1t, in subsequent dates ot She Com mereial.
 The following are a few of the editorials, which are on file in this office, that have been stolen bodily from the Times Union and palmed of on the public as original by the editor of the Commercial:
 "A Transformation. Appeared in tue Albany Times Union NoYem- Der 15, 1898; appeared in the Com mercial, without credit aud as original, in it's issue of November 29, 1898.
 "Unifor Divorce Laws" Alp peared in the Times Union on Nov ember g; appeared in the Daily Commercial without credit and as an original editorial in it's issue of December 2.B
 "Life's Whirligig,' appeared in tue Times Union on November 26; appeared in the Commercial as apure reading matter" and as an original editorial in it's issue of De- eember 21.
 "Courting America" appeared in the Times Union on December 19, and was reproduced in the Conner cial as an original editorial on Janu, ary 3, 1899.
 The above papers are on file in this office and will be exhibited without charge to any who may app ply. Other instances might be mentioned but the above will suffice to show that the editor of the Com mereial is a rank plagiarist, a fake philosopher, @ hyeocritical moraist and a quack essayist.
 The editor of the Graphic may be "grossly ignorant of historical names and events, as asserted in Saturdays Commercial, buJ he pre- tends to be nothing more than he is; he does not steal the productions of others to appear classical; does not plagiarize in order to shine in q false light, and would rather be guilty of "gross ignorance than to be literary thief.

..ilueer CenditlOns." :"

Our esteemed contemporary, the Commercial, of recent date contain ed a very able editorial on the sub feet which makes the caption for this article, and which reminds us that we have discovered 0 very "Queer Condition" to exist in the conduct Of the editoral department of the Commercial,
 For year or more the public has been highly entertained and edifed by the perusal of moral homilies, philosophical essays, learned disser- Jations, and elaborate disqmsitions on variety of subjects in the edi- torial columns of the Commercial h consequence of these Editor Newman has acquired reputation which is, at least, Statewide, for philosophy and deep thinking. We have ourselves ofteh been regaled and edified by perusal, even at second hand, of'these learned essays. But we have discovered a very striking likeness between the edi. torial matter ln the Commercial and that which appears from tune to time in the editorial columns of the Albany (N. Y) Times Union. In fact, the likeness is so striking that editorials in tho Albany Times Union appear cer6atim ct ii'eFatim in the Commercial of an after date, all the way from one week to month apart. After observing this exact ness of subject and diction we were prone to think that it was simply another instance of where great minds run in the same channel, ' but we have since been informed that the Albany Times Union reaches the Commercial office with the same regularity that it does the Graphic's exchange table.
 The remarkable resemblance be tween editorials in the Times Union aud those appearing at subsequent date in the Commercial, without the customary credit, may be illus trated by tho following deadly parullel:n

"A Commercial League.

There is no difficulty in organiz ing Commercial League in Pine Bluff. The trouble begins in keep. ing it vigorously alive afterwards, and that is simply matter of dol lars and cents. Will the business men of the city furnish the money2 A few prominent citizens have ob- tained information about similar leagues and know about what monthly income will be necessary.
 The League at Fort Smith raises $175, which has been sufficient for their purpose. It is thought $125 per month will be ample for this city for the first year A commit tee will this week cali on the busi- ness mcn and explain their pur- poses, and will ask each man to subscribe definite amount to be pad monthly. On the result of their efforts will depend the estab- lishment of the League or its abar d. onment. Can the merchants afford to let this movement fail2 There are plenty of active, able business men here, some of whom will give their thought and time to making the work of the League effective.
 All that IS now in the way is rhe matter of an assured monthly in. come. Let our business men sub. scribe a stipulated sum to be paid monthly for this purpose.

Have to Fight Monkeys.

Bill Arp is qnaint philosopher,
 whose homely savings and droll stories have had a great effect on the Southern people, for whom he lives and writes. He conveys a solid truth to the farmer frequently in a story that to other people con, tain nothing but humor, says the Owensboro Inquirer. For instance, he says that not long aqo one horse farmer came to his town with two bales of cotton, his entire crop, and sold it at five cents Q pound. He complained bitterly to the merchant, and said if things were not better next year the farmerqwould perish.
 "A mischieyous drummer stand ing by said: Well, my friend, you must quit aising cotton or else buy some monkeys to pick it ut. Over in India and Egypt they make the monkeys pick their cotton, and that

s whats the matter. A monkey will pick thousand pounds a day and he feds on the seed. So itI costs hardly anything over there toI raise cotton, and our fas smers in Mississippi and Texas have sent over for a hundred thousand monk eys, and they will be over here in time to pick the next crop aud the price will go lower still, and if you don't get you a monkey or two you had better quit growing cotton, for you can't compete with monkeys" "
 The old man took it all in serious Iy and said: well, what is the poor farmer to do who hasn't the money to pay for the monkey2"
 ''Grow something else, :" said the drummer. 'Grow corn and wheat and sorghum and potatoes. Plant apple and peach trees, raise chick ems and eggs and a yearling calf or two to sell. Get up soon and stir around lively and make every mem Der of your family work. Work at something, for if you don't you will perish out. Go back home and take new start. Don't set down and grumble and blame somebody else with your poverty. Quit cotton un- til you can buy Lalf a dozen monk eys.n
 "The man went back home and circulated the monkey story, and for ten miles around the one-horse farmers have sworn off from raising any more cotton. That's what they tell me. They say that before the war the poor man couldn't compete with the rich mans nlggers, and now since he has lost his niggers he is buyin' monkeys to take their place and the poor man won't have any chance at all.
 "Of course there is no truth in this story, but there is a good deal of philosophy. New methods, new blows and machinery are the mon keys, and if the poor farmer does not work early and late he will keep poor. l know some country women who make more money on their chickens. and eggs and butter than theii aabands do on their cotton and wheat. Little things well nursed count up more than big ones. The thrifty farmer always brings W .th him something to sell when he has to come to town. Some fowls or eggs or potatoes or a shoat or some fruit in it's season. There IS a good home market for all these little things. In fact, if we leave out cot ton everything the farmer grows brings about the same old prices of ten years ago, and everything be has to buy except coffee is much cheaper than it was then. Every thing that is made Of cotton is 40 per cent. cheaper, and everything made of iron or steel or tin is 50 per cent. cheaper. Beef and pork and chickens and turkeys and eggs and wool and potatoes and apples and peaches have not come down a nickle in ten years. Labor is a lit tie cheaper, not much. We still pay the same for cooking and washing and work in the garden. If any body has a reason for complaining of hard times it is the town people, who have everything to buy. The farmer who is not in debt and owns his farm is better off than he ever was, and the prudent renter can pay rent and make money farming" | -
