pArrEnsoN vs. oARMACK.

The contest in the Tenth Tonnes
see District has been called by the
Committee on Elections in the
House, and will furnish some
mighty interesting reading to the
said committee. In days gone by no
man was more severe in his con-
domination of the vicious, ignorant,
negro element" than your Uncle
Josiah; but of late he has been even
more vicious still in his denuncia-
ton of those INSCRIPTIONS and
cruel whites who would undertake
to count Cuffy out. To some of
these later denunciations, Mr.. Car
mack, in his reply, retorts as fol-
lows:
"The accusations you make simply
reiterate the stale calumnies that have
been repeated ad nauseum against the
people of your congressional district
and in control of the election machinery
of that district The fact that you
have added your voice to that of the
defamers of your people lends neither
dignity nor truth to SANDER, You can
not elevate to plane of respectability
the caluminators of your country,
though you may easily and by a very
short step descend to their level. Dur
ing the whole course of your political
leadership in this district your people
have endured the same utilization for
your sake that they now suffer at your
hands. You yourself have been hello
up to the execration of your former pc
litical adversaries as the embodiment
of all that is wicked and corrupt in poll
tics. You have, unfortunately, by you
past course, and especially by the vic
lent and Incorporate character of your
public utterances, done much to give
color and truth to these accusations.
ain the abrupt departure that yol
have recently made from your forme
habits Of speech you have simply illus
trated the adaptability Of your con
science to the exigencies of your ambi
ton. When you suddenly ceased Il
rant about negro domination and be
gan to cant about purity of elections
you changed your methods withou
changing your character. Your pres
ent contest and your methods of pun
suing 1t is simply based upon the hop
that you can, by maligning the DemoC
raoy of your State and district, max
yourself more popular before Reput
liean House than you can ever hope

eight thousand operators were in

Senator Turley as follows: "Mr.
Carmack has strong case, and it
will be we'll and ably presented. OF
course it is impossible to predict
with safety what a Repub lican
House will do with regard to a
Democrats seat. 1 doubt whether
even partisan prejudice will go so
far as to unseat him, fbut if it does
Mr.. Carmack will be the gamer in

nobly in the next election, and Mr.,
Carmack will be returned by an
overwhelming majority"

THE COUNTRY EDITOR.

To be a just assessor is Swallowed in
uncertainty; to be county commits
sioner and do ones duty fearlessly is
more than can be expected; to satisfy
all applicants for post offices is beyond
the powers of a congressman; but
above and beyond these duties is the
task of the country editor. The as
SCISSORS pay goes on just the same;
the commissioner draws his per diem
in the usual way; the congressman
monthly stipend is issued with ordin-
airy regularity, but the editor s dollars
are cut short if he never so little tres
passes on on the ideas of subscrib-
er. All visitors either coming or 60
ing must be noticed. All births mnst
be told. Married people must be con-
graduated and and given a pretty no
tice, no matter whether the editor re-
ceives a bit of the wedding cake Or
not. All obituary notices must be full
of praise for the deceased. All dis
turbances of the peace in the neigh
boring towns must be spread before
the people and cold water thrown upon
similar events in the home town. No
business man may be praised foc his
worth without an equal share granted
to his competitor. All church, social
and other announcement must be made
whether the editor has knowledge OF
them or not. All these things and a
hundred others must be recorded in
the weekly paper free and compliment
tary or the paper is stopped and the
editor labeled an enemy tothe commu-
nifty, and a leech to the public welfare.
The editor, though, who tries to satisfy
everybody will be nervous in ten days,
weak kneed in a month, and a raving
maniac before the year is up. The
only road to editorial success is to
find a gold mine, marry a national
bank and run the paper to suit your
wife.-Delano Eagle.
