MESSRS. HENRY AND HALE.

The Washington correspondence OF
the Raleigh Ne7os anu Obsrrpry states,
as the Washington correspondent of
this paper has stated, that Senator
Ransom, in filing the papers in the
matter of Mr.. f. J. Hale's application
for the Manchester consulship, did SO
without leaving his endorsement upon
them but it is added that Senator
Ransom, in company with Hon. John
$. Henderson, did, one day last week,
make strong appeal for the appoint
ment of Mr.. Walter K. Henry to an
important position. We should be
glad to know of both these gentlemen
getting nice places under the govern
nent. So far as Mr.. Henry is CON
cerned, he has had assurances which
should by this time have ripened MO
results. He has always been an active
party man and two years ago his
labors were especially vigorous and
effective. \ large element IN tie
party marked him, as soon as it was
known that we had elected our national
ticket, for handsome recognition, and
has felt disappointed that it HIS rpt

THE DUTY OF 4 NEWSPAPER.

In a political campaign the first
duty of newspaper is TO print the
facts, and It's business, then, is to
comment on them fairly and discuss
them in manner that will carry correct
information along with sound argu-
ment.
In the days of frontier journalism it
was the custom OF some editors to
substitute ISLANDERS for facts, and
personal abuse TOR argument. Journal
ism has Outgrown these crude methods
and the newspapers that still indulge
in them are only occasionally found
here and there. Experienced news
paper men have found out that nothing
is gained by trying to deceive the
public. A victory won in this way is
only temporary advantage, and the
people are quick to reverse the result
at the first opportunity.
We live in an age Of great intellect
ual activity-a reading age-and it is
no easy matter to deceive the general
puOllI. WHICH, q iudu OHSlS llIillSSll
for Office 4 newspaper on the opposite
side loses time and labor when it turns
aside from his public record to circulate
unjust and absurd ISLANDERS. 1t wins
no votes by indulging in abuse. The
people are disguised with such child S
play. They seek information. They
want to understand the policy ad-
voCated by the candidate, and then
they want to know whether his public
record isConsis.ent with his professions.
These are the matters a newspaper is
expected to discuss and throw light
upon.
We repeat that deception is not a
winning policy. The newspaper that
adopts it will find that it is on the
losing side when the people are heard
from. When newspaper ceases to
give the facts and discuss them fairly,
with proper respect for its opponents
and their opinions, it is on dangerous
ground, and its work will count for
nothing. People have no use for
paper that can not or will not tell the
truth and argue question fairly -
