"TnE EDITOR is A FOOL ETC. The
printing press has made presidents.
killed poets, furnished bustles for
beauties, and polished genius with
criticisms. 1t has made the world
yet up at roll call every morning, CIV
ing the pulpit lungs of iron and Il voice
OF steel. 1t has set the price on a
bushel Of wheat, and made the coun.
try pUstoffice the glimmering goal OF
the rural scribe. 1t has curtailed the
power of kings. 1t has converted
bankers into paupers and made law
yers Of college presidents; it has edu-
rated the homeless and robbed the
philosopher Of his reason. 1t smiles
and kicks, and cries and dies. but it
can't be run to suit everybody, and
the editor Is a fool who tries.

The newspapers ofa town are its
looking glasses. 1t is here you see
yourself as others see you. You smile
on them and they smile back at you:
you frown on them and your are repaid
in kindness. They are the reflex OF
the town. lf the town Is doing busi-
ness, the newspaper will show it in its
advertising columns. If the mer
chants are spiritless, shiftless fellows
whose stores are jumbles OF junk and
jam, the newspaper will show it b,
the lack Of space they take. If yot
want the world to know that you
have live town, you can only let It
be known through It's newspapers.

A PRINTING. PAPER TRUST.


New York World
A demand will he made upon con-
gress 1T the coming session for re.
peal Of the duty on woodpulp and
reduction Of the tariff on printing
paper, which will test the sincerity OF
the republicans in saying that they
are opposed to duties which foster
trusts and protect monopoies.
1t will. be shown that neither OF
these duties is required for the pros.
lection OF American industries, as our
manufacturers actually made paper so
much more cheapy than it can he
made elsewhere that they export it
and boast OF their ambition TO c0ntrol
the paper trade Of the world.
1t will be shown further than the
international paper trust owns nearly
all the available spruce timber in the
United States and controls all or
nearly all the water supply contiguous
to this pulp-wood. In its needless
greed it is destroying our protected
forests, aud thus not only exhausting
the pulp material, but impairng the
water supply. The real protection
tn our forests will come through ad-
mitting tree the pulp made from the
almost limitless supply OF spruce in
Canada, British America and North
ern Europe
The duty on paper Is a tax on in
tellgence premium upon monopo-
ly. the bulwark OF a trust. II con-
gress shall permit this exacton to
continue there is no robher.tax that
need fear disturbance.

PRO AND CON-AS TO CATS. "A Ger.
mama merican woman has founded a
home for lonely cats IN Spreenhagen,
near Berlin. All kinds Of cats are to
be well cared for in a villa especially
built for the purpose and standing in
sixteen acres Of beautifully wooded
grounds. The new establishment will
he a boon to those rather numerous
female testatOrs anxious about the
future Of their pets.
The town Of Adrian, Mich, is over
run with cats. and the local council is
seriously thinking OF Offering bountes
for the destruction Of the surplus fe-
lines. AT recent meeting Of that
body the town clerk stated that con-
servatire estimate placed the number
of cats within the borough at $500, or
more than three times the human
population, which is LOO. The resi-
dents engage in cat shouting bees

ply more rapidly than they can be
