IL mas been charged that country
newspapers are boot-lickers on the
money side of a question. That
they are afraid to condemn a wrong,
that it is the duty of newspaper
TO expose everything that is not
exactly right and proper, etc. A
man Is engages in the newspaper
business to make living Just like
anyone else in any other business.
1t Is rot the duty of a newspaper
man to ferret out any mean or con.
temptiOle act, any more than il is
the duty OF any other citizen. The
citizens Of a community are re-
sponslble for the immortality of a
town, for dishonest elections, Ior
the breaking of the law; not the
newspaper. How many business
men are there in town who will
condemn a wroug-doer when they
know it will loose them money,
and possibly cost them their living?
And yet, that's what some people
expect a newspaper to do. The
trouble is the (so-called) honorable
people OF community haven t the
moral courage to stand up for their
rights. The majority of them if
they endorse an article condemn
ing the wickedness of some action,
will come around to the editor in
private and tell him he has done
right, yet when it comes to saying
it publicly, talking it on the streets
and elsewhere, their courage fails
them, and the editor is left to fight
the battle alone-probably against
one Of his best patrons. If you
have any grievance to make do it
publicly, If a newspaper attempts
a reform that you know is right,
and will result in benefit to the
town give it your support publicly.
Don't sit back and say a newspaper
man hasn't the courage to say what
is right and what is wrong, until
you yourself can rise above the al-
mighty dollar and take your stand
for truth and honesty. 1t is the
individual and not the newspaper
that hasn't the moral courage

1t seems almost to he taken for
granted by the majority of men
that money is of more value than
anything else. Character, reputa-

finest shades Of distinction between

these down and sit throned on a

tendencies of its own toward

DUN'S REVIEW.

New York, June pr. C. Dun's
Weekly Review OF Trade tomorrow will
Say: In the great staples there is a
turn for the better. Exports of wheat,
-four included, for the week, have been
1888 672 bushels, against 3,SOO,OO0 last
year, and in three weeks g.
1882, against l1,005,7 9S busrels last
year. Corn. exports also continue large
2,627 866 bushels, against 2,574, 1928 bush
els last year.
A sharp fall in cotton also encour-
aged exports. These are facts which
preceded orders for gold exports this
week, and do not result from them, but
show the prospect Of larger outgo or
merchandise il coming months. Wheat
receipts at the west. 5000, 6SS bushels
for the past three weeks, against g.
463,779 bushels last year and 4,540 $40
bushels in the same weeks of 1897, show
an extraordinary movement at this sea-
son, indicating no suspicion there of
shortage.
The great gain in volume of business
might seem of questionable safety were
it not greater than in iron production,

mand Oyersupply and not from spec

ducts has gone so far that all specula-
ton has long ago been left behind Pro-
ducers have been working for months

Fraud in Coal Entries Detected.

Washington. Oct. 2l.-Commis-

office has decided in a case arising
in Colorado that it is unlawful to
take coal from the public lands
under coal deolaratory statement
and that the parties purchasing
the coal thus obtained can be held
responsible for the value of the
same until the government has full
satisfaction for the amount of the
trespass. This means that claim
ants have not the privilege to mine
coal for sale at speculation and
that the purpose of coal declara-
tory statement is to protect the
claimant in a preference right of

hoyt Asks Investigation.

Canon City, Oct 20. Warden
Hoyt has made formal request to
the penitentiary commissioners to
hold a meeting at as early date
as is possible for the purpose of
making n thorough and impartial
investigation into the mystery sur
rounding the escape of Stratton
from the penitentiary on the night
of Oct. 10. Two memb bers of the
board are now here, Judge Hines
of Trinidad, and Hon. III. L. White
of this city, and the third, King of
Ouray, has been telegrapbed to set
the date most convenient for him.
Warden Hoyt in an interview said
he felt this course to be his duty,
since so much had been said in the
newspapers, some of which was
true and much erroneous. He
thinks he owes it to his friends and
the public at large to have the
matter thoroughly sifted and clear
ed up once for all. He has no fears
of the final outcome; he is confident
he will be exonerated of all blame,
