The Question of how far the edito rials in a newspaper reflect the person al, individual views or the editor, and how far they are to he taken as an im ?irtial exposition or concrete facts ;nd principles, Is up for discussion. id although the matter can never he i 't nitely settled, occasional consider ation of It is not unprofitable. In this world of many men and many /rinds, it would he tlie height of pre B imption, cheek and gall, for any man 7? try to hold out the idea that he Alone is infallible and that he alone is ipable of conceiving correct views upon tiny question, no matter what; at the man who is unable to appre ciate that whether he is capable of discovering it or not. there is a right und wrong to everything, is little bot ler than a moral and Intellectual Im becile. There arc editors, so-called editors, who have no views except their desires ad whose views are applied to every ntestion on the same principle thai an nfnnt turns to its mother's breast, or !? ticks a piece of candy. These editors . iclare a certain way and argue a cer tain way, because they want things ; ii.t way. And in all cases their views .re certainly the individual views of 16 editors. By way of illustration, we will re marh that while there are as many kinds of lawyers as there are Individ .als in the profession, they are divided into two general classes. One class '.in see but one side of any question, ?he side it is on. and the other class looks at both sides. One class looks inly to temporary victory in the par ticular case upon which It may be en gaged. The other recognizes that in ?11 things right is the final arbitur. and Is nlways careful about trampling right under foot. Those who belong to :.ie first class, may win the plaudits of ft day or a week, those who belong to the other class build for life and leave rood reputations behind them. The newspaper editor who fents the ?picstlons of the day on a basis of tem porary expediency may very well be ?aken as expressing his individual In clinations, and it Is only n matter of ilme, and often a very short time at -lint, until ho is sized up at his full value. The newspaper editor who uti lertakes to view facts and conditions .in a basis of their real relation to fundamental truth, may not always be correct; but he will always command the respect of those who admire frank honesty, and who may he abb' to see that he stands for that quality. Editors who write merely for the purpose of impressing their individual opinion, have very little business in dicting those opinions on the public. Editors who write to teach and im press the truth with the hope of mak ing men better and wiser, very often do a great deal of lasting good.? Yorkvillo Enquirer. The Ad\ortlsor's Plan.
