WE think some journals are too sever

WE think some journals are too severe in their censure of Rev J. B. Bonar of New Milford, Conn.,, and they evidently believe, ''When a man is down, down with him P No doubt MT Bonar is guilty of plagiarism, but he probably regrets it more than any one else cdn. Remember the good he has done in over quarter of a century of his ministry; remember the extenuating circumstances, his physical and mental health, and don't crush him entirely, but give him Q chance to recover from this injudicious act. Don't put him beyond the reach of sympathy or forgiveness remember, ''To err is human, to forgive divine. Remember, even the Apostle Peter was overtaken in a fault, but he was given an opportunity to re-instate himself
 What wedding out of editors there would be if the boot was on the other foot and Meir plagiarism exposed. To illustrate: An exchange recently copied word for word long and interesting article from the NEWS and failed to give credit for it. This was not the first offence, so we politely called their at tention to it and the answer we received was, Don't blame you bit We won't do so any more." Yes, furthermore, there was profane word prefixed to the word bit. Plagiarism just at present seems to be an unpardonable sin for a minister, but we would not wonder if some of Mr Bonar's accusers were them. selves guilty of plagiasiapa

 | A root and herb doctor named Amos A. Dowd who has an office at the viii lage of Housatonic, finds himself within the grasp of the law, charged with sell ing intoxicating liquors without a i- cense. His trial occurred before the district court Saturday afternoon, Judge Rowley presiding with Lawyer Dewey as prosecutor and Lawyer Joyner for the defense. There were 10 or 12 wit nesses against the doctor and as the evi- dence was so conclusive the justice sen- fenced him to pay a fine ofone hundred dollars on each of the five charges, or five hundred dollars and costs in all and he was confined in the house of correc- tion at Pittsfeld three months. From this decision Dowd appeals to the supe- rior court and has given 5000 for ap- pearance in January Some of the sales were by the drink and pint and were on Sundayto the young men of the village What makes the matter worse is Dowd is police officer and while arresting others was guilty himself. The better class of citizens aided in his prosecu- tion.

Says the Bloomfield indicator: "a
correspondent to the Ironton REGISTER
in an article upon the questioned pro-
hibition says says; Many of the liquor
dealers and gamblers. of Kansas took
advantage of this liberty to make their
homes i'm Missouri and elsew here, when
prohibition went into force In that
State; hence our State is becoming an
asylum for the Incorporate class of
those States that have the prohibitory
law. Crime is therefore diminished i'm
one and increased in the other.' We
think the correspondent is mistaken in
his assertion, however, as to the GRIM
inals and liquor drinkers:".coming to
this State from Kansas, as the statis-
ties of this State show that since the
prohibition amendment i'm Kansas was
adopted the number of saloons and the
number of crimes committed have de.
creased; while i'm Kansas the number
Of crimes and the number of saloons
have increased. A further proof that
such is not the case appears from the
fact that since the amendment was
adopted i'm Kansas there have gone in
tn that State enough of whisky men to
elect whisky candidates"

Our brother Of the Outlook is carrying his
head mighty high these days. Cause a 13.

Says the Charleston Enterprise: sThe
salary of Rev. c. O. Jones, our Methodist
minister is $500 year. Rev. Al. Hess, our
Baptist minister is to get $1,000. Both gen.
tlemen are as fine looking and good preach
ers as are in the State"
The Democrat sounds note of warning to
school officers in Jefferson county, and as it
applies equally to all sections we copy it:
"As the 'school-map man. is again in our
county, we want to remind school officers of
the past experience with him and advise
them to let him find market for his worth
less wares somewhere else. Directors who
make purchases of him will be apt to have
tO'pay the money out Of their own pockets,
SO we again say-beware"
We fully agree with Bro. McMullin of the
JEFFERSON Democrat in his view Jas to the av-
erage advertising agent. He is, of all 'mid-
die men," the slickest, the most persistent,
and most likely to succeed in the end. Here
what Mac says of him: "The kindness Of
advertising agents is getting to be really op-
pressive. We could actually I'LL our whole
paper with advertisements from them, at
from one-fourth to one-fifth Of our usual
rates, but we have not yet succumbed to
their blandishments.''

