manhood enough among the people to
stimulate them to put forth mighty
exertions to elect a gentleman of cul-

speedy riddance of the ruffian scum

OnCe every year we nave to Drag
about the Pioneer-Press, not be-
cause it is paper that we like,
for we don't like it, but because it
is a paper that we have to read.
It is necessity. Well, in order to
get it on our exchange list, we must
either brag about or pay for it, and
it is great deal cheaper to do the
former than the latter. Then, there
is no loss of character involved, for
everybody knows just why the coun-
try press boasts periodically that
the Pioneer-Press is a great, good,
and necessary newspaper. They
know that it is done in order to get
an exchange, and they make allow
ance accordingly. This season there
is remarkable peculiarly about
these pufs of the Pioneer-Press (ex-
cept ours.) They all commence
alike, continue alike and end alike.
There is no difference, notwithstand-
ing that one appears in the northern
and another in the southern part of
the State, and this similarity con-
vinces every body that they must
have been printed in the Pioneer
Press Office and sent out to country
editors. That it is really the Pion-
eer-Press putting itself.


We don't complain of this. In
deed, it is ene'osity on the part of
the metropolitan establishment to
supply editorials to the "hirelings of
the rural press, and certainly these
furnished pufs are far more elaborate
and able than such as country edi-
tors generally would write, if the
task were left to them. Hence, the
Pioneer-Press people are sensible to
do their own putting. So far as in
Auencing the people is concerned, it
is, no doubt, true that four or FIVE
lines from the veriest blunderer that
ever edited a six-by-nine sheet would
do far more than this polished pro-
duction. At least, such is our opin-
ion, and we charge nothing for it.


We don't like the Pioneer-Press
because we believe it to be merce-
nary, and we cannot, therefore, put
confidence in anything it asserts ed
itorially. Even if the statement is
one we have previously believed,
when we find it involved in Pion-
eer-Press editorial our convictions
become unsettled. Such is our want
