WE have brother-in law who is pub
fishing daily newspaper in the thriving
city of Quincy, in Illinois. The paper
was one year old Sept. nth, and in his
editorial, covering a retrospect of the year,
Mr.. Wheeler says something's which we
think are worth reproduction. Below we
give an extract:
The Journal has made some blunders
during it's one years life. We can see them
now just as clearly as any one else. We
are not infallible We shall err in the
future, rs We have in the past. But this
fact should he remembered: When a blum
der shall be made, if we can be made to
see 1t, we shall set matters to rights as
quickly and as pleasantly as we know how.
1t is a difficult matter TO run paper fault
lessly; to run it without making mistakes.
1t is more than we arc able to do, or ever
hope TO be able to do. And there is this
thing about newspaper: 1t lives pub
lie life. 1t is always on the stage. Never
off. A newspaper can never go behind
the scenes It's every act is a public one.
Every error it makes is made before the
public's gaze The errors in every other
walk in life can be made privately-and
being thus made are not known. We shall
make errors in the future; we don't know
how to avoid them. We wish we did.
We indulge the belief that The Journal
is valuable addition to Quincys news
papers. We have tried to run it in the
interest of this community as a whole.
We have tried to run it in the interest of
fair morals, and of manly decency We
have tried 10 deserve the good will of good
men, of manly men, and the i'll will of the
eraceless scamps and unprinciplcd whelps
Of every kind and character. The curses
of scoundrel are music to our ear. When
we skin scamp we expect to hear him
suueal-and we like to hear him squeal.
If we have run the THE Journal so that
good men will say a good word for it,
and the scamps and rogues curse it in
round terms, we are content.

THE 18th Consecutive Annual Inter

THE 18th Consecutive Annual Inter
State Exposition will he held in Chicago
September 3 to October IS, inclusive.
Except, possibly, the old American In
stitute. the Chicago Industrial EXPOSE
ton is. we believe, the only organization
of its class which for long series of
years has held its exhibitions without
intermisslon, or which has been uniformly
successful in the high character Of its
display or in financial results. Having
only $4,000 from subscriptions to its
capital stock in 1878, it has paid it's cur
rent expenses, made all necessary repairs
and expended over six hundred thousand
dollars on construction and personal
property accounts, and is entirely out OF
debt to-day. The average annual attend
ancc of visitors paying admission is about
400, 900 or 10000 per day for forty days.
No similar organization in America can
show any such record of well Ide-
served success. Like the city of Chicago
and the Northwest its progress has been
without parallel.
All transportation lines in the north
west will give their lowest excursion rates
to visitors. Admission to building, adults
% cents; children 10 cents. The Exhl-
bition will be open every day except
Sunday, from a. m. to Top. m.

The Kasson Republican gives the fol-
lowing account of an awful lightning
stroke Sept. Sd:
Mr.. Currier and family, in company
with Mr.. Thorn and family, were going
after plums, and when about three miles
southeast Of Dodge Center, an ominous
cloud was seen rising in the southwest,
which soon overlook them. The rain
commenced falling, and Mrs. Thorn rails
ed an umbrella which she was holding
over herself and child and Mrs. Currier,
who were occupying the middle seat.
Suddenly flash Of liz htning leaped from
the passing cloud, instantly killing the
horses, jumping over Mr. Thorn and Mr..
Currier, striking the umbrella, tearing it
into shreds, then striking Mrs. Currier
just above the left car, fracturing the
skull, from which she bled very profuse-
ly. She died instantly. Other than this
there was no breaking of the skin, but
her clothing was literally torn into gun
wadding.
