THE PRESS OF THE COUNTY. What a power there is in that simple word — the press. Although but of re- cent birth it is the grand instrumental- ity of our grander civilization. It is the mighty power that has stamped its mark upon the age, and leaves its im- print upon our everyday history. The influences of it are felt to-day, and go "thundering down the mighty corridor of time" to ages yet unborn. No other engine of our later civilization exerts an equal force with it — not even the pulpit or th...ejbar — for is it not both these combined, with its own sphere besides? The messenger of the gospel truth rises in his place upon the Sabbath day and discourses of his subject to a few hundred at the most; on the follow- ing morning the press, reproducing the the thoughts, spread it throughout the length and breadth of our fair land, to be discussed by all. The attorney at the bar of justice, pleading the cause of some client arraigned before its stern front, utters the thrilling appeal that loosens the bonds and lets the unjustly held prisoner go free, or, with God-like eloquence fastens the guilt upon the criminal, and, with scathing, burning words, crushes down the brazen front of hardened crime.
