At about ten o'clock the four men were sensible of a shock and a few minutes later the mine boss came to them and told them something bad happened and that they should get out as soon as they could.

B. While this arrangement would be a fair and just thing for newspaper writers, it would be a defense for the public. It is sometimes true that things dam-aping to private character are said. Who is responsible? It is the "we" of the editorial or reportorial columns. Every man in every profession or occupation ought to be responsible for what he does.

No honorable man will ever write that which he would be afraid to sign. But thousands of persons have suffered from the impersonality of newspapers. What can one private citizen, wronged in his reputation, do in a contest with misrepresentation multiplied into 20,000 or 50,000 copies? An injustice done in print is inimitably worse than an idjustice done in private life. During loss of temper a man may say that for which he will be sorry in ten minutes; but a newspaper injustice has to be written, set up in type, then the proof taken off, and read and corrected, and then for six or ten hours the presses are busy running off the issue. Plenty of time to correct.

Plenty of time to cool off. Plenty of time to repent. But all that is hidden in the impersonality of a newspaper. It will be a long step forward when all is changed and newspaper writers get credit for the good and are held responsible for the evil. Another step forward for newspaperdom will be when in our colleges and universities we open opportunities for preparing candidates for the editorial chair.

P. A. In National Politics. Washington, March 23. The American Protective association has announced its intention to enter upon the field of national politics in the coming presidential campaign.

Its first move toward this will be taken by the supreme advisory board of the organization called to meet here to-morrow. This meeting is preliminary to the sessions of the supreme council which will be held here in May. The supreme council will determine the part which the organization will take in the campaign. It is a part of the programme to insist on the re-enactment in party platforms this year of the planks of the republican and democratic platforms of 1876 in which both parties declared against sectarian appropriations and. emolnments from public moneys or property.

Another feature of the programme with which the advisory board will deal is what the political leaders of the A. P. A. ealr a campaign of education. They declare that their literature shall reach every post ofHce in the country and every voter before election day.

If you have the aforesaid agricultural, or scientific, or religious, or political idea to ventilate, you had better charge upon the world through the columns already established. It is folly for anyone who cannot succeed at anything else to try newspaperdom. If you cannot climb the hill back of your house it is folly to try the sides, of the Matterhorn.

To publish a newspaper requires the skill, the precision, the boldness, the vigilance, the strategy of a command- ing of the coat of arms of the olun a. fri The latest aermon preached at Washington by Kev. T. Do Witt Talmag-e was on the mission of newspapers. His text was: "And the wheels were full of eyes." Ezekiel, "For all the Athenians and strangers which were there spent their time in nothing else J)Ut either to tell or to hear some new thinp." Acts Dr.

Talmage said: What Is a preacher to do when he finds two texts equally pood and tng (festive? In that perplexity I take both. Wheels full of eyes? What but the wheels of a newspaper press? Other wheels are blind. They roil "on, pulling- or crushing. The manufacturer's wheel, how it grinds the operator with fatigues, and rolls over nerve and muscle and bone and heart, not knowing what it does. The sewing- machine wheel sees not the aches and pa's fastened to it tighter than the land that moves it, sharper than tb needle which it plies.

Every moment of every hour of every day of every month of every year there are hundreds of thousands of wheels of mechanism, wheels of enterprise, wheels of hard work, in motion, but they are eyeless. Not so the wheels of the printing press. Their entire business is to look and report They arc full of optic nerves, from axle to periphery. They are like these "poken of by Kzekiel as full of eyes. Sharp eyes, near sighted, far ighd.

They look up. They look down. They look far away. They take in the next street and the next hemisphere. Kycsof criticism, eyes of investigation; eyes that twinkle with mirth; eyes glowering with indignation; eyes tender with love; eyes of suspicion; eyes of hope; blue eyes, black eyes, preen eyes, holy eyes, evil eyes ore eyes, political eyes, literary eyes, historical eyes, religious eyes, eyes that see everything.

"And the wheels were full of eyes." liut in my second text is the world's cry for the newspaper.

I know men may tumble by what seems accident into a newspaper office as they may tumble into other occupations, but it would be an incalculable advantage if those proposing a newspaper life had an insti tution to which they might to learn the qualifications, the respon sibilities, the trials, the temptations, the dangers, the magnificent oppoitu-nities, of newspaper 1'fe. Let there be a lectureship in which there shall appear the leading editors of the United States telling the story of their struggles, their victories, their mistakes, how they worked and what they found out to be the best way of working. There will be strong men who wvl climb up without such aid into editt rial power and efficiency. So do me; climb up to success in other branches by sheer grit. But if we want learned institutions to make lawyers and art ists and doctors and ministers, much more need learned institution! to make editors, who occupy a positioj of influence a hundred-fold greater.

do not put the truth Vx strongly when I say the most pot-nt influence for good on earth is a good editor, and the most potent influence for evil is a baJ one.

