THE DIFFERENCE.

There is a vast difference be-
tween the expansion Of today, as
being practiced by the republican
party, and that in the past history
OF this country, and there could
be no stronger evidence that the
republican leaders recognize the
weakness of their argument in fa-
vor of the acquisition of the Phil
ippines than the absurd plea that
the case is similar to the acqui-
sition of adjoining territory. In
reference to the "consent of the
governed, f" the New York World
says:
In every one of the six treaties
with foreign powers-with Great
Britain for lands along the north
ern frontier, with France for
Louisiana, with Spain for Florida,
with Mexico for two separate con-
cessions, with Russia for Alaska
we solemnly and specifically
bound ourselves to make the peo-
pie of the coded territories citizens
of the United States and solemnly
and specifically extended the con-
stitution ever them; we made the
civilized people citizens of the re-
public and the Indian tribes au-
tonomous and self-governing I'M
der our supervision.
1t was not necessary to ask the
consent Of the governed. How
could any man ask more than
freedom and the right to rule him
self? And these rights we grant
ed. How could any man refuse
elevation from the rank of sub
ject to the rank of sovereign {?
And that elevation we gave.

THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER..ITS
CHARACTER AND MISSION.

The editor of the average daily
or weekly newspaper rarely passes
through day without somebody
pointing out to him or those asso-
ciated with him something that
the paper ought to Jump on, !"
for the good of the town or COM
munity. Many well meaning but
mistaken people seem to think
that it is the local newspapers
business to correct all the evils.
right all the wrongs, straighten
all the crooked and reform all the
wicked and depraved in the COM
munity. AT the came time these
people expect the local paper to
inaugurate new enterprises, take
care of the commercial interests of
the town, and dispense good cheer,
inspire confidence and do such
things generally for the good of
the public as individuals don't
care to undertake.
Of course no newspaper can sat-
isfy such people, and it is the ex-
perience of every newspaper man
who has been in the harness for
any considerable length of time
that the more he tries to meet the
expectations of such people the
more he can't and the weaker
he becomes in the estimation of
the general public.
Newspapers, like individuals,
have to take care of their reputa-
tions and at the same time mani
fest amiable dispositions and Gull
tivate agreeable and pleasing re-
lations. 1t can establish itself in
the good will and confidence of
the public in no other way. In
other words, every newspaper has
an individuality. 1t must also
have character, and both should
be carefully and jealously guarded.
The first business of the news
paper is to print the news, and
the highest aim of every newspa-
per should be to tell the truth,
treat everybody fairly and bear
malice toward none. And this
brings us to the point of saying
that no well-conducted newspaper
ever has grievance of it's own,
and that it is never incumbent
upon 1T to take up another's. Nor
is it the business of the local news
papers to do all the kicking,
growing and croaking in the COM
munity where it is published.
There are always plenty of indi-
viduals to do these disagreeable
things. Chronic growing and
scolding is bad enough in individ-
uals, but when Il newspaper ac-
quires such habits-oh, horrors I!

How are we going to reduce the
number of criminals and the enor-
NOUS expense they entail upon the
people? This is a question that
would seem to demand the earnest
attention of sociologists and law
makers even to the exclusion of
others, many of which are far less
important. Crime is our most ex-
pensive luxury, according to the
figures presented by Mr.. Eugene
Smith, New York lawyer, before
the recent Congress of the National
Prison Association in Cleveland.
Mr.. Smith makes the statement
that the criminal classes of the
United States cost the people an
nually more than 5000, 200, 900, a
sum greater than the value of the
entire cotton crop, or of the wheat
crop, a sum that is far in excess of
total annual expenses of the na-
tlonal government.
