Owing to tailing health I will be torced to abandon, temporarily, my post in the Times office, and have, therefore, decided to take a trip through the’ West to be absent a couple or three months. This does not mean that I have either sold or eased the Times office, as has been industriously circulated, perhaps, for some hostile purpose. From this date I leave the manage- ment of the Times office inthe hands of J. D. Allen and J. R. Davis, men whom I fee! can be trusted to any extent, and have, therefore, em- powered them to make any and all contracts they may deem necessary to carry on the gaper- Respectfully, Cuas. T. McFARLAND. —————EE POLITIOIANS AND NEWSPAPERS. In most every community there are anumber ef politicians, or at least they wouid like-to-be politi- | cians, some too. well up, perhaps, in financial standing and __ influence, who affect td»be specially friendly to somé one of the newspapers pub- lished 1m the town or city, as the case may be, m which they live. These men are always ambitious to distin- guish themselves as shrewd. politi- cal wire-pullers, have the office fe- ver generally and sometimes get Naturally enough they have enemies inside their own party lines wellorganized and frequently strong- er than themselves hecause possessing plenty of backbone. there. This class of politicians always | want to tack themselves to a news- paper asa potentally or mouthpiece. In private conversation among them they deride the opposition and depreciate the effect of its influ- ence on the party. They love their party and their devotion sequires some sacrifice, but they prefer some- body else be laid on the alter. They call the newspaper man aronnd the corner and aim to seduce him with “taffy.’’ The situation is explained in asubtle manner and he is expected, of course, to tumble to the racket. They want free puffs without stint. Their ‘*slate’’ is made known and the good-natured editor is expected to selves give it his ‘‘influence’’—a quiet sup- ! port. All this is done in the inter- est of the newspaper, certsinly. Time rolls on and the newspaper miinager sees an opportunity where these devoted friends can render him assistance. Relying on his confi- dence in them he goes at once and solicits their influence with some in- | dividual, county officer for instance | or corporation. Maybe he might | want them to assist ‘in electing him | 2 delegate to, a convention or some other position of honor min- us cmolument. ? ‘ The answer given evasive, doubttul, ambiguous. . Their -‘posis H tion’’ is such ‘that: ‘they can’t take | ay part, but wind up with a prem- | ise to do what they can, which means i m_unadulterated English. xothang. ' Their reasoning is plain. But it is} not théir -‘positian”” that ties* their hands, itis a want-.of backbone. They are afraid of the “‘opposition,”* that’s al. Though honest in their effcrts and pursuing the right courses possibly, in trying to eradicate the evils of their party, they ‘actomplish nothing because lacking the courage necessary. “They clamor tor change and swear the, tricksters are carrying the party to the devil, . but i its all talk and nothing more: - They} want things reversed in their. favor 1 and to the best interests of all, but! they expect the newspaper to do the | i is> | “| the result is they hold the fort.

During all this time the ‘top- position’’ stands square up to the jgack and don’t budge an inch and Politicians, the moral to the above i | have do unto you. them 5! would have him help fight your bat- | tles, and don’t get scared and hunt ; ““opposi- i your holes every time the | tion’’ shakes a Stick in vour face. FLAX STRAW. As a general thing farmers in this country do notrealize the importance | of saving their flax straw. Hereto- fore no attention has been given that part of their product because there appeared to be no demand tor it. | There is now a demand for it. For sometime past correspondence has been in progress between a promi- nent business man in this city and a representative of a foreign company, whose business is the purchase and manufacture of flax straw. This representative is now in Illinois ‘and in all probability will visit this county soon. He states in a recent letter that a flax mill will be erected in this city that will consume all the flax straw in the county. This gentleman suggests that every farmer having flax should, when he threshes the ‘same, have it well stack- ed so that rain will not damage it. He adds that theré will be no ques- tion about the demand being as great as the supply, and the price will be avout $3.00 per ton. Every farmer will readily see that it will justify him to preserve his flax straw instead of throwing it away, as has been the ’ custom heretofore. The establishing of a millin this city will be a permanent thing, and flax straw will in all probability be -in great demand in the future. There- fore, farmers, save your flax straw ahd you will get paid for it. St. Louis Republican: Our turns up to date of the Delegates to the Dernocratic State convention em- brace those trom 62 counties on ‘the subject of the supreme judgeship. | Uf these go counties are for Sher- wood; 7 for cravens; (Sherwood } second choice m one); 8 for Martin (Cravens second choice in one) as (Marion) for Redd; and six known. According to our count the delegates stand Sherwood, 137; Cravens, 19; Martin, 29; Redd, 6. This does not include Jackson (14), reported largely for Sherwood. There are outside ot the city of St. Louis 114 counties inthe state, ana 212 votes will nominate in Fe- ua- | conyention. The Times has heard many com- plaints ot the condifion of the bridge over the ravine atthe crossing of Ohio and Academy streets.
