EDITOR JOHNSTON
INDICTED

The grand jury OF Greenbricr
County has indicted Albert Sidney
Johnston Editor of the Monroe
Watchman for publishing an article
some months ago criticising some
proceedings In the court growing out
OF the rape case OF Paxton Groves
and others, account OF which ap-
peared in this paper at the time
Hon G. w. Osenton one OF the at
torneys who defended Groves ap-
pears as the principal witness against
Johnston and II is said, Will conduct
the prosecution.
We are in favor OF every body up
holding the majesty OF the law, and
treating with due and proper regard
the Judges OF our courts and the
officers OF our tribunals IL is only
by this means that proper safeguard
can be thrown around our institu-
tions and make life and property
safe. But we are always and for
ever opposed to any attempts to
muzzle the press. Judges and law
yers and other officers are human
and made out OF the same kind OF
mud as other people, and can not
expect absolute immunity from critl-
cism for their errors. It is the
newspapers chat stand as watchmen
on the towers" to proclaim to all
the people what is being done by
their public officials.
Reasonable latitude for criticism
they must have, and will have, in a
free country. 1t is the lime light
OF publicity that deters people from
doing many acts they would other
wise do. Thos. Jefferson is credited
with saying, that he would rather
live IN a country with free and un-
trammeled newspapers without a gov
ernment, than 20 live I'm a country
with a government and without
newspapers
The Indictment may give Bro.
Johnston some trouble, and some ex-
perience. but that will be all.
His article was somewhat causuc
but "e'en iis falllngs leaned on vir-
tues side"
Brer Sawyer's OF the Independent
Herald who was one OF Groves At
torneys takes this sensible, true and
phllosophic view Of the matter when
he says Some Of us got mad
about whal the editor said and some
OF us didn't If we had sued every
blamed newspaper that has abused
us our life would have been one con
tinual long drawn out slander suit"

there was no direct testimony, Lin

INTERNATIONAL TY-
BIOGRAPHICAL UNION
SOMETHING OF THE OLDEST
TRADE ORGANIZATION IN
THE WORLD.

The great strike in the book and
job printing industry In which the
International typographical Union OF
North America and the United Typo
hetae OF America have been pitted
against each other for eighteen
months has attracted considerable
attention to trade-union methods and
the history of trade organizations.
The international typographical
Union was formed I'm 1852, and has
had successful and progressive ex-
istance ever since that time. Pre-
vious to 1852 there were many local
associations or unions of printers,
and a convention OF these local as
sociations was held as early as 1894.
The International Typographical
Union Is recognized as a conserva-
tive organization. and this Is borne
out by the effect that was made by
the officers of the union to peaceably
adjust the eight-hour contention with
the employers before the strike was
entered into. This strike has been
a marvel of financing. The Inter
national Typographical Union has a
membership of about forty-seven
thousand. and, with the exception of
about fifty thousand dollars, these
forty-seven thousand members have
raised by assessment more than $3,-
100000 for the conduct OF their
strike for the eight-hour day. The
assessment was at first fifty sents
per week, then 10 per cent of all
wages earned. The 10 per cent, as
sessment was effective for nine
months. 1t was then reduced to 7
per cent. The method OF levying
the assessment is also worthy of
explanation. II was not placed by
a convention. The proposition was
submitted to a referendum vote The
proposal to levy fifty cents per week
received majority of nearly twenty
thousand votes, and the poposal to
levy a 10 per cent, assessment re-
ceived a majority OF more than
eighteen thousand votes
The International typographical
Union also conducts a home at Colo
rado Springs, known as the Union
Printers Home. This institution was
erected and is maintained by the In
ternational Typographical Union for
its aged and distressed members
Thus far the union, in erecting and
carrying on this part OF it's philan-
thropic work, has expended more
than five hundred thousand dollars
in about twelve years time There
are at the present time at the Union
Printers Home about one hundred
and fifty inmates.
Local typographical unions also
have their benefit features, such as
caring for sick members, assisting
those who may be temporary out of
work, and burial funds, which are
contributed to by all members Along
these lines thousands of dollars are
expended every year.
The headquarters to the Internat-
ional Typographical Union are locat-
ed in Indianapolis, Ind, and the
officers of the organization are con-
tinually sending out pamphlets de-
scriptive to the Union Printers Home
and explaining the methods of the
union. James NJ. Lynch is the pre-
ent President. and J. w. Bramwood
Secretary.

Vile, killt large and fierce wildcat
the first OF this week within mile and
quarter of West Reynoldsville and
quarter Of a mile south OF the turnpike,
on the run that passes Frank Deemer's
residence. The boys have been trap
ping for some time for fur animals, such
as mink, weasel and muskrats, and to
say that they were surprised to find a
large and ferocious wildcat in their
small trap would be putting it rather
mild. The trap was not fastened to
any permanent object, and as the boys
didn't have firearms with them and the
wildcat was hampered only with small
trap fastened to ole front leg, it looked
as If th re was to be fierce battle. The
boys had II small hunting ak with them,
with which they cut two clubs and
were determined to give battle. John
faced the wildcat while James advanced
on the rear Crouched in warlike
manner, the wildcat was about to
make spring at Johns throat when
with dextrous blow James stunned
the animal and then the boys rained
blows on him thick and fast until the
lifeless body OF the wildcat lay stretched
at their feet. The wildcat measured
forty inches in length.
The farmers in the neighborhood will
undoubtedly be pleased to hear OF the
capture OF this animal, as it has been a
source of great annoyance to them for
some time. The hide would make
fine rug, or If any person wanted to
have the wildcat mounted it would make
a nice appearance. The boys will sell
the animal.

For three score years The Dispatch
has been the leading newspaper OF
Pittsburg. IL has had not only local

This reputation has rested upon quAl

were sold for cents. When cotempor-
aries sold for penny The Dispatch en-

Each issue of The Dispatch is better
than that OF the day before. It's aim is
constant Improvement. 1t is contin-
ually adding to its facilities for getting
the news. Its enterprise is untiring.
More than this, The Disptch is liked
because it tells the truth without color
or bias. Being the only Independent
paper it is not allied with the political
parties or cliques. 1t tells both sides
of the story, so that its readers can com
pare issues and form honest conclusions.
Unrivaled news facilities enable The
Dispatch to print exclusively the best
local, State, national aud foreign news
in all departments.
The sporting pages are recognized as
authority.
Its special features ard departments
are superior to all others.
Its editorials are fearless and indie
pendent.
lis editorial page is not surpassed in
rcadiblity, attractiveness or interest.
The Dispatch has always been read
by the best people. Other papers have
attempted to initiate it, but without
success. There is distinctiveness
about The Dispatch that they do not
seem able to attain.
The Dispatch has always been worth
2 cents. Now that all the Pittsburg
morning papers are being sold for the
same price it is inevitable that the
public will prefer real 2.cent-paDer

basis and that it wall hereafter have an
