SATURDAY. JANUARY 81. 1877,
DilicuIties Of n Representa-.
tive journal.

Uuon certain occasion a distinguish
cd Grecian artist proposed to paint n
picture that would be absolutely fault
less; after completing it, he placed 1t
where it might receive the criticism of
all, and requested those who examined
it to note any faults they might discover
Each passer by, anxious to show ms
knowledge of such matters, marked some
iancied defect, until in dispair on remov'
ing his beautiful picture the artist found
no part, but what was considered by
some defective. Finally be was per
suaded to again expose his art to the
criticism of the public; this time each
QUE who passed by was requested to
point out some fancied merit; when to
the artists Joy, there was no part ot his
picture but what had met the approval
of some.
This simple story represents some of
the difficulties ent onntered in publish
ing q journal in this valley that shall he
truly representative of its wants and
interests.
IN every community there is always
class OF carping critics who, If une is
successful, are always jealous Of the sue
cess, if unsuccessful, are ready to glOat
over his misfortunes, these rarely give
substantial help towards any public en-
terprise, or really care what is the troul-
lie it taxes to carry them forward; yet
are always willing to be critics for each
OCCASION as II may offer. Seemingly for.
getfal of the little they accomplish, they
delight to show where others have failed
of doing perfect justice, or have not been
perfectly successful, as il their criticisms
made fall atonement for their own
shortcomings; yet, ii their attention is
specifically called to special points Of
excellence, they will, like the artists
critics admit excellencies of detail, when
ever they fancy such admissions will be
of service 10 themselves. in making them
appear ofimportance before the public.
Ordinarily, they delight in censure, and
adverse criticism, as if it betrayed more
fully their own Importance. The same
act being criticised from the most oppo-
cite reasons.
For instance, this valley alone is. ca.
pable of supporting Journal about one
third the size of the STAR; yet there is
q large section Of country Of nearly iden.
tical interests adjacent 10 the SDoho.
nish, not represented by any journal,
nor yet strong enough to support jour.
nal ut home. BY securing the whole
support Of the Snohomish with these
adjacent regions, o paper could be sup.
ported, with large enough circulation, to
make it of Territorial Importance, and to
cause it to occupy truly representative
position among the leading journals Of
the northwest coast.
This work the STAR has done, go that
most Of our critics will admit it to be
done thoroughly and we'll 1. has made

resent to be better known abroad than
most any other portion Of the Territory.

.
Ell it first, that is all, and we found 1t
more convenient than to devote our
time there, while now it will be more
convenient to devote mUre Of our time
nearer at home.
Yet We don't expect to neglect the in
trrrsts of those abroad, because the
knowledge WE have acquired will here
ut,er enable u in less space and time to
represent them iully ms accurately as be-
tore we rould in much greater space, and
with much more time devoted to the
matter
Another objection urged is that we
uvrrratr the regions outside OF this val
leg. and undGrratc those at home. To
i We say, that before II paper was
started in either locality specially repre-
-rutrd by the STAR. it was not supposed
That there we're many things worth rep
rcscnting in print hut we found so
many things betWe uanoiiced that we
adopted the plan Of always under, rather
than overrating any thing; hut what
ever we described to state it accurately,
and use the most positive language we
could use that accurately, without exag-
erration, represented the matter. The
consequence is, each local community
found many things previously unnoted
at home, for which they are brought in.
to notice; they also find that adjacent
communities possess advantages by them
unlhought of before, and finding things
at home understated, rather than over
stated, yet so stated as to produce de
cidedly beneficial effect for their COM
munity as a whole, many at once said
other regions are described in an exag.
gcruted manner, greater credit is gwen
than they deserve.
As an illustration we refer to an art!
Gle published last week upon the growth
of this place, where it was stated that
upwards of ont dozen buildings were
commenced during the year 1875, which
was strictly true ; complaint was made
that We had not stated fully the truth,
because more had been done than we
represented. The fact being that OF
buildings commenced prior to 1876 aud
completed within that year, together
with those commenced in 1876, and those
largely improved in that time, over two
dozen buildings were commenced, erect
ed or completed, yet the results were not
difft rent than first stated, and to the
person coming here W verify our state
ment, one would appear to be an exag-
geration, the other 10 be within the
truth. We believe the least exaggerated
form of statement TO he the most bene-
fetal.
We would not have taken up this
space only to illustrate the folly of at
tempting to please all or to silence criti-
cism. We neither expect nor desire this.
What we do intend is to publish jour
nal that will, in measure, do the work
marked out for it-that will benefit its
patrons, be descriptive Of the growing
interests Of the community, and repre-
sent its literary and scientific develop
ment.
We expect our friends will frequently
find many things that may honestly Of
fend them; while we hope our enemies
will frequently find that which they
will not relish, and if they are OCCASION
ally pleased by what appears in our col
umns, we cannot help it.

Sunk Fifty Miles Below
Pine Bluff.
The Boat a fetal Loss-CArgO Saved

Special to the Ledger.l
PIKE BLUFF, ARK April IL, s am
The new steamer Fannie Moore, Captain
Woadburn, en- route from Fort Smith to
New Orleans, With 1850 bales of cotton
and other freight, struck a snag or wreck
at Sarassa, fifty miles below Pine Bluff,
yesterday afternoon st 1--WE o'clock, and
sunk in eight feet water. The cargo will
be partially saved, but owing to the rise
in the river, the boat, it is feared, will
prove a total loss. The Maumelle left
Pine Bluff this morning to so TO her as
sistauce. The Fannie Moore was a new
boat, built at Madison last simmer, ex-
pressly for the Arkansas river trade. She
was valued at $40, 900, and insured in
Cincinnati Offices for three. fourths Of her
value. This was her first trip in the
river, being water-bound at Fort Smith
for more than two months.

Irrational people always reject good advice,

quality which we would suggest to them.

ST.. Petersburg. April l2.-The Jour
nal de St. Petersburg states that there is
no further hope that Turkey will accede
to the demandsof Europe. The Golos de-
clareG that the present state of things is
such as to leave scarcely any hope Of a
pacific solution. Russian occupation OF
the Christian provinces Of Turkey would
be the logical consequence Of a refusal
Of the porte to carry out the demands oil

exclude all idea Of the ambitious designs
attributed to Russia, who, by intervening
in behalf Of the Christians, would solely
pursue humanitarian ends.
