GOOD ADVICE.

Charles A. Dana, editor of the
New York Sun, IN speech before
the Wisconsin Editorial Association,
laid down few principles which it
would be perfectly proper for Charles
A. Dana as well as other newspaper
editors to take to heart. They are:
|. Get the news, get all the news, and
nothing but the news.
II. Copy nothing from another publ
cation without perfect credit.
Ill. Never print an interview without
the knowledge and consent of the party
interviewed.
". Never print paid advertisement
AS news. matter, Let every advertise
ment appear as an advertisement; no
sailing under false cOlors.
V. Never attack the weak or the de
fenseless, either by argument. by invec-
tive, or by ridicule, unless there is some
absolute public necessity for so doing.
VI. Fight for your opinions but do
not believe that they contain the whole
truth, or the only truth,
VII. Support your party, if you have
one. But do not think that all the good
men are in it, and all the bad ones out
side of it,
VIII. Above all, know and believe that
humanity is advancing; that there is
progress in human life and human af
| fairs; and that, AS sure as God lives, the
future will be greater and better thar
the present or the past
Some of these are hard to live "
to among those who are controlled
by the business department. Com
petition is 50 desperate factor tina
the average capitalist editor is un
unable to do what he knows would
be right. Dana is in favor Of com
petition, if we may believe what HI
says.

GERMANY IN IRONS.

Evidently Soc al-Democrats in
Germany are to be exposed to tiercer
prosecutions than ever, and the
methods now adopted against our
comrades is worthy Of the Russian
Government itself. No man or
woman is safe for a day from the
Vaccinations of police spies and
sudden arrest without reasons given.
Thus does the Great" Bismarck,
in spite of all previous experience,
hope to stamp out the cause whose
success in the near future will show
him to be only temporarily success
full manpuverer. We can remember
the time when Louis Napoleon, say
in January, 1866, was reckoned the
greatest statesman in Europe, and
the whole capitalist press of Great
Britain Frustrated itself before his
supreme intelligence, as it does be-
fore Bismarck's to-day. What re-
mains now of Badinguet's reputation
for foresight and acumenF We
deeply sympathize with our German
comrades in this period of renewed
trial and suffering, but we are conf
dent Of their final victory. Mean
while, the new Emperor is showing
himself worthy his political tutor.
He is, indeed, in plain language, "a
laundering young blackguard;" but
if he chooses to spit in his mothers
face and insult his fathers memory
before all Europe, that is only a
privilege Of Prussian Monarch. -

WHAT OTHERS SAY.
OPPOSING IMMIGRATION.

Mr.. Powderly is in favor of re-
stricting immigration. 1t might
have been good thing for the
Knights of Labor if there had been
restriction " before Mr.. Powderly,
senior, landed at Castle Garden. 1t
is surprising that so many "foreign-
ere" become such stiff-necked Amer
leans after they have been over a
short time, or after they get the
old folks over. And 1t makes a
full-blooded. back-to-P Plymouth Rock
citizen tired to hear fellows raising
their voices against allowing other
poor devils the rights which they
and their daddies enjoyed. 1t is a
fact, however, that those who are
loudest against immigration are
those whose families have not been
here long enough to drop the
brogue.-LabOr Enquirer.

THE TYRANT'S LAW.

The production as evidence before
examining courts of alleged admls-
sions made to officers or detectives
by those under arrest is an abuse of
all forms of Justice that grows al
ways more and more prevalent, Be-
fore warrant can be issued the
grounds for arrest must be made
clear to the mind of him who grants
it by the affidavit of the complain
ing witness. The crime has been
already committed; the proof has
satisfied the official. If on examina-
ton it is not contradicted satifactor-
lily, the commitment follows as Of
course That from the interview in
the "sweat- box" even from the dis
jointed talk on the patrol wagon, the
policeman or detective should be per-
mitted to take the witness stand,
and make the case from the admis-
slons Of men in their powe', is vio-
lation Of every precedent that the
law of a more equitable society than
this has thrown about the man ac-
cused for his protection. He is held
innocent in the eye of Justice until
his guilt established. TO use the ad-
missions he may make while in Gus
tody against him, is in effect to con-
done any method by which the
confession can be procured. The
methods in use by the police and de-
tectlves are akin to the torture, the
legitimate method of tvrants only.
That torture is not now in actual
use IS possible, but every production
of confession implies not only a
weakness IN the case of the proseCu-
ton; 1t implies too hat the confess
sion was extracted and not volun-
tary. How it was extracted, what
devices, ingenious and devilish,
drew it from the trembling wretch
under arrest, that is never revealed.
There is nota justice of the peace
IN all Great Britain and Ireland :,
even under the odiou8 law of the
"suspects, who for a moment would
dare listen to such evidence as that
offered Justice LYON on the hearing
/ of the alleged dynamltprs Unless
the prisoner has been duly warned
OF 1t. no statement he may make
while in custody can be used against
him. Yet upon such evidence as an
English landlord would disdain to
accept against recruit of Captain
Rock, the Anarchists were con-
vlcted. Justice Lyon may plead the
precedent. but the day may come
when he will regret having followed
! it. Chicago Labor Enquirer.

THE MILLS BILL.

The Mills bill, should it become a
law without being further amended ,
will cause a reduction on the average
tariff on imports from $41. 10 on
every 800 worth imported to So 40,
reduction of less than five per
cent, but still enough to reduce the
aggregate revenue from this source
something like $40, 1000, 900 per year.
1t still leaves a tax of S4?.2 on
every 500 worth of goods brought
from foreign countries which the
consumer must pay, and yet it is de
nounctd as a free trade measure,
and its opponents have hOwled them
selves hoarse and written themselves
out Ill an attempt to prove that it,
passage will be followed by the ruin
Of the industries of the country, rs
though a tariff of tritie more than
424 per cent. was not a sufficient
measure Of protection to the So
called infant industries. =
The free list includes a great num-
Der Of articles that are not produced

eminently wise one, and should be,

against the Engineers and Firemen

Why not, indeed? Our capitalist
contemporary confesses to as much
for the benefit Of the American
workman, and the "tricky detec-

snare an American as a foreigner
