wonder that so many think that politics are corrupt? Is it any wonder that good men are 10th to become candidates for office when they we'll know that false- hood, calumny and ridicule will be hurled against them? The public want light on political questions; want to know the true character, sentiments and quail ifications of candidates for office; but the editor who deceives them and knowing ly deals out heresy, who misrepresents or defames the candidates. may be con- sidered good partisan but he prosti- tutes his calling or office and he gives his readers stone when they ask for bread.
 The public expect the editor to be in terested in their welfare; to notify them of the various games practiced on coun- trymen by bunco men and swindlers; to expose all schemes to rob or defraud in- dividuals, the state, or the nation; in short, the public expect the editor to be their watchman to give them warning g of all approaching danger; to work for them and with them in numberless ways
 But, brother editors, must now close the argument for the public and present your side of the question, so I swing to your side, and into the home stretch, by saying that many of the relations of the public to the editor are very burden some poor relations - those that let their subscriptions remain unpaid year after year and never seem to take any interest whatever in the welfare of the editor, although they expect him to be deeply interested in their welfare. The majority of these poor relations are not actually poor in purse. bat they are poor
