Field of fount r.v Newspapers.
'4'ho following very excellent arti
cle upon "The Field of Country
Nownpapers," is from the North 1'a
kota Star :

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

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

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."
