THE CONSPIRACY OF THE AS.
ISOLATED PRESS.
The Pending Danger to Popular In
stitutiOnS.

- 49,
lows We are seeking to divert public
attention from the true issues in
volved in the contest which now
comes before the California Legisla-
ture for consideration and adjust
ment. We ask the reader to read,
and judge for himself whether this
be true.
The Western Union Telegraph
Company is solicitous for the per-
petua.ion in Its own hands of the
control of the vast system of culling
out. coloring and telling all the news
that gets told to Forty Millions of
people. In other words it is s.ruggl-
ing to retain a corner on tie every
day brain food of the country.
The said company occupies all the
sources which feed the great stream
of current information, and can i'm
pregnate it with whatsoever tints
and favCrs It's whims or interests
may suggest.
By this means it can poison the
very well springs of public opinion.
The having of this great. immeas-
,irable power, and the keeping of it
these are its aims.
Its means OF accomplishing these
results are
First, 10 have and to maintain a
common clnec with the Press;
Second, To assist the Press in |
making itself at once the creator and |
censor of public opinion.
Third. To forestall public judg-
ment concerning men and things by
sxing such q character upon public
men and motives IS shall promise
the most efrectually to impair tas
popular sense OF confidence in the
representatives Of all organized po-
li:ical bodies.
Finally. To erect upon the ruins
Of I'll parties 4 press oligarchy whose
nutriment itself shall furnish, whose
power none may have the temerity
TO dispute, and whose influence shall
lie supreme.
Ali this vast accumulation of
power to be vested IN the hands OF :.
President Orton Of the Western
Union Telegraph Company, ST.
monitor, the official polluter Of the
news streams of the country, and
Two or three dozen of newspaper
conductors Of the character and
calibre of Sam Bowles of the Spring
field Republican, Horace White of
the Chicago Tribune, Whitelaw Reid
of the New York Tribune, James =
Anthony of the Sacramento Union,
J. Kenyon Fitch of the San Fran
cisco Bulletin and Joe Goodman OF
the Territorial Enterprise.
These are the powers that denounce
every man whom the people have
chosen to Pit in office regardless of J
the dic.ation Of tie Press. Their
plans of operation are insidious and
effective:
They denounce the convention !.
system, and applaud every deserter l
who bolts the action of caucus in
whose deliberations he was partici-
pant. They do this after having
pers;stently striven to create the I'M
Just public opinion of the public's II
self, that all gatherings of the peo- f
ple's representatives are, I''imo facir, b
gatherings Of dishonest men, bent a
upon cheating the public of its pur- f
poses and intentions.
It is the unvarying custom OF these
to denounce all pollti-
clans as theincarnation of political
villainy. and arrogate to themselves
the sole possession of n purity of :

"DIED" FOR LOVE.

AN amusing story is told, as an episode
in a story in a foreign review, about a mill
tary young gentleman who died for love.
The affair occurred in Paris.
The hero was named De Marsay. He
was violently enamored off pretty woman,
whom he met by chance in the street, and
discovered afterwards to be the wife of a
" dyer" in the Rue de Marais. Whether
she was disposed to favor lis addresses, or
acted in concert with her husband to pun
ish him, is not very easy to say the result
would incline to the latter supposition.
At all events, she gave him a rendezvous,
at which they were surprised 10y the dyer
himself-a fellow strong as Hercules and
of an ungovernable temper.
He rushed wildly on De Marsay, who
defended himself for some time with his
rapier a false thrust, however, broke the
weapon at the hilt, and the dyer ~springing
forward, caught poor Gustave round the
body and actually carried him off over his
head and plunged him neck and heels into
an enormous tank filled with d~ye-stuff!
How he escaped drowning, how be is
sued from the house and reached home, he
never was able to tell.
1t was more than probable the conse-
quence of the calamity absorbed and obli-
terated all else; for when he awoke next
day he discovered that he was totally
changed, his skin, from head to foot, being
dyed a deep blue! 1t was in vain that he
washed and washed, boiled himselfin bot
baths, or essayed a hundred cleansing
remedies nothing avalled in the least in
