The Gazette s dissatisfied because Congress-
man Lofand did not have the League island

did not secure 5O,0OO, for the improvement OF
our harbor, instead of $4,000 also that he did
not have some of the "great steamers which
are now being constructed elsewhere, built here
and further that he did not make at least one
speech month. These are very odd criticisms
and probably others may be added to the list,
as the Gazette reflects further OIL the subject
For instance, why did not Mr.. Lohand have the
National Capital removed to Wilmington Why
did he not secure such legislation as would iu

women Good Enough for Doctors.

Professor Huxley announces that he is mot
one of the converts to the new-fangled doctrine"
Of the equality of the female intellect with that
of men. Specially he thinks that women lack
the patient endurance in intellectual effort
which is necessary to the attainment Of any good
end. In short this eminent English wiseacre
thinks women are not smart enough for his own
department of science, but he sees no reason
why they should not make sufficiently good
doctors. "Those who are best acquainted with
the requirements of an average medical prae'
ttioner' he remarks, will find it hard to believe
that they are beyond what the female intelli
gence can attain to. This is severe on the doc
tors as well as the ladies. If it can really bt
established that woman's intellect is so inferio
to the manly standard we should be 10th to se'
incompetence meddling with medicine and sur

The Trustworahiness of Newspapers.

Appleton's Journal in recent article on
newspapers, dwells especially on the issue rals-
ed by Mr. James Parton As TO "falsehood IN the
press,n and says
ssIt seems TO us that the newspaper press more
often suppresses falsehood than circulates IT,
One has only to imagine the wild fances Wlhch
rumor unchecked by any form of authority,
would indulge in, to see the good uses OF the
daily newspaper. There is not day that the
Journals do not correct or set right, some wild
gossip IN the street, which, if left TO ltseli,
would have spread aud multiplied to an lndeh-
mite extent. Every one must recollect now, du-
ring our late war, the newspapers were anxious
ly consulted morning and evening to see II they
confirmed or contradicted the wild rumors cur
rent in every mouth. For every direct or dis
tnct falsehood circulated by the press i arrests
at least two No people are 30 creaulous hs
those who do not read newspapers no lies are
so tenacious as those in circulation outside OF
the sphere of the journals"
This is strong and compact statement OF the
truth, and one which fair and Intelligent OBJ
server will be forced to concede. There is some
inaccuracy in the columns or all newspa=
pers, even of those which are most care
fully and conscienhously conducted, and it is
for the very reason which appears in the
quoted extract that the mouth of common ru-
NOR and public report emits much that is
false. In other words the statements passed
from one to another, verbally, are almost always
magnifed or distorted, and the most patient
search and careful sitting are needed before the
newspaper dare take them. 1t happens, some
times of course, that enough search and sitting
cannot be given, and the newspaper, reporting
what has been stated to it. prints more or less
than the truth.
Lying discredits newspapers, as it discredita
men, and decent journal is not merely sensitive
to charges against its truthfulness, but sincere
ly desirous of avoiding error. To presume thai
they are careless, indifferent, or wilfuly inaccu
rate is to misunderstood the average character
of the newspapers of to-day.
In illustrating its subject, the Journal from
which we quote above, tells the following very
good story
While travelling in Pennsylvania during th'
war between France and Austria, an old man Ell
tered our car and began to relate marvelou
piece of news that he had learned at the county
tavern, how a hundred thousand French soldiers
marching into a town captured Of the Austrians
were all blown to atoms by hidden mines OF gu
powder Upon being asked how he got thi
news, as the newspapers said nothing about II
he exclaimed violently 81 don't read no news
papers. Don't take nary one. They're nothin
but pack of lies u
