TO YOUNG WRITERS.

Mr.. Luis Jackson, of the american
LsrGeItte, Chicago, q journalist Of ex-
perience as well as ability, gives some
excellent advice to young writer's for
the press. He says, among other
things:
Write for the press in a big, bold hand;
remember that the compositor puts the copy
at some distance, from him Do not try to
write beautifully. but write plainly; good,
rounded letter, with every letter distinct.
Never crowd your paper with writing.
Leave plenty of space between the lines so
that the editor can make corrections and
alterations
Leave about three inches of space on top
of the first sheet for the headlines OF the
article and for the editor to write his in
structions on to the priater in regard to the
type and manner OF setting. Write yossr
own headline; If the editor does not like ft
he viii change it Leave only one inch on
top OF all the other pages, and one inch at
the bottom.
Number your pages consecutiveIy. Put
the number In the right hand corner. and
not In the middle OF the page
Never write on both sides OF the taper IL
you do not wish your copy destroyed and
yourself condemned as an ignorannus into
the bargain

fails our Republican form of govern

stand by the Mckinley bill, and IN a

pronounced majority. l have no doubts
of success this fall All we need to do is

THE speech of Hon. Daniel J. Ryan
accepting the denomination for Secreta-
ry of State, which is found in another
column, is plain clear-cut exposition
of the issues which will be uppermost in
the campaign about to begin. Mr. Ry-
an is an efficient and excellent officer,
and has discharged the duties of his po-
sition to the satisfaction of both friend
and foeman, and with no other issue
than his personal popularity would be
reelected. But aside from this, the
facts he sets forth in regard to the en-
tire absence of anything which could
even be mistaken for ability in the
Democratic Legislature to run the bust
ness of the State will doom the party
against which such an array of figures
is directed. Daniel J. Ryan talks
straight to the point, and his speech is
very uninteresting reading for the Demo
Gratis, but nevertheless it is replete with
sound argument in which respect Dem
ocrats always were weak. Before the
end of the campaign more speeches of
Dan Ryan's will be heard in arraign-
ment of Democratic methods and, be-
ing in a position to know, when he
talks he is cognizant of what he is say
ing, and drives straight at the mark.

THE Gazette boasts that the members
of the Caucasian race are overwhelming
ly Democratic. Grant just for argument
that it is true, but it is not, and what kind
of class do you find where you have your
Democratic majorities in such place as
New York city, for example. The wards
which are solidly Democratic, are made
up of thugs, gamblers, saloon keepers and
the lowest dregs of humanity, many of
them too vile TO come in contact with
a decent human being. On the contrary
we point to the Western Reserve of
Ohio with its Republican majority,
where morality is the highest, and illit-
eracy is the least.

CONGRESSIONAL SITUATION.

The Democrats of this Congressional
District appear TO be tardy in opening
up the canvas for the nomination. This
slowness may be due to the fact that
the shillalah of party allegiance must in
all probability be used with striking
effect over the heads OF counties and
before harmony shall prevail
and one man have clear sailing. Mon
roe county presents her claims and
hints that, should they not be recog-
nized, something may drop on or about
one sweet day in November. This gen.
tie intimation causes aspirants from
other counties no little uneasiness and
perturbation of spirit From Monroe
county alone comes the Democratic ma
jority in this district and she is accus-
toned to hold back the pack mules with
the returns until it is known Just how
many votes are needed. This being the
case she can not be ignored but in the
eyes of other counties her presumption
is amazing. 1t was never once thought
by the statesmen" from this county
that the old moss back, time scared
Democracy of the Monroe hills would
want anything. Should Monroe county
receive the nomination it will be at the
expense of much feeling in the other
counties which will not be easily allayed.
Should she fail, and a threat rarely aids
in winning prize, then will she have
an opportunity to execute the threat. 1t
is plain to any outsider that Belmont,
and Noble counties do not
intend to let Monroe come in for a pull
at the pap and it is not easy to see how
trouble can be avoided. A squabble is
certain to ensue and the Republicans
will be the benefciaries. 1t then be-
hooves the Republicans to awake to the
situation and look for an available man,
one whose nomination will create no
discords and the boasted majority of
sixteen hundred will fade as darkness
before the sun.

THE marked increase in storms both in
numbers and violence during the present
summer has directed renewed attention
to forestry. While many causes may con-
tribute to the undesirable result of cyclon-
ic disturbances, some of which are doubt
less beyond human control, still the raw
ages made on the timber of the country
has undoubtedly aided as much or more
than any other one thing in conducting
to turbulence in atmospheric currents.
A broad expanse of country exposed to
the direct rays of the sun and protected
by no covering such as forests afford
will speedily become super-heated, and
damaging results follow.
Many States now observe Arbor day,
but the time has arrived when the plant
ing of trees should not be merely vol
untary matter but, having the stamp of
necessity, it should also have the agency
of requirement Forests preserve an
evenness of climate, which is especially
desirable, did no other salutary effects
arise. So much unoccupied space as
now exists, if planted in trees, would
present very pleasing aspect to the eye,
and provide a soothing retreat besides
aiding to render stable our changeable
and unsteady climate.
