DAILI ENQUIUE1 i.Sl'N, COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, TUESDAY .MORNING, APRIL 20,1886 FUNCTION OF THE PRESS Mt J'oOid tlilnki :u» I' *i'e •!<»«« lie B'.lni) o« Krwjpjpef ik Demand*. New York Tims*. The meuibeie of the Nineteenth Century club cured nothing lot the elements lastevening. Although ai t.ie hour when most of them were ■irepp-riug to go to the American Art association rooms in Eist Twenty* third street, a storm of rain and hall ■v.v* pouring down, with resistless enthusiasm the carriages of the mem* tiers rolled up to the doors in long : 4 rray and crowds of ladies sad gen* tit-men In evening dress ollmbed pa tiently up two long fl g.. s of stairs, threw’oil their outer wraps, and then tiihd up another ti gut to heat men talk with the authority o! experience on ‘Tne Piet-s.” The discussion did not begin strictly on time, and the members c f the dub whiled away a half hour In studying the works of the F.e-cn impressionists as well,as they could without a guide. The principal speaker of the even* ing was the Rev Charles H Eaton, pastor of the Church of the. Divine .Paternity, Fifth avenue and For'y* fifth street. He began by saylDg that he did not intend to set himself up as a crit.o tf the press, though he re* garded it re open to criticism from ite readers. Journalists frequently said : "Can you Bet type? Can you write a leader? If not, keep your hands iff ” Ho did not regard it as necess swry that a man should be able to do the things mentioned in order to fairly critic e? the work of the press. The pulpit was critseised, and the speaker thought rightly by the news- papers. He did not think it was necetsary ibataa editor should know the difference between a sermon testa usd find a tennon texiuai analy'icai in order to coaioient wisely on pulpit thought. Neither did he need to be a lawyer in order to make atric.uree upon the conduct of ibe courts of J j «• tice. There were two theories, he said, In regard to the functions of the press. The first theory was that it could not possibly niruid or guide public opinion, but could only reflect It. The friends of this theory pointed with pride to th L >adon Times, and also tc certain facta in history. They rtcalled the political con test in which Gen Fremont was a candidate for the p.esidenoy, and in which he was supper.ed by all the leading news* papers, only to be defeated. The other theory was that the press did emphatically mould and guide public opinion. The speaker leaned to the loelieftbat the press represented the best public opinion, and in so doing guided and elevated the masses. In its work the press was mu* terially aided by three things. The fiist of these was the public school. Without the agency of the public school the great body of newspaper readers would be unprepared for tbe reception of tbe teachings of the press. The public school t&nghtthe masses to read and gave them suffi cient education to comprehend wha: they found in their dally papers The Becoud aid to the press was the pulpit, which instructed the people in morals and provided them with ethical principles, The third aid was the oommon tense of the people The speaker had no fesr that the affairs of the ration could go far .astray as long is tne common sense of the people existed as a restraining and guiditig influence. Its salutary effects must be felt by the press at all times. The editor, however, nad the advantage of the mm s er in the greater number ofh s audience. Tte preacher spoke to a few hundred per sons, but the editor spoke to tunny thounands. There was some,.hirg like 5000 daily newspapers in 'he woriu,aud they had a cll.-n .age of 22, 000,000 readers Mr Entoa deplored personal Journalism and declared that it was one of . the pests of thsd&y. The Journalist bad no right to enter a home and lay bare its unhappiness to the world. This portion of Mr Eaton's addret.t was loudiy applauded. Mr John Bwinton was to have been the next speaker, b;r. he was un able to be present, and ■ s place was laken by Franklin F no., editor of Bradstrei-i’s, who gave -.i terance to tne opinion that u e v% -papers of today were not :s sr << .»a those of fifty years ago. T-:u Mini: Sv&rr Hoyt Nichols, who DnJ- an elabo rate plea for free tboueiit, but neg lected to say anything about the press. He was foilov. ed by J .hn F iord, editor of the Brooklyn Union. Mr Foord felt tiiai. there had been h good deal of theory advanced by the previous speakers, but not much of praoticsl value He thought Mr Eitou’o public school read :s Mere those who patronized the most pernicious class of newspapers. His idea of the newspaper’s sphere was that it should satisfy publio curiosity in regard to what an eml cent dramatist called subjects of contemporaneous human interest. He believed that the public got Just the kind of newspapers It demanded. Editors printed what the public wanted to read. There was mure anxiety, he believed, on the part of the great majority of newspaper readers to kuow where M ss Cleve land drew the line of improper dre-.s than where her brother drew the line of iflousive partisanship People would rather read u wall written ac count of a divorce case than a good article on me lar.ff The new-papal had an it.finance upon public opinion, even in “ucn spheres as art and literature. Wuat tne speaker thought the press lacked j was a close: relation to the daily life of the people, H : thought ilm, news papers would accompl s . more trood if they tried more earnestly to r il -ct the grt-a. current ol ordinary, daily human life, ra'.hcr than if they sought after what was abstru <e, un is ml or eltvaird.

Four of my brothers and sisters had died with consumption, and about three years ngo I became so ex haunted by long continued cough, accompanied with low fever and night sweats, that I could barely get about, and my friends gave up all hope. I coughed ho incessantly that I could not sleep at all. After trying several lung medicines I be gan the use of BREWER'S LUNG RESTORER and was greatly ben efited by the first bottle, gaining liesh and strength and resuming work, I continued to take it and am as stout now as I ever was, rare ly ever cough, nor do I suffer with my lungs any more than if tht-v had never been effected, I am never without a bottle of it in my house. During the winter I gave it to my little children, even a little fellow three years old, for any thing like common colds, or when they show any evidence of croup, and always with the most satisfac tory results.
