In Defense of Rice city.
o TuR EDITOR or THE NEWS,

To THR EDITOR or The NEWS;
SIR-Certain statements OF the press In
connection with the Potter murder hav Q
represented Rice City as a destitute, igno-
rant community, "utterly callous to all
moral and religious feeling" and while
this may be true of6n occasional individ-
ual, as IL the case in every country commu-
nifty, IL seems an unjwtly sweeping state-
ment to make of a place whose famili IS
are with one exception, church-goers and
church members, aud whose names figure
prominently as heavy tax payers. Ons OF
our number holds responsible clerkship
in distant city, one is a teacher OF Ian
guages, and the first state temperance
lecturer was Rice City man. Most OF
the few who comprise our little
hamlet ere descendants OF old
names which il not illustrious are ut lesSt
remembered RS honorable and respected.
IL is not wholly pleasant to be character
ized as possessing fitting environment
for the perpctraii ion of so dastardly decd
"a shooting down ones wife in her sleep,
and we venture TO hope that this express
sion OF our feeling may be given publicity
in the columns Of your esteemed paper.

CRIMINALLY FAULTY.

The Portland Advertiser, which was
one Of the earliest and most persistent
advocates of the Australian ballot sys-
tenn in Maine, attempts to sneer down
the suggestion of Chairman MANLEY
that there can be any defects in a law
which meets with its approval. The
trouble is not with the law but
with the stupid and idiotic peo-
ple who fail to understand it,
is The Advertisers conclusion. Possibly,
but that is a humiliating confession to
make and it is libel on the intelligence
of the people of the Pine Tree State.
Five thousand of them failed to properly
mark their ballots. One out of every 20
voters made an error so fatal that his
vote was thrown out.
The Advertiser allows its prejudices
to run away with 1t, hence it attempts
to ridicule the class of men guilty of the
error in question.
""Men may come and men may go, but
the man who blows out the gas, the man
who goes to New York and gets bun
coed, and the man who marks his ballot
wrong is always with Us. Some very
funnily defective ballots were cast last
Monday" says The Advertiser.
"There were, in short, more varieties
of idiocy revealed by the count than is
pleasant to contemplate. Such men
either Go not read the papers and the
plain instructions posted at polling
places, or they do not read understand
ingly. Ii they cannot, or will not learn
to do such a simple thing as to prepare
their ballots correctly, it is probably
useless to try to teach them, and their
stupid lf-disfranchisement serves them
right. I"
IL the people of Southern State
should pass franchise law which dis
franchised 5000 voters, even though they
were ignorant and unlettered, The Ad-
vertiser would flap a bloody shirt big
enough to fit Chang, the Chinese giant.
But unfortunately for The Advertiser,
the class of people who were misled by
the faulty Maine law. were not the men
who blow out gas, run up against bunco
men in New York or fall prey to the
wiles of the gold brick swindler.

United States Senator and man thor
oughly alive, even at his advanced age
vyas n victim Ganaral NrAr novy
another honored Son of Maine, whose
name is known and loved whenever the
English language is spoken, was another.
Ex-Governor JOSEPH III. WILLIAMS of
Augusta, was still another.
These men stand head and shoulders
above the average American in
point of intelligence, refinement and
culture. They are men who regard the
ballot as a sacred right and the right of
franchise as something inestimably
precious, and they are all men whose
intellect is undimmed. whose interest in
State affairs is still vigorous and whom
The Advertiser Knows, admires and
respects.
ANY system which disfranchises such
men as these and thousands of others,
which disfranchises one voter out Of
every 2j, is faulty, pernicious and a
crime against an honest ballot, The Ad-
vertiser TO the contrary notwithstand

Is 1t any wonder, therefore, that the

uniting against the party which has
betrayed them and coming by the thou

Opinions of fZin-Zil-Za-Bud.

To THE EDITOR OF THE news:
SIR-Only one who has striven to bene-
fit mankind by the invention of q new
word for the English language which
shall be at once euphonious aud express
sive can appreciate the intense satisfac-
tion and relief Of the originators OF "Zin-
zil a-bud."
For years it has been the custom of
American people to exclaim, upon having
thought out. some intricate problem or
"Excelsior!" or "Eurekal i have found
it'll"
Now how much more harmonious to
any surrounding or condition to be con-
ceived is "Zin-zil-z "a bud" Make 1t as
explosive rs you please, there Is none Of
the harshness about 1t that Is embodied
in the second syllable of Eureka, nor is
decading defiectionsof Excelsior.
Hence, / claim that the inventors OF
Zinzilzabud (for so l shall hereafter write
itD has conferred q boon upon Us Ameri-
cans, and his effort should have obtained
recognition in the Century dictionary--as
believe it will In the next edition.
As an afterthought, let me point out
some international advantages. Where
will find q word which will better at into
q foreign mouth, or torgue2 Take any
language under the sun, not excepting
Volapuk, and Zin- zil- za- bud will flow as
gracefuliy ana easily from the tongue aS
water falls from q ducks back.
/ am satisfied, notwithstanding the
popular idea that Zinzilzabud Is an object,
that 1t Is nothing more nor less than a
creation of new word or idea to attract
first, attention to the fair; second, notice
to the magnifcence of Mr.. Goff's enter
prise (or vice versa), and third, notice to
the inventive genius of the originator as
an advertising manipulation.
And it has admirably succeeded.

To THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS;

To THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS;
SIR-The mystery which has enshroud-
ed the peculiar advertisement that has
appeared in the various daily papers for
some time past has at last been solved and
Zin- zil-zs- bud, or what Is now known to
be the fair and carnival of Washington
Park Lodge at Adelaide Park, is meeting
the success which the novelty and attrac-
tions of this form Of entertainment high
ly deserves.
Upon entering the grounds an enchant- :
ing and attractive scone meets the eye and
or county fair, with its many and various
attractions. Upon the right Is the grand
stand which is gaily decorated and fes-
tooned with bunting and the flags of
many nations, and suspended from
end to end across the front
are numerous incandcscent lamps
which in the evening shed forth
their soft and glowing rays that doubly
enhance the beauty OF the decorations.
Directly in front OF the grand stand a
large platform has been erected from
which Reeves American Band Cthe
only Reeves) discourses sweet
music and the old and young
trip the light fantastic toe to the ipspir-
ing strains of the Continental Band orches-
ira and here, too, q good and interestin e
variety entertainment is given which is
alone well worth the price OF admission.
Wandering about the grounds, inspecting
the different booths and other attractions
all of which are designed to enrice money
from the pockets of pleasure low
ing public, we come at last to
the habitation of Zin- zil- "a bud,
the veritable queen and ruler
OF this land of pleasure, and stopping here
to watch the tioc of humanity which is
passing to and fro, one cannot help but
note, by the happy smiling faces, that one
and all are enjoying to the fullest extent
the many pleasures which are here offered.
As the writer took his leave, the thought
impressed itself upon his mind that
Zin-zii- "a bud could be well and profit
