mendacity Of Congressman Springer on the

generally read it, while his enemies in
variabIy read 1t. The politicians Of both
parties took the Argus. the Democratic
politicians took 1t because they were
pleased to see "Hiram" hang Republican
scalps at his war girdle, and cowardiy Re-
publicans took the Argus with the faint
hope that o subscriber might thus pur-
chase immunity from attack.
Then the vast crowd Of idle, light
minded people of both sexes, who enjoy
reading local scandal and personalities no

party organ of great local power and in-
nuence. A good many Of the young
Democracy in the state hated it while
they feared it, and there was formidable
revolt against Atkins political Dictator
Democracy. but it failed Of success.
The success of Atkins was due to his
native shrewdness and knowledge OF the
mean side of human nature, the side that
can be fiattered, cajoled, corrupted or
frightened into following the flag OF any

A DISAPPEARING TYPE OF JOUR.
NALISM.

Hiram Atkins, editor of the Montpelier,
Vt, argus and Patriot, and chairman of the
Vermont Democratic state committee,
died on the Cd inst, at the age of 65. The
deceased is worthy Of more than brief re-
mark only because he was good illustra-
ton of kind of political journalism once
very common In the East. but now begin
ming to disappear from a civilization to
which, what ever else it brought, it did not
bring either sweetness or light. Mr.. At
kins was a successful journalist; for he
built up large and aourishing Democratic
weekly newspaper in the heart of the most
hide-bound Republican state in the Union.
How did he do it7
In the first place he had keen appre-
henson of the fact that the vast majority
OF people in rural communities care
very little about principles. but care great
deal about men; so he made his newspaper
both socially and politically a paper of
personalities and gossip. He knew that
in a small community he that gives his
house or his door yard fence a new coat of
paint in the spring cares more to see his

battle or captured a city. So the local
correspondents of the Argus and Patriot re-
ported faithfully the most trivial events
that took place on the shores of Podunk
pond or at Hymn Book corner. All the
little inhabitants of these little worlds of
the Green Mountain state were delighted

Of their community printed in the Argus.
The man who had painted his fence " bite !;
the man who had added cubit to the
stature of his barn or woodshed: the man
who had killed q fat pig; the man whose
hen had laid a very large egg with a
double yotk: the boy who had caught a
large string of fish; the young woman
who had been s'surprised" by party or

wedding, or delivered lecture before

NOT THE OREGON WAY.

Our Democratic friends, aided and
abetted, as usual, by the Tacoma Ledger,
are still endeavoring to convince the peo-
pie of Washington that it was little short
Of treason for the senators of this state to
ask for an appropriation for the Lake
Washington canal, when the senators
from Oregon were securing hundreds Of
thousands for the improvement Of Coos
bay, Yaquina bay, Coquille river and other
waterways in Oregon which have not one
tenth the claim to federal assistance that
IL offered by Lake Washington.
Nobody has ever suggested that anything
was taken from the Columbia river appro-
priation because of the money appropriated
for other purposes in Oregon. Neither Mr..
Nelson Bennett, nor any other Democrat.
has blamed Senator Dolph and Senator
Mitchell for securing these appropriations
for their state. Tits only when it 10 pro-
posed to secure an appropriation for the
state of Washington that the Oregon ma
nipulators pull the string, and Mr..
Bennett and the Washington Demo-
Gratis give responsive jumps and
wiggles. You find no Democrats denounc-
ing the Oregon appropriations. They re-
serve oil Of their criticism for those who
make honest efforts to secure assistance
for their own state.
The Oregon man who would criticize the
Oregon senators for their action in these
matters would be deemed q lunatic or q
traitor to his state. 1t il reserved for
Washington malcontents to display the
ineffable meanness Of bowling against
legitimate appropriations to be expended
within their own state and for the benefit
of their own state.