Washington, March 19. Owing to the indisposition of Mr. Mills who had the floor on the subject, the Cuban debate was not continued in the senate yesterday. An animated discussion arose over the resolution of Mr. Cannon (Utah), directing Secretary Smith execute the law for the public opening of the Uncompahgre Indian reservation in Utah.

At two o'clock the Dupont case came up and occupied the remainder of the session. The house entered upon the consideration of the resolutions censuring Mr. Bayard for speeches delivered by him before the Grammar school at Boston, and before the Edinburgh (Scotland) Philosophical institution last fall-Mr. Hitt, chairman of the foreign affairs committee, and Mr. McCreary, who was chairman of the committee in the last congress, opened respectively for and against the resolutions.

Pending debate the house adjourned. TflfRDSAV. Washington, March 20. Cuba again held the boards in the senate yesterday. A new feature of ihe debate was a speech from Mr.

Chilton (Tex.) who has seldom addressed the senate. He nrged that there was abundant work at home to occupy the attention of congress instead of enlisting in humanitarian crusades abroad, with their possibilities of war. The debate was continued all day, but no vote was reached. Debate on the resolutions censuring Ambassador Bayard was continued in the house, but it was not disposed of before adjournment. TRIUAr.

Washington, March 21. The Cuban resolutions received an unexpected reverse in the senate yesterday. Mr. Sherman sought to interrupt the usual course of adjourning over Saturday unless unanimous consent was given to take the final vote on the Cuban question at a stated time next week. The unanimous consent was not given, however, and the senate voted, 42 to 22, to adjourn over to Monday.

The vote was regarded as an evidence of growing opposition to the Cuban resolutions. Most of the day was given to. the Cuban debate. A number of small bills were passed. Just before adjournment Senator Morgan offered a resolution declaring that a state of war exists in Cuba and recognizing the insurgents as belligerents.

It went over. The house, after three days debate, adopted a resolution censuring Thomas F. Bayard, ambassador to the court of St. James, for utterances delivered in an address to the Boston, Eng. grammar school, and in an address before the Edinburg, Scotland, Philosophical institution last fall.

The vote stood 180 to 71 in favor of the first resolution, and 101 to 59 in favor of the second. Five republicans voted against the resolution of censure and six democrats voted for it. All the and nine democrats voted for the second resolution. The house declared the seat of Mr. Boatner, of the Fifth Louisiana district, vacant on account of fraud and intimidation.

MOXDAT. Washington. March 24. An nnex pected climax to the Cuban debate was reached in the senate yesterday when, on motion of Mr. Sherman, chairman of the committee on foreign relations, the Cuban resolutions were recommitted to the conference committee.

Mr. Mills then offered some very radical Cuban resolutions which direct the president to request of Spain to grant local self-government to Cuba and in case of refusal the president is authorized to take possession of the island and hold it until such self-government is established. The senate then considered the legislative appropriation bill. The house spent most of the day considering the Corliss bill to abolish the death penalty in all cases where it is prescribed in the federal statutes, save in the cases of murder and criminal assault. The bill failed to pass for want of a quorum.

The committee on election of president and vice president reported favorably the bill providing for the election of senators by direct vote of the people. Tl'ESDA v. Washington, March 25. In the senate yesterday Mr. Mills spoke for two hours on his resolution for the forcible occupation of the island of Cuba in order to aid the inhabitants in securing local self-government.

The senator from Texas severely arraigned Gen. Weyler, calling him an "atrocious schoundrel and villain." The resolo tion went to the calendar. The house passed the senate bill to remove the restrictions against ex-confederates, Mr. Boutelle (Me.) being the only one voting against the measure. The bill to abolish the death penalty in certain cases and one imposing penalties for selling spirituous liquors un made by the president, and the few minor positions of a laboring character, like cooks and washerwomen.

rs. LATEST M'KINLEY FIGURES. Ont of the Kace. Minneapolis, March 25. Minnesota republicans have repudiated the presidential boom of Senator Cush-man K.

Davis, the alleged favorite son. The McKinley men Monday captured three of the five congressional delecate conventions and were in control of the state convention yesterday. As a result the senator's aspirations have been laid in cold storage, and there is one less name to be presented to the St. Louis convention. Just after the convention was called to order, Congressman James A.

Tawney read a letter from Davis withdrawing from the contest. This insured a harmonious convention, and the unanimous adoption of instructions for McKinley. The platform indorses sound money. The four delegates at large are: R. G.

Evans, of Minneapolis; George Thompson, bf St. Paul; F. Hendricks, of Sauk Center, and L. P. Hunt, of Man-kato.

They were elected by acclamation, amid wild cheers, the delegates all rising, some mounting chairs and waving their hats. Each of the gentlemen made speeches pledging themselves to McKinley. ilonnd and Gagged. Chicago, March 25. Christopher Schraze, who is 76 years of age and lives at 711 South Jefferson street, was bound and gagged by two men last evening and robbed of money and papers amounting to more than 550,000.

The robbery was one of the boldest ever perpetrated in this city. Xo arrests were made, and the police are at sea in the matter. The old man lives entirely alone and has always kept his money and securities in a safe in a rear room in his house. It was a matter of common report that he was in the habit of counting his money every evening before closing up his house for the night. The robbers were evidently aware of this habit of Schrage and timed their visit accordingly.

