The Gazette has the largest cir-

The Newspaper of the Future. _
In nothing does the distant past dif-
fer more conspicuously than ~ in the
newspaper of to-day. In the earlier
files of the GAZETTE, at the dawn of the
present century, for weeks and men the
in succession, there is not to be found a
line which can with any sort of propri-
ety be designated as an Editorial. This
was a fashion of that remc'nte time. The
paper was filled with news items alone.
,Then followed in about the thirties and
forties a period when heavy and club
crate editorials one to two columns
long appear with great regularity. It
was the fashion of the time, and it
broUght to the Editorial assistance of
the old GAznTTu. such names as Willis-
ton Benedict, l‘imothy ’I‘. Merwin, Rev.
Edwin Hall, Thomas B. Butler, .Orris
S. Ferry and other writers of renowned
ability. It is interesting to note the
frequency with which profound and
lengthy Editorials appeared on,‘subjects
entitled European. Indeed a large
proportion of the news published each
week was of matters that had" tran-
spired across the ocean and from three
to six months old at that. There seems
to have been a special taste and appe-
tite for transatlantic happenings.
When the war of the Rebellion come
there was an end of lengthy Editorials
in almost every newspaper throughout
the country. Then fell upon us all a
raging hunger. for news; news from
and about the army and all akin to the
frat-ricidal strife, and rarely have we
since seen the old time one, two and
three columns Editorials. In this pres-
ent day of haste and rush, the average
reader cares not a fig for the more
opinions of the Editor no matter how
ably or forcefully expressed. It is the
news and news onlv that he craves.“
The average newspaper reader wants to
know each day before he séeks'his pil-
low for sleep, all that has transpired of
importance throughout the whole in- .
habitable world. and indeed no adult or
school child to-day, can be deemed to
be well educated and well and intelli-
gently trained, who is not posted as to
all of serious importance that occurs
upon this globe of ours.
In this condition of things the mere
Editorial has lost its power to either
load, interest or instruct. People read
facts and occurrences and then think for
themselves and form their own opin-
ions and do not accept as of yore as a
matter of course the views of the press
or the person or teacher. Perhaps it is
as well. It certainly shows progress in
intellectual power and general intellia
gence. There has, in recent years,
been a great 'advancc also in individu-
ality and personal independence of
thought and action. It is for these rea-
sons tho GAZETTE has of late copied so
frequently the best thoughts of the ab-
lest thinkers of the American press,
rather than waste space in urging upon
the reader’s attention the mere opin-
ions of its own corps of writers.
Under our caption of “The Newspa-
per of the Future” Henry Appleton,
writing in the “N ewsman” expresses
these broad and radical opinions, and
notes certain indications pointing to
the early disappearance of one of the"
most important functions and features
of the daily paper—editorial discussion
and advocacy of particular views.
“The three-fold function of the news-
paper,——that of the news-gatherer, ad-
vertiser, and editorial teacher, has
been preserved without very serious dis-
turbance during its previous career;
but there are indications that this last
function will sooner or later become
divorced and part company with the
other two.” The newspaper will fi-
nally become a Newspaper,—that, and
nothing more. That. says Mr. Apple-
ton, was its original purpose. and the
sooner it gets back to it, the better it
will be for publishers, and the better
for truth and genuine opinion~making.
Editorial opinions are coming to have
less and less weight with the public; it is
generally felt that they are merely ar-
tificially prepared sentiments made to
order .and dictated in the counting-
rooms.
The newspaper is essentially a com-
mercial enterprise, — the preparation
and putting upon the market of some-
thing to sell. It is of the sam's nature
as an ordinary merchant’s. The .rule
in every well-regulated shop is that the
clerks shall not discuss religion, poli-.
tics or any disputed topic with the cus-'
tomers. Where the editorial depart-
ment of a newspaper enters into the
enterprise. the commodity offered for
sale is opinions; and a constituency is
therefore presumed to be in the market
who are willing to pay for seeing the
opinions in print. But the fact is that
no paper limits its solicitation of trade
to any special constituency. It solicits
advertisements from all classes ; and in
various other ways appeals to all class-
es. EditOrials which please only one
classand displease many others are a
drawback to the paper, without being
an advantage to the reader.
The Borough Cierkship.
The unhappy controversy raging be-
tween two of our local jurists, one of
whom is reputed to be heir to a decent
fortune, and the other whose profes-
sional income soars among the thou-
sands, over a $500 clerkship is liable to
be misrepresented by those of serious
turn of mind, who do not thoroughly
understand the situation. Neither of
these two estimable gentlemen are
struggling for the spoils of office ; they
are but striving to settle a disputed
legal question ; to blaze a pathway
through the trackless forests of juris-
prudence as it, were. Wheever suc-
ceeds in establishing his claim it is un-
derstood. stands pledged to donate his
entire salary to "The Society for Pro-
viding Watering Troughs for Thirsty
Bull Dogs.”--—chet charity, therefore
'wins whichever way the cat jumps.
We are glad that all selfish, sordid and
base motives have been thus nobly
eliminated from this dispute ; and that
the contention is one for pure, unadul~
terated principle and not for base, sor-
did dollars. Such disinterested con-
duct almost qualifies them to take the
“ anti-spoilsmen degree” in some Mug-
wump Lodge. There is, however, a
unique phenomenon connected With
this little affair which will make the
world bowl with delight ;—there are no
unhappy clients in this case to be
fleeced to the bare skin, shaved to the
bone or flayed alive; each contestant
is his own lawyer and each lawyer has
himself for a client. , In view of these
pleasing and hitherto unprecedented
circumstances, the whole world will sit
calmly by and await the final clash of
forensic arguments and arms, and the
Borough tax payers, with feelings akin
to that of the Backwoods dame, who
seeing" ambei‘i‘fcfifsi'fig her husband
around a hicko'fy tree, exclaimed in en-
thusiastic glee : “Go it husband, go it
hear; I don’t care a durn which licks.”

