People who Read.

In its columns, the news OF the world is
given every day in the year. Its two thous-
and correspondents located in every Sec
ton OF this Country and Europe, are the
most reliable news gatherers to he had,
and the history OF each days events will
be faithfully recorded and presented to the
public through the Enquirer, free from dis.
tortion or prejudice.
The province OF 4 newspaper is to record
facts, to separate truth from lalsehood.
How well the Enquirer has succeeded in
this duty, we feel u pardonabe pride in re-
ferring TO its files and past record for evil
dence oil its ability and thoroughness in
presenting all matters treated upon in
their true light
The people Of this age require paper
fully abreast OF the times, co.equal in en-
terprise, and material advancement in all
mercantile and political interests, such
will the Enquirer continue to be. Candor
and fairness will be accorded to all oues-
tons and parties, but the facts shall never
be perverted.
The Immediate Future has in store,
matters OF grave interest to all, and the
general welfare will largely depend upon
the influence Of those who are fully con-
yersant with facts occurring and to occur.
The policy OF the government but partially
developed by the New Administration,
was fast winning the confidence OF the PEG.
pie, when the hand OF the Assassin placed
control of affairs in charge OF faction
whose leaders have not at all times re-
ceived favorable criticisms for their public
acts. What the future policy is to be, will
be foreshadowed during the first year Of
President Arthur's administration, and
presented to the public without fear or
favor, in the columns OF the Enquirer.
THE WEEKLY EDITION
of the Enquirer ought to be in the hands
OF every farmer, every mechanic and every
toiler in the land. As an agricultural pa
per- full Of fresh, valuable and reliable in
formation, it will be without rival! A
corps OF contributors has been retained
whose practical and theoretical knowledge
in all branches of good farming is unsur-
passed.
We thank our readers for that liberal
support that has enabled us TO print the
best newspaper in the West, and ask a
continuance OF the same and your assist
ance in making known the merits OF the
paper, and increasing itsfeld OF usefulness.

A Cleveland (ohio) Judge has de-
cided that keeping open a barber
shop on Sunday and shaving people
is a work Of necessity, and comes in
under the exception in the law
against common labor on Sunday. In
his reasoning he says that if the
shaver is guilty so is the shayee;
that it is as necessary to shave the
face as it is TO wash it, and that it is
no more criminal for a man to get
shaved on Sunday than it is to
whack of his own whiskers himself.
Ed.
After our BARRIERS read the above,
we hope they will keep their shops
open on Sunday morning for few
hours. They are SO crowded on Sat.
urday nights, that we can't all get
shaved.

The sky is blue ten times where it is
BLACK once. You have troubles, it
may be. So have others. No one
