THE HONEST NEWSP1PEK In de6ning its aim and purpose the Philadelphia Ledger, notably oue of the great and most useful papers published in this country, says: ? "A newspaper which aims to deal fair ly with Its readers should, we have, al ways held, print, without fear nr favor. the actual news of the day. It should Of cmrse The Post gives the lady in New Bern who indulges in what is called "Christian Science" treatment a chance to -defend herself against certain strictures which re-Mitly appeared in its columns in co-nnoeiiou with the death, under her "treatment," of a little cihild. We do not and shall aiot question the motives, of the lady, oi her sincerity in the matter or faith in her new doctrine. We will venture to suggest, however, that the "practic " wfoieh teems to b a part of 'the curriculum, of her peculiar institution should be confined to the a-d'ilt adherents, whose intelligence is sufficient to enable them to manage their own affairs rather than on the ignorant and specially the helpless yi-ung. While a severe colic is a punishment of some sin against nature, in providiug the pun ishment the good Lord was also good oaoug.li to provide I'h-y antidote in the shape of various herbs, etc., etc., which science has enabled us to prepare to suit the MDereTiey. We will not ask our fair correspondent to lay aside her "faith" and resort to cacinjvire and Ja; uca gin ger in her own case, but we believe in oiu snail that the "good old way" of practice, with such improvements as seieuce and the fuller comprehension of the manifold gifts which the Almighty have vouchsafed us is the better plan for the present. The millennium may ussier in the new dispensation but, w h:ive not! entered upon that period of freedom from all ills as yet. However, we ask a. perusal of th lady's defease. will make many votes for the ticket. Mr. HaDna says his trust speech was garbled by the press. What he means is that it was not interpreted just as he would have interpreted it after reading it in type. Great men who talk often have that same experience, is the Min neapolis Times' comforting assurance to the bewildered Marcus. "The Man rather than. the Dollar" is the suggestive motto upon the campaign button recently adopted by the State Association of Bryan and Stevenson clubs. "The MAN rather than the Dollar!! yes, yes!! What a significance that ought to possess. I began at the foot of the ladder. Bat I did not s-'tay there long." "Neither did the ladder." cheerfully interpolated another gentleman of the same class. For this, be dt understood, occurred at a banquet, at which the newspapers were unpermitted to attain representa tion. Little did they dream that the nwkwardest waiter of the bunen was a reDorter. How were they to make sub tie distinctions in the manner of the lower element? Mr. Clande Kitchln In Warren (Littleton Reporter.) Hon. Claude Kitchin. our Democrat ic nominee for Coneress. is billed to speak in Warrenton next Monday, Octo ber 1st, and at Grove Hill on Tuesday, October 2nd. Every man in Warren county should turn out and hear this gifted and talented son of Halifax, as he is one of the most forceful and en tertaining speakers in Eastern Carolina, and when you cast your vote next No vember see that it reads as follows: For Congress, Claude Kitchin. The company of soldiers captured or killed by the Filipinos the other day were mostly from Atlanta, Georgia. Sev eral members were from Bryson City, this State. All indications the past two days point to an early, and it is hoped satisfactory settlement of the great coal strike in Pennsylvania. And it From some of our Democratic ex changes it appears that Mark Ilanna will bfTentitled to the credit of settling the coal strike. Some of them are get ting very generous in their admissions. It will require 4,000 men thirty days yet to clear away the debris left by the recent storm at Galveston. And yet the heroic people are pushing ahead with the fullest confidence in the future. The Lamentations of Linney as given in The Post yesterday suggests .the flight to the mountains of Ilepsidam and the mourning of the whangcroodle. In the valley, however, all is peace and content. What superb cotton-picking weather the people are now enjoying. Let every boll be saved. It is worth good money now. Insight Into Human Character (New York Weekly.) Old Fogy Proprietor Why did you treat that shabbily dressed woman so coolly ? Sharp Clerk You noticed I eold to her, didn't you? "Yes." "And the article didn't really suit her." "I noticed that." "She bought it because she thought I thought she couldn't afford to." 1 1 . In Tble Free Country (Omaha Bee.) The freedom of tea chine, like the free dom of speech and the freedom of the press, must be safeguarded and protect ed. It is one of the moving factors in the perpetuation of free institutions. But the limitations usually imposed are mere ly the necessary safeguards against an ubuse of privilege. '., j. Ranaa'i mistake (Detroit News-Tribune.) ' r " ' . nanna says there are no "trusts," and yet the congressional library contains 2(57 volumes upon the subject, and the government itself has catalogued then in a work entitled "A List of Books Re lating to Trusts7 published this year. A Rarity (Brooklyn Eagle.) That man will deserve ,and receive praise who refuses to think that his pri vate state of mind on politics is a matter of public concern. The flagrant expos ure of unimportant views does not raise the insignificant to the interesting. Itlood In the Old Ittan Yet (Morganton Herald.) Governor Jvarvis is the latest addition to the Senatorial canvass. His card is in excellent ta te.

