OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES .. 1900
ESSENTIAL TO RIGHT OONCLU
SIONS

1t is prudent and judicious that
people should read the reli bile indie
pendent press, as it is natural that
party organs should be biased in re-
porting the political news. An
honest and fearless independent
paper has more lstitude-it is not
hsmpered by party ties and pub
fishes the cold facts just as they
occur. An Intelligent man desires
full ..-sS.cafate information in
5Tder that he may comprehend
the real status of the country and
direct his actions as his best
judgment may dictate. 1t is not I'M
Just to any to assert that such infor-
nation, in its entirety, can only be
obtained through the columns of the
independent press. To deny this
proposition is to seek to transform
human nature and deprive it of its
natural trend.
More, there is every incentive for
party organ to suppress news of a
detrimental nature to its party, while
the independent papers are free to
publish all the facts without fear of
criticism. A case in point occurred
the other day. Says the New York
Post:
The fact Is that several Of the morn
ing Republican papers left out of their
news columns an interview Published
in London with Archbishop Ireland Of
the Catholic ohuroh, in which he stated
that the Pope was pleased with Mr.
McKinley's attitude toward the Oath
Ollie church in Oubs and the Philippines.
The northern Methodists have been
sharply critloisiDg the president because
of his friendliness TO the Catholics, and
If this proof Of Ii coming from the great
est and most influential American
Catholic, were allowed TO 60 20 the
northern Methodist church, there
would be trouble So thought these re.
publican papers. at any rate, ard sup
pressed the interview.
Such action would be radically
wrong in any paper. The public is
entitled to the full facts affecting its
interests and the truth should not
hurt any just cause. The people are
justified in proving censOrious to 8
paper which deliberately suppresses
from them valuable information. A
good, up.to-dste and reliable indie
pendent paper should visit every
household desiring full and accurate
facts. 1t is q sine qua non to correct
conclusions and judicious actions.

OPPORTUNITY.

Ii is Just as we'll at this stage Of the
game 30 ask the attention Of young men
TO the truth that all the campaign talk
to the effect that there is no longer any
opportunity for young men In this
country is mere nonsense and bun
c0mbe. IL Is the same kind Of talk
that has been heard In every generation
since the human race began. The left
overs and survivors from former gener
atoms have always talked Of 1.-The good
old times" and made many people be
lieve them Richmond News.
True; there never were better times
or more opportunities for energetic
young men than today in this country.
No man who is capable. industrious
and honest need be long without q
good job. The trouble is on the
other hand-men of business find it
difficult to procure desirable help.
AS we have taken occasion recently
to say, business men watch with
eager eyes the careers and habits of
growing boys, and when they ind one
that is what he should be his value
is almost without limit. 1t is only
those who have vices or some patent
failing that f1nd it difficult to get a
job, and when you hear complaints
of this kind you may mark it down
that the fault is in the man, and not
in the times.

1T SEEMS that the members of the
Legislature want it, and of course
they are going to have their way
about an extra session. The Demo
Gratis are creeping out of the pledge
made at Norfolk to hold down the
expenses Of constitutional Conven.
ton to the lowest notch. Will they
also 60 back on the pledge to submit
the work Of the Convention to q vote
OF the peopleR The chances are that
they will unless the people and press
keep them up to it. But, for the
present, they are content with holding
40 extra session of the Legislature,
aud, we opine, not so much because
of the urgency of constitutional
reform as that each member has
some pet local bill in his pocket
which he failed to get passed at the
last session, or some political griev-
ance to get adjusted, or some friend
whom he wants to put into office.
Simmer the thing down and find out
how many individual members are
without one or more of these incen-
tiv0g.
