FRESS CRITICISM.

In defending the right of the
press to criticise public officials
the Chattanooga News restates
some elementary principles upon
which this right of the press is
founded;
First. Public officials; are the
servants, not the masters of the
people.
Second. They would be mast
r and not servants if the peo-
pie did not watch them and
rebuke them when they exceeded
or abused their authority.
Third. The newspapers are
the eyes and the voice of the
people.
Fourth. Public men under
stand when they accept office
that their acts are to be subject
to criticism and if they are not
willing to be criticised, they
have no business to run for
office.
Fifth. If they are unjustly
censured they can always find
means of defending themselves
in the public prints or the
courts.
The public interest always
suffers when a newspaper re-
fuses to throw light upon the
affairs of State and when they
are muzzled entirely on any subs
jects about which they ought to
speak malfeasance and misfeas.
ance in Office flourish apace.
If employees of the public are
allowed to perform services in a
slip.shod way with knowledge
that no newspaper will raise its
voice in complaint, how can it
be expected that others who
come after them will do any
better? If one officer is allowed
to abuse his trust without the
fear of being held up to public
scorn and denunciation, all
other may claim the same ex-
emption and the inemciency,
jobbery and corruption that
would result are not difficult to
imagine. II is only by holding
the servants of the people to
strict accountability through the
press that business-like methods
and honesty can be assured.

and a large crowd focked around
to see the fine display Of milch
cows. yearling, and the magnif-
cent bull of Judge Graham. The
show was a good one and we
never saw it's equal at the State
Fair. Much more attention is
being paid to having good COWS
now than formerly. We doubt
if the town and county have ever
had as many fine mulch cows in
it as it now has. This is a good

He Wanted the Place.

About four years ago a Republican
in a Western town, who kept a general
store, helped his wife, who is a strong
Democrat, to get the appointment of
postmistress. The office was in his store,
of course, and naturally stimulated
trade. But as a Republican is now
likely to be appointed in her place, the
husband think ks he might as well be
that Republican, and so he has written
a letter to his Congressman, in which
he says: II suppose there will be sew
eral applicants for the postmaster here.
I think that a change here should be
made at once. l have nothing to say
against the character Of the present in
cumbent and no charges to make
against her. But, George, as you well
know, she is one of the most bitter
Democrats in this county. She talked
and worked for Bryan go openly and
persistently that l think it would be we'll
to have her fired at once, and l wan

Good Roads DELAYED.

There is to be no road legislation in
New York this year. In spite of all
hearings and arguments the country
members are opposed to any change.
Their fathers carried the grist to mill
ON horseback and they are willing to
do the same. They say the roads are
all right in good weather and when the
weather is bad it is best not to travel.
A bill had been arranged that placed
half the cost Of road improvement on
the State, 80 per cent. on the county and
10 per cent. on the locality benefited.
1t reduced the costs to districts to less
than that attending the old "phatmas
ter" system. But it did not 60, and as
a result the era Of decent roads will be
put off another session.-New York

ECONOMY OF HARD ROADS.
They Save Money for All, But More Especl-
ally for the Farmer.

They Save Money for All, But More Especl-
ally for the Farmer.
The weakness of the common argu.
ment of the farmers that good roads
are of benefit to wheelmen only is
brifly and forcibly shown by a writer
in the Chicago record. He says: ITO
q who is accustomed to hard roads
the discussions of Illinois farmers on
the futility of constructing them seem
ridiculous. 1t would seem as il the
reason would teach them that it would
be more pleasant, to say the least, to
drive over a hard road that would only
become a triie sloppy in the worst
weather than to struggle through the
stickiest of mud. 1t is scarcely better
when it freezes. l have known farm
ers In western Illinois to completely
wear out a new buggy by driving over
the rough roads, where on hard roads
the winter season would have been but
little harder upon a vehicle than any
other.
Hard roads should be looked upon
not as a luxury alone, but as a matter
of economy although luxuries they un.
doubtedly are, But let the Illinois
farmer consider in how many ways he
is hampered, his work hindered, per.
haps his crops sold at a loss, all on &C.
count OF bad roads, and he will come
to the conclusion that bicyclists are not
the only one interested in the good
roads movement.
ut seems a weak sort of argument
upon which to base opposition to this
much needed reform that farmers ought
to oppose the movement because bicy.
clists are in favor of it 80 strongly.
Yetsuch an argument we find advanced
at an Illinois farmers institute, the
speaker considering the wheelmen az
the enemy Of the farmer because the
use Of bicycles has to a certain degree
aided in bringing about the present
low price of horses. And we find an
other making the preposterous state.
ment that bicyclists and the manufac-
turers of stone crushers and of brick
are the only ones benefited by good
roads. So long as the farmer stands In
his own light after this fashion and re.
fuses to lend his encouragement to a
movement intended to benefit him
more than any n else how can he ex.
pect to better his present hard lotp
Others are not going to do it for him."

FOR THE BOYS,

Mrs. DIR. Pengelly in an article on the
tobacco habit, among many other good
points calls the attention of the boysto
the cost of tobacco in the following:
"Then give them the financial argu.
ment against tobacco. Boys will al.
ways listen when you talk about
money. Many boys at ten years OF age
are spending ten cents a day for cigar
cites. Now compute this sum for
eleven years and see their eyes glisten.
Ten cents per day for one year would
be 1885 30, and this sum placed in the
bank at seven per cent. for ten years,
would be So, 1865, a nice little sum for q
young man twenty one years old to
commence business with. Then con.
trast this young man with one who for
eleven years has been burning up his
money and wrecking his health in the
use of this poison. A child will re.
member such teaching and it will make
an impression"
The Atlanta W. c. T. U. has begun
a crusade, the object of which is to
have a curfew law by which all child
rem under the age of sixteen shall be
made to stay at home after a certain
hour of the night, unless away with
the known consent of their parents.
Many towns in this country have
adopted this law and are pleased with
its operations. This law has q history.
When the Normans, under the lead of
William the Conquerer, made a con-
quest of England in the middle ages,
they introduced in that country a Gus
tom OF ringing a curfew bell as a sig.
nal for the inhabitants of towns to re.
tire to their homes, extinguish their
lights, and 60 to bed. William the
Conquerer succeeded in impressing the
English people that the curfew was a
good Institution. So deep was this i'm
preston that it still exists in some Dor.
tons of England, and there are towns
where the curfew bells toll every even.
ing. What the Normans did for Eng
land, these Christian women would do
for Atlanta in a modified and whole.
some form. 1t can do no personal or
public harm, and a do large good to
many of the rising generation. The
home is the place for children and not
the streets. especially at night.
The curfew ordinance enacted by the
Kansas City City Council has been in
force in the city almost a year, and il
has been pronounced a success. Be.
fore it went into effect youngsters were
frequently at play on the streets as
late as 10 and II at night, but now
when the big Armour whistle blows al
O'Clock every night they scamper of
to their homes and go to bed.
The law prohibiting cigarettes sold
in Tennessee is now in effect. The
law is very explicit. 1t provides tina
no cigarettes shall hereafter be sold OF
otherwise disposed of in the State Of
Tennessee. 1t prohibits the bringing
of cigarettes into the State. 1t express
ly forbids the sale of any imitation
thereof, and also prohibits the sale Of
cigarette papers. Such a law as this
should be passed for Alabama, instead
of coal oil and back tax laws.-Gads
