phatic denial to that oft-told tale, and proved

always be well patronlzed here while an in
ferior one will often suffer- Both halls were
crowded. AT the City Hall the New Orleans
Minstrels drew very large audience. The
splendid band accompanying them charmed
all hearers during the day and evening and
the performance itself realized the high eX-
pectations it aroused. The New Orleans
Minstrels are first-cass. Their music, es-
pecially the cornet playing, is supurb. Their
solos and quartettes were splendid and their
double clogs irrestible. All in all they fur
nish an entertainment worth more than the
price charged for admission.-AJt0n,( (W.)

NEWSPAPERS AS BUSINESS ENTER
PRISES.
New York Tribune.

A newspaper is business enterprise, and
must be conducted on business principles.
Aen are constantly asking favors from
newspapers, which mean sacrifice Of space
representing money, who would never dream
OF asking lawyers to take cases without
fees, or expect doctors to take their pay in
thanks. The dead-head is disappearing
from other departments of business life,
and the newspaper dead.head, distinguish
ed though he may be, must follow. News
papers, being business enterprises, must
live in business way. If the public does
not support the best newspapers it must
expect to see the worst newspapers thrive.
The daily journal ia a product rather than
force. 1t will not only reflect, but re-
present the age it lives in. 1t is true, and
especially true of our own country, that
newspapers, in the hands of men having
convictions and believing that they could,
with this modern lever, help to move 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 snai's pace, But this was
possible only because they had the support
and sympathy of the best men and women
of the community, The newspapers can
lead, but leadership implies a following,
and where none will follow none will be
brave enough to lead. AS a rule, newspa-
pers are what their readers make them.
The responsibility of the subscriber is as
great in its way as that of the editor. The
surest way of keeping the standards of our
journalism high, and of raising them, is for
that portion of the public which knows the
value and necessity of dignifed and able
press to withhold its support altogether
from newspapers which cater to depraved
tastes and are reckless of the truth, and to
give it to newspapers which can safely be
taken into the family and are not only de-
cent but just.

TELL US 1.-THE WHY'S AND WHERE
FORES."

In a recent issue of the Pulaski Patrio
appeared the following:
captain John r. Thomas, our membe
of congress, has been in this district fo
two weeks looking after the wants of hii
constituents. During the entire suffering Of
the late President Garfield, Captain Thomas
was at or near Washington, so that in case
of an emergency he would be at his post
ready to serve his country and his party
The captain returns to Washington next
week.
Mr.. Barton, of the Free Press, a good re
publican, but also spunky one, who will
not allow himself to be hoodwinked into
silence when an official, though also re-
publican, is guilty of an act injurious to the
public, replies to this gushing squib of the
Patriot in the manner following, to-wit:
"Good That's the kind of congressman
to have! Spent two whole weeks in the
district! Good again Looking after the
interests of his constituents! Splendid
We doubt not Mr.. Thomas will be candi-
date for third nomination. The Pulaski
Patriot is one of his sincere admirers, and
to show that we appreciate our congress-
mans services, we copy as above. Two
years ago we thought Mr.. Thomas was I'M
fit for his position, and worked against his
nomination; but after reading the above
brilliant record, it is just possible that we
made mistake. Now, if our obese friend
of the Patriot will tell us the why's and
wherefores of Mr.. Thomas voting against
the bill appropriating for improvements of
western rivers, it is possible we shall be-
come an admirer of our representative.
viii Joseph please enlighten the public
and usG
Doubtless the Patriot is quite equal to
the little task imposed upon it by the Free
Press. The corpulent editor of the Patriot,
who enjoys such close friendship with the
corpulent congressman, that he is made the
confdant of all the little episodes of the
congressman's life at Washington, has no
doubt received full and very satisfactory
explanation ofthe important matter referred
to by the Free Press and will at once en-
tighten that inquisitve sheet upon the sub
ect THE BULLETIN too must acknowledge
with slight blush to desire for enlight-
mcnt on this point.
But there is also another little matter
which would seem to require some explain
alton from the Hon j, r. Thomas, or his
corpulent friend of the Patriot-at least it
would seem to require one, lest the obtuse
Free Press and the unknowing BULLETIN
and host Of other journals and people of
little understanding, charge the Hon. John
Robert with despicablc duplcity The
question is this Why did the Hon. John
Robert write to young Thomas II. Smith
Jr., of the Hon. Johns own town, and a
worthy, intelligent son Of the gallant Col.
Thomas II. Smith, who fell at the battle OF
Fort Donaldson --why did the Hon. John
write to this young man that he should be
notified of a competitive examination,
when he might have the opportunity to try
his chances for a cadetship at West Point,
and then, without any further notice, Ap.

course to the established mode Of competi.
