The Newspaper Hind Sight.

One of the curious types of humanity
that occasionally come under the micro
scope is the individual who is supersensi-
tive about spelling and pronunciation,
and who discovers typographical errors in
the newspapers and writes immediate and
nrg1nt letters concerning them and the
misappiication of terms or misuse OF
words I'm the prints of the day. In n great
newspaper office during the intricate proc
ess OF handling news and other matter in
tho briefest possible space of time it will
occasionally occur that letter will get in
upside down, or having fallen out Of the
forms in the handling will get back some
where in the wrong place. and 1t will
sometimes happen that foreign word
will take on the wrong gender for the
English text, or that even common Eng
fish word will slip the keen eye Of the
proofreaders. And 1t has been known that
line or paragraph from one article has
actually sneaked into the middle Of an
other article on n wholly different subject

A REALLY interesting budget OF
news came by the Coptic, and ex-
tracts from the papers received are
given elsewhere. The late war
between Japan and China seems to
be followed by radical changes tax
ing place in Japan, Corea and
China. In each country there are
evidences of popular agitation and
restlessness which must result in
educating the masses, and secur-
ing privileges to them, which
they have never enjoyed. In
these radical changes Japan has
taken the lead, and both Corea and
China will follow in her wake, but
not with the same progress. Among
other radical changes, an order has
been issued by the Corean Govern
ment that men must have their hair
cut and adopt European costumes
in their dress. These changes Of
costume were made in japan some
thirty years ago, and with good re
suits. Corea is simply following
her example, and it will not b.
many years before China does thu
same, it being the first step toward
bringing her vast population with
in the influences of modern civil
cation.

DODGING THE QUESTION.
POpOcrats Accused of Insincerity II
Dlscussing the. Money Issue.

Editor Tunes: When John l.. Sullivan
fought Corbett and was unable To iaud a
bio on The ecleyerdodger. he erelnarkcd after
ward: II eau lick a man who W i'll stand up
and fight. but I'm no race-horse."
The Popocrat argues COrbett style he
lodges and you can't land your argument
because he always dodges the poiut. Re-
Gently Major Mckinley made an illustration
To a delegation OF wOOlen mauufaci urers,
which was 50 plain and SO obvious that it
seemed as II even Popocrat cOuldn t dodge
the point. He showed up the fallacy OF the
free coinag ge theory by saying that you can't
manufacture cloth by starting yard-stick
factory" stating in conclusion that you
must make your cloth before you can meas
ure it." But 10! and beholdl n free-silyeritc
in one of the daily papers refers to this Illus
trationcf Mckiuley's, but, i'll true Pspocratic
style, lodges the point by about one million
miles. Our silyerile says he could see great
utility i'll a yaru-stick factory IL the cloth
owner were willing TO give cloth in ex-
change for yard-stirks.
Now. ''if' is a very little word, BY. very
big III significance. l had as lief have
stone-wal in my way as an III" IL the
manufacturer would give his cloth in ex-
change for yard-sticks is one thing why
he does not is another. Aud right here is
the key to the whole situation.
When We Were children we learned in
our arithmetics that only like units can be
thatis. we cannot multiply four
peaches by two apples. For similar rca-
esHi tiaesisdreoi len5sn must possess iengtn.
4 measure of weight must possess weight.
and there is our key measure of value
must possess value. We do not measure
length with pound weights, nor do we
measure value with yardsticks. And as
the yardstick must be yard long in oIder
n,al re- tan n.rfh Ind hs. md
must be a pound eavy to measure weight
SO a dollar, us the mea sure of value, Inust
have not only value, but the fun measure
of value.
The clothmaker does not give cloth in cx-
change Tor yarusticks because the Ia " of
exchange is value for value, and SO cx-
change must be measured by value.
Furth ermore, when we give dollar for
a yard of cloth, it is not the dollar we a re
giving for the cloth So much as the labor by
which that dollar was acquired, foT labor
is the standard which determines all value.
The dollar is the measure by which We
measure outho W much labor should be given
in exchange for yard of cloth, and We do
not measure il with yardstick forthe same
reason that we do not multiply four
peach es by two apples.
As labor is the standard of value. So the
dollar by which we measure out that labor
ID exchange for cloth should have value
and dollars worth OF value. five measure
with a short dollar We will get less in ex-
mango Ior our labor, just as il we short
,ned the yardstick il would measure less
10th.
We cannot create value simply by max
ng more measures of value: but as Nc
Sinley saws. we must make our cloth be-
'ore we can measure it.
