HOW TJ) DO TY

u
some of it's readers ~ publishing some
news items which they did not wish
published, and the Beacon disclaims
any malicious intent, and rises to ex-
plain how it is with editors. It would
have been all the same if the Beacon
had not published the items. There
would have been 4 number offended be-
cause the news was suppressed. We
have found, during fifteen years. ex-
perience rs all editor that the public
expect newspaper to 1.) praise their
friends =, abuse their enemies; (3,)
frequently puff their business A.
never puff the business of Il rival or III,
enemy; (5,) publish the names of rivals
or enelni' S who may get into difficulty ;
(6, suppress their own and their friends
names who may get into difficulty ;
7,) favor all public measures which,
can benefit their private interest; (S,)
oppose I'LL public measures which, would
affect injurionsly their immediate bust
ness; 81 always keep their ADVERTISE
ment at the top Of the page and in the
most conspicuous column; (l0,) al
ways keep the advertisement of a bust
ness rival III the obscurest corner of
the paper.
If the Beacon can do i'll this, if it
can ride TWO horses going III different
directions at the same time, then it
can please the Whole public.
The Commissioner Of Agriculture,
F.$. W it's, of the Agricultural De-
partmcnt 1T Washington, has just pre-
pared statement of the extent of the
suffering from the grasslopper plague,
which is to he II ed before Congress in
presenting the matter for aid, if it
proves that any legislation can be ia
ken on the matter. The Commissioner
says that the are;. of destructive vista
ton comprises from POO to 235 miles
wide, extending from the settlements
OF Southern Dakota tin ough NebrtSl q
to Kansas, over 500 miles in length and
including regions to he South. The
Territory visited 10y the Insects very
considerably exceeds 100000 square
miles.
The papers have had considerable to
say about the decl;natirn Of Rev.
Leighton C"!em III, OF Trinity (Episco-
pail Church, Toledo. to accept the
Bis|l"pri: of Fond du Lac, recently
te,,,lrrt,l him. Tie Doctor recently
stated publicly to his congregation the
reasons which led him to, decline lie
preferred the field which Trinity Church,
opens to him to that offered by the DID,
c-se OF Northern Wisconsin. vi Trim
ity Church, he said:
The real position Of Trinity Church
III this community, was of the very
greatest Importance. He Thought She
was very generally recognized as the
leader of TINS City in religious things,
and his he said without III il ywise in
tending to detract from the capacity
and usefulness Of any other cong:ega-
ton OF whatever name. The City was
very rapidly growing: Trinity Church
was one thing when Toledo had $1,000
or even 10000 Inhabitants, and is quite
another-wlen it has nearly $1,000. TIM.
appliances which might have been sui
ficient fo:: her then would not suffice
now. For the City's sake, as well as
for the sake Of the Parish ITSELF they
could not afford to lose the prominent
position now so commonly accorded to
them. 1t was nothing to make them
proud or arrogant, hut rather to make
them humble, and to imcite them to
greater industry in the future, aad to
more liberal gifts of time and money
for the cause of Church work of every
sort,
