All are liable to err, but accord ing to our opinion, nothing is more valuable in a newspaper (linn bold ness in the expression of its views. Decision lind d?termin?t ion aro characteristics absolutely essen tial to success, and tile editor who ?seeks to "beat around" an issue that is before the people, for fear that his views are not popular, i.-> unworthy thc supper! of any com munity. But we also say that nothing should bc condemned more thnn the custom, prevalent muong some newspapers, of trying to in fluence public opinion upon the guilt or innocence of a party ac cused of crime, before tho facts ure presented to a jury. The press is undoubtedly ti power, and its free dom one of tho brightest stars that mark the superiority of the Amer ican government, yet it should never be allowed to interfere ?with or s ti pc recd e trial o.y J'art/. To he tried for crime is II serious thing, and our government de clares that it shall be done fairly and impartially; any attempt from any source, to influence in any manner tho minds of those whose whose duty it is to decide, is con trary to the spirit of our institu tions and should bo condemned. Honv newspapers seem ever ready and anxious to publish scandal, ^.yeft..t'key appear to subsist Upon it. *.:K1 mere rumor they turn into facts, and in the harshest manner prejudge tho accused. More than once we have been urged to adopt this course. Friends have told us that it would make hundreds of subscribers if we -denounce certain accused persons. Perhaps tins is true; 'he public seem far too eager to read these sensational and scandalous articles ; hut, bo that as it may, lot us lose every subscriber, let us turnup our toes anti die, tho AnvEHTisKit will never be guilty of such a course, knowingly. We endeavor to state everything that comes to our knowledge, that it is proper to state, and do SO in an impartial manner to state no rumor as a fact, and comment on it as such. If thc public desires more, let them go to n Polic? (iazeffe or other scandal monger. We desiri* to injure no one, and bold truth above price. If you would read a man's char acter, look at him while he ls pur suing his daily avoca'io:-. Some, can labor and toil from day to day in lill ll) ble positions and all thc while preserve a cheerful and hap py appearance that is sure to draw the attention of the most casual observer, while others go about their work with a downcast look that throws a gloom over all who come in contact with them. The you ll ff man who stands behind the ?.minter and greets his customers with a smile; who has a cheerful .?'ord for idl, .rorth moro to his employer than a dozen such as ap pear to have lost even the faintest ray of hope, and have not learned to look upon the bright side of life. The world-itself cold, bard mid unyielding,-demands more than simple respect. Ile who can gather drops of cheefulness, even In ad versity, ami bas gained the happy faculty pf pasting rays of sunshine Into tho lives of hi.? fellow-men, will surely gain their esteem, The time is fast coming when the young men of the Soot li will roill i/.e their condition. They will no longer seek tho learned professions In order to gala fl higher social po sition, but the true dignity of labor will be asserted and they \\'ll learn that lt is not thft avocation that elevates a mun, but the manner In which ho applies himself, He who enters upon the arena of life without a consciousness of ability to tftke a prominent rank in his chosen profession, should be warned by the experience of thou? minds, who, by misguided judg ment, have boen led to undertake lOorp tiru" their natural ability would Justify, and consequently, have been wrecked ere the voyage of Ufo was fairly begun, fn this aggressive age, sharp competition Js met with In every line, and true \vo?'th and genuine merit alone eau . HtfJrvlvo tho shocks that will surely come, A newspaper has just appeared in Dakota called the Headlight, ami its motto is; "We believe in bell down to half a pint Tfij dering it nt a single skilled Workmen.

How much better for ber would it have been if she had selected some poor but worthy young mau, in stead ol'the rich spendthrift. After all, money cannot purchase* happi ness. Miss Nellie is a general favorite, nnd the husband must be in fault tbis lime. -Odils are being offered by a number of Ohio Democrats that Sherman will not ho the Ignited states Senator.
