will be a sorry day when all newspapers
in the rural districts are SO mercenary
and sycophantic as the Messenger
wishes them to be. The press IS po-
tent agent for good or ILL., 1t ought
to be free from fealty to all cliques or
and hold itself free to
condemn or commend acts as in ITS
best Judgment they may deserve
praise or censure.
Thus much we have to say at pres
ent upon the toadyism which charac-
terizes more journals than the Iwi-
light or second edition of the Burning
ton Daily Times which is printed at
the Messenger establishment in St. Al
bans. We regret that this article has
occupied SO much space. We mean
in the conduct Of This Journal to keep
within the bounds Of courteous jour
nolism, and never TO sink so low as to
indulge in personality even toward
those who wantouly provoke it.
In the next issue Of the TRANscHGrr,
we hope to say few significant words
in respect to cruelty to prisoners.
This viii be followed by a few remarks
thereafter upon village economy. The
duty we have been provoked to dis
charge, Will be performed, we trust,
with candor and fidelity, and in such
a spirit as the subject requires. Mean
while we trust that tins spirit Of do
nothing and say-nothng on the part
of newspaper which may lose a
vote or subscriber if the fearful in
crease Of drunkenness in our midst is
alluded to which may lose a job Of
printing somehow or somewhere if the
truth is told about the undue preva-
lence of yagabondism or crime-whch
prevents the ventilation of a particu-
lar evil in which some prominent Off
cial may be moro or less implicated UNI
der the fear that the prospect Of gaining
or losing a marshalship or a post-ollieC
appointment may be affected thereby
which keeps the editorial pen still when
a village corporation runs into some
extravaganza, or plungos into hopeless
debt or prevents the exposure of rail
road negligouces, and accidents, fol
fear of losing the printing Of railroad
reports or railroad blanks vhicl
keeps back the editorial exposure o
fraud extravaganza, and peculation
on the part Of public officials all this
we trust, will be properly rebukod anO
frowned upon by an intelligent anC
high minded people This lick-spit
tleism, object servitude, or corporation
toadyism, is desricabe in its principles
sordid and contemplate in its aims
preiudcial to society and ruinous te
well conducted journalism.
We are surprised that the St Alban