The "ledger" believes that its readers are entitled to receive a wholly impartial statement of the facts and of both sides of disputed questions, and assumes that its readers are intelli gent enough to make right decisions. The chief mission of nn honest news paper is to tell the truth to the best of Its ability." And we will add that a paper can be "partisan and still "tell the truth" and observe its duty to its readers, not only by printing the actual news of the day," but give the facts pertaining to both sides fairly and truthfully, re serving for its editorial columns such comments as may be thought proper, these also to be within the limits of truth and justice. While the Post will not claim to be an organ in the common, we may say vulgar, acceptation and use of that term, it is Democratic; but with this it will not lose sight of the fact th it it is also a newspaper, and will ever show confidence in its readers to believe they can be trusted to read botn sides of any question and possess intelligence and manhood or --viauhood enough to reach wise conclusoins. "The chief mission Oi. an honest newa paper is to tell the truth to the best of its ability." is a maxim which ex presses emphatically the ainj of The Post, and its governing principle. We believe we may claim without immodesty that.it is this manifest purpose iof The Post which has given it the largest cir culation among bona fide subscribers! ever enjoyed by a: y paper published at the capital or within the State, which such circulation we now claim. Not only its sincere Democracy, but its regard f.r decency and truth, and generous use 0f "all news that is fit to print," gives The Post a standing 'th in the community and State of which we confess pride; rnd vv believe the day is past when vulgar mis representation and a perverted news ser vice can command the support of the virtuous and intelligent people f tbe State. The Post, at all events, will not attempt to maintain itself bv "Hooray for McKinley! I'm Pratt, of Washington. Tell Ilanna I'm here Pratt of Washington!" he jelled to an attendant. Then he sank into a chair and closed Lis eyes. WM..,. " ..1. f..,l f Into. ese employers and employes in all ..t.. u r. iiv'inL.i tm v. ton n.nn. .1 ili.lt Ll iAVA-VlT JH V V L.

Labor is not only entitled to its just reward in all employments, but the laborer hims.df is entitled to a personal consideration and respect which his fidelity and good con duct may merit. We thought it would come to pass af ter awhile. The Hon. George II.

Gimme a ci gar." Mr. Hanna was about to leave the building, but delayed his departure until Mr. Pratt of Washington had been care fully but firmly conducted to the street. Tobacco Sell High in Wlleon (Wilson Times.) Tobacco is selling the highest for years in this city. Last week a man from Richmond came here to buy tobacco, and after following the sales one day said.

It is to be Loped that no Just five week from next Tuesday to the election. Ol that day the people of this .Stat-- will vote for a President, Vice-Prcsiuent, a United States Senator and Congressmen. Matters of vast moment ' hang upon the votes cast on that day. Fifteen million free men m this great county will cast their ballots, and the policies by which they will be governed for the next four years will be then decided. The humblest as well as the highest c.tizeu in the land is involved in the result. Every citizen, therefore, who i? entitled by law to do so, should eereie the privilege by which these great matters are to be deter mined. Every Democrat should be up and doing. The witness at once turned around, and making an awkward bow, said, with perfect gravity: "Good morning, gentlemen." Mr. Iieverodge, the aurora borealis Senator from Indiana, in his recent speech in Chicago, said, among other things, the following: "Here i the program of reason and righteousness, au-.l lime ami events will make it the program of the republic: "iii-st. We have given Porto lvieu such a civil govonim -iu as her situation de mands, under the stars and stripes. "Second.

V are regenerating Cuba, and when our preparatory work is done we should have given Cuba such a civil gov ernment as her situation may demand, under the stars and stripes." This embodies just all that the people of these islands kick against. They do not object to seeing our stars, but do object most Btrenuously to our stripes. ' And who can blame" them? Ben rim jnust Ilv HI Private Car (Washington City Times.) It My interest a number of people and surprise many others to learu that the Bryan campaign managers in the East are not paying out a dollar for spellbinders. It is probable, of course, that the forthcoming tour of the lion. W. Bourke Cochran will cost some money, but this will be due wholly to the fact that Mr. Cochran demands a private car to travel in and private cars cost Democrats considerable money. But ex-Governor Stone, the responsible man ager of the Eastern campaign, is au thority for the statement that no speak ers have been hired by him or his asso ciates, nor are anj' of the hundreds now upon the stump in New York, New Jer sey, Maryland and West Virginia draw ing a cent from national headquarters in New York.
