DIR. Landrum is acquainted with the
daily papers. Many of the edit ors of
slch papers have been true-martyrs
IN fact, Horace Greedy and Henry
W. Grady may be classed under that
head. But that day is over. Nine
tenths of the great metropolitan news
papers of the world are now owned by
monopolists. If an editor writes the
truth off comes his head. No man can
work on a great daily. now and tell the
truth about financial matters. He may
be a moralist, a retoTm9r. He may ad-
here strictly to the truth in publishing
local or other news; he may expose
crime, provided it is not committed by
some Of the class that owns the papers
But there he must stop.
The noblest specimen of the martyr
now before the public is the editor who
is eking out a miserable existence by
conducting a reform paper, be it ALI
ance, POpulist OF independent. A thou
sand picked denizens from the depths
of hades cannot concoct more schemes
to torture men than are heaped upon
the heads of the true reform editors in
this country. But they cannot be
driven from their position. They know
they are right. Part of the people
know it, and all will realize the supreme
Importance of this work before long.
Then these struggling editors will get
their reward. It may not be in shining
dollars, dazzling gems nor houses and
lands. But the people will say ''you
we're right, you told the truth, you
we're brave enough to laugh at insults,
at discouragements. You did your
duty and did it when others would
have fallen back to easier positions. y
Best of all will be plaudit from above,
"Well done, my good and faithful ser.

If all the good people in this country
would turn their backs upon the mouth
pieces of p~lutocracy and rally to the
support of true, but struggling re
form papers, the battle would be a short
one. Let every patriot do this, and
thousands of struggling editors will be
greatly encouraged, and the campaign
of education will not in any locality.

While 1t is gratifying TO note the
feeling OF patriotism that is manifested
among the Americans over the faint
prospects OF war with England, 1t is in
deed regretable fact that Cleveland s
message is one of the greatest possible
crimes against the business interests of
this country, which, in the opinions Of
the greatest financiers of the day has
already cost this country by reason Of
the falling off in securities, many mil
lions of dollars, and in the advent of
war, the cost of the late rebellion will
be insignificant in comparison. Presi-
dent Cieveland's appeal to the patriot
ism OF the people was chiefly for the
purpose OF uniting and rebuilding the
fallen political fortunes Of the Demo-
cratic party. Many OF the American
people did not see it in this light at
first, but the French press and the press
of Berlin freely state that Cleveland is
trying to make political capital by STIR
ring up the Americans patriotism and
binding the people to the condition of
the country that has been brought
about through the incompetency of the
Democratic party. The mere sugges-
ton of war with England has met with
protest of the civilized nations already
heard that will make record ia his
tory against us. In this connection it
is very gratifying to know that Senator
Sherman, of OHIO, thank you, the
greatest mind in the U. S. Senate to-
day, has advocated ''making haste
slowly" in regard to the questions in
troduced in the duck shooter's.message,

The condition of the roads in this
county is simply terrible. The mud
roads are almost impossible. The far
mers are seriously thinking OF stone
roads, but when they drive along the
road that is called the stone pike, and
observe the manner in which it has
been neglected and permitted to be-
come almost as poor highway as are
the mud roads, it causes them to lose
faith in the ability or willingness of
the public authorities to properly care
for stone road after it is constructed.
The fact is since the Maumee and West
ern Reserve stone road WAS turned
over Ia the Leuder mercies of the coun-
ties through which it passes, the Wood
county part of the road has been neg
lected shamefully, ard there is no rea-
son or excuse for the failure of the
proper authorities to do their duty in
this matter and rebuild the work
that has gone TO rum through their
negligence. The old Pike was once
considered one of finest roads in the
State, but at the present time is bu,
little better than mud road. 1t Is
foolish to talk of new roads when the
old ones are allowed TO go to ruin.
