in these degenerate days there me
quite a number of men engaged in
the business of editing news-papeis
that should lie engaged income otlu r

Home too devoid of principle to

sibility of writing sentiments for
honest-, true, men and women to read,
This is true especially among the
rural weekly papers.
Wlitle the editor of the Breeze does
was. anogaks to himself any great dc-.
g,*e of ability in the news paper line,
lie does claim that his principles are
not to he bought for a price. When
ever he speaks out in defense or in
condemnation of a religious, moral or
issuo\lie does princi
uninfluenced secret and
binding contracts to will <jL
some '‘boss’’ or patronage limiter.
We made up our minds long ago to
act and write from conviction, not
allowing ourselves to be hampered by
fear or favor, and so long as the Breeze
is owned by its present owner and
and edited by fts present editor it will
adhere to this determination with a
fevor born of a religious desire to do
right.
whin you make a mistake acknowl
edge it like a man. It is manly.
Wit saw a boomerang once, and
this secret contract business reminds
us of it.

COMMUNICATED.
Biitor Vmza :—tfinae k
MsDsihM havs i*iplied to my la**,
communication in quite a ler-gtby
letter, J tliink it right that I should
have pace to make a short reply, com
ment some on their letter, etc. Still
if J should say no more now, 1 think
their letter has, within itself, ventilat
ed the matter of their populist con
tract, their lack of staunch political
principle, and their greed for personal
gain only; so the public could not
possibly misunderstand them.
They say; “we have asked for no
newspaper controversyNo, indeed!
That was just what they did not want,
especially oh, or about the matter
which it started. Audio attempting
to tape 1 what they call ‘ slanderous,
contemptible insinuations, ’ they put
Ihcmseh< s in worse light before the
public than ary one else could pos
sibly, be they of the “idle” or employ
ed class.
The Atlanta Journal printed Tom
Watson’s Daily for a price, but Hoke
Smith, “iti chief corner stone’-’ nor
any other of its stock holders have
ever bound themselves under contract
to allow the Journal run.as a populist
paper, to edit Thomas Watson's Daily
or in any other me mer, to espouse
populism; Hut iook at the “much
discussed contract” and sec how the
parlies thereto are hint rid! And they
“signed it of their own free will, in
their right minds, under the terms
and conditions therein stated.” And
yet they say : “we are democratic from
principle and shall continue so until
wo get new light.” Well, in my opin
ion it will not take such “principle”
long to get “new light”.
They say; “When we purchased
the header outfit, we did so us an in
vestment and not for the purpose of j
running a partisan paper, nor in fact i
any paper whatever and from that. I
time til) this we have had absolutely
no control over the editorial manage-'
incut of the same.”
Now, in reply to the above statement
let me point the public to that “much
discussed contra t.” If (Juincoy k Mc
-I+*4 *iJ**MJtrt!y” m> mivl
over the edibo/ul management of their
paper, the Leader, why should they
sign or have anything, to do with this
contract? That would have been the
province of their lessees. “Figure
head, for instance, who was at that
time, and just previos, the encumbran
cer of the Lcader'cditorial sanctum.
K'cTiTuse it is perfectly legitimate
for <juinccy A McDonald to use their
property as they obligated to do under
this contract. No one has ever denied
that. But 1 do think they are in bad
light, to claim democracy, aspire to,
and hold prominent positions in that
party, and at the same time bind
themselves under secret contract to

Vitality?
The essence of life is force.
Every breathyou brcathc.every
heart heat, every motion ed
your hand, takes force. The
measure of force we call vital
ity. If this is lacking, there is
loss of flesh, lack of resistive
power, a tendency to catch di
sease easily, es eciafiy a tend
ency to Consumption. Fcr low
vitality nothing is better than
Scott's Emu’sion. It supplies
force by furbishing the nourish
ing, strengthening elements of
food in an easily digested form;
enriches the blood, and builds
vq> the system. When ordinary
is of no avail, Scott’s
Emulsion wi.l supply vhc body
with all idu vital e cmeats of life.

espouse the cause of a party whose. !
principal aim, and tight is at democ
racy, prompted by prejudice.' And
yet (hey say ; “in so doing, we have
neither sold'or bartered any pnnciplc
t
whatever” nor “felt the least prick of
condemnation from conseince,” and
tnis part of their letter I concede to be
so, as it is impossible to get blood
from a turnip.
It is appaiont, from the way Quin
cey A- McDonald conducts thei own
paper, the Leader, that they know
nothing of first class journalism, news
paper correspondents and press com
munications ; therefore 1 look with
compassion upon them for having
censure and quarrelled with me so
bitterly, for wiiting under the nomde
plume of T’iay Fair”, and if they
want to kaow my real name very bad
ly, there is a proper way to find out.
I am not ashamed of my production,
nor do they believe i am. They just
simply dislike to have the truth of
this - affair ventilated under a aom de
plume, or otherwise; hence must kick
about something. The bad truth is
what hurls the boys.
And now it is a fact tint that ani
mal with long cars and loud bray is
never mistook for anything else,, but
is known immediately, at all times,
and uudor all circumstances, but a
third party wolf circulating around
in a good old democratic suit of sheep’s
clothing is not so ro tdily detected or
known, anil if 1 liad to be either 1
would choose the former. But let us
see who the former does really lit; We
see an animal circulating around with
a big democratic .lion skin on—it is
true, that his ears stick out rather
prominent, buo this is overlooked from
the fact that the animal roars democ
racy in <il 1 public places. Finally we
punch him with a secret populist con
tract and his reply is a mixture of pop
ulist bray and democratic roar, but
thete is no mistaking him any further
as tiie bray is much the louder.
Last, but not least the statement
that my first ■ communication was
prompted by a pcrsofcal dislike of the
?f the *i n f tjuiuoey k MaDonatd *
absolutely false, but whether J am a
democrat, poyulist or republican does
not matter in. this case. The mere
fact of men claiming to Hie public to
be one thing and binding themselves
under secret contract to help the ene
my oi that thing and of otiicers bind
ing thejHttelvt's' to do a thing, which
cflects the public, whom they are to
serve, itliout even stopping to con
sider or investigate the righteousness
or legality of their actions, is simply a
stench iu th* nostrels of all decency
and liad ought to be condemned by
nil polilicaal creeds, and J believe it
will be. More anon. I‘i.avFair.
