Newspaper Ethics.
Printers' Circular.

A lawyer, when asked to plead a
cause, demands his fee before he opens
his persuasive mouth. You may hang
and go to the naughty one before he
will give you his legal service gratis.
If one desires to know what invest
ments are good and likely to be prof
liable, the broker who advises him is
quite sure to charge a commission for
making the purchase. Why, then,
should IN editor be expected to advO-
cate all sorts of public projects pro DO
ne publicoP The contractors for i'm
prOvements make money out of them.
Why should they not pay the editors
who present their arguments to the
public 1t is not considered derOga-
tory for the highest lawyer i'll the land
To appear before the city council and
advocate the granting of franchise
but the editor who charges money for
doing the same thing is assaulted with
cries of ga subsidized press" We are
not saying that the cry is unjust, but
we do ask where the difference is be-
tween that which the lawyer is praised
for doing and that for which the editor
is denounced. The man from whom
the lawyer asks n fee proceeds to draw
his check the man from whom the
editor asks pay cries "blackmail." Yet
both do the self-same thing. Why is
there one code of morals for the bar
and another for the press

Christmas Giving.
Good Housekeeping.

Christmas giving is too often reduc-
ed to a matter of debit and credit. The
true Christmas spirit is that which so
pervades the giver that no thought OF
Indebtedness in part, or gain in future
Christmases, presents ltself-but SIM
ply this feeling: II love my friend,
this little gift may serve to convey my
regard, and to be a memento of our
friendship" Such a present, given
ungrudgingly, entirely Invested of the
thought that the same amount expend-
ed by the donor would purchase some
thing much desired, and unlikely to be
received, savOrs of Christmas delight
But not more so than the anonymous
gifts to the poor, especially to children
to whom the blessed day would other
wise be a meaningless blank; for all
the sentiments and traditions of Christ
mas may be crowded in one bright,
happy little face. 1t WAS perhaps,
fearful face the night before its little
owner had been told that Santa Claus
was too POOR to bring gifts these hard
times, and both mother and child had
stifled il sigh and sob. Then came
the anonymous offering, and what ra-
diant countenances and shining eyes
greeted the morning SUM- There, if
you please, was wassail, mistletOe, and
plum pudding, there was holly and
turkey, and cranberry sauce and mince
pies. There, above all, was the image
of the child who came to bless the
world, and who, through the medium
of those happy eyes, smiled blessing
upon the deed done i'll His name.

The Push for Office.
Washington Corresponding.

The republican congressman are al
ready complaining of the pressure for
places. Many of them sigh for the
days when they had no offices to give
or promise, and the democrats retoit
upon them the satirical commiseration
they have received in the past four
years. If Harrison follows Cleveland's
policy of letting democrats serve out
their terms he will have little to give
outside of Washington for more than a
year after his Inauguration. OF the
$500 presidential post-Offices, only
about % were filled during the special
session of the senate in March, 1885.
Others were suspended during the
months that followed, but the four
year terms of their successors date
from their confirmation by the senate
in the spring and summer of 1886.
They will not expire till 1890.
Among the officers of this sort in West
ern Massachusetts are Chicopee, Len
OK. Northampton, Springfield and
WiIIiamstown. The office at Amherst
il one of the few where the commission
expires in 1889. Postmaster Couch
was confirmed March %, 1885.

A Story That VIII Bear Repeating.
Toronto Herald.


A certain fort in the far west, so the
story goes, was in command of a major
of artillery who constantly lamented
that his favOrite arm could not be more
frequently used against the Indians
Finally, one day he took one of the
small hOwitzers, which defended the
fort, and had it securely strapped to the
back of an army mule with the muzZle
projecting over the animals tail.
With this novel gun carriage he pro-
ceeded in high feather with a captain
and sergeant to bluff on the bank of
the Missouri, near which camped
band of friendly Indians. The gun
was duly loaded and primed, the fuse
inserted and the mule backed to the
edge of the bluff. The major remarked
something about the moral effect the
the Indian allies, and stepped gaily
forward and applied the match.
The curiosity of the mule was
aroused. He .jerked his head around to
see what was fizzing away on his neck,
and the next second his feet were all
punched together and making forty
revolutions a minute, while the gun
was threatening everything within a
struction. The captain Skinned up
the only available tree. The sergeant
threw himself flat on the ground and
tried to dig hole with his bayonet to
crawl into. while the fat major rolled
over and over in agony, alternately in
vOking the protection of Providence
and cursing the mule. Finally the eX-
plOsiOn came, the ball going through
the roof of the fort. The recOil of the
gun and the wild leap of the terrified
mule carried both over the bluff to a
safe anchorage ut the bottom of the
river. The discounted party returned
sadly to the fort.
Shortly after the chief of the Indians
appeared and announced briefly {:
L" Injun go home"
Questioned as to why, he thus ex-
planned: Injun YER brave, help
white man. Injun use gun, use bow,
arrow, use knife; but when white man
fire off whole jackass, Injun no under
stand, no think right. Injun no help
um fight that way"

The Massachusetts Way.
S,riyl1fsld ReI,tlbItcan.

Although it is now nearly two years
since the disaster on the Central Yer
mont railroad near White River juno
ton, in which 30 persons were killed
and 80 injured, only about half the
cases for damages have been settled.
and no suits have yet come to trial.
One test case, which has been pending

Las again been postponed until Febru-
ary ). exactly two years from the date
of the disaster Most of the cases that
have been adjusted were disposed of

laws do not allow of such laxity. The
statutes fix the price of life, and the
