LITTLE MUDDY.

Muddy attracted the rain last
Friday night and Saturday.
Corn harvesting is now in order.
Some farmers use the patented ma
chimes, while others cling to the old
arm strong reaper, for you are
aware that everybody does not see
everything the same way at the
same time.
One of Muddy's thriving and in
dustrious young farmers says he
likes to see items in The Press from
his quarter, but he would like TO be
remembered occasionally. Alex is
right. l believe in treating every.
body alike.
James Fl. Statler, one of Muddy's
representatives, was at the capital
last week, serving on the petit jury.

do much harm when in the hands
of sensational eGilor who is actu
ated more by II desire to attract at
ten,ion TO his paper than TO benefit
and correctly inform bis readers.
Sensational news is bad enough, but
sen ,a,ional editorials are much
worse. There are editors who seem
10 think of no other way in which
they can build themselves up and
attract attention than of trying to
tear down and injare the reputation
of better men. An editor in Kansas
CITY is endeavoring to make him
self famous bv attacks on Governor
Dockery and Excise Commissioner
Seihert. He does not charge them
with anything criminal, but deals 10
innuendoes and insiBuations. de
may be infamous, but is not likely
10 ever be famous for anything
good. Newspaper rivalry and an
attempt TO get ahead of some other
in the city sometimes leads an edit
or TO 40 some foolish things. Prob
ably this is what caused the Post
Dispatch to make its sllly and un.
fair attack on the State Board OF
EQUALIZATION. At any rate II has
gotten itself into a rather contempt
ible hole. 1t charged the board
with favoring the railroads and
street railways at the expense OF
other taxpayers, asserting that the
street railway property is assessed
at only 33 per cert of its true value
while other st. Louis property 's
assessed at 70 per cent. The per-
sistency with which said paper has
reiterated and revamped its charge
indicates that it expects some big
profit from 1t. But now comes the
Jefferson City Tribune and shows
that the Post Dispatch plant IS cap
italized at $l,000,000 and that the
stock is at par but the concern is as
sessed at only $4,000, Also, that
while the ST. Louis street railways
we're only assessed by local authori
ties at $5,0OO000, they are now as
sessed at $l6,5O0,O0U.

FUTURE OF c. NJ. HAYS.
Us Expected to Retain the Southern
Pacific Presidency.


NEW YORK, Feb. S.-The Commercial
Advertiser says: President Charles H
Hays, of the Southern Pacific railroad,
is expected to reach New York tomor-
row. He was summoned from San Fran
cisco for the purpose of comforting with
Mr.. Harrison and President Burt, of the
Union Pacific. 1t is generally believed
that Mr.. Hays will be asked to retain the
presidency of the Southern Pacific.
With regard to the recent rumors that
IL. E. Huntington did not sell his stock
to the Hartman syndicate, 1t may be
stated that all of the Huntington hold
ings, as well as those controlled by
Speyer & Co., were sold on equal terms.
The Commercial Advertiser also has the
following:
President Galloway was asked today if
there was any truth in the current re-
ports that the New York Central will
be combined with the Union Pacific and
the Southern Pacific in forming a through
line from ocean to ocean.
Not a word of truth in it," he said
The New York Central lines now eX-
tend as far West as Chicago and ST
Louis, and the system is sufficiently large