coming in are against prohibition.
On some of the petitions there are as
many as three thousand names; and
when the votes are counted, there will
doubtless he found double as many
against the submission Of the question
as there are in favor of it. What will
be the fate of the question is hard to
tell. The House is divided into three
classes OIL this subject, viz: Those who
are opposed to the submission, those
who are in favor of submission and
those who will be governed by the Pc
titions of their constituents. Some
are in favor of holding caucus to de-
eide the matter, as they consider that
the Democrats will be held responsible
no matter what action may be finally
taken, and that therefore the holding
of o caucus is the only way to decide
the matter. Some of the most pro-
nounced anti-prohibitionists are pledg-
ed to vote for submission, their con-
stituents desiring it; and there is no
way for them to vote their sentiments
unless caucus is called to decide the
matter.
Bills have been introduced to repeal
the fish law, to abolish the State |
Board of Immigration and also the Of
flee of Railroad Commissioner. There |
is SO much uncertainty in regard to the !
fate of these bills that it is not safe for !
me to express an opinion as to the ulti-
mate result. at this writing, but will
inform your readers in due time.

Prohibition.

The prohlbitionists are somewhat dazed by
the attitude Of the opposition. They were
evidently looking for strong delegation here
in the interest of the liquor men, but there is
none and no rumors of any coming. On the
contrary, they seem to be waiting to let the
Legislature do as it thinks best, trusting to
the good sense Of the Democratic members.
There is good story told of Gov. Chas. L.
johnson, who is expected here soon with
some others in the same interest. On q re-
ceLt visit he was,met by Jasper Burks. JAS
per asked the Governor to 60 to his room.
The Governor hesitated, but finally went.
On their arrival, Burks produced sample
of XX Derby & Days best and requested the
Governor to join. "Why, Jasper" the Gov
ernor said, "you are certainly joking:" "No,
indeed; well remember the many evenings
that enjoyed in your most hospitable quar-
tiers two years ago, when you and | were
members. You were well supplied with
wines, liquors and cigars, of the best, too,
and during your absence from the capital
you entrusted me with the keys that might

THE SUN.
NEW YORK, 1883.

More pei SONS have read THE SUN during tn.
year just now passing than ever before since
1t Was first printed. No other newspaper
published on this side OF the earth has beer
bought and read in any year by 80 many mel
and women.
We are credibly informed that people buy
read aud like THE Sun for tine following rea
sons, among others:
tive form and with the greatest possible accu.
racy whatever has interest for mankind: the
events, the deeds and misdeeds. the wisdom.
the philosophy, the notable folly, the solid
sense, the improving nonsense-aii the news
of the busiest world at present revolving in
space.
Because people have learned that in it's re-
marks concerning persons and affairs The
Sun makes practice of telling them the ex.
act truth to the best of its ability three hun
dred and sixty. five days In the year. before
election as well as after, about the whales as
we'll as about the small fish, in the face Of
dissent as plainly and fearlessly as when
supported by general approval. THE Sun has
absolutely no purposes to serve, save the
information of its readers and the furtherance
of the common good
Because it is everybody's newspaper. No
man is SO humble that THE Sun Is Indifferent
rich that it can allow injustice to be done
him. No man, no association of men, is
powerful enough to be exempt from the strict
application of its principles OF right and
wrong.
Because Ia politics 1t his FOUGHT for dozen
years, without interInission and sometimes
almost alone among newspapers, the light
that has resulted In the regent overwhelming
popular verdict against RObesonism and Tor
honest government. No matter what party
is In power, THE SUN stands and will continue
to stand like rock for the interests of the
people against the ambition of bosses, the
Entertainments Of monopolists, and the dis
honest schemes of public robbers.
All this Is what We are told almost daily
ty our friends. One man holds that THE Sun
Is the test religious newspaper ever published.
because its Christianity is undiluted with cant.
Another holds that it is the best Republican
newspaper printed, because it has already
whipped half of she rascals out of that party,
and is proceeding against the other hall with
undiminfshed vigor. a third believes 1t to be
the best magazine Of general literature in ex-
istenee, because its readers miss nothing
worthy Of notice that is current IN the world
OF thought. So every friend Of THE sen dis
covers one of its many sides that appeals with
particular force to his individual liking.
II you already know THE Sun, you will oh
serve that In 1889 1t is little better than ever
before. Ifyou do not a!rss iy know The Sun,
