JOURNALISTIC INDEPENDENCE,

Under the above head the Opelousas
courier OF June comments upon the
course pursued by the DEMOCRAT during
and since the last campaign in the fol-
lowing terms:
We have been greatly pleased with the in
dependent course pursued by the New Orleans
DEMOCRAT, in regard TO various public meas
!ires which have of late become proper sut4
lect of newspaper comment. We were struck
with the manly and honorable exhibition
made by the DEMOCRAT OF this commendable
spirit ON various occasions last winter. i'm re-
gard TO measures passed by Legislature
controlled by party which has chosen that
paper for its official organ.
We have been induced to make these re-
marks by the peiusal of AN article in recent
issue OF the DEMOCRAT. entitled Theories of
Journalism" The sentiments expressed i'm
that article are heightened and of the right
stamp. When Journalism throughout the
United States shall be conducted upon this
elevated plane, a new era will dawn upon its
career. The reading public may then look to
the public press as a safe guide In the forma-
fecting the welfare Of the people of this great
country, whether they be of a political, fnan-
cal, moral or religious nature and tendency
When honest and earnest men, who are
laboring conscientiously for the public veal
who are using every effort to suppress crime
and vice and to encourage virtue and moral
ity; to bring TO light. the hidden and dark
ways of the rings and combinations of vile
and dishonest tricksters and rogues that of
late years have become 80 common in the
United States, shall find the press of the
country standing upon such ground as that
selected by the New Orleans DEMOCRAT i'm
the performance of its journalistic duty to
the public, then, indeed, will they take cour-
age and look-not In yain--to that press as q
potent agent for good in the land. We hope
that the good example of the DEMOCRAT may
not be lost upon the press generally, at least
within this State.
