Truth Telling Papers.

Archbishop Ireland, in an address
before the National Educational AS
sociation, made a strong plea for
truth-telIing in the newspapers. He
charged the "yellow sheets' with be-
ing largely responsible for the out
break Of hostilities with Spain, and
denounced their "unguarded and
reckless" stories from the Philippines
"purporting to tell Of dreadful deeds
of cruelty and injustice for which, on
examination, no foundation in fact is
found" lie characterized the news.
paper as the greatest educator of the
day, and pleaded for truth in its
publication.
Had Mr. Ireland attempted to
enumerate the instances of wilful
lying and the creation of scandals and
outrageous stories out of nothing, his
task would have been an impossible
one. Such yellow papers as the New
York Journal, the New York World
and the Chicago American, have all
too large reading circle for the
good Of the country. The number of
such papers, while their influence is
considerable, is, however, small prob
ably bearing about the ratio that the
common slanderer and liar bears to
the balance of humanity. The ma
jority Of newspapers, newspaper
managers, and newspaper men can
be justly described, as Mr.. Ireland
says, as "honest and honorable, one
Of the nations most precious inherit
ances," as against the few who
"place notoriety and pelf above truth
and virtue"

The Plain Truth.

The conception Of modern journal
ism conveyed in the recent address
by Mr.. II. f. Gunnison of the Brook
lyn Eagle before the Sphinx club of
New York was as elevated aud noble
as it was just aud true. His especial
topic was the value of quality in
newspaper circulation, his contention
being that high quality based on
honesty, intelligence, dignity and
legitimate enterprise, makes a paper
far more valuable to both its readers
and advertisers than circulation
swollen by fake advertisements, lur-
id type, crooked morals and cheap
sensatiOnalism. He said the quality
Of a paper and the character and
standing of the people who read it
are factors Of far more importance
than the question of how many
papers are printed. 1t Is not so much
the number of papers that go out of
the press room which should be care
fully examined, as the fact where
those papers go and who are the peo-
pie who read them. Are they read
in the homes by every member of
the family? Are they read for in
formation aud instruction to berOme
the source of our knowledge Of CON
temporaneous life, or are they read
as one would handful to be in
stantly thrown away and forgotten?
These are pertinent questions for the
advertiser and properly solved will
demonstrate that advertising does
pay.

Cruelty to Animals.

this matter and among other provi-
sions it is an offense to wantonly or
cruelty i'll treat, overload, beat or
otherwise abuse any animal, or to
torture or MAIN any horse. The fine
may be $500 and Imprisonment for a

tioual movements. Action by Russia
and other European countries in
this direction might have little sig
nilicance in this country were it not
that It recalls the prediction of
Lyman J Gage, ex secretary OF the
treasury, that the time was not far
distant when, by combination of
interests, the European nations
would inaugurate tariff war
against the Urited States Under
the policy of protection, the United
States has attained point where il
produces all the necessaries of life
aud could live quite independently
of the other countries of the world,
so far as imports are concerned, but
so rapid has been the progress made
that foreign markets are essential to
the welfare of American manufac-
turers and producers and il is in
this light that the officials regard
the proposed movement with slight
apprehension. In voicing his opin-
ion, Mr.. Gage stated his belief that
the first move in this direction
would be taken by Great Britain
which would place a heavy tariff IN
American wheat The fear of tariff
discrimination by Europe has been
one Of the leading factors in the ag-
itatiou for the negotiation Of recip
rocity treaties with France, Russia,
Austria, and other countries of Eu-
rope and it is possible that th is
move on the part of the car may
lead to more serious consideration
of the reciprocal treaties which now
rest in the senate committee on for
eign relations. The anxiety ex-
pressed at the state and treasury de-
partments today recalls a remark
made to your correspondent early
this year. He said, apropos of the
KassoE treaties II regard it as es-
sential to the welfare Of the foreign
trade of the United States that these
or similar treaties be ratified by the
senate"

Handled a Snake.

Because Michael Eabes of Jersey
city has more recklessness than segse
he enjoyed a trip to the Port Jervis
hospital this week to be treated
for a rattle snake bite. Several men
up at Greeley Sunday were enjoying
themselves tantalizing a rattler which
they had in a barrel when Lobes to
show his courage seized the snake
with his hand to lift it out. The
snake quite properly resented this
familiarity and evidently thought it
was in better society when alone so
it took hold Of Lobes finger who
dropped it forthwith and sought
antidotes for his bite. If he lives it
is possible this experience may also
cure him OF a little foolhardiness.
