Moi sgccessful.

We regret to learn that, through bad management or some other cause best known to those who have the Orion S. NJ. Go. in charge, that it is not likely 10 prove success under the present management. There have been SO many failures in attempting 10 mill the ores of that portion of our county that we had hoped the Orion Co. would prove an exception to its predecessors. There are good mines in Gro Blanco district; but it now looks as though a more intelligent or better posted class of mill men will have to take hold before we may hope for complete success.

UnanswerabIo. Because True.

Ist. Paul tAIinu.l Pioneer Press, Feb. 17.l
 The cheek of every citizen of Min nesoia who has any pride m his State will grow hot, not with indignation, but with shame, as he reads what happened in the House of Represents lives at Washington, yesterday, when Minnesota was brought up like a cul- prit before the eyes of the whole coun. try and denounced as repudiating State. A New York Representative, Einstein, moved that no part of the appropriations for rlver improvements should go to any State which had re- pudiated its debts, and on that amend ment he made some remarks insulting to Minnesota and so derogatory to its honor that it was cl arly incumbent on it's Representatives to repel the in suit. If they could. But not one of them rose to reply. They covered in silence under the merciless taunt of their States accuser. For it was uu- answerable, because it was true.

Soon afterward they were standing on the track near the depot, when Collins passed them.

A NEWSPAPER is a business enterprise,
and must be conducted on business princi-
pies. Men are constantly asking favors
from newspapers, which mean sacrifice Of
space representing money, who would never
dream of asking lawyers to take cases with
out fees, or expect doctors to take their pay
in thanks. The Geadhead is disappearing
from other departments of business life, and
the newspaper deadhead, distinguished
though be may be, must follow. News
papers, being business enterprises; mnst live
iu business way. Ii the public does not
support the best newspapers it must expect
to see the worst newspapers thrive. II is
true, and especially true of our own coun-
try, that newspapers, in the hands of men
having convictions and believing that they
could, with this modern lever, help to mot e
the world, have accomplished great things.
Without them the great movements Of the
past century for the furtherance of personal,
religious and political liberty would have
travelled at snail's pace. But this was
possible only because they had the support
snd sympathy of the best men of the COM
munity. The surest way of keeping the
standards Of our journalism high, and of
raising them, is for that portion of the pub
lie which knows the value and necessity of
a diznified and able press to withhold its
support altogether from newspapers which
cater to depcaved tastes and are reckless Of
the truth, and to give it to newspapers
which can safely be taken in the family and
are not only decent but just.-New York
