If newspuper men were " up to snuft"," like doctors and dentista, they would get up a "code of ethics" by which not a mention of a man's business would be permissible without its equivalent in cash. The columns of a newspaper are the stock in trade of their proprietor, and when tliey are given away, just ro much 8olid cash is given out of the proprietor's pocket. Men who would scorn to ask a cent of an editor will complacently ask bil for what is JU91 the same, free advertising. And for this state of affairs editora are largely to blame themselves. Thcy need reform in this respect, and need it bad. l'robably iio unimportant case ever attracted more attention thau that of Emory Hurst tried in the circuit court last Saturday on a charge of stealiiiír a bat from Blitz & Lnngsdorfs store. Hurst U i a colored man, and claiined that he took tlie hut by miHtakc, leaving his own, a comparatively new one, in the place of the one taken. The court appointed John V. Shechan to defend the prisoner and he was ably assisted by Tlios. D. Kearney. It was the boys' first case, and they tried it for all it was worth, bringinjr out every point favorable to the accused. Mr. Sheehan made an eloquent plea, containing so much good sense, that the jury was not out but a few minutes before returning a verdict of "not guilty." .Tiiia was too much for the suppressed eBtbntlam of the boys' friends wlio liad packed the court room to hear tlie trial of the case, and in spite of Sheriff" Walsh's rigoroui etlbrts to suppress them they had to give one round of applause. Prosecuting Attorney Norris considera it "onu horse on hiui," as gome of the sports term it, and tliinks the jury must have been packed agaiust him. Shouldn't wonder a bit. The farewell sermons of Dr. Haskell was üiven last Sundav at the Baptist church. The rostrum was beautifully decoruled witli plants, llowerg, and a line likeness ot' the late I'rof. Olney. The mueic, 8ome of it iu quartetts and duetts was very well rendured, and in the evening a choir of 14 voiees, assisted by a fine orcliestra. Tlie Doctor gave a concise statement of hls 41 years' pastorate in Detroit, Kalamazoo, and Ann Arbor. Darlng 11 this long period lic had never been on a bed of ickness. This church was established in this city in 1828, Daniel B. Brown and wifu Ix-Ing among its tirít memben; it has been a feebleone bot h in nuuibers and wealth, bat during the 17 years of tlie Doctor1! pastorale it lias aocomplished wonders, botli In iucrease and prospci ity. Wlien tlie present beautlful church edilice was completed at a costof $30,000 it was all paid for, and what is still more retnurkable durinji these 17 years this cliuich bas raistd for different purposes $08,000, whieh cn be largely attributed to the untlring Jhristian zeal of the lamented Prof. Olney, of whom Dr. Haskell spoke in tlie most éndesrlng tenas. In the eveniug the Doctor gave a sliort history of the sevcral pattON, cominencing GO years igo, i" tl'1' following order: Hevs. Clark, Twist, Miller, Comstock, Allen, Onives, Gregor, Corneliuis Hurton, and the present pastor. Souie of tlie inli.iten ere and afttrwards became men of note, as professors in colleges; one a inember ol congress, and anolher liolding a high trust in tliis state and afterwards n the U. 8. Government. Dr. Haskell's long and faithful labors among hls people has secured him a warm and lastlng friendship as as well as the high esteem of a host of friends outside of hls ehurch.
