ALL ARE EDITORS.

The preacher may preach and his
sermon may be good, bad or indiffer-
ent, but no one will propose to go
into the pulpit and take his
place. The lawyer may make a
good, bad or Indifferent argument in
the presentation of the case of his
client and he may fail, but no one
will say that he knows more in one
minute about the law than the lawyer
is capable of learning in life time.
The physician may give the patient
this or that medicine and the patient
may live OF die, but no one is willing
to swear that he knows more
about medicine and the human
system than the physician. But the
editor who has been in the business
for perhaps quarter of a century can
find plenty men who are willing to
swear that they can edit two papers
to his one and give entire satisfaction
to ever reader-those who pay for the
paper and those who borrow it. Edit
ing a newspaper. it appears to some
people, requires no thought, no study,
no energy, no experience, no knowl-
edge of human nature, but simply
gall, gas and gush and railroad pass.
If the bodies of some men were cut
in two one part and nearly all the
other would be nothing but gall and
gas with pressure of ten thousand
pounds to the square inch of growls
and grunts. Human nature is an open
book that is studied more thoroughly
by the newspaper man than any other
book, for it is always open before his
eyes and automatically the pages are
turned for his personal use.

A NECESSITY.

A newspaper is just about as neces-
sary as to the growth of town as a
bank, store, factroy, or any other
enterprise, as the town without the
newspaper seldom gets the others, and
in the natural course of events it
usually comes ahead of them all, says
the Lowell News Letter. The news
paper is usually first, and then turns
in and helps to bring in the banks and
other improvements. Therefore the
newspaper is deserving of patronage
and loyal support as the other con-
Germs, but in the average town it does
not receive it. A printing office is al
ways under heavy expense, and the
better the paper issued the heavier
the expense, and the better must be
the support if the paper proves q sue
cess. There are those who do not take

NO LAWS SUGGESTED.

Just what laws will be enacted by
the next legislature seems to have been
lost sight of in the scramble for
office. The question up for discussion
ia who will be elected governor and
who will be United States sentaor
There seems to be no other issue except
kind of makeshfit now being agi-
tated by each candidate for governor.
The division of the public school
funds in accordance with the amounts
paid in by the white and the colored
people is Mr.. Vardaman's hobby, but
when it is understood that the next
legislature will have nothing to do
with that question it cannot become
a question of much Importance. Judge
Critz wants the next legislature to
adopt q uniform textbook system, and
if the legislature will pass such an

There is one thing very certai

There is one thing very certain,
and that is that the republican party
would rather see any one else the dem
ocratic nominee for president than
Grover Cleveland. 1t fears him more
than any other man in the democratic
party, and were it not for the fact
that Mr. Bryan has lost the most Of
his political influence and that he is
such bowling free silverite, which
fallacy is opposed alike by both of the
national parties. he could be engaged
to oppose Mr. Cleveland in the race.
He may do so anyway by form
ing free silver populite party of his
own.

FACTS AND EVIDENCES.

The Yazoo Sentinel says it has
facts in its possession to support the
assertion that Judge Critz has man
of Yazoo county in his employ or pay
who is whooping up things for the
Judge. If the Sentinel has these facts
out with them. 1t is true facts in
o political campaign are very scarce
and must be dished out sparingly, but
the Sentinel might spare few. But
perhaps the Sentinel is waiting for
some one to mug it in the side to re-
mind it that sometimes facts must be
accompanied by evidences. 1t reminds
one of the story of the fellow who
was in the habit of telling some facts
that looked a little unreasonable
until some one rugged him in the side
to remind him that an explanation
was needed to go along with the facts
or rather statements. He was telling
to crowd one day of very large
church he had seen.
Il tell you the fact, gentlemen, y
he said, raising his hand like snide
of lawyer in a railroad damage
suit, THAT church was three hundred
yards long.
A friend standing near who had a
high respect for his family connections
nugged him in the side, when he adj
ded: "But it was only three feet
wide.

