NOT A NEWSPAPER BUSINESS.

Burlington Hawk Eye.-The Lone
Tree Reporter gives expression to the
following very sensible views:
1T is not q newspapers business to
air every piece of scandal or family
trouble that happens in Its territory.
Neither should the editor be classed as
a coward for failure to do so. On the
other hand he displays good horse
What do you think of the man or wo-
man who chases all over town talking
about their neighbor's troubles and all
disgraceful conditions that arise? The
prudent country editor will not permit
his paper to become the distributing
agent for scandal no more than the
citizen will parade as
a common gossiper"
No right thinking person will deny
the logic of the above. The best class
of newspapers are guided by just such
a high minded policy, and they own
their success to 1t.

tribute to Russian friendship to the
north during the civil war. No doubt

bargain. and so did Secretary Seward.

Philadelphia Ledger.-The busi-

parently differ from their brethren
of Philadelphia respecting the duties of
citizenship. In the recent municipal
campaign they took a very active part,
nominated. worked for and elected one
of their own number mayor. He was

citizens 100 cents value. He will not

NIT his subordinates to do so, any

SMALL pAY FoR STATESMEN.

Boston Globe.-The United States Is
the richest democracy and yet we pay
our leading statesmen smaller salaries
than any great nation in the world.
We get our whole outfit in the execu-

about one fifteenth Of the sum paid by

THE POWER OF SILENCE.

Ringgold Record.-silence is the
voice of thought. God deals in silence.
The world turns in silence and in re-
ality, the spheres give forth no music.
Great men have been noted for their
ability to keep silent. The greatest
German hero kept silence in seven
languages. Moses, William of
Orange, Cromwell and Grant were all
noted for their reticence Thoughts
left their brains only when 1t had
something to do. Could these men
have managed the modern interview
err? At all events they never needed to
make statements and explanations.
When they spoke they were ready to
speak and they spoke right. They did
not need to speak a second time.

Ottumwa and selected their delegates
to the various conventions. They gave
Senator Waterman a hearty endorse
ment for one of the delegates to the

republican, and the interests of repub-
licanism will be safe in his hands.

New York Evening Post.-The story

military strategy such as We believe

extraordinary combination Of sheer in
telligence and daring In Its executants.

pedoes had to be plotted by distant
triangulation, unarmored ship at night
