AHMED NEUTRALITY.
Ups and Sswna of Journalism—The
"Dally Sand bagger's" Two Editors.
For tome time back it has been no
ticed by the citizens of Bangtown.
Tex., that the usual generous flow of
extente cordial* in the office of the
Daily Samtbagger, was somewhat
congealed and jerking in its deliv
ery.
The editorial end of the establish
ment did not seem exactly en rap
port with tle red-headed business
manager, who opened the mail aud
sold nonpareil advertising space at
the other tud. There were dark and
portenteu* mutlerings floating
•round in the atmosphere, while,
aueu, the echoes of a bad werd would
reverberate throughout the corridors
of the journalistic rancho.
Colonel Brown, the managing edi
tor, and Major Fink, the business
manager, had equal interests in the
capital .took of the coacarn—said
capital stock consisting principally of
a S6OO mortgage and SIOO worth ef
priuting materials, aud of a $5,000
libel suit. Tbe managing editor was
a Republican, and the business man
ager was a Democrat. Haiti believed
that the other had been subsidized by
the party he belonged to.
Of course out ot this grew a most
unhappy state of fermentation, and its
melancholy existence created ne little
riction in other departments of the
office, aside from those ot the two
principle heads of the concern. This
vludictivo and unholy influence rap
idly permeated the eonfiiies of the
composing room, and in due timo the
foreman found himself In the unhap
py position of being whip-sawed,
and ground, ns it were, beneath 1 the
upper and the nether millstone. But
exactly which was the upper and
which the lower was a problem dif
flcaltto solve, as tho temporary eleva
tion of the managing editor was im
mediately followed by that of the au
btirn-liairod business luminary, and
they were both alternately on top.
Thus, affairs stood ono morning.
when tho managing editor of the
Daily Saadbaggcr strolled into the
composing room, hung a lurid edito
rial on the hook, and calling tin: at
tention of the foreman to it, said : m
‘•I want that to go in to-day's is
suo.”
“Yes, sir,” answered the foreman.
The managing editor glared at him,
and again said, fiercely:
“You heard wiiat I said?”
“Yes, sir,” answered the foreman,
in a voice away down below concert
pitch.
"Then, why don’t you speak up?”
pursued the managing editor, caus
tically.
"Don’t you dare put that editorial
in the paper!”
This was a now voice and anew
phase. The mansging editor swung
himself vis a vis with his pink-haired
eueinjr, Major Fink. * The foreman
toyed sulkily with a menkey-wreneli.
Evidently there was some kind of a
crisis hanging around that locality,
and liable to come down with a dull
thud at any moment. The palc-faoed
compositors, alsoimagined they could
perceive a large-sized focus looming
in the distance. Then the managing
editor again addressed himself to the
fereman. He asked him if he was
going to run in that editorial. The
foreman said he was, and then the
business manager asked the foreman
if he meant what he said, and the
foreman said no, he was only trying
to feel the managing editor. As the
last heartless reuiouk fell athwart the
managing editer’s tympanum, lie
turned on the foreman savagely, and
demanded to know whose orders lie
intended to obey. The fur email re
plied naively in a sort of subdued
d’hote voice, that he should, of course,
insert the article as requested by the
managing editor, but at the same
time lie should reserve the right to
reject any or all bids, aud while ardu
ously striving to obey the commands
of the business manager, because tbs
business manager paid him oil every
Saturday, and leave the editorial out
altogether, still, at the same time, as
heretofore said, he should feel that
hit duty compelled him (• insert
“the slush,” at he called it, even
though he was obliged to leave it
out.
