Is no lees entertaining than instructive, and

Hent hitherto existing has been one-s'dtd
and unfair one toward the country press,
II, The revelations @ ton! made by Mr: Craig prove
Craig With orisinatinE. all the arbitrary and
unjust conditions which were forced upon
thu state Pfcss. Mr. Craig admits tho arbt-
trary and unjust conditions, but insists that
what he did waf IN the interests Of the New
York Press, whose servant he was,
The progress "f journalism, and the devel-
opmcnt OF The country, have outErown the
monopoly which has so long existed. The
time has come when every leading newspaper
IN the West must assert itself, and By ration
nj enterprise procure and Eiyc all the current
news without regard to the source from
whence It comes. News must hereafter
be regarded Nc a marketable commodity,
nnd the Stnte Associated Press will
he false to its hest interests If It does
net annul ali such entnngling aiiiauces
for the benefit Of our cosmopolitan contem-
Iorarles. We propose 10 CONFORM TO the new
