An article in a recent number ot the Atlantic Monthly by Country Editor, who confessed that he had conducted his paper entirely for commercial purposes, attracted considerable attention. In the current number ot the same magazine is another article on the "newspaper In? dustry," which follows as a sort ot corol? lary on the article previously mentioned. This writer sets out to show that pub? lishing a newspaper in this day and gen? eration Is an industry rather than a pro? fession. He tells us that .there are 15, VOO establishments for tbe publication of . periodicals, being an Increase of 2* per ^ccnt. over 1890 to 1900. Of the" 15,000 e ting journals, 2,200 are dailies, the being weeklies. Only about 6,000 ot the 15,000 have more than one ?"thousand circulation. The aggregate of Ricapitai invested is about $192,500,000; ?"?.bout 550,300,000 of paid out in wages and iias much more for material, while the .?jvalne of the product is stated to bo $223, 4. CCO.O00. He concludes from this that tho /'?ewspaper industry is very profitable ? tuid he is not surprised that shrewd bus? lines* men have gone into it for profit. % Contrasting the new newspaper with j the old, he says that formerly the editor < ran the paper and made it the medium : through which to express his opinions / for the enlightenment of the public, "whereas in this day the paper is run fey the business manager. "In the old place of editor." to quoto "his exact language, "Is the business manager for the capital stock of the en . tprprise, and any opinions are what the ?' business demande in the view of the one ' really responsible man?to wit, the bus 1 Iness man, whose main function it is to make contracts for advertising, for paper ?supply, for fifty thousand dollar presses and for the huge labor force of the es? tablishment, mechanical and intellec? tual, to earn dividends of from twenty to fifty per cent. His chief responsi? bility, however, lies in his supervision tot the ?ditera, so that their indiscretions may not reduce the circulation or offend important Interests." He puts to him feelf the question "How many newspa? pers are there of this kind?" and says that It would be easier to answer how many newspapers are not of this kind, then asserts that he can name on the fingers of one hand existing American dailies really edited by editors. This is a slander upon the newspaper profession. It is true that publishing a? newspaper' is something of an indus? try. A newspaper is manufactured to sell, and every large newspaper estab? lishment in this day is in one sense a manufacturing establishment!. It is Biso true that the business manager is an. important functionary. He neces? sarily exercises a sort of general su? pervision over the establishment The man who makes a newspaper for sale must take it with a view to the existing demand, otherwise his product will not sell. But to say that all the newspa? pers of this country, or that a majority of them, or that a large percentage of them are edited by the business man 1 ager is an exaggeration and a calumny. The successful newspapers in this coun * try. barring a few of the so-called yel? low journal??, are newspapers ot charac? ter, newBpapers which have settled con? victions, which follow a. definite line of policy in their treatment of public ques? tions, which are thoroughly independent and courageous In the expression of their opinion. By way ot Illustration, we may mention in New York papers like the ffimes, the Tribune, the Sun. the Even? ing Post, tne Mail and Express; and, for all that may be eald against the New York World, it is an ably edited paper end can usually be counted upon to take a courageous position on the side ot truth and justice. In Philadelphia the prosperous papers fero the Record, the Ledger, the Press, the Times and the Evening Telegraph, ?each and every one of which is a pa? per of character a?d settled convictions. Coming along down, we find that the prosperous papers in the city ot Balti? more are papers that have an opinion' on public questions and the courage to express It As for the newspapers of the South, ?no one who reads them needs to be told that they are honest and truthful and fearless in their discussion ot public questions. "editors are men of discretion and they do not antagonize everything In sight tor the sake of appearing to be bravo ?and contentious. But they aro as hon? est as the men in other professions and quite as brave in giving expression to their convictions. But leaving out of consideration tbe editor's port, the newspapers of tho couatry ?re doing far more than -was ever done by the newspapers ef the old school in promoting public morals, through that powerful agency called publicity. They are printing the news fairly and courageously; they are turn? ing the light into dark corners; they are exposing crime and evil doing in all de? partments ot Ufe, especially in publia life, and they are a terror to the corrupt official and to evil-doer? generally.? Hsrcin is the real power ot the press, In doing the greatest public service, per? haps, of all .other agencies. ' In this view of the quest.ee, and it is tho fair and correct view, it will be seen that, while tbe publishing business is in part an industry, the press ot tho ?United States has not deteriorated, has lost nothing of its moral character and . moral Influence, hut that It Is more than ever a power for good. MR. THOMPSON'S EXPERIMENT. Mention has been made ot the fact that recently Congressman