Frankfort Moore has no sympathy with

cause his second third book does not
bring him fame and fortune. Il published

twelve years thirty-one books for boys, rat
Ting tales of adventure of all kinds by land

Mr.. Moore was never discouraged, for he

SSitN CENSORSHIP.
How the Press is Kept Tnder Control
in That Country.

FROM the National Review
Sometimes a journal receives what is
known as d warning. The first warning IS
not regarded very seriously. 1t is said even
that paper either newly established or
which finds its popularity and circulation
diminishing not unfrequently courts a first
or even a second warning in order to gain
a reputation for its enterprise and indepen-
dence. During the past few months two
warnings which. if report be true. We're in
directly solicited. have been administered to
the Northern Courier, a colorless Journal
recently founded by a member of the we'll
known Bariantnsky family The third
warning, however, is q serious matter and
almost invariably entails the disappearance
of the journal either finally or for a certain
period.
Sometimes, again, the penalty consists in
the withdrawal of the right to expose the
paper for sale by number that is, in the
streets. at railway stations, shops, book
stalls, &c, 4 punishment which is rendered
the more severe by the difficulty which eX-
lists in St. Petersburg of obtaining news
papers by subscription at short notice.
Owing to the fact that the daily delivery of
papers is carried out neither by the news
paper offices themselves nor by news
agents. but by the post office, subscriptions
for papers are only received for periods of
d I1OUlu VI iiole. SUCH pSTlbu udllHg al
ways from the first day of the month, the
result being that after a new month has
commenced it is impossible to obtain by
subscription the papers for the rest of that
month without paying for all the numbers
which have already appeared. The cumsi-
Less Of the system tends naturally to make
the public more dependent on the sale by
number. so that if this right is Withdrawn
the loss to the paper SO punished is neces-
sarily the greater. A still sharper measure
is to forbid the publication of any adver-
tisements. a prohibition which. if enforced
for any length of time, almost necessarily
involves the ruin of the journal. Or, again.
the authorities may require that a partic-
ular editor manager should cease his
connection with his paper, as was done in
the case of NJ. Korsh, who in 1873 was
compelled to resign his position as editor of
the St. Petersburgskiia Viedmosti. Lastly
there is the suppression of the paper either
for limited period. which may be again
and indefinitely extended. or In perpetuity
Sometimes the official announcement of the
penalty inflicted refers specifically to the
article or articles objected to: sometimes it
merely declares that the tendency OF the
paper is harmful: sometimes no reason at
all is assigned.
