The Gushing Herald hits the mark
fairly and squarely in the following re-
marks on the "Freedom Of the Press"
We are so accustomed to rrate abo1t
the free press, that many persons, cspec-
tally those connected with news vending,
have come to think that because we have
a free press that no such thing az privacy
is to be permitted to the individual, the
corporotion or the government. The
more Sc ;rets that can be unearthed aud
aaunted before the public, the more en-,
terprising the press imagines itself, Be>
cause something is of the most sacred as
well AS secret nature, is considered no
argument against its publicity. For that
reason il is seized upon with the greater
avidity Mems and women's regulations
are not needed, the peace Of homes is
rulhlessly destroyed, families are broken
up. But these evidences of viciousncss
are not sufficient to satisfy the monster.
The very government Of the country is
attacked. Secrets, upon the keeping OF
which almost the existence of the nation
depends, are icrreted out. Means the
most despicable are resorted to to nose
out these matters of state, and having
got hold of them they are given to the
world. friends aud enemies alike getting
information that according to every il
stinct of honesty, discretion OF sense,
should have been in the custody of only
the most limited number of people, per-
haps IN the keeping of only the chief
executive himself When the press puts
such an Interpretation upon the expires,
sion "freedom of the press, in place of
being an instrument for the protection of
the liberties Of the people, it becomes a
terrible internal enemy, that will as sure
az night succeeds the day, turn our free
government into grinding despotlsm un-
less the law places before long a check
upon its cancerous malignancy.
Ex-senator John J. Ingalls,, of Kan,

Whatever Senator ingalls, touches he
