If the editor Of the Ceredo Advance
has been calling us down good and
hard" as we learn through the King
wood Argus, we failed to notice it, and
We generally glance over the Wayne
organ 1t seems that We d~ispleased
the Advance in referring to Mansfield,
Democratic candidate for auditor, as
a backwoodsman, or something of that
kind. Mansfield resides in Wayne
county. We are sorry that we stepped
or the toes Of the editor OF the Ad-
vance, but he ought to expect it, liv-
ing, as he does, in such a Democratic
and God-forsaken section. We notice
that he has been pouting a little since
the Republican State convention, be-
fore which he was a candidate for
State treasurer. If he had remained
in Marion county, in which he was
born, and where we do things-whefe
politicians are made-he might have
Jared better and would not now be
throwing bouquets at Democratic can
3didates. s

THE ARGUS MAN.

"a little sred-whiskered fellow al
Kingwood, who manages by hook and
by crook to get out two pages of4cer-
tain kinds of news once a week takes
exception TO what the West Virginian
says Of two mel of his class. These
wild-eyed, Populistic, B~ryanatic, quasi
Parker fellows are very easily RULED
when you spring a little unlooked-for
truth upon them. Outside Of campaign
years his editor is a pretty decent sort
of fellow though, Notwithstanding his
weaknesses. We struck q very tender
spot n the Argus man SO clearly
recognized the truth Of what we said
that he supplied a term not used by
us. but which he seemed to think
appropriate in his trade DOT ed
tors of "one-horse" country newspa-
pers. Since mention Of the power
has been made, We suggest that the
"one-mule''. variety would be more ap-
D~ropriateffor Democratic papers of the
kind named. What we did say Of Mr.
Mansfield n country papers was that
he is "a w~ell-neaning man, editor of
a country newspaper in the county OF
Wayne. He has not been in touch
with the States great development by
reason Of his environment; conse-
quently he would have a great deal to
learn in trying to be auditor"
Out OF that little paragraph the
Argus gets an idea that we dom think
much OF its candidate or his paper, and
cuts a wonderful shine over it. Now
We throw down a challenge to the Ar
gus ma or any other Obscure editor
of a ''One-mule" country paper to pro-
d,!ce proof that a single statement
made by us is not true. We weighed
our words very carefully and they Will
stand the test. We could devote
space to the Prestonian sheet, but
nothing would be gained by it. AS a
matter OF fact, ii doesn't pay TO handy
words with a man or p without
standing or influence That the Argus
has neither in Preston is evident from
tie fact that. it has been preaching
Democracy for owe thirty years, dur
ing which time the Republican ma
Jority over there has ec1 nor than

The acts of the special session of
the Legislature will come from the
hands of the printer within the next
few days, when certain Democrats
will see that their present industrious
lying is all for naught. All over this
ounty and no doubt elsewhere, they
are grossly misrepresenting what was
done by the Legislature, telling the
farmers especially that the burden OF
taxation will fall mainly upon their
shoulders, and that they will be ruin
ed. Happily, farmers are not fools,
as Democratic politicians take them to
be, it seems, and the former will Don
e that instead of being ruined their
taxes will be less burdensome thar
they ever were before. Indeed, every
tax bill that passed was framed with
a view of benefiting the farmers, and
they Will ere long be praising the work
of the special session.

WHERE THE TROUBLE COMES.
Supporting a "Sealskin Wife, on {
"Muskrat Income"

People celebrate the discovery of a
new fact in nature; they grow elo
quent over the invention of a new
piece of machinery: they heap riches
in the lap of the nan who puts on the
market a new breakfast God. Why
should they not pay some slight trib-
ute to the author"of g new epigram?
\ really great epigram is rarer than
the ruby. n jewel may be crushed,
but the verbal gem lives forever and
defes all the forces of decay. It's
sparkle may V be dimmed.
Il the saying expresses a great truth
CLINT of honleiy hulnor, if its appeal be
broad and general, so may it be de-
cided whether the epigramn1atic offer
ing be genuine or only a clever irnita-
ton.
Apply these standards to the rough
and uncut, yet precious phrase which
lies imbedded in the speech of a plain
Methodist minister from the upstate
counties of New York and Vermont
delivered the other day before the con-
ference of his brethren in his district.
lte vas tSilihS u Tue HAIL "oIN ana
small pay which are the lot of him
self and his fellows in the poorer dis
tricts of the country. And he closed
with this tremendous question::
How shall a man support a seal
skin wife on a muskrat income?"
The episram may provoke a smile
perhaps, but that same question, never
before so well put. has yeXed many
other men in and out of the ministry.
Attempts to answer it hay ended be-
fore now in the pe%nitentiary. 1t is
that question, if authorities are to be
believed, which is responsible for the
increasing number of bachelors, par
t%icularly in the cities, and for the cor
responding increase in the number of
mlddle aged SpinsterS. 1t is a question
which might possibly be probably de-
bated by some of the women's clubs.
Are TOO many girls OF the present
day being reared in a way which fits
them only to be "Sealskin wives?"
And where shall the young man with
a "muskrat income look for a proper
holpmate?
At any rate, the new epigram cuts
deep and raises serious questions, says
the Rutland News. 1t deserves a per-
manen place in the archives of the
English language, alongside that other
classic, but still sparkling, saying
which describes he plight OF the I'm
fortunate youth who acquired "a cham
payne appetite with a beer income.'
1t is its companion piece.

THE FALL GIRL.

\ thousand sing the girl Of spring,
The maid of fluff and laces;
A thousand more their fancies pour
To tell the June brides graces:
The summer girl of smile and curl
Occasions rhvming scrawl,
And now is due a tribute to
The bonny girl of fall
The fall girl,
The tall girl,
In blue or sray or brown;
In tailor-made
She is arrayed,
She's coming back to town.
We celebrate the graduate
Demure in null or challis;
The tennis girl, with skirts awhirl,
Evokes a rhyming rally;
We softly chant the debutante
AT her initial ball;
Where is the muse of him who views
The bonny girl Of fall?
The fall girl,
The small girl,
In blue or gray or brown;
A are delight
liz SlSAl.
She's coming back to town.
From head to fee she's trim and neat;
Her cheeks are full of color
That makes the glow the naples show
Seem dim, and cold, and duller;
Now come the days of smoky haze
And distant winters call
In autumn's blur-hats off to her!
The bonny girl Of fall.
The fall girl.
She's all girl,
In i or gray or brown,
Or any hue
That's swagger new;
She's coming back to town.
