The Milwaukee Journal rightly
appreciates the mission of the press
The Journal is itself an honest and
fearless newspaper and a credit to the
state in which it is published. That it
holds up high moral standard for
the guidance of the press is shown by
the following which is taken from its
editorial columns;
1.-The Baltimore Sun begins its pros
pectus for 1894 with the following
statement of its platform as a news
paper: Honest in motive, fearless in
expression, sound in principle, un-
sWerving in its allegiance to right
theories and right practices" 1t is a
good platform and should be adopted
by every newspaper and carried out in
good faith. The observance of such
principles cannot fail to produce a
newspaper in which the people will
have colidenc. The newspaper is the
individual citizen on large scale, and
it is incumbent uponit to do in every
Instance as a newspaper just as man
should do as citizen. Its utterances
should embody nothing that cannot be
repeated in any gathering, no matter
what its chosen field of labor may be.
The people want more such papers.
The day of sensationalism in news
paper work has passed, and in its
place has come an era in which the
people will require decent and respect
full treatment of every question on the
part Of the press. The newspapers
which more nearly fill that moral
measure expressed by The Sun will
have a large circulation among the
people when those which give them
selves up to sensation, scandal,
prejudice, bigotry and other moral
uncleanness are forgotten. 1t is not
only right to be respectable and
decent; it pays we'll besides"

Tariff Anarchists.

We find the following in the columns
OF a contemporary, whose name we with
hold out of respect to the memory of its
former reputati on for fairness, trust
worthiness and reliability. In COM
menting upon tie wool situation it says:
The feeling in the tariff question is ap-
preaching very acute stage, and there
are those who predict not only strikes,
but violence, iff it is materially changed
or if the present condition endures for
80 days longer" Evidently the writer
meant If it is not materially changed"
ETC., else there is no sense to the phrase.
We can hardly credit this as being the
opinion of staid and heretofore con-
servatiye publication having its home in
an intelligent community and catering
to an intelligent, thinking and law abid-
ing constituency. 1t savors too much of
anarchy, destruction, blood, and all the
terrible things which such men as Gov
ernor Waite and Most talk SO freely of.
Whence is to come this violence? And
why? Why this incendiary talk? Have
the people lost respect for laws and
abandoned their reliance upon the bal
lot? Is partisanship SO uncomfortable
that it would do violence because of de-
feat at the polls? Our contemporary has
permitted it's political prejudices to warp
its judgment and sway its reason
