Not at all Funny.

Some folks may think it fun to run
country newspaper but few months,
actual experience usually dispels all
the funny part of it. Usually, the
country newspaper man is an all-round
sort of genius and he does a little of
everything, from receiving visitors and
writing editorials in the front office, to
washing rollers and mixing inks i'll the
other end of the shop. He learns all
this when he learns his trade, and can't
get out of the habit. 1t is all right to
talk about editing the paper but
with the ordinary newspaper man, the
editing is only one of the many things
to be done. The books must be kept.
advertising and job work solicited, ac
counts collected, delinquent subscrib
ers dunned, and new ones invited to
enroll their names, ways and means
provided to liquidate paper bills and
printers wages, and "a thousand and
one things that nobody outside ever
thinks about. No, it is not an alto
gether easy and desirable life to feed
the press all day and write things out
of ones head half the night, and yet it
is what most conscientious and sue
cessful country publishers do every
day and every week in the year. For
a striking example of the strenuous
life, look to the country newspaper

CENST!S MATTERS.

Director Merriam of the census has
issued bulletin explaining the omis.
sion to include questions as to relig-
ion amongst those asked by the emu
merators. He says: THE last religious
census was gathered from the church
authorities and not from individuals.
The government of the United States
does not concern itself with the re-
ligious opinions of its citizens. 1t
does not consider that it has any right
to inquire into thier hereditary or per
sonal convictions regarding matters
of faith, or into their ecclesiastical re.
lations, and the information obtained,
if the enumerators we're instructed to
ask this question, would be so incom.
plete and inaccurate as to be of little
practical value" But, he adds, 1.-THE
last census, though complete and very
accurate, proved of little value. The
conditions of membership in the va.
rious bodies calling themselves Chris.
tian vary so indefinitely, that compari.
sons of UNCONVENTIONAL strength based
upon nominal membership in the sew.
eral churches cannot be otherwise
than misleading. There are religious
denominations in which children born
of parents connected with those organ.
izations are birthright mem.
bers of them, without baptism, con.
firmation, or any personal profession
of religious faith. Admission to other
churches is by baptism and confirma
ton, or other act. In comparing the
statistics of membership in one relig
ious body with those in another, there
fore, we are comparing things which
are so dissimilar as to elude compar
ison, The attempt to estimate the
strength of religious denomination
by the number of sittings in the
churches is also misleading, since il
the Roman Catholic churches the same
edifice is used by different worshipper:
at different hours of the day, while il
the Protestant churches generally, the
seating capacity of an edifice exceeds
the average attendance. This is sub
ject which will bear serious considera
ton and discussion on the part o
those more particularly interested il
this inquiry, and any suggestion relat
ing to it, addressed to the Director o
the Census, will be welcomed

Rev. DR.. Swallow, the candidate for
President of the United Christian
ticket, has been attacking Presi-
dent Mckinley unsparingly. He said
recently: "If we must choose between
the two candidates of the cid parties,
| must say that should support the
man who clings to principle and ad.
heres to what he believes to be right
rather than the man whom the people
never know where to find on any vital
issue; who was against the liquor traf
fic at one time and for it now; who was
for free silver and is now for high
tariff; who was for free trade with
Porto Rico and then for Porto Rican
tariff. lam slow to criticise the head
of our government, but when man
breaks his vow of total abstinence as a
Methodist, when he puts the bottle to
his neighbours lips by spreading liquor
before his guests, when he nullifies a
law which Congress passed to destroy
the canteen saloon and thus tempts
the nations soldiers to drunkenness
and rioting, it is not too much to say
that such man is not fit ruler of a
people who believe that righteousness
exalteth a nation"

MISSISSIPPI POPTLTSTS.

