Country Newspapers.

There are few people who do the
country newspapers Justice. Most
everybody is inclined to look away
over the shoulders of the country
editor, to some paper printing more
reading matter and then make com
PARSONS. There are people who ac-
tually believe it impossible to find
a person with common sense, with
industry or with brains in the office
OF country newspaper; a newspa-
per can have no charms for them,
unless it can be mystified under Il
strange personality, and IN buying
copy they proceed upon the same
grounds as in the purchase ofa bar
of soap-they would rather have
one that comes from the city, be-
cause 1t NUT necessarily be so
much better IN every sense than II
home production. The same man
would laugh at you If you should
refuse to patronize the crossroads
mill, because you believe you had
rather get your flour from the city.
The country newspaper is one of
the most important attributes OF
every town in the United States.
When a colony settles anywhere
with the intention Of building II
village, the first thought is news
paper; the press is thus in the very
var guard OF civilization. 1t is the
usual agent in every place Of pro
gress and growth. There is not
another singl. power that can do
50 much good, patent work in tho
way Of building up AS the local
newspaper. 1t is not altogether
important how il is editcd-wheth-
er with ability or not, so that it be
conducted with an industry and en-
terprise at least side by side with
the town-if it can afford 10 keep a
few years in advance it Is all the
better. A country paper that had
little else than advertisements
would be an immense help TO any
place, for advertisements constitute
most reliable index 20 the char
acter, size, business and general
condition OF the town. 70 the
stranger who may have looked in Il
prospective way upon the place,
the advertisements are the invulu-
able part of the papers that have
been sent him. Without a news.
paper, without its local news and
business announcements, what
would the average American city
or village be? 1t would surely be
unknown Of It's neIghbors.
The country weeklies ought to be
the best supported newspapers OF
the whole land, for they contain
news and gossip that cannot be
found in any Of the city daIhes.
The farmer can learn from his local
paper--it he prefers to take it in
stead OF somc more expensive pub
licatlOn-how much his neighbor's
sixty acre farm sold for, how the
sehoo are prospering, the price OF
butter and eggs at the village mar
ket and what improvem ents are in
progress in the section in which he
lives. lie can get none OF this in
the city papers, and he cannot be
thoroughly useful citizen without
such items Of light information. 1t
is not always that the best town
supports the best paper, but it is
strictly fact that no place ever
gets the credit OF beng thrifty or
enterprlsing until it can send out II
first class paper, and that always
depends more upon the people
than the editor.

Cool Girls.

For fear of missing the road they
took the railroad track. They
walked along lelsurclv, unnoticod
or unnoticing, until when, Just in
the middle OF tho bridge, they
heard Il train approaching. Turn
ing, they saw a coal train Of the
Lackawanna railroad coming on
the bridge at full speed. There
was not time enough to cross the
bridge; there was no place on
which to step aside. Quick as
thought both girls dropped them
selves between the ties, and there
hang between train and water un-
til the long line OF empty jimmIes
passed over their heads. Their
muscles weakened, but they hung
for dear life. Finally the train
passed, and the girls by dint OF
hard scrambling regained a posi-.
tion on top OF the bridge.-[Utica

'.bolters will be discouraged and the
regulars supported" Not content, how
ever, with this short notice, the Senti-
mel of the 9Th inst, contains the follow
ing:
ASNoUScEMENT.-The litigation be-
tween 4. NJ. Thomson and the Sentinel
Company and others, has been settled
and discontinued; and \. S. Murphey
has become the owner of majority of
both the old and new stock of said Com
pany, thus settling all litigation in which
the Company is concerned. Several
papers in the State have manifested more
or less interest in the welfare Of this
Company, and some individuals on the
street have been more or less exercised
in regard TO its prosperity.
For their satisfaction, this announce
ment is made: and it is further announe-
ed that the Sentinel is not for sale; but
is to be devoted exclusively to the advo-
cacy of Republican sentiments, and the
support of regular Republicans.
We are pleased to see such spirit of
devotion to party manifested by our met
ropolitan daily. 1t looks like a return
of the good old days when principles
were of more consequence than men.

WE clip the following from the Chi
cago Tribune. In it is condensed a good
deal of plain practical wisdom on the
vexed subject of strikes:
1t is cheerful news that there is fair
prospect for cessation of the troubles
in the Pennsylvania coal regions, and a
resumption of work. But what COM
ment upon the practice of strikes this
long and costly war affords. There
have been nearly six months of idleness,
during which thousands Of people have
been suffering for the want of food and
clothing, millions of capital have been
practically wasted, and tie worst pass
ions Of the human race aroused to. out
rage and bloodshed. And noS, afterall
this, the miners will have to resume
work, if at all, at the prices offered them
last January The statement is ma de
that, in the Schuylkill region alone, the
loss from the suspension Of all mining
operations for five months is $50, OOO,
600, one-half Of which must be borne by
the laborers How many such exper-
fences must the world have before labor
Uro ,vIuo ~ d IeaulaIIun uI the TACT that
capitalists can better afford to bear their
proportion of the losses incident to sus-
pension Of work, and hold out longer,
than labororo: Until they DO. presume
that the tollies, and losses, and outrages,
and sufferinss of the long strike m the
Pennsylvania coal regions will have to be
sustained from time to time.

rounds Of the press to the effect that
Maud Oswald one Of the chariot driy-
ers Of Barnum' show was once a clerk in
a fancy goods store in Brooklyn. One
day she said she was tired of standing
twelve hours a day behind counter for
g per week, and that night she started
for New y ork, where she applied at the

looks favored her application, and now
she rides barebac&cd horse with skill

There is whole sermon in the above
1t teaches Us why so many women are
to-day following disreputable eallings,
and prosttuting themselves in order that
living may be gained. The honest
legitimate callings are made SO onerous
and burdensome. that it is not to be
wondered at that young ladies are at
tractei away from them by the shallow
glitter Of the circus ring or brothel
And before we pass our harsh judgments
upon such creatures let US reject whether
or not we are 50 much stronger than
they, as to have successfully battled with
the temptation The books do not show
who are the heroes and heroines in this
world They, many Of them, live quiet
" and exc out bare substance on the
paltry rittances thrown them by kind
employers, rather than take the SIS a
week as the result of life of shame;
while the more fortunate pass them by,
ror give them credit for heroism, But

long column Of fgares on the credit
side, for them and sometime they will
hear the welcome words well done"

THE European war cloud which look
ed so dark and threatening few weeks
ago seems not 10 have wholly cleared
away as yet, and the cable still palpita-
tes with rumors of approaching hostili-
ties. Now it is said that there is a seri-
Gus misunderstanding between the Brit
ish Government and Bismarck, and that
ugly complications between the two
countries may be looked for ere long
That the peace Of Europe is threatened,
is doubtless true, but that England will
be first in the fray is wholly improba-
Bile There is nothing in the recent
history of Great Britain to lead to the
supposition that she longs for a war
with any country, much less with Ger
many, and until some more tangible evil
dence is offered than mere sensational
rumors, II viii be safe to treat the war
stories as the creation of diseased
imagination. -Niiraukee Sentinel
