A NEIGHBOURS EXPERIMENT

We confess to being somewhat surprised at
the action of our excellent neghbor, The Now
York Times" in reducing It's price from three
cents to one cent within the city Of NewYOrk
as constituted by the Consolidation act
In our opinion, which we do not doubt its read
ers share, "The Times" has steadily improved
under its present management: we have
watched the process Of rehabilitation with in
terest and goodwill and we have supposed that
It was obtaining a fair share Of the patronage
which naturally incnes toward journal Of
its class. 1t is gratifying TO note that in the
article announcing the change Of price It de-
clares this TO be the fact. while frankly admit
ting that its increase in circulation is not so
satisfactory as to make the old rule OF letting
we'll enough alone apply. In the hope Of great
ly augmcntlng its sales within the metropolitan
district. correspondingly extending it's influence
and enhancing the demand for and value of its
advertising space, our esteemed contemporary
has therefore adopted this new business policy
promising at the same time TO maintain and IL
possible, raise the standard Of quality which
it has lately set itself For our part. we do
not doubt the sincerity OF It's purpose TO do
this nor do we anticipate that 1t will suffer any
moral or intellectual relapse Whether or not
II looks forward will be secured by the means
adopted Is another question.
II Is an Interesting experiment which our
esteemed contemporary Is making. and we hope
we shall not be suspected Of Miniature when
we say that we do not believe 1t will succeed.
The conviction which some newspaper publish
ers lfnvc never abandoned. that such journal
az THE Times" aims to be cannot be prontably
produced at so low n cost as TO permit the sale
Of single copies ror one cent apiece. has been
confirmed by pretty wide experience. at large
expense TO many who once thought otherwise
Unless we are badly msinformed expert opn-
ion Is now decidedly unfavorable 10 the success
OF such an undertaking rs that upon which
1.-THE Times" has ventured 1t Is curious
circumstance moreover, that It's own expert
ence Is adverse to Its present expectations
Years ago, at time when It's condition had be-
come unsatisfactory. and, II we are not mis-

taken. precnriOus our contemporary reduced us
price from four cents to two In the hope or
nrrestiDg Its decline and restoring It's prestige
and prosperity. This was bold but not Il wise
course. for wc.suppOse there Is no risk OF error
I'm saying that II did not accomplish the end In
view. A subsequent change of ownership. fo
lowed by strenuous endcavOrs to nfuse vital
ity into the paper. was not profitable to the
new prOprictOrs. nor was there any indication
of an improvement In its fortunes until. some
years after the price had been raised from two
cents TO three. 1t came under Its present con-
troll or course conditions have changed. but
on the whole they do rot seem to us more
favorable now than they were then TO so great
n reduction In the price Of such paper as 1.-THE
Times
II IS to be observed that the reduction Is made
only in the city of New-York. Elsewhere
single copies will he sold at not less than three
cents and the subscription rates remain I'M
changed But we doubt If this narrow appli-
cation Of the new policy though 1t may APP
pear TO diminish the risk Of serious loss Will
be satisfactory to out-of-tOwn readers of THE
Times" 1t seems to us more likely, on the
contrary to give them the feeling that there is
an unfair discrimination against them when
in fact they are Justly entitled to the benefit
Of n most-favored-rc clause in the new
arrangement. Altogether. we cannot think that
our neighbor has done well for itself. and It's
candid avowal OF an intention to restore the
former price If disappointed in the results or
its undertaking leads lis 10 surmise that IFS
own exppctations are not Of the most confident
sort But, however the experiment may result.
we assure "rhe Times" Of orr friendly interest.
and Of our respect for the general intelligence
and dignity with which, while adhering TO some
principles that seem to us Indefensibe' 1t APP

Once a number Of kindred spirits
were enjoying supper in the land
Of Burns. When the cloth was re-
moved and the usual toasts propos-
ed, some one suggested song. The
efforts Of the first Sootchman met
with such hearty reception that
others were induced to follow his
example.
In the end 1t was found that every
one had contributed to the evenings
entertainment but the medical gen.
tleman who occupied the vice chair.

The doctor protested he could not
sing.
"As a matter Of fact, " be explain
ed, my voice is altogether unmu-

cd by the act of rubbing a brick
along the panels of door.
The company attributed this to
the Doctors modesty. Good singers,
he was reminded, always needed o
lot Of pressing.
Every well" said the doctor, "if
you can stand it, I will sing"
Long before he had finished his
audience was uneasy. The unwill-
ing singer had faithfully described
his voice.
There was a painful silence as the
doctor sat down, broken at length
by the voice Of a Draw Scot at the

meaning, Mr.. Plunkett," said the

English Hostility to Popular Education.

An American visitor to England
who spends some little time in the
country, says j. N. Larned In The
Atlantic, can hardly fail to become
conscious of three serious facts; (1)
That there is strong class feeling
against much education for those
who are looked on as underlings and
servants, a feeling more prevalent
and more pronounced than the
shamefaced sentiment of like mean
ness that is whispered in some snob-
bish American circles. (2) That
the school rate" seems to be the
most begrudged Of English taxes,
the most sharply criticised, the
most grumbled at, and this to de-
gree for which there seems nothing
comparable in America. (8) That
the opposition to secular schools,
fostered by the church and ostensi-
bly, actuated by a desire for rel-
gious instruction in the schools, is
largely supported in reality by the
two sentiments indicated above.
&c" Looking, therefore, to the in
oreasingly democratic conditions
that are inevitable in England, the
reluctance and factiousness Of dis
position that appear among it's citi-
nens touching the vital matter Of
popular education are ominous OF
evil to the nation, and gravely lessen
it's chance Of holding, under the
reign Of democracy, the high place
to which it rose under an aristo-.
cratic regime.
