Mri Bonaparte's Views Upon News I papara. Attorney-General Bonaparte made ac' ecmirable address before the Po litical Economy Club recently on ''"'Government by Public Opin ion," in the course of which he dis cussed the functions and influence of newspapers, and laid down what he regards, and -what all intelligent per sons must regard, as the fundamen tal and sound principles of honest and'.sucoessfu! journalism- Th? right of. petition is a constitutional right of, the people of the United States, _ and; this right, Mr. Bornaparte de clared, is always an object for attack and repression by unpopular govern ments. A free press, however, he continued, : is a perpetual petition, "always, telling the Government what the people ;wish and hope for and think right, and no government in any ..country^ out of sympathy with fcbe people it ruled, has ever per manently tolerated _a free press. " We may add that it is a fortunate lireum?tance for popular liberty and good government that a newspaper Heyer can exert any powerful influ once for any length of time unless it .-.vsU^worthy^ unless it speakes the truth ; . -, and is honest and patriotic. The newspaper is like the watch man, upon the wall of his country who .ceases-not, day or night, warning peo ple of present or approaching danger. .. .... Ag. long as men have confidence in " the honesty and patriotism of the newspaper, as long as it voices or ex presses thc just aspirations of the . - people, just so long will the people ..V .-trust-it and follow it and be guided ^?^??ry irs disinterested advice. But, as ? M*. Bornaparte truly says, "as soon ac a paper is. recognized as some l'. body's 'organ,' as : expressing the views and wishes and opinions of any particular man or set of men, its healthful influence as a newspaper is :*? . gone ; it ?nay, indeed, have another kind of influence, for those who con trol or conduct it may be powerful men, but "its editorial utterances are their 'open letters.' " And .it is just as fatal to the stand ing and influence of a newspaper for s lt* to become the -organ of, or to be owend or controlled, as Mr. Bona parte Expresses it, by "well known interns"-in other words, "by wealthy- men in far-reaching enter prise?..;" The editor must be a poli tician in the best and highest sense of that "ward. He must have an un derstanding of political affairs and feel np "interest in them. Otherwise he is out of plaee -in the editor's eiair.^ He should, have definite opinions " upon public and political subjects, and should express those opinions honestly " when occasion of the public welfare demands it. He may, si Mr. Bonaparte says, in effect express his opinionby keeping silent. That is, in effect, action, just, as it is an act, of a court' to dismiss a suit because the court is too indolent to try it. ; Perhaps Mr. Bonaparte goes too far when he says that a news paper's "failure to act is usually very discreditable action; to fail the friends/ of good, government is to serve its enemies." There is a time for" every purpose under heaven; a time to keep silence a time to speak ; a time to act and a time to refrain from action ; a time, for instance, to enforce thceommodities clause of the Bate law and a time to refrain from enforcing it. There may be a time when' a" newspaper can afford the friends- of good government better ?id by silence than by denunciation or discussion. -Uponi the whole, Mr. Bonaparte's views on this great subject are emin ently Correct. The influence of an Honest newspaper may be strong and wide, but that influence can only be maintained hy a' policy of patriot ism, sincerity and honesty. And such a policy can not be maintained unless it is absolutely independent of per sonal interests whether such interest be of a political or business character. The importance of such newspapers cannot be exaggerated. Without them popular government is next to im possible. Evils that were once, before the days, of the liberty of the press, pressing ?nd real dangers can now be disregarded. The evils which flourish in the Attar chamber and in secret places, shrivel and die under the blaz ing light of publicity. People are de manding publicity because it is the greatest rof all guarantees of liberty and of honest government. There js no nobler or more useful mission , than that of the independent newspaper, which honestly and con scientiously seeks to promote the pub lie -welfare, and which knows no mas / ter or Controlling innuence but cn the other hand, there is no agency which is more ! dangerous and more justly the object of public scorn than the newspaper which, while professing to represent the people, is really in the service of proprietary antagonistic interests and is betraying the princi ples which it -pretends to advocate.

