The enterprising newspaper
man of the east who started
the story of wasps driving
passengers off a train and
taking possession, deserves a
chrome for bis modesty. He
has probably not heard of the
Florida mosquitoes which
caught lightning bugs one
dark night and tagged a train
in order to board it and muir
der the passengers.

Old People Made Young.

Mr.. Bryaa, in his speech Of acceptance
to the populists, carefully went over the
planks of the respective platforms of the
democratic and populist parties, and
found themj jsH alike, except that the
democrats We he'd greenbacks redeem
able in coin Z cent silver dollars) and
the populists want irredeemable green.
backs. So at last listening world has
found out the difference between Bryan
democrat and a Bryan populist. 1t is,
that democrat wants dollar worth Al
cents, and populist wants a dollar
worth nothing. Mr.. Bryan didn't say
positively. but seemed to rather prefer
the worthless dollar.
When Mr.. Bryan replied to the demo-
cratic committee however, he did not
refer to finance, he probably thought that
committee fully understood the .'politi-
cal" aspect of that issue-without public
explanation.
However, we are glad at last to learn
from SO high authority, the difference in
actual intrinsic value between the pop
ulist and democrat, "47 cents" Sounds
like a bargain sale advertisement, don't it?

SOME NEWS POINTS.

1fyou see newspaper man on the
street, in the store, at the office-any.
where-kindly remember that he is al.
-always-looking for news. Dom,
take it for granted that he already knows
that somebody has come, that man has
been drowned, that a child has been
born, or hundred other things have
happened. Ask him if he has heard ol
it, and even if he has, he will thank you
for your kindness. Everybody wants a
good local paper, and if everybody will
help, the editor will be able to make q
paper that everybody likes to read
There are some persons who always
make it rule to assist the editor in this
way, and they are relied on and held in
grateful remembrance by the scribe. and
more would do it, only they don't thinl,
oft.
Another point. Many people seem to
fear that if they tell the editor abou,
themselves, or families, or visitors, etc.,
that they are putting themselves and their
affairs too forward, that they will seem
as iftrying to get themselves and affairs
into the paper. This is a false idea, be.
cause, even these people read with in.
terest every week of similar matters
about other people, and it is nobody's IS
business but the editors where he gets
his information, and he is only too glad
to get the item to question anybody's
motives who tells him, but takes it for
granted, that the person desires to help
him make up the paper.
One more point. There is. always
room in the paper for news items. On
the other hand, the editor never has any
difficulty in filling up the other columns,
such as editorial and miscellaneous. 1t
is an easy matter to fill up the pages of
any newspaper. 1t is not easy to collect
and print all the local news.
And lastly, to close; it takes more
brains to know what to keep out of a
newspaper than it does to know what
to put in the paper. There are many
things which are really news, which
would be read with avidity by many peo-
pie. that are not printed. Usually such
news is suppressed from the best of mo-
tives on the part Of the publisher. And
the public and theinformants, or cores
pondents in such cases, should UNDER
stand that as rule, the judgment Of the
experienced editor ought to be-better
than that ofinexperienced people, and
that he would be only too glad to print
it-unless he has good reasons for sup
pressing it.

should be necessary-and of course il
will be necessary.
The World also quotes Senator
Clark's friends as declaring that the Mon
tana multi-millionaire and briber would
rather give five hundred thousand dol.
lars than see the electoral vote of his
own state cast for Mckinley.
1t is difficult to realize that so much
money could be spent for such a pur-
pose in so comparatively small a state,
yet those who are best posted about such
matters consider it entirely possible, in
view of what Mr.. Clark has done in SIM
liar directions hitherto. 1t goes without
saying that Clark and his Montana dele.
CATION were not admitted to the Kansas
City Convention without his agreeing to
do something handsome in return; and
Clark has evidently made a beginning,
though perhaps a small one, in doing
handsome thing.
The World, by the way, prints fac
simile of the Clark check for S1OO, 900. so
that its existence would seem to have
been real.
Senator Chandler of New Hampshire
| is we'll remembered for his extraordinary
and successful efforts to keep William A.
Clark out of the senate; and now it is a
commonly accepted fact in New Hamp-
shire that Clark is going to return these
courtesies by spending no end of money,
all that might be required, to defeat Mr..
Chandler for reelection. 1t is doubtful if
this kind of thing will go in New Hamp-
shire, especially if it becomes sufficiently
we'll known that Clark is determined
upon that course. The incident, doubt
less true one, is sufficient to illustrate,
however, that Clark has all kinds of
money to spend, fact long we'll known;
and that he is willing to spend it, and he
is not much more particular about the
locality where his leg is pulled than he is
about the method by which the act is
done.

reference to the Chase divorce fees, in
substance; 1st, what had or has the
county to do with a private divorce case?
End, II il is county business why was not
the county attorney employed?
As to the second question, the county
attorney Every properly said it was
none of his business, and we think every
body will agree with him; but that comes
pretty near being legal opinion to the
effect that it was neither the business Of
the county board. For if it was properly
the business of the board the law makes
him their attorney.
In answer to the first question, the
fact that there were two cases of divorce
does not seem to explain, and omits also
to state who the attorney in the Kain
case was and: whether he also worked
for half price.
The theory advanced that unless the
wife got rid of the husband, she and her
children would have to be supported by
the county is certainly an odd one. In
the Chase case the pair had already
separated by mutual agreement, and
while the sheriff's fees show only forty
five miles travel to personally serve the
summons, yet the husband did not ap-
pear at court, and from our best informa-
nation the agreement for divorce was
mutual
However, if the taxpayers are salts
fed with the explanation, the PIONEER
EXPRESS can stand its share of the ex-
pense with the rest. Always hoping
however, that if these things must be,
that e-conomy-in the legal fees-will
always, as IN this case, bea consideration.

THOSE DIVORCE FEES.

The Pink Paper devotes column to
the explanation of what it terms ''Ward-
wells Divorce" But as Wardwell hasnt's
been divorced and don't expect to be,
we hardly catch on to the proprietry of
the cognomen. However, it goes on to
explain that the chairman of the board
explained in reference to the Chase
divorce. That there swere two cases of
diverse paid for by the county instead Of
one, and in the first case the wife having
constant trouble with her husband, she
told the board if they would assist her in
procuring divorce she would secure
work and support her family, and that
the other and second case ''was similar" {"
That for the second case the county paid
Mr.. conmy s55 which was very cheap as
the usual fee is 300.
That the matter was mentioned to the
Judge (Sauter) who thought the course
pursued the best way out of a heavy
burden of expense.
That the states attorney Every pro-
perly" stated that it was outside the
regular business Of his office and that he
could not attend to it as he was busy
with the work Of the regular term Of
court.
That confirmed invalid was boarded
/ a the expense Of SO month BY the
county, and ~ was given him to pay his
fare to- Seattle where he had relatives.
This ia substance are the reasons
given bys the r. I. for paying the s55 to
M. conmy for services in the Chase
divorce.
