ssNewapapersss from the Blue Nose
Standpoint.

According to yesterdays SUM- a SYM
postum of INSTRUMENTATION clergymen
was held in the Fourth Avenue Presby-
terrain Church Monday to discuss TT
Ideal Newspaper After the address on
this subject delivered by the Rev. DR..
David ]. BurrelI on December Z a COM
mittee was appointed to consider the SUBJ
feet and report. The committee was
composed of the Rev. Drs. J. M. Buckley
and Wesley johnson, Methodist Epis-
ropal;; J. B.. Remensnyder, Lutheran; R.
s.. Macarthur, Baptist; William T.
Sabine, Reformed Episcopal; John Hall,
Presbyterian, and David j. Burrell, Re
formed Church. Mondays meeting was
called to receive the report.
Among other things, DR.. Buckley said
that mo man would dare to ~antagonize
q newspaper until he had stopped to CON
slider whether there was anything in his
life or family history that might be ex-
posed in return" Diyested of its disin-
g~enuousness, this simply means that no
one nowadays ventures to pose as a CEN
SCR of others unless he is moderately sure
he has a clean record. If DR.. Buckley
objects, we are sorrysfor him. We would
advise him to study the story of the
woman taken in adultery, which, I'M
happily. is expunged from the revised
version, but is not, however, as yet re-
1ected by Dr.. Buchleyss communion.
Or. Buckley recommendations, how
ever. are the most Interesting feature Of
mis- report. Weswill give them, one by
pne, with an incidental word of com
ment:-
FIRSTyTnat whatever the sentiments
of publishers and editors, religion should
be treated by the press as q factor of
prime importance III the hfesof the eoun-
try, should be mentioned respectfully.
and that the reports of religious enter
prises, special services. and local pro-
gress should be made as full as their sig
niicance properly demands.
Or. Buckley knows as well as anyone
that religion is treated as a prime factor
BY al newspapers, and in its various
phases 1t Is given more space than any
one other topic.
It is invariably mentioned respectfully.
The reports of religious doing are made
1ust as full as they deserve to be.
SECOND-We regard Sunday news
papers as tending to break down the dis
t~inctioil between Sunday and other days;
1mpairing the spirit of devofion; often
superseding the family reunions at the
altar Of prayer; consuming the time nee
essary to prepare for the house of God,
and preoccupying the minds of those who
Pttend SO as to render them impervious to
Spiritual influences.
on the contrary, they do more than
pny m other thing to emphasize the
distinction between Sundays and week
days., II is ridiculous to pretend the con
frary. It is improbable that they ever
take the place Of prayer or worship, but
Il is certain that they do of = number

MR.. SHEFFIELD PHELPS is said to
be much discouraged over his newspaper
investments in this State; and rumor says
that his name is only a figurehead on the
Newark Advertiser though his $50, 600
still remain in the Evening Journal
Mr.. Phelps ought not to feel discouraged.
He attracted much attention to himself
in a short time, and if he could only rid
the Journal" of that pernicious influence
which is dear at any price he would soon
be at the head of the most reputable Re-
publican newspaper in the State. But in
the game of Dear & Sons VS.. Pangborn &
Sons it looks as though Mr.. Phelps had
only been used as a stepping stone for
the exclusion of one party to the benefit
of the other. We surmise that joey call
culated that the young man from Tea
neck would soon tire of the toy.

On the whole, the New York press does
its duty ably, co%nscientiously and effec-
lively. It's principal fault. of late, has
been weak temporizing with puritanism
and phariseeism. The fearful conse-
uuences of this are perceptible in the
hideous outrages on law and decency of
which New York is daily the theatre.
The papers however, seem to be waking
up at last. and P-arkhurstism may soon
nave to go.
The worst of it all is that the very min
listers who talk this nonsense in the Sum
day papers pay for the advertisements
of their sermons in them and beg gratui-
tous notices. There were probably not
three men at the symposium who would
resist the temptation to see their pictures.

displayed in the most sensational product
of the new Journalism that offends

THIRD-We appeal to the people OF the
churches to consider prayerfully their
responsibility in these premises. They
can by combining exert an irresistible in
huence upon the character of the secular
press.
Quite true. The people make the news
papers just what they are. The news
papers are made to please the people, and
IL they failed to do so, they would be
made some other way.
FOuRTH-We urge upon them the inn
portance of patronizing only such pews-
papers as manifestly aim TO be clean and
wholesome, and such as support the prin-
ciples which subserve the highest welfare
of the community.
Not one person in ten thousand will pay
even the slightest attention to such urg-
ing. The people want the preachers to
mind their own business.
FIFTH-we suggest that IL any one of
the leading newspapers should withdraw
its Sunday edition, il should have such
immediate and general support as viii
Enthusiastically manifest the moral senti-
ment of the community.
If any paper should take this course it
would be in the hands of a receiver in
three months.
There is no moral sentiment whatever
against Sunday papers, and their circu-
lation is the proof of the fact.

THE DIFFERENCE.

Chairman Jones has been entity OF
fchism to democracy by acknowledging
that silver Is like wheat. and that both
arc influenced IN price by the supply and
demand There is no demand for silver
and II has gone down. There Is demand
for wheat and IL has gone up. The States
man was bCscotted last sumner for main
tairing the zane principle OF political
economy that Chairman Jones now de-
cares Is the true one Ia regard to silver
as well as any ether commodity. La the
long run the Statesman win generally be
found 10 be right, Austin Statesman.
II wasn't because the Statesman said that
the law OF supply and demand controlled
the prlce OF every commodity that the peo-
plo objected to It last year, because every
body admits that great TRUTH but 1t was
because the Statesman fought the demo
cratic platform which demanded that silver
be admitted to the minis on an equality
with gold as money metal, which woult
have created demand for elver equal tc
the demand for gold, and therefore made
the commercial and legal ratio the same
and kept II there.