About County Commissioners.
The Republicans, samm..dispatch-.., _
from Hartford. have practically deci-
ded upon what action to take with ref-
erence to the County. commissioners.
They will propose that, in exact accord
with the theory of Governor Morris,
as outlined in the latter’s inaugural ad-
dress, it be agreed that the Democrats
shall elect two county commissioners
in all counties where the Democratic
ity in the recent election, the Repub
iicans electing one commissioner, and
that in all counties where the Repub
licans had a plurality two Republicans
and one ' Democratic commissioner
If the Democrats refuse to accede to
this proposition, the Republicans will
refuse to elect county commissioners
and thus the governor will be called
upon to appoint three commissioners
in each of the eight count-es, said com-
missmncrs to hold office until the next
session of the general assembly.

Birth-Day.
A pretty little birth-day observance
was had last evening at Grace Church
Rectory in celebration of the fourth
year of the Rector’s little girl
Mary. The fond Mamma had provided
the proverbial frosted cake and four
tiny candles to note the few fleeting
years, while the child’s delight and en-
thusiasm were wrought to the highest
pitch, though in no degree realizing
all there was to the parents’ hearts, in
the joy and hope and mystery of the
four completed ye are of the young life
given to their keeping. Little Miss
Mary is somewhat noted in her way.

cinating Paris, lifted her blue eyes
with the tints of heaven, to the ice
crowned peaks of Mont Blanc, rid-
den over the mountains and through
the sequestered valleys and skimmed
over, the smq-uth surfaces of Switzer-
land’s romantic lakes, toddled about
the parks and overcrowded streets of
dingy London. and last though- by no
means least, returned and settled down

