Crawford, the we'll known CORES
pendent, writes Of a recent oonfab E:
The talk about newspapers ran on for
some time, bringing out odd points.
One public mar said that he supposed
it would make people laugh at first,
but he believed that the paper that
would have a great success in this
country would be one that was run in
the real interests Of the country, and
not as a mere money making machine.
81 know helsaid, that the prevalent
idea is that they are mere commercial
institutions, and that making a news
paper is said to stand on no higher
basis than making boots and shoes,
but l do not agree with this view,
There is a moral accountability which
makes the publication Of o newspaper
one ofgrAve responsibility. Our news
papers need more character. They
Should have absolute integrity Of opin-
ion to begin with, and should be
backed by soma one man whose %
vietions and actions rest upon a high
basis. 1t is strange how the absolute
power Of a great newspaper eats up the
best part Of a man, Dana is not what
he was. He is a crank upon many
subjects, and now he tbirsts for the
power Of the Presidency. Absolute
power ruined Mr.. Storey. WhitelaW
Reid has become sleek and fat since
he has grown rich. The Tribune Is
his relaxation. The Herald of
Bennett is a dcmoralized Institution,
ragged Of ability and naked Of

Joe Medill has been a crank for years.
He eats q lot of books In the evening,
