WHAT CONSTITUTES A NEJW3PAP13R It I a wonder that an Inkling of the Inxufllcienry of any tcheme to Increase circulation othei than the steady day-by-day or week-by-weck making of a news paper good enougSj to attract readers do j not oftcner enter the acute brains of newspaper managers- During1 the past four or Ave years there have been myrl.rd.i of schemes concocted to Induce people to buy newspapers. Many news papers have risen to more or less dizzy heights of prosperity, and have gradually sunk again to the level of their merits a i newspapers. Borne, Indeed, have shrewdly recognized the Illusory nature of the promises held out by the coupon, the book, the picture, and other devices, and have used them merely to attract attention to their" substantial! merits. These have profited permanently. Put for ono thnt lias followed the schemes with leal Improvement, and thus held some of the transitory readers, there aro scores that Ivivo not done anything of the sort, and have gained nothing but an unpleas ant experience. There to but one way to boom circulation that Is really worth con sidering. It Is to mlake a ;rooJ paper. Everybody feels the need of a. newspaper, and everybody Is going to buy the best newspaper offered him according to his basis of Judgment of which the best Is. N e wnpa pordotn. As Newjpnperdom sensibly suggests, It U a mb.tako to suppose that anything tout superior performance of tho news paper function of honestly printing the new.i can give permanent advantage to one newspaper over another. It la like wise a blunder, sometimes made, to be lieve that popularity and success can be gained by envious snarling at the heels of a successful1 competitor, by persistent ly and malignantly llbelljng and coarsely 'buli)g a contemporary. The malicious and venomous crtietit loses the business advantage of the Indirect advertising of references to It In the more widely cir culated newspaper, Xor no self-respecting paper pays attention to such dis charges of filth In Its direction, any moro 'than the wine farmer resents the demon strations of ai fkunk; and tfhe percentage rf respectable readers amonj tho sub scribers to such, a publication noon be come tired and distrusted with a liter ary diet which starves them n. to news and stuffs them to repletion with spite ful llliels and lying b'.ack-guai-JIsmj. Senator fctiinil.iiil, Mll.'s objects to the silver whli'h ilio holds five coinage would mean, on the ground that It won defrau.l a.l iv.lltorii out of one-liulf ot the value of their debts. The only'beiie fit 'that would come from ivolng to II hllver standard would ufTcvt tho man wh oive.i a. dollar and wants to pay It with CO cents, Henuto-r Mills m ikt's llu utl dUlonn! argument that If this country Is to trndo on cyual terms with other eoun ti les, the common , measu.-o of value s.tjuld be 'ft near as posslb'.e on a par with that of other nations, whose me dlums of fxchange are sound. As the silver standard lit not tho .-MandurJ ot countrliM ivlth wJi'loi: we conduct out grcatcjt eomnrMco, It will not do. After further arguments to sustain his new po sltlon, Senator ailKU concludes by say Ing: "We liave that stable, liivUrla'il standard of value noiv-u. currency destl tute of flexibility or elasticity -anti there Is nothing wanting: for Its Improvement but the substitution of halWM, quarters and Hm in the place of national bank notes, and a continued coinage of silver In Its amount as to keep It at par with gcl'.l. The bank nolo houl.l go, because It Is based upon the exlstem-a and con llnuutlon of the public debt. To this the pinntor deoAirea himself opposed as an evil whose existence to a peril to good government.

