NEWSPAPERS NOT INFALLIBLE.

On this subject the New York World
well says:
"Wilful inaccuracy and untruthful-
ness are the most common lndlct-
ments against newspapers. ana YET IN
the case of The reputable press Inc
charge cannot be sustained. News
papers deal hurriedly with history in
The making. Every library contains
carefully prepared volumes which
have more disputed passages than can
he found i'm the average newspaper.
Newspapers often receive statements
of alleged fact from persons who are
misiufOrmed or ignorant or who may
be presumptuous or malicious. rev
people see things alike. Fewer stlll
can describe things alike. Those
whose memories agree are even more
rare. Yet in spite OF these conditions
and the limitations of their own repre-
sentatives, newspapers usually ap-
proximate the truth. Their errors are
i'm black and white and cannot be con-
cealed; if their circulation be large
there are hundreds of thousands oil

Yes, the newspapers come sur
prisingly near crossing is and dotting
is, and though the work on them Is
necessarily hurried, it is done with
marvellous accuracy. And then, when
mistakes are made, how quick they
are to correct them. Nothing in
them, as the captious, hypercrtica
reader is heard often to say, but the
paper miscarries and what a howl
There is a world of unselfish and un-
rewarded work done on the newspa

posed to the glare of open day. Think
of the newspaper workers, especial!

tie more kindly, and deal with them
little more gently.

IMPORTING MEAT.

There are such vast areas of grazing
land in the United States that the
mere suggestion of importing meat
seems absurd But there is an an
nouncement, apparently in good faith,
of the immediate establishment of a
line Of large steamers to bring dressed
meats here from Argentina. 1t is
claimed, and very reasonably, that
meat can pay the import duties and
still be sold much below the prices
fixed 10y the combination Of Chicago

And when the people Of this coun-
try are hungry for meat and ut
terly unable to meet present prices,
why this import duty at all ;

against this and kindred outrages, the
