Editor Dana's Rules on Journal
ism

Charles A. Dana, editor OF the New
York Sun. delivered an address re-
Gently at the Academy Of Music to
the Wisconsin Editorial Association.
The ball was crowded and the veter-
an EDITORS discourse was warmly ap-
plauded.
He said that, a compared TO Eu-
rope, America was far i'm advances.
In The whole of the British Islands
there were not more than bali dozen
papers which would compare with
those Of this country. The same
criticism held good I'm regard 60 the
newspapers Of Germany. There the
papers were remote from the people;
here the press was close to the peo-
pie.
The atmosphere OF freedom was
essential 10 the production Of great
newspapers. A distinction should be
made between American aud Eu-
ropean definitions OF freedom. I'm
France the daily paper would have
one well-written essay. but the re-
mainder Of the sheet would be filed
with matter which in America would
be considered immaterial The news
paper must furnish the Information
the people desire or IL will be q fail
ure The 6rst thing looked for was
news. and by that word the speaker
meant anything which would inter-
est the people. In this connection he
said that whatever Divine Providence
permitted TO occur he was not too
proud to report it. CAppIause aud
laughter
The speaker did not think . college
course in journalism would be of
much value. The one school was
the newspaper Office, aud without II
no man could become q thorough
journalist. Applause and voices
that's So"
RULES FOR JOURNALISTS.
There are no set maxims and rules
for journalists. The doctor sne the
lawyer might have rules. but there
were very few rules that could be MS
ed by newspaper men. Mr.. Dana.
however submitted the following:
First-Get the news. and get all
the news, and nothing but the news.
Second-Copy nothing from an
other publication without perfect
credit.
Third-Neyer print an interview
without the knowledge and consent
of the party interviewed. Laughter
and applause.
Fourth-Never priut paid adver-
tisement as news matter. Laughter
Let every advertisement appear as
an advertisement, no sailing under
false colors. Applause.
FIfth-Never attack the weak or
tho defenceless, either by argument.
by invective, or by ridicule. unless
there is some absolute public neces-
sity for SO doing.
Sixth-Fight for your opinions.
but don't believe they contain the
whole truth, or the only truth.
Seventh-Support your party, If
you have one loud laughter and ap-
plause ], but don't think oil the good
men are in it, aud oil the bad ones
outside of it. Laughter.
Eighth-Above all, know and be.
lieve that humanity is advancing. and
that there is progress in human life
and human affairs applause and
that as sure as God lives the future
will be greater and better than the
present. Applause.
THAT" said Mr. Dana, "is pretty
general code. but it seems to me it
covers the case very we'll"

The mal ried men get bread and beans
And the single men get pie!

When the boys are standing in
You'd not wonder that the Drillers

Or, if you knew the hardships

You'd blot out each and every sin,

And glad am now, how did bow
With the highest heayen's decree.
He listened to my story,
And his eyes began to Gil,
Saying, "blesssd are they who labor
And bow before Gods will ~
A Driller's life, know, is filed
With crosses and with cares,
But beyond the grave he's richer
Than is any millionaire.
. Then | said, st. Peter, tell rue
Are there any drillers here
Yes, the book shows seven thousand

We will go, he said, and see them,

Soon | saw an eclipse gather
On the bright and cleaning sun
And thousand signals told me
That the judgment day had come.

a SEVERE TEST.

A freshet such az that experienced

lated TO show the character Of all sorts
of outdoor works-building road work,
water pipes. etc.-and If they are found
to remain iutact afterwards they may
well be pronounced Of superior quality.
We have rarely seen 50 copious food
in Honolulu, though the natural drain
age is such that it can never lie upon
the ground for any length Of time. 1t
wiz be remembered that some months
ago Mr. G. b. Wilson laid down a new
set OF pipes to supply the city from the
Nuuanu reservoir. Yesterday morning
Mr. G. Fl. White, the Survey Engineer
OF the Fire Department, who is acting as
Deputy Superintendent OF Water Works
during the absence Of Mr.. Wilson on
MolCkai, made an examination Of this
line Of pipes, and reports that in every
instance they have stood the test to per
lection. In the vicinity OF the electric
light works, where it is stated the road
was submerged by rushing torrent to
a depth OF four feet, the pipes, which
are set in masonry, exhibit no signs Of
having suffered. AT the second bridge,
where the water was nearly level with
the roadway, the pipes are equally stable.
At that point on the Nuuanu stream
where the pipes cross it on trussels the
food rose 10 the height OF the iron
girders and the work is as solid as it was
before InGeed such is the case along
the whole line. 1t is also reported tina:
the road up the valley Is in excellent
condition after the freshet, some good
waterways having been constructed
upon it. If this had been done generally
throughout the neighborhood there
would have been fewer complaints Of
bad roads

Tanning Refractory Horses with
Electricity.

The electrical Review describes
some interesting experiments by Prof.
Harrison (of the Veterinary School OF
Harvard College) with the new electrical
device tor controlling refractory horses:
ga few days ago a valuable trotting
horse, which formerly went under the
name of Grey Eagle, and which has
record of %, was sent to the school for
the treatment of fractured jaw, which
had been the result of attempts to con-
troll him. The animal had the habit of
taking the bit in his teeth and boiling.
DIR. Harrison contrived to connect the
bit by two small wires along the reins
with a small galvano-faradic battery,
which was carried In the buggy. It was
so arranged that the driver could give an
electric shock of greater or less intensity
to the horse, but which would not do the
animal any injury. DIR. Harrison took
care to use the continuance only with the
words whoa and steady The trial
was an immediate success. The horse,
after two or three shocks, at once be-
came docile and obeyed its drivers COM
mands instantly. A final trial was given
the horse under trying circumstances.

for the refusal are purely personal. He
considers the prospects for Republican
victory better than for many years and
believes that Cleveland's message, from

AS Pilots solitary, lone,
Sublimely rises oer the plain,
And from its pinnacle of stone.
Like turret high of holy fame.
Looks down with condescending gleam
On hamlet. village. field and stream;
So, toe, above the common crowd,
In solemn grandeur singly rose,
With many native gifts endowed.
The honored chieftain whom we cnose
To lead our armies-even he,
The world-renowned, great Robert Lee.
Thus from a more exalted plain.
Not haughtily as spirit mean,
But with demeanor all urbane.
He looked down calmly on each scene,
And with a wider range ofvi
Mancevered men as few could do.
Peace to his ashes Gatherd all
In marble mausoleum grand;
But in the Dixie capital.
