 It is true that there are a few conspicu- ous exceptions to the rule that governs the reputable newspapers of the country.
 Not only are the managers of our lead ing newspapers entitled to great credit for the scrupulous care they enforce on their reporters and correspondents to pre- sent the truth with as exact fairness as is possible, but the public little know the ceaseless care that is exercised in every reputable newspaper office to prevent the publication or even the truth when 1t would be more harmful to publish than to suppress 1t.

company in Virginia, and a sawmi in West Vir- ginia"
 A sawml here, Touring mill there, mica mine in one place and tobacco factory in another, are
 little things in themselves, but in the aggregate they make telling paragraph which is sure to be widely copied, and the whole South gets the benefit of the free advertising. Men are interested in such item because it is statement of facts It not descriptive writing of glow and glamour, but news. Papers copy 1t and people read 1t because is of current interest Each statement of the kind counts, and when they follow another week after week and month after month the public mind becomes impressed with the idea that the South is hourishing and that it safe land to go to for investment of capital for the making of home.
 The great States of the West might proftably fol- low the South in this method of advertising. There IS an association in the Southern States with cor respondents n every locality which gathers the infor nation and makes it public. similar organization should be established the Pacific Coast to collect with equal diligence information of every new indus record would far outstrp that of the South Our mines and mills and factories are greater and richer than those of the South, and our weekly or monthly statements would have wider reading and make deeper impression.
 movement of this kind could be appropriately undertaken in connection with the proposed Pacific Coast exposition to be held in commemoration of the semicentennia of the discovery of gold. The enter prise should be the work of the whole and not of a single State The South has shown us how to get free advertising of high value and we ought to be wise enough to profit by the example

THE SOLDIERS HEART.

Where Is the heart of a soldier,
 His thought, his hope and his dream, When the rifles ring and the bullets sing And the flashing sabers gleam? On not on the field of battle,
 But far and far away His heart Is living the old. old hopes, While his sword is red in the frayl where IS the heart of a soldier, And what do the bugles wake, Ana what does the roar of the cannon mean When the hills beneath them shake? on not for him the glory,
 And the dash and crash of war; But his heart is away on mission gay Where they hear no cannon roar! And there Is the heart of a soldier A little home on the hill, white-faced woman, little child, That stand by the window sill; g httie song and little prayer, And wonder in the face, And God save papa and bring him back In the goodness of thy grace!' And there is the heart of a soldier Not on the field of fight But steeped in the dream of a saddened home Where window keeps its light, And his way may homeward lead, When under the flag of the freedom-land He has wrought the hero's deed. Yea, there is the heart of a soldier, Where wife and baby are Though his eyes and his will may follow The light of the battle star; Though his hand may swing to the saber, And his bayonet charge the foe, The soldiers heart Is away away, In the home where they miss him so!

A LESSON FROM THE SOUTH.

N NE of the most notable features of the cam | Ipagn of education carried on by the Southern
 V States for the purpose of attracting men and capital is the elaborate way in which they advertise the extension and expansion of their manufacturing industries Every week statement is sent out giving details of the number of mills or improvements in old ones in the South. The showing for any one week is not great but the repetition of these state ments has all the effect of ncessant advertising and the whole country is compelled to give attention to Southern development
 An illustration of the method pursued is to be found in the statement going the rounds of the East ern press, which runs thus: Touching new enter prises inauguraed in the South during the last week the following may be mentioned among the more i'm portant items: A Touring mill in Alabama; cotton mill in Georgia; slave mill in Kentucky; rice mill in Louisiana sawml in Missssippi; in North Carolina Touring mill, tobacco factory and mica mine; in South Carolina a cotton mill. $Ioo,ooo construction company and roller Touring mill; chair and carriage factory in Middle Ten nessee; machine shops, two lumber companies, an electric light plant, mineral oil company, tobacco factory and I25-ton cottonseed oil mill at Texas points, tobacco factory and $2oo,ooo quarryine

A sTREET-PAVING EXPERIMENT.

