interference on such an occasion as much as
any one can, but there are few fair r-minded
men of either political party who will under
take to deny that there was good reason for
the action of the United States authorities
on that occasion, and that in the case of New
York the presence of large military force
will do more to secure fairer election in
that city than has been held for years
than any course that could be adopted.
The law passed by Congress at
the last session made it the duty
of the President to do all in
his power to protect every voter in his right
of suffrage, and to insure a fair election
wherever United States officers were to voted
for; and it needs no argument to prove that
the only way the President can do this in
New York is by adopting exactly the course
that he has The Democrats know as we'll as
we do that the military will not interfere to
prevent any voter of their party from ap-
preaching the polls and depositing his ballot
in quiet and orderly manner and if. they
can win the election by fair means they will
be permitted to reap all the fruits of it without
opposition.
It is because the Democrats fear to trust
iuf oiectioh, leSt Iuey Suoulu De OVertnroHu,
that they clamor against the action
of the President in providing a military
force for the purpose of preventing
the usual scenes of fraud and violence; and
even if the President were not fortified by
positive law of Congress, the law-abiding
citizens of the country would thank him
for stretching his authority to aid the decent
people of New York to free themselves from
the Democratic outlaws who have made the
government of that city one of the greatest
scandals of the age. Desperate diseases re-
quire desperate remedies, and the govern
ment of New York has been reduced to that
condition that the rufianly class have COM
pletely obtained the upper hand, so that the
presence of a military force of sufficient
strength to prevent riot and to enable the
election to be really An expression of the will
of the people, is thing that respectable
people have occasion to be thankful for.
We object to seeing a military force in
attendance upon election day, because it is
humiliating to think that there should be a
necessity for it, and because it sets q bad pre-
cedent; but it is simply laughable for the
Democrats to pretend to believe that because
the President has taken the course he has for
the execution of the laws and for the protec-
ton of citizens in their most sacred rights,
he has sinister designs upon the liber-
ties of the country, and that these are
the first steps towards a military despotism
with Grant as dictator. Our liberties are in
far more danger from the decentralization of
our party politics that enables the worst men
in such communities as Philadelphia and New
York to obtain the most important offices OF
trust and honor than they are from all the
soldiers that Grant or any other President
can command, and in New York, especially, il
is high time fair election was held, even if
it has to be done under the guardianship OF
the bayonets Of United States troops.

THE MODERN NE WsPApER.

ONE of the essays read before the Social
Science Association was the production of
Hon. George A. Yeaman, of Kentucky, the
present Minister of the United States at
Copenhagen, who chose for his theme 'The
Press: It's Relations and Influences" This
essay is conceived in the spirit of DIR. Rushs
condemnation of the ''disjointed thinking"
of the daily newspapers, and its author dis
plays remarkable degree of ignorance of
the subject he is discussing, as we'll as a total
lack of comprehension of what the press is
and what it does. He alleges that
''minds of the highest culture de-
rive no benefits from, and seldom
occupy themselves with, newspaper reading"
and as he probably fancies that he is dis
tinguished representative of this exalted
class, we presume that he rarely condescends
to read the news of the day, or to learn the
true character of the journals which he con-
demns. We cannot easily account in any
other way for his assertions that all newspaper
writer's chain themselves to mediocre level,
and that editorial thinking is almost invari-
ably superficial or false. Mr.. Yeaman is
unable to comprehend that the modern news
paper is thing of the day and for
the day, giving on current topics information
and reflections thousand times more accu-
rate, extensive, and correct than those placed
within the reach of the masses of the people
before newspapers were established The
leading idea of his essay, so far as it en-
bodies any idea whatever, is that the press
deserves condemnation because it does not
in addition to the great duty of keeping the
public we'll apprised of all events of general
interest, instruct them in ancient lore and
tell them many other things in which
sage students only are interested. He has no
right to expect that corps of writer's who
are numbered by the thousand, and who have
no time to elaborate their productions, shall
equal in talent the masters of literature who
can be counted, through course of centuries,
by the dozen, and who devoted years of per-
sistent effort to their best works. 1t is silly
to denounce the press for its inability to
summon Socrates and Homer into every
sanctum, or to expect that hurried
comments will be characterized
by the profundity that is born of prolonged
thought and careful study. Besides, Mr..
Yeaman is apparently unconscious of the
marked improvement, in many respects, of
modern journalism; and'while he complains
that the masses fall under inferior leadership,
he should contrast the opportunities for en-
lightenment now possessed by the average
newspaper reader with those placed within
the reach of men who are dependent for their
knowledge of politics to peripatetic stump.
speakers, and for their familiarity with the
news of the day to vague rumors or dis
| jointed oral communications.
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1870-10-28

contrary-the city is clearly responsible, and
if suit was to be brought
much larger sum than $500 could in
all probability be recovered. The
city is bound to make good the loss in this
case, as it is in every case of property de-
stroyed by riot, but there is a double respon-
sibility inasmuch as this particular loss was
occasioned by vicious system that exists by
authority of the city. Whatever might have
been the advantages of the volunteer Fire
Department in times past, it is very evident
that Philadelphia has now outgrown them,
and that we need more perfect organization
that will be under the control of the NUM-
cipal authorities in manner that the pre-
sent department never can be. Councils have
shown a commendable desire to give this
subject the attention il deserves, and to or
ganize a paid Fire Department upon a
proper basis at as early a
day as possible. If anything were
needed to quicken their action and to de-
monstrate the necessity for a change it would
be such demand as that made in the COM
munication referred to. If the city is obliged
to pay bill of damages whenever the volun-
teer firemen choose to amuse themselves with
riot, those who are opposed to change in
the system of extinguishing fires, or are indif-
ferent to it, will very shortly be inclined to
other opinions. With regard to the bill for
damages for the riot of October 9th, we are
only thankful that it is no larger than it is,
for from the manner in which some of the vo-
lunteer firemen have been acting of late, it is
remarkable that claims of the most extensive
character against the city have not been pre-
sented.

MILITARY INTERFERENCE
Il Z


THE Democrats of New York are in terri
BILE state of wrathful excitement over the
now assured fact that there will be large
force of United States soldiers in readiness
on election day for the purpose of presery-
ing order and of protecting every citizen,
without regard to color, race, or party, in the
free exercise of his right of suffrage. The
interference of the marines, by order of
Marshal Gregory, at our own election, few
weeks ago, was SO sudden and unexpected
that, with the exception of the silly and i'm
potent protest of the Mayor, who had proved
himself either unwilling or incompetent to
protect the negro voters in the Fifth ward,
the Democracy did not have a chance to give
voice to its indignation until the whole affair
was over. Since then, however, the Age has
been lamentjng over the prospect of our
liberties being overturned by military
President, and its lamentations and those of
the New York World and Iother organs of the
''unterrihed" have been changed to shouts of
wrath at the absolute certainty that the same
experiment will be tried upon a much larger
scale in New York on the Sth of November
next, in case the Democrats undertake to re-
sort to their usual methods of securing the
political control in that city by fraudulent
voting and driving their opponents from the
polls.
AS we said with reference TO the appear
anoe of the marines in the Fifth ward on our
own election day, We deprecate any military
