Debate will doubt less In lug out a number of details re quiring modification. The McKlnley bill had this experience' and In places differed mateiially at passage trom Us Initial foim. 12ut the geneial princi ple was not chnnged. nor do we believe that the prebont congiess will depait far fiom the guiding lines laid down new measure which the sponsors of the dlbcredlted AVIlb'on tarllf feel so fiee to criticize. It will aim at inci eased levenue, but It will not foiget that quite as Impoitant as levenue for the government's expenses is piotectlon to tin. country's enter pi Ne and labor. It Is tiue that Mime low tailff Demo crats oted tor McKlnley for piesldent in pieteienco to liiyan and ftee Ml ver, but that fact does not (.antel the St. I.ouls plntform, which declines the policy ot piotectlon to bo "the bul wail; of Ameilcan Industiial Independ ence and the foundation of Ameilcan development and piospeilty." And now It is said the nwnr of the Xow Yoik World, Mr. Pulitzer, has employed a censor, to exclude ai tides and cuts too fat over the bolder line of decency. The World needs one. The Press and the Prize Ring. Conslduiable ado has been made be cause of the fact that the Philadelphia I-edger, on the mottling after the big ptlsio light lit Caibon City, letustd to Mint one woid about It In seveial pulpits the IedgeiS ouie has not only been appioed witli much waiinth of eulogy but Invidious coinoaihons have been diawn to the liuit of other newspapers which lack the Ledgers llim business footing and theiefoio have, in the main, to pilnt such news as the public wants. Wu note with Intel est, howovet, that theio Is one clergyman in Philadelphia who takes a moie rational view of this subject. Pleaching on Sundaj to the congiegatlon of the Olivet Uaptist chuich, Uev. 15. F. Llepsnei said: "Many condemn the nevvapupois for their extended leports of the 'gieat light,' but wo must bear in mind that the newspapers simply glw the people what the people demand. The people, not the nowspapeis, aie to blame. As a matter of business, the public mess gives the public what the public de bltes, und for which It will pay. News papers aie a mil i or of what we aie und love, and fiom what we have seen of out helves thus ledected In the last few days It is evident that wo must depose woildllness and ie-enthione Christian decency before wo can ex pect Clod to ghe us better and moie . piospeious times " The Philadelphia Ledger may be able to eliminate fiom its columns all le poits of indecency and ctlniii without loss of business patronage, but it is about the only dally publication In the United States which can nffoid the ex periment.

The Perversion of Journalism, An Intel cstlnir symposium has been galheied by the New Yoili Commer cial Adveitlser among the piesldents of our leading colleges upon the Mlb Jecl, The Peneislon of Journalism mid Its Cute. It bhows that the foremost eduratois of Amoilca aie ullve to the evils of Indecency In pi hit anil have, in the main, a couect idea us to the piopcr lemedy. Piesldent Seluirman of Cornell ob jects pilnclpully to faulty methods of lopoitlng news. He notices iimong niiiny Ameilcan journals thiee pie doiiiliiant faults! "Flist, they do not upon actual facts, but uivu up In stead bensatlonal stoiles; i-econdly, they do not distinguish suillclently be tween events which aie Impoitant and events which aie uiilmpottant, and tlilully, they evince an Inci easing pie dllecllon lor sensationalism, lubilclty und the guttei " The cute, he tlilnks, Is to appeal to the edltots' conscience und at the same time boycott publica tions which letuse to be decent. Piesldent Canlleld of the Ohio state unlveislty Is especially outspoken. He sa.vs' "With its caielessness in inves tigation und Its sensationalism In methods of stating alleged ieults, with Its filghtful dlsiegaid of all that Is due to the pilvnej of the household, and Its detei initiation to teed to the morbidly Inquisitive lepoits, whether tine or false, that aie no poitlon of hlstoiy and have no beailng upon pub lic life or public motals, with Its heait less cai toons, and Its luckless exttava gance of statements, the so-called 'new jouinallsm' lacks, couitesy, consldeia tlon, thoughtfulness, trutlitulness, gen et osity, sincerity, lultlness of put pose. cleuiness of vision, cleanliness of thought, healthfulness of lite, and all other chaiucteilsttcs of modem civili sation. Legislation against it can do little oi nothing, unlc-s backed by a lobust and Indignant public sentiment. When such sentiment conies legisla tion will not be needed to send back Into duikness the bats and vamphes that dlsgiace Hint pot Hon of the pi ess now given over to such methods." Piesldent Whitman, of Columbian unlveislty, fears that "nothing will cine the new jouinallsm but the giace of Clod" and Hi other Politician, the pies ldent of St. John's college, thinks that If It is let alone long enough It will eventually stink itself to death. Pei haps the most sensible and pointed le ply of all is that of Albeit A. Wilght, clialinian of the faculty of Obeilln col lege. He sas: "I lejoice that the time beems lipe for a vigoious and con ceited public piotest ngalnbt the deluge ot filth which ceitaln Journals aie pouilng out upon the countiy Allow ing all that may be justly uiged in favor of the exposuie of evils oi a cuie foi those evils thole is no excuse for the dlstoitlon of facts, lor gloating ovei w IckednesH and w retchedness, oV tor conscienceless-comments upon pub lic aftalis from the standpoint of a sensationalist, as If theie weie nothing stable upon which good might be built. Kducatois, mlnlsteis, paients and eveiv one who possesses any moial In fluence should Join In the piotest and lollow It up with the banishment of such Journals trom public and pilvate places. Nothing but public sentiment can deal with the evil." It looks us If such a piotest weie coining. with the ndmlnlsttutlon.

Geneial piotest is arising In the ptess at the continuation e)f congiess b the appi epilation tor government seeds fot fiee popular dlstiibution. When the government Hist went Into this busi ness, It gave the excuse that by lea bon of supeiloi lacllltles, it could de velop a supeiloi quality of seeds and might theieloio confer a derided bene fit on, ugilcultuie Hut It Is not In evi dence that the seeds lalsed under the dliectlon of the Halted States depart ment of ugilcultuie aie In any ie spects better than the seeds lalsed for i-'nle by pilvate enteipiise, and the fact that the one kind aie given away simply opeiates to the disadvantage ol the otheis. The member of congress who Is en titled by law to distribute fiee seeds among his constituents nntuiully avails himself ot this pilvilege so long as It lasts; but few of the bettor In f 01 mud members legaid it as any proper putt of the government's, busi ness to give seeds away. On the bame principle the government might just as logically give away niibcelluneous books and food and clothing or usuip any other foim of legitimate pilvate entetpilso. We agree fully with the opinion that this fiee seed pilvilege ought to be canceled and the money now bppnt on it either be baved or put to a use moie cleaily In the scope of the government's pioper functions. The piesent congiess could not do a more appi opt late thing than to take Uncle Sain out of the seed business. the p.esldent's signature bv the llibt ot July 01 possibly latot.

Representative Handy, of Delaware, made his maiden speech In the house on Friday last The occasion was on the ap pi optlutlon bl'ls He Is a fair speakei and made a good Impie3sion on the Dcmo cidtlo side of the house He suoke In behalf of the new members. He thought that It wub not Just the piopei thing for this congiess to pass In a few minutes ap propriation bills carrying over a billion dollurs. "Wh, Mr Speaker,' he ex claimed, "I wonder If an legislative bodj In the hlstor of the woild ever voted such a sum of monej on such brief and lrmdequate discussion and consideration These bills have neve! been consldeied b a committee ot this house We have as vet no appropiiatlon committee to con slelei them Seventy-ltvo millions ol dol lars with one hundied und sixty minutes of discussion' Neaib $W,0OJ u minute!
