STOCK LAW DEFEATED.

1t is only natural that the stock
law should be defeated in Hayti, where
so many people are engaged in the
hog and cattle business at the expense
of their neighbors.
OF course the people have no rights
that these old razor backs and long
horns are bound to respect, and their
owners can now COMPEL us to wade
COW guano and hog wallows the bal
ance of our natural lives.
We had given Jim Butler all the
credit for defeating the stock law, but
from what Dutch Joe said to us the
morning after the election we are
forced to the conclusion that Dutch
Joe put up good fight and is deserv-
ing much credit. Dutch Joe and Jim
Butler are two of our principal hog
raisers, and as they own no land and

FAIRNESS.

AS yet we have not heard a single
complaint against the stock law policy
as advanced by the Hayti Herald last
week.
While our position was clearly and
uncompromisingly stated, no one
could and no one dared to say that we
we were wrong; in fact, we were ex-
actly right, and no one could deny it.
But we were perfectly fair and reason
able, and so much 80 that many peo-
pie who were opposed to the stock law

We have received the special edition
of the Cotton, California, Chronicle,
and must compliment the management
on the nice showing made. The paper
contains many beautiful engravings,
illustrating that beautiful little city,
and the write-ups are under rather

could say absolutely nothing against
it.
There is no argument against the
stock law, only that we may not be
ready for it now, but it is only ques-
tion OF time when the stock law must
come, If our city is to grow, and no
matter when it comes, or in what form,
we must expect to find certain class
in the opposition.

The greater norton of the type in

The greater portion of the type in
this issue of the Democrat was set on
a Mergenthaler linotype machine in
stalled in our Office last week. This
machine is one of the most marvellous
inventions of the age, by which line
of type is cast automatically instead
of being set one letter at time by
hand. On December 1st, VIM. G.
Eldridge, long connected with our
office, went to the shop of the Mer-
genthaler Company in Brooklyn and
spent three weeks there learning the
intricacies of the machine. He re-
turned on the Gath and the machine
reached our officeonthe 2Sth. The
usual method is to have skilled ma
chinist from the works set up the
machine, but Mr.. Eldridge insisted
on that honor and it was accorded him
Thos. Hutchinson, young electrician
of this city, made the electrical con-
nections by which the machine is run.
Monday morning, Jan. 4, we began to
set type by machinery. Not very much
progress was made the first day, but
more was accomplished the second,
and on Wednesday Mr.. Eldridge put
up seven columns of eight point. He
expects to double that output with
practice. In a future issue we will
attempt to describe the machine so
that our readers will have some cor
ception of its wonderful mechanism.
The object of installing this ma
chine was to enable us to publish a
better newspaper and to more sue
cessfully serve the people in the way
of general printing-bookS, catalogue
work and job printing.
