WHAT OUQHTTO HE PUBLISHED-
In every town or city where there ia
a newspaper then exists three dass
es of people who volunteers great
deal of advice to the editor • how to
ran the paper. One of these classes
is made up-of those who perpetually
kick at everything. The editor pays
no attention to this class ior they
knows so little abrut a newspap r o?
anything else that their opinion is
worthless as to Che value of a news
item. , The other two classes, how
ever, are honest in their advice, and
as such it ia always received. These
classes are made up of those who
complain of things that ought to be
published and of things that ought
not to be published.
A piece of news ought not to be
published unless it is true, for mere
ru mors often do great evil, A rumor
against the character of a man should
never be published without it be first
substantiated, and a woman’s name
should never be brought in question
unless the evidence is most convin
cing. An artie'e should never be
published simply to stir up strife
without any accompanying good
No article should appear in print
that simply goes there for the
amount of sensation there is in i
There is critcism ot the publication
of items concerning crimes like rape,
s;daction, aid the like. The grounds
of he criticism are that it lowtra the
standard of journalism and render*
the paper unfit for perusal around
the family fireside. We beg to differ
with those who make snob criticisms.
No paper has a right to publish
vulgarity, but all papers are justified
in printing tho news. It will never
do any good to cover up such.thinga.
The mere publication of such things
puts the unwary and unsospeotifig
and innocent on their guard against
all future occurrences. If the villain
k o vs that a fearless, untramDeled
and unpurchaaab'e ^oress will«xpose
him in his villainy and help bring
him to justice he will be slow to
cotnmit these effensev. It is poor
policy to smother up any crime of
this nature. Such a course means
to give crime unbridled sway and
licentiousness a fee simple title for
ever to our country.'” The true
journalist will sxpose crime, inde
cency and licentiousness at every
point, and in so doing will earn the
applause of his people, for there ia
nothing more disagreeable to crime
than the light of day. He will die**
criminate between decency and vul
garity In his reports, bat will handle
the new* fearlessly and openly.
It ia a.newspaper’s business to re»
port the news. That ia its high
duty to its patrons and to its people.
Whenever it fails in this regard, it
deserve] censure.
AN ENOlNk OF (JORROR.
New York should repeal her .law
req iring capital crimes to be
punished by electrocute m, and
should go back to the hanging meth
od. The dynam ) is - an engine of
horror, and its work is sometimes
slow and torturiog. The elic rocu*
tion of the negro Taylor on Thurs
day was an example of this. The
entreat was p issed through him and
the dynamo burned out. The con
demned murderer began to recover,
saliva exuded from his mouth and Hie
groaned aloud. The linemen had to
ran oat and connect the machine
with an electric light w're before it
could be used again. For over an
hour Taylor remained upon the cot
to which he had been removed. The
first electrocution occurred at 12
48 o’clock and the second at 1 55.
If that isn’t brutality then we fail
to comprehend the meaning of the
word. New York has tried the ex
periment and it has proved a mmu-
ital failure? It ought to be blat
ted from the statute books of the
great Empire State r f the North.

SOMEBODY’S MOTHER.
Tho woman was old and ragged and gray,
And bent with the ehiil oi a winter’s da;;
The e'reets were white with a recent inoo,
And the woman’s test with age were slow.
At the crowded croseing she waited long,
Jostled aside by the careless throng
01 human beinga who raised her by,
Unheeding the glance of har anxious eye.
Down the street with langhter and ihont,
Glad ia the freedom of “school let out,”
Come happy boys, I ke a fl <ck of abeep,
Hailing the snow piled white and deep;
Past, tha woman so old and gray,
Hastened the children on their way.
None offered a helping hand to her,
So weak and timid, afraid to stir,
Lest the carriage Wheels, or the hones’ feet,
Should trample her* down in the slippery
street.
At laat came out of the merry troop
The gayest boy of aU the group;
Ho panted betide her, and whispered low,
“I’ll help yon across, if yon wish to go.”
Har aged band on bis strong young arm
She placed, and ao withotu hurt or harm
Ha guided the trembling feat^ong
frond that hit own were young and strong;.
Then back again to.hu friends he went,
HU young heart happy and well content.
Sha’a somebody’s mother, boys, yon know,'
For all she’s aged and poor afid slow:
And aome one some time, mey lend a heed
To help'my mother—yon understand?—
If ever she’s old and poor aid grey,
And her own dear boy to far awey.”
“Somebody’s mother” bowed low her head
,Ia bar tayae that tight, and the pr.yer she
said
Wat: "God be kind to that noble boy, ..
Who ia somebody’s son end pride and joy.
