A QUESTION IN ETHICS.

Publisher johnson OF the Randolph
Herald and News wakes virtuous in
his old ace. In last weeks issue Of
his excellent newspaper he says: 81
will not knowingly sell or circulate
any copies of my paper that have
reason to believe are bought on ac-
count OF the editorial expressions
therein contained. - CYergennes En-
terprise.
Which is the veriest nonsense and
mmy-rot-provided that the edi-
torials are honest goods. If they are
dishonest and insincere, they should
not appear under any circumstances.
The position taken is not only indie
feasible from any rational viewpoint
but is ridiculously artificial. 1t would
be as inane and foolish tor a minister
of the gospel TO pronounce: 81 will
not knowingly permit to be printed
and circulated at the expense OF any
body any sermons of mine that | have
reason to believe are circulated by
reason OF the truths contained therein,
as such truths appeal to me-" The
Herald has assumed very fantastic
attitude Rutland Evening News.
If anyone desires our papers on ac-
count of the editorial expressions
therein contained, they can be had for
five cents a copy; and if we ever
knowingly or Willingly wrote an
editorial that was worth selling, we
would be mighty glad to sell it for
half price. - Newport Express.
1t was not to be expected that the
plan adopted by this paper would
commend itself to all The above
clippings comprise, we believe, all the
adverse criticism that has thus far
appeared in the Vermont press. On
the other hand, at least a dozen papers
have endorsed the idea, as wise and
proper under the conditions known to
exist. But that is neither here nor
there. The rule is for our own publ
cations, not for our contemporaries.
The Rutland News supposes a
parallel case, by which it attempts to
ridicule the principle involved. The
trouble with the brothers parallel is
that it is not a parallel in the first
place, and in the second he does not
carry it to conclusion which enables
him to see clearly. An exact parallel
in the case of a minister of the gospel
would bel will not enter into an
agreement with anybody by which !
am to be compensated by him when |
preach a sermon that pleases him.
The opposite is practically what the
publisher does when he sells extra
copies containing editorials so salts
factory to the party buying them that
he is pleased to pay for and circulate
them. The fact that extra copies in
large number are not usually printed
in Vermont newspaper offices unless
they are engaged in advance, and tor
a known purpose, throws further light
on this phase of the subject. This
paper is satisfied with its fantastic
attitude

II is refreshing to see responsibility
properly placed once in awhile. When
the shocking tunnel accident occurred
in New York city, by which, through a
rear-end collision, many lives were
lost, the poor devil Of an engineer was
of course promptly clapped into jail.
It was alleged that he had failed to
mind the signals, and instead of stop
ping, had plunged ahead into the tun-
mel and 10 disaster. At the cOroner's
hearing, however, it was shown that
owing to smoke and steam in the tun-
mel, the signals were often invisible,
and it had been quite common prac-
tice to run by them. The tunnel has
been a danger-hole for years, but the
railroad companies have gone on com
placently, doing nothing to remedy it.
The jury found the engineer blameless
and he was discharged, but the railroad
officials were held to account. What
criminal proceedings will follow is not
yet known, but if they are oulpable,
we do not see why their position and
influence should shield them. II gen
orally happens that the employee is
made the catspaw, and those higher
up escape.

There are more members OF the Ro-
man Catholic church in the United
States than of all other denominations
combined. This is contrary to the gen
eral opinion, and is explained by the
fact that Protestant congregations in
clude a larger proportion of non-mem-
bers than Catholic. The Catholic church
is gaining much faster in membership.

A Williston farmer, one of whose
cows was recently condemned by the
state board on account of tuberculosis,
had the veterinaries make a careful ex-
animation of the carcass for the pur-
pose of locating the extent OF the dis
ease. The vets. found nothing at first,
but finally brought a small particle
from the intestines, which they an
nounced was affected This the owner
sent to the state laboratory, where the
chemist analysed it and found no
trace of tubercle bacilli. There is
nothing wonderful about this, except
as it shows how difficult it is to bring
those entrusted with the test to the
point Of admitting error.
