PUBLISHERS OF NEwsPAPERs.-An AND
more particularly local newspapers, have
to depend mainly upon their advertising
columns for their support. Yet how ma
nv are there who seem not to realize TINS
fact. Instead of giving thoir paper a lib
eral advertising patronage, they perhaps
give il none; and il levee or entertain
ment is got up in the place, the paper Is
expected to notice it for nothing.
Now If all the patronage that a paper
can expect is that of the locality for whose
interest it works. it would seem that every
one should give it the advertising that ie-
ultimately belongs to it, and not try to
get it without paying for it. There Is 4
class Of people that seem 70 besrndge ev-
cry dollar that goes to their local papers !;
and still borrow it and read it. and are
the seyerest critics OF its shortcomings. :,
The publisher has TO pay for labor and
paper, and every notice of any kind, IN
the nature of an advertisement he ought
TO have his pay for. He has got to get
his living out Of his advertising colamnss,
and any society or individual can with
Just as much propr ETY. beg five dollars 81
any other indy dual, as 10 expect I gra-
tG.touSly Of a newspaper.
ANY man who does not think enough
OF his towns paper and every trader who
does not believe in advertising, should
move into some town where they have no
Gdrdinei Journal.

Education

One of the most important ofaH
the questions Of the polity Of tins
country, is that of education. The
sooner a State arrives al the conciu-
sion that this is the case, the sooner
will it be in the assured path waioh
will lead to prosperity.
But in arriving at this conclusion
il is always necessary TO tromp'e on
the opinion OF good many ignorant
people. who are satisfied that then
children shall grow up as ignorant as
they are.
In ESTABLISHING system OF public
education, very little attention should
he paid to the prejudicas of the igno-
rant. The case Is similar to that OF
a sick child. The physician knows
what Is necessary for the child, and
does not consult it in regard 20 the
medicine needed. The State in this
case knows the needs of the people
there is no dispute about the disease ;
it knows too, the remedy and the l.
norant patieu; should not he consult
ell about that remedy.
These local option clauses in the
School laws Of the State, are a mere
pandering to the prejudices of those
who oppose all schools, and in the
very places where schools are most
needed. We hope tie friends Of ell
ucatiou every where, viii take meas
ures to secure full vote in favor Of
tue very longest term possible for
school in the several districts whore
it is put 10 vote. and we also hope,
that persons viii not be so blind %
their own interests Is to refuse %
vote the additional tax for school par-
poses. There isu5 tax moreinposaat
10 the country than the school tax;
no subject more important To- the ri
sing generation than thar OF educa
ton, and none gilmore Importance 20
the welfare of the State. Il ve
seek the most prosperous Of States in
this country, We lind them in those
which have the best educljioaal ~y,-

that the reason the German soldier,

"Trip Through Hondu. as

LAST winter at the solicitation OF
the Honduras and Inter oceanic
Railway Company of London, Col.
I. q. Huston, made trip over the
route of their proposed road, from
the Pacific to the Atlantic Ocean.
Col Huston is railroad engineer,
waS formerly connected with the g..
q O. r. r. and is well known in this
city. His sterling practical common
sense. combined with a first rate class
;cd and theoretical education, and
large experience. especially qualified
him for the trip and enabled him to
see with a practioed eye, all that
was to be seen.
lie has given to the world, the
benefit of his observation in an ex-
tremely well written pamphlet ct
some forty pages, which is brimiuil
of matter; it Is not like so many
hooks a riyulet Of type flowing
through a sea of margin but is full
OF matter for thought on every page.
His descriptions are graphic, and to
the point, showing the taste of Il con-
n1isseur, with the observations Of the
engineer.
The conclusions Of Col. Huston,
were strongly in favor of the Hondu-
ras route, both as to practicability
and general advantage. He says Il
firmly believe the construction Of the
Honduras Railway will lead to the
full development Of the famous Gold
regions of blanche or esatern Hondu-
ras, cqualmg California in auriferous
deposits. which are only short dis
taace and quite accessible TO the line
Of the said proposed railway; and
when the Cincinnati Southern rail

ton, l. built TO Chattanooga, and the
Honduras Railway to the Pacific and
c)ol steamers are running from Pen
-gcola to Pom. Caballo5, over the
smooth waters OF the Calf OF Mexico
and the Caribbean Sea, this region
can be reached from Cincinnati in
five days, and the Pacific in six, and
