CONDITIONS REVERSED.
Journalists Writing to the Pictures Of
Artists Nowadays.


The Tyranny of the PICTORIAL is a
theme that moves with well-grounded
Indignation writer of the June Lippen-
colts He is greatly annoyed by the
present craze for pictures that is con-
verting our literary magazines into pic
ture magazines, and he gives the follow
ing striking illustration of this degener-
ate tendency:
AT least one of the magazines pub
lished in New York is almost wholly
produced, as to it's text, by three or four
OF its office men, who work over pen
names now more or less familiar from
repetition on the title-page. and who
write around the pictures; that is, they
supply the reading matter for some
body's photographs. Very few of the
readers of this magazine are clever
enough to detect this little trick in mag
azine-making; they fancy that WHAT
ever is published in a magazine on cal
endered paper with an Illuminated cover
and with half-tones judiciously sprin-
killed. in to make the best showing. is nee
essanly high-class reading matter. And,
While we may deplore this cheap-John
literature masquerading in disguise of
the best and highest, we cannot but adj
mira the business intuition of those pub
ilSnefs VINO recognize the Sellng value
of mere pictures. OF course this subor-
dination Of what is literary to what is
pictorial is particularly hard on the man
dependent on his pen, now more numer-
GUS than ever before; but he is rapidly
learning TO take his medicine uncom-
plainingly, and he either has a camera
or is facile enough with pen or pencil to
produce rough sketch which some pro-
fessional sketch-artist can make over
into a genuine masterpiece and affix his
own name to with fitting artistic indis-
tinctness.

except it be when many causes conspire
TO excite and prolong disturbances.
About lth TO 18th Autumnal equinoc-
tial storms will begin. From 10th To
18th will be period in which many
dangerous storms and gales will visit
land and sea. Watch indications,
wherever you he, they show the ap-
proach Of storms to your locality The
22nd to 25th will also I've time in
which very marked disturbances are
apt TO occur. A change to very cool,
with frost Northward, will come after
the storms. Venus will effect all the

INDEPENDENTS MEET

The few Democrats (?) in Worcester,
who have been engaged for the past ten
wears in an effort to dethrone the leaders
of Democracy in the county, and place
themselves in command of the Dem
ocratic party, were on hand again last
Tuesday and after earnest work sue
ceeded in placing in the field fourth
ticket to be voted for at the coming
election, provided the promoters, Drs.
Quinn, Coston, Dirickson and Parker,
do not become ashamed of their little
babe and put it TO death Of their own
accord before that day. The ticket
named by these gentlemen, through the
assistance of all their followers, George
+. Scott, George w. Henry, Zadok p.
Henry, Lee Timmons, Harry Dale +.
G.. Polk and Clarence Barnes, and a
very few others. is the weakest yet
named, either the Democratic. Repub-
llcan or Prohibition ticket being far
more representative in every respect, is
composed of the following names for the
respective offices mentioned: DIR. John
I. Parker, Clerk; +. Hance Fooks,
Sheriff i. ID. Tingle, States Attor-
ney DIR. +. j. Dirickson, DIR. |. I.
Coston and Mr.. Lee Timmons, Legisla-
ture John f. Holstein, Cyrus w.
Jarvis and II. p. Merrill, Orphans
Court; James I. Hancock, Hillary
Hudson and Frank |. Chatham, County
Commissioners John III. Hancock,
Wreckmaster and james Disharoon,
Surveyor. With one or two exceptions
the ticket is not only the weakest in
the field this year. but the weakest
ever known in Worcester county. Since
the naming of it by the gentlemen,
whose names, heretofore given. are
familiar 10 every voter in the county
as Democrats, Republicans. Prohibi-
tionists, Populists, and everything else
except regulars. We have talked with
leading men of all political iaiths, and
we have yet TO find the first man who
does not pronounce the ticket weak
one. There is representative timber
III the anti-regular element of Worces-
ter county, but these gentlemen acted
wisely in refusing the use of their names
on the ticket, the sole purpose of which
is TO defeat the Democratic ticket of
this county and State. and place the
Republican party in. power 1t is
doubtful if part OF the gentlemen COM
posing the ticket will allow their names
to remain on it as evidenced by the
fact that provision was made for re
placing any who might withdraw. and
in consequence OF this fact we will not
enter into discussion OF the personel
of the ticket this week.
