Good Journalism
Uersds CheapneSS

Through intense rivalry the price Of two
of the newspapers of Rochester, N. y
the Democrat and Chronicle, and the
Herald-has dropped to one cent copy.
Both are expensive papers, the former
being, indeed, one OF the largest, best
edited and most Influential journals In the
United States. 1t is a business impossi-
bility to print ir Il community the size
oven of Roohester-which hos a reading
population, city and suburban, about ten
times as large as that of Scranton-a first
class paper for one cent and earn fair
profit on the money and brain-powcr in
vested. Only a few of the penny papers
In the very largest cities are today maxi
ing any money, and it would be better all
around II these papers would charge two
cents and use some of the thus increased
revenue in stlll further improving their
contents. This would add to their value
as agencies of public education and en-
able their proprietors to earn deserved
profit as an encouragement in their good
work.
In this connection we desire to quote
with hearty Endorsement these words from
the Elmira, N. Y, Advertiser: Tho pas
sion for circulation at any cost has in
Yaded the newspaper world Of western
New York. In New York city 1t has
wrought such havoc that but three CT
four of the whole array of newspapers are
self-supporting and some of them have
become the grave Of millions of money. A
modern daily cannot be printed proitably
at the price of one cent and maintain its
quality as a leader of public opinion. 1t
must run more and more to sensational
ism, must cultivate the exciting hunt for
scandal and make nause Gus display of IT,
must cater to the slums Such Is the uni
form course of such journalism.
O.
"lts tendency Is constantly downward,
for 1t cannot be otherwise. This newspa-
pcr war in Western New York has led
newspaper managers to offer their wares
at a cent a copy. After a brief experience
of them no man who values clean reading
in his family paper will tolerate one of
them in his house. The policy of cheap
Journalism of that sort is ruinous as a
matter of business. One of these compet-
itors announces that IL is prepared to sink
100000 in its iCiotic competition. Another
one is figuring in the county records as
causing mortgages to grow when they
were unknown.
THE simple questions with a sensible
man are whether he wants to get for a
cent what he will be ashamed to have in
his house, whether he thinks that a policy
of bankruptcy should be encouraged,
whether he wants ever more and more of
the vulgar Yellow journalism is the re-
proach of the metropolis. Does he want
to reduce himself to the same alternative
in the country by encouraging the mad
scramble in western New York? There
is something besides one cent to think Of"

Today at Lake Geneva, Wis, Charles
I. Yerkes of Chicago will formally pre-
sent to the University of Chicago the
largest refracting telescope in the
world and there will be added to sci
ence an astronomical instrument Of un-
precedented power and cost. The tele-
scope is 81 feet long and has a 5O-inch
lens; its weight is six tons, and the
cost of the entire apparatus, including
observatory and grounds, is not far
from s1,OOO,O00. What developments in
science the dedication of this wonder
full instrument will presage cannot be
conJectured; but the mind fairly loses
itself in the vast field of speculation
and study which this greatest of tele-
scopes will sweep, and in the yet vaster
expanse which even it's piercing vision
cannot penetrate.

This revival of talk in favor of Cuban
annexation to the United States is
merely phase of a ferment in public
opinion caused by the general recogni-
tion that Spanish sovereignty in the
pearl of the Antilles is rapidly ap-
preaching its doom. Some day and
somehow, in the far future, Cuba may
he gathered under the folds of the
Red, White and Blue, not by aggres4
sion but by manifest destiny; but it
will not be until Cuba has had prepar-
alton for the change, and successful
experience in the art of governing her.
self. The question of annexation in all
its bearings may safely be confded to
the craftsmanship of the time to come;
today, the issue is, not annexation but
justice. Cuba has just claim to free
dom; the United States is in duty
bound to take the subject in hand, and
in our judgment the quickest and
safest solution is to recognize Cubas
belligerency and let the Cubans then
by their own prowess clean Spain out.

The Tribune acknowledges with
pleasure the receipt of beautiful
volume from the Peter Paul Book
company of Buffalo containing under
the title, THE Fugitives and Other
Poems" collection in permanent form
of verses written at odd times by Hon.
John +. Barrett, the editor of the
Truth. With Mr.. Barretts graces of
diction and felicity in rhyming Scran-
tonians are already familiar; but all,
we are sure, will be glad to have the
opportunity to enjoy the children of
his fancy in the fine dress and neat
typography of this charming volume.
We hope to have the opportunity at
future time to examine in company
with our readers some of these meri-
torious productions, many of which
possess to residents of this community
the double interest of local authorship
and local themes and color.
