: to this step, it is with a .feeling somewhat ol
I embarrassment that I assume the position;
; but at the same time it is a source -of pride
an l pleasure that I have the happy j.rivil
: of connecting myself with that nobie fra
j nity the Press of Gioryia. llealilizing
j ly then, the responsibilities, the cares
! vexations of spirit attendant upon the lift
an editor, I ent.r the ranks with a' firm re-
i solve to imdeaver to discharge my whole du-
' ty in the jireuiises. fearlessly and faithfully.
! In a land of liberty, as our country is, where
■ the freedom of the press is the safe-guard of
i the people, and where, indeed, tho press is
: considered of the first estate, the editor of a
news Jaipur is regarded tii a great ext -ut as
j tho custodian of the people's rights. In this
- position it shall be my aim to uphold and de
fend the right and truth, from whatever
, source it may come; because truth is always
pure and powerful, whether it come from
i one as immaculate as tjie driven snow, or
: whether it be uttered from the ebony lips of
i t ie Ethiopian, it is Htill pure and mighty and
will prevail.
I am nii politician, lint I love my country
and will probably occasionally have somthing
to say concerning the political questions < 1
the day. Having been brought up in the
pure democratic faith as handed down from
the noble founders of the Republic, my f.-el-
ings are in full accord therewith. Yet I shall
observe and maintain »n independent course
in all that I may have to say in regard to po
litical matters. I will support any m -a. u -s
which I may believe to be consonant with
the the true interests of the people, and will
^iot consider myself specially bound to ob
serve tho dogmas of any jmvtioauu- clique or
fei.hu.
In a business point of view with the Her
ald, I shall endeavor to douT with all persons
fairly, candidly and justly. And in this con
nection I will repeat what I said on a lornier
occasion, though under different circum
stances: -Believing that integrity, energy
and indnstry are the chief elements of suc
cess in life, it shall be my aim to make my
actions and my duties consonant with these
principles. Feeling conscious of the recti
tude of my own intentions, I snail always
endeavor to
‘Approve the best; and/oftor wlmt I approve.’
1 Know that I am fallible, as all men arc.
To please ermjuody is something 1 cannot ami
do net -expect to do. 1 shall not write to
please or displease any special party or par-
ticular class of persons; but on ail subjects
which may come before me for consideration,
I shall write as mv judgment may dictate and
my conscience approve ; hoping that my ef
forts may not fail to obtain tne good opinion
of all fairminded men, and to gain the best
wishes of all persons who are dispose! to be
reasonable and just.

the “boss" and addressed him thus: “Boss,
Fse gilt in liiitv old; nint got long fer dis

“Certainly, old woman. I will lend for
you: sit down." The old negro sit down
while the "buss" Wi lit to get his Bible. He
began to t-ud to ln-r, and the-obi negro
would hitch up her chair a little nearer, and
say. “Humph, thank de Lord." Presently
