THE English snob who edits the New
York Times flippantly alludes, IN comment
ing on Blatchfords decision, to what he
calls judicial experiments to get control
of the persons of certain editors. In the
estimation of Jennings it is a "a judicial
experiment" to compel an editor to be a
witness in behalf OF the Government, or to
punish another editor for his crimes. This
is about as much as Jennings knows about
either law or morals. He prints Blatch-
ford's decision in full and pats Dana on the
back. Two and three years ago Dana was
the most malignant assailant in New York
Of the Times and its manager, George Jones.
He pursued Jones with pen and pencil, and
literally ridiculed him out of the clubs. But
the Englishman has induced Jones to swal-
low all this, because he is himself so vul
nerable to Dana's assaults, and because
Dana hates Whitelaw Reid, who is the per
petual red rag to the English bull. There
is no common cause between Dana and
Jennings that does not involve hatred and
abuse of somebody.
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1875-04-23

Judge Blatchford is as deliberately bribed
to render it as though he had received
Dana's check for $4,000. For the past
three years the columns of DLna's paper
have TENED with the most fulsome tiattery
and eulogy of Blatchford and his court.
NotCriCusly the court of all others in New
York most held in disrepute by members
of the bar for ''back-door practice, " Blatch-
ford has been exalted in the columns fthe
Sun as the immaculate Quotations from
Blatchford's decisions have been Haunted
at the masthead of the Sun for weeks at
time, for the qualification of the Judge per-
sonal vanity. Dana owns him as completely
as he does any personal property, and when
he needs decision or law or reason
for evading his duty or defeating justice
Blatchford furnishes it to order. He dares
not do otherwise, and any other editor in
New York can get the same accommodation
on the same terms, We shall await with
great deal of interest the action Of the Dis
trict Supreme Court upon the decision,
for it propounds question of law which
is vital to its existence.

IT Is BARELY POSSIBLE that certain jour-
mails and journalists who were quick to
join in the hue and cry against Secretary
Delano now repent their haste. The
charges against that officer rest upon the
insufficient statements of a man who
already stands convicted of lying, and
whose enmity IN this particular case is pro-
voked by the fact that Mr.. Delano has had
something to do with securing a proper
public appreciation ofhis character. For the
credit of the profession Of journalism we
are rejoiced to learn that their author is
not recognized as regular employee on
any of the journals in which the allega-
tioDs were printed. 1t is bad enough that
they were transmitted over the wires by
legitimate correspondents.
