There are two classes Of editors of
newspapers. One class which follows
the style and habits Of Newspaper
editors, who, fifty years ago, conceived
the notion that the chief end of news
paper was to make its columns a vehi-
sle for all kinds of abuse and libel
against every one who crossed their
path in the newspaper field. The other
class, compoeed of men of stroag moral
and intellectual purposes, who At the
period of which We speak, conceived
the true and high mission of . news-
paper to te transmitter of news, an
educator of the moral aud intellectual
nature of the people, . promoter and
defender of the best interests Of the
people, . watchman standing on tbs
outer wallis s1SSys 1,s,Syy,s ready and vigilsnt
danger. This latter class has been
largely instrumental in pushing forward
the lines of civilization, civil and relig-
ious liberty, the development of science,
the universal diffusion of knowledge,
and have thus proven themselves the
grsstess benefaotors of mankind. They
thus raised the standard of journalism
to that high moral plane where it has
become . great power for good. The
first class which We mentioned above
have never risen to this plane, and
never will. They have no moral per-
ception to understand what would be
their duties on this plane TO which de-
cent Journalism has attained through
its own merit and worth. This first
class are moral outcasts, drsary suag-
mirss and filthy pools in the great field
Of journalism from which arise that
foul stencil and heAlth-distroying malaria
which so poison and sicksn mankind.
You need not be deceived about such
journals. Their columns are always
an index to their character. They are
constantly making heavy draws upon
the whole vocabulary of the English
language for supplies Of Oillingsgste.

TO their foul, filthy thoughts. Their
