, -- .-r-. --- ---. ~~,-~- So..iO up Go ti:e party rack under better head of elan than
 the able, dignifed Examiner, of San Fran cisco, but it has had its eyes opened, and now says:
 Our experience in partisan journalism has taught us that the journal which depends solely or mainly on the party cabals, eau cusses. committees, and administrations leans on a broken reed The subscription list gained by an honest, intelligent and able advocacy of living principles, and rigid adherence to the doctrines of politics and morals which underie all right government, joined with legitimate and skillful conduct of the business department of the newspaper, are the sources of its strength and the bull warks of its independence No paper that depends upon the political fortunes of any man, or any administration, can ever be useful adjunct of party, or a safe indicator of public opinion, or monitor of public con science.
 The MINER learned much of the foregoing, long ago, and, in attempting to carry out its program, has been assailed and prophesied at by men who are old enough to know that the day of Party-risht or wrong,"-is, for many American citizens, adefunct shibboleth, and that the great reading public generally steer clear of the regular, old line, political slang whanging paper, which neglects all other leading topics for the, to it, all absorb ing political tune.
 While holding to these views, the MINER shall, at all times, claim the right to give ex- pression to its political sentiments have not changed; but it never expects to be an organ, to play the tunes of willy place hunters and disturbers of society.
