The Cornell university class in jour
nalism is to be discontinued after the
present year. Some of the features of
the course will be taught hereafter in
the department of rhetoric and English
literature. While it is true that the
newspaper office is the only practical
school of journalism, it is perfectly feas-
IDLE to instruct young men in the rudi-
ments of newspaper work at college
Any professor of English literature
ought to be able to instruct his pupilt
to properly prepare copy for the press
No young man is fit to receive diploms
who cannot write good English style
and spell and punctuate correctly
These accomplishments alone will no
make journalist, but no man can be ;
journalist without them.

A SEATTLE paper argues that money
is cheaper in the state OF Washington
than it is in Montana, because more
eastern money is ready to flow into that
state for investment. Is not the reason
rather that there is a great deal Of
money there that cannot be protitably
invested! There is plenty of money in
England at very low rates Of interest
but we do not hear Of a great rush o
capital to that country for investment
There are opportunities in Montana to
day to make hundred dollars where on,
can be gained in Washington. Interes
il higher here for that very reason.

WE published yesterday an article
from the American Architect, written
from non-partisan point of view, call
ing attention to the serious injury that
would inure to the building trades were
the Mckinley bill to become law. The
Architect predicts that the increased
duties on lime, cement, plaster OF paris,
window glass, tiles, zinc, and lead would
check building operations, advance
rents, and make it impossible for the
man in humble circumstances to build
a home. The building trades are not
the only ones which would receive a
severe blow from this scheme OF the
high protectionists of Pennsylvania.
The Mckinley bill will also work great
hardships to the printing trade OF the
United States. There is just one con
Germ in this country that manufactures
wooden felt printing blankets. The
present tariff admits printing felt at
duty OF twenty cents per pound, and
thirty per cent nd valorem. The Nc
Kinley bill in the interest Of one manu-
factory compels this article to pay duty
as wooden cloth at forty-tive cents a
pound and fifty per cent adj valorem
lover los per cent on the value), necessi-
tating an increase in price of nearly fifty
per cent over present rates. This means
an additional expense of several hundred
dollars to every daily newspaper in a
large city, and II tax OF several dollars
per year on every country paper. Rub
Der blankets, used by printers, which
now pay thirty-fve per cent duty will
be taxed three cents a pound, and fifty
per cent al valorem under the Nc
Kinley bill. This increase is made tc
protect few manufacturers Of flax
cloth, which forms the basis Of the rub
Der blanket. Mr.. Mckinley said in hi
speech in the house the other day tha
the greatest good of the greatest mum
Der had been the motto of the ways ant
means committee, but in this case h
taxes thousands of men engaged in tn
printing industry for the benefit of
few hundred people engaged in making
flax cloth. The Mckinley bill is 81
gantic combination of jobs.
