TWICE-TOLD TESTIMONY.

For the Public Good.

A n independent and ably edited news
paper which commands great circula-
ton is probably the most potent inhu-
ence for good in the United States to-
day. The power for the better things in
public affairs and policies, for instance,
which is welded 10y such a newspaper
as the Chicago Record Herald can
scarcely be exaggerated, and much of
that strength comes in the case of this
leading Chicago daily from the fact that
it is absolutely independent, fearless
and fair. 1t is not the mouthpiece of
any interest except that of the public.
The Record-Herald champions the
cause of the good, the clean, the bene-
fetal in every matter of city, state or
national moment. IL is the knowledge
on the part Of its readers that it cares
not whom it hits or what enemies il
makes, so long as it is battling for the
welfare of the community which gives
to The Record Herald much Of the in
fluence it enjoys. 1t gives in its news
columns the most complete aud impair
tial reports of political events, another
evidence OF its splendid news service.

night to 4 a. M. had failed 10 note the
presence OF several canoes on the Ink