Then the managing editor said that
he should hold the foreman person
ally responsible for the appsarauee of
the editorial, and the business mana*
ger pleasantly remarked that, if the
foreman ran it in, he would skin him
on sight, dock him a week’s wages
and tire him out of the office on the
European plan, and the managing ed
itor said that if the foreman failed to
insert it, he would boycott the com
posing room, pi the type, tip over the
steueand murder the pale-faced print
ers. Than he lctchcd the business
manager a wipe alongside the jowl
Willi a brass column-rule, and the
bnsiuess manager commenced bring
ing him ’tip by the hand.' Willie the
hilarious foreman pressed the mon
kev-w rcuch into the oesophagus of I
the business managing editor, the
pale printers swarmed around the
business manager, aud beat the dev
il’s dream into him with some old
kidjiey cure electrotype advertise
ment top column next to reading mat
ter. When everything oa the pro
gramme had bccu carried out, the
two'bruiscd and battered heads of the
departments were also carried out
on a husk mattress, and laid down in
thabusinoss office to cool oil', and tha
city editor sawed out enough reprint
matter to stuff the columns of the
Daily Sandbagger for two woeks.
When the two gladiators recovered,
a mutual friend suggested an ar
rangement that would prevent fur
ther hostilities. The arrangement
hae been agreed to, It is a sort of
armed neutrality. Colouol Brown
hasebsoluie control of the flrst aud
second pages and makre his half of the
Daily Sandbagger deeply and in
tensely democratic. Mr. Fink has
full proprietary interest in the third
and fourth pages, and iio makes hie
end of the journal so red hot Repub
lican that it would blister a demo
crat’s fingers to handle it. It is now
thrilling!)’ interesting to the Daily
Sandbagger’* readers to peruse the
editorials of tha versatile Colonel
Brown, in which lie refers to Major
Fink’s part of the paper as “the sub
sidized organ of a corrupt political
organisation,” and to the Major’s ut
terances as the "putrid effervescence
ef a diseased brain—tho wretched
driveling of an uninspired jdiot.”
Tho Major is no less aggressive. He
delights to write ofColonel Brown as
"a aquirt” aud of tho Colonel’s half of
tlie paper as a “vile sheet.” The cl!—
ihax seems to have been arrived at
in the last issue, in which Colonel
Brown, by publishing an affidavit
and other cheerful statistics, tried to
prove that tho circulation of Major
Fink’s organ was visibly falling off,
while his end of the Daily Sandbag
ger was rapidly increasing in circu
lation.
All of which goes to show that,
for enterprise and vigorous originali
ty in conducting a newspaper, the
Western journalist takes both tho
cake and the electroplated cake-bas

WITLING THE KAIN QUESTION.
It is popularly supposed that the
rain fulls alike upon the just and un
just, though many people have had
their faith in this proverb shaken by
the fact that Macon still suffers lor
rain while Atlanta is plentifully sup
plied. If we may credit Australian
dispatches, however, the time is com
ing when man will have the rain
question in liis own hands, and will
not have to add “p. p.” or "and. r.” to
his weather prognostications. The
Australian invention is intended to
produce rain storms. No farmer can
afford to be without one of the ma
chines.
In simple language the apparatus
Is merely a balloon to which is at
tachod a wire and an immense dyna
mite cartridge. The plan of working
it is as follows: The farmer or per
son desiring rain goes out in the
morning and hides himself behind
a hedge or elsewhere and wats for a
cloud 10 come along. When a cloud
of any respectable size cotnus.in range
the concealed operator immediately
frees his balloon, and instead of wail
ing (or the cloud to roll by and disap
point everybody, sends his appnral as
right into It. The dynamite is then
jerked out of the balloon and having
been allowed Is fall far enough to
avoid destroying the ballosu, is ex
ploded by means of a current of elec
tricity sent along the wire. The
slide? will, It Is believed, knock the
rain out of (lie cloud, and all that tbs
fanner has to do is to hoist his um
brella and haul in bis balloon. Some
times, howsrer, accidsms will hap
pen and the dynamite will fail to ex
plode when jerked ont into mid-air.
In auc.fi eases il is well to understand
that something more than the mere
hoisting sf an umbrella is required of
the performer below. He will find it
wise to strike a bee lino for home ;
drop Info a well and pull the hole in
after him.—Macon Telegraph.
