While we have no exact data on the
subject, it is probable that this estimate
Of the preponderance of the political
subject in the American newspaper
press is too small, averaging all the
papers all the days in the year except
Sundays. The bulky Sunday issues as
yet have the decency to drop politics
to some extent, In favor of seaside
gossip, base ball, pugilism and tepid
literature. Yet even in the news
columns of the Sunday newspaper
politics retains its lead over all other
subjects Of current interest, indicating
clearly the existence of a strong popu-
lar demand for news of political
character. Just why the rational
American should engross himself so
much in this one subject, which really
affect him very little in every day
business, one finds it hard to explain;
but upon the assumption that the
newspaper publishers of the United
States know enough to print what the
average American wants, it is clear
that he is thus interested.
Is this interest healthy one? I'm
less we are prepared to deny that CIV
ization is progressing, we must reply
that it is. 1t is making the average
citizen better informed and more indie
pendent. Much of this political read
ing matter undoubtedly consists of
theatric appeals to partisan prejudice;
but an increasing proportion of it is
made up of genuine advice and honest
chronicles Of facts. The part which
non-partisan exposures of political ras-
cality is playing in the news columns
today is q wholesome part. So, also,
is the part which honorable public
men are playing in their advocacy of
municipal improvements and reforms.
If it be true, as Is frequently asserted,
that "the independent voter is abroad
in the land"-meaning thereby the
voter who thinks and reasons-much
of the credit for that happy consum-
nation belongs directly to the large
quantity of political news and opinion
printed in the American newspapers
and which is, when carefully followed
from day to day, liberal education in
the practical duties and responsible.
ties of citizenship.

EXIT THE BOYCOTT,


The day Of the boycott is passed. I'll is
was the brightest aud keenest edged tool
the workingman carried in his kit, but il
was usedIoo often and foolishly. Had the
ban been placed only where 1t was neces.
sary, it would still be as powerful as 1t
was In days gone by. There Ia no use try.
ing to boycott anything now. The people
only laugh and think it is absurd. They
cobweb too often and have come to look
upon the establishment OF boycott as
baby's play.

the ONLY PROPER POLICY.


The SCRANTON TRIBUNE pursues the
principle of opening its advertising Col.
umns Ito all mea and all parties, with
equal justice to all and peculiar tavors to
none;" and then goes on to denominate It's
course as a common-sense, business policy.
aud continues thusly: There is no coed
reason why the candidate who otfors his
service to tho people and expects in re-
should not pay for the advertising space
he occupies in n paper as well as the mer-
chant who announces his wares and prices,
aud expects IN return profits from the goods
he sells" Iu passing 1t may be remarked
that the Report has pursued this policy
and has found 1t to work admirably.

We reafilrm our adherence and in

OF protection. We believe that all ar

admitted free Of duty and that on all i'm

wages abroad and wages at home.

conducted such an animated canvass
as have ex Senator Morgan b. Will

the other one, and of all his true

sault him resorted to crude form OF
retaliation. Yet the incident forclbly
illustrates the principle of the modern
strike. The strike, whether made by

less than retaliation and revenge. Its

plish great good, but to achieve vast
injury and harm. Letus suppose that

"Did yon ever hear how the
Marquis Mores winged two bad
men in Cheyenne2" said Jack
Frazier, of Council Bluffs. mo"
"Well, it is not much of a story,
but it's an illustration of a mans
nerve and quick thought. l was
in the cattle business in 1855, and
became acquainted with De Mores
in Denver in the month of May.
He was a very polite man, but
rather inclined to De offish, as We
say in the west. About a month
after that met him at Barlow's
ranch, about twenty tve miles
from Cheyenne. He was mounted
on a vicious bronco, and he ap-
peared to have q great deal Uf
trouble to keep his seat. A couple
of cowboys who had been loading
up on tanglofoot were whooping
and bowling in from of Barlow's
shanty when the marquis drove up.
Their ponies were tethered aud
they were running foot races, and
for no reason on earth were yelling
like Comanches in a war dane,
They began to guy the marquis on
his Workmanship. He made on
rsply, but kept on talking to me.
Finding he could not be provoked
that way, one cowboy, nicknamed
'Broadback Norris because OF his
unusually broad shoulders; began
to show the Frenchman how to
ride. His companion followed his
example, and in compile OF min
utes were circling around the mar
quis firing off their Winchesters
and using the most insulting
language: Whether the marquis
understood what they meant, l
don't know. At all events he
rolled a cigarette and lighted it.
Drop that, you tenderfoot,' roared
Morris, pulling up his mustang
with jerk; drop thar, or I'll clip
it out OF your month. At the
same moment he lifted his Win
chester. De Mures turned half
way in his aaddle, touk a deep
inspiration and blew ont a cloud
of smoke. As il cleared away the
cowboy took deliberate aim and
fired. The cigarette was sent flying
in fragments. Before l knew what
had happened scarcely, De Mores
had drawn his long-barreled French
revolver from his belt and pulled
the trigger. The Winchester
dropped out of Morris hands. He
had bePn- shot through both wrists.
The howl he let out could have
been heard quarter of a mile.
The other cowboy was then on
DE More's fax. As soon as he
saw him pull his gun he grabbed
his rife, but had Tot time to raise
it before the marquis fred a second
time, just as his broncho gave
lunge aud a buck. The bad man
tumbled off with a bullet in his
shoulder. 1t might have been
meant for the head, for all l
know" "Whst did De Mores
do then ?" "He rolled another
cigarette, lighted it, and continued
the conversation. Denver Sun.
