SATURDAY MAY i.7. 18S2
J.F. HAIXOKAX Editor, i
Aspirants For Political Offices.
Mex who own newspapers never
ought to be candidates for political ;
office. It is ajrostituticm of jour
nalism for personal ends. The
great mistake of Horace Greeley's
life was that he aspired as. a news
paper man to office, Fromtheday"
he consented to become a Presi
dential candidate his career as a
journalist was closed. He was
never the same man afterward.
He died in a few brief months, a
broken-hearted man. X either
ought the managers or stock hold
ers in great corporations to be can
didates for political offices. If they
seek such place? they are sure to
employ capital and corporation
agencies to insure an election.
They never can under such cir
cumstances, represent the people.
The moral of the whole business is
well understood. The incumbent
has cither created or employed il
legitimate machinery to elevate
him to office. He owes allegiance
to that capitalized machinery that
has created him. .
It has, says the Bulletin, come
10 be a favorite plan of operations
on the part of ambitious candi
dates, who have vastly more con
fidence in the machinery created
by capital than in the people, to se
cure a newspaper ortran as a sort
of hydraulic lift to elevate them to
the desired position. A vat deal
of pumping is required, and some
times the lift is not strong enough
to accomplish the purpose. What
kind of an idea does-a political as
pirant have of the province of jour
nalism who buys a newspaper for
the sole purpose of making it the
special organ of his election to of
fice? of who" employs the ma
chinery which capital alone can
procure for that purpose? A jour
nal which can be secured for such
a purpose can never be a newspa
per in the better sense, and never
an organ of public opinion upon
any -footing to command public
confidence. It may have the ad
vantage of capital and oven exhibit
enterprise. But it is attacked by
a fatal diseaso, as sure to work
mischief as the woolly aphis at the
root of an apple tree. It is impos
sible for any journal thus handi
capped and hampered to get above
a certain dead level. It is a mere
person'al organ, and so long as it is
that it can be nothing more.
An Iron Tree.
The iron palmetto at Columbia,
S. C., i described as Veing a
casting wholly of iron, cointnnno
rating th- death of many of C.i'0
lina's slain, whose names ntv found
in raised letters on two iir.iss tali-
leta at the base. Tho success of
this casting consists in its perfect
imitation of tho living phnctto
the favorite tree of South Caro
lina. "We- had heard .ji this
statue in other places, says
tne courier, out had never
been able to believe the
stories of the flexible leaves bend
ingln the breeze, supposing this
phenomenon an optical delusion,
but such is really the case. The
long, thin leaves of iron, life-like
eTen to the hair-like fibres of tho
twigs and branches, wave tremu
lously in. every zephyr, and the
whole tree, painted artistically,
has so close a resemblance to the
real tree as to deceive the acutcst
observer at the distance of five
rods.