H PHILADELPHIA has some cobbestone pave Dments lingering among her generally well inn proved streets, and her people have long had
 desire to get rid of them Accordingly great deal of interest has been shown there in proposi- ton from certain responsible contractors pave the cobblestones with asphalt and keep them in repair for ten years at a cost of $1 per square yard.
 The contractors according to the Philadelphia Times, propose using the existing cobbestone pave ments foundation without further preparation ex- cept to thoroughly the cobbles before applying the binder coat and asphalt surface The Times adds
 Tt is claimed that by this method the of paving can be reduced to ST per square yard, the cost at present being about ST 6o Those who advocate the new method claim that it has been tried in this and other cities and that it furnishes as substantial pave ment as when spread upon basis of pounded stone or concrete, and that contractors will be willing to lay the pavement at ST per yard and guarantee its wearing qualities for a period of ten years"
 Other Philadelphia papers equally favorable to the proposed plan. The Record, for example, says:
 The city authorities ought to jump at the offer made by responsible contractors to resurface the cobble streets with asphalt and guarantee to keen them in repair for ten years at an original cost of ST per square yeard. Ten years of saving in repairs costly sweeping, and tear of vehicles and nerves and difficult carriage would be worth to the city and dwellers in the city more than SI per square yard"
 San Francisco has number of cobblestone streets which are about as bad any in Philadelphia They entail heavy cost on all street traffic wear out vehicles deprecate property values and ritate the nerves of all who have to pass along them More over these pavements the principal streets of the city, and therefore doubly objectionable We have, then interest in the proposed Philadelphia experiment. If there is any way in which cobbIe- stone pavement be transform ed into a good asphalt pavement at cost not exceeding ST square yard with guarantee of ten years service we shall be glad to know of 1t.

THE NEWSPAPER REPORTERS.

A very common error is prevalent that the work of reporters, given in newspa- pers, as rule is not entitled to respect or credence. It is generally assumed that the reporter writes chiefly or wholly to make a sensation or in some way interest readers without regard to facts, while just the reverse is the truth in all reputa- ble newspaper establishments.
 It is safe to assume that the statements of reporters given in the leading reputa- ble journals of the country are quite as truthful as are tf~ ranaral stataments

LIES, FAKES AND GALL.

EVER since the outbreak of the with Spain,
 and for years before, the Examiner news service = has been noted for three characteristics scorned by legitimate newspapers and despised of men, but essential in the conduct of yellow journalism:
 LIES. FAKES GALL.
 Yesterday in yelling believing, ocherous screed 1t gave a shameless exhibition of all of them. It claimed to have correspondents in the audience cham bers of crowned heads and in the counsel rooms of other dgnitaries. Yet it is still fresh in the minds of that the so-called interviews with Bismarck have been denied by his secretary that the reported conversationswth the Pope the Kaiser and the Queen Regent of Spain have been refued that the alleged talk with Roosevelt has been roundly denounced by that gentleman as le and that the asserted inter view with Mrs. Mckinley has been denied by the private secretary of the President and the publication of it rebuked as outrage upon womanhood as well deception upon the public
 The yellow puff contained the further clam From Manila Examiner Journal man sent the first graphic story by eyewitness of Deweys great vic tory" This is cunningly worded lie, but neverthe- less lie. The claim is not made that an Examiner Journal witnessed the battle, but only that he sent the first story told by one who was wit Even that is false. The Call correspondent MT. Stckney, was on Dewey's flagship and watched the battle from that standpoint. His story was the first given to the public. The Examiner Journal faked story from short dispatch given them by the Chicago Record and in publishing the mass of trash and falseness impudently claimed the Record cor respondent their own. For this the two Hearst Gngs were denounced by the Record and their lying exposed To this day neither the Journal nor the Ex- aminer has ever given to its readers account or even fair account of the victory at Manila
 Such, tersely and hastily enumerated are some of the facts concerning the service of the E- aminer They show how it has applied to the coec- ton of war news unlimited quantities of
