Tue New Orleans “Picayune” yearns
for a distinctively “Southern” maga-
zine, all of whose writers and artists
shall come from below Mason. and
Dixsn’s line and whose topics shall
relate ehiefly to the South. The “Pica-
yune” is one of the few Southern news-
papers which still eling to the notion
that the folks down that way are a
class and a law unto themselves, who
should have a stake-and-rider fence
built around them and be allowed to
run things their own way inside of it.
That theory has long been “busted,”
and one of the proofs of it is that
several magazines which were started
along the lines suggested by the “Pica-
yune” have been dismal failures.—
Johnstown Tribune.
Tne warm spot in William J. Bryan’s
heart for Populistic doctrines blossomed
forth in last week’s issue of his Com-
moner wherein he remarked that the
movement now waning not only “has
been of great benefit to the Democratic
party and to the country,” also teaching
economic truths to Republicans, but
that it “helped to save the Democratic
party from annihilation.” Mr. Bryan
evidently does not have in his mental
machine any peg on which to hang
recent political history. If he had he
would remember that before the Democ-
racy formed a partnership with the
Populists it was a formidable and
requently a dominant power in New
York, New Jersey, and Connecticut,
and that it even earried Massachusetts.
In return for the loss of these states it
gained a few western mining camps and
thinly populated prairie common-
wealths, and was beaten overwhelm-
ingly in two successive Presidential
elections. Now that Populism is dead,
it has lost the West, which, with one or
two insignificant exceptions, is today
as solidly Republican as the South is
solidly Democratic. It is true that
Populism has been a benefit to the
country, but not in the way Mr. Bryan
means.—Johnstown Tribune.

LEGISLATURE ORGANIZED.
Harrisburg, Jan. 6.—The State Legis-
lature was o-ganized for the session of
1903 at noon today. The conditions
surrounding the organization were
painfully harmonious. John M. Scott,
the Republican caucus nominee, was
made president pro tem. of the Senate,
and Harry ¥. Walton, also the Repub-
lican caucus nominee, was made
speaker of the House. Tonight Boise
Penrose was made the Republican
caucus nominee for the United States
Senate. Col. James Guffey was made
nominee of the Democracy to oppose
the re-election of Mr. Penrose.

