RIFLES OF JOURNALISM The New
York Herald among its opinions from
various sources on 'Dana's maxims has
the following;
RICHMOND, August IA, 1ssS.-Captain
Page McCarty, editor Of the DAILY
TINES. said "If there is to be honor in
the great profession Of journalism, as
in all other affairs OF men in this bust
ness age. where character counts for
capital, then a newspaper should pre-
sent itself to the public without mask
on any of its features. To give the com
plcxion of an editorial opinion or the
countenance Of a correct news report TO
an advertisement is simply odious"
Colonel Richard F. Beirne, editor and
owner of the State, said "Mr. Danas
msxims fix the proper standard for Il
newspaper which should be adhered TO
without variation. If reading matter
published as an advertisement does not
clearly disclose that fact on its face, or
by reason of its position ia the paper, il
should be marked as an advertisement"
Editor Charles OBrien COwardin OF
the Dispatch said 81 do not approve OF
printing advertisements as news | mean
that advertisements should be printed AS
advertisements so MS not to mislead the
reading public. The advertisements
should be marked and properly distin-
guished from legitimate reading matter.
! am opposed to anything like faxed
journalism, as il tends TO lower the stand
ard and degrade an honorable prJfes-
SION"
Judge A. w. c. NOwlan, the editor Of
the Wing, said MIR. Dana's maXims J
regard as admirable preCepts for the gov
eminent of all reputable journals, and if
they were more generally observed they
would elevate journalism 10 a far higher
plane than it now occupies. The fourth
maxim-never print paid advertisement
as news maiter-meets my hearticst APP
probation. In fact, | aoominale the
custom, now so very prevalent, OF print
ing advertisements in news type and
mixed with news matter. Ii is decep-
ton, a sailing under false tolors, which
the profession for its own honor Ough,
to discountenance.
WHAT Is FAMEs w. f. Schmerjz OF
Pittsburg, came over in the City of New
York. Said he in an interview in the
Pittsburg Commercial gazette:
A conversation that ! heard on the
steamer The second day illustrates The
dense ignorance Of even educated Eng
lishmen in regard to our political affairs
Two Scotchmen and an Australian were
talking about the voyage. The Austria
liam was member of the Colonial Par
lament, and the Scotchmen were both
men of intelligence. One of the latter
said:
"Ex President Hayes is on board, at
the same time pointing out Blaine.

Blaine"
"Impossible," said the Australians
"Jim Blaine has been dead these ten
years. Record.

WHERE IS THE BLAME-The resump
tion of work at the Pittsburg glass fac
tories, where over 1000 hands are EN-.
ployed, is one proof of the faseness and
folly of the Republican cry about bust
ness depression in consequence of the
passage of the Mills bill II the final en-
actmcnt of that measure were assured
activity in our industries would take IA
mighty stride. Such depression as has
existed has arisen from the obstructive
course of the Republicans in Congress.

The UNIVERSAL BAZAR-We have al |
ready noticed the tendency to concentrate
the trade in special lines of business I'M

under one ont Organization all prominent
parties engaged in it. There is another
departure from the old mercantile ways
of still greater significance and involving
far more serious consequences 10 those
most deeply concerned We refer 10 the |
concentration under one roof of all classes
of merchandise to be sold by single firm
