THE IMPOSSIBLE.

To run a newspaper without oc-
casionally publishing an item that is
untrue, or giving offense, is. like run
ming railroad without having acct
dents and smashups. It can't be done.
No man in the world is so much inn
posed upon as an editor Of newspaper.
Pushed with work continually, he
must rely upon second and third par
ties for information as to events that
transpire. Frequently statements are
received from reliable people, but
which are subsequently, discovered to
be without foundation. If, therefore,
kind reader, you find yourself ag-
grieved by statement in your home
paper keep. the fact in your mind. Do
| not fly off. the handle, but go to the
editor and ask for correct ion i and9take
our word for it, nine, cases out Of ten If
your case isejust you will be received
politely and the correction made with
pleasure: But if instead of doing this
you will go around blowing about the
editor, don't be surprised if you are
treated with scant courtesy when yor
visit the Office. There are but few O.
us entirely faultless. - Wiaedono Re

ADVISES A FILIBUSTER.

A fakish quarrel between the two
branches of the legislature: is the
scaly means to be resorted to in order
to prevent reapportionment. The dis
pute was precipitated by the senate
demanding equal representation with
the house on the committee on reap
portionment, and the whole contro-
versy is subterfuge for the purpose
of defeating action. The representa-
tives of the sixth and seventh districts
must do little flibustering in order
to obtain their rights and the method
we suggested, of blocking all appro-
priations, would be a quick means OF
compelling reapportionment Norris

DEEP IN WIRE GRASS.

''Four years more Of Grover and {
then we'll be in clover" is what the
free-traders said in 1892. If any one
thinks we have been in clover for the
last four years, clover will be in dis
repute with him hereafter. If the free
traders think we have been in clover,
we are forced to conclude that they
can't tell clover from the scant graz
ing on a, barren and rocky hillside.
It is quite as painfully evident that the
free-traders are not farmers as it is
that their policy Of free-trade is the
farmers deadliest foe. AZ r 2 e.

A WRITER in the North american Re-
vieao for January says: However we
aualyze the vote cast for Mr.. Bryan,
it's size indicates that the principles he
represents will hardly be relinquished
at once, and that in four years the bat
tie may have to be fought over again.
In short, we seem to have rather
earned truce than a victory. If the
new administration is successful, il
values rise and business generally with
wages improve, the next fight will be
less severe. If the new administration
fails, the fight will be correspondingly
more bitter.''

KILLED A WOMAN.
Wou1d-Be Assassin of a Man Misses His Mark, But Kills a Woman h.
 stead-Posse in Pursuit.

About two months ago a negro named Robert Payne attempted to shoot Weigh Boss John Holmes at Brookside. He failed, however, and made good his eS- cape. An attempt was made at the time to arrest him, but without avail, and he has been at large ever since. It was known that he had been paying occa- sional visits to the vicinity and it was determined to keep lookout for him, but without avail.
 Yesterday morning Payne went to the house of Alex Tyre for the purpose of killing a negro named Bob Johnston. He tried to get in the house, but the door was fastened and he could not gain the desired entrance. Finally he forced open the door. and on gaining the interior fired at Johnson, but missed him, the bullet striking and instantly killing Tyres wife.
 4 large posse was instantly formed to capture the assassin. but up to this writing they have not succeeded in cap turing him.
 Payne is thought to be somewhere in the neighborhood in hiding with the ir- tention.of killing some one else
