FUNDAMENTALLY WRoNG.-W had no
ticc formally served on us one day last week
that owing to a position taken by us on a
certain matter Of public import, that come
near losing some of of our friends" which we
understand to mean our subscribers.
Now, once for all, let it be understood that
TIE CLARION does not aspire to please ev-
erybody: there are enough and to spare of
that class of local newspapers, whose only
aim is to please the greatest possible number
of people and thereby increase their circu!a-
ton. We have radically different conccp.
ton OF our duty: we entertain views con-
corning the province of even local news
paper, that lead us in direction that must
Ill many instances run counter to the views
of some of our readers To be more explicit
on this point, newspaper that keeps its
own good constantly III view and in no in
stance breaks the rule must of necessity be
worth practically nothing to its readers, save
a sort of kitchen drawer a retailer of gossip
and chroniclcr OF local happenings. While
these things fall to the lot of the local news
paper, they do not fill the measure of its
privileges nor are we content Herewith.
We much prefer to be brief in the matter of
local happenings If the space in our columns
is required to ventilatc some issue of public
importance we prefer to criticise and aid in
directing local matters, rather than to await
the devlopement of such events and then be
content with the mere rehearsal Of the facts.
The matter referred to in the beginning Of
