We Know Them.
Wilmine eton Messenger.

The woods are full of them. They
are to be found in every town and
city, and village where there is a
newspaper printed Their chief loaf
ing place is the newspaper office.
They drop in on the editor and busi
ness manager at hours seasonable
and unreasonable. They generally
come in to have Il grievance OF their
own aired through the columns of
the paper. They insist on instruct
ing the newspaper men how to con-
duct the paper. They want the pa
per made ''more spicy" why don't
you put more life in your paper?"
they ask. And when the editor comes
to sift the matter he will find that
they want him to pitch into some
body, generally a public official,
about a matter i'll which the public
has no interest and which concerns
no one except themselves. And
when the editor tells them that it is
none of his fight; that if they want a
public grievance corrected to go in
person to the proper authorities they
get mad and declare the editor has
no back bone and threaten to get up
a Joint stock company for the pur-
pose OF starting paper which will
'1OOk after the interests of the peo-
pie If the editor is foolish enough
to take up the fight OF such a man,
thinking he is acting for the good Of
Of the public he is very apt to find
that he has allowed himself to be
made a tool OF and has been left with
the bag to hold, while the men who
got him in the scrape are either dis
playing a remarkable degree of indif-
ference to the welfare of the "dear
people," Or have Joined sides with
the parties they wished roasted in
the press and are criticising the edi-
tor for his hasty remarks. The
Tirginian-PiIOt we'll describes such a
man in the following:
'In good truth the man who al
ways wants the newspapers to take
up some row with which he has snOth-
ing to do is one of the funniest crit
ters that ambles down the pike. News
papers know this type. He is con-
tinually insisting that the newspaper
sack somebody. He wants to hear
the rat-tat of column rules upon the
Stats OF some foe of the dear public
But when it comes to toeing the
scratch and putting up fight him
self, you will in nine cases out OF ten,
have to cultivate the underbrush
with a fne-tooth comb or assault a
hollow log to find him. But if news
paper will just put up scrap he will
stand around with his eyes protrud-
ing like a sandfiddler's and you can
bet that none of the fun will get by
him -

The Charlottesville Progress grows
justly indignant:
''The negro plank in the Republi-
can platform and the nominating
speeches by negroes in the Republi-
can convention, ought to have been
all that was needed to hold the ne
gro votes in the doubtful states,
without placing negro boy between
to white girls, as color bearers on
the cheering line, at Chicago.
''If the Democrats are wise, they
will declare, in unequivocal terms
that this is "a white mans govern
ment,' and the Democratic party
stands for the white man as against
any other race, and for civilization
that recognizes the superiority of the
founders and defenders of the repub-
lie over the black, yellow, brown or
any other race. :.
'If the incident at Chicago does
not mean an approval of miscegen-
ation-of a mixture, Oh the plane of
perfect equality, of the races-it has
no significance. If it was necessary
to give a pantomime exhibition,
showing the political equality of the
blacks and the whites, the Republi-
can stage managers could just as
easily had an allmale caste, without
representing the disgusting spectacle
of two little white girls acting as
maids of honor to a negro boy"
That is your Republicanpart and
that is your Roosevelt. 1t is nigger
everywhere and nigger all the time.
Neither Mr. Roosevelt nor his party
stands fer white civilization or the
things that white civilization stands
for. This Infamous incident at Chica-
go-this unspeakable affront to the
whites of the country-should not be
lightly passed over and forgotten.
Southern Republicans OF the decent
sort are. of course, ashamed OF it.
But Southern Republicans have
nothing to do with shaping the poll
cies of the national party.

"As a proof of Japan's liberal ideas
it is stated that Christian chaplains
are permitted to accompany the Jap
anese regiments. At the opening of
the war it was inferred that as only
the Buddhist and Shinto churches
had an officially acknowledged status
only chaplains from those churches
would be admitted. But Japan was
above expectations as she usually is. y
Greensboro Telegram.
And this is Pagan Japan. Do you
suppose any other chaplains except
those of the Greek church are allowed
to accompany the armies of Chris
tian Russia? Hardly. Still we are
told by newspapers of this country
that we should side with the Russians
in this contest, because it is war OF
Christianity against Paganism.

