Times sets ont what on honest newspaper and, the Reporter subscribes to it all: Public newspapers have become so intimately interwoven with the progress of our civilization that they must be hoaest to command publie respect, They are the great educators of the people; they expose hypocrisy and crime ; they are the accepted champions of public and business integrity, they are largely the guardians of the purity of society, of politics, of public morals, and they mast be thoroughly honest] to be equipped for this responsible mission The honeet newspaper criticises public wrongs in political power with equal fidelity, whether committed by friend or foe, and it defends its cause only by giving the whole truth to its readers. The time was when the blind party organ was the political teacher of the age but that period has passed away forever The honest newspaper must be honest alike in its convictions, its teachings and its business, It must be honest in its appeals f'r patronage as well as honest in its appeals for honesty in the public and private circles which it criticises. It must be honest in its circulation ; honest with its advertisers , honest with all who have business relations with it, - The King of Siam is a magnificent ob- ject in State attire.

There is a paper mill, for instance, in Fort Edward, which is run day and night. Half the girls go on at 7 in the morning and work till noon. Then the other half go on and work till 7 P. M. at which time the girls who worked all the morning come on again and work till mid- night. Then the afterncon girls take up the burden again and keep it up until 7 A.M. The work is very exhaustiog—tihe taking from the rolls of heavy sheets of manila paper, conating and disposing of them, Itinvolves constant activity and watchfulness and imposes a severe strain on muscles and nerves, For the 10 hours during which it continues the working girl geta 62 cents.

Unless the snowstorm which has been raging for eight days comes to an end goon, next summer will show a country covered with dead dod es of animals as thickly as was the old Santas Fe trail in the sixties, The depth of snow is now not leas than 26 inches on a level. and in many places it has drifted 7 feet bigh. When the storm struck this section seven large herds of cattle, numbering from 400 to 2,000, were being held near this place awaiting shipment to Eastern markets, The rain was followed Thursday morning by blizzards of snow and sleet which sent the herds in a south. erly direction, of a week ago In vain did the already half~frozen cow-boys try to check the march of the herds, bat on they went] through the increasing storm until find- hold the tle, the cow-boys rodejaside and let ing it cnt utterly impossible to them pass, and when nearly dead rode] the exhausted horses into canyons orl partially sheltered places. | Two cow-boys drifted into a canyon, | where they found a cedar tree with a rat's) i nest in it, They managed to light a fire with this.

We never knew the result of any election in thie county give greater gen- eral satisfaction, It was a victory in which the better portion of Republicans joined with the Democrats to show their disapproval of misrule in our county af- fairs, The scandals connected with sherifl’s office und the gross mismanage- ment in the commissioners’ office, have cansed the honest indignation of the ont. raged tax payers of ail parties The candidates on the ticket have been elected by the Democratic overwhelm ing majorities, and hundreds of Republi. cans cast their ballots in that That was right, and as long as the direction, Dem ocracy presents good men who will ad minister ths affairs of our county honest. ly, 80 long do we hope these Republis cans will vote with nes, and whenever the Democrats so far forget themselves as to be untroe to their trast and pledges then let the victory go the other way.

An appeal has been taken from the United States Cirenit Court to the Supreme Court of the United States in what Is known as the “Arsenal Island case.” The island formerly lay in the Mississippi river on the Missouri gide of the channel, immediately in front of the corporate. limits of St, Louis, and belonge 1 to that municipality. In the course of time, under the friction of the river, it disappeared, and simulta. neously a body of land sccumulated on the river front on the other side of the river on land in St Clair county, I. belonging to Edward Root, exsState Treasurer, and he claimed these lands as a natural accretion. The city of St. Louis also claimed them as the veritable Arsenal Island which it had lost, alleging that the island had floated away bodily aud lodged against Root's farm. The city pnt on a tenant to hold the lands and Root brought an action to eject him. The Court here held that the disputed grounds had formed against Roots river front by nataral accretion and therefore belonged to him. The land in dispute is valoed at about $35,000, There is Ia go legal interest in the case, on soconnt of the novel pro position it involves respecting riparian owners on the Mississippi river, «If Rheriff Oook is prosecuted for 1ak- ig lvgal fees, which would resnlt ju his bel g removed trom office, Coroner Neff wou'd become the acting sheriff, would add to these remarks by the Patriot, that there is always a littie treachery lying around in disguise which can readily be seen by its actions and associations, Treachry has ever armed itself with good promises. A London lawyer, Henry Fletcher Vallance, bas just been disbarred for tell. ing a client to what country he could safely escape owing to the absence of an extradition treaty covering his particular crime, There was no qusetion of the man’s guilt or of the lawyer's knowledge of it, and the latter aided the escape solely by his advice, which he claimed was given to enable the man to escape civil suits. But Mr. Justice Manisty, in an indignant order striking his name off the list of incorporated lawyers, takes the sound ground that as an officer of the court a lawyer had no professional right to aid ¥ criminal to escape trial, although he conld legitimately defend him when he was put on trial, There is no famine in Dakota.

It has been suggested that, now since the little emperor of Germany is on his travels, he might with profit extend them to the United States. Undoubtedly the little emperor of Germany would see the United States sunk into Symmes’ holo before he would do it. There never has been a king, emperor, czar or shah from the Old World on a visit to our republic. Louis Philippe staid here a little while when he was an exile, but never when he was a monarch.
