Every good newspaper has enc
mics. Some are worse than others.
The man who owes newspaper an
honest debt and does not pay it can
be counted an enemy. The man
who wants an office and complains
because the newspapers will not
champion him in preference to all
others, is pretty apt to be cast as
an enemy. The man who wants
to dictate to paper and is not al
allowed to do so, is sure enemy.
The sneak and coward fears news
papers, and consequently does not
like them. But of all men that
newspaper should dislike, is the
man whom it has befriended and
assisted, and who proves the in
crate and turns his back on the
newspaper after securing all from
it possible. We can respect in a
certain degree an open and avowed
enemy, but an migrate, never.

The Ohio River Railroad has
made cut in the wages of all its
employees, down to and including
the section men. The latters
hours of work is reduced to eight
instead of ten hours as heretofore.
The recent heavy losses sustained
by washouts on the road is the
cause of the reduction. 1t is the
way of all corporations, whom they
suffer, cut in wages follows to
make up the losses. Poor work
ingmen have always to stand the
blunt of every disaster, and if they
vote for gold it will be still worse
on them
