How to Spoil a Newspaper
From Rutland Herald.

People do not always understand
why this thing is printed and that is
not; they give an editor or reporter this
lection made, and now and then they
say disagreeable things in consequence.
Sometimes people ask for "puffsn of
one sort or another without much con-
sideration, and are liable to be offended
the people who would readily see that
er bought or was entitled to, are slow
to understand that something they
want printed is worse than blank so
far as selling the newspaper is con-
cerned, and that if the editor accepted
all such matter his business would end
because nobody would buy his wares.
All the editor has to do in this world
is to drop matter he does not want in
the waste basket and go calmly on with
his business. If he starts printing
things or leaving things out, to "please'
somebody, he starts on the wrong way,
and will go from bad to worse until he
either stops or ruins his paper. There
are papers in Vermont with a fair guam
tity of news sandwiched in which are
yet absolutely unreadable in their local
columns from the presence of puffs.
Squire Basswood's Is hill of beans is glo-
rified, Farmer Browns rawboned colt
is served up as bit of angelic horse
flesh, Lawyer Pipkin's slushy speech
is held up as inspired oratory, Merchant
Huckleberry's new door scraper is mag
nified and gilded, Neighbor Finn's
chickens are given golden feathers
the list is familiar to every reader. The
editor doesn't want the stuff there-he
is not fool-but he lacks courage to
throw it out, and there it is and the
reader suffers.

The proposition for more general
distribution of crop and weather bulle-
tins of the Agricultural department will
no doubt find favor among the farmers.
These bulletins have been given to the
public mainly through the newspapers
but it is now proposed to print a larger
number and send to the postoffices and
oranges, and perhaps to individuals for
general distribution. The expense of
the extra number cannot be large but
the benefit would be great and the state
boards will do well to further the pro-
ject as much as possible.

The past few days have been eventful
ones in our village, the big freshet, with
its attendant incidents, claiming the
larger share of attention, until over
shadowed by the sad fatalities which
have plunged several happy homes in
to mourning and cast gloom over the
whole community. The telling of the
local story makes unusual demands up
on our space this week and crowds out
other matter of ordinary interest, but
we offer no apologies, only regretting
the circumstances which have made
our work this week so largely a labor
of sorrow.

that boy baby would not have been

CATHOLIC FAST
!, DAYS DEWFREI

New York, July REV,
Father Ducey is authority for
the statement that the Pope
has promulgated "a decree alb
solving poor people and work
ing people from the observance
of all days of abstinence in the
year except Fridays, even dur
ing Lent. Speaking of the
decree, Father Ducey said:
"Many of the ecclesiatics in
this country have felt for years
that the burden of denial plac
ed on the shoulders and con-
science of the struggling and
working people was more than
a hardship, almost a martyr
dom. have not seen the Of
fetal document sent tos the
bishops of the United States,
but this information came TO
me about six weeks ago from
a most trustworthy Rome cor
respondent. It has seemed to
me for years that this legisla-
lion in favor of Gods hardwolk
ing people was most necessary.
What q hardship to ask Of men
and women whose fare is always
doubtful and uncertain to prac-
rice a denial that robs them Of
their strength and units them
for the proper discharge of
their duties and labor, when
the well-todo and the rich and
luxurious feasting sumptuously
every day, ind fault, as I have
known them to do, with the
hardships Of the holy season
of Lent"
Father Lowell of the arch
bishops residence says that
the rumor is absurd.

The Mexican National rail
road company is moving its
shops from Laredo, Texas, to
New Laredo, Mexico, because
Tabor in the latter country is
SO much cheaper, and free sill

argument in favor of their
theories, alleging that the
adoption Of free silver would
enable American labor to com

as to fail to see, in this an open
confession that the free silver
party means TO lower them to.

true inwardness of the case
