Independent Journalism.
A "declaration of indeprn
deuce," says Judge Tourgee, is
as necessary to a modern jom nal hb
to a new nationality. Just what
"independence " in journalism
means it would be hard to say.
In one sense every man who runs
a printing machine is at liberty to
print just what he chooses, just as
a grocer is free to keep tainted
fish it' he likes and his customers
free to buy elsewhere. This
''independent' journalism in the
abstract means to be 'independent"
of public opinion and public: sup
port, to have an idea and to advo
cate it without any regard to the
influence it may evert on the sale
list or subscription book. Such a
journal was Garrison's Liberator
and the Anli-Slaverv Standard of
a feneration aee: and such is
everv periodical that is founded
and conducted for the purpose of
advertising a particular thought,
principle or interest. In this
sense, an avowedly Democratic
paper in Vermont or straight-out
Republican paper in South Caro
lina, is the most "independent
paper on the globe. They are
maintained .-imply and solely for
the purpose of disseminating
certain doctrine?, and this they
do without regard to conequenees
to the circulation!
Such spccial-i'lea journal are
gieat public educators. Paper
pellets, if thrown long enough und
with enough -elf-forgi-tfulnes-i,
will battle down any Gibraltar of
Mror They may and do shape
and control public thought. Be
ing independent of their readers
they are fit'e to ad i ovate what
their conductors believe, without
reference It) the succ-j-s of the
journal.
In itspteseiit acceptation, how
ever, "independent" journaliMn is
the very le versa of this. To be
"independent now, it is claimed,
is to be without purty, without
sect, without ami, except to secure
and hold a circulation; to be in
hort a "business" journal, which
may be on one side to-day and on
another to-morrow, as its conduc
tors may see fit to change or his
opinions may vary.
Yet "independent" as now used
doe? not mean free from bias. The
journal that most loudly proclaims
it independence is not unfie
qucntly noticeable for its intense
.p.irti.saihip. Xu uu is misled by
the use of I lie teim, because no one
attniiutei to it any significance at
all. It is e. peeled that a leligious
. journal thauproclaiins iiself "inde
pendent f. sect will be a little
narrower and more bigoted than
one that nails its colors to tho
mast, lest some one liouid
throw suspieion on its orthodoxy,
while a political journal thai elain
or mo-t loudly of independent;
may usually be counted on to lam
poon and vilify wjth exceptional
rancor'.
This sou of "independent" jour
nalism is also called 'busines-"
journalism, which i- much nearer
the truth. Journalism, as a pro
fession, is a follower rather than a
leader of "public opinion. ThcHn
dependent" journalist has his eye
forever on the subscription list and
advertising ledger. It is altogether
proper that he should. Thence
cometh his sustenance, and he is a
genuine caterer to the public ap
petite. It is a thoroughly honor
able and legitimate business, ie
gardeil as a business, but it is alto
gelner wrong to attribute to it
judicial impartiality, independence
of thought in any legitimate sense,
or a mission to enlighten public
opinion. It goes where the wind
of public sentiment blows it. andia
a weather-gauge tatlier than a
guide post. It is quite light that
it should be'so. A vane may be
useful as a Mgu-board, but their
functions are not the same and
should never be confounded.

There seems to bo no ground i
tor tho hopo, in which soaie por- j
sons indulge, that congress will ad-

indications, savs tho Vindicator.
that the session will continue un-j
til tho middle of July. Mr. His-
cock and his committee havo the t
general appropriation bills well in :
hand, and supply them faster than
they can be passed, but there are j

must consume time. The House
will soon take up the Tariff Com
mission bill, and it isaid that 100 '
speeches will be delivered before,
a vote is reached, if full discussion
is allowed. Much of the HouseV
time is consumed each week by i
the assignments for the introduc
tion of bills, the presentation of
reports, and action upon private
bills. There are only three days
each week in which real progre-s
can be made with any important
bill. The commission bill may
demand the attention of the house
for a month. If it is passed, some
reduction of internal taxation will
be demanded. The recent de-'
eisioti of the supreme court will I
cause efforts to be made to revise '
the sugar tariff at this session. If
the commission bill be defeated,
the hou-e will be brought
face to face with the ques
tion of tariff revision and
a long discussion cannot be,
avoided. There is also the
bill to begin the construction of a
new navy, the Geneva Award bill,
the bills for postal savings banks
and steamship 'mail subsidies, the
Inter-State Commerce bill, the bill ;
for extending the existence of t
National banks, the bill to -end J
all private claims, to the eouit of!
claims, and others which will come
before tho House and will consume
much time. Congressmen who
desire le-electiou will earnestly
support bills for the benefit of
their constituents at this session.
On the other hand, the reappoint
ment of districts in several
states may lead some Congress- j
men to seek an early adjournment
in warder that they may become
acquinted with the new distribu
tion. It does not seem probable,
however, that they can get awav
before July 1st at the earliest.
