It is either a fad or the result of a growing tendency for certain njembers of the ministry to assail the press when ever the slightest excuse for so doing presents itself. This disposition crops out in every community and asserted itself in the Pan-American congress at Toronto when Dr. S. J. Smith charged the papers with preaching a doctrine of detraction to priestand temple. Barring that class of papers that panders to a taste which is d.iscreditable to our civili zation, we respectfully challenge the reverend gentleman to the proof of the grave charge he has preferred. Several editors have addressed the congress and we fail to detect in their utterances any of that overwrought sentiment which has in more than one instance obtruded itself into the deliberations of the con gress. With close adheronca to the tenets universally accepted as promoting good morals, they have rationally dealt with the themes allotted to them and with that conservatism in which tbWe is safety have reached the conclusion which ail creeds and denominations must accept as conducive to the better ment of the world. They are but representative of \the newspaper sentiment of the continent. It is true that in the exercise of its legit imate functions the newspaper includes in its daily news the record of crime and other wrong doing. But these features of our current history serve to point a moral rather than to adorn a tale. There is a condemnation of the wrong and a demand that the majesty of the law be maintained. Vice is painted in the hideous colors that the subject sug gests and justice as well as morality are appealed to as safeguards of society thus invaded. Crime fears publicity and dread of it is frequently a more power ful deterrent than is dread of the law. As a preventive and a detective of crime there is no more potential agency than the press. As an engine of human progress, as an instrument of social, municipal and political reform, it is without a peer. Strange it is that men like Dr. Smith should condemn it for turning the light upon such offenders as love darkness and will not venture into the full glare of publicity. He and his kind make a mistake that carries with it the odium of a rank injustice, for repu table newspapers are co-workers in the cause ^ morality and deserve that reci procity that • they receive from a great majority in the pulpit. T h e M o r s e W i l l R e m a l o . Some of those who are trying to fore tell the consequences that must come from the development and application of electrical science are making the gloomy prophecy that the horse must go, or at best become an insignificant factor in carrying on the busy affairs of the world. Street cars are propelled by a power that comparatively a short time ago was known only as a mysterious force in nature dreaded for the destruc tion that it wrought. Electrical carri ages are iu practical use and it is certain that they will gradually become more common as a means of conveyance. It is only a question of time when most of the machinery of the farm will be run by harnessed lighmng as a mo tive power and in many other employ ments where the horse has been used as a beast of burden he will be made super fluous by the subtle fluid which is doing 80 much to revolutionize the traditional methods of civilization. Unless some unforseen event creates new flelds in which to utilize his strength, activity and intelligence, the world’s supply of horses for such demands as he now meets, will be greatly diminished. But that the noblest of the brute crea tion will become extinct is the gloomy view of the pessimists. He is too good a friend of man, too great a favorite, to become the victim of suoh a fate. There are conditions of country, location and the character of work to be performed that will make the use of steam or elec tricity impracticable. The novelty of electrical carriages may for a time lead to their adoption by private individuals, but in time, if in favor at all, they will serve as pnblio conveyances only. There i8 no meohanioal device that can give the exhilarating pleasure afforded in riding behind a spirited team of horses or galloping across country on the back of them. The beat of the species will be preserved and perpetuated. The breeds will be improved and the falling off will be in that class of animals that now re ceives the attention of societies for the prevention of cruelty. The selfish con sideration of pleasure in itself is enough to insure the horse a lasting place with the treasured possessions of man. With the silver sentiment losing much of its aggressiveness iu such states as Colorado and Nevada, the prospect of its cutting much of a figure in the next national campaign is growing very slim, The people in this country who are constantly decrying our currency systein and proclaiming the approach of national, ruin unless some radical changes be made, are only deterring Euglish investors wh^o would otherwise bring their millions to the United Stater. Assistant Secretary Curtis reports a vast amount of capital there awaiting in vestment and only the fear which some of our people have created, is keeping it at home. There are an unusually large number of accidents this season on the high seas and what makes them more lamentable is the fact that many of them might be avoided by the exercise of prudence and care. The fog and the unseen ship are now the greatest dangers of navigation. It is claimed that Gfen. Bushnell, as candidate for governor of Ohio, will capture the German vote because his moustache is shaped like a pretzel. It is likely that seme of the voters will pay more attention to the shape of the gen eral’s head. PERSONAL MENTION. Henry Sanford is in Europe. Norman Wright is in the Adirondacks. Mr. C.

The Empire State Express Covers 148 Miles in 140 Minutes. A feat in railroading was performed Saturday on this section of the New York Central, which, though not infre quently paralleled on this most eflBcient and speedy of road*, is certainly cal culated to make one wonder. The feat was nothing less than the accomplish ment by th|e great Empire State Express of a distance of 148 miles in 140 minutes, something scarcely possible, with safety, to a less thoroughly governed and me chanically perfect road. The Empire arrived in Syracuse Sat urday afternoon forty one minutes late, was delayed three minutes by its stop at Utica, and four minutes in this city by accommodation train No. 72, but arrived in Albany at 7:08, having made the 148 miles in 140 minutes, this of course be ing actual running time with stops de ducted. Such moving across country for such a distance is enough to con vince any old time obstructionist that we of the present day are actually^“fly ing’’ into the face of Provicence. Old 888, the railroader’s criterion of locomotive cx-ceilence, had Jacob Vroo- man, of Schenectady, at the throttle and was fired by Peter Wagner,of St. Johns- viile, both of whom feel justifiable pride in the latest aciiievement of their iron steed.—Little Falls Times.
