NOT A MATTER OF DEMAND -
BUT OF RIGHT.

Frank acknowledgment of error of
judgment is always to be taken as in
dicative of sincerity of conviction. A
few days ago our esteemed eontempor-
ary. the Stockton Mail, asked What is
the use of this wall over yellow journal
ism? If the people did not want yellow
journals they would not buy, would
they?"
To this the Record Union" replied
that the questions asked were illogical,
because it assumed that those who buy
are the only people affected. That on
the contrary there is large and exceed
ingly important class whose interests
are gravely involved in whatever in
daily literature affects formation of
character. This class is one of depend
ents. those for whom society is respon-
sible, and to whom the law nor the
ethics of society hold to personal re-
sponsibility in any large degree, namely
minor children and wards, those over
whom we exercise guardianship, those
with whose education and character
building We who are older are charged.

THE COLONEL's FRIEND.
He Came From Kentucky and the
Earth Revo1ved Round Him.

II hope" said Colonel Stillwell to an
acquaintance whom he had recently
made, that you will allow me TO nave
the extreme pleasure of introducin a
friend of mine, so that the pleasure OF
his conVuhsation can be added to the
other features which go to make the
accidental meetin' of this little pahty
of friends most memorable an graf
ifyin' event, suh.'
Certainly, Colonel" replied the host
of the occasion; bring him along. Who
is he?"
His nam, sub, is Major Mott, sub.
don't think you have evuh met him. He
is ve'y exclusive
Does he 1--we here?"
NO. And OWN to that circum-
stance it's natural that you shouldn t
fully appreciate the fact that he is one
of the most remarkable men with
whom it will evuh be yoh privilege to
claim acquaintance. 1t will sound like
flight of or'try, sub, but 1 think I
may say, sub, without fear of success
full contradiction, that Major Mott is
the pivot around which this entiah So
lar system revolves, suh!"
That sounds very much eXaggerat-
ed" was the gentle remonstrance.
Il can prove the assertion. In the
first place, most anybody will admit
that so fab as we have any means of
Judg1n', scientifically or otherwise this
earth is the most consequential planet
that circulates through space"
1T certainly is, so far as we know
And thuh's no use of takin' any
thin we don't know as the basis of an
argument. 1t is also matter of COM
mon notoriety that among the CONT
nents of this earth the one which ex-
cells in fertility of soil, grandeur of
scenery, masculine chivalry, and fem
mime beauty, the American continent
stands fo'mos'."
Undoubtedly" was the patriotic re-
ply
And what is the greatest country on
the American continent?"
THE United States"
Exactly. Now follow me kyahful-
ly. If there is any gentleman from
Kentucky here, I know he will bear
me out in the assertion that of all the
States in the United States Kentucky
can produce mo- craftsmanship, mo-
Dlue grass, and mo- valor than anay
other. 1t is not necessary fo' me to
tell you anything about huh achieve
ments in the past and huh resources
toh the future. And if you had come
FUN that State you would know as
we'll as did that the State of Kentucky
couldn't get along without the town of
Calhoun. And everybody in that town
Will agree with me in saying that Cal
houn, Kentucky, sub, wouldn't be Cal
noun, Kentucky, if it did not include
Major Mott as a respected and inf1u-
entail resident. Detroit Journal.

The harmony prevailing in the Popu-
list camp is of the order that plvots
upon epithets and is manifest in slog-
ging and hair pulling matches. The
scenes in the San Francisco committee
of the party and in the Tennessee party
convention as reported in news ae-
counts, smack of anything but ability
of the party membership to run q
political organization that set out with