Thompson, of Alabama, invited a number ot his Re? publican friends in that bedy to accom? pany him on a trip through the. South in order that they might study Southern conditions and get a better understand? ing o? tho race question. The tour end? ed on Monday last but before reach? ing Washington Mr. Thompson's guests passed a series of resolutions thanking him for his hospitality and testifying that "the progress, prosperity and enter? prise of the States of Alabama, Tennes? see and North Carolina, through which they Journeyed, exceeded their highest expectations." They also resolved that their "trip, especially through the great State of Alabama, had not been without beneficial results to every member of the party." The resolutions are well edited and the gentlemen were careful not to commit themselves in any way. But we have no doubt that 'the trip has been profitable and we wish that there could be more of such tours of investigation. Human na? ture ?3 much the same the world over, and after all there is not much differ? ence between the sincere white men of the North and the sincere white men-of the South. They have been reared in a different atmosphere and under different conditions and they have their peculiar views, but' men of principle are never very far apart, and when they start out in earnest to find tho truth they are apt to come to much the samo conclusion. Ignorance is tho cause of much trouble In this world, and the great mistakes which the Northern people have made concerning the race question have pro? ceeded from tho fact that they did not know. Their conclusions were drawn from premises more or less false, and so their conclusions were necessarily er? roneous. If the members of Congress will only take the trouble to inform themselves, there will be less and less of clash be? tween them and their Southern breth? ren. Referring to the project of making the third centennial of the landing of Cap? tain John Smith by the erection of a statue, a London correspondent says that the remains of the great colonist lie in the old and picturesque Church of St Sepulchre, which stands in Holboni" via? duct where it has Newgate prison for a neighbor. The Englishman whose life Pocahontas is said to have saved died in London In 1631, and was buried in St Sepulchre's because he happened to be visiting at the house of a friend who lived In tho parish. Tho church was partly destroyed by the great fire that swept away most of the London of 1666 and rendered 200,000 people homeless. The church was one boundary of the confla? gration and its walls were left standing together with the stone adorned with the .heads of three negroes, which marked the adventuresome captain's last resting place. The brass tablet to his memory was destroyed, but fortunately r?cords of it had been left which made it possible to duplicate it in the restored St Sepulchre's. Upon his return to Lincoln, Mr. Bryan said: "Nothing very Important was discussed. I am for Tom Johnson, or any other good Democrat who subscribes to the principles of the Kansas City platform. I am not a candidate myself, and' have no particular choice among the many good Democrats available. The next nominee will be a Democrat who stands squarely on the principles enunciated at Kansas City." That means that In the estimation of Mr. Bryan the nominee must bellee in free silver. Will the Virginian-Pilot take note of the fact? In seeking divorce from her husband, Mrs. Lease mentions the interesting fact that during their entire married life her ?ood man never contributed as much as five dollars toward her support That puts a new phase on this interesting subject. Hitherto public sympathy has been with Mr. "Lease. But if Mrs. Lease was compelled to make her own living, who can blame" her for Secoming man? nish. CURRENT TOPICS. Cuba's Problem. Cuba's first difficulty will be to live within her income. Our military govern? ment turned over the treasury with only about $500,000 in it, and With the certainty thnt increased expenses and diminished revenues will for a time confront tho new republic. It will have to pay salaries for work previously dono by our army officers, at the samo time that the stagna? tion of trade, caused by the delay of Cci gress In acting upon the Cuban tariff bill, is making receipts fall off. The sit? uo tlon is one calling for skill and firmness on the part of the Cuban Government, as for sympathy on the part of our own. There is renewed talk at Washington of voting a lump sum to Cuba and leaving the tariff alone. That would bo, to say the best of it, like giving alms when we might give work. The most effective sympathy we can show the Cubans is to enable them to earn their own living. T?? do this was the generous and states? man-like recommendation of President Roosevelt: but his protectlon-rldden party in Congress has thus far refused to fol? low his leading.?New York Evening Post Mr, Hoar's Position. "We may differ with Mr. Hoar with regard to the proper way of proceeding In the Philippines," comments the New Haven Register (Ind. Rep.), "but it is not feasible to differ with him when ho mands what policy is proposed for the future of those islands and peoples. It is a fair question to ask, and some Senator is under bonds to reply." The Whys and Wherefores. Something may be learned about the real strike, by President Mitchell partic? ularly, by a perusal of these two ex? tracts from the Richmond Dispatch: "We are unable to see why the coal companies should not be willing to go t of ore a fairly constituted committee ot, arbitration, when assured that the miners are prepared to abide by tho decision ran? dewd?'