The newspaper that aspires to be
and intends to be an independent
] journal, in the truest sense of the
term, should, we think, belong to
no political party, but should watch
and criticise them all fearlessly, yet
discreetly, and justly. It should
praise all things which are politi-
cally. or religiously admirable and
uplifting; it should with all its
might disparage and censure those
things whose trend, in its intelli-
gent opinion, is counter to the high
er interests of the people of its city.
OF its State and of its country. Its
own political stand should be what
is best for the whole nation. 1t
should be the great and vigilant GEN.
sor OF the press, ever striving to
keep that mighty engine within the
bounds OF truth and justice. Ii
should be the wise and just censor
OF society not afraid to show forth
the faults or the mean conduct of
the rich-who by reason of their
wealth are able to WELD much in
huence for good or for evil in the
world-or of those prominent in
social position-when such position
has by their own act brought them
to the bar of public criticism-or of
those in high or minor Office but il
should never descend to mere gossip
or scandal.
The independent newspaper
should freely admit into its own
columns all well-written, imper-
sonal, wise, just and high toned
articles, whether the writer is per-
sonally known or not. 1t should
encourage and bring forward and
uphold modest and unknown merit
wherever it can be found. 1t should
try to bring to the knowledge of the
pablic all instances Of oppression
and wrong-from the powerful upon
the weak-and it should bring into
prominence all acts of unselfsh
charity, all deeds of exalted patrio-
tism, that they may serve as inspir-
ing examples for others TO follow. |

which we sing is an American

CRETE AND THE TURKS.
The readers of the news from
Crete will wonder at the situation.
Here is little island peopled partly
with Turks who are barbarians, and
partly with descendants of Greece
who are Christians. The latter rise
in rebellion against the former be-
cause of outrages committed which
would shame even our western saw
ages and forsooth the six great pow
ers of Europe, Christians send their
gunbOats to lombard its ports and
starve the inhabitants into submis-
sion to the Turkish rule. England,
brave; magnanimous boasting OF
her liberties whose air slave
cannot breathe. France, Repub-
lie, and Italy associated with Greece
by kindredship in race and language,
are there with Russia, a semi bar
barrie nation, Austria and Germany
representing old despotisms, to
smother and quench the liberty
which was putting forth feeble
flame amidst the mountains of
Crete.

what are called magnetic waves are
excited which will penetrate any

has been expressed that in using
the instruments on an ironclad the
waves might explode the magazine
of the ship itself. We are almost at
times willing to wish that the +" lit.

or two ago that William o. Young
formerly of Reno, had been he arc

he had hopes of soon becoming .
Klondyke millionaire, word comes
from Salt Lake that while he hal
found q fortune be has lost his wife
Mrs. Young, after three weary years
of waiting and the steadily length
ening of the periods between biz
letters until they ceased altogether
and the weeks grew into months
and the months into years, came
to the conclusion that her husband
was dead.
G. M. Fuller, an assayer of the
Dexter mine at Tuscarora, lowered
near the Borrowing wife, sympa.
thized with her and finally con.
vinced her that be could in a meas
ure fill the void in her heart, if she
would only consent. There seemed
to be doubt remaining in the mind
of Mrs. Young that her husband
Was dead and she was free, but she
could not give up the pleasant COM
partnership of Mr.. Fuller, so they
agreed to 60 to Salt Lake and enter
into a contract marriage without
the usual formality of minister or
authorized officer of the law giving
them his approval.
They took rooms at fashionable
boarding house in Salt Lake and
bad hardly got settled down to their
connubial bliss, when they were
startled by letter announcing that
Young was alive and about to amass
fortune.
As a proof of Young's sincerity
and faithfulness, he forwarded $500
to Mrs. Young's father, M. D. Bowen
at Eureka with instructions to send
Mrs. Young to him at Alaska i'm
mediately.
Fuller still maintains that his
are. honorable and that
he will love and protect her and
told her father that if she would
procure divorce, he would immed-
lately make her his lawful wife.
Mrs. Young is in quandry, but it
is believed that the. divorce pro-
ceedings and marriage to Fuller
will be easier than an explanation
to her husband.
Mrs. Young formerly lived in
Reno, as a little girl and many will
her.