TO MR, JAME3 J. HILL. Northwest Magazine. You have tong 'been regarded its the foremost railroad man In the Northwest. Beginning with the control of two little bankrupt roads that rain out upon the prairies and stopped becauje they could go no farther, you have developed an Imnumse flystem aggregating nearly 6.000 mile of track and reaching almost every Important traffic point between tho twin cities of Minnesota and the liores of Puget sound. By the building of your roads you have attracted population into vat districts of country that were form- er.y a wilderness. You have created towns and cities and have drawn a great agricultural population to riglons which, but a few yean ago, were oc cupied only by the Indian and the buffalo. You are the foremost citizen of our city and state and your fellow citizens look upon your career aa a rem.irluible ex ample of the success that rewards great ability, great energy and great concen tration of purpose. A little while ago you were a most active and Intelligent champion of competition In railway ser vice. You 'built a road to the head of Lako Superior to compete with two ex isting lines. You grldironed the Red Itlver Valley with your roads. When you built your Montana Central line you talked to the people of Helena about the great blessings they would derive from a road competing with the North ern Pacific. When you pushed your Pa olo extension ov.r the Itocky Mountains you m'ado the people of Spoaano believe that the greatest possible benefit to their city would como from the entrance of your line. You frightened them with the suggestion that you might leave Spo kane at one side. They raised about a quarter of a million dollars, In money and lots, to procure and present to you the righto of wuy and terminal facilities you required. You talked to the people ot tieattlo In tTie pama manner to per suade them to give yju the nestled en trance to their city and the wharf and depot faclllllis you desired. You were not deceiving these pc-oplo at tho time. You knew perfectly well and they knew perfectly well that a competing line of tians-contlnontttl railway would be a very great udvahtago to their business Interests. Has anything occurred to chang the situation? Is not tullway competition Just ns good a thing now us it was three years ago when we celebrated here In Kt. Paul the completion of your (Ireat North ern road to the Pacifls coaat? Have you forgotten the great honors paid you on that occasion? Those honors were well earned. With extraordinary courage and energy and with remarkable ability In organizing tln.iiieial resource.1), you hud built the Pacific road. Tho merchants ot Ht. Paul -and Minneapolis, and of the cities nt the head of Like Huperi ir. and of the young cities of the state of Wash ington, felt that you were a public bene factor. With hearty accord tlioy swelled the chorus of your prals". In January last, as It now appears, you made an entire change In your atti tude towards the railway business ot the Northwest. You then set to work td dt-stroy the competition In transporta tion service, which you yourself bad, to a large extent, entiled, and for w'.lch you were held In high honor and esteem b your follow citizens. Through your hank era In New York you began the nego tiations with th.i Deutcho bank In Iier 11 n which resulted) In the mnnslruoa scheme for consolidating tho Northern Ricllle system with your own system and thus creating a gigantic re.llway monop oly In five, elates, to be operated under your roltt management and control. T you were aj public benefactor three year.--ao when you opened a new route from St. Paul to the 'l-nellle coast to com pete with the old 'Northern PoclnV, In what light must your fellow eitlz.-ns now regard yon? You know what a hixb value the Northwestern people et upor competition In railroad transportation. You know how carefully they have trlet! to guard agu.lnst the consill.l.wion of competing lines by constitutional end statutory provisions. Is It wind and right f-r you, as the foremost citizen of the Northwest, to attempt, either by direct action or by Indirect methods, to vlo late the laws under which you have pros pered? Ai'.t you not as much bound t obey thm aa th humblest laborer Ir your employ? Kwrythlng that you ve aecompllfhtil In your brilliant career ran been achieved under the protection uf the ''aws. How can you expect your train nen and trackman to repect, In timm of strikes omd great public excltoivnit, tt-e 'uws whl.'h protect your property, If you engage In an effort to defy and vlolite the laws which protect the farmers iinO the business men of the Northwest In the enloymtiit of the advantages of lullnay competition? It appears that no mm ever gts enough In this world ot ours. You con trol one of the greatest railway syrti-ins In the world. You are ivpntd to h worth,' -twenty million. of dollars. You own the tlne.