DECENT JOURNALISM.


The natural impulse Of even intelligent
citizens when a public journal is misled
into the commission of a wrong, is to
declaim against the general licentious-
ness Of the public press, and in this the
greatest injustice is done to all reputable
newspapers People speak of the licen-
tiousness of the press from what they see
in its columns. but they do not speak.
because they do not know, Of the vastly
greater amount Of sensational articles
founded on truth, which might be pub
lished with entire justice to the impli-
Gated parties, but which are daily sup
pressed by editors, solely because such
publications would wantonly wound inno-
cent parties and at times overthrow
credit. There is not day In the week
that the men responsible for the opinions
OF clean newspapers are not compelled to
consider the question of publishing or
suppressing facts which are entirely
proper for public information, but which,
II printed. would do greater harm to the
innocent than good to the public.
OF this important duty Of editors the
public have little knowledge, and, being
unknown, It is thoughtlessly assumed
that the great aim Of every enterprlsine
newspaper man is to fling sensations be-
fore the public regardless Of their truth,
when in point of fact they suppress vastly
more than they print There are dozens
Of highly reputable citizens OF Astoria
and Of every community in the whole
country, who could feelingly testify to the
integrity with which honest editors sac
rlilce important and legitimate news In
the interest Of the peace of homes and the
safety and credit of individuals and insti-
tutions. Let those who assail the licen-
tiousness OF the press take pause to in
quire into the aims and methods of true
American journalism. II they shall dc
SO, there would be more just judgment
OF the generous fidelity Of editors to the
highest interests Of the community.
With the low and filthy press Of the
country It is different. For that kind OF
licentiousness there is only one remedy.
Let 1t alone. II people would not sup
port vile publications. those publications
would not exist,

WHAT THEY SHOULD DO.

Now that congress Is well under way
with It's work there are two subjects of
paramount Importance which demand
prompt attention. One OF them is
the serious deficiency OF revenue.
The last congress thought It had provided
enough. But one Of the measures It re-
lied upon was the income tax, which
would have yielded fifty or sixty millions.
But the courts held that the bill was
plainly constitutional. as the Republicans
In congress had contended II was, and as
most intelligent Democrats believed il
was. It was passed In form to please
PopuIlsts and Democrats Of soclaiistlc
sympathles regardless OF the constitution
The result is there is a lack OF revenue,
and unless congress acts It will be neces-
sary for the president TO sell more bonds
for gold. and thus swell the national debt
TO keep the government going and to re-
deem demand notes. II Is not best for
Republicans In congress TO refuse to help
provide necessary revenue on account Of
gress In regard to their unconstitutional
income tax There viii be time enough
for that during next years campaign.
At present both parties should cooperate
In stopping the deficiency leak The
country does not want them to neglec,
that duty and spend their time In making
platforms and records for next years
political campaign.
The house IS Republican, the senate un-
certain. and the president a Democrat,
Neither side can run things exactly to
suit itself. The Republicans must wait
til March 4, 1897, before they can get a
president Of their own. Therefore tho
best plan to raise more revenue Is one on
which both Republicans and Democrats
can compromise
It u necessary also for congress to do
something to put an end to that vicious
system which has thrown on the treasury
the duty Of supplying the demands OF
merchants. bankers, brokers. importers.
and al others for gold. The dangers OF
having to redeem notes In gold and then
ressuing them. then again redeem them,
and again and again. thus keeping the
treasury water getting hotter and hotter
