NEWS PEETEBBED TO POLITICS.
Candidates seeking office are
crazy to get elected, and being
possessed with one absorbing idea,
they naturallv lose the exercise of
sound judgment. The newspaper
man cannot afford to follow these
people in their will o' the wisp
chase after office. Candidates may
come and go, but the newspaper
runs on forever, if it doesn t
run against a stump in us uevo
tion to partisan politics. In small
towns the newspaper has enough
to do in noting local happenings,
advocating necessary improve
ments and working for the com
mon good. The editor may have
his own views of the tariff, be in
dignant at the suppression of
the negro vote in the south,
and perhaps view with alarm the
accumulation of the surplus in the
treasury. But there is no sense in
losing his temper over these issues
and adopting them as a war cry.
If he has intelligent ideas ot his
own, let him express them; ad
dressing his readers daily (or
weekly), as is his duty, it is be
coming in him to give them usoful
food for reflection, liut they do
not want him to be a slave to
party. His readers may be many
or fw, but each ono of them has
his own views of things. They
do not go to the editor as their po
litical prophet or counselor. They
read his articles perhaps, if they
are worth that attention, and ap
prove or condemn as their judgment
prompts, but are rarely converted
by his reasoning. If the editor is
ambitious to make converts, he
can only win adhesion by a state
ment of facts backed with an ex
position of principles which im
press the mind with their weight.
Mere clamor will not convince.
Stalwart Republican articles
clipped from the Chicago Inter
Ocean, or rabid Democracy taken
from the Courier-Journal, have
no effect. Let him forge his own
thunderbolts, but bear in mind
that his readers look for a cheerful
visitor in his paper, and would
rather have news in Ins local col
umns and sound reasoning in his
editorial space than political bun
combe or partisan wrath. Jour
nal. Bernards Prom Robert.
"Bob" Ingersoll defines the tar
iff situation as follows. "The m.i
jority in this country do not be
lieve in free trade. A large ma
jority think it of the utmost impor
tance to diversify and protect,
when necessary, the industries of
our people. A large majority in
my judgement, think the tariff
ought, in many particulars, to be
reformed. They know that ever)1
tariff bill that has ever boen pas
sed has been more or less deformed
by compromise. They know that
all the interests asking for protec
tion combined and that some inter
ests that ought not to be protected
secured it by threats and intimida
tion. Thatis, they said: 'If you do not
protect us we will vote not to pro
tect you.' So that the desi-rvinj
industries have, been compelled to
include many that were undeserv
ing, fcivery success has Us para
sites. Some people are willing to
destroy the success for the sake of
killing the parasites, but the great
majority do not feel like injuring
themselves do not feel like sacri
ficing a great good for the sake of
destroying a small evil. So much
money has been invested, so many
people find employment, so many
interests are interwoven with and
depend upon tho industries that
aro protected, that anything like
free trade will bring, for a time at
least, a ruin that would never be
repaired except by resorting again
to protection."
Queer Kits and Starts.

A LIFE WITH A LESSON.
There is an invaluable lesson in
the newspaper reports of the
effect produced by Conkliug's
death. No young man beginning
life and hesitating between princi
ple and policy, can afford to neg
lect it.
Roscoe.Conkling was, above all
things, a man of principle. He
was aggressive and intolerant in
asserting what he believed to be
right. He never, in tho whole
course of his life, had any meroy
tor time-servers or trimmers. He
hewed straight to tho line he had
marked out for himself, without
regard to the consequences to him
self or others. "When ho was one
of the powers behind the throne
during the reconstruction period
he never for an instant abated ono
jot of his purpose to secure to tho
north and to the freedman the full
results of tho war, though his
course caused some northern mer
chants to denounce him as im
practicable, and southern ex-confederates
to declare that ho was
vindictive. He would not listen
to any talkof compromise or treaty
with those who had betrayed the
country. To him certain Dme
ocrats wero still rebels. When
others wavered when Raymond
got up his Philadelphia convention,
and Greeloy accepted the Dem
ocratic nomination Conkling
Stood up all the straighter, liko a
great "sequoia, against whose mas
sive trunk weak men might lean,
and under whose spreading branch
es the faint-hearted might gather.
It may be said of him thai never
once in his wholo career did he
perform an act or speak a word for
tho purpose of gaining favor or
popularity, or, indeed, from any
other motive than a conviction
that he was right.
Now he is dead, and people are
passing sentence on him. With
one accord all men speak in his
oraise. The dispatoh which was
sent him from the senate chamber
expressing a hope that he would
recover was signed by the very
southern Demoerats who had
struggled for the destruction of the
uuion. Of his nine pall-bearers,
four are Democrats. In the Re
publican state convention of Ohio,
the meinor' of the man who had
denounced Garfield's administra
tion was so ienderly cherished that
one who ventured to criticize him
was nearly thrown out of the win
dow. The very men who com
plained of his domineering be
havior, and of his unwillingness to
conciliate an etiemy with smooth
words, aro now tho first to do hon
or to his name and pronounce
him the typical American states
man. Whatever they may want
ia their living leaders, it seems that
the quality they admire most in
them when they are dead is honest
fearlessness. In a political con
vention, filled with persons to
whom the spoils are of more im
portance than principles, the man
who is most "available" may poll
the most votes. But when men's
eyesight clears, and the film of
office is brushed away, tho avcrago
American chooses for his hero tho
leader who never flinched and
never bartered his sense of right
for political honors.
