THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL.
A NEWSPAPER WITHOUT A PEER.

Warsaw Times.
We have frequently had occasion to speak
of the merits of the indianapolis Journal as
a newspaper par excellence. A year ago we
thought it could not be much improved
upon, but we discover almost every week
since something more worthy of attention
and commentator. The Journal is, indeed
a newspaper without peer; far superior in
every particular to what is now the COM
mercial Gazette, of Cincinnati, paper that
since the intermarrage, have both sunk
nearly out of sight compared with what
they once were, but especially the latter

Hoosiers to take, first and foremost after the

ALONGSIDE OF THE BEST IN THE COUNTRY.
Martin County Tribune.
Right at this time we desire to come in and
bear testimony to the great superiority of
the indianapolis Journal over all other
dailies in Indiana. In fact we can, with
safety, place the Journal alongside the lead
ing dailies of the country without fear of
having to hang our head with shame over its
inferority Most newspaper men would be
satisfied to rest on the reputation already
made by the Journal. Not so with John G.
New & Son, for before the next campaign
opens they propose to enlarge and otherwise
improve their paper. Every Republican in
Martin county who is able to take another
paper In addition to the Tribune should sub

The Journal has no job Office, does no other

greatly annoyed by this confusion Of names,
so much so that for months a notice was
kept standing at the head of our columns to
to the effect that the two concerns were en-
tirely distinct, and had no business relations
whatever. We shall expect the Democrat to
take cognizance of its remarkable blunder.

WE could fill the Journal with extracts
from the press of the country upon the
strike of the telegraphists, but it would be
useless. The tone of the comment is prac-
tically monotone The demands of the
operators are universally regarded as too ex-
IRENE; but there is enough justice in them
to warrant the company In treating fairly
and honestly with their employees. 1t
sounds little absurd to hear such corporate
monopolies as the Western Union Telegraph
Company, headed by Jay Gould, talk of the
danger of federated labor. Against federated
capital labor has no other chance but to
federate. The pot calling the kettle black
has never been regarded as an impressive
spectacle

A TELEGRAPH OPERATOR, in a card to the
News, says that it is well known that Jay
Gould controls the Associated Press" and
the Review, of Saturday last, contained this
paragraph:
''The telegraph operators can hardly ex-
pect much sympathy from the metropolitan
dailies which constitute the Associated Press.
The league between the Associated Press and
the Western Union Telegraph Company is
the most arbitrary and unreasonable monop-
oily in the country. The dailies will have to
stand By the telegraph companies"
These statements show how far from the
truth ignorance, if nothing worse, will lead
people. The fact, amply demot strated by
the extracts we have published and yet pub
fish, is that the press of the country, almost
without exception, sympathizes in the main
with the striking operators, and denounces
the telegraph companies without stint. So
far from Jay Gould controlling the Associ-
ated Press" the great majority of the papers
comprising that association have not spared
him the severest castigation, and the
editorials in the leading journals must
be anything but pleasant reading for him.
The Review certainly can have no excuse for
so fragrant misrepresentation OF the attitude
OF the newspaper press. There is no league
between the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany and the Associated Press. The latter
has contract with the former for the daily
carriage of a certain number of words of its
report, and its 'league" is precisely that of
any other customer 1t enjoys exceptional
facilities by reason OF its being large patron,
just as any wholesale customer is given bet
ter terms than small retailer. The Asso-
ciated Press is absolutely Independent of the
telegraph company-a fact demonstrated

ONE of the most prominent Republicans in
Indiana sends the Journal letter, in which
he says:
81 desire both to thank you for and congrat
ulate you upon the article headed Available
Men in the Journal of July 10. There is
pungency in it, and very great political wis
dom. The sooner we utterly extnguish the
idea that we must run around after some
unknown for the presidency, instead OF
putting up some of our able and experienced
men who have solid vittles' in them the
better for us. If we stand firmly on the
great foundation already laid since 1860, and
advocate boldly our policy and measures,
all who would under any circumstances go
with US will be with us under the lead of
some of our real leaders Then when we
have elected a real leader what a wonderful
advantage we have.

AT first glance the proposition that young
children should be prohibited from working
in factories and at other hard labor seems to
admit of no reasonable objection. 1t is a
humane and not sentimental view which
regards child whose days are spent in toll
as one wrongfully deprived of childhood's
privleges-the right to become fitted physi-
cally and mentally by play and study for
after life. 1t is question, however which
has two sides. New Jersey has legislated
against the working of children; but the law,
like many laws, while benefit to the multi
tude works hardship to the few, In one New
Jersey pottery the inspectors found girl Of
twelve at work. Her employer explained
that he had discharged her some weeks be-
fore in compliance with the law, but when
he afterwards met her begging on the street
he took her back. The inspectors had no
choice but to forbid the child to work, as the
law had not contemplated the alternative of
employment or starvation.

PRIVATE letter from an old Indianian,
now in Kansas, engaged in sheep culture,
says:
81 think l shall go out of the sheep bust
ness unless the tariff is changed back to its
former place Wool was low enough before
the reduction, and now it don't pay much.
don't know a sheep man in this country
but what wants to sell out or fatten their
sheep and put them on the market The re-
dnction will not benefit the consumer one
cent, whereas it will drive the wool producer
out of business and be no benefit to anybody
except the commission men and manufac-
turers."
Of course, the able free-traders or tariff-for
revenue-only people will say that the sheep
men better go out of the business, that is all.
That is the novel and conclusive argument
with these statesmen.
