STRICTLY IN IT.

The local newspaper has SO many
missions to perform that it is often
the case that said local paper will
single-foot out on one, two or three of
the said missions to the neglect of all
the rest. For instance, one paper
may claim to give all the local news,
state news, aud the political "ins-and-
outs" Another paper will make other
claims, perhaps, as broad as these, but
covering entirely different ground or
performing other missions. In the
main, newspapers are sound docu-
ments. They are necessarily sound,
as they form a web over the country,
one is checkmate and critic of the
other, and when, one paper.gets "out of
line" all the balance feel the effects of
the said paper being "out-a.lYin." So
the erring brother is called back and
fought to know the meaning of
straight up" The papers are great
agents for good or evil, and as the
brethren know this they feel COM
mon interest in the common press, and
a general desire that all papers
should be straight up, and that JUS
tice and truth should prevail in news
paper circles throughout the country.
Most editors are as scrupulous as most
Of the clergy. They have not forgot
ten the precept of the father of their

in this the editors of today are simply
imitators. They very much reuere
their illustrious father and some of his
teachings.
The newspaper that furnishes daily
full local and foreign news summa-
ry, the market reports. Kindly but
keep personal mention, wholesome,
useful and interesting miscellany,
and is at the same time an expounder

EVERYBODY SMILE.

The following from the New York
Sun makes us lsugh-beg pardon, it
makes us smile -:
"Both the Rev. Joseph Cook and
the Hon. Roger Quarles Mills were
in town last night 1t is seldom that
so much missionary zeal is found even
in this town, to which all the talents
are drawn. fremont Temple is, OF
course, a very different place from the
house of representatives. but the Bos-
ton Monday Lecturer and the Corsi-
cana Golden both carry on an educa-
tional campaign. Both are positive
and dogmatio, passionate and vehe-
ment, burning and boiling. If Mr.
Cook has the more learning, Mr.
Mills has the heavier repartee. II
Mr. Mills is the hsndsomer, Mr.. Cook
can be heard further. The main diff
ference among many minor differences
between TIE two is that the Bostonian
is a general reformer who wants to
smash things in general, while the
Corsicanan concentrates his de struc-
tiveness upon the Tariff.
"a phrenologist who examined Me-.
Cooks head when that head was worn
on youthful shoulders, gave this chart:
is fond of applause; has much ver-
boseres and faculty of speech; is
given to repetitions, is confident and
loud. | advise that he follow the
calling of al auctioueer.
can inferior strolling phrenologlst
who examined Mr.. Mills bumps early
in 1888 wrote enthusiastically; You
have the biggest head | have ever
seen. Your combativeness, well.de-
veloped self.esteem, and tenaoity indi-
cate that you would have succeeded
as a policeman in western town if
you had not taken up another field of
public life
"Yet neither combstiveness nor
self esteem is more developed in Mr..
Mills than in Mr.. Cook. So much
for phrenology."
Oh, what fortunate thing that the
same phrenologist did not examine
the head of the New York Sum The
exposure would have been humiiating
to the people whom the Sun supports.

Pears
Soap

People have no idea how
crude and cruel soap can be.
1t takes off dirt. So far,
so good; but what else does
it do?
1t cuts the skin and frets

ness and roughness and
leads to worse, Not soap
but the alkali in it
Pears Soap has no free,
alkali in it. 1t neither red
dens nor roughens the skin.
1t responds to water in

gentle as strong and the
after-effect is every way
good.

AREAIARIlABLE a SUGGESTION.

How Rev. W. s. Itninstord Would Combat
thu Saloon Evil-IIo snys tho Church
should Establish Saloons of u High,
Order.
New York, May pa novel method
OF correcting the saloon evil has been
prepared by Rev. W. S. Rainsiord, OF
st. Georges church. Ills idea is that
the church must compete with drink
ing saloons and reach tho mass by cs-
tablishins respectable places OF this
character
DR.. Rainsford first broached the idea
in his sermon on Sunday morning, and
yesterday in IN interview said: 81
We cannot stamp out an evil such
as the saloon, but We can do the next
best thing: We can supply the beer dc.
manded by these people aud elevate the
standing OF the saloon to higher plane.
81 don't think would sell LIQUOR In
such q place, but instead have only
beer, light wines, coffee and chocolate.
l would make them attractive and
drawing rooms and would keep them
open on Sunday only during proper
hours. Whom the time came for clos.
ing the blinds would so down TO s,av.
DR.. Rainsiord further said he had not
perfected his ideas regarding the saloon
but proposes to arrange tho details i'm

TREATY RIGHTS or ALIENS.
Tho Bill Discussed by senator Morgan and
Goes Over Until December.

Goes Over Until December.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 24.-In tho
senate to-day the bill for the punish.
mcnt OF violations Of treaty rights OF
aliens was taken up-Mr. Morgan con-
tinuins his argum cnt in advocacy OF the
bill.
Referring to the case OF the Italians
killed in New Orleans, Mr.. Morgan said
that il American citizens had been NAL
treated in Italy, and if the Italian gov
crnment had given to the government
OF the United states such an answer rs
the American government had given to
Italy, the comment would be, .'Your
government is 4 very imperfect one,
and you ough: to have informed US OF it
when the treaty was pending"
MIR. Blaine, lie said, had been com
PEELED (acting exactly right 10 use tho
secret service fund to pay $4,000 to the
families OF the men massacred in tho
prison Of New Orleans.
The government OF the United States
was in pitiable condition when the
secretary OF state was compelled to re-
sort to the secret service fund to keep
peace with q foreign government. It
would be impossible TO frame and pass
through Congress u federal code that
would cover all cases OF violations Of
the rights OF aliens ;-and the only way
10 do so was las provided in the pend.
ing bill to adopt the laws OF the several
states and let those laws operate on the
federal courts.
Mr.. Gray asked Mr..Morgan whether
il the New Orleans outrages had hap.
pcned, in England, Lord Salisbury
would SnotsliaTe been compelled to tell
the Italian government that it would
have to wait until the ordinary judicial
tribunal had taken action and would
have to abide by that action.
Mr.. Morgan replied that his opinion
was that Lord Salisbury and every other
English statesman in such Il case would
reply to Italy that the English govern
ment had put in operation the ncces-
sary methods OF procedure to have n
iair judicial investigation. lilo would
not turn the matter overto the town
council OF Glasgow or Liverpool.
The English government would always
answer: "Wc arc abIo to stand up to
our treaties. and to meet our engage.
mcnts and TO do what we have agreed to
do because our system OF laws enables
us to lay this question before the Judi
cial tribunals Of the country.
Mr.. Gray-Do you suppose that the
foreign affairs department OF Great
Britain has any control over the action
OF the courts, or that such control would
be tolerated for one moment?
MIR. Morgan-No; and nothing Of that
sort is in this bill. We don't propose
to control the action OF the courts. We
propose to provide courts to take action.
AT the close OF his argument, Mr..
Morgan moved with tho assent OF tho
committee on foreign relations that tho
bill should 90 over till next December.
The matter went over without action.
The senate then adjourned.
