NEWSPAPER PROPERTY

From the Chicago Tribune.1
The Springfield Republican thinks that
the prices paid for newspapers (the price
paid for the New York Tribune for in
stance are too high, and that better use
can be made of million dollars, in IA
mere money point of view than to buy u
newspaper whose net profits are one humid
red thousand dollars. The Republican
thinks that considering the risks and hsz.
ards of the business, the capital should
thirty per centum is yielded, rather
than the larger sum from which
only 10 per cent il obtained. The old rule
for estimating newspaper property was on
the 20 per cent. bssis-by virtue Of
which n newspaper whose average profits
for five years have been 800, 900 per year,
would be estimated to be worth $500, 900.
But latterly this rule has been undergo
ing q change from the 20 per cent. to a IL
or Is per cent basis. This change has
been the ou,growth of evidence furnished
by the lapse of time, that the risks and
hazards of the business are less, instead
of greater, than those of bust.

observed that hardly anything is so indie.
structible as the value of newspaper Of
twenty years standing. Tho Chicago
journal is a noticeable proof of the value
Of mere longevity. The only article in
the journal that has attracted attention
for many years was one for which it was
fined $500 by the supreme court. And
still it is one of the most valuable pieces
Of newspaper property in the West.

whippers were pilloricd and whipped, they
would abandon their favorito pastime and
take to other and less dangerous amuse-
ments; that the lash held above brutal
husbands back would be an angel OF
peace in many households, and that the
whipping post at oil cross roads and street
corners in the state would be each OF them

of a wife to do what she might please with

We know we shall have the civilization
of the nineteenth century flung into our
face by the opponents of Quinn's bill /;
that we shall be called upon TO deprecato
the horrors of the whipping post, and be
asked TO gaze on Delaware; but we do
not care. Quinn forever! Up with his

TUETETON SIOUy.

The great question now agitating the
legislative mind aud puzzling the public
brain is "who are the Teton Sioux ?"
Some persons-good guessers-claim to
have solved the puzzle; some give it up !;
others say "myths." Our Uncle Samuel
don't believe them myths; no has given up
a sum total of SS0s, 600 at different times
for their benefit, and the question now
asked is "who are they" Senator Har-
Ian who knows all about Indian rings, be-
lieves in them and favors giving them
more..cash; Mr.. Clsgett of Idaho, also be.
lieves in Indians on the plains of the far
west" he has been there and for that
reason these Indians are realities; but he
claims that they belong to Johnny Bull,
and come from the British American pos
sessions to raid our country. If Clagett
be correct, we, as a nation, are doing q very
handsome thing by these raiding, scalping
"myths." In view Of the mys
tory that surrounds the bust.
ness, a bill will be introduced int,
congress authorizing the taking Of a cen
sus Of all the Indians in the country, es
pecially looking after the real number
and not forgetting their names, SO tha
there may be no repetition Of the "TetoI
Sioux" mystery.

THE WHIPPING POST.


Representative Quinn Of Peoria, has
not immortalized himself but is on the
highway at the end of which flames
proud temple shines afar. We are not
sure We have not bungled the figure of
speech We endeavored to get into the above
sentence but we are sure that Quinn
honored be his euphonious name has
made ten-strike in the game of notoriety
seeking, little game, which in the Hi
nois legislature, is as innocent as game of
"sell-out' for amusement. He--that is 10
say, Quinn-has determined 10
stand as q breakwster between bellig srent
husbands and wives and he will, if the
female heart has not been hardened by the
malign influences Of modern civilization
Quinn will be hailed by women every
where as tho evangel of domestic seici-
tude. We use the word felcitude
with o calm determination to stand
by it. 1t 10 the only word
our respect for Quinn will permit US TO
use in the connection above. 1t may not
be word which the Galsrys White
would take to his wordy heart but
whether it is good, bad or Indifferent, wo
are determined, having high regard for
Reformer Quinn, to stand !. it. Quinn
will then, as we have said, be hailed by
female acclaim rs the evangel OF domestic
felicitude. And why should he not be ?
We have not had the pleasure of gazing
upon the "mortal frame OF Quinn, but,
Gin our minds eye Horatio," he stands u
figure Of comely proportions-a man who
might be described with precision, by
using the language of Hamlet wheI
he described his father to hi
kind-hesrted mother. A grace
we have no doubt, is throned upo

And II So, Why So.

We clip the following from the Louis
vile Courier Journal of Tuesday last:
The New York Herald speaking of the fire..
qnency of suicides i'll that city, says that it is
more common there than any other crime, and
that the mortality list shows thai ten out of
eleven of those who commit it are Americans
or Germans. The Irish rarely take their own
livess owing perhaps, to their greater buoy
ancy and elasticity of spirits"
Our neighbor may be able to see through
tn the mill,sso without glasses, but he is
little to be depended on VIXEN he attempts
to give reasons for particular phenomena
which he has never studied and never
cared to study. When he suggests that
the natural light, heartedness Of the Irish
ia the cause of their exemption from the
deposition to fly in tue face Of their Ma
ker by cutting their own threats or shuf-
fling out of life in any other self-seiecsed
mode, he is not only wide of the mark, but
he is showing how little he has learned
concerning this wonderful people.
1t is the faith of the Irish, it is their
sense of religious du:y, that proven Is them
from being tempted to take their own ives.
These they look upon as Gods property
over which He ia The sole arbrer. Sui.
eide" says the writer in the Herald "is
more comn"u ~ the city of New York
than any other crime" This is the most con.
vincing proof We could have that Christian
faith among the people is retrogressiug.
Dut crime, 10 the aggregate, is Increasing
all over the land, aud, for that matter ali
over the world. Why Is this sol We an
swer: Because men are throwing off the
sweet yoke" of the faith because. in
their mere human pride, they are imagin-
ing themselves equal to all that may befall
them in the battle of life, of their own suf
hciency and because, alas, many an."ug
those who have not yet abandoned rh...i
faith N God, are provoking His wratL Il,
their sinful courses
Alb, how careful should we all be to so
live as to deserve, as far as poor humanity
may lay claim to any deservlngs, the favor
of the Almighty. Our faith comes from
Him. 1t is His free gift, and should be
cherished and kept bright and burning by
cur practical correspondence with His own
Catholic A6Uoeate.
