the Aint-ik 111 Is such an IrrrJtruiahlr, In
rMUs.ible, irritating Hat lli.it this matter
lest. Ives llrll Into a ipiestlon of rll de
leiisr lur this paper to iiccalnuallv call at
tention to its t.uti.s.
Of iiiurse, vh it Is said ot the American
applies to Its editor, oik- hdw.ird hveiell
YnuiiKi ho niiltrs that paper displcahle.
I he lte note ol hispnlic Is to pretend to
he all that is admirable, to cnntluuilly
sound Ills own praises and hrlltile others,
lie Is not a I'li.illsre; lit-does not btlleve
that he Is better than olheis, hut thinks
that bv coutluiiallv declaring such to be
the ease he t.m nt.i tc others believe it.
He Would, .ipp.ilt-utlv, t.illlcr serlll to lie
lll.iu to It.
In Illustrate, In abandon generalities
and deal with tails, let's investigate a
p.il.tgraph or two in the last isscr of the
American. Aunlitnil.il makes t lit insin
uating claim lli.il an adveitlsemrut in tliat
paprr Induced soiueliody to buv all the
stiuk olletrd lor sale in the Calilornla '
Mining company. I he lads In the case
ate these: When the gentlemen who are
pinmntiug that very excellent proposition
went east to secute capital for the develop
inrnt ot the mine, they ordered a number
til papers sent to the addiesses ol those
whom tliev were endeavoring to Interest.
This was continued lor some weeks. Fi
nally they instructed their Iik-I represen
tative to stop sending the paper to any
one with whom thev weie trying to do
business; stating that I' had "knocked"
several deals. I-very Issue is tilled with
aciusatinns nt the dishonesty of ptoinl
nriit iltiens and cowaidly insinuations
ni disreputable pi. tellers ol somebody.
This shakes the loulideuce In the people
of this distikt ol those who don't know
the character and motives ot the man who !
writes Muli stud, and much damage has
been dour to Sumpter and the surmund
lug coiiutiy by the distribution of tills
brand of llterattne. Hut this is the mis I
sion ol the paper. It was bought and is
bring mil as the oigan nt the "bears,"
the "knockeis."
Young wants to get out a sprcial edition
nl the Auiriicau In do as much damage as ,
possible at the I'.in-Ameilcnu exposition
and, incidentally, to lllili ll.iili this com-1
inuiiltv out ol wliat money there is in it.
So he seats himself with pen In hand, and
wtttrs a coiumuiilc.iti.iu tiom a "Working

Oiue again, litis takir hungers and
thiists lor political recognition. His
scheme Is to get in with the winning side.
lll.lt Is Wliy lie Is a repilDIICnU tor llle
time being, and that is wliy he licked
Harvey Scott's boots until recently. All
duilngthe senatoilalcoutest, he published
no word tor or against any candidate.
He was Intently studying the situation,
hoping to connect himsell in some way
with the glided musical vehicle. This is
the way he did it. He went down to Port-
laud and Salem near the close of the srs
sion and when Mltchrll waselected.stepped

an Item giving him the credit of Mitchell's
election. I his lie reprinted in the Ameri-1
