LOSS IN POPULATION.

Pike seems destined to grow small
er in population each decade unless
some measures are taken to increase
Il. The same fact is true Of several
interior counties where the loss is at
tributed to destruction of the forests
and a consequent moving of inhabi-
tants. The remedy of reforesting
and obtaining fresh timber supply
is even if adopted. very slow. There
seems to be a present tendency, on
account of the low rates of interest,
for capital 10 seek investment in
lands. 1t is claimed that while farm
yields a comparatively small gain
yet on the whole it is more satisfact-
ory and suier than many other forms,
and that this will have a tendency to
cause investors TO seek lands.
The West no long offers the same
inducements as formerly. The land
has lost much of its fertility and must
now be fed as in the East. The large
cattle ranges are broken up and feed
ing must prevail. This more nearly
equaizes the positions of the Eastern
and Western farms with respect to
the cost of production and affords the
smaller farmers here better opportun-
ity to compete. Our lands ale well
adopted to sheep raising which, if
practically pursued, is profitable.
Small fruits can be abundantly pro-
duced, and the dairy business, if a
creamery was accessible, would pay.
No doubt people in every business
must be satisfied with small profits
and only those who caIefullyand intel
ligently manage succeed in making a
profit at all. Good farmers, men who
are sober, steady and competent, are
being sought as superintendents of
farms at good wages. There is field
for young men who will fit them
selves for such situations and it will
become wider each year. There is
in this county and country dearth
of sober, enterplising, industrious
young men who viii rent or manage
farm and work it TO the advantage
of himself and his landlord. For
those who can and will do this there
are many excellent opportunities.

The Editor and Preacher.

The press and the pulpit have more
charity than all the balance of the
community, and the fact is amply il
lustrated by an exchange as follows:
A preacher one said: "Editors
dare not tell the truth. If you did
you could not live. Your new spaper
would be a failure"
The editor replied: "You are
right, and the minister who will at
all times tell the truth about his
members, alive or dead, will not oc-
cupy the pulpit more than one Sun
day, and he will find it necessary to
leave town in a hurry. The press
and the pulpit go hand in hand with
whitewash brush and kind words,
magnifying little virtues in big ones.
The pulpit saint making triumvir-
ate"
And the minister went away, look
ing very thoughtful, while the edi-
tor turned to his work, telling about
the unsurpassed beauty of the bride,
while in fact she was as ugly as a
mud fence.

The bridal party marched into the

President Mckinley and Secretary
Hay added another to the several
diplomatic triumphs they have scored
for the u. S. in connection with the
Chinese troubles when they took the
initiative in breaking the deadlock
Into which the foreign ministers at
Pekin have gotten themselves, by
suggesting to the other powers that
the negotiations be taken ont of the
hands of the foreign ministers and
that an international commission be
assembled outside of China, prefer.
ably Mt The Hague, for the purpose
OF agreeing upon the demands that
the powers shall make upon China
Favorable replies have already been
received from several of the powers
and it is considered probable that
the suggestion will be acted upon.
II is not the idea of the President
that there should be any negotia-
tions with China at all, but that the
international Commission shall de-
termine what demands it would be
fair and reasonable to make upon
China, and that China shall then be
notified to comply with them. He
believes that something between the
punishment of the Chinese govern
ment wishes co administer to those
who instigated the Boxer troubles
and the wholesale beheading o.
prominent men demanded by some
of the powers will be about right
and that the money indemnity shal
be fixed at a figure that China car
pay, rather than at the impossible
mount named by Germany.

We are Growing.

We are pleased to note the addi-
ton of new names to our subscrip-
ton list. This shows appreciation
of our effort to make the PRESS an
interesting newsy paper and is an
incentive on our part to strive for
still higher standard. If you like
the paper speak to your friends
about it and invite them also to be-
come subscribers and to the end that
it may have more interest as a medi-
um of discriminating county news
we cordially ask that communica-
tions concerning local happenings,
matters of personal interest, religi-
GUS and educational notes and letters
regarding topics which inform, be
sent in. We will be glad to receive
and publish them. If a teacher
hears particularly good compost
ton read in school its publication
may be great incentive to other
bright pupils to emulate it. There
is nothing like healthy rivalry in
such matters and publicity will af-
ford an opportunity for patrons and
fathers and mothers to judge of the
attachments of those whose welfare
and progress they have most at
heart. Give us your aid in this way
it will be duly appreciated by the
public and you will have the con-
sciousness likewise Of adding your
mite to that store of knowledge
which civiiizes, ,ennobles and enlight-
ems the world.