* "Meanwhile a national convention of the Federation of Labor is talked about, and may be called, to extend the strike over th?. bituminous fields, as it is, over the anthracite fields." Possibly the contrast between these two sentences may open even our contempo? rary ' e eyes, if it will reflect that the men wlios* "assurance" that they will abide by arbitration it apparently vouches\for are discussing the deliberate violation of their solemn contract not to strike.? New Tork Sun. BUILDING THAT HAS A tilSTORY The Jenkins Residence on West Franklin to Be Sold at Auction To-Day. "When the auctioneer's hammer falls this afternoon on the Jenkins property at the northeast corner of Main and Adams Streets one of the old landmarks of the West fflnd will pass from the ownership of the family whose home it has been since ISSO. It was the home of Mrs. William A. Jenkins, the founder and first president of the Retreat for tne Sick, and in its capacious parlors was launched the scheme of the noble char? ity. During the lifetime of Mr. Jenkins all of the actors of the old drama and such stars of the operatic stage as Car? oline Ritchings, Edwin Hoff, Jenny Blow and others were entertained there. Tt was always the home of Edwin Booth, Lawrence Barrett and Jonn E. Owens when they came here for engagements at the old Richmond Theatre. Mr. Jen? kins was a great admirer of the drama and the opera, and he befriended many artists in their? early stiruggles? who af ?erward became famous. When the home was built It was the only one between the old Fair Grounas (Monroe Park) and FIf tn and Franklin Streets, and then in 1S50 bore the relative position to the city that Lee District does now. When the house was nearly completed there was a strike among tue men employed in its erection, and In a fit of spit the uncompleted building was burned by( them. It.was at once rebuilt, but not as originally designed. During the war the silver of many of the distinguished families hero was con? cealed in a secret cellar stil! extant in the basement At the evacuation the Jiousa was not burned, as it was too far 3is tant from the business section. In construction the huilding Is typical of the old stlye of architecture. The walls are very thick and the rooms big and lit by many windows. In the cellar is an Old-fashioned furnace, large enough to heat the City Hall and as commodi? ous as an ordinary bed chamber. It is a curio, and is said to be the only one in Richmond. "The White Horse Tavern" has settled down to a prosperous engagement of one week at the Academy of Music. It is an ideal summer attraction, being short and without long waits between acts. It Is filled with elevating comedy, and the com? pany Is seen at their best The mechani? cal affects are fine, especially the rain? storm at the end of the first act when an aged traveler, his sister and his daughter, thrown out of the tavern by the unaccommodating hostess, are caught in ? soaking rain of real James River, water, mud and all. There is a matinee this afternoon. On Friday, Decoration Day, a special mau nee will be given, when the curtain will rise at 2 o'clock sharp., This will allow the performunce to end In time for the audience to seo the parade and visit tho cemeteries. Next Monday, night Harry Bulger and a splendid company of vaudeville artists will bo seen at the Casino in "The Night of the Fourth," which play had a suc? cessful run bere last summer. Tho Wells* Dramatic Company opened Monday night at the Granby, Norfolk. The critics of that city are unstinted In,, their praise of the performance of the company in "The Charity Ball." To-night Is Petersburg night at the Academy of Music, and a large crowd from that city is expected on a special theatre train over the line of the Rich? mond and Petersburg Electric Railway. The cars will leave Seventh and Franklin Streets on the return trip promptly after the close of the performance. TEMPTING SITES OFFERED. The Continental Company to Erect a Mammouth Factory Here. The Continental Tobacco Company will erect a most extensive factory in this city and is now negotiating for a site for its location. Two sites are being offered the Conti nental Company. One comes from Mr. N. W. Bowo and is understood to be on Bowe Street, having a frontage of sev? eral hundred feet and considerable depth. Mr. L. M. Williams, either for himself or for the Seaboard Aid Line Railway, is tendering the other site. This is a lot in the valley of Shockoe creek be? tween the Seaboard and Chesapeake and Ohio tracks. It is understood that the Continental favors this lot to some extent, as it is also pleased with the lot offered by Mr. Bowe, but as it wants some concessions from the city regarding the site pro? posed by Mr. Bowe, so In reference to the other features of Shockoe creek do not please. In brief, the Continental Com? pany wants the bottom and sides of this historic stream cemented. The estimated cost is S1S.O00. Mr. "Williams went to Mr. Decatur Axtell ' yesterday to see if the Chesapeake and Ohio Company would unite with the Seaboard in -having this work done, so that the factory would be located near thefr tracks. Mr. Axtell re? ferred him to .Mi'. Stevens, the president. It is stated that the Contlnenal wishes to erect a-factory to cost $200,000, and in the mammoth building to give, employ? ment to l.SOO people.

