a Hydra-H
Newspaper Entity.

Whether it is bi-headed, tri-
headed, or quadri- headed. is
purely speculation; but there
isn't any questioning the fact
that one of the heads is under
cover of the Boston Newslets, of
which poor Stonington McElroy
-camp-meeting devotee, Sun
day school worker, and christian,
is accused of being the pattern
al SIRE, compositor, and insti-
gator.
Of. McElroy the editor has no
knowledge whatever. He has
hardly speaking acquaintance
with the man, having met him
probably half a dozen times. He
maybe good or bad; but as stated
before us to the author of the
Newsiets- are two of them,
one at each end of the line.
Knowing that, you have one of
the heads to This "15-puzzle"
combination.
AS clue to work on, partia /
key to the cipher, one of the
heads of the entity, speaking for
the mechanical head thereof. in
last weeks Democrat says, We
don't like to keep twitting him
about his poverty"
Now if you knew which one of
the ives" of the many angled
entity it was that said that, you
would have the key that would
unlock that foul combination.
Manifestfy the I'VE" that
wrote the Newslets is one of the
heads of the hydra-mystery,
since only in the Newslets has
there been anything said of any
body's poverty, and the mechan-
ical head of the com bina tion says
we" don't like to keep on twit-
ting him.
Just how many headed this
composite entity is, is not really
of so much concern as the foul
ness of it-what it feeds and lives
on. OF such a ScurrilouS, Sland-
erons, foul compound was the
Boston Newslets, that our county
Judge says he could be impeach-
ed for writing it, and the entire
last weeks Democrat was steep
ed in the same loathsome mix
ture, manifestly under the same
guiding hand or hands, as evil

any particularly Girty piece of
work is being done.
When one strikes out, he ordi-
narily wants to see the thing he
strikes at; but in this case the
hydra Conformation of the entity
. emitting the stencil makes it inn
possible to tell from what source
it comes, or in what direction to
strike.
The only thing consequently is
to take the mechanical head

individuals and milestone about
the neck of the Democratic partie
of the county, segregate it, as
semble the several parts, analyze
them, and thus endeavor To as
certain it's intrinsic value, ana
tomically and otherwise.
According to information this
fixture to the entity was dis
covered by Doc Emerson in an
alfalfa field, working probably
for his keeps" and enough on
the side to get him to the next
printing office. Aud Doc fed him,
put clean shirt on him, and
took him to keep at the rate of

elsewhere), was ready to strike

Let Us tn ;e the case of Thorn
ton Villers. What straw did
ever Thornton lay in this man
eaters way, that he should be
attacked through his paper?
Let us take the case of the
Halls, which is certainly a typi
cal case of aggravated ingratitude.
Outside of the writer, there was
no one said more good words foI
this man-eater to overcome the
bitter feeling against him that he
himself had aroused, than
did Eliza Hall; and his pay the
threat by phone that lhe man
eater would get the hides of the
Aliens and the Halls, off some
place in the earstwhile of the
future.
Let us take the case of attor-
ney Geo. Allen, a wocthler young
man than whom would be hard
to find anywhere. What did At
torney Allen do to arouse the
ire of this incarnation OF venom,
that almost every issue of his
vile sheet should make some dis
paraging reference 10 hin!
Take the case of Ed Measel,
contractor and carpenter, Il quiet

Whrt did Ed ever do to any OF
the hydra heads of the entity
that the vialS of its wrath should
be poured out upon him?
Take the case OF l.. l., Knox.
Does the mechani ,al head of the
entity remember how he was go
ing to have the locks of the Knox
topnot switched into his scalp
receiver, and can he tell why
he quit receiving that particular
scalp after meeting said Knox
one day in Villas face to face?
Also can he tell why he quit
receiving Chas. Foulii 5 scalp i'm
mediatdly after meeting him face
to face one day in Springfield?
Take the case of ALI and Eldon
Allen. What did they do that
they should be ''puked" on by
Gurn's bNzzard?
Take the case of Roy McCan-
less, of whom the Democrat said
the democratic central commit
tee had made a wise choice in
electing him it's chairman. What
did he do to call down on his
head the vengeance of this eater
of people in private life?
And the democratic county
officials-what did they do that
their bread and butter and official
lives should be threatened;' or
why should they be called upon

And who are these county
democratic officials whose bread
and butter and officials lives
were held up against their good
behavior, and wlat specific act
of wrong doing was charged W
to their account?
The Democrat didn't specify
as to the particular waywardness
and didn't individualize. 1t was
simply going to get the scalps OF
tie offending officials in its scalp
receiver. :"

England Can See Il.

In one Of those scholarly special
numbers for which 1t is noted, the
London Times reviews the textile
Industries of England and Scotland
under date of June 27.
The edition is just now arriving in
this country. II makes no difference
how late il is, for il will be as valu-
able year, two years or ten years
in newspaper form--probably the
most comprehensive encyclopedia of
textile interests ever published.
From the first column of the first
page to the last column of the sixty
second page, the tone of the textile
number is one of rejoicing. The mills
of England and Scotland are boom
ing as they have not done in years,
and the secret of 1t is to be found in
this Introductory paragraph to the
review of the American trade:
The textile manufacturers of the
United States are facing a most i'm
portant crises. In every branch of
the trade there is serious apprehen-
sion as to the future.
And again:
The effect of the impending change
in the national policy upon the tex
tile manufacturers, and how far that
change will be beneficial to foreign
competitors, should be considered.
1t has already had certain effect.
II has already reflected in a general
tendency to reduce output of the
mills. The largest producer of print
cloth in the country, with an /dt-
put of more than $4,000 pieces a
week, has shut down all of his mills
for an indefinite period.
Strange, isn't it, that England can
see it, when a Congress sworn and
paid to Protect American interests
and a highly educated President can't
see it at all?-Harrisburg Telegraph.
