MONOPOLY IN NEWS. Anothnr Shot from the "Enquirer'" Ouns at tha Advocate of the I'roposeil Newt Copyright Law. Cincinnati, (., March 13. Tho oppo nents of the impracticable and manifestly unfair proposition to create u monopoly in the news of tho day by moans of tha pro posed nws copyright law have an able champion in the Enquirer of tills city. Much opposition U apparent among the newspapers of the leading cities and tow ns of this State, Pennsylvania and Indiana, and Senator Sherman Is roundly denounced because of his Introduction in the Senate of the bill to make such copyright the law of the land. Tho Enquirer of Tuosday says editorially: rvinirwxt alinnlil not illllv-dallv with tliO sctiomo to cn-uto a monopoly In news. If the E it-ople wlioare wormntf to mat enu propose n aft. mi events mill want a patent, that is onethiiiHr; hut tlu-y stand tor. h ns uno.xam plod In-timccs of impudence when tlu-y Hsk for a piitent on events which they mi-relv pro pose to chronicle. The work ol a book-maker a writer of books is wholly lillerent. The matter of tho book Is the eoiuuue of the brain of the man who asks lor a copy right. Tho gentlemen with moro gall than Judgment or fairness who aro now asking for aiil might us reasonably petition Congress to give tliein a patent, on motive power as a whole on tho piineipal of the steam ongino or the wator-whetil as to ask for a iruarantee of proprietorship in events to which they bear no relation except that of chroniclers. A more direct route to the re lief they seek would be to forward with a bill and ask that tho people In their respective bailiwicks bo compelled to become subscribers to their slobber. Failing in that, how would it do for them to go before their legislatures ami ak the lao.ninkinir nniver to come down oil till) del- )ltcate and sulisidizo tneir aoornve ruiiru m ournulism that can not stand ordinary com petition? If tho bill inlroclueou hi iuo in tanoeoftho monopolists can pass, the shoe makers, hatters and iron-workers now en gaged In business should iinmodiatuly de mand that all new comers shall be ruled out and tho people compelled to buy from them, and from them alono. The bill Is a fraud. It Is for the purpose of establishing a dishonest mo nopoly, and Congress should sit down upon it witfiout ceremony, and with unmistakable force. The scope of the Mil Is possibly not comprehended by the publishers whoso Inter ests are most seriously atlectod. Towns like Dayton, Pprlngtteld, Hamilton, Chillicothe, Zaiiesvlllo, Akron, IMuina, Youngstown, Del aware, Lexington, Frankfort, Paris, Cyn thlana, Lafayette, Evansvllle, Hlielbyvillo, Terre Haute, etc., might as well ask their members of Congress to legislate them out of business as to tolerate aoiiuioscence in this most Iniquitous of monopolies. The country newspapers that have been doing well can not assure themselves of continued prosper ity by IndlUerencu to tiie action of their Con gressmen. Their material interests and the rights of tho publo have been attacked In the highest legislative body. Letters to your Representatives and Senators are in order. AMONG THE POLITICIANS.

In some way the persons in its track did not observe its approach until it was too late to escape. V ith resistless force the great mass swept down upon the New Emma mine property and tho little settlement where the huts of the miners were. The men had come up about an hour before.
