Tho hoiithun raga agiiint't the nowRpa por for almost nil conceivable; reasons and no reasons boranso thry don't like to bo publinhod into notoriety, ltocfttine they don't wish to have others learn cer tain things about themselves, beeanse their friends luxve been nnpleasantly no ticed, l)ecanso the iaper has pnblished what they did not wiali it to publish, and because it has not published that which they asked it to print. Almost always because of some point which af fects their own self Interest or seMbdi nens do the heathen rago; and hero and there is one who ragea on "general prin ciples" and utters his flat abolwhing the whole institution, taking pains, next day, to secure extra copies containing bis anathema for himself and Ids friends. It is safe to state that there is not a sin gle issue of a newspaper In print which does not contain somothing somewhere at which some heathen rage in spirit. But putting aside all these causes for displeasure on the part at tho heathen, let me state one particular circumstance, and this is really the chief reason why the heathen rage so much and so unrea sonably at tho daily press. The cirenm stance is this: Tho fault finder, tho car per, tho- would be censor of tho prof, very rarely asks himself these questions: "Is this right? "Is it Jnst?', "Is it a fair statement?" He never seeing to recol lect that in reputable journalism the first law, the guiding rule of an honora blo editor is the simple ono of sound sense and exact justice; and it is because they do not consider this point that the heathen rago so much more than is nec essary, and often make asses of them selves when they might poo as wise counselors. In fine, then, the heathen rage lieonuse , they cannot see that in reputablo jonnmlism justice and com mon sense rnlo tho editor; not malice, spite and prejudice Iteuiemlier this: Wrongdoers nro more fearful of the press tluin of law, justice so called, or punishment. You can hire a lawyer; buy a jury; judges never toll titles out of court; doctors keep their own counsel, and scandal by word of month travels but a brief space; but the press cannot bo frightened, bought, or forced into silence. Big sinners and they are the liardest to catch fear tho exposures of tho press more than they dread the pangs of the law or the pricks of con science. Don't growl if your paper today doesn't suit you. Yon are getting for a couple of cents that which cost much more than yon paid for it, and the ad vertiser, whom you scorn, is paying for your reading matter. This is a fact. F. W. Pangborn in National Journalist. Plumb Believe tn Local Newspapers. Senator Plumb, of Kansas, subscribes for every paper pnblished in thut state. He also takes all the leading New York papers, several from Chicago, one from Philadelphia and other large cities. In speaking of newspapers the senator says: I believe in the local newspapers. They are the leaders, the makers of pub lic sentiment. They are nearer to the people than any other papers. Their editors mingle with the people, and con sciously or unconsciously reflect the views of their readers. By my private letters from all parts of the state, and by reading tho local pa pers, I can tell just what the people of Kansas are thinking and talking about I can feel the pulse of the peoplo and take their temperature. I am amazed, too, at the excellence of our county papers. Tho majority of them are care fully and ably edited. They not only print the news of their neighborhood, but havo opinions which I find it worth my while to read and reflect upon. I get no better return for any of the money which I spend than for that which I pay out for the local newspa pers of my state. Everybody Is Interested iu It. No paper can be published without home patronage, and every man is inter ested in keeping up a home puper. If a railroad or factory is wanted, the news paper is expected to work for it. If a public meeting is wanted for any pur pose, the newspaper is called upon for a free notice. If any of the societies have a supper or reception of any kind, the newspaper is expected to give tho neces sary notice. The newspaper must puff the schools and everything else to ad vance the interests of the business men of the place, and then give them a hand some notice when they pass away. And yet some of them do nothing to keep np a home paper. Gladstone (Mich.) Ex press. Pay the Printer Promptly. Persons who patronize papers should pay promptly, for the pecuuiary pros pects of the press have a peculiar power in pushing forward public prosperity. If the printer is paid promptly, and his pocketbook kept plethoric by prompt pay ing patrons, ho puts his pen to his paper in peace.his paragrnphsare more pointed; be paints his pictures of passing events in more pleasing colors, and the perusal of his paper is a pleasure to the people. Please paste this piece of proverbial philosophy in some place where all per sons can perceive it Exchange. Does Your Puper Come Regularly? Should any of our subscribers fail to get their paper regularly they will please notify us by postal card, and as far as lies in our power we will cheerfully sup ply all missing numbers. Occasionally papers get lost in the mails, and without investigating the matter the subscriber jumps to the conclusion that his paper was withheld by the publisher. Make your complaints direct to us and we will see that you get the paper regularly. . Tbo Groat Safeguard. There is no safeguard like a newspa per. Nothing can do more to keep np town and help business. The town that supports a good local paper is the town that is successful and growing, and the newspaper that keeps np with and tittle in advance of the town's growth is the one that will live long and prosper.
