A STRENUOUS JUMP.

A curious example Of the tendency
to jump from insufficient data to err
roneous conclusions Is presented by G.
communication to the New York Sun,
In which It Is set forth that in small
town in New Jersey refined petroleum
is sold at 8 cents per gallon. Whence
the writer triumphantly inquiries
whether. II the Standard Oil Company
were split up into three.score compel.
itors, the price would be so cheap.
This logic Is the discovery Of
single place where the commodity Is
sold at an extraordinarily low price,
and the claim Is evidently intended
that, the cheapness is to be set down
to the credit of the Standard. But II
that is SO, what must be said Of the
case OF the 90,O0O,OOO population in
other places, also supplied by the
Standard, who have to pay Is to 20
cents per gallon according to circum
stances in each locality. 4
or course, every one with knowledge
OF the oil trade knows that II the
Standard has anything to do with the
unusual cheapness OF oil in this par
ticular spot. 1t is due to the fact that
some local dealer has had the hardi
hood to buy petroleum from an indie
pendent refiner and the Standard
agents are disciplining him for his
temerity. OIL is not sold at that price
anywhere unless there is competition
to be frozen out.-Pittsburg Dispatch

THE MAN AT THE HELM.

Some newspapers are run by the
man that runs the paper; others are
run by the men that run the man that
runs the paper.-Arkansawyer.
The only newspaper that is worthy
of the confidence of it's readers the
says. the only one that has a fixed
and definite policy and the only one
that can be depended upon to advocate
the interests of the people at all times
and under all circumstances is the
one that is run "by the man that runs
the paper" The ones that are run
by the men who run the man that runs
the paper" are mere jumping jacks
that perform when their bosses pull
the string. For a newspaper TO be
run by the man that runs the paper"
his own opinions. the ability to eX-
press them and the courage to do so,
when necessary, in the face of oppo-
sition, whether of friends or foes.
The newspaper man who is swerved
! from the right by either the patron
age of friends or the threats of foes
is not true to his profession. There
| are certain ethical principles that ev-
cry newspaper editor must observe in
order to be true to himself and his
constituency, in order to maintain his
self-respect and that of the commun-
! ity he serves, chief among which is
independence of character To be in.
! dependent does not imply that the ed,
itor should be naughty, oyerbearing
dictatorial or captious, but that ht
should be dignified, firm and immov
able when a question of right and con
science is at stake, When a newspa

a promise OF reward, financial or 9th
erwise, in the expression of an opin
