= Better Journalism.

| For the last few years American
Journalism, or at least iG tie larger
cities, has been steadily degtneratinG
until now the metrorolita, papers
are Stunned by those who have 10
taste for the vile, aud who wish to
keep their minds reasonably pure.
While the fanil;lics for cb.nininy
news and printing it with all the
coDconitants OF illustrations ard life
like fidelity to facts were never SO
perfect as now, yet to what base
uses ara they :urneh! The class Of
news" given to the public has been
vitisting, demoralizing and disgust
ing in the extreme. The great Jour
nails vie with each other AS to which
| one can serve the most nauseous
mess OF sensationalism, corruption
and crime, and that one which out
! does the other is accorded the title
Of "great."
! Not one Of the New York dailies-
with the possible exception of the
Sun-has ever looked for other news
than Of the wrongs daily being done.
, With their reporters pencils daily
the pool OF human misery, degrade
ton and crime is stirred to the bot
tom, and the tainted matter brought
to the surface is printed with all the
horrible details gathered by mon
trained to no other duty. A delecta-
BILE intellectual treat, OF a verify.
Art has been sacrificed to prurient
pictures science has been relegated
to out-of-the-way corners, and iitera-
tnre, except Of the neurotic sort
bearing the common stamp of degen-
eracy, is passed by as not worthy OF
notice-it does not afford the excite.

by these self-same papers, Graves. Is
it any wonder that skeptieisn is on
the increase in the cities; that the
standard of morals has fallen until ii
has become practically nothing; thai
mau's inhumauity to man has not
now more than passing notice as 6
wrong, per SO; and that SO many
lpeoplo are confirmed po8sinists?
! The newspapers have been carried

cannot 10 X over the papers without
be'na very strongly impressed with
the idea tAlt crime is on the Increase,
III the Stave OF Louisiana. Ia fact,
within the last few months there
seems to have been a regular carnival
Of of@nSes against the laws Of thu
State, and thlt, too, of most serious
nature. 1t seems, from the records
of the courts, that they have become
poYer.a5s to enforce the criminal
laws; the good and law abiding
classes, who seek and have right
to protection at the hands of the
courts, have apparently turned ava,
from them, utterly demoralized and
disguated. Ofcourse, those who arc
familiar with the workings of the
courts know whore the fault lies
They know and fully appreciate the
fact that the fault, in nearly every
instance, rests upon the failure of the.
lurles to do their duty. 1t seems to
be an easy matter for the State to-
obtain convictions in accusations of
larceny, concealed weapons and other
misdemeanors, but in cases of a more
serious nature, and especially homi-
cldes, no matter how conclusive the
evidence may be, there is mistrias
or acquittal.-CatahOaIG Neps.

CLEVELAND AND THE SOUTH How

The value of a cotton mill to. q
town is we'll illustrated by the success
of the mill recently completed in
Meridian, Miss. The Post of that
city, says the enterprise sis proving
even more successful than its pro-
moters looked forward to in 30 short
time after its erection" Theentire
establishment is now running night
and day, giving employment to about
three hundred men and women. The
distribution OF the amount of wages
necessary to pay off this humber Of
employees, means much to the people
of q town of the size of Meridian, and
especially so to class of people who,
for sundry reasons, are debarred from
earning a living in other employ
meuts. Additional to this the con-
sumption of an amount of cotton nee
essary to keep three hundred people
employed, means local market for
several thousand bales of cotton and
the making OF the market especially
attractive to cotton growers located
in the immediate territory surround
ing the town.-liobite Register.

On the day that tie dingley bill
was offered IN the national house OF
representatives the chaplain, officially
communicating with Omnipotence,
prayed "that every home in tie
United States be blessed with abun-
dance" as consequence of the legis-
lstion of the Fifty fifth Congress.
Amen and amen! But legislation
by the Fity-ffth or eny other Con
gress Of the United States is more
calculated to take what little is left
out OF homes, save few, rather than
to increase their store, for i: does
not lie in the power of legislation tc
create abundance, to beget prosperity
by any affirmative legislation, and
least OF all by measure Of taxation
Congress may cid q sITering z coun
try by repeal Of various enactnentt
in restraint OF trade. Il csn never
create general welfare by taxing ths
people and calling it prosperity.-

Bryan's Advice to a Boy.

One OF the soIoolboy reporters OF
the Atlanta Journal called upon FIR
Bryan aud asked him to answer the
following question:
"What advice would you give to
a boy dependant upon his own efforts
and desiroas OF making y success Of
life9"
Ha said: "I havo only time for o
brief answer I would advise him to
secure an education first. Under our
public school system education is
free, and be can Gni some one who
will give him board and clothing for
the assistance he can give about a
house. During The vacations he Can
work for wages. When his educa'
tion is completed he should choose
an occupation for which be has a
taste, SO that lis work will be q
pleasure.
"ALy boy who is really anxious
to do 50 can secure al education
aud any man who has average ability
can, with honesty and Integrity
make an Average success in life. TIE
boy should remember that it is more
important 10 win a good name thar
riches, and he should be as carofu
about bis moral training as he i!
about his mental aAd physical dcVel
| opmelt. When the body only is de
veloped man is q brute; when bod,
and mind only are developed man il
a curse to society; when body, miat
and heart are al fully developed

MUD DIET OF LONDON.
Scientific PerpoR PubIlshes Some
Astounding Sta tastics.


There is nothing like dealing with
large figures and no doubt the state
ment by q scientific person that London
ers drink in the course of a year 1000
tons Of mud will appear to many TO
disclose a terrible and most dangerous
state of things, says the London Stand
Grd. Nothing could be further from
the truth. A thousand tons of mud
would mean, perhaps, about half o
pound of mud to each person. 1t will
be certainly not too much to assume
that each half pound of mud does not
contain more than two ounces of solid
matter, probably much less. Now it is
certain that in the course of three or
four windy days in March each person
in the air all day will draw in fully an
ounce of dust, as much as he will swal-
low in water during six months. A
railway traveller who takes few hours
journey in dry weather has but to look
at the state of his coat and of the car
riage seat to form an idea of the amount
of dust that must have entered his
mouth, the ma jority of which on touch
ing the palate and tongue is converted
into mud and swallowed. Thus, then,
it will be seen at once how many in
finitesimally small and how absolutely
innocuous is the daily portion of this
1000 tons of mud swallowed by Ion
doners and how little cause there is for
alarm in the array of figures piled up
by the scientific investigator, who may
frighten weak-minded people but does
not in the slightest degree affect the
ordinary man or excite ID him any
feeling whatever save Indifference.
