The American NeMsp,per.

A newspaper Is u business enterprise,
and must be conducted OF business
principles. Men are constantly asking
ftvors from newspapers. says the New
York Tribune. which mean a sacrifice
Of space representing money. who
would never dream Of asking lawyers to
take cases without fees. or expect their
doctors to take their pay in thanks
Newspapers being business enterprises,
must 1--we in a business way. The
daily journal is n product rather than Il
force. 1t will not only ref, c; bat rep.
resent the age il lives in. 1t is true,
aud especially true Of our own country,
that newspnp r. in tho hands Of neil
having convictions aud believing that
they could. with this modern lever hclr
to move the world, have accomplished
great things. Without them the gren,
movement for the past century for the
furthcrauce Of personal, religious and
political Liberty would have travelled a
n suuI!'s pace. AS n rule. newspaper
are what their lea lers make them. Tn,
responsibility Of the subscriber is n,
great III its way US that Of the editor
The surast way Of keeping the STANDARD
OF our journalism high. and Of raIsin,
1t. is for that portion OF the public
which knows the necessity of n digni
fed and able press to withhold il
support altogether from newspaper,
which cater TO depraved tests aui ur,
reckless Of the Truth, and to give it t,
newspapers which can safely be taLtI
into the family, aud are not only decen
but just.

Tho San Francisco Pest says: "a
poor washer woman. near tho pavilion,
who could not afford to decorate on tho

displaying n white petticont. upon
which red, black aud yellow stockings
wsro pinned in tho form Of q Maltese

Four Thousand Rolling MIL workmen
IdIe-strikes OF Painters, Carpenters,
and Others.
New YORK, April 16.-The journeymen
carpenters made demand on their employees
for pay at the rate of $3.50 per day, and that
eight hours should constitute days work on
Saturday. But few Of tho men, it was said,
left off work, as a majority of the shops agreed
to comply with the demand. In twelve shops
where the employees refused the demand work
was stopped, when the men were told TO re-
sumo thoir labor at their own terms. Two
other of the shops where the men had struck
sent word later to the carpenters committee
that they would pay the rates demanded and
asking for fifteen men to 60 to work at once.
One other shop sent for two men. Commit
tees are to-day visiting the different shops,
and 1t is said are meeting with great
success, as a number of men who did not be-
long to the union have struck aud taken part
in the movement. The carpenters com
mittee stated that they wero fighting two
large shops which were expected to give in
to-day. The men are greatly pleased ut the
success which has attended their movement
so far.
On account of the wet weather to-day few
painters went to work, and consequently the
strike which was contemplated did not occur.
The men, however, will lay their demands
for $3.50 per day before their employers dur
ing the day, and If they are not agreed to
will go on a strike.
CHICAGO, April 16.-Presldent Potter, lof
the North Chicago rolling mills, states that
the mills will again be in operation in three

be started while the present prices continue.
Four thousand men have been thrown out of
work by the stoppagc of these mills. Mr.
Potter thinks that one-third of the rails

for the laborers now out Of employment is a