I have been 'married twenty-eight years, and the unwritten law between my husband and myself from the first has been?no secrets between wo- two. Often some friend, wanting to tell me something, would preface it with, "This Is a great secret, and you must not tell it to any one." My reply to all such has always been the same?namely. "If it is anything my husband must not know, do not tell it to me, for I have no secrets that I keep from him." My husband follows the same rule, and has had many like experiences. From the first, through all these twenty-eight years, I have always opened and read his letters, whether on business or friendship, if he was not in the house on their arrival, and often help him open and read them is he is present. He always wants mo to open them, and would be surprised If he came home and found I had not done so. He very rarely writes a letter but he asks me to read it before sealing. He opens and read3 all my letters if I am out or away. If I am at home he hands them to me unopened; and often then, when I am busy, I ask him to open them and read to me. It is we two against the world?not anybody or anyming will be allowed to come between. What is -..e result? A happy, home-loving man and wife. , C M. G. "C. M. G>." Is not the only friend'and reader who is "grieved" by my views upon this matter of reading other peo? ple's letters. It has not occurred to ani? one of my sorrowful critics that the perfection of perfect mutual confidence asks no questions, has no curiosity to pry into another's affairs and rest con? tent in the consciousness that whatever should be confided will be told In the fullness of time. One married couple, just entering upon the forty-fifth year of their united lives, tell me that neither has ever said "From whom Is your letter?" Or, if told, "What does he or she say?" The husband car? ries his principle of absolute confidence s far that he punctllously refrains from looking at the addresses of the letters his wife gives him to mail, or at tha postmarks of those she receives. I shall ?not soon forget the prldeful love with which she wrote to me of a season of terrible anxiety through which he pass? ed, lasting for weeks, without allowing her to suspect what he was undergo? ing. "I was far from well," she said, "and the grand-hearted, heroic fellow bore my part of the b?rden with his own. Letters came and* went without exciting my sus? picions. Not until the horror of suspense was over, and happily, was I allowed to know thO;-trutb." This may be an extreme case. I give It as but one of many sides of a question that has stirred up several correspond dents' single minds to expostulation with my heterodox self. I maintain in the teeth of protests sundry and grievous that one's private letters are one's own, and that I should write few to Mary or Jane or Emma If their respective hus? bands are "to read every line I pen-for the eyes of the wives. Aletter is a "con? fidence." If anybody except the person to whom it .is addressed breaks the seal, the confidence is violated. An "open letter" may as'weU be printed. Notwithstanding the aforesaid obstinate adherence to an expressed opinion.- I frankly and even cheerfully confess the following adroitly worded exception to certain printed' words- of my own to be well taken. The, editorial pen went astray, and the guardian-angel to whom Is committed the keeping of the editorial memory slumbered for the unlucky min? uto it took me to write "Charles Reade" for "Wllkle Collins."

AU the same, if he must smoke?and thousand?? of other good and clever men do?I wish he would take cigars instead of cigarettes. I have a bad memory and weak eyes. My friends all attribute this to excessive cigarette smoking. For example, I have always been under the impression that Wiikie Collins wrote jjjia book called "Man and Wife," and I believe?though my memory may have played me false?that one of your answers in to-day's paper said that Charles Reade made a master stroke in this book.

As to the "inconveni? ent" (to borrow a word from St. Paul) travesty of mannishness indicated by "L.
