Every newspaper contains about 50O,-
900 distinct pieces Of metal, displaee.
ment OF any of which would cause 0
blunder or a typographical error. And
yet some people lay claim to remarkable
smartness if they can discover an error
in a newspaper. When some people
find word with a letter misplaced they
are sure they could spell that word
right, aud they go around to the neigh
bors and tell them that the editor Of the
paper spelled the word wrong.

Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1892-03-17

Plutocratic newspapers which dare
not argue with champions Of the COM
mon people confine their utterances to
the cowardly and contemplate plane of
ridicule. A case in point is the dispatch
recently sent out by the agents of cap
italism from Topeka, Kans., announcing
the finding Of diary belonging to
Farmers Alliance lecturer. In the dis
patch what was pulported to be verbat-
i'm extracts were given from the diary,
and the misspelling of several words in
common use was cited to show 1.-The alb
surd pretensions of men who assume to
to be educators Of the people. Follow
ing is one of the paragraphs which so
many papers whose mission 1T is to mis-
lead the people III the service of their
masters printed prominently in their
columns:

ger. p; candey, 5; Tobacco. 10: mOlase. 30; vest

Dead must be the man to all sense of
justice and humanity who cannot see in
this extract the rude eloQuence of honest
poverty What does it mean when one
whose hands are calloused by toll in pro-
ducing the things to sustain life records
such beggarly purchases of those neces-
sites for his own use! What does it
mean when those who are taxed to death
have not had the opportunities to learn
how to spell common words?
1t is adding insu, to injury when the
organs of the robber plutocrats attempt
to belittle men who record small pur-
chases i'll bad English. and the diary ex
whether actual or imaginary
may prove boomerang.

The West Randolph HERALD AND NEWS
began its twentieth volume last week. 1t
is journal of influence, covering it's ter
ritory thoroughly and espousing the peo-
ple's cause whenever their interest Is at
stake. Bro. Thayer has made money and
good reputation as a hustling manager
during his connection with the paper,
which now boasts OF a circulation of near
ly 1000 copies weekly.-Northfield News.
The West Randolph HERALD enters up
on its 10th volume with its current num-
ber. The HERALD is a first-class local

The Randolph HERALD AND s,pub-
lished at West Randolph, entered upon its
twentieth volume last week. Under the
proprietorship and management of Edi-
tor l.. p. Thayer its patronage has grown
from a couple of hundred subscribers to a
list OF 1000, probably standing fourth in
point OF circulation among the newspapers
OF the State. 1t is live newspaper, fully
worthy OF the success which it is scoring,
a credit alike to the enterprising town OF
West Randolph and the eastern portion
OF the State where it obtains its large cir
ulation.-Burlington Clipper.

COLUMBUS DAY.

Next Friday, Oct. 2lst, the people
Of this country win join with the pu-
pills Of the public schools in appropri-
ate exercises, celebrating the -Four
Hundredth Anniversary of the Discov-
cry OF America.
Ii is an event of more than usual
interest.
Never before has any day been OBJ
served so generally by the people of
this great nation as this day bids fair
to be.
Few even realize how many public
schools there are or how. many pupils
are enrolled in them.
They aggregate an army greater than
the combined forces of the North and
South during the late war and, when
we think of this great army all joining
at one time in the same program, we
may well say it is one of the grandest
events of history. 1t is not alone eel
ebration in honor of Columbus, who
happened to be the man who discovered
this continent but it is commemora-
ton Of all the great events that have
occurred since this land was discover
ed.
The indics tions are that the day will
be observed with appropriate exercises
in every town in this state. The gov
ernor has issued his proclamation,
which will be found in another column,
declaring the day legal holiday and
urging all citizens to join with the
schools in appropriately observing it.
The Legislature will adjourn from
Thursday till Monday that allits mem-
bers may do their part to make the eel
ebrations in their respective towns sue
cessful. 1t now only needs the united
efforts of the people to make it day
long 10 be remembered-a day from
which future events viii date and
to which all will look back with pleas
ant memories.
Let everyone do his part to make
the exercises in his town a complete
success.