George Hofman Dead.
George Hofman died at the American
Hotel on Main street, at 12.30 o’clock
this morning. He was a son of John
Hofman, about twenty-five years of
age and employed at Buckley’s Rubber
factory. He was taken sick last week

been boarding for some time past. Dr.
Huntington was summoned and found
that young Hofman was suffering from
congestion of the lungs. He prescribed

peared to be Worse and failed rapidly

denly awoke and springin up in bed

going to kill you first,” and suiting the
action to the word he grabbed his
father by the arms, and in so doing

a very exhaustive inquiry into the sub-
ject of the electric trolley cars and
publishes the result. It is instructch
to see how many there are who favor it
and how few oppOse it. And it is
laughable to see how ridiculous some
of the objections to it are. The changes
on the danger from overhead wires and
leaking currents have been rung so of-
ten thatthey are aggdgnd hoary chest-
nuts, Without awparticle of meat in
them. So one prominent citizen, who
was interviewed, and who had been
seeking something new against the sys-
tem. raised the objection to the over-
head Wires that the shadows would
frighten horses. When the progress of
a City is obstructed by such chimerical
conditions as this it is time for the city
to buy a good sized cemetery and bury
itself. —Ansonia Sentinel.

BROKER AN_D_Hl_l_l HE OUT.
Such is the Startling Rumor
Whispered in Albany.
THE LATTER 'SAID T0 RESENT
THE CRITICISM; ' ,
0f the ” Boss ” at His. Interference
for Murphy.
I ‘_——_— ' .
ALBANY, N. 11., Jan., 12.— Men are
whispering the startling rumor to each»
other in Albany that“.Boss" Croker and
Senator Hill are “out.” The caustic
criticism made by the Tumma'ny leader on
the Senator’s presence and vscticirdur-
ing the meeting of the Electoral - Col-
’ loge has not been forgotten.
It is asserted that Mr. Croker repeated
his condemnation to several 'p‘Oliticai
friends at the Governor’s reception and
said bluntly that Hill had done the
Democratic party a deadly injury. How-
ever this may be, it is certain that the ,
machine magnates have had a serious
difference among themselves. A promi-
nent Democratic Senator said boldly that
the leaders objectedto the interference of _
Senator Hill in their plans and resented
his coming here to run things according
to his own rule or ruin ideas.
His neglect to consult with his former
associates in party management was
looked upon as an insult. It was not
considered wise policy to treat Gov.
Flower as amsn of secondary importance
in the presence of Democrats from all over
the State. The Go'vernor’s position and
Well known ambitions make him a man
whose good will is to be desired by the
machine and whose ideas it cannot well
afford to despise.
“Look at the condition of things to-
day,” said the Senator, “and you can
readily see that Croker, McLaughlin,
Murphy and Sheehan are the ‘big four’ of
the party.
“In this Legislature Mr. Hill cannot
controlasingle Senatorial vote without
their assistance. Nor do I think he could
control more then half a dozen members
of the Assembly. His own county of
Chemung is represented by a Republican.
“I am certain,” he continued, “that Mr.
Croker has been thoroughly incensed by
Senator Hill’s recent action. Croker is
for peace for his own sake. He helped
Murphy through solely from friendship
and with an idea that the differences
threatening the party on account of Mr.
Cleveland’s utterances could eventually
be overcome. .
“It is certain that ii: the event of a rup-
ture between Senator Hill and Mr. Croker
that Murphy will side with the Tammany
leader. Everybody knows that would be
good policy and it is the only thing he
can safely do.”
How far the resentment of Mr. Croker
toward Senator Hill is likely to go no one
cares to predict, but it is taken for grant-
ed among the politicians here that the
big combination has been broken by the
very bomb that the Senator cast into the
Electoral College.
They are already figuring that New
York, Kings, Erie and Rensselaer will
make a strong showing in the next State
conventions and that they can easily con-
trol it whether Senator Hill says so or not.
They also believe and do not hesitate
to say that Mr. Murphy will refuse to be
made a tool of by his associate in the
United States Senate.
MILLIONS FOR PENSIONS.

of the Coming Year.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.— Commissioner
Baum of the Pension Bureau appeared
. yesterday before the sub-committee of
the House Committee . of Appropriations,
which is preparing the Pension Appropri-
ation bill. The original estimate made by
the Commissioner was $165,000,000. A
subsequent estimate made to the Appro-
‘priations Committeeafew days ago placed
the amount at $172,000,000. He was asked
as to the reason of the increase, and ex-
plained his former figures by sayingthst
' he had presumed a. new Administration
would not do as much work as his had
done, but admitted it it did not allow as
many pensions $172,000,000 would be
needed. ,
