MISTAKES OF EDITORS.

1t is said to be an ineXcuSable
outrage for a newspaper editor
to make the slightest mistake in
a statement of any sort, while
professional persons, upon whose
certainty of knowledge and on
whose statement in regard there
to, life and death or the most i'm
portant interests depend. make
the most serious errors without
ilteurring the slightest criticism,
much less blame. Take the
Judge on the bench. whose dcciS
ions are set aside and annullpd
by higher courts almost every
day, and the Judge whose judy
ment is so reversed does not
suffer in the least in public and
professional estimation.
In the same way the physician
who makes a wrong diagnosis OF
his patients disease, administers
treatment that results in death
instead of a cure. loses none of
the confidence of his patrons in
his skill. and he may kill any
number of persons secundum
artem without incurring the
slightest responsibility.
These are curious facts, says
the New Orleans Picayune, but
they are mentioned, not by way
of eXcuSing editorial mistakes,
for there is no excuse for them.
1t is because every individual
firmly believes that he could con
duct newspapers better than
those who are charged with the
work, while no unprofessiOnal
person would undertake to usurp
functions Of the Judge or the ply
Sician.

 plan for this work had been approved
 and s350,000 has been appropriated to
 make the necessary changes.
 To Remove Corridor.
 The remodeled chamber in which the house will sit when the changes
 are made will be a rectangular hall similar in form to the existing cham
 Der, but of smaller dimensions. The long dimension of the hall will be east
 and west as at present. The approved plan moves the hall to the south by
 eliminating the corridor back of the speakers desk, and 1t will also in crease the cloak room space.
 It is the intention to arrange the seats in rows, as in the present house. The proposed seating of the new house does not contemplate a system of benches, but consists of a system If individual chairs coupled together. The spacing allowed will permit of writing space in front of each seat in | the form of a continuous ledge se- cured to the back of the rows of seats. | The present desks will be removed.
