Philadelphia Press Is an excellent
newspaper Il Is always full Of news,
but that does not always redeem its no
fairness, nor excuse the Injustice Of It's
partisanship. It's often independent Of
the party whip. it is sometimes defiant
20 the party machine But these virtues
do not have the influence they should
have becaus the Press is not sufficiently
independent and just 70 be foreeful Ia
other words, It is so filed with the in
tense bigotry Of partlsanship that its
occasional independence has all the effect
Of joke For instance; the Press pub
llshed two letters Of the veracious "Hol-
land, " from New York, one on May Il.
the other on June 10, duplicating Mr.
Cleveland IA the Sugar Trust deal and
stating that Mr. Havemeyer had met
Mr. Cleveland on Mr. Benedict's yacht.
In his testimony before The investigating
committee the positive and detailed de
malls Of Mr. Havemeyer were not printed
In the Press although other parts Of his
testimony were printed. Mr. Have
meyer said he had never seen Mr. Cleve-
land and never exchanged a word with
Mr. Benedict. Il Is possible that this
part Of the testimony was omitted by
accident or that the Office cat carried It
of, but II is certain that II Is unfair and
unjust, in that the Press printed the
charges and failed TO print the denials.
This accident or omission puts the Press
in the position Of intending to have its
readers acquainted with one side only OF
the story-to put them in the position ia
say that charge has been made which
has never been denied.

AT joint political meeting In South
Carolina, Senator Batter called Governor
Tillman liar. Governor Tillman made
no response, Instead Of sdhering strictly
aud faithfully to the letter and to the
spirit of Democratic doctrine Senator
Butler yielded to the vagarles OF the
Silveriles and the Populists Of South
Carolina We believe that is the cause
Of his present predlcAment He should
have renowned Democracy and gone into
the Populist party, body and soul, or he
should have denounced it and re-
NAMED fast to Democracy. Senator
Butler has not done either. He has
hirted with both. He has weakened his
hold upon Democracy without strength
ening his hold Upon the Populists.

MISS GOODIES REGULATIONS.
Last Wednesday evening a charming in
formal entertainment was given In the
hotel parlor BY request, Miss Katd
Tucker Goode, OF Boydton, Va, recited
in fine style, and to the great delight
of her hearers Owen Merediths Aux
Italiens," and two OF her own poems
"Caleb's Daughter and THE Finding of

coming known to the literary world as
the modest possessor of unusually line
talents and exquisite taste. Her pro-
drctions are much sought after. and a

South's brightest stars in the field of
letters. Miss Currin. of oxford, y. C.,
an accomplished pianist, rendered some
choice selections during the recital.
CLEVER OFFICIALS.
Here, as elsewhere. certain persons con-

them that their names should be given.
Dr. f. c. Laird, the resident physician.
not only stands high IN his profession.
but his elegance of manners and kind

o,Ferraii and the Negro Editors.

To the EultOE Oh tnc DispdtSH.
Allow me to say a few words In CON-
mendation of Governor OFerralrs letter
declining to accept the invitation TO at
tend the negro editors convention. The
writer has heard a large number OF citi-
zens express their views with regard to
the sentiments contained in the Cover
nor's letter, and of his conduct I'm re-
fusing to attend the negro editors con-
vention. and he has not met with one
man who did not speak in terms of the
highest commentator OF both. They say
that his letter was a manly. vigorous.
and timely statement not only Of his
own views, but that they will meet with
a hearty response in the bosoms OF all
white men in the South who are opposed
to negro domination, negro impotence,
and negro ingratitude. The negro wo-
man-Ida Wells-who has maligned, Will
fed, and slandered the southern people
to the English people. Is now coming
South in company with Il committee or
Englishmen for the purpose OF prying into
our domestic affairs that they may pub
lish to the world tissue of premeditated,
cut-and-dried statements and falsehoods'
designed to damage the southern people In
their material, financial, social, ana poiti-
cal interests. Governor OFerrall knew
that this INSCRIPTIONS, designing female
with the fires OF hate burning fercely IN
her bosom, was strongly endorsed III
her crusade against the South by the
convention OF negro editors, and. like
the true. grand man he is, he promptly
refused to lower his proud crest and mis-
represent and degrade his people by APP
pearlng in person in such an assembling
Of negro ingrates and enemies. Governor
O'Ferrall has added another laurel 10
those he had already won, and VIII oc-
cupy a warmer place in the confidence
and esteem of the great body OF the white
people Of Virginia If not OF the whole
South. than he has heretofore done. Inc
truth Is, his popularity knows no BOUNDS
