Austria could not bear Kossuth's journalistic pen pleading for the redemption of Hun gary. Napoleon L., wanting to keep his iron heel on the neck of nations, sald that the newspaper was the regent of kings, and the only safe place to keep an editor was in prison. But the great battle for the freedom of the press was fought in the court rooms of England and the United States before this cen- tury began, when Hamilton made his great speech in behalf of the freedom of J. Peter Zenger's Gazette in Amerd ea, and when Erskine made his great speech in behalf of the freedom to publish Paine’s Rights of Man in En- gland. Those were the Marathon and the Thermopylae where the battle was fought which decided the freedom of the press in England and America, and all the powers of earth and hell will never again be able to put upon the printing press the handcuffs and the hopples of literary and politieal despotism, It is remarkable that ranny shackled There much and hates as the printing press come { ground up in unju ¥ : to | that is tainted | any | tainted meat | if the | the paper insipid. | shockingly dull to-night.” | is one of the the Dec wrote be NOWSR Thomas Jefferson, who wrote laration of Independence, these words: “If 1 tween a government pers, and newspapers without a govern ment, I would prefer the latter.” by some new fabr in print, ¢ write ik abot an ** bridled printing press.” Our ney st eriticis wlso had to choose without stung ication We to Or Sid m, about the rhaps throug! write or printing press utterand the own indistinct reported ns “hiundering We YUP OB new scandal and of all rilous printing pre ut this morn ing I ask ble good news you to co immeas urea and There ar pers +1 oth f we upon he SNIpwWreck of the ne rod May mmke holding grace temporal and ¢ Ane ther WADE Der for seased renee Ye ving such appet te w blame the prom 1 » you would if the If 1 go ign city, to murders and scandals nee suppose that so many papers prominence i wople did not d peoy give y these things emand them? meat market of a fore and I find that the on the conspic into the butchers hang up uous hooks meat that without most while the meat is away to the conclu sion that the pe of that love You know very well that in newspaper, fresh and savory is . put OPE BDeCIBl CA ome city great country got hold of a mass of pe ple and { there are in it no runaway matches, no broken-up families, no defamation of men in high position, they pronounce They say. “It is I believe it trinls of the newspaper press that the people of this country demand moral slush instead of healthy and intellectual food. Now, you are sn respectable man, an intelligent man, and a paper comes into your hand. You open it, and there are threq columns of splendidly written editorial, recommending some moral sentiment, or evolving some sel entific theory, In the next column there is a miserable, contemptible di- voree ease. Which do you read first? You dip into the editorial long enough to say, ‘Well, that's very ably writ ten,” and you read the divorce case from the “long primer” type at the top to the “nonpariel” type at the bottom, und then you ask your wife if she has read it!

An aged woman making her living by knitting unwound the yarn from the ball until she found in the center of the ball there was an old piece of paper. She opened it and read an advertisement which anaounced that she had become heiress to a large property, and that fragment of a newspaper lifted her up from pauperism to affluence. And I do not know but as the thread of time un- rolls and unwinds a little further, through the silent yet speaking news paper may be found the vast inherit ance of the world's redemption.