-t houau In the Northwest, tho costliest pictures, the rarest Jt (, tho 'best hort.es. You hav farms and forests And mines. You have great steamers upon tho Inland seas l-lvrry good thing on earth Is at your eom irijid. Why not be satisfied with what you have, and lot otluir people Mvo and orosper In thlfl 'Northwestern com. try without the fear that your ambitious schemes may vulm 'their btmlinss tr curtail their conveniences and nj,iy. Tnts? In th natural order of things vou cannot have- great many jcars more to pun In tills stage of existence. and when you go to the next uoi'd you wl.l not be able to take -any railroads with you. AVOID IEBT. I obfi-vt l recently In a dally piper ptibl'oh-tl lu a city of ten thousand in v'..'jltant, this statement: 'There are five hundred ptcpl on the bl'u-klljt of the trnders In this community." Dry I goods men, grocers, butchers, milliners. all the shop keepers Ja.nl combined and they made weekly and monthly reports to their 'headtiuartcrs of every m in ana woman In the community who would run a bill ami then falling to pay would go to fcoir. other ntore of tho wrat kind r run another b!.:. These traders re ft ivej ei'tltt to every person whose name win on th b'aekllst. and flv hundred made one-tenth of the whole population that community. Thotarh It wis con- tKh-rtd u prosperous town, there were paupers In It, the poorest people lived In comfortable houses and there was every indication of thrift in tOte appear ance of the people and general ton of the community. As Poor Richard says Dgxn, "It you would know the Value ot money, go and borrow nome." If ono will' be Independent in business and have a free course In the world he must be self-reliant and build up a sturdy, strong manhood. One Is strong who U conscious that If all the business of the world around him should fail his possessions will abide because he has no debts to pay. A panic cannot hurt such an ono except in the volume of his t.-UKle. His home will continue to be a shelter for his family and no man can touch It. His occupation may be gone for a time, but "no debts to pay" will be the sweetest song that can ring In his soul a the days and months go rolling lalong. Such a man is ready for the rice of life -when opportunity presents itself. He Is a free man and It Is free dom which contributes to the enjoyment as well as to the prosperity of life. It will help to banltfh care and keep grief away. Abov '1 things avoid debt. Har vey L. Bldd.e, :n the Chautauquan for September. THE THIRD T13KM I'ROJEfJT. Pioneer IVess. A performance scarcely ever surpassed In audacity Is the declaration of Senator Gray in favor of the re-election of Presi dent Cleveland. As tho most submissive of all the Cuckoo tribe, Mr. Gray was obviously tho most lit person as per haps he was the only De-nocrat of prom inence Who would1 consent to affront American opinions by declaring that Mr. Cleveland's services were so Illustrious that lie uught to have the honor which had been given to Washington or to Irant. AVashlngtoii refused a third elec tion for patriotic and most honorable rea.'on?, which, In spite of Senator Gray's eophlstry. hold good still. Grant was stoutly supported by a body of friends, but It doM not appear that he personally sought or consented to accept the ques tionable honor. For a most questionable honor It would always be if a president having his party by the throat through his otllclel mercenaries, should extort from it a nomination in violation of all precedents and instincts. Now that this thing has been formally propcf.eJ, nnd by a. man known to echo the president's wishes, as if devoid f a mind of his own. It might be the best thing for the country on every account to have the experiment tried to the end. Let us have a president nominated for a third term and see where ho will come out. Senator Gray sets up this pitifully frivolous claim, that American tradition forbids only three consecutive terms for the same man, and he claims that the Cleveland who was president first be came a private citizen, and waa washed clean, so to speak, of 'all restriction's ns to re-election when ha was defeated in l&SS. He has again been elected for the first time like any other citizen and Is entitled to re-election if hla services nierit that confidence, as any other presdent might be elected for a second continuous term. Mr. Gray had some reputation as a lawyer, but will certainly lose most of hla reputation for