The Spider and the Tty. Wba > is the remedy? A joint resolution by this congress declaring that no radical ch nge shall he made in the tariff during its life would restore business.— Letter >f Senator Frye to the New York Press. “Won’t yon walk into my parlor?” said tin spl ier to the fly. "’Batin* prettiest little parlor that ever yon dk spy." Said th< voter to the spider: "I really most say na * My fatk ;r's blood was sacked away In Juqt tht t very way. "Hewn & worthy man and good, and toiled all tin day; Much w >rk he did and willingly, for very little pay, » of t tat little spiders took from every doliar tithe. In dntie t laid on all we wore.

It’s the most amusing spectacle a newspaper man encounters to see a man who, from some fancied or implied wrong in a newspaper item, flies to the office, settles the bill, stops the paper, and struts out as though he had driven the last nail in^he coffin of the, editor's success and the whole outfit now was only waiting lor the "undertaker or sheriff to put it forever out of sight. These people do not understand that where five of them drop ofl‘ because of an Item, twenty of them catch on because it pleases them. Such items are usually the ones that make the paper of value to the community. A paper that is afraid of a few ordinary* people with a little money is of no use to the general public. It is the fearless editor who owes no fealty to any clique that makes a valuable paper to the citizens of the town he lives in. The poorest man’s subscription is of just as much account as the millionaire’* and the fact is no one or a dozen men ever succeeded in breaking a’ paper by withdrawing their subscriptions.
