POINTED AND PERTINENT.
Straight Talk About the Lee Statue
Business.

The 'fNew Republican" writer in
the Journal has at last shown his
hand. Likewise his handle, since he
signs his name to his last article and
defends his position in a mastery
manner. We had a suspicion all
along that it was Mr.. o. i. Morton
and we knew that the writer of the
articles was an old hand at the bust
ness. The way he calls down the
narrow-minded, ignorant and pre-
JUDGED old fossils who are still
fighting the war over again and inn
agine they have to do it to earn
their mon.y, because they are draw
ing more pay from the Government
now than that they did when they
we're up against the real thing, ought
to be caution, but while word to
the wise is said to be sufficient, a
fool has to be hit with brick, and
damned fool has to have a whole
brick-house fall on him before he
can be squelched. The whole trou-
BILE is over the proposed placing of
Lees statue in the Capitol at Wash
ington, by the State of Virginia.
A few old fre-eaters of the c.. A. r.
who still remember the lickings they
got from Lee and the running they
had to do to get out of his way are
just now catching their second wind,
and as the war is over and Lee dead,
they are'very bold and have grown
fat and sassy on the Government
pap they are sucking, and talk of
marching on to Washington to de-
molish the statue, If it should be
placed there. While it is true, they
ought to do something to earn the
money they are drawing from the
Government, they might better be
engaged corraliing and guarding the
horde of ignorant and vicious
negroes they turned loose on the
South to rape and murder the love-
ly daughters of our fair Southland.
Mr.. Morton is Maine Yankee,
and better Republican than some
OF his critics, but at the same time,
he belongs to the present day and
generation. and is not forty years
behind the times, like some OF the
Journal correspondents who still
stand just where they did at the
close Of the war and have not adj
vanced a step in the higher and
better civilization, and broader and
more liberal public sentiment of the
period. The general sentiment of
the day is against the bloody
shirt business and dead issues that
were buried nearly half century
ago, and it is time these old ante
diluvian relics were finding it out.

The papers tell of another duel
between great men. II seems that
John Alexander Dowie the owner
and operator of Zion City one of
the many suburbs of Chicago, has
been challenged to a duel to the
death by Mira Ghulam Ahmad of
Zuadin, Pun Jab India, who claims
to be the Messiah and says he will
pray Dowie to death to settle the
question. We hope arrangements
canebe made for this duel and SO far
as We are concerned, we are willing
for it to be duel to the death on
both sides.

The Fourth of July passed off
very quietly in this county and we
have heard of no serious out breaks
of any kind. No riots or fights to
amount to anything. No one pull
ed the tail feathers out of the
American eagle or nailed the stars
and stripes to the north pole or
waived old glory in the face of
Jupiter and shook his fist at Mars.
In fact the old time hallelujah
thine to glory, Big and only July
Fourth seems to be out of date and
thing of the past.

The Journal recently gave the
Nestor's a column of free advertis-
ing in regard to their piano and
organ business In this county and
some trouble they have had. The
gentlemen were out of the county
at the time and have been over in
Randolph and Barbour looking
after their interest there. They
returned here few days ago and
their attention was called to the
onslaught of the Journal and they
are celebrating over the matter,
whether to bring suit for libel and
damages or reply in like manner to
the Journal article, OF treat IL with
dignifed contempt. However it is
likely that there will be something
doing" by another week.

Senator Steward, who is a staunch
Republican, makes the dircful pre-
diction that there is a serious panic
but short way ahead for the Uni
ted Statet, panic which the Aid
rich bill might postpone but could
not avert The Senator moreover
expresses the belief that if the AID
rich bill is passed 1t will but furnish
little more currency with which to
raise still higher the dam which is
now holding back great quantities
Of watered stock and which he
likens 70 the Johnstown dam, likely
TO break loose aud food the country
at any minute. The Cannon policy
Of no financial legislation might,
says Mr.. Stewart, prove the means
OF letting the water out Of stock
gradually and might result in less
serious panic than must follow n
the Aldridh expedient is adopted.

THOSE FAKE DISPATCHES.

The Turk is as noted for his treachery
as have become the Balkan dispatches,
with which the world has recently been
supplied, for their inaccuracy. Today
We hear that AdrianopIe is burning
while tomorrow comes the startling in
formation that Ferid Pasha has carried
the whole of Bulgaria off and hidden
it In a dark corner. Then the man at
the other end of the wire makes it hot,
to the effect that eighty-five towns
have been RACED and the inhabitants
inhumanly put to death. Next, all for
mer news" Is called off and a new
report Matched to keep the world
guessing. The only authentic dispatch
yet received which has any reasonable
foundation on fact and which needs no
alibi is, that: "Ibahim Pasha Is march
ing on the insurgents at the head Of
100000 Douglas Patent Closets"