THE WASHINGTON LETTER.

(From Our Regular Correspondence
WASHINGTON. d. c., Nov. 26, 1900.
Senator's Allison, Hanna, Spooner,
Hale, Mcmillan, Elkins, ana Wolcott
each a man of wide experience in
both business and politics, compose
the steering committee that will ar
range and direct the Republican leg
islative programme in the Senate,
which must be arranged with more
care than that for the House, where
an order from the committee on
rules can, at any time, limit the de-
bate and set a time for voting on a
measure. With such pilots in
charge, there is no probability
hardly a possibility-that any mis-
takes will be made in the Senate
end at this session of Congress. The
Nicaragua canal bill, which passed
the House at the last session is al
ready provided for, the Senate hav-
ing agreed that it should be taken
up, Dec. 10 and given the right of
way until disposed of. Which of
the more important bills will follow
will be decided by the steering com
mittee, but the decision will depend
to an extent upon which gets
through the House first. Although
the shipping bill is already upon the
Senate calendar, and the several
propositions for an army reorgani-
zation bill were carefully gone over
by the Senate Military committee at
the last session, it is likely that the
House will be given an opportunity
to pass both before they are brought
before the Senate.

THE LOCAL PAPER.

The local paper of any neighbor-
hood is the one which contains the
news about the people of that neigh
borhood or city, The persons and
places mentioned there are familiar
to its readers. They are of interest
to these readers in a way that the
contents of no other newspaper is. It
deals with known subjects and per-
sons. There is feeling Of owner
ship, relationship, if you please,
that magnifies the interest in all that
the publication contains. The local
paper is the paper of the family. 1t
is read by father, mother, the girls
and by the boys. When the boys
and girls leave the old homestead and
new homes are formed, the local pap
er is one of the first things secured
for the comfort of the new abude.
We often sing "How Dear to Ny
Heart Are the Scenes of My Child
hood" and we add with very good
grace and much truth, elbow dear
to my heart is the newspaper of my
childhood" The ambitious boy who
finds home and fieldof labor in the
big city will read with emotion the
old home town. 1t turns back the
scroll of years and opens the pages OF
his early life again. 1t brings, as no
other publication can, the memories
of the days gone by, the faces long
forgotten and the little postoffice on
the corner. Few publishers of these
local papers in the smaller towns real
ize to what extent they influence the
town and neighborhood in which
they are located. And fewer still ev.
er guess what they might do if they
would try their best. Ii the publish
ers of the country newspapers would
make as good paper as they coult
there would be no other medium
needed to reach the entire rural anC
suburban population. AS it is they
are good, but just a little care il
makeup, write-up and dress-up wouIC
add greatly to the value of some o
the so-called country newspapers

Representatives Payne, Dalzell
and Hopkins, acting as a sub-com-
mittee of the House Ways and
Means Committee, have completed
the first daft of a bill to reduce the
internal revenue taxation. The bill
will not be made public until ap.
proved by the committee, and possi-
bly, not until it is reported by the
House, which which will be during
the first week of the session, but it
is practically known that it deals al
most exclusively with the stamp
taxes which have proven a source
of worry and inconvenience, al
though cheerfully paid by the public
because it was known that the mon
ey was needed by the government,
and that it does not touch the tax on
beer or any kind of tobacco. The
beer and tobacco interests have al
ready begun to howl, but the COM
mittee will probably stand by the
work of the subcommittee. In ac-
cordauce with the advice of Secre-
tary Gage, the aggregate reductions
made by the bill, will be inside of
$50, 900, 900 a year.

Long Words.

The longest word in the English
language is said to be "nonintercom-
municability." Here is a sentence
from a recent biograph: "But the
free kirk of the north of Scotland are
strong anti-disestablishmentarians." I"
Shakespeare, who is always ahead,
puts the word Notwithstanding
tatibus in the mouth of Costard in
Loves Labour's Lost act V, scene L.
The other words have % and 26 let
tiers respectively while the latter has
81, whatever it may mean.
