THE PROBLEM SoLvED.--That
charitable 4" Citizen - who vented his
spleen in one of last weeks papers ac-
cusing the Odd Fellows of base sell
fishness for enlarging their Hall
necessitating other means of winding
the clock, does not seem to be seeking
information, nor does he appear to be
surfelted with that article. His stock
in trade is abuse. Apparent evils are
sometimes blessings in disguise. The
Odd Fellows and council, after read
ing his article, may relieve their
mind of further search for location
for the town clock, for we are assured
out of his magnanimity of heart that
he would be willing to allow his
dwelling, if he has one, for the pur-
pose. The only annoyance would be
a right of way through his parlor, II
he has one, up through scuttle hole
to the clock. This pathway would
not be used often-only 365 times a
year-the clock is q regular Water
bury on wind.
Should this modest request not be
granted the council could construct a
ladder up over the bay window and
enter through the roof thus keeping
the winder and his mud, oil can, and
wrenches out of the parlor. Thanks
to " Citizen " for the inference which
relieves the Odd Fellows and Council
of this perplexing subject. A Citi-
zenu that would refuse so trifiing q
request should be ostracized from the
society of unselflsh men. But one
more difficulty remains, and that Is
to find the Citizen, Il.

DANA ON THE PRESS.

Charles A. Dana, editor Of the New
York Sun, delivered an address on
July "a, at the Milwaukee Academy
of Music to the Wisconsin Editorial
Association. The speaker did not think
college course in journalism was of
much value. The one school, he said,
is the newspaper Office, and without
it no man can become a thorough
journalist.
There are no set maxims and rules
for journalists. Mr.. Dana, however,
submitted the following:
First-Get the news and all the
news, and nothing but the news, so
help you God.
Second-Copy nothing from anoth-
er publication without complete cred
it.
Third-Never print an interview
without the knowledge and consent OF
the party interviewed.
Fourth-Never print paid adver-
tisement as news matter. Let every
advertisement appear as advertise
ment-no sailing under false colors.
F'ifth-Never attack the weak or
the defenseless, either by argument,
by lnvective or by ridicule, unless
there III some absolute public necessity
for SO doing.
Sixth-Fight tor your opinions, but
don't believe they contain the whole
truth or the only truth.
Seventh-Support your party, il
you have one; but don't think all the
good men are in it and all the bad
ones outside of it.
Eighth-above all, know and be,
lieve that humanity is advancing, and
that there is progress in human hfe
and human affairs, and that, as sure
as God lives, the future will be great,
err and better than the present or the
past.
When every other bulwark is gone
the free press will remain to preserve
the liberties which we shall hand
down to our children and to maintain
the Republic in all its glory, let US
hope, forever and forever.

AN UNUSUAL CLUB EP.-The
demand for thorough discussions of
both sides of the living questions of
the day has induced us to procure for
subscribers to The HERALD cOmbi-
nation rate with the Forum the ablest
American review, by which they may
secure the HERALD practically free.
The price of the HERALD is 50 year,
and the Forum So. For limited
time we will receive subscriptions to
both for SIS year. The Forum is the
New York monthly review in which
the most distinguished writers on
both sides of every question to discuss
living issues. Its contributors lead
and mould public opinion; and dur
ing year, every subject, political,
social, economic, literary and religi-
GUS, that comes up is treated by the
highest authorities. This offer is
made only for few months.
The September Forum (which be-
gins the sixth volume) will contain
review of the Republican National
Platform from Democratic point of
view by Senator Blackburn, of KY.
Plank after plank is taken up and dis
cussed by the light of the Republican
party's record. To this number the
Marquis of Lorne will contribute a
study of the Government of the Unit
ed States, the result of his observation
ton while he was Cover
nor.General of Canada. He writes
with enthusiasm about many fea-
lures of our Government, and points
out several reasons why he regards
republican government as staple. The
third of the series of economic arti-
cles which convey the latest ivestiga-
lions of Mr.. Edwark Atkinson into
the condition of America capital and
labor, is the most instructive that he
has yet written. He shows by dia-
grams how the wage-worker in the
United States has steadily advanced
and how capital continues to receive
diminishing return. The Rev. DIR.
Munger, perhaps the leading Congre-
gational preacher in New England,
will point out the benefits that relig-
ion has received from the death of
many superstitions caused by the
scientific spirit of the time. There
will be seven other articles in the mi
tial number of this new volume on
such subjects as Social Discomfort, the
Effect of High Explosives in Chang
ing the Methods of War, the Manage
ment of Railways. the Public Schools,
and the Increase of the Alcohol Hab-