common sens by advancing an 'argument eo shallow and pettifogging In character. He Is false to history In saylncr that the principal objection In "Washington's case sprang from tho doubt whether the new rcpjublc would stay a republic. On the contrary, 'President Washington him self et forta in the dearest ter ns the other and permanent objection, that a possessor ot the appointing power, hold ing that high place for eight years, would be apt to control enough political in fluence to distort and unnaturally sway the political action of the people. There would come to be, he wisely fore-waw, a species of dictatorship within nnd be hind the forms of self-governm nt, so that the trained and hired officials, hold ing their olHces at the pleasure of the prtnlJert nilnlit continue for an Indefinite ! period, for a fourth or a fifth, as well as u third term, to re-elect the man to Whom they owed their positions. Tills sort of thing President Washington right fully Judged, was not only contrary to American instincts, but distinctly hostile to the best Interests of the Republic. It ten lctl to estnbllf h, not a monarchy, not any formal' chance of the form ot gov ernment, but behind the republican form a practical despotism In the bands of one man, continued and maintained through the persons holding office at hlJ will. It Is exactly this .sort of thing which the people will resent If It Is attempted In behalf of Presdent Cleveland or any body el.e. Perhaps it would ba the btei thing possible to havo the Democratic party nominate Mr. Cleveland in order to fee how far he wouldi fall behind lis natural strength, being a, candidate for re-elet-tl'in under -fuchi circumstances. It inn.-! be prcrumed. In the- light of the utest dictions, that ony nomination by the D.-.nocratlc party Is likely to enl in Jt'fcat. Mr. Cleveland might as well be beaten as anybody else. Nevertheless, the tivt would help to show how far tho mericiin people are willing to set aside all traditions and Instincts Inherited from tie earlier days of the republic, In obedi ence to the desire of ofllee holders to re elect the man from whom they bold their lucrative petitions. And then it might be well, moreover, to get definitely ttste.1 by a popular decision the ques tion nhrther the policy of Mr. Cleveland n continuously urged Is that which the people resent and have condemned at the polls, or only the policy which members if his party In congress have attempted to carry out. In many ways the lesson vould be Instructive, and perhaps the Democrats may concent to servo the -ountry by giving It a chance to show Just what It thinks, first of President Cleveland, and second of a third term. "Where did those Infernally ugly nock les come from?'1 he asked. "Why, Mary," he responded, tearfully, "I thought they were so pretty and you wil d like them. I bought them for 21 ens, at Mlnduroff, Xlcholfon Bangs' 'tduced from i"." "Yes, Mary, I could 'face any danger with you as my support," he cried, '.hro.vlng himself Into her strong arms. Just then a. mousse, ran across the room, and with a scream he sprang from her and Jumped on the sofa. THE HEAVY END OF A MATCH. "Mary," said Farmer Flint at the breakfast tablo as he asked for a second cup of coffee, "I've made a discovery." ' "Well, Cyrus, you're about the last one I'd expect of such a thing, but what Is It?" "I have found that the heavy end of a match is the light end," responded Cyrus with a grin that would have adorned a skill. Mary looked disgusted, but with an air or triumph quickly retorted, "I've got a tMseowry, too, Cyrus. It wis made by nr. H. V. Pierce, and Is called a "Golden Medical Discovery." It drive away blotches and pimples, purifies the blood, tones up the system and makes ono feol brand-new. AVhy, It cured Cousin Ken who had consumption and was almost re duced to a skeleton. Before his wife be gan to use It she was e. pale, sickly thing, but look at her: she's ro-y-cheeked and healthy, and weighs 165 pounds. That, Cyras, is a discovery that's worth something."

"In the heart of the treat deser). ot the Colorado whioh the Southern Pa cifio road traverses there is an oasis called Indio, which, In our opinion, it the sanitarium of the earth. We be lieve, from pursonal investigation, that for certain Invalids, the-e is no spot oi this planet so favorable." O. T. Stewart, 11.

As to its possibilities a. a health resort, here is the moet jer feet sunshine, with a temperature al ways pleasant, a perfectly dry soil for rain is an unknown factor: pure oxygen, denpo atmosphere and pure water, what more can be desired? It is the place, above all others, for lung troubles, and a paradise for rheu matics.
