And now at the beginning of the new year we are tempted to publish a letter from a business man^who, In making a remittance, takes occasion to express hts appreciation of The Herald’s fidelity to the material In terests of Its city and section. The letter - was probably not written for publication, but we take the liberty, feeling assured that no harm can come of It. Tile letter Is from Mr, S. D. Pickett, the man who, surmounting in numerable difficulties, has developed the magnificent water power of the Albany Power & Manufacturing Company, which promises to do so much for our city. The spirit o; optimism—the confidence expressed In the future of Albany by Mr. Smith—lias a ring about It that Is especially pleasing to The Herald’s ear. This Is the spirit that, we have been trying The Herald deal* with advertising agents by speolal eontraot only, and no advertising agent or agency Is au thorized to fake contracts for adver tisements to bo Inserted In this paper.

Gontlemon: » I take pleasure In handing you herewith check for $45.25 to covet .attached bill. Permit me to thank the management df The Herald for the many things they have done for our company. I know of no newspaper in any town or city in the country that is more wide awake to the material de velopment of the section that It represents, and every Interest in Alba ny certainly owes your paper Its active support. So far as the Albany Power & Manufacturing Company is concerned, I beg to say that we stand ready at all times to co-operate with you In any measure which will further advance Albany’s progress and prosperity. In my judgment, the magnificent strides made by the people of Albany within the past year have been largely due to the Influence of your paper, and as you have "got the people going” there Is very little doubt as to the future of the town. With personal regards to each of you? and best wishes for the con tinued success of The Herald, I am, Very truly yours, S. D. PICKETT, President. A suit for $20,000 or failure to de-' liver a Federal office in accordance with a written contract is a highly in teresting novelty. State Senator An derson, o! North Carolina, has begun the suit against the chairman of the Republican Committee, the Collector of Internal Revenue at Asheville, and other persons, who might have given him an appointment worth $2,000, as per agreement, but did not, and the view that a court: will take of a con tract of this sort •*'ill he entertaining. Incidentally, it is disclosed that Rol lins, the chairman, is a son-in-law of Judge Pritchard, formerly Populist Senator from North Carolina, appoint ed judge to compensate him for his services In the senate to the Republi can administration. It is alleged that Pritchard and Rollins secused Fed We Lead in Style, Fit and Quality oral ofilces for more than fifty of their ! relatives, and North Carolina Rcpub- Rcpuli ilcans who are not related and see no cli a nee of becoming related to the judge and the chai-man are indignant at this family Trust. An Eastern newspaper started a sort of symposium dealing with the ques tion. Is Miss Hetty Green, the richest woman in the world, happy? The concensus of opinion among those contributing to the symposium seems to he that the rich woman is one of the most miserable of creatures—that she is not only unhappy with her ac cumulated millions, but that she doesn’t even know how to be happy. Mrs. Green herself refuses to talk on the subject, and is evidently of the opinion that hex* happiness or un happiness Is her own affair. Pretty Good. From the Savannah PreB.s. Albany’s netinebme from her water department, and electric light plant was $7,000 for 1905. The Herald thinks this was pretty good—and so do we. GRAFT BY COMMON CONSENT. This thing we now call graft is be coming entirely too common and the people of the country gonovullv con sent to It In a matter-of-course way that gives license to it. The. Hartford Times, in discussing the popular ovll, well says that "we cry out graft, hut Ml of us aro con senting parties to It In one way or nnothor." Just so. Perhaps It Is only In accepting the package of seeds mailed to us by our boneficont "Little Father," Uncle Snm, hut most cif us at some time got a whiff £>f it, if not "a wlmck at jt." Even if wo have no share In It. at all there is, as wo havo said, general con sent to it. all the time. The man who draws his sustenanco from govern ment-national, state, city or town- oven In the humblest ’capacity, is re garded by a good many of his fellow- men ns a superior being, by virtue of bis place-holding, and consequently ns one who should enjoy privileges that others do not have. If he works, eveu in digging holes in (he streets, he must never work as many hours, or for as little pay as the privately em ployed. It is said that the opera house In Columbu^ In which the initial joint debate between cahdklates Hoke Smith and Clark Howell is to ho held will accommodate only about 1,000 people, while four times that number, it is estimated will want to hear the speakers. If this debate had been 1 arranged for at Albany this city could have furnished an auditorium of ample proportions to accommodate the crowd. The splendid auditorium of the Georgia Chautauqua has never been taxed to.its full capacity yet, and there lmve been some great, attrac tions in it. But we are, not bidding for a joint debate in Albany between Democrats. Wo don’t believe any good can come out of these personal fam ily quarrels. The supreme court of the United States has affirmed the decision of the Kentucky cou v * of appeals, which affirmed the action of the circuit court in refusing to grant a new trial to James B. Howard, one of the mur derers of Governor Goebel. Howard was tried three times, and each time was couvicted.
