The Country Editor.

The country editor of to-day is an evolu-
ton. lime was whtn he came with the
scent of clover blossoms on his home spun
raiment, and his pocket full of railway
passes. He took his pay for subscription
in punky turnips and in cordwood that was
incombustble, while the advertising bills
were paid with shelf-worn goods that were
out of season.
To-day the country editor does business
on cash basis. He makes an iron-clad
contract with railway companies, by which
he receives mileage for SO many lines of
advertising at regular rates. He asks no
favors and no bounties. As rule, he
yields a free lance. The politicians fear
him, and when he opens his batteries the
corporationist in office and the defilers Of
public morals run to cover. If he is the
publisher OF daily, he may use perfecting
presses and Linotype machines. He occu-
pies commanding position in the commu-
nifty in which he lives He is in close
touch with the people. He often presides
over conventions, and is actively identified
with everything that is progressive

Quality

The difference in cost between using
Worcester Sat-the standard for dairv-and the
very cheapest is about one cent in every fifty boyas
of butter made. The chance of loss in expert
menting with the cheap salt would be from fifty
cents to one dollar, and possibly more. Is the
saving (?) of one cent with chance of one dollar
loss wise speculation? We leave the answer
with the dairyman, believing he will decide to use
the best dairy salt known to the civilized world

The management OF TIE Marlborough
Athletic Club OF New York had unique
experience last night. They hsd arranged
for J DC Walcott, the we'll known colored
weIterw eight, to meet Dick UBrien OF

at catch weights.
Since the match was nsds another
Broad way club claimed prior right TO
O'Brien's services in GO, which is to
take place NEXT Friday night, with Dan
erection. A lively controversy has been
wagod between the managers OF the rival
clubs for o'Brien's appearance. and last
night It was doubtful whether ne would
show up as the adversary OF walcott.
To avoid Disappointing the crowd OF
sports WHO throngcd the arena, Manager
Anderson arranged to have MYSTERIOUS
Billy Smith or Tom West I'LL up the gap
ana meet the coIored pugilist at catch
weights for 20 rounds.
The necessity OF having two trained
men in readiness to go into the ring at
moments notice, either TO take the place
OF a delinquent, was a decided novelty
in pugilism. IL was ruIored that O'Brien
would enter the ring In the big event
and "lay down" TO Wnlcott and claim
the LOSERS end OF the money.
When asked what action the club would
take in the event OF O'BrIen adopting
these tactics, Manager An derson said
slf he does we will pnt on another man,
and give our patrons their moneys

O'Brien failed to show up, and Tommy
West went on and nearly put walcott to

The bout was declared a draw.
There was only two bouts on the pro-

The opening pout was f0-rouDd affair