Very well informed people have but little
conception OF the ten great railways, whose
network ofrails covers the United States
several OF them have a length of more than
ten thousand miles each. How these came
to exist in their present vast dimensions,
the territory which they cover, the causes
which have led to their development, and
their future possibilities and probabilities,
will form the subject OF series OF papers
which will appear in the Cosmopolitan
Magazine. The first of this series Is by
President Plant, the head of the extensive
Plant system of Railways and Steamers
and appears in the October issue OF the
Cosmopolitan, covering the system of
railways east of the Alleghanies and south
of the Potomac.
II il we're possible to shut all the strong
interest Of the month between the light
covers OF monthly magazine, the October
Cosmopolitan would do it. As usual the
illustrations are more numerous and va
ried in character than those OF the other r
leading magazine; the articles are as short
and as much to the point as is consistent
with literary finish; and one has the sense
ofa vigorous and newly-appreciative grasp
even OF subjects which in themselves are
familiar. Perhaps this quality OF vigor
and freshness is most conspicuously dis
played in the three articles contributed
by Henry Cabot Lodge, John A. Cockerill
and Murat Halstead, OF which the themes
are, respectively, Gas to Certain Accepted
Heroes, ,n"Phases OF Contemporary Jour
nalism,n and "Liberal Tendencies in Eu-
rope.n In these, we venture to say, the
reader will find new thought, in
phrase that cuts its way and insists on be-
ing quoted. But, afterlourthis strong in
dividuality is noted thga |, hout the cur

The leading paper reviews the art work
OF Munich; and other foreign subjects are
brought home, with the winning sugges-
tion that one may travel most comforta-
bly, in library chair, without luggage and
without foreign tongues, in the articles
which give intimate views OF society in
southern Spain and Persia. The intense
practical interest of home things will be
found in Nathaniel T. Taylor's article on
"An Old Southern School' and President
H. B. Plants article. Other contributors
are Thomas Wentworth Higginson, ID. B.

part of which attracted such wide interest
in the September number, is continued in
several attractive chapters.
Mr.. Howells will begin in the Novem-
Der Cosmopolitan, department under the
attractive title: IA Traveller from Altru-
ria.n Those who have seen the first two
papers think they will equal in interest

Breakfast Table Papers of DIR. Holmes. In
order to give the necessary time to this
work, MIR. Howells has turned over the
detail editorial work to Mr.. Walker.

In accordance with the joint resolution
OF the Senate and House OF Representa-
tives of the United States of America, the
President of the United States, by procla-
nation, has appointed Friday, Oct 2lst,
1892, the four hundredth anniversary OF
the discovery of America by Columbus, as
a general holiday for the people OF the
United States,
Now, therefore, I, Levi K. Fuller, Gov
ernor Of the State OF Vermont, do recon-
mend that Friday, the twenty first day of
October, in the year OF our Lord one thou
sand eight hundred and ninety-two, be
observed as Columbus Day by all the
schools of the State, and that the people,
so far as possible, join in such exercises as
may express honor to the name OF Column
bus, and appreciation of the blessings that
have come to us through his great discov-
cry, and thus enkindle the patriotic emo
tioDs of the rising generations.
II is fitting that we should remember in
the exercises of the day the kind Provi-
dence that has watched over the destinies
of the Nation.

New York had big celebration
last week just because, few hundred
years ago, some Genoese and Spanish
sailors happened to land on an island
off the coast of this continent and tho't
they had reached the East Indies.
Aud their leader, man named CO.
lumbus, whom everybody is expected
TO honor this year, didn't know for
many years that he had discovered a
new continent, and was the advance
guard of that civilization which has
since swept over and engulfed us.
What would Columbus have tho't, il
he could only have been in New York
last week or this week, for that mat
teri In his day the world was just
waking out OF the long, dark sleep Of
the Middle Ages. We have great
many things now that they didn't
have then. They had no nickel-in-a-
slot machines, no Pears soap, no ele-
waited railroads and no agricultural
fairs, no potatoes, no peanuts, no
cigars. We don't know what would
astonish Columbus most in New York
City, but we should be inclined to
think his astonishment would reach
climax when he came to investigate
Tammany Hall. Perhaps, after that,
he would be almost sorry he discover
ed America.
