Mr. Haskell of the Boston Herald at
the dinner table of the Ancient and
Honorable artillery festival on Monday
evening was set to speak on the press.
and said among other just and pat things:
Independent journalism is not so much
of an acrobatic performance. Its motto
is to tell the truth and shame the devil
All it is blessed occupation. 1t has
to correct so many lies told by other
people especially party organs and poll
ticians-that it scarcely has time TO tell
any itself-even for fun. We might
have an excuse, if we did lie a little
Parties lie to us in platforms as false as
dicers' oaths. Interested persons lie to
US to obtain credit not due them or evade
deserved blame. We are expected to sift
all these lies and give the public nothing
but truth. You see what task is put
upon US. But we can stand it. We do
not complain. Welcome any sacrifice if
we can make the world any wiser and
better. Anything, anything to lift up
poor suffering humanity. rejoice that
all newspapers are becoming independent.
Only few years ago the great newspa-
pers were all party organs. Now the
great newspapers, the far-reaching news
papers-tae successful newspapers-are
independent The people like them,
though the politicians do not, and patron
ize them. So may it be more and more
so until independent journalism is also
both ancient and honorable.

1t Is difficult to estimate the losses sus-

1t is presumed that some one or two thous-
and dollars worth of their goods were
saved, but some of them in damaged con-
dition. The more valuable part of the
stock consisted in heavy goods stored in
that part of the building where the fire
originated and it is presumed that at least
Sl2, 900 worth was destroyed. The build
ing was owned by Mr.. butcher, senior, and
1t is a total loss, or very nearly so. The
main part was erected about fifty years
| ago, and of course has seen its best days,
The value of the buildings has been
variously estimated at from $4,000 to
$4,000, exclusive of the site, which is very
valuable.
The other losses are confined to damage
only, save the destruction of small barn
owned by Il. A. Smith, in rear of kimp
