COWARD'S REFUGE.
The Anonymous Newspaper
Communication.
ALreELDs POSITION APPLAuDED

A Republican Journal In This Congres.
sionsl District Takes Up Subject With
Which Rock Is,and IL Familiar and
Deals with II vigorously.
There was one matter treated in
Gov. Altgeld's farewell message to
the legislature to which attaches
unusual local interest in view of the
fact that the evil dealt with is one
which is being counteaanced by the
Union here, and the people have had
opportunity to comprehend the extent
to which it is carried. The practice
referred to is that of ANONYMOUS
newspaper writing. The governor
likened This busybody to the fellow
who hides behind the hedge and
stones the passerby along tie high
way. The Gslesburg Republican
Register, republican, says OF the
governors reference in this par
ticular:
The governor in his long message
does say some good things. Oas Of
these relates to anonymous articles in
newspapers, attacking the charact. r
of men. The writer has always felt
that correspondence of this kind was
cowardly and belittling. When the
name Of the author is known from
his long use of his nom de plume, it
is different. 1t is our opinion that
every man who furnishes the press
with an article that impugns the mo-
tives and assails the reputation and
acts Of another, should be required
to sign his name in full This sho US
exactly who is the author of the arti-
Gle. 1t will have no more weight or
influence than he has. The proba.
biiitv is that such comm unications
will be seldom written, if the
authors know that they must fec,
the respors bility of auto ship. and
that they eau no longer r-joi e in
secret over the misery Of men whom
they have held up to public 'riticule.
Bsne Of Journalism.
1--WE agree with Gov. Altgeld that
personal anonymous writing is the
pane Of American j)urnalism. These
remarks do not apply to the authors
OF articles of general Interest, which
contain no personal illusions, and
may simply b. the discussions OF
topics OF general interest. However.
We think that in all cases, unless
there is some very good reason. it il
better for writer's to sign their full
names to their article. For writing
q good article the man who writes il
should be given credit"
1t is doub tful if the evil com planned
Of can be reached legally by statutory
enactment. 1t seems to be a matter
wholly within the province of news.
paper itself to remedy. and self re.
speeding journals alone can put q
stop to it. As said before, the Union
has cultivated quite little aggrega'
ton of these individuals whose in.
stincts Of cowardice are thus graft
fed, and who would find little to oc.
cupy them from one years end &c
another if their unsigned contribu
tions were committed where they be-
long--to the waste paper basket.

OREGON RETRIEvEs HERSELF

Oregon has retrieved her reputation
She was about to commit a grievous
error. The representatives OF the peo-
pie who met at Salem failed to return
a United States senator to Washington.
Governor Lord has stepped into the
breach. however, and by his appoint

untarnished the fair name OF this great
Pacific coast empire. Governor Lord 5
