poL1rgNEss AND ITS PLACE.

Sir Arthur Helps had the happy faculty
of putting expressions of wisdom into a
very few words. 1t was he who said
" familiarity should not swallow up cour.
tssy." Probably one-half of the rudeness
of youths of this day, that later in life
will develop very often into brutality, is
due to the failure of parents to enforce in
the family circle the rules of courtesy.
The son or daughter who is discourteous to
members Of the family because of familiar
ty with them, is very likely TO prove rude
and overbearing to others, and very certain
to be tyrant in the households over which
he or she may be called on to preside.
There is at this day undeniably among the
rising generation lack Of courteous de-
meanor in the family. OF all places in the
world, let the boy understand home is the
place where he should speak the gentlest,
and be the most kindly, and there ia the
place of all others where courteous de-
meanor should prevail. The lad who is
rude to his sister, impertinent to his
mother, and vulgar in his home, will prove
a sad husband for a suffering wife, and a
cruel father to unfortunate children. The
place for politeness, as Helps puts it, is
where we mostly think it superfuous.

seven great papers Of New York consti-
tuting the original Associated Press of this
country remain in association chiefly for
the purpose of covering the common place
intelligence of the day, but in the main
the news columns of these papers reflect
the individual enterprise OF each. When
really important interesting events occur,
the Associated Press or common report is
sacrificed, and the space devoted to the
publication of either individual or combi-
nation specials. Combined specials are in
a sense associated press reports-that is,
they are brought by special association.
The game observation is true of the papers
published in Chicago. For some time the
tendency has been, and still continues
to be, to support the common report and
reduce its Office to the presentation of the
common place; and this is what has
actually happened TO the old standard re.
port as it appears in the press of New
York and Chicago. In the interest of
economy, and to dispose cheaply of that
which is necessarily common and accessible
to all, common report derived from the
Associated Press news, an abstract of what
is the common report at Chicago, to the
extent Of 4. 500 words in the night time for
publication in the morningpapers and l 800

the RECORD UNIONS nonpareil-in the day
time for the evening papers. will be trans
mitted to this coast and delivered in mani
fold to all the papers heretofore publishing
the Associated Press news, whether as
principals or customers. But the economy
sought is merely in the interest of a
broader and higher effort in the fields OF
journalism not covered or represented by
this stereotyped report. The representation
therefore that the journals are about to
enter upon a dead sea level stereotyped
monotony is far from the truth. The true
significance of the changes about to take
place is in the direction of inaugurating an
era in the news service which viii try by
the severest test the skill, energy, and en-
durance of every journal aspiring to the
position Of frst.class newspaper, in
which contest the law of the survival of
the fttest will find fresh application and
illustration. So far from having reached
state of fossilization, journalism on the
Pacific coast is at the door of broader
and higher plane of enterprise. Instead of
proceeding upon any road of monotony and
stagnation, the way opening invites to a
rivalry very far from being in the interest
of the financially weak. In this contest
associated relations have not undergone
any change in any essential particular.

A GRACEFUL ACT.

The appointment by the Federal author
tiles of the well known writer H. H., }"
Mrs. Helen Hunt Jackson, to an important
service of inquiry into the condition of the
MissioniIndians in the southern part of this
State, is a graceful act and recognition OF
the ability to discharge trust without re-
gard to the sex of the person. "Where a
woman is qualified for public duty, and it
is within her physical powers, why not
open TO her the door to enter into public
service whenever her tastes so incline her %
is the question the advocates of "woman's
higher work are constantly propounding,
and the question is every day being replied
to with more and more of affirmative adj
mission.
