you've KILLED
YOUR PAPER. y
Green7ille Banner.

editorial writer is the man wht
is ever ready to tell you tina
"youvse killed your paper
whenever you happen to write
something that doesn't exactly
Iaccord with his views.
He is generally weil-rnean-
ing fellow, but he has q heap
to learn. He is perfectly sin
cere, Or at least, belie7es be is,
which is the same thing, and
he sounds these evidently be-
lated warnings in a friendliness.
He offers yon no suggestions
as to how to save yourself, but
with post mortem statement
goes the intimation that you
can, possibly, resurrect your
paper and live happily ever at
terward if you simply will not
do SO any more.
Our good friend, or, perhaps,
We might say friends, should
bear in mind that the newspa-
per which does not "kili' itself
a few times every week with
these people whose feet are full
of corns and therefore liable to
be stepped on, is already q
dead issue, and when they tell
you that such and such an edi-
torial struck the death blow, it
is a virtual admission that it
was up to that time a Give"
paper.
And our good friend, or
friends, should also know that
a real live paper can never be
killed" by one editorial. It'll
can not be killed" by two edi-
torials. 1t can not be killed
by any number Of editorials
unless OF course, they are so
outrageously opposed TO all
reason as to make them univer |
sally condemned-provided the
business Office keeps up its end
of the pole. 1t is not what you
write that makes OF mars a
newspaper; it is generally what
you do not write.
Be it known that no great
was ever made by a
newspaper which was actuated
by no higher motives than try
ing to please all the people all
the time.
1t is one of the impossible
things of this world and the
newspaper that pursues such a
policy is sure to have a rocky
and an early death.
It may please by lis fattrring,
for a time it may make friends
by its silence at other times,
but it will soon wear out with
The public and it's end is not
'ar of.
There : only one safe, sound
satisfactory policy for the sue
3essful conduct of any public
ournal, and tits the rule which
u3ures the greatest measure of
success ana usefulness IN life; !
t is the proverb most generally
;reii,ed 10 Davy Crockett and
which has held good in every
case where properly applied.

DIVORCES EXCITED.-Among the
many important cases decided at the
present sitting of the Oklahoma Terri
t>rial Supreme Court is the celebrated
Irwin divorce case from Saltwater,
Payne county, in which the court, JUS
tice DAILY, writing the opinion, reaffirm
ed its former opinion denying that pro-
bate justices had jurisdiction in divorce
cases after August, 1898, and declaring
all divorces so granted null and void,
and any subsequent marriage of the
parties bigamous. Ever since the orig
inal decision of the supreme court ex
element has prevailed among those
persons who secured probate court de-
crees. The majority of these persons
come from the east and they are max
ing haste to renew divorce proceedings
in the district court. But many prom
inent divorces, after receiving matri-
monial freedom from the probate
judges, failed to return, hence those
who married again are subject to arrest
at any time on the charge of bigamy.
The last Legislature passed bill legal
izing all probate court divorces, but
Congress failed to ratify the measure
and it is consequently invalid.

PRAISED BY THE PoPE.-Cardinal
Gibbons is still in Rome. He goes to
London to-day. In an interview yes
terday with representative of the
United Press the cardinal refused to
speak of Mgr. Satolli, the papal dele
gate to the United States, or to discuss
educational or other questions. He
said, however, that the Pope had ex-
pressed the warmest interest in the
American republic, as we'll as his ad-
miration of the material and intellec.
tual enterprise that characterized its
people. The Pope, he said, had par
ticularly commended the people of the
United States for their love of law and
order and the spirit of religion that was
manifested in many phases of public
life, especially the great respect shown
by the people for the Lords Day.

NORMAL SCHOOL.
+ Correspondence of Alexandria Gazette !

Correspondence of Alexandra Gazette.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, July 29.-The
corps of instructors appointed by the
State Board of Education for the
Charlottesville Normal is as follows
Prof Cnas. H. Winston, LII. D., OF
Richmond College, theory and practice
of teaching: Mrs. G. w. Rogers, Ian
guage and spelling; Mr.. Geo. F. Mer.
rill, principal Of Richmond High and
Normal School, arithmetic and reading;
Miss Annie Winston,of Richmond, his
tory and drawing; Prof. S. FL. Owens, of
Staunton, geography and physiology.
Much satisfaction is experienced by
those in attendance upon the normal
school with the work done here under
the above instructors, and they are glad
to be able to say that all of the Alexan-
dria teachers have been very attentive,
not missing one class during the whole
time from the date of entrance, and
they will doubtless return home better
teachers for their visit. The work
being done is thought to be the
most practical of any normal yet held
in this State. The Alexandria teach
ers who remained at home have missed
great opportunity. Every Tuesday
night lectures have been given by
some of the professors from the Uni
versity of Virginia on various subjects
of interest and instruction to the teach
ers.
The "Deestrick Skule," an interest
ing and amusing reminiscence of Auld
Lang Syne, the last of the normal en-
tertainments, was rendered at the Levy
Opera House last Friday night by the
pupils of the normal school, and was
enjoyed very much by all present.
The session of the normal will close
on Tuesday. July Both, with the giving
out of certificates to each member of
the school enrolled. and the city ard
county superintendent are to grant
teachers certificates without examina
tion.