Tariff and Trusts.

kalelgn lines.
The fear of some business men is
that there will be an attempt by the
Democrats to interfere with the pres
ent tariff schedules, and in this way
interfere with the success of business.
There is no doubt but the opposi-
ton to protective tariff has been
greatly modified in the South in the
last ten years. This has been the re-
suit of the growth in manufacturing
in this section. Tariff and manufac-
turing are thought to go hand in
hand and dependent on each other,
but really the South has not benefit
ed in any direct way from this source,
for the reason the class of goods
made by the Southern mills have
not, to any extent been protected.
The popular issue for the Democrats
to make in the coming campaign is
the removal of the tariff on all trust
made goods. This is all that need
to be done.

Political Porch Parties.
Indianapolis Star.

Judge Parker will follow the Nc
kinley porch policy and receive po-
litical delegations at his Esopus resi-
dence. General Harrison followed
that policy for short time after his
first nomination, but after the palings
had all been removed from his fence
by the visitors as souvenirs and all
the lower branches broken from the
shade trees, another place for the re-
ception was provided for him by
party friends. Judge Parker has no
fence around his front yard, but he
can count on having to renovate his
porch and resod his yard when the
campaign is over. Delegations are
friendly but they are destructive

The Republicans do not expect to
get any votes in the electoral college
from the Southern States, but it is
said they do expect to be able to
gain some members of Congress from
this section. The probability that
New York, New Jersey, Connecticut
and Rhode Island will give their cleo
toral votes to Parker, makes it prob
able also that the Republicans will
lose several representative in Con-
gress from those States also. These
losses will have to be recouped from
some quarter, and the South is now
being carefully inspected by the lead
ers OF the Republicans with a view to
finding some states wherein there
are chances Of replacing Democratic
representatives with Republican, But
it is likely to prove d fruitless search.

1t is a nice campaign story-this
that the beef trust brought on the
strike in revenge for the act OF the
Roosevelt administration in getting
out an Injunction against the combi-
nations. The alleged purpose of the
trust is to have the people squeezed
SO hard that they will rise up in a
body and vote down the President
But as the injunction has SO far not
been of the slightest effect in destroy
ing the dressed beef monopoly, the
story evidently needs to be called in
for repairs. For how can the beef
trust be harboring feelings of revenge
when it has not been hurt?

BILIOUSNESS IS DANGEROUS.

When the bile is not flowing freely into the
bowels, it is taken up by the blood and is
deposited in all parts OF the body. Every
important organ, in fact every tissue of the
body even the skin layers, are affected by the
poison ladened bile. 1t saps the energy, dulls
the brain, weakens the lungs and kidneys
and invites disease germs. 1t affects the
heart, stomach and bowels, causing marked
functional disturbances that may result in
disease. A bilious or iaundiced condition OF
the system is very dangerous and should
be corrected atonce. RYDALES LIVER

Monday. 1t began about the first of
May and has elected great deal of
interest from our people. This always
enterprislng firm offered three free
trips to the Worlds Fair. The trips
included all expenses for seven days
and every purchaser of dollar worth
was entitled to vote for three people.
The trips were to go. one as a teacher
in the city schools. another tc local
minister of the gosepl, and another
any lady at large. When the con.
test closed Monday evening it was
found that Miss Addie Simns Bennett
the popular teacher. had received the
highest number of votes of any of the
contestants. She received Z, 900 votes
and consequently gets one TO the trips.
Miss Fletcher FaIIss, money order
clerk at the postoffice. who is one of
our best known and most, popular
young ladies, won the trip given to
the lady at large. and Rev. Allison
MollOy, pastor of the South Columbia
Methodist church, gets the trip offered
to the minister. 1t was a condition
OF the contest that the winners may
take the trip at any time that suits
them best. Miss Fariss' will leave
about Sept. LIST. and while in St.
Louis, will attend as a state delegate
the National Association of Postoffice
Clerks, which meets there from Sept.
9th to 10th. Miss Bennett will pIoba-
