The Old and the New.

That was a very refreshing atmosphere
breathed from an old number of Harper's
Magazine ! found one day in a heap of
paper covered literature in the garrett
The old-fashioned wood engravings were
full of chaste, artistic character and
quality The pictures were not so striking
perhaps as the magazine pictures of to-
day yet fun of dignity and refinement
Then there was also certain quiet reign
ing through the pages that was as strange
as 1t was pleasant, like the remembered
delights of a favorite room or corner Of
ones home after some unusual disturb
ance as of visiting company, or some
shock of disaster has passed away and
things have resumed their normal course.
It was the absence of the sensational
journalistic editing. the straining for
! effectism, "timeliness'' and stars" of
passing notoriety, whether In reputable or
disreputable activity, the strenuous. self
advertising life, the cowboy element come

/ child and prodigal son returned, with the
treasured veal all his own. This wild
western style and taste now in the saddle
In New York, whether in print or in illus
trations, was unknown and unheard OF

| sionally seen, was at the distance OF

not "in our midst" on a daring "hot

audacious representatives in the place OF
prominence and control purchased with
untold wealth at exaggerated prices for
everything The only thing that is bet
ter done in newspaperdom today is the
business management-the multiplication
OF the resources and the increasing OF
the amount Of revenue, the squeezing OF
the last drop OF juice to be expressed
from the cornering of publicity, al
marks OF the transition Of the press from
an influence TO an industry.-[E III

They advanced over the rolling veldt to
the base Of the great hill, which rose
almost sheer before them.
Then began The ascent, Sir John and
Gerald Carthew leading the way, the rest
from so to 100 PAGES behind. 1t was an
awful climb, for the hill, on this side. was
so rocky and precipitous that only mad
men. you mighu have thought, would
have dreamed Of attempting to scale 1t.
Yet up they went, slowly. painfully, reso-
lutely
At length Sir John and Carthew, who
were climbing shoulder TO shoulder, sud
denly found themselves within five yards
Of a couple Of Boer sentries.
Both the general and his aide camp
halted, holding their breath, doubling
whether to rush and stab the sentries. or
to wait until they had separated and re-
sumed their beats. and then to slip past
them through the intervening gap.
TheY could hear distinctly what the two
Beers were saying for Sir John and Car
thew both understood the local Dutch.
Said the one Il am soaked to the skin.
No fear of these rooineks turning out
on such a night as this We may safely
go down now into the lager"
The other replied: Yes; all the rest
have gone into shelter, and why not we?
AS you say, the rooineks will never come
out on a night like this. No fear, either
of their climbing up this wall Of a house,
IL they did. Comet Let us go off and
make ourselves comfortable"
And to the intense relief Of Carthew
at any rate, the two Beers slung their
Mausers across their shoulders and
slouched away in the darkness.
Thus favored by circumstances and the
enemy's lack OF precaution, the attacking
force had it all their own way They put
the big gun out of action, and returned
to camp without the loss Of man.
1t was not until after the siege Of Y.
had been raised and all the Boer posi-
| tions abandoned that Gerald Carthew
| (there being no longer any obligation for

| John Saville.

hadn't kept your word to General q. I'd

GOVERNOR HOKE SMITH.

From the Macon News.
If there is anything left that Hoke Smith
did not carry why he should be given another
tour about the state so that he round up
what little escaped him in the landslide of
yesterday. To use expression we once
heard an old Confederate use in describing
large boundaries, Mr.. Smith seems to have car
ried everything from North OF Boston to South
of He'll" He has over hundred votes to spare
in the convention and parts of Alabama, South
Carolina, North Carolina and Florida on the side,
in case some bad, bold man might try to take
his nomination away from him by log rolling
But seriously speaking the camp aign of Mr..
Smith has been themost strenuous that was ever
carried on in this state. He has met all corners
in debate, appeared before the people of all sec
tons of the state and told them in person of his
aims and ambitions, he has not relied on old
rings and c1iques or new combinations to put
his case with the people, but with his strong
personality and almost irresistible eloquence
has presented his own claims and he seems to
have bestirred that confidence in the minds and
hearts of the people that was necessary for sue
cess.
The election of Mr.. Smith demonstrated
that the people of the state wanted change. 1t
showed that they also believe in the existence of
a stopg railroad ring and railroad discrimination
and want the negro dlsfranchsed. These
p1anks we're the strongest in the Hoke Smith
platform and he delivered his best and strong
est utterances on them.
If democracy is the rule of the people, the
vox popu of state, there no longer be any
doubt about the brand of politics that Mr.. Smith
has been giving forth to the people of the state.
His vote and N jority is entirely too large to be
attributed to his following of populsts and for
mer populists. Judging by the figures available
at this time Hoke seems to have carried both
democratic and popuist parties.
While The News did not subscribe to any
IF Mr. in
is board and generous enough to swallow it's
crow without grimace and pledge its full sup
port and sympathy to an able Georgian, man
who has been stamped pure by the people-the
next governor, Hoke Smith. There is no ne
cessity for anyone to indulge in bushwhacking
for the victory of Mr.. Smith has been too great
to be detracted from by continuation of SLAM
der or ne part of any man or set Of men.
