We have never been greatly in
favor of bi-ennial sessions of the
legislature, but if the state is to
be imposed upon as it has been by
the members of the present legis

Yellow Jack, savs a preacher,
came at a newspaper man in this
way: “You editors do not tell the
truth. If you did you could not
live; your newspapers would be a
failure.” The editor replied : “You
are right, and the minister who
will at all times and under all cir
cumstances tell the whole truth a-
bout his members, alive or dead,
will not occupy his pulpit more
than one Sunday, and then he will
find it necessary to leave town in
a hurry. The press and the pulpit
go hand in hand, with whitewash
brushes and pleasant words mag
nifying little virtues into big ones.
The press, the pen and the grave
stone are great saint-making tri
umvirate. ” And the great minis
ter went away looking very
thoughtful, while the editor turn
ed to his work and told of the sur
passing beauty of the bride, while
m fact she was as homely as a
mud fence.
Upon orders of walking dele

in the non-union men fleeing for
safety. Several men were hurt.
