telliKeiice 111 unv community of like nilin
beis of tln world, and the only Kreat city
to be found on the continent that is ins
tinctively American In Its policy, how
sharp is the contrast between the civiliza
tion met by the Juniata Sentinel tlf I y
years uko and the civilizulinn that is met
by the Philadelphia Journalist or today?
Public wroiiKS ever appear like hum can
cers on the boily politic, and !! swarms
of the Idle ami vicious, wilh the studied
crimes of those who would acquire wealth
without euriilinr it, lire a constant menace
to the social order und the safety of per
son and property, and demand the utmost
vigilance on the part of the faithful public
Journal. Continued political power under
all parties Ik-coiiics corrupt and ilemoral
ixed, and It Is not uncommon for appar
ently reputable political leaders of all par
ties and organized crime to make com
mon cause Tor public plunder. The busi
ness 41111I social conditions arc also radi
cally ctutiiKed, and with these the fearless
journalist of toiluy must deal with cotinmu
and lldellty. Krom what was many yeurs
ago rcKarded, and with some reason, ns
the license of the public press, has Brown
up the wcll-dellued duty of reputable Jour
nalism to maintain with dignity und 11 1-111-liess
Its mission as public censor, and to
day In Philadelphia, as in nil the Iciidltm
centers of the country. American Journal
ism Is not onlv the Brent educator of the
people, but it Is the faithful handmaid of
luw und order and of public and private
morals. Kike all reat callings, front
which even the saerednesB of Hie pulpit
is not exempt, there lire those who brintt
persistent dishonor upon journalism, and
pervert its powers to ambition and (treed;
nut discounted bv all Its Imperfections, It
Is today the greatest of our Kreut factors
in mutntninltiK the best attributes of our
civilization ami preserving social order
and the majesty of law; and the duties of
the Journalist today In our Kreat cities
have reached n standard of dignity and
tnaKiilttnle of which even the wildest en
thusiasts of lifty years uuo could nut
have dreamed.
Such Is the revolution wroucht In Jour
nalism within a slnnl active life time.
The newspaper is no loti(?er a luxury. Krom
beiiiK eonllnetl to the few. as it was half
1 century hko. the dully newspaper Is now
In almost every homo In the Kreat slates
of the I'nlon, and the grave responsibility
of journalism may be appreciated when
it Is remembered that the newspaper today
Is the Kreut educator of the people who are
to maintain our free Institutions. Wide
ly us our schools have extended until
they are accessible to the humblest of the
land, the newspaper us an ediicutor reach
es vastly more people than all the colleges
nnd schools of the nation. It Is read not
only by the men and women of mature
years, but it beKlns Its otllces as teacher
in the home circle as soon as the child be
comes a pupil In the schools, and It Is
constantly although Imiterceptibly mould,
lug the minds of the millions or our youths
d all classes nnd all conditions, und It
has no vacations In Its Kreat work. It not
only aids the more IntelllKent to u sound
rxerclse of judgment on questions or pub
lic Interest, but It Is ever qulckenltiK tho
impulses und shaping the alms or those
who are moft easily Impressed and during
the Important period or lire when the
character of men and women is formed.
TRt'ST OK A NEWSPAPER.
I have Ioiik held that the responsible di
rection of a widely read and respected
dally newspaper Is the highest trust under
our free government. I do not thus speak
of It to claim for It honors which may be
questioned, but I speak of It to present
the oppressive responsibilities which rest
upon those who are today eilncatliiK a na
tion of iII.Iknuno or people, under a gov
ernment where every citizen Is a sover
eign, und where the people hold In their
own hands the destiny or the Kreatest re
public or the world. Presidents, cabinets,
senators and representatives come and
play their parts on the public stuKe und
pass away the few to be remembered, the
many to be forgotten und political parties
ate created and perish as new necessities
and new conditions arise In the progress
of our fre Institutions, in my own day
there have been created four new political
organizations which attained natlon il Im
portant, all of which have elected kov
ernors in Pennsylvania, ami two of which
have elected presidents of the I'nileij
States, but three of them exist today only
In history. They nre the Antl-.Masonlc,

