column article. for saying mo matter

nold's writer and the philippe issued by
the Union furnishes striking contrast
between the candid and demsgogic in
politics. To the newspaper profession it
also reveals g new manner of editing
country correspondence. and suggests
that the Reynolds man should be pro-
noted to a higher position on the Unions
