'4'ho following very excellent arti cle upon "The Field of Country Nownpapers," is from the North 1'a kota Star : "It in generally understood (but ?> country newspaper is one that, in published weekly. IIo who under taken to disparage the work of the country newspaper munt l>e prepared to bluAv that the life of a majority t i) f t h o American p e o j> I e in a matter of no importance.

A l)Holufe freedom is essential to the highest success. lOdltor McCulloch of the St. Louis (Jloho- Democrat once defined hut eossfnl journalism to be, the ability to know where hell will break out next, and Charles A. Dana once said thai news is anything that ((.<<1 permits to bo dono on this earth 'I bene the oricH, however, are not entirely appli cable to a country newspaper, which Hhouhl be made, Ho far as poHjuble, a journal for I he homo The man behind the <piill ie u country oHlce should exercise a rigid censorship over his news columns Sensationalism has no place in the columns <?f a paper designed prima rily for family reading. I'uhlish flu news, certainly, but do not enlarge freely upon soohdals and criminal matters Leave something for the vifliagc. po.isip nnd, street loafer t<? do. Your paper Should not he made a newer for your community. Ft Hhouhl bo a crystal stream giving IiohI tli ami 1 i fo to nil. Scurrilous articles are seldom il over written \vi'!? ? % siw r?%! purj/Oru1 They art& neaf ly always inspired by personal Laired and revenge, and the Journalist who gloats over tho fa il - nga and misfortunes of mankind possosscB the instincts of the savage. Vitriol lias its uses but tho writer who dips hisvipon into, it ton often <lo 'AJborately invito.-; social and financial uTsaHiur. Vlio country newspaper should bo conducted on business ?"principles. The editor should de mand a fair price for hio advertising mi ?pace and should rcfuso the patron age of any one who thinks ho ifl not getting an equivalent for his money. Tell such a grumbler that you are \jiot running an oloemopynary insti tution , and if ho Iihh any churches to bestow let him increaso his contribu tion to tho missionary fund. Don't dun your readers through tho columns of your paper. And don't plead poverty an ?n exeu?o for collecting a just debt. Oliver Wen del Holmes in the "Autocrat" advises every ono to refrain from making any references to illness at tho morning meal lest some valetudinarian bo on eouraged tq tell h'? woes. An<l Emerson, the ?ngo of Concord, comes directly to the point by saying that a man never pays money to a crodi* tor who pleads poverty. Cowardice and trueulency are o qually reprehensible, but, somo of u? would do well to keep in mind flint pood old adngo about fools rushing in w.horo angels fear to tread. Finally, don't bo ashamed of your work. Take pride In it. Let every issue of your paper contain somo thing that tend* (o the upbuilding of society. You will often be malign ed and misjudged. No matter. "So persecuted thoy the prophets which were before you" Stand for the enforcement of law and order. This i doea not compel you to sanction the * conduct of every moral crank you meet You may even bo required to take direct issuo with the well moan ing but ovorzealous reformers. But there should bo no vacillation on ques tions relating to the public welfare. Hotter follow tho whito banner of truth hold aloft by tho hand of a misguided Mrs. Carrio Nation than the red ensign of lawlessness borne by a countless multitude bent on trampling under foot the expressed will of the people."
