. The rails weigh but twenty
pounds to the yard, about the size OF
those used in the mines of Missouri
and Illinois. The cars and engines are
constructed SO as to be very near the
ground, insuring greater safety. The
cars are provided with single seats on
each side of the aisle.
The car itself weighs but four tons,
the weight of an ordinary car being
twenty to twenty-six tons. The en-
CINE, without the tender, weighs seven
tons, and runs with two passenger or
freight cars at the rate of twenty miles
an hour. There is smaller railroad
than this in the United States-the one
in Bucks County Pennsylvania-but it
is only kept as an expensive toy by a
rich farmer who has made fortune
out Of oil.

built fierce fire and kept it up for
tWenty-four hours. Then he dug out
his vessel, and, standing off with a
long pole, he disengaged the top and
let the fumes escape. He insisted that
had they struck his face it would have
killed him. The mass left in the
vessel was dark brown paste.
To test the efficacy of his concoction,
the Indian with his hunting knife made
a cut in his bare leg, just below the
knee, and let the blood run down to
his ankle. Then taking a stick, he
dipped it into the poison and touched
the descending blood at the ankle. It
Immediately began to sizzle, as if it
were cooking the blood, and the poison
followed the blood right up the leg,
sizzling its way, until the Indian
scraped the blood off with the knife.
He assured our informant that had he
allowed it to reach the mouth of the
wound he would have been a dead
misunderstanding Herald.
