The papers Of the small towns-ol
county papers, as they are called
whose editors have opinions of their
own and are not afrnid to express
them, are not, as a rule, a financial
success. This is due to the fact that
every corrupt being has an influence.
Let the editor take up the meeting
of the county board, for instance.
and show where hundreds of dollars
have been squandered, and the super
vlsors, at the very first opportunity,
cut down his allowance. When he
speaks Of the bad condition of the
streets and sidewalks and the advisa-
bility of electing Il mayor who will
attend to his duty, he will find the
city printing, which he formerly got.
with Clark X Coats or some other
printers name on it. When he warns
the people Of the merchants of his
city who are asking too much for their
goods he finds that they have iniu-
enccd their neXt-door hardware man
to stop his advertisement with the
next issue. Let him express an honest
opinion on the school. the church or
society. and those who differ from
him are soon calling at the Office to
stop their subscriptions. Those vino
owe subscriptions and are made to
pay are his lifelong enemies. But.
1t or not, lie is the friend of
all, Upon the honest country editor
aim is right and who has a
thought of his own and is not afraid
to express it, the future of this coun-
Try depends. The powers of trusts
bluff or their money buy him.
The threatening voice Of the politi.
ian has no terrors. Such Il man is a
'rlend of the people not only of the
in which he lives, but of the
tate he defends. and he deserves the
upport Of all the citizens.

A crusade a%painst the hind tigers


A crusade against the blind tigers
must be started. and started at once,
by the law-abiding citizens Of our
city, or they will not only ruin our
young men-even the boys-take life
or cause bloodsiied, but, as Il protcc-
tion, drive many Of our best citizens
who are now bitterly opposed to the

up to vote for 1t. We were told Il
few days ago by Il man who ought to
know that there are at least fifteen of

In our city limits, and that some of
them are operated by respectable men.
We did not question the number,
Judging from the drunkenness seen

word itself. But this is the "tiger"

ample be made. and we dare say the
ignorant black tiger will stick to his
hole for many months or seek a more
healthy lair. The officers of the law
need the financial rs well as the moral
support of our people in supprcsslng
this evil, for while the monster roamS

would have been today their idol and
their choice for governor. But this
he would not do for any Office or any
sum. He is a mar above price, and.
entering the race, as he does, with no
pledges to any set or ring, OF ANY
promises to fulfill. he can be termed
the peoples candidate. Young in
manhood, he will enlist the strong
support Of the young men throughout
the state. and advocating that which
will benefit the state and add to its
honor, condemning that which will
injure or disgrace, he will be selected
by the democracy to head its ticket.

A Close Call.

Last Thursday night about 1876
p. m. one of the lamps in Olmstead &
Rosenoff's store exploded after Mr.
Olmstead had closed the store. What
might have resulted in serious loss
to the firm was prevented by the
timely appearance of HI. A. York, the
head clerk, who was just then passing
the store and was attracted by the
blaze. He quickly got out the fire
extinguisher and soon had the fire
put out. Ore of the counters, table
cover and some fancy paper was burn
ed and the show cases broken by the
heat. The damage amounted to
about $35 which will be paid by the
German American Insurance Co., who
carry the risk. Had the flames gotten
under Roadway or Mr.. York been few
minutes later doubtless the entire
block from Pacific hotel to Myers d
Shipman's store would have been con-
sumed.

The Chalk Talk.

A large and appreciative audience
was present last night in the M. E.
church to see and hear Mrs. Maude l..
Greene, the national chalk-talker.
Mrs. Greene is fine artist and WELD
ed the crayon with skill, using right
left or both hands at once with equal
freedom. Beautiful and humorous
scenes grew with lightning rapidity
under her deft fingers, while her
words, full OF earnestness, or sparkling
with humor, kept pace with her cray
on. Those who did not hear her miss
ed rare treat. Mrs. Greene visited
the public schools yesterday and adj
dressed the pupils to the delight OF all.
Mrs. Greene will speak again tonight
at 1880 in the M. E. church. The
pictures and talk will be different
from last evening. Mrs. Greene is
working in the interests of humanity
and should be greeted with a large
audience tonight. No admission is
charged but collection will be taken.
