Local Journalism.

Many people suppose that the ed
ting of local newspaper is light
and easy task-in fact a pleasant
pastime.
The identity and personality of the
editor cannot be concealed or avoid
ed-he speaks himself and all his
readers know him and upon him
rests the responsibility of all he says.
Self.respect and an ardent desire
to do well at the hands of his sub.
scribers and patrons prompts him to
strive 50 to conduct his Journal as to
reflect credit upon himself and upon
the community in which it is pub
lished.
The first and most essential thing
in the conduct of o country Journal
is to have it clean. In it's dealings
with men it should be fair and just;
if occasion should arise for praise or
censure, itshould bejustly melted out.
Personal prejudice and bias for good
or i'll, should never control the edi-
torial columns. As dissemination
of news the weekly paper needs
much watching and careful scrutiny.
To these essentials for the decent
conduct Of q newspaper, must be adj
ded the earnest co operation of the
community, among whom it circu-
lates and for whose benefit, if prop
erly conducted, it does so much.
No class Of men know better than
editors the bitterness of the want of
appreciation and Of moral and ma
terial and substantial support.
If people wonld only realize what
advantage it is to town to have q
decent, well conducted paper, they
would, with one accord, tender such
encouragement and support as would
tighten the editorial burden and lift
up the editorial heart.
The labor bestowed upon local
journal is Of more magnitude than
most people would suppose and it
should meet with . generous recog.
milton on the part of all. It is o
chronicle ofevents happening day by
day in your misunderstanding
You in your enterprises rejoicingi in
your prosperity-and, extending
sympathy in your misfortunes, and
surely the community should have
an indivinual interest in the success
and prosperity of the journal pub.

The New York Evening Post says
the sum and substance of the Demo
cratic position in Virginia is that to
be "practical you must sometimes
be dishonest, but that you must not
be more dishonest than is plainly
necessary. The Democrats think
Malone is a great rascal, not because
he proposes to cheat, but because he
proposes to cheat more than they
think is needed to carry the State.
He thinks that to carry it he must
propose to rob the public creditors
of S13, 100000 outright and $780,
600 annually. The Democrats say
that this is villanous, because the
same thing may be accomplished by
robbing them of only 100000 an
nually. The Democratic proposal
may be a better one for the creditors,
but it is hardly sign of the superior
morality of its authors.

Some of the Dangers Attending Its Use.
From the New York Times

Some of the Dangers Attending Its Use.
From the New York Times.
DR.. E. f. Brush, in late number of the
Medical Record, presents some interesting
facts in regard to cows milk when used for
the nourishment of infants The dissent
nation of disease by bad milk is a fact
which he calls on medical men to recognize.
At present DIR. Brush declares that the laws
seem to be made for the pecuniary pro-
lection of corporations and herdsmen." 1t
is perfectly true that the laws passed in the
State respecting milk are entirely in the in
terests of the butter and cheese makers,
and not at all for the babies We have GER
tain laws of most unsatisfactory character,
emanating from the New York Board of
Health, well meaning, no doubt, which are
quite readily evaded. The selling of water
ed milk may be punished, but to give di-
luted milk, or even skim milk to an infant
though it might starve, is hardly
as dangerous as to give it diseased
milk, which is sure to poison it at once.
Dr. Brush writes 81 am convinced that
the greatest cause of disease among infants
in New York City actually arises from the
use of diseased milk, and the mixture of
colostrum with sound milk" 1t may then
be considered positively dangerous to give a
child milk when this milk has been drawn

slonally until the twentieth day, and as a
general rule returns with any disease which
supervenes after delivery, or in case the
mother is attacked by any acute affection
In cases of pleuro-pneumonia in cattle the

THE Nashville American appears
to be laboring under the impression
that sharp conflict is going Oh be
tween different factions in the board
of trustees of the University of
Tennessee, on the question Of pro-
viding for the education of the col
ored youth of the State in connec-
ton with that institution. Our con-
temporary has probably been nisin-
formed as to the extent of such q
conflict. The fact is, the board of
trustees are practically united on the
subject.
The law provides that each
member of the legislature shall
have the privilege Of naming three
students, who may attend the Uni
versity without paying tuition fees.
It further provides that no one shall
be excluded by reason of race or
color. Under these provisions a few
colored students have sought to
avail themselves of the benefits of
the institution. The trustees are
fully alive to the gravity Of the stu
alton. They intend to do the best
thing they can under the law for the
University and all concerned. All
or nearly all, of the students ap-
pointed are willing to attend Fish
University, and the board of Trus-
tees, with a few exceptions, favor
making such an arrangement as viii
allow them to do So That will
probably be the solution of the mat
ter. That will be the best thing al
around-better for the school, better
for the whites and better for the
colored. We failed to mention
above that the law requires thai
separate accommodations shall bf

Avalanche of recent date turns
loose It's food>gates of abuse upon
the Nashville, Knoxville and other
bond-ring newspapers" because GERS
tain of them published at the points
mentioned have advocated a special
session Of the supreme court to
try the State debt case. Now,
the Avalanche has perfect
right to advocate what to its editors
and publishers seems best. They
must be the judges of that. II they
believe that Tennessee ought not to
pay her debts, they have a right to
advocate reputation. If they want
to advocate communism, as taught
by Kearney, we know of no law to
prevent it and desire none. We be-
heye in the greatest freedom of the
press, and would place no restric
ton on an honest expression Of
opinion, however erroneous such ex-
preston may be-

Our readers know that for more than
ten years the CHRONICLE has earnest
ly and constantly advocated the pay
ment of the State debt. We believe
that the payment of the whole
of it, dollar for dollar, with 6 per

every sense than reputation. We
have never wavered on this question
or dealt in ambiguous terms.
The Avalanche has been on
both sides-sometime for pays
ment and sometimes against

the two papers, if the Avalanche has

short on Tennessee bonds,
and whose interest it was to
depreciate their value The lobby
was as strong on one side as the
other and these men know it.
We did advocate special session
of the supreme court to settle this
question. We believe it ought to be
settled promptly. We want to see
our debt placed outside the domain
of speculation, when the organiza
