Gentle Words to Newspaper Critics.

Among newspaper readers there is
as great variety of tastes, and per-
haps standards Of excellence, as there
are readers. A is not at all Interested in
articles which suit the taste of B;
and B is amazed that A takes so
kindly to the articles which he reads,
while c is disgusted with both.
Those who readanewspaper should
bear in mind the great variety of
tastes it is necessary for is editors to
consult. A man whose attention is
devoted exclusively to farming and
agricultural pursuits will take no
special interest in local town gossip
and the numerous readers in town
will find no special pleasure in read
ing purely agricultural article. A
cultivated old man will be disgusted
at the silly story that will captivate
the illiterate or the children. Women
are not always satisfied with political
news, and men care little for the
latest fashion items. Old ladies will
throw down a paper in contempt that
contains a descriptive account of an
elegant party wherein toilets are
given, while on the other hand moth
ing will quicker strike the fancy of a
society young lady. Some readers
of the graver sort may be disgusted
at reports of parties and social gath
erings, who arrive home and who
leave town, while many viii read
nothing else in the paper. Some
times we publish long speeches occu-
pying much space, as last week and
the week previous, and as a conse-
quence this week there is much in the
paper of light character. And SO
it works. Please remember then,
when you see articles in a newspaper
that do not suit your fancy, that
you are only one of several thousand
old and young, male and female, wise
and illiterate, whose tastes have to be
consulted in newspapers genera
makeup. Read what suits you and
pass the distasteful items over tc
those who will find the greatest pleas
ure in that which you reject.
The mission and character of news.
papers have been greatly changed il
these latter days. Now men are toe
actively engaged in the rivalries o
their business pursuits to stop tt
ponder over long, studied and laboret
articles that once filled the columns
of newspapers. They require brief
pithy, and newsy items. Papers ar
now principally used for disseminat
ion news-newsy is the word, ant
the slightest little incident is now re
quired to be taken notice of by tn
custom and tastes of the times
Many things may, and frequently dc
appear in the Statesman and othe
papers, that are in themselves ligh
and frivolous, but it will be seen b
those who understand and appreciat
the foregoing, that it is necessary t.
give space to such things in order t
meet the demand of great variet
in tastes. Missouri Statesman.

Ambrose IT, Purdy, of New York, we'll

at St. Louis, before the nomination, said of
Tilden, the great reformcr
What sheer madness and folly to nomi-
nate Samuel J. Tilden, when by that nomina-
ton you must concede--because the fact can
not be denied--that you surrendered the two
great Western States, Ohio and Indiana, BY
default in the October elections. Cries Of
Good, Good. After nominating him. your
FIRST labor will be to prepare the minds Of the
people for this defeat, which must certainly
follow. We can persuade them that we do
not expect to carry Ohio or Indiana we can
persuade them we make no effort to carry
Ohio and Indiana, but surrender them by de-
fault but when am informed by the mel
from Ohio, who certainly ought to know, that
in the October elections Ohio and Indiana
will give the most overwhelming majority
that the Republican party ever had in those
States when | see our political enemies

The drinking man claim that he has a per-
feet right to drink what he plcases, when he
pleases, and where he pleases, provided it
does not interfere with any one else. In all
of which we agree with him perfectly. But
who ever knew liquor drinker who did not
sooner or later interfere with the rights of
others. The mere act of patronizing saloon,
is an interference with the rights of others,
as it helps to sustain public nuisance. Lii
quor drinking is a down grade business II not
stopped it is only a question of time as to
its causing interference with the rights of
others. And family, or community have
the right, or should have, to ward off threat
ened blow from this direction, by taking
means to prevent the use of liquors as be-
verage, the same as to prevent any other evil
from being developed in their midst.

Evils OF EARLY RfsING.-.Tlle attention
Of MEDICAL men in this great Republic, OBJ

in vogue in the rural districts and among early

to eat. This nocturnal meal is family disruis.

no doubt that 1t has much to do with creating,
spreading and sustaining the national dis

visited with severe judgments, but nothing
seems able to deter its votaries from continu-
Ing its practice. We ONE took summer
boarding with man who used to eat in the
night, and who reused up all his household to
share in the unnatural meal. One night bo
stirred us all up at lalfpast four to eat. We

WHAT THE FIRST sA1oov cosr.

The Kansas State Sentinel, in recording
fact, draws moral which we think none who
study can fail to profit by !:
The first saloon licensed by the Board of
County Commissioners, nearly nine years ago,
paid fifty dollars for that privilege 1t met
bitter opposition from the frienda of temper
ance and good ORDER but the rum men were
alert, and by presenting bogus petition,
asking for it, the thing was granted, and fifty
dollars are supposed to have gone into the
treasury.
A change AZ once came over our town.
Drunken men began to BE- seen upon our
streets. Men who before paid their bills
regularly, now paid so much for rum that
their bills to honest tfadesmen had to 20 I'M

The air Of that saloon, night and day, was
made black with profanity, vulgarity and
rum. Our young men went there and staid
until the hours Of midnight. What effect 1t
had upon them will never DO written.

WHEN Drp You LEAVE HoME.--one day
last week Senator Oglesby, of Illinois, and
Representative Foster of Ohio, called at the
Interior Department to see the Secretary
Mr. Chandler not being in at the time they
were ushered into the presence of the Assist
ant Secretary, who was acting in his stead.
The Senator~introduced himself as Mr..
Oglesby, of Illinois, y and his companion as
g Mr.. Foster, of Ohio.n The usual greetings
were exchanged, a few common place remarks
passed, and the A. S. Strengthening himself
back in his chair, inquired
"Well, gentlemen, when did you leave
home?"
The two honorables looked at each other
a moment, but the joke was too good to hold.
Bursting into a hearty laugh, Mr.. Foster slap
ped the Senator ON the shoulder and exclaim-
ed /:
SO this is fame ! A general in the FEEDER
al army, Governor, of your State, United
States Senator, and yet not known by high
government official. Oh, pull down your
vest.''
The story went the rounds rapidly, and the
Assistant Secretary's question promises to be-
come famous. Senators while passing back
ward and forward through the halls and cor
ridors of the capitol, are won't to DO stopped
by some intimate friend or colleague, who
