What The Editor Gets.

When a child is born in the world the
physician IS present and gets about $40
for officiating at the important event.
The editor heralds the advent OF the
stranger and gets a cursing for making
mistake as to the sex and date Of arrival.
After a while the child becomes a
man, the minister is called to perform the
marriage ceremony and walks off with a
$40 bill in his pocket for his trouble. The
editor is again called upon to chronicle
this event by drawing on his imagination
to make the bride and groom the best
and most respectable people in the coln-
try. His only pay is to be asked for few
extra copies OF his paper to send to some
absent friends.
In time the once baby once happy
groom, but now man we'll advanced in
years, is brought down to death. Again
the physician is called and makes his bill
the undertaken is present and oflciates at
the funeral, and in time wants 500 for
performing the last sad rites while the
editor is expected to complete the drama
by holding up the deceased as model
gentleman, and one who at present
is flying up the golden stairs. The
probabilities are az the same time
that the baby. the groom and the dead
man have been so Internally stingy that
he had stinted bis wife, children and had
never contributed one cent to the support
of his local paper.
What does the editor get He gets left

REC-E-PROC-I-TY!
You Have Not Read This
Read it Now. 1t May Enable You
to Understand this Great
Question.

During the past few years the term
reciprocity has been seen so often in
American print and heard so often in
conversation in certain relation and in
such q connection that many persons
almost believe that the word and it's
meaning emanated from that great
American statesman, Jas. G. Blaine, and
from the application he made of IT, and
which has caused it to become household
word among the people of this great Re
public, numbers only know of it or
associate it with the great tariff question
that played 80 important q part in the
mighty election contest through which
we haye so recently passed. But the
word has far broader meaning, a wider,
more far-reaching and robler significance.
The highest meaning Of the word embraces
that pure, heavon. born principle of Holy
writ lnculcated in the teachings of the
Golden Rule "Do unto others as you would
have them do unto you." 1t teaches high
moral obligation to return equal rights or
benefits for those received, and this is
what We want to bring home to you,
dear reader of these lines. And when we
say this we mean YOU Don't think
how badly some other fellow is treating us,
and how thoroughly he ought to be
ashamed of himself, for, as the good
Nathan of old said Thou art the mann
When you subscribed for the HERALD it
was upon the basis of an honorable,
binding mutual agreement. For so much
money we were to furnish you with copy
of the paper each week for certain length
of time. We have faithfully and honestly
fulfilled our part of the agreement. We
have lived up to the Golden Rule with
you. Through summers heat and winters
cold We have labored, and each week the
paper brought to you the result of our
work, and to do this has caused us far
heayier outlay of cash each week than
you would imagine, for, dear reader, 1t is
an expensive business 20 run even a

point at which we can no longer do this
unless sOu msnfully come up to and COM

must indeed be case of Reciprocity be-
tween u.s. If you are farmer we want to
ask you how long you could continue to
furnish others with your grain, hay, bacon,
wood, &c, without return II you are a
merchant, mechanic or a professional
man the question is just as PERTINENT
We have surely reminded you often
enough of your Indebtedness to rs. We
have sent out statements 90 often that
in many cases the postage amounted to

Holman Wants to Investigated

WASHINGTON, June AT the request of
Representative Holman Secretary Foster
has suspended payment on more than
two-thirds of the awards made by the
committee which selected the lands for the
Rock Creek National park. The basis of
Holman's request was that the committee
on appropriations desired to make an in
quiry into the matter and manner of max
ing the awards. The report of the park
committee has been approved by the presi-
dent: and the District court has directed
that the money, of which something over
SS0O,OO0 yet remains to be paid, be deposit
ed in court by Secretary Foster, but, as
stated, at the request of Holman the pay
ment has been deferred. Now the park
committee has gone into court and asked
an order to compel Foster to pay the
money into count.