DAILY PUZZLE:

While the Progress has the very
highest esteem for Hon. E. F. Noel
and believes he would make fine ex-
ecutive, between the two Judge Critz
seems to be the favorite in this sec
ton for the position and there is but
little doubt the latter will carry Perry
county. Judge Critz is personally
better known and he has more workers
here than Mr.. Noel. That does not
make the judge better man, but it
makes his chances better.

Mr.. Bryan says that he will rally
his forces and make another effort to
capture the democratic nomination for
the president, not for himself, but for
some one whom he may name, and
that free silver will again be the
issue. If the free silver platform
will in the least be considered in the
next convention it will be surprise to
the whole country, even to some of
the former supporters of Mr.. Bryan.
There is not prominent and infuen-
tial man or newspaper in the country
so far heard from that in the least is
favorable to a re-opening of the ques-
tion, while on the other hand nearly
all of them are advising Mr.. Bryan to
drop it and take up some issue in
which the people are more interested
and which will be of greater benefit
to the country and the democratic
party.

One Man Farm Idea.

The department Of agriculture Is
d,yo,Hg notable attention nova
days 10 the cultivation Of the one
tnan farm in the south with a view
to demonstrating what can be accom-.
plishcd by scientific methods. Secre-
tary Wilson wants to contest the
nolhing g-but cotton furrOw in which
doc many unprogrcssiye farmers have
walked and watched mules hind
legs Toe immemoral seasons. The
idea Of diyersifcation has been large.
~ accelerated by the mischief Of the
boil wccvil and the inevitable con
ciusion that the only way to escape
havoc of all remuneratiye returns
in to vary the crop and flank the vo.
racious enemy Of the staple Agents Of
the department have been visiting
the wceyil.infected plantations and
advising the farmers the best way
out Of their dincultties
Thus 1t is hoped that much can be
achieved towards the diyerslhcation
of Southern farm products in the
cotton belt menaccd as II always will
b. by deadly blight. The agricul-
fural experts have also gone into the
comparatively dry regions OF the
south where the rain fall is only
about fifteen or sixteen inches a
year 10 demonstrate the possibility Of
what Is called dry farming"
Another recent feature OF the de
p,rtmeut work in the South Is instruc.
ton In the raising Of the drug crops.
THIS country imports every year
s. OOr 900 Of 100000 900 worth Of vege-
table products that enter into drug
compounds. including such products
az hparhopnd peppermint and poppy
Certain parts OF the south are well
adapted TO growing these plants
aud the department will give special
attention to the subject. pointing out
handsome profits to be made from
their cultivation.
In many instances the special work
Of the department Is facilitated by pri-
vate contributions from persons in.
terested in the development Of the
South There are four or FIVE large
capitalists who are following the work
with great interest and who have fur
nished most of the funds for lectures
ON the possibilities Of producing good
crops with the mule and one man to
the farm

Things One Cannot Afford to Hiss

The July McClure's surpasses
itself. Good stories at this season
of the year are the prime requisites,
and OF these there is an abundant
and varied supply. o. Henry's
The Fourth in Salvador" is a
seasonable and delectable bur
lesque, telling how FIVE home-sick
Americans, aided by an English
man who joined them ''for the pure
JOY Cf blooming row." initiated
the Salvadoreaus into the glories
OF the national holiday. Judy" "
by M. G. Simpson, is quaint and
homely love story ol two Irish lads
and an Irish lass; and "A Bird :
Dye View of Heaven" by Philip
Verrill Mighles, is a rollicking bill
of love making of the true American
sort. In the Matter of the Ms.
sion," by Bayard WELLER, is a piece
of fiction altogether out OF the ordi.
nary-thc story of Presbyterian
mission founded by an old Jew, a
convert to Dhris ianity. Dutch
Courage, by John Mllton Stoddard