To the roPuliSts Of Mississippi Greeting:
You are requested to meet at your
respective county seats in each county
on Saturday, the 18th day of August,
1900, and appoint delegates to State
Convention to be held in the city of
Jackson, Mississippi, on Wednesday
the 18th day of August, 1900, for the
purpose of selecting an electoral ticket
to be voted for President and Vice
President of the United States of
America on November the 9th, 1900,
and to attend to such other business
as may come before the convention.
County Executive Committees are
requested to take such steps as are
necessary to further this call. And
in case of any failure on their part, the
people are authorized to assemble and
appoint delegates to said Convention.
Congressional Committees are re-
quested to call Mass Meetings in CO
operation of this call and | most res
pectively urge that a time and place
be designated by them for the holding
of Congressional District conventions
and that delegates be appointed also
at those Mass Meetings to said Con
ventions, and in case of no action by
Executive Committees | suggest that
any citizen who wishes to initiate may
take it upon himself to make the call
and designate a time and place for
holding of said conventions and that
the people cooperate and act accord
ingly. We urge that every Populist
attend these meetings as well as all
others who wish to join our ranks and
guarantee to all the most courteous
treatment.
We are struggling for reform and
are strictly in the mlddle-o of the road
and we're divorced from the Butler,
Weaver and Allen fusion gang on May
9th, 1900, at Cincinnati and are now
on the high road to more perfect or
ganization. Our principles have been
enthroned in the hearts of all true re
formers and if they are good enough
for other parties to take, they are good
enough for us to stand by.
Mass Meetings, Executive Commit
tees and all we'll wishers to our cause
are requested to raise small cam
paign fund and send to these head
quarters. as we need fund 70 legiti-
mate campaign purposes, i'll order to
defray expenses for postage and to dis
seminate literature, etc.

Souvenir Shells Work.

Mrs. Mehitable Luke of Snydertown,
near Midland Park, y. j., has been
cured of the souvenir craze. She visit
ed friends at Pompton Lakes several
months ago. During her stay an eX-
plosion took place at the Smith Elec-
trical works in which six lives were
lost. Hundreds of charged fuses were
strewn about the countryside, and per-
sons picked up the loaded shells, fgno-
rant that they had not detonated and
were very dangerous.
Mrs. Luke one morning returned
home with a loaded shell in a hand
satchel. She believed it harmless and
when her little daughter demanded it
as plaything gave it up with the in
tention of replacing it later. 1t was

The Greenville Democrat cOrrects
the published statement that the new
judge of the Fourth district was born
in New York and came to this State
twelve years ago. 1t says:
Judge Larkin was born and reared
in Lawrence county, Miss, the same
county in which Governor Longino
was reared. He was educated in the
public schools of Lawrence county aud
the University of Mississippi. His
first trip to Oxford to attend the Uni
versity was his first long trip away
from home, and the story is told on the
judge that a considerable amount of
coaxing was required to induce him
to wear shoes when he started on the
trip, while great preparations were
made and minute instructions were
given him before he started, that he
might be able to make the journey to
Oxford. No; Judge Larkin was not
reared in New York city, but is a true
Mississippian, a genuine Democrat, a
thoughtful, courteous gentleman, an
able lawyer and splendid Judge"

Commonwealth, says:

which Gov. Longino is making. | am

ton up to date has been exalted above
the littleness and meanness of factions,
the cowardly, craven crookedness of
envy, jealousy and revenge is so
unlike the pusillanimity of his noto-
rious predecessor that one is perpet
ually reminded of it and delighted by
the contrast. 1t is really refreshing to
contemplate. If the governor will
only stay in the middle of the road aud
persist in we'll doing, he will leave a
record which will be an honor to him
and a matter of pride to his fellow

DENOCRlCiS "TTRN".

\ very interesting plea is made for
the success of the Bryan ticket in Les
lies Weekly. Republican journal in
New York. 1t says:
Upon what does Mr. Bryan's party
base its hope of carrying the country
in 1900? Upon analogy, upon chance
and upon belief that its cause is in
herently strong with the people.
In every election for President in
which the same candidates confronted
each other twice in succession the
nominee who was beaten in the first
instance won in the second. jefferson,
who was defeated by John Adams in
1886, defeated Adams in 1900 jackson,
who was left behind by John Quincy
Adams in the contest which went to
the House of Representatives in 1924,
was far ahead of Adams in the electoral
college in 1928. William Henry Har-
rison, who was easily beaten by Van
Buren, in 1896, just as easily defeated
was siXty-five in the minority in the
electoral college Of 1888 in the contest
against Harrison, had majority of
more than double that figure, or 1872,
over Harrison in 1892 New York and
Indiana have been swinging alternately
from one party to the other in sue
cessive canvasses for more than
quarter of century, and both were
carried by the Republicans in 1896.
Four years of power for each party
has been the rule for several success,

Democracy's turn to win in 1900.

President Mckinley has recently
signed bill passed by the Chinese

censes for marriages between Indian
brides and white men from the ordi-

this is to break up the practical sale
of Indian brides to white men, who
thereby acquire tribal rights and the
title to certain amount of Indian
land. This law does not forbid the
Indian girls marrying white men, but
the tribal benefits Dc not go with such
a wedding, unless 5000 is paid. Con
sequently, the price is 50 high to those
who marry for money, that the girl is
