THE PKE33 AND POLITICS. The great preponderance of politico above everything else, in nearly every paper which reaches us, is very distinct f The subject' is not confined : to Jyrhkt might bo termed political "papers. and of every kind periodicals religious journals devote a largo portion of their space to the frai tfunheme.3utl seldom 'does: a paper; coino to ;hand which proYessci.toitake an independent position onVoiitics. Party and party "Interests are all absprbirigVand it'seems as iflho bollef very generally exists that a newspaper cannot live and flourish i t: without being a poll ticalT hack. iTlie great questions of the hour, sdmo; of which aQect the national vitality, are viewed from a partisan stand point and 5 dealt: with In a partisan spirit. UJ)aid tho character, niotIve37 opinions and actions of political opponents aro dragged through tho xhire of vitupcrativo con- troversy, while leaders and members of tho party in whoso interests the paper acta, are lauded beyond all bounds, .their ' very vices being torturedinto apparent v',' virtues. This condition of tho .press throughout the entire republic is highly suggestive. It marks tho tono. of public feeling, to a great extent. For though tho press may sway the popular will; it musttravelat least partially In harmony with that will, or Its power for good or evil Is greatly limited. 7 ;: ;,::) It ia but a few. years since this su- -. premacy of politics, as asubjectjof great public interest, was confined to the evo of election contests. Then, in the heat of, excited foelings, utterance was given l: to many things which In calmer moods wouldhaYObcenunsaidi and which wore willingly forgotten byairparties as tho excitement died away. Now, this; is of daily and continued occur- . jrencer The bitterest epithetsaro hurled with recklessness from either, side of contending parties, against those from whom they differ; and the wound thus mado aro kept rankling by- repeated thrusts of envenomed darts.
