FROM TIE PUBLISHER s
POINT or VIEW.

Some people forget the 1act
that a newspaper is nothing
more nor less than a business
institution. the primary object
of which is to bring profit to its
publishers. These are the PEG
pie who are always out of hu-
NOR with their town paper be-
cause it will not take up their
fights and wage war against
the particular Institutions which
are particularly Objectionable
to them. They take onesided
view-their own side, of course.
They forget that the editors
ideas may not coincide with
theirs, or if they should, there
would still remain another
important consideration-that
every time a paper makes war
upon individuals or institutions
ii costs the publisher more or
less. He is certain to lose the
patronage of those attacked,
as we'll as that of their friends
and adherents. Il is all very
well to talk about being brave
to denounce that which deserves
denunciation, and having the
courage of ones convictlon,etc
but when it means pecuniary
loss, yes, even-the deprivation
of bread and butter, then 1t re-
Iquires more than an ordinary
mortal TO do l.. And THE
HERALD doubts very much if
the very men who criticise an
editor for his polite silence
upon subjects which might of
fend his Influential patrons
would act otherwise in the
editors place. In small towns,
a paper is dependent upon all
Of the citizens for support, and
the editor simply cannot afford
to be oo.independent-that is,
if he expects TO make living
at his business. We are not
acquainted with any editors
who are in the business merely
for their health or amuse
ment. There may be, there
doubtless are, many who ar
willing TO martyrize them
selves "pro homo publico, "
but they are generally restrain
ed by the thought that their
own martyrdom must involve
Those dependent upon them.
Not many men will voluntary
knock down those 10 whose
patronage they owe not only
their own bread and butter, but
also the sustenance for their
family. Editors are after all
but men, only common place
fellows who work for their
living just like Others,
and they would a great
deal rather fight delinquent
subscribers who can pay and
wont, than to antagonize pa
irons who contribute regular
ily to the support OF their
paper.

ULTERATING FLOUR
WITH CORN MEAL.

corn is down it is quite natural
that a miller here and there
should overdo the scheme of
mixing his corn meal with his
-four. The Modern Miller, a
St. Louis trade journal, has
evidence showing that some
nillers are now mixing seven
five pounds OF corn meal with
every barrel of flour. A barrel
of flour weights 100 pounds
and is, according to the testi-
lnony referred to, nearly one
half corn meal. 1t is said to
be almost impossible to detect
the adulteration. A Baltimore
lady, according to the Sun, in
order to test this latter state
ment, made lightbread out of
a mixture of two pints OF flour
and one pint of corn meal.
The bread, she said, was
excellent and the presence
of the corn meal could not be
detected. though there might
be a suspicion that the flour
F was not high grade. Referring
to this new method of adultera
ton, the Modern Miller says:
There is no excuse for mix
r ing the two fours and selling
them as wheat flour; no plea
; can be uttered by the guilty to
such charge, save and except
greed. Honest millers should
make it their business to quote
their product and guarantee II
when sold as pure wheat -four,
and careful buyers, those who
have good names to protect
and who at all times maintain
straightforward business Prin
ciples, should demand such a
guarantee. We have no crit
cism to offer against the prac.
tice of selling the mixture as
blend, for then both dealer and
consumer have the option d
taking it at It's value or leaving
+ it alone" IF this is a true
charge it is a serious matter,

ON COOPERATIVE PLAN
WE'LL EQUIPPED ALASKAN PARTY
FROM NEW ENGLAND.
Headed by Arthur A. SemOur. Son
Of the Well-knOwn Mind
Reader of Boston.

Seattle, Wash, Aug l4.-One of the
largest and best equipped of all the
parties that have started for the klondko
this season has just arrived in this
city from New England. They are or
gained on a military basis, the captain
being Arthur A. Seymour, the son OF
the we'll known mind reader. Charles
II. Moseley, formerly of the Boston
Herald is second, and A. f. Rogers of
Norwich, Conn.,, is treasurer. Each
member of the party originally con-
trbuted $1,000, and each agrees to share
and share alike in all the expenditures
and profits of the expedition. Apart
from these individual contributions the
company has ample financial backing.
They are the first organized party to
leave Boston for the new gold fields,
and their departure from that city on
August was the occasion for real
demonstration, thousands of people as
sembling at the railway station to see
them off. The corporate name of the
expedition is the Haverhill Mining Com
pany, from the fact that Seymour at
the time he organized it was at Haver-
hill, Mass, although his home is at
Utica, N. Y.
The members of the company have
done all their Quitting in this city.
Seymour organized the party, and is
chief Mr.. Williams is "A years old
and California fortyniner. He will
instruct his companions in mining and
the usages of mining camps.
Their outfit is one of the most elab-
crate and costly. There is nothing ex-
travagant about it, but every necessary
article is there, and everything is OF
the best quality. The only thing they
brought from the east is some sheepskin
sleeping bags, which are of superior
workmanship and of unique and useful
design. Their passage was engaged by
telegraph some days ago on the steame,
Humboldt, which is due to sail from Sc
attic for st. Michaels Sunday morning
and their tickets guarantee them arrival
at Dawson City before the river is frozen
up.
