The Boston Globe has been sending
out series of questions to a large
number OF representative men, to draw
out their opinions in regard to ideal
journalism and their ideal newspaper
Of the future.
Most of the indivd uals who replied to
the circular were firm in their convic-
ton that the average newspapers of to-
day was far from the ideal standard.
The greatest objection made against
the press was its sensationaljsm and it's
fippancy.
Now, Oscar Wilde believes that the
modern tailor does not make the ideal
trousers. Perhaps the tailor is con-
scious Of all this; but is willing to sac
ritice his ideal pantaloons to the panta-
looms calculated to attain the wide st
circulation. 1t has been demonstrated.
long ago, that the public does not bu y
the right kind of bonnets; but all the
millinerS sacrifice willingly Their per-
sonal ideals and try to make the public
just the kind of bOnnets it wants. The
ideal boot is rejected in favor of the
boot of the largest circulation; and SO
| in all the departments Of trade.
Making of newspapers is business.
and why should not newspaper men be
allowed to manage the occupation in a
business way? They cater to public
tastes; they bid for public patronage.
and to do this they must furnish what
the public wants. If the public does
not want All ideal newspaper. so much
the worse for the public. The same
public that rejects the ideal boot and
the ideal bonnet has time and again
spurned the ideal paper from it and
would have none Of it. Stock in an
ideal newspaper usually is worth all the
way from fifteen cents on the dollar
downward.
There are several ideal papers pub
| lished in this country; but doubtless
these hypercrit cal censOrs of the press
do not prescribe for them. Ten chances
to one they have never heard of them.
They are not widely advertised; for
other papers will not advertise them,
and they do not have circulation enough
to advertise themselves.
OF course it is the hope of all friends
of good journalism that the tone of the
press NAV be raised. And we think al
careful observers of journalism fOr the
last ten wears cannot deny that it is on
q much higher plane than it was few
wears ago. Nowhere is this more OBJ
servabie than in the Sunday press. In
fact the best thought, the best litera
ture. the best current discussion of the
week. The tone of the press IS Away:

readers, and hence it educates by grad
ual steps.

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local applications, as they can not reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitu-

Eustachain Tube. When this tube gets infiamed.
you have rumbling sound imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed condition of

NUMBER 20.

The reduction from Al to AZ per
cent. in the Mills bill is said to be
small. So it is; but there was a
small reduction in the tariff in 1888.
Then the wool and wooden goods
schedule was reduced little. That
little was just enough to let in from
England about 100000 additional
pounds of manufactured wool last
year. That importation gave En-
gligh workmen just that much work
that could have been done here. In
Philadelphia hundreds of men have
been idle that could have been busy.
They would then have been purchas-
ers; now they have nothing to pur-
chase with. The Mills bill takes off
still more of the tariff on wool and
woolens. The result will be, more
men out of employment, and English
manufacturers correspondently hap
py. If anyone doubts this condition
of things, be has only to go to Phila-
delphia, and be convinced.

United States Senator, John v.
Farwell, of Illinois, writing from
Germany, where he is now travelling,
praises in high terms the many good
qualities of the American
citizen, and adds: "Somehow, when
they cross the ocean, the damp, salt
air soaks out of them their German
contentment with twenty-five to forty
cents per day for their work, and
they can easily deny themselves that
German luxury, but beer, meyer.
America is a great Republic, ruled
by the votes of the humblest, as well
as the greatest, and, if mistake not,
the pending election will show that
our laboring men have learned to
vote for themselves, and not for a
solid south and free trade for En-.
gland. The temperance question will
not count to make democratic voters
of laboring men, unless that party
can make them think it no empty
idea that their beer is in danger,
This will be no easy task when they
can see that by voting for free trade
they are absolutely mortgsging their
power to get bread and butter and
beefsteak, as we'll as beer"

dead-headism from the pulpit, the bar

cieties and individuals. 1t is e1-

eyes to the blind, clothes to the
naked and bread to the hungry; to
cover up infirmlties, hide weakness,
wink at quacks, bolster up all dull,
sapheaded politicians and f1atter the
vain. 1t is in short to be all things
