Editing a Newspaper.

Editing a newspaper is a nice thing.
If we publish jokes people say we are
rattle-brained. If we don't we are an
old fossil. If we publish original
matter, they say we don't give them
enough selections. If we give them
selections, they say we are too lazy to
write. If we don't go to church, we
are heather; if we do, we are a
hypocrite. If we remain in the Office,
we ought to go out and hustle for
locals. If we go out, we are not at
tending to business. If we wear old
clothes, they laugh at us. If we wear
good clothes, they say we have pull.
Now what are we to do? Just as likely
some one will say we stole this item

union. A union has no more right
to do this than a masonic lodge has
the right to hale non-member be-
fore it for trial.
All creative capitalists should be
in a Union and every union man
ought to endeavor to bring this
about if all workers were organized
they could run the world, but he
has no right to use force; persuasion
is the means he can rightfully en-
ploy. During a contest or strike a
union has no right to destroy the
capital of non-creative capitalist
by overt action. In a word, the
actions of union should be regu-
lated by the public which is joint
possessor with the Union in it's
capital, by law, and such law should
be strictly enforced and violations
vigorously punished.
Capitalists possessing non
creative capital also have the right
to combine. If they are up-to date,
they do. Such a combination is a
corporation or trust, but the public
right of regulation should be even
more zealously exercised in this
case than the other because the
membership is more limited, and
the less the number of members in
an organization the more vigorously
it resents the public right of con-
troll. There is nothing so sense
less as a strike. 1t always costs
the strikers more than they gain in
the way of concessions even if they
win. 1t costs the employers more
than they gain if they win and it
costs the public more than both
combined no matter who wins. A
strike is worse than senseless. 1t
is a crime because it causes suffer
ing and death. As a rule employers
lose during strike but they do
not suffer, and their wives and
children do not shiver with cold or
faint from hunger as do the
families of the workers and the
children of poverty in every part
of the country during every great
strike.

DOES THIS NEGRO SPEAK THE
 4, ~- TRUTH

If Messrs. Scott and Thompson, the Republican referees of the President, know anything about the duties of United States Marshals. they must know that there are' not now any ex- elusive field deputies. Any deputy is subject to field duty and to arresting of people and serving of process. This being so, the people of Alabama would like to know if the Eufaula negro. Murphy. is speaking by the card. when he says he can obtain their endorse ment for a position in the office of Marshal Bryan in this city. This Is very serious matter and one about which all the people of the State have the right to feel deeply. They have never yef had the experience of ne- gro marshal serving papers and arrest ing people. Are white men. born and reared in Alabama, like Messrs. Thomp- son and Scott. prepared to go to the extreme of being responsible for such an outrage and indignity upon the white people of Alabama?. They may curry favor with a Republican admin istration by thus turning their backs upon the white people of their State, but they will never recover from the feeling of indignation with which they will be overwhelmed.

THE NAME. EsOPus.

The Montgomery Advertiser says that there IS a river in Asia Minor % in any book of reference we can reach. but take 1t for granted that The Ad. vertiser is sure of its facts. A third suggestion, which appears as far 'Tsopus" comes from the low Dutch ''soper." meaning in our language "toper.' The Dutch in the early days sold much liquor to the Indians in the many of the redskins. as well as the Dutchmen. became ''besoppen," or tipsy Norfolk Landmark.
 The Advertiser is only sure of its facts" as they are given in the books. The country of Pontus was one of the divisions of Asia Minor lying south of and bordering on Euxinus Pontus, or the Euxine Sea. The Esopus was a small river of Pontus. mentioned by strabo, but we believe 1t is not now to be found on modern maps. At any rate, there was such river, and we thought the New York town might have derived its name from that stream, but the consensus of opinion now seems to be that the name is of Indian origin. as are thousands of other names in the United States. At the same time. so many of our streams and localities de- rive their titles from Old World names that we still see nothing impropable in assuming that the New York town may have gotten its name from the stream mentioned by Strabo.
 As to that other derivation of which The Landmark speaks. 1t should know that the idea originated in the fertile brain of a Republican, who thus seeks to bring ridicule on the home town of the Democratic candidate and next President. It is only surprising that they did not find a still less creditable root upon which to build a name. But, whatever may be the origin of the name, it cannot cast any discredit on the man who Is now making 1t famous, or prevent the people from making him President.

Potatoes and Peaches,

ftlTmlngnam Ledger.
 The Talladega Reporter advises the people in that rich valley to make the sweet potato the competitor of the Elberta peach. In reality there is no rivalry between the peach and the DO. tato. One grows in the ground and the other in the trees They are not ready at the same time and do not conflict in gathering or marketing. Both pay very handsomely for the little work required to raise and market them.
 Old Talladega people remember that Newt Hughson on the poorest land in the county made a good living by all ways having a big sweet potato crop. Massengale Porter always did make money on poor land because he never planted cotton. Nobody ever made much money on peaches in that county though there is a very wide range from the rich red lands of the valley to the light soil on the mountain sides. Tal- ladega Is like many of our counties where 1t is so easy for a man to make living that he despises small things. But potatoes and peaches are two sub stantial sources of profits on those farms where the farmer does his own work. With such a variety of soil and elevation Talladega County has vast possibilities, that will be develoned when her white men are willing to give their personal attention to the small things now neglected all through the South.

A Georgia Opinion of Watson.

 Nobody down in Georgia, except here and there some extremist or some Init crate. puts any credence in what Tom Watson says In his denunciations of the Democratic Party, or regards him as entitled to any respect as a politician" !" said MT, J E, Bayne of Savannah, at the Shoreham.
 When Watson was in Congress from our State he made for himself no rep utation Tor being man of level head of solid qualities. He was, on the oth- CT hand, forever given to declarations of the most radical character. He even compared unfavorably with such men as Jerry Simpson of Kansas, or Lafe Pence of Colorado-two of the bright est stars in the Populistic Armament Watson was long ago cast out and re- pudiated by his own countrymen, and in Georgia he couldn't today be elected Justice of the Peace. That he should now be assailing Judge Parker Is in line with his cratic temperament and wayward career, but so used are our people to his vagaries that this new outbreak excites no wonder. It only deepcns the widespread distrust that Georgians generally entertain for him"

srIcKING TIT TO THEM.

In The Atlanta News of Saturday evening there appeared under glarins headlines an article of local news of which this contains the gist:
 As an aftermath to the recent cru sade by the Board of Police Commits sioners on gamblers in Atlanta, six men this morning appeared before Judge A E. Calhoun of the City Criminal Court entered pleas of guilty, and were fined an aggregate of $1,100 and twelve months in the chaingang. the latter sentence being suspended to be en- forced the next time the men are cap tured.
 Is it possible that these green-cloth artists slipped Into Atlanta while The Constitution wasn't looking? Have they been carrying on their nefarious business under the very nose of our es- teemed contemporary while 1t was loudly proclaiming that there is no gambling or gamblers In the city? That would be to take a mean advantage of a watchful paper. to say nothing of the discredit of having it narrated to the world at large that the gamblers were having high jinks in the old town
