ABOUT MULES.

Are mules liable to mental dis eases?" asks The Raleigh Evening Times. and follows with a statemeht to the effect that the mules belonging to the state are dying "of a malady that doesn't come within the limits of science" Then 1t continues:
 Who. knows but that the patient beast, broodins too curfously upon the accumulated wrongs and acts of in justice of generations of ruthless 3p- pression, may be subject to melan- cholia too deep for the skill of his fam fly physician, and so dies a victin of insanity, or infiicts upon htmself some form of enthanasia? Possibly a few good alienists. like those that figured SO prominetttly of late In the Thaw trial, could do more towsrd solvina than any one else. It might be well to add a department of psychology to our agricultural colleges.
 To those at all veessd in mulology 1t has always been noticed that the animal is subject to mental aherra- tionn. but 1t has always been attrib- uted to pure cussadnsss." as the coun- try people sometimes express it. We claim that he Is about the most un- certain. sudden and unexpected animal that perambuiates on four leKs--or on two. for that matter. The most care full sEndsnt of his nature and .habits never know what to sxnsct of him. The most fsrni1iar mule expert can never even guess when he will break cut and play the Maud set. one win draw the plow fer hours so quietly. docilely and satisfactorily that all idea of. fear ta banished and then. when the psyco- logical moment comes he will kick the driver over tho fence or run away and muss things. One will walk or iog- trot along fin way to lnn his rider into a condition of delightful security and then throw him Into 6 briar-patch or a. mud hole. He will remain quiet and amiable while being fed and rubbed down and then kick his own"r through the doov.
 We insist and are free to maintain that there is no accounting for mules whether they get their cratic dispo- sitfon and habits from that far away ancestor that gave Balaam (was it not?l so much trouble. or whether cen- turtles of breeding over mixed parent age and hard treatment, or whatevsr may be the controlling cause we can not say, but we do know that they are decidedly prsearious.s and several other things It may be. as The Times intimates, that prooding over their real or fancied wrongs may produce brain storms ana other ailments which cause them to be stubborn at. times and un- comfortably vivacfous at others. Who can fathom mules mind.-if he has one?

cation which they would be glad. to get back if 1t were not too late. An article may be written in hurry, ana then. after due reflection and inves- tisatioh the author sees that he or she was mistaken. and that the article should never have been written, but If the editor were to suppress 1t. hav- ing better knowledge On the subject, the writer would in all probability re- sent the liberty taken.
 The writer of the article referred to may have seen that she had made a mistake and that 1t should not be printed and as q plea .o prevent it's publication she made the complaint that the article had been nutilated. Perhaps it was all the better for that. The general public knows little of what the editor has to contend with in his work. Tt is related" remarks The Indianapolis Star. "of certain popular periodical intended for youthful read CTS that nearly all it's contributions are practically rewritten by the editorial staff in order to make them conform to certain literary standard, the exisen-, cies of space, etc, The editor of pop- ular magazine complains bitterly of the difficulty of getting the material he wants in the shape he wants 1t. Ev- cry newspaper editor knows how much labor must be put on much of the cons tributed matter that comes to his hands to fit 1t for publication. Ev- erything considered. writers for mag, azines and the press will do well to smile, if they can, and at least say nothing when their choicest bits of fine writing are rennorseiessiy cut out by the editor. The editor commonly knows best"

 Just now the Democrats are stoppadi to plead that the present is Republi- can panic; for the cad of the Dene- cratic party proclains that for two years ana upward the Republican PrestdenA has been giving the eoun- try nothtpG but unshlrted Democracy.

 This story of Bryan allowing himself to be nominated and then declining in the interest of harmony puts too much of a strain upon the credulity of even the gapers who imagine that whatever comes out of Washington on politics must be true. If Bryan rS- ceived two thirds of the vote in the Denver convention. he would De apt to think that harmony had arrived, and he with it. Mir.