parties which cull them to power, come

gardless of the success or defeat of men
of political organisations,
Te seek promotion in civil trust from
the editorial chair of an Influential news
paper. Is to sacrifice the grander opior
tunlty and responsibility for the uusatis
fyintc fame of official distinction. It Is the
mission of the newspaper to create presi
dents and others rulers; to Judge them
when in power; to sustain them when
they have been faithful and efficient in the
discharge of public duties, and to defeat
them when they are fornetrul of the pub
lic welfare. In the discharge of these im
portant duties the newspaper must, above
all, be free from tho suspicion of seeking
Individual advantage, und it can be so
only by accepting Its trust as highest of
all and more enduring than all. Orcnt
editors have been presumably honored by
conferring upon them high official posi
tions In recognition of party services, but
no editor In the entire history of American
Journalism who has made his newspaper
secondary to political ambition, has writ
ten any other rei-onl than failure us both
editor and statesman,
Dl'TIES OF AN EDITOR.
My brethren of the press need not be
reminded of the often painful duties which
come to the fearless editor.' They must
ever remember that "faithful ure the
wounds of a friend." nnd no class of teach
ers so well know that
Forgiveness to the Injured does bclonii
lint they ne'er pardon who have done
the wrong.
Few, very few. Indeed, outside of the edi
torial sanctum ever learn how the surges
of ambition, in all Its varied ami fantastic
phases from the noblest to the mesnest,
assail and often vex Journalistic duties.
The public know not of the many glft-n
men who must thus ut times be saved from
themselves, mid an editorial retrospect of
half 11 century presents a se.d record of
the newspaper work of making bricks
without straw. Justly excepting ihe com
paratively few public men who tower over
niediuci Ity In public place. Journalism
gives the position and fashions the fame
or most or them, it is not done arbitrarily
nor from choice, as public and political ne
cessities are often paramount with Jour
nalists, as with others. In awarding pub
lic honors; hut with all its exactions and
responsibilities, which ure ever magnliied
by the greater opportunities for useful
ness, there is no culling that brings rich
er compensation for fidelity to duty. Tile
consciousness that each day the editor
whose readers are numbered by hundreds
of thousand!i. may greatly aid In making
the world better than it was In the passing
yesterday, is u constant Inspiration to
the best efforts, and It Is especially grati
fying that even In the many nnd at times
impnssloueil conflicts of Journalistic dis
pute, the rugged and shiirp-iingleil walls
which divide us are ever so beautiful and
fragrant with the Dowers of gooil rellow.
ship, as Is Impressively taught by this
assembly.
Tims charged with the highest of civil
trusts In the most enlightened government
of the earth, the editor must be honored or
dishonored here by Ihe measure of his
Utility to his exceptional duties, nnd must
be so Judged In the hereafter, when the
narrow pathway or life that divides past
and future eternities has been traversed.
W'w come when bidden, we know not
whence; we go when bidden, we know
not whither, but each nnd all have duties
to themselves, to their homes, to their
country and to tho common brotherhood
of man. which, when performed with the
faithfulness that human Infirmities will
permit, must greatly brighten the brief
ami often fretful Journey from the cradl.
to the grave. Friends. In this evening twi
light of my Journalistic work, so sweetly
mellowed by the smiling faces, young and
old, about me, I answer your generous
greeting with tho gratitude that can per

have settled Into Ihe night that comes to
purpio tne better mom.

TIIK DIXULEY BILL.
Something of a political sensation
was produced by a motion made by
the l'opullst senutor from Nebraska,
Mr. Allen, to tuke up the Dlnglcy bill
for action, so ns, ho said, to preclude
the necessity for un extra session. At

minutes' rellection Mr. Aldrlch with
drew the objection, which wus there
upon renewed by Mr. Pulmer, of Illi

A very Interesting colloquy followed,
and was still in progress when the
morning hour expired. The matter
then went over without further action,
but may be taken up at any time that
a similar motion is made by any sena

unliulshed business, but no action was
taken upon it. and the senate ut 2. 3D p.
111. adjourned.
HOUSE SESSIONS.
The session of the house today was
conducted under the lnlluence of the
spirit of labor which marked the body
yesterday, and while It lasted less than
three hours, nine bills were considered
and two conference reports agreed to,
in addition to some other business.
Such industry at the opening of a ses
sion, even a short one. Is unprecedent
ed In the annals of congress.
The senate's Increase of the pension
granted to Mrs. Mury Gould Carr,
widow of General J. H. Carr. formerly
secretary of state of New York, from
to $75 a month was agreed to.
The usual resolution distributing the
topics of the president's message to the
appropriate committees was reported
from the ways and means committee
and agreed to.
At 2.55 o'clock the house adjourned.
The reference of the nomination of
David It. Francis, of Missouri, to be
secretary of the Interior to the commit
tee mi finance. In executive session to
day, caused some comment among
those not conversant with the rules of
the senate.
There is a belief that the nomination
of cabinet olllcers have always been
promptly conllrmed without such com
mittee reference, but this Is not correct
save In the case of a United States
senator.

of Sugar, was attain tame today the

devoid of Interest. There were spells of

of recognising Cuban Independence. The
traders, on the strength of the news, sold
stocks at Intervals, but they made very
little impression on prices, the tendem-y
of which In the main was upward. The
decisive movement of the duy occurred
shortly after 1 o'clock, when Sugar was
suddenly taken In hand and advanced
