EDITORIAL.
The editor and pro prietor Of the
STATE HERALD desires to return his
thanks to the business men and citi-
xens generally Of TIolyoko for the very
liberal manner In which they have
patronized the HERALD since 1t came
under his control. The duties Of II
journalist are artluous and, Mt times
vexatlous, hut where enc sees his lab0rs
nre appreciated by the people among
whom his lot Ia cast, the ronghness Of
the profession Is removed and sun
shine lights his pathway to duty. And
while make use OF the columns of
the STATE HERALD to thus publicly
thank its patrons for their liberal
patronage bestowed, let me 60 little
further md say, now and for all time
to come, while stand ut the helm Of
the HERALD, that no ring or clique
or individual shall dictate to its editor
the course it is to pursue. The
HERALD shall, in politics, support the
nominees of the Republican party and
in my labors for the building up of
IIolyoke and Phillips County, 1t shall
be my aim and ambition to so conduct
the columns Of this paper as to secure
"the greatest good to the greatest
number" Again, kind friends, thank
you.
W. r. DAVIS.

When 1t comes to q census every
democratic statesman will demand
that every colorcd citizen be counted.
1t is only when he votes that they
refuse to count.

The republicans of Colorado are
not uneasy about Senator Teller
They are not concerned over the clat-
ter which n few noisy democrats and
mugwumps are making. The repub-
lican's are all right for Senator Teller's
reelection. The democrats were never
very good friends Of Senator Teller or
Of the republican party either.

In view Of the late PRONUNCIATION
Of the democratic members Of the
! o lac Of representatives, Of the United
States, TO create public sympathy or
to explain why they acted so, on the
quorum question should rccollect the
parental advicc.-"My son d,n't ad-
vcrtise your gricfs, il you have
crooked legs don't wear striped
pantalo0ns.
1t Is amazing how much pleasure
our democratic friends take In de-
claring to the country that Speaker
Reed has brought his party to the
edge Of n volcano. "Thc phrase is
round and sonorous, but II Is full of
sound and fury, slgnifying nothing.
The democratic party should stop
making n fool OF itself. At present
II mistakes Its own hot mouth for n
volcano.
