Boiling : Nswspaper Man.

Most persons think that newspaper
man has an easy time. This Is doubt
less because they see him strolling about
the streets, sitting In offices, at pionics,
balls, sports. theatre. church, on sxcur-
slons and everything of that kind. They
forget that while the newspaper man
appears TO be at leisure he is In reality
doing his best work. sfor his ears and
eyes are catching everything worthy of
note, and his brain Is putting 1t into
shape for transmission to paper. A
Western editor sums up his life In the
following manner:
IAN fellow has 10 do is to be able
TO write \ poem, discuss the tariff,
umpire a baseball game, report & we'd
ding, klns the bride, Chat Is nice). cav
vividly his readers will shed their
wraps, make dollar do the work Of
ten, shine at soiree, tell horse's age by
his collar, abuse the liquor habit, yet
indulge In Il, subscribe to charity and
trust to paying It by collecting from
delinquent subscribers, go hungry and
sneeze at suobbery, know when to
nqueezs a pretty girls hand. wear dla-
monds, make a pot of paste, omit
scandals. kiss kids, judge turnips, and
whether his:wlfes silk dresses hangs all
right, work = convention, sweep the
office, mould opinions. talk out In
prayer meetings, set type, chaw tobacco

At last, when the low price OF wheat
h shown TO be due to the largely in
creased production and the relations
between the appreciation OF gold" ard
the price OF potatoes is deserted as a
free silver argument. Mr.. Bryan's sup
porters fall back upon the price OF
land and make the broad statement
with perfect calmness that since %
the value Ia dollars of farm property
has gone down exactly as gold has
gone up. Free silver coinage stopped
In 10. and the value of farm property.

been practically given away by the
government In order to develop the
west A farmer could leave his rocky
hiliy farm in Vermont. and By a few
years residence become the owner Of
IG0 acres Of level land npon the plains
As a result the curious statement Is
made that New England Is no longer
the home of the Yankee farmers. They
have gone west. Some OF their farms
are desested entirely and others are
being worked by recently Imported
citizens. Freight rates on farm pro-
duce have gone down and railroads
constructed make It possible for the
western farmer to place his produce In
the eastern market, or at tide water. at
comparatively low price. Farming
methods in the west have been con-
Quoted on a much larger scale than
they were in the east. How In the
name OF common sense could eastern
farm property fail TO decline in val1e
under such state of things? Even the
Rochester Herald, which is doing its
best for Mr.. Bryan. admits that the
decrease in value of farms in western
New York has been due TO a consider
able extent to the competition of the
cheap lands OF the west. In making
this obvious and true statement, The
Herald has no doubt helped the cause
Of sound money more than it ex-
pected to.-Syracuse Post.