The Laws Should be Published.
Much is being said these days for
and against a law that will require our
state law-makers to have the laws that
will be enacted by our Legislature, this
winter, published in the newspapers, at
the expense of the state. We believe
that the laws should be so published,
and the Scotdale Independent voices
our sentiments exactly in the follow-
ing: “The near approach of the open-
ing of the State Legislature is again
bringing out the suggestion that the
laws passed during the session be
published in the newspapers through-
out the State. At the present time
there is no way for a vast majority of
the people to find out what laws have
been passed and yet they are expected
to obey the laws. Of course, a volume
of the laws are printed after the adjourn-
ment of the Legislature, but these are
given only to the courts, lawyers and
justices upon whom rests the duty of
punishing people for their failure to
obey a law of which they can have no
knowledge and before whom the plea
of ignorance will not be taken as an
excuse for the violation. All laws
should be advertised as they are passed,
.and none should be effective until they
are so advertised. The people should
be treated fairly in this matter, and it
is manifestly unfair to expect them to
obey laws of which they have no means
of informing themselves.” :
Not a Soft Snap.
Rev. A. D. Gnagey, who for eight
years edited the Brethren Evangelist,
the otiicial organ of the Brethren
church, published at Ashland, Ohio,
last week stepped down and out to
make room for his successor, a Mr.
Yoder, who was elected to that position
some time ago by the publication board
of the church. Judging from Rev.
Gnagey’s valedictory, he does not
consider the editorial profession a very
soft snap, and it isn’t, either. How-
ever, editing a church paper ought to
be an easy job compared to editing a
political and general newspaper. The
editor of a church paper has practically
no one to please in his writings but
people who believe or profess to be-
lieve in the same brand of religion
adhered to by himself; and religion is
practically the only topic he bas to
deal with. In fact the readers of the
church papers are supposed to be
practically all Christians; but judging
from Rev. Gnagey’s valedictory there
must be n good many who are more |
critic than Christian.
If the editor of the church paper has |
such a rocky road to travel, how much
more rocky and thorny must be the
path of the editor of a political and
general newspaper? The Iatter must
write for the perusal of all classes of
people—for Republicans and other
Christians, as well as for Democrats
and all other brands of sinners. Just
think of how we poor fellows who edit
secular newspapers must suffer! Our
papers are “cussed” and discussed by
all classes of people, because all classes
of people read them. They are perused
and discussed by the lawyer, the
politician, the clergyman, the officer,
the fellow who wants to be an officer,
the curbstone statesman, the capitalist,
the laborer, the Protestant, the Roman
Catholic, the Atheist, the beautiful
belle, the homely old maid, the married
woman, the Jew and the Gentile, the
butcher, the baker, the candlestick
maker and sundry and divers other
persons and things too numerous to
mention. And every one of them, of
course, knows more about editing a
paper than the editor himself.
Hard as may be the lot of the editor
of the church paper, his job is a
flowery bed of ease compared to that of
the editor of the secular newspaper.
However, the latter has the advantage
in several respects. We of the secular
press can call a man a liar, a thief or
an old ’'possum-eared hypocrite when
we can prove that he is such. But the
poor editor of a church paper daren’t
talk that way. He dare not even swear
or take a drink of booze unless he does
it on the q. t., because his readers, who
are all supposed to be Christians, seem
to have the exclusive right to doall the
mean talking, swearing and drinking
themselves. :
But to lay all jokes aside, Rev.
Gnagey gets oT a big wad of truth in
the following, which we clip from his
valedictory:
“The editor’s work, like that of the
pastor's and the teacher’s and every
other professional man’s is often far
short of what it ought to be, but it is
doubtful whether any other man’s
work is so subjected to the critical eye
of the public. The minister’s sermon
passes too quickly, and comparatively
too amall a number remember enough
of it, to intelligently criticise it. But
the editor’s thoughts and work are on
paper, and the reader. if critically
inclined, can take his own time: for the
criticism which gives him so much joy
to make. Besides, there are few things
which so many people imagine they
know just how it ought to be done, as
that of editing a paper, when in truth
very, very few people know anything
about the difficulties and the trials that
come in the way of an editor.”
rt
Towns Should Advertise.
“Towns, as well as merchants, must
advertise in order to prosper,” says
Printers’ Ink. “When a village is al-
lowed to go out of public notice through
lack of energy and enterprise, the
decadence of that village has begun
and nothing but well-directed advertis-
ing, backed by an infusion of new life,
can restore that place to its original
standing. Thus we find that the town
that has the county fair each year, and
improves it annually, becomes well
known through that medium. The
town that keeps its roads in good repair
LOOKING TO A COMPROMISE.
Verdict Aaginst Prof. Brumbaugh
Set Aside Unless Plaintiff Ae-
cepts Reduction.
Huxrtixgpox, Pa, January 5.
President Judge Bailey this after-
noon disposed of the matter of the
motion for a new trial in the breach of
promise suit of Cora A. Keim, a pretty
girl of Elk Lick, Somerset county,
against Professor I. Harvey Brum-
baugh, acting president of Juniata
Jollege, Huntingdon, by decreeing that
the verdict be set aside and a new trial’
granted unless the plaintiff accepts a
judgment of $5000 as against the $9250
verdict awarded by a jury. .
The Court stipulates that if the plain-
tiff, by a paper filed within twenty
days, remits all ‘be verdict in excess of
$5000, the motion for a new trial is over-
ruled. In the opinion filed with the
decree, the Court sets forth that in the
absence of evidence impeaching the
integrity of the jury, the verdict must
be sustained, although he expresses:
the belief that there was ample evidence:
| in the case to have warranted a verdict
for the defendant.
Neither the financial nor social
position of the defendant, nor the injury
done the plaintiff, the Court holds,
justified such an excessive verdict, and’ e
he adds that the jury’s judgment was
evidently found in feelng or sympathy
or prejudice.
It was the trial of this famous case-
that overturned the traditions and
customs of the Dunkard church that
had been rooted in its teachings since
its very earliest inception.
Whether or not the plaintiff will’
accept the pared verdict cannot be
ascertained.—North American.

Much Truth in This.
The Windber Journal in a recent
issue gets off a great deal of truth in
the following:
“People who reside in coal towns are
generally regarded as spendthrifts.
This may be true of some towns and
cities, but it can hardly be said of
Windber people, and particularly of
that class designated as “foreigners.”
Hundreds of dollars each pay day are
sent through the post office at Windber
and Scalp Level to banks in New York
City, Pittsburg and elsewhere. The
Italian who lost his life at the Paint
borough crossing about a month ago
had in his possession nearly $400 which
he intended to take with him to his
home in southern Italy where his
mother lives. While the average
American would not care to imitate the
manner of living practiced by the
economical foreigner, his saving
methods are worthy of consideration,
by the young man who saves nothing.
Young men often say their wages are
two small to lay anything aside. But
this is hardly correct. A dollar a week is
a small amount, yet a young man of 18
or 20 who places that sum each week
where it will draw interest, at the age
of 30 will be worth more than $1,000.
It would require some persistence on-
the part of the auerage young man to.
form the habit of saving a dollar each
week, but the effort would be invalua-
ble to him. Aside from cultivating a
habit of economy he would soon have a
fine investment which would bring
returns later in life and at the same-
time guard against hard times.”
