THE PASSING OF THE PARTY
ORGAN

ORGAN.
There is no more reason for news
paper to be the organ or mouthpiece Of
either party than there is for it 20 stand
in that relation to a religious sect. In
deed. in the field Of religion, Itself, the
strictly denominatonsl organ is giving
way to the ethical and theological
weekly, and is doing so with good re-
suits to the kingdom of God in the
world. AS denomina tons OF sect get
on without government favor, so are
, they finding that they can get on
without journalistic organship. And
whether political parties have made the
discovery that they can get on without
partisan organs or not, self-sustaining
and self-respecting newspapers have
found out that they can get on well
without subservience TO political organ
izations. 1t must be that this increased
temperance, candor, cultivation and
justice in journalism are representative
of an improved tone of public opinion,
of reduction Of political asperity, of
a discovery Of the futility Of partisan
rancor, and Of the conviction that
politics is not incompatible with de-
cency.
Even contemporary organs" at their
worst are far leSss imbecile or brutal
than they were 10, 20 and 80 years ago.
Even they are now less Of caricature
upon candor and civilization than they
were in the still recent past. Their i'm
proyement has not prevented their i'm
proverishment, for penury is insepara-
bly, with organship of any degree or
grade, in politics. When the organs
party loses" it has little to give to the
organ. When it wins" it prefers to
best0W what it has to give upon some
thing less yapid or less vulgar or less
vile. In that is the warrantable hope
that organship will eventually discover
its identity with idiocy and it's inevita-
bility of loss. Such a discovery should
create in it a purpose to rise to the
higher and better estate of journalistic
Independence. In no finer way could
the uses of adversely be sweetened to it.
The general journalism Of the United
States was never better than it is now,
and its conduct in the late campaign
was distinctly commendable. Even the
"yelloWs,'' of which the number re-
mains desirably small, were less
brazen, boastful and demagogic than
they have been. They did not stimu-
late one another to the unreasonable
deviltry of the past. They assumed a
virtue of restraint, and we hope, they
not only assumed it, but had it, Their
ethical note was less pretense than
formerly. The something finer in them
may have been feigned, but we trust
that they will find it so pleasant that
they will keep it up, until it shall be-
come a habit or a rule, so that they
may really be able to rest their claim
to character or to influence on a more
substantial basis than their own as
sertion of it-Brooklyn Eagle
