Some thing About the Bright Men
Who Occupy It.
The Warrington Correspondents Of Great
Newspapers Must DO Thorough Con-
.lomen or They Cannot Hold
Their Positions.
Special WASHINGTON Letter.

Special Washington Letter
The successful newspaper corre-
spondcnt at the national capital must
be a gentleman. He must mingle with
men who represent tens of thousands
of citizens; and with senator's who are
selected by the legislatures of sovereign
states. These men are regarded as
the best men in their several districts
and states; for the people have elected
them and set upon them the seal of their
approval. They are gentlemen, cul-
tured, refined, and scholarly. OF course
there are exceptions, but the rule pre-
walls. The newspaper correspondents
who meet with them daily must be gen
tlemen, and they must not be inferior
to them If they would command success.
There was time when statesmen
could say, and did say, concerning any
publication which did not please them,
that "it is a newspaper lie." They were
so much bigger and greater than the
correspondents that they could assume
lordly airs and with wave of the hand
dispose Of a correspondent who dared
to criticise them. A new era was be-
gun Is years ago when Don Piatt was
the brilliant editor of the Sunday Cap
ital here. He managed his paper upon
the assumption that stateman Is a
public servant, amenable to criticism,
and subject to limitations of power.
Of course he met with violent oppose
tion in the pursuance of that policy;
but he owned his paper and was very
independent man. He made enemies.
All men of that stamp must excite ami
mosities. He became bitter. He de-
generated into an iconoclast of the most
virulent type. He acquired popularity
only with his intimate associates;

Didn't Worry Him.

An old man and his wife were last
summer sailing on steamship between
Blackpool and the Isle of Man. AS the
sea was rather rough, and the old
woman unaccustomed to sailing, she
said to her husbands:
ooh, John, this ship is going down."

LlNNEY's NOMINATION IN DOUBT
Ex-SoIicitor Newland Will Probably be
the Democratic Nominee.

Hickory. n. C., June 9.-(SpeciaD
As the time for the opening of the
campaign approaches, the subject OF
candidates is receiving a fair share
Of attention.
Sentiment in this county is strongly
i'm favor of a straight ticket and a
straight fight l am reliably Informed
that an influential Populist stated on
the streets of Hickory a few days ago
that if the Democrats declared for free
silver at Chicago, he intended to vote
with them. The Populists in general
have nothing to say and do not indi-
cate whether they will unite with the
Democrats in a fight for silver, or run
an independents ticket. The Demo
crafts of the county are opposed to the
two ticket idea.
EX-SolicitOr w. c. Newland is being
discussed as the probable Democratic
| candidate for Congress in the Eighth
district. 1t is not at all certain that
Mr.. Linney will be nominated. In
spite of his brilliant performance
anent the Alabama election case, there
is good deal of opposition to him. 1t
is said that his friends were very anx-
ious to have THE nomination made at
the recent Republican convention in
I,enoir, but the opposition prevailed.
His opponents do not seem to have
settled definitely upon anyone to put
in the field against him.

TILL THE BAND BEGINS TO PLAY,

We've had the nesting songbirds and
the roses on parade;
We've had the steam-piano and the cir
Gus lemonade;
The sun has gazed upon us with a
whitening naughty stare
That made us long for quarters with
the placid polar bear,
But doubts would come in spite of all
that weather-folk might say,
For it isn't truly summer till the band
begins to play.
The June-time lass has greeted us with
sweet unstudied arts
And her ribbons and her curls have
twined themselves around our
hearts:
We've set the hammock oscillatIng I'M
derneath the trees,
A pendulum to tick away the hours
of lazy ease;
Yet the feeling of completeness only
came the other day,
For it isn't truly summer till the band
begins to play. AZ
