Our Way.

We have no desire to unjustly reflect
upon the honor of any public officer, or
to do any man injustice; nor is it our
intention to depreclate the merits Or
mental endowments of such men indis-
criminately; but we will SO long AS we
WELD an editorial pen, make unrelent-
ing warfare against corruption and in
ability wherever and in whomever
found.
Wen speak of it though hell itself should
And bid us hold our peace.
In the TINES, the honest, unsuspect-
ing, confiding, political-ridden masses,
shall find faithful, fearless advocate,
that neither the lust of power, the fear
of mortal man, nor the sordid love of
gold, shall ever swerve from its course
or deter from utterance when its con-
science impels it to speak or act. We
claim no special credit for this. nor to
be "holier" than many other men. 1t
is just the way God has made us, and
we are 100 old to learn new tricks. No
man living however, will "eat dirt"
quicker when wrong or make all honor
able amends to those we may unwit-
ingly aggrieve or injure.

Explanation.

The TIMES has never entered into I
com bine in regard to the county print
ing, but believing the county able anG
willing to pay for its printing at remu
neratiye prices for the information Of
the tax payers, and that some equitable
and honest plan could be adopted by
which both the papers in Canton could
be benefited, we, under legal advise
ment proposed for the two papers to
make the sama bid and then after
awardment of contract to divide the
proceeds. This was done with the full
knowledge of the Board, and they and
all parties deemed it legitimate and
honorable. The Board said it could
not award joint contract, but that
one of the papers must have it, and d.
vide with the other. The whole mat
ter was discussed openly before the
Board by the junior representatives OF
both papers and by agreement known
to all, the representatives of the two
papers mentioned, agreed for the con-
tract to be made with the Picket
which was done and existed short
while. This contract was adjudged by
the Attorney of the Board, illegal, and
annulled. Whatever may be the weight
of legal learning to the contrary, we
believe this was valid and equitable
proceeding, and that in the present
status of affairs the Board has no legal
contract with any one, having abrogat-
ed it's last contract with the lowest le-
gal bidder, and made verbal one.
This explanation is made solely for the
information of the public and that we
may appear in our true light. We are
not DESTROYS of being captious, resent
full or malicious toward any one. nor
have we any private grievance to re-
dress. We have paid very high trib.
ute, deservtdly in our opinion, both to
the Board and it's Attorney. but our
best friend nor our own family are free
rom just criticism at our i,ands. as we
see things. This matter ends here
with US, unless forced to pursue it fur
her. If the Board and the people are
satisfied, we will continue to paddle
,ur own canoe.

Jews.

We are not in love with any Jew-if
we were younger and single We might
not be bic to say sO-we are under no
special obligation to any Jew and never
have been-yet we are constrained to
say they are very remarkable people
aud bear the stamp OF many most com
mendable characteristics. The query
has recently been made why Jews
were so universally successful and vari-
ons reasons assigned, some true but
more antrue. In our opinion the first
cause of success is due to business
heredity. The Jews having been a
trades-people in every country siace
their dispersion from Judea, where
they were pastoral and agricultural.
The monogenisis which the Gordon OF
isolation, begotten of intermarriage
has built up and perpetuated between
them and the rest of mankind trans
mits all their special characteristics
and intensifies them as time continues.
TO this hereditary impulse is added the
very best of training and family infiu-
ence. A Jewish boy is taught bust
ness from his earliest years and kept
constantly at it ard drilled in it thor
oughly both by precept and example.
They are sober race of men and virtu
Gus class of women as rule. Who can
point to a drunken Jew or Jewish |
prostitute. Yet they are not only
many of them vendors of liquor and
beer, but their youth ever have free ac-
cess to il. Jewish women-we are in
formed, make the best of wives and
housekeepers AS to honesty, our ex
perience and observa tion has taught |
us that in proportion to numbers they |
rank as high as any other anti semitic |
race. A Jewish Rabbi opened the St. |
Louis Repu blican National Convention |
with prayer. They have achieved the |
highest rank in law and literature and |
have filled the highest govern
mental positions within constitutional |
Limitations in many countries; nota bly, |
judah, =. Benjamin in this country
and Disraeli in England. AllJews are
gold standard men, which from their
acknowledged high business standard
proves the theory one Of safe princi-
pie. Jews not only furnished the sinews
of war to Washington and the Con-
tinental Congress in our own resolu-
tionary war and all other countries,
but have made excellent soldiers in
their adopted countries. No Jews
ever enter poor houses, or make de
mands upon public charities. They
sustain their own INDECENT and help
less peaple. Non-believers in the chris
tan religion-yet like the ancient Gre
clans aud Romans, they maintain high
honor attain to highest honors, and
practice the sublimest virtues. They
have noble examples of unsectarian
charities, notably the late Barron
Hirsch. Whenever it becomes neces-
'sry for us to criticise jew or Jews
we will do so.
