That night, while his exhausted sol.

rest, General Worth was planning a
daring movement for the capture of
the heights above the Bishops Pal.

was so great, and all It's approaches
SO carefully guarded. that the only
hope of success appeared to lie in q
secret and rapid move during the
quiet hour just preceding the dawn.
Lieutenant.Colonel Chllds. with six
companies and two hundred carefully
selected Texas rangers, was chosen
for the dangerous honor of opening n
way to the heights above. At three

the flash of musketry, which warned

CANDIDATES AND PUeLlcIrY.

With the approach of tho general
election, even though 1t is still more
than year off. there are signs of
revival OF the controversy as to
tho rights and duties of the press In
relation to candidates. There is no
refutlng the fact that many newspa-
rers go to extremes in hunting for
and In printing the records, authentic
and hearsay, of opposition candidates.
and there is equally no doubt that a
great many men come to the front as
candidates and otherwise, in politl-
cal campaign, who can not afford to
have everything that is known about
them printed. Whether or not there
Is any justification for the assertion
than of yore, is largely matter of
opinion and Of location. For instance,
some awfully severe things were said
OF Senator Bailey, of Texas. a little
while ago, and he "stood them like
Major" On the other hand, candidates
and newspaper owners at Chicago
rushed into the courts with libel suits
like mon afflicted with brainstorms.
1t is also an open question as to
whether newspaper has right to
go into q mans private affairs simply
because he announces himself can.
didate for office. At the Same time
there is no gainsaying the fact that
both in theory and in practice, when
n man comes before the people for
their suffrages he stands as n target
for all sorts OF attack. 1t Is IN old
saying that a man can become thor
oughly acquainted with himself only
by running for office.
There Is one thing that candidates
should bear in mind, and that is tina,
the people want to know and lrc en-.
titled to know the truth about any
man who asks political favor at their
hands. II q man can not afford to
have the truth told about him he
would etterremain in private life. II
viewed from common sense bust
nses standpoint, this holds good. When
a man applies to an employer for n
position. he stands ready to answer
questions, and he must answer them,
truthfully. No employer thinks of
putting mans name on his salary
list, or Of entrusting him with any
sort of Il position, without knowing his
record. 1T there is n blot on the ca
reer of a man looking for preferment
in the business world it is always in
vestigated or held against him. 1t Is
but the commonest of common sense
that the same dule should he good in
political affairs, where the people are
the employers. In business the en-
ployer has certain channels through
which he gets information. In poll.
tics and public affairs. the people look
to the press to supply the information
desired.
