though such a thing is inconceivable.
The big newspapers In New York or Chi
caso. or y, other large cities, may cons
bine for purposes OF economy and may
conduct their business affairs along The
lines OF cooperation, or "co1,inunity: Of
Interest,"" as It is called Just as various
competing industries were brought to-

the United States Steel Corporation. But

the United States Steel Corporation and
other such corporations are conducted
with a View to giving the bost article at
the lowest price. The men who manage
these immense corporations understand
well enough that III dealing with tho gen
eral public they must make their goods
popular. That is the only hope, and that
is what keeps big corporations on their
good behavior. They cannot defy the
public, because the public are their Gus
toners. ~
OF course. there will be newspa pers here
and there with a leaning toward trusts,
and they will try to get In their work,
but such papers will not gain the popular
ear, because they will not circulate
among the people generally. The news
paper that hopes to succeed as q business
proposition and that hopes to have inlu-
ence with the people must be conducted
upon very broad principles, upon the
principle OF right ana Justice and fair
ness, and must DO absolutely unsclhsh
in its advocacy Of public measures. It
must, first OF all, give all the news and
both sides of tho news. fully and fairly,
and in the discussion OF public questions
1t must lay all selfish considerations
aside and be honest. There is no fear
that the great newspapers Of this free
land will become the organs Of trusts. so
long. at least as the people Of the United
States maintain their character and their
Independence.

Inc treCerlcKSDWrS star says:
We are glad to note that the Richmond
Times-Dispatch has seen fit to inquire
why Mr.. Pollock was turned down in the
Senate the other day. When a man Is not
confirmed for pubic office. it Is always
understood that he failed to come UP to
the moral or intellectual standard re-
qulred for che place to which he was
appointed, but in this case we are in
formed that lack Of senate rlal courtesy
was tho cause of his defeat. 5
1t seems that Mr.. Pollock was persona
non grata with Senator St. Clair. and
that notwithstanding that fact the State
Board OF Education. after careful consid-
GRAFTON, unanimously snlectoa lLm for tho
position.
Tho whole thing In a nutshell is just
about this: Senator st. Clair advoca ted
another person for the place, and when
the Board Of Education differed with him,
he took the case to his brother Senators
on the ground of senatorial courtesy and
succeeded in overthrowirig the action Of
the Board Of Education The real Issue
in tho case, then is, which shall have
the right OF way, fitness for Office or
senatorial courtesy?
We deeply regret that politics have
again doomed up on the educational horl-
! zon. We had hoped that the people of
this State had heard and seon thE last OF
| petty politics In public school matters.
Senator ST. Clair says that his reason
for Directing to the confirmation Of Mr.
Pollock was that the Board OF Education
treated him dlscourteously and deceived
him. That Is matter between gentle.
men and should be settled out OF court
But Mr.. Pollock should not be made to
suffer for any personal misunderstanding

It has been seriously suggested by the

OPENING PARLIAMENT.

The ceremony Of opening the British
Parliament is still kept up in august
style. Queen Victoria, by reason Of adj
yanced age, allowed the custom to fall
somewhat into innocuous desuetude, but
she must be excused, for there was no
king to sit by her side. Albert was mere
~ Prince Consort, good man and hus-
bard. but an outsider so far as the throne
was concerned. But in these days our
friends across the water have a crowned
king and crowned queen to come to West
minister on occasons--as yesterday.
Before the arrival OF the royal party
in recollection Of Guy Fawkes, we sup
pose-certain stout and we'll paid officials
went through the mummery OF examining
the building to ascertain If any dyha-
p1iters or other murderers or assasstns
were lurking in any dark corner or cav
crnous recess. No such evil disposed per-
son having been discovered the two royal
hiehnesses entered the Parliament House,
assured Of safety and with due pomp.
We hope good Queen Alexandra enjoys
that sort of pageantry; she would hardly
he true woman II she didn't. Doubtless
1t affords her some compensation for the
misery her lord made her endure in the
time past when he was gayer than he now
Is.
The Kings speech from the throne
yesterday was unlmportant. Mention was
made of the reference of the Venezuelan
controversy to Tho Hague tribunal. Com
pla int was uttered that tho European
provinces Of Turkey give cause for Sc
rious anxiety. Tho King has remonstrat-
ed with the Sultan, but it was not stated
that that tyrant gave him any assurances
of the needed reform. The progress Of
events in South Africa and in India was
noted also, and in cold bio oded official
way.
In short. the King had nothing newsy
to tell, and he told it WELL thereby high
~ gratifying his noble lords and faithful
ccrnmoners.
Their highnesses when before Parlia-
ment and going from and returning to
