The Virginia City Chronicle has a
new editor who started into the busi-
ness just as all greenhorns do, nobly
resolved to eschew personal journal
ism; but he has made the startling
discovery that it "can't be did" in vir-
GINA City, and delicately remarks:
I'VE have found that in dealing with
the foul-mouthed drunkard who edits
the Enterprise, we must train our lips
to be almost as fonl as his own"
With a little more experience that fel-
low will be tiptop editor, and may
aspire to a position on almost any of
the San Francisco dailies.

HENRY WARD BEEcHER has retired

HENRY WARD BEEcHER has retired
from the witness stand, and the inter
est in the great judicial drama is said
to have tagged perceptibly since that
event. We are not yet convinced OF
Mr.. Beecher's guilt; nor do we think
we could be by the testimony OF such
persons as Tilton, Moulton and their
coapjutors in this-we think-darlng
black-mailing scheme. But we knew
the interest of the public in the case
would continue until Mr.. Beecher had
testified, for the instinct Of hero-wor-
ship is SO strong in the breasts of the
American people that they must have
hero for an idol; and whether Beech
or is guilty or not, he is, and will con-
,inue to be, the religious hero Of this
generation, just as Grant and Sheri-
dan are its warrior heroes. Beecher's
acquittal would no doubt be looked
upon by some people as an outrage
upon justice, for some have prejudged
him; but his conviction and condemna-
ton would affect widespread de-
moralization in religious circles, and
would afford the world an ever-ready
and powerful weapon with which to
combat the claims of the church. To
abstract thinkers, of course the cor
ruption and downfall of one man, or of
many men, would not be regarded as
affecting system in the structure of
which they were but insignificant ma
terials. But as few are thinkers in
any degree, should Beecher be con-
victed, the argument which the great
mass of humanity will deduce from
the event may be summed up in about
these words: "Sincc the leading men
Of the church are as bad, and even
worse, than we are; we are as good,
if not little better, than the church
people" These arguments, with the
superadded argument that Mr.. Beech
er was as much better Christian as
he was more eloquent preacher than
the rest, the ministry, should he be
condemned, will find themselves called
on to meet and overcome. Whether
they will be able to do it or not dur.
ing this generation is doubtful, espe-
cially as others besides Beecher are
continually stumbling. !

A private letter from Boise Olty Was
received here Wednesday evening
last. from which the writer authorized
the Woa1D to copy ss follows:
This mornings paper (aatesman
gives a whitewashed account OF kel.
Ily's murderous attack on Scholl and
lis a fit issue from those penitentlary
birds. Scholl never wanted his (kel-
|ly's) dirty finger in his mouth; but
the witnesses will show this mean,
dastardly lying, to be all fabrication.
The so-called boy-really thirty
wear old man-was told to desist from
his bad design as he marched down
Main street, going to whisky up at
Lemp's saloon, where he opened his
knife and placed it into his pocket
opened and ready for use. Leaving
the street, he went through back al
ly, passing through another mans
premises, and crept in from behind,
like fit representative OF his aged
SIRE" and with slungshot and knife, as
saulted Mr.. Scholl, who was writing
on center table.
Only after Scholl had received six
stabs through the face, and on the
skull and forehead, and had his left
arm-his main strength-paralyzed by
a stab in the joint near the shoulder
blade, fighting the thirty year old boy
representative of his aged sire"
and holding his right wrist to keep
the would-be murderer from doing
more harm, and forced him To the front
door, where Mr.. Bryan took the chap
10y the collar, did Scholl release his
hold on the murderer's arm. II is "A
a dastardly he that Scholl had even "A
pocket knife or weapon of any kind.
He was entirely unarmcd There is
not a man nor woman in this town.

the aged sire" and the thirty year old
boy" A statement of Scholl's iniur.
les at the time, by the attending physi-
clans, would have sent the wretches to

press TO be pitched into the street.

] It may now be fairly assumed, W
think, that we have 9 correct outnn'
lof the facts in the above shameful q
fair. And although our original ac
count, was, as every reliable par
tioular will show, substantially cor
rect inits main features, yet there is one
correction which, in justice to Mr.
Scholl, we feel bound to make. MIR
Scholl did not enter the Statesman OF
fee as was stated in our Wednesdays
issue, but met Kelly on the street, face
to face: and it was there the alterca
ton took place by Mr.. Scholl slapplns
Kelly in the face, when Kelly ran to
his Office and told the inmates that
Scholl had attacked him by stealth,
clad in the armor of knight OF the
olden times, and armed with spear,
battle-ax, bludgeon and broad-sword;
and that he succeeded in saving his
life only by his well-knewn dexterlty
in the art of self-defensc and his supe-
rior personal courage; when in reality
his fleetness of foot saved him from an
appropriate and needed castigaton.
Mr.. Scholl's ofiense was as stated, that
the Board of which he was member
refused to employ Miss Kelly as teach
err in the public school, not deeming
her competent for the position. Milton
Kelly's offense was his persistent
abuse of Mr.. Sclloll for doing his Off
cial duty as he understood it, Homer
Kelly's otfense is that after the alter
cation between his father and Mr..
after he had raised his Bob
Acres courage to the sticking point by
lowering a quart or so of bad whisky
into his stomach, and arming himself
with knife and slungshot, he crcpt like
a cowardly assassin, as he is, into Mr..
Scholl's back door, and attacked him
with knife from behind his back
His bond was put at 81 800, instead of
