THE 7ype-Eander.l
The Editorial EXchequer.

An editors lot is hard one Day after
dav he grindS away at the intellectual and
mechanical mills, and between the grinds
he has to grind away at delinquent subscrib-
ers in order to keep the mills running. As
class be has wonderful versatility in
accomplishing this last grind. Here he en-
treats, there threatens, elsewhere resorts to
the weapon of sarcasm. Following are given
8 few examples of this, to the financially
uninterested, delightful humor, clipped
from country newspapers hardly month
old:
A number of our subscribers can pay US
in produce if they SO desire. Anything we
can use will be taken and We will be glad to
get tive can't use promises. Also, We
would remind those parties who have prom
ised us coal that their promises will not
keep the stove warm. It's coal We need.
Don't be bashful or timd If you cannot
sell your produce to any one else, We will
try to use it. We will buy of the producer
inst as well as of the merchant, when he is
patronizing US. Come in and see US.
The shop wants g few hundred pounds OF
notatoes. A delinquent aubscrlber or two
can easily square up by bringing us IN some
of the aforesaid fruit Our books must be
closed bv January lst, and it must be cash
or its eo1iyalent. Do not forget that vege-
tables are legal tender, as well rs cord wood,
of which this paper sees but little, except
when If borrows few dollars and buys q
load; but don't forget the potatoes.
We wish to inform the readers OF the
Outlook and all persons who read our pa
per that we are not engaged in the news
paper business in this town away OH from
the railroad, in the midst OF the ~l!ds OF
the cour .ry, merely for our health. those
who owe as on account must come to the
scratch, or We will resort to severe measures
to bring them there.
The man who reads the paper,
And sponges as he goes,
Will never reach that happy land
Where milk and honey flows.
A man might as well attempt to Guench the
phosphorescent emanations from the tail
end Of lightning bug with squirt gun as
to try to run newspaper without money.
All delinquent subscribers are hereby
warned not to let their daughters wear this
paper for hustle, as there is considerable
due on it and they might take cold.
Logwood or ccrdwood is as good as cash
at the Gozette Office. Yet in less than q
menth We will have laid in our winters
supply. Cash payments will then be in Or
der.
When man is so stingy as to borrow q
newspaper when he is able to buy, he will
talk through his nose to save his teeth.
1t is easier to pay your subscription one
year at time than to settle after it has &C
cumulated.
Bring US in some wood on subscription.

The Lexington people have held
another indignation meeting about
the Governors respiting the negro
under sentence OF death for an out
rageous crime upon young Lexing-
ton woman, and have denounced Gov
ernor Richardson and Judge Wallace
as aiding and abetting lynch law.
These people are too hasty in this
thing. The Governor claims he has
good reasons for his course of action,
and will at the proper time lay it all
open to the Lexington people. Posi-
bly, they may be hight in their iodigna-
tion meeting, bus> It appears to US as
they are wholly wrong.

I York Eiataprise.l
The Alliance and Politics.

About two years ago the Alliance
FIRST made its appearance in York
county, and like almost every other
organization its aims and objects were
thoroughly and exhaustively scruti-
nized by our people-endolsed by
some, criticised by others.
It rapidly gained friends until now
the order hes extended, and its infu-
ence felt, in every nook and corner of
the county. Those who criticised and
called it political organization, in
angurated for the purpose of creating
political revolution, have been most
sadly disappointed.
Strictly adhering to its purpose as
set forth in its constitution, and steer
ing clear of the breakers upon which
other organizations have been wreck
ed, it has been 8 power for good to
our people.
It has not only enabled our farmers
to purchase their goods and supplies
sS a lower rate than heretofore, but
has created a system ofeconomy which
has challenged the admiration of all
classes. This is not all; it waged in
It's comparative infancy gallant war
against 3 powerful corporation backed
by millions of capital, and taught the
jute trust that money could avail
nothing against the united efforts and
actions of q sturdy citizenship.
It has made our people more inde-
pendent and taught them lessons Of
frugality and industry which will not
soon be forgotten. Counting in it's
ranks an intelligent membership, it's
usefulness has just now begun, and
greater things will in the future be
accomplished.
It is just such an organization as
would likely excite the criticism OF
the trained and professional politician,
and has hence received its snare in
every section.
We confess we have no apprehen-
sions. The men who constitute the
membership are men of tie right
stamp and character, and are num-
besed with the trre and faithful who
snatched our government from the
hands of political adventurers and
thieves in 1876, and who, since that
|dme, have contributed to the prosper
isy and welfare of the State.
They have not lost their place in
society and their right 10 be heard in
the councils of State. They now have
the same rights which they previously
held as individuals, and are inspired
with the same devotion to our county,
State, and nation. Membership in
the Alliance cannot and should not
deprive one from expressing an opin.
ion on any and every subject, and no
ore should hold up such an opinion
as being the opinion of the order.
They should be free from the fling,
sethe Alliance is drifting into politics, D
which is heard so often in different
sections of the State.
They, as individuals, have the same
rish:to express political opinion that
the merchant, lawyer, or any one else
has, and are not the subjects of criti-
cism for expressing the same.
The political campaign of the pres
ent year promises to be one of unus-
nal interest and every individual has
8 duty to perform in contributing his
share to place the government In safe
and proper hands. We feel sure that
we can also say of our people who
are not members, what we have no

a Wisconsin court has been trying
a case in which a clergyman is charged
with getting 1925 for an unsound
horse worth not 800. Doubtless this
clergyman is good and worthy man
in all other respects, but in swapping
horses it is mighty hard work not to
retain some traces of the old Adam.

here are the figures:
