WASHINGTON, March. 22.-Newspapor row, as it is called here in Washington, the long row of -offices connected with prominent jouenals throughout the land, pays so much attention to Dr. Talmage they may be glad to bear what he thinks of them while he idiscusses a, ,pnbject in Which the whole country is interested. His texts today tvere," And the wheels were full. of eyes" (Ezekiel x, 12), "For all the Athenians and strangiirs which Were there spent their time in nothing olse but either to tell or to hear some new thing" (Acts xvii, 21). -What la a preacher to do when ho finds two texts venally good and suggestive? In that perplexity,I take both. Wheels full of eyes? What but the wheels of a newspaper pr nting press? Other wheels are blind. They roll on, pulling or crush- ing.

Every moment of every hour Of every ay of every month of every year there are heindreds of thousands of wheels of meehaaism, wheels of enterprise, wheels of hard work, in motion, but they are eyeless. Not so the Wheels of the printing press. Their entire business is to look and report, They are full of eptio nerves, from axle to periphery. The Y are like those spoken of by Ezekiel ae full of eyes. Sharp eyes, nearsighted, ,farsighted. They look up. They look dewia, They look far away. They take in the next street and the next hemisphere.

"And the wheels were full of eyes." But in my second teat is the world's ory for the newspaper.

' While this arrangement Would be 4 ifair and just thing for newspaper writers it would be a defense for the public. 11 18 • sometimes true that thing a damaging tO private character are said. Virho is respon- sible? It is the we" of the editorial op reportorial columns. Every man in every profession or occ yeti= ouglit to be 'e sponsible for wit, tho does.i honorer le man will ever w 'te that vSifich he wotild be afraid tossign. But thensands of p a - sons have suffere from th P impersonahtty of newspapers. hat can one private el izen wronged in his reputation do in a contest with nils epresent tion multipli d into 20,000 or 60,000 copies? An injusti e done in print is ilimltably worse than n •, injustice done in private life. During la s • of teinper a man nay gay that for whir he will be sorry in ten minutes, but a newspaper injust Co has first to be written, . set up in type, t ten the proof taken Off and read and co rected, and then for S or ten hours the resses are busy runnimlg. off the issue. Plenty of time to correet;„ ..plenty of time to cool off t, plenty of tirte to repent. But all that is hidden in e impersonality of a newspaper. It will be a long step forward when all is changed and newspaper writers get credit for the good and are held responsible for the evil. Editorial Professors.. Another step forward for newepaperdom will be when in our colleges and univensi- ties we open opportunities for preparing candidates for the editorial chair. We have in such institutions medhaal depart- ments, law departments. Whst net edi- torial departments? Do the legal and healing professions demand more ,cultiire and cateful training than the editarial'or reportorial professions? I knove men rii;ey tunable by what seems accident !Intl:), a newspaper office as they may tiimble irlito other occupations, but it would bej an in- calculable advantage if those proposing a newspaper life had an institution tie which . they might go to learn the qualifications, the responsibilities, the trials, the tempta- tions, the dangers, the magnificent oppor- tunities, of newtipaper life., Let,there be a lectureship in which there shall appear the leading editors of the United States telling the story of their struggles, their victories, their mistakes, how they worked and what they found out tb he the best way of work- ing. There will be .strong men who will climb up without such aid into 'editorial power and efficiency. So do Men cilinb up to saccess in other branches by eller grit. But if we want learned institutio s to make lawyers and artists and doctors and ministers we much more need learned institutions to Make editors, who occupy a position of infinence a hundredfold great- er. I do not put the truth too strongly when I say the Most potent influence for good on earth is a good editor, and, the most potent influence for evil is a bad. One. The best way to re -enforce and impnove the newspaper is to endow editorial pro- fessorates. When will Princeton or Har- vard or Yale or Rochester lead the way? Another blessing of the newspaper is the foundation il lays for accurate history of the time in 1w1mich we live. We for the most part b indly guess about , the ages that antedatd the newspaper and are de- pendent upon the prejudices of this or that historian. But after 100 or 200 years what a splendid opportunity the historian, will have to teach the people the leseon of this day. Our Bancrofts got from the early newspapers of this country, from the Bos- ton News-LeSter, the Now York Gazette and The American Rag Ba a d Royal Gazetteer and Independent hr niele and Massachusetts Spy and the Ph ladelphia Auorra aocounts of Perry's vi tory and Hamilton's duel and Washi ktea, 's death and Boston massacre and _ he �pprcssive foreign tax on luxuries which ted Bos- ton harbor into a teapot and Pau Revere's midnight ride and Rhode Island rebellion and South Carolina nullificatiOn.