The men gained an entrance to the house by pretending that they were anxious to rent some rooms, and as Schrage was showing- them through the house they threw him to the floor, bound and gagged him. New York for Morton. New York, March 25. The republican convention has finished its labors. The preliminary sparring that has been going- on for weeks ended in the final battle last night and the forces that have been dormant for two years kept within the state boundaries the honors of the presidential indorsement of the greatest state in the union, the state casting the largest number of votes in the electoral college.

That indorsement goes to Gov. Levi P. Morton. The delegates-at-larg-e are: Thomas C. Piatt, of Tioga; Warner Miller, of Herkimer; Chauncey M.

Depew.of Xew York, and Edward Lauterbach. Senator Lexow read the platform resolutions. Tbey declare for protection, sound money, and indorse Gov. Morton's candidacy for the presidency. W.

(. T. V. Convention. Chicago, March 25.

At a meeting of the general officers of the W. T. U. here yesterday it was decided not to hold the.osxt national convention of the organization in San Francisco, although that city had been chosen. Among the reasons for the change are the request of the National Suffrage association that in view of its own active operations on the Pacific coast this year, the white ribbon convention should be postponed for one year.

It is also thought it will be better to hold the next convention in or near the state of Kansas, as a crisis in the temperance work is thought to be impending in that state. It now looks as though the next national convention of the W. T. U. would go to St.

Louis in October or November, 1890. An Kiebt-Honr Movement. Indianapolis. March 25. At to-day's session of the executive council of the American Federation of Labor the sub-committee on the eight-hour day problem submitted its report.

It recommends that May 1 be set aside as the day lo inaugurate the eight-hour plan throughout the country, and that the carpenters be selected as the union to make the test. The committee will recommend a strike of all carpenters' nnions that are forced to work overtime beginning on the day that the eight-hour plan goes into effect. It is expected that the council will unanimously indorse the action of its committee. Yesterday the council discussed at length the internal troubles of the Stage Employes' National union.

We for the most part blindly guess about the ages that antedate the newt paper, and are dependent upon tho prejudices of this or that historian. But after a hundred or two years what a splendid opportunity the historian will have to teach the people the lesson of this day. Our Bancrofts jot from the early newspapers of this country, from the Boston News Letter, the New York Gazette, and the American Rag Bag and Royal Gazetteer and Independent Chronicle, and Massachusetts Spy and the Philadelphia Aurora, accounts Perry's victory and Hamilton's duel and Washington's death and Boston's massacre and the oppressive foreign tax on luxuries, which turned Boston's harbor into a teapot, and Paul Revere's midnight ride, and the Rhode Island rebellion, and South Carolina nullification. But what a field fur the chronicler of the great future when he opens the files of a hundred standard American newspapers, giving the minutia of all things occurring under the social, political, ecclesiastical, International headingsl Five hundred years from now, if the world lasts so long, the student looking for stirring, decis-sive history will pass by the misty corridors of other centuries and say to the libraries; "Find me the volumes that give the century which the American presidents were assassinated, the civil war enacted, and the cotton gin, the steam locomotive, and electric pen, the telephone, and cylinder presses were invented." Once more I remark that a good newspaper is as much a blessing as an evangelistic influence. Yon know there is a great change in our day taking place.

The general health of the people is reported as good. The board finds fault with the management of some of the state institution a The industrial school for girls at Beloit and the reform school for boys at Topeka, for instance. There are inmates in both these institutions, the report says, who are guilty of no crime, yet they are sent there by parents, guardians and officials simply because they are in the way and they want to get rid of them. It is criminal wrong to place an innocent child in these places, where they are compelled to daily associate with some depraved girl or boy sent there for crime.

Hut the battle for the freedom of the press was fought in the court rooms of England and America, and decided before this century began by Hamilton's eloquent plea for J. I'eter Zenger's Gazette in America and Erskine's advocacy of the freedom of publication in England. These were the Marathon and Thermopylae in which the freedom of the press was established in the United States and Great Britain, and all the powers of earth and hell will never again be able to put on the handcuffs and hopples of literary and political despotism. It is notable that Thomas Jefferson, who wrote the declaration of American Independence, wrote also: "If I had to choose between a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I should prefer the latter." But I discourse now on a subject you have never heard the immeasurable and everlasting blessing of a good newspaper.

Thank God for the wheel full of eyes. Thank God that we do not have like the Athenians to go about to gather up and relate the tidings of the day, since the omnivorous newspaper does both for us. The grandest temporal blessing that God has given to the ninteenth century is the newspaper. We would have better appreciation of thie blessing if we knew the money, the brain, the losses, the exasperations, the anxieties, the wear and tear of heartstrings involved in the production of a good newspaper. Under the impression that almost anybody can make a newspaper, scores of inexperienced capitalists every year enter the lists, and, consequently, during the last few years, a newspaper has died almost every day.
