FREE SPEECH THROTTL ED.

spun Will WHICH many pTOIulucut Jour-
mails Of the country refer to the arrest
Of Geo. F. Train. on the occasion of the
late Sumner meeting at Boston. He
was called out by many of his admirers
and on taking the stand was hustled
of bareheaded by the police to station
No. 9, and thrust in like q common
felon.
Now Train may have the big head,
or mania for speech. making but IT
speaks very little for the liberty of a
audience that they would not allow
him to be heard upon the stand, for the
simple reason that they knew he would
speak in opposition to MIR. Sumner
vino had just left the stand. And this
in Faneuil Hall, the cradle Of liberty,
whose walls have echoed, fer scores of
years to the most eloquent champion
ship Of the right Of free speech F!
Bostonians have made themselves
ridiculous. If they did not want any
Training, they could have left the hall.
The events Of that evening, however,
are stain on the city Of Boston, which
cannot be rubbed out.-Neyth Lo,ca
Times.
In attrocity, how can the case of Mr..
Train compare with the arbitrary acts
Of the Administration? If the despotic
act of the Boston Police, entities that
city to an immortality of infamy (which
cannot be rubbed OUT, pray tell us how
much less infamy the similar arrests of
Abraham Lincoln, have brought upon
the American government!
County PAPERs.-We have before
US a'copy of the Taylor's Falls Repor-
err, published in the St, Croix Valley
in this State, but frcm its advertising
columns are unable to gather the least
idea of the size or amount of business
done there. We find in it notice of
one dry goods store /; a lime kiln /;
matchmaker cabinet shop tin shop;
milliner store, and one or two lawyers
cards. From the home patronage Of
the paper We should say Taylor's
Falls contained about hundred in.
habitants. People have a mistaken
idea oflocal newspapers. When the
business men Of aplace realize as they
should that the local paper benefits
place according to its circula ton, they
have lcarneda valuable lesson. The
village paper sh ,uld be mirror of the
place-should give these abroad an idea
of what is done aud who is doing it in
the town where published. If the pa
per could show: II hundred men or firms
in business, people would at once say
that village was prosperous one. If
on the contrary it be compelled to fill
up with love stories in large type, Or
with prospectuscs of New York papers
the reader, at distance, naturally
thinks the town sort of dead hole
wherein reside scedy gamblers and
played out real estate spectators. If
business men in a village would take
Of each issue Of their weekly paper. a
dozen copies and send them to different
friends in the east, the investment
would pay.
The village paper is a weekly mes
senger going forth into the world, pro-
claiming to thousands never seen or
thought of by the editor, the resources
and current business of the place where
published, as we'll as the energy of its
inhabitants. Patronage extended to
local papersis never thrown away. If
the paper is a live one, readers at a
distance see in it the reflection of the
place: and in time the distant village
becomes familiar through the local
press, and at last, tired Of bis locality
in the far off east, the reader starts for
q new home among those he knew by
reputation.
A neat looking paper well filed with
home advertisements and local advcr-
tisements and local items indicate a
live town and thrifty people, as clean
house and clean faced childsen indicate
neat wife and mother or ss children