Paris, By Cable.-The reports to ind the debates before the fifth in ternational congress of cotton spin aers and manufacturers which open ?d in this city Monday, all indicate ;hat Europe stands in great fear of American monopoly and feels the ur gent necessity of freeing this im menss foreign industry from Ameri ian domination of the price of raw material, especially "when?.cotton is .he subject of speculative movements. Tho otheiai French report insists .hat foreign manufacturers have a right to fair pri?es in order to avoid i derangement of the industry ibroad. Moritz Schany, a German axpert, expressed the opinion that while there is a possibility, of a largely increased American produc tion, labor difficulties beyond the, Atlantic make an increase in the mpply of American raw material abroad unlikely, especially as the United States undoubtedly "will great ly increase the consumption of its own cotton. Herr Schany joins with his colleagues in the cry against the Americans on the ground that they are not disposed to deliver their cot ton at fair prices. To remedy this .condition thc European delegates ad vocate, first, some method to put a stop to improper speculation, and second, tbs fostering and the ?ten sion of the production of cotton in the colonies of Europe, especially in Africa and Egypt. It is claimed thai in ten years' time these countries will be able to produce 10,000,000 bales of cotton a year. The American delegation, on the contrary, contend that the So itheru States are the natural field for cotton production, and say they will be ca pable ultimately of an output amount ing to a hundred million bales a year. D. A. Tompkins, of Charlotte, N. C., submitted a report in which he urged that the existence of a large new cot ton area was problematical and it was therefore the duty of the Euro peon manufacturers, instead of pur suing illusory dreams, to turn their attention to aiding emmigration to thc Souhern States, where, with adequate labor, sufficient cotton can be growp to supply the entire world. A. S. Perrill, of Chicago, insistted that the only way to reduce the price of cotton was to increase its produc tion. The European manufacturers who had so greatly lessened the cost of manufacture, he said, could best contribute to this end by co-operating with the- Ameriean planters in find ing methods to lessen he cost of pro-" duotion. At a secret session held Monday af ternoon there came up for discussion j a resolution in favor of organizing a systematic compaign of agitation to induce the governments of Europa to co-operate in tbe exploitation of. colonial cotton production by fur nishig seed and teaching r colonists how to plant and cultivate. The American delegates, realizing that the practical results of such action are vague and distant, assumed a passive attitude. Mr. Perrill, how ever, argued that some of the Euro pean oppoaition would be disarmed if greater care was exercised in thc South in the picking and preparing of cotton. The committee of the congress fin ally proposed a compromise resolu tion to the effect that the best means of evading disaster in the trade whether in the direction of lack o? raw material or overproduction in mills, were to be found in the estab lishment of an international agree ment to the restriction of production. The resolution, which probably will be voted, invites all confederated or ganizations of the various countries to act. in harmony for a short time when conditions demand a concerted curtailment.

Recovery Is indicated, St. Louis, Special.-In the last week of May the National Prosperity Association carried on a canvass among employers to have June 1 re cognized as "employment day" or "re-employment daj'," by the resto ration of employes who were laid un* because of the recent business de ression. Favorable answers have een received from several hundred employers, and it is estimated that 17,500 names ?vavc been added to pay rolls in St. Louis and vicinity. A number of employers increased their working forces without waiting for "employment day." Information gathered by officers of the National Prosperity Association, it is announced, justifies thc estimate that orders for $5,000,000 wortA of goods have been sent from St. Louis houses to manufacturers scattered throughout the country in thc last two weeks. E. C Simmons, chairman of the ex ecutive committee, said that his firm mailed orders to reach manufacturera June 1, aggregating $1,000,000. With each order went a brief letter say ing: "The inclosed order is one of a number aggregating more than $1,-1 000,000 which we are sending out to reach manufacturers on June 1. This is the date, that has been suggested by thc National Prosperity Associa tion as 're-employment day,' and these orders are a contribution from us to give manufacturers a basis for the re-employment of as many work ingmen as possible." The association has completed an inquiry into business conditionss in May. Representatives of St. Louis houses were called on for statements comparing May business with that of April and with May, 1907, and 1906. The answers abounded in explicit in formation of an encouraging charac ter, showing a rapid recovery in com mercial circles which in April seem ed impossible. James E. Smith, president of the Business Men's League, said that the prosperity movement was not confin ed to St. Louis alone, as thousands of letters had been rccenved showing that similar work is going on in many commercial centers throughout thc country.

The warrants are in the government cot ton leak cases and were issued for the New York men fo rthe purpose of causing their .arrest and return to this jurisdiction for trial. All four men were indicted here Friday.

At a considerable distance from the chicken **wo^ers is a duck house, wK-?*. -ne nttle ducklings are shei "-red and cared for from the time they are hatched to the time when they are dressed and sent to market. The house is 500 feet long and 4G feet wide. There are partitions every 100 feet to prevent drafts cf air. The ducks are graded according *o age, the little fellows getting what is call ed "baby food," a little lau-* No. 2 feed, and as they get considerable size and strength, No. 3 feed. There is an alley running through length wise of the house. Through this al ley a car, on which there is a box twelve feet long containing feed, is pushed along, and the ducks in pens on either side are-fed as systematical ly as the large dairymen feed their herds of cows. It requires a thorough knowledge of the habits of the duck to handle them successfully. Although a water fowl, they must be kept comfortable and dry while young. Water is fur nished running along in a trough where they can reach their bills In and drink, but they cannot get into it. A strange characteristic is a love for light, and lanterns are kept burn ing to light their pens all night, ot they would injure themselves by run ning against the partitions.-Tribune Farmer.
