What The Editor Gets.

When a CHILD is born into the
world the physician is the presen-
ted andgets about $40 for officia-
ting at the important event. The
editor heralds the advent Of the
stranger and gets a cursing for
making q 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 npon to
chronicle this event by drawing
on his imagination to make the
bride and groom the best and
most respectable people in the
country. His onlv 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 by death. Again the ply
sician is called in aad makes his
bill, the undertaken is present
and officiates OF the funeral, and
in time wants 800 for performing
the last sad rites, while the editor
is expected to complete the drama
by holding up the deceased as a
model gentleman, and one who
at present is flying up the golden
stairs. The probabili ties are at
the same time that the baby,
groom and the dead man have
been so Internally stingy that he
had stinted his wife and children
and had never contributed one
cent to the support of his local
paper.

"Bridge the Chas1n. .

-
The political barometer now
indicates fair weather. The
excitement attending the election
has died away; deep "bureied is
the bloody hatchet" beneath the
victors' spoils' and fromithe "pipe
of peace" floats the aroma of the
incense of perfect unity" The
delicate operation bridging the
chasm" depends solely upon the
county commissioners, who from
this day are at liberty to begin
the work, and a first-class suspen-
sion across that yawning crevice is
the expected of them. This finished,
every vestige of party feeling will
have disappeared; with Sym
pathy's best handkerchief (done
up with staroh), tears will be
stricken off gently from the
blinded eyes of the defeated
oficeseeker; others besides candi-
dates will heartily hake hands and
cheerfully lend fifteen cents and
more cheerfully borrow a dollar
thirty, and a Democratic Glove

to which no Third Partyite need
apply, will prevail, and business,

of men-for nearly two whole
years.
Let US rejoice at the prospect;
yea let us sit down tailor fashion
in the middle of the streets under
new umbrellas, and shed tears
of joy into bright red bandannas.
Let US give thanks that the day
has at last come when "A nact
