An Objection to Interviews.

In the HERALD to-day we reprint from the
Paris Ecfnement IN article by Mr.. Aurelien
Scholl, which he perhaps thought was the
last word the world need hear on the SUBJ
ject of interviews published in newspapers.
Mr.. Scholl is scornfulIy severe on inter-
views and interviewers. His words are. in
fact, of the kind which the late Artemus
Ward classified, with his robust photography,
as "sarkazums." But he pretends to be crit
ical as well as sarcastic, and gives mixed up
with mere ridicule much that careless read
ers may mistake Tor argument. Against
ridicule we do not of course undertake to
defend the processes of the interviewer.
interviewing can be laughed at. What cam
not? From the French Republic to the
attraction of gravitation there is no single
subject in the world that some one has not
cule but the attraction goes on just the
same and so does the Republic, and the inter-
view as journalistic institution can stand
far wittier assaults than this one. AS for the
points in this article which are intended to
present arguments against the interview,
they are ultra. homeopathic in proportion
to the whole. 1t is said that interviews are
monotonous; that they are always denied !;
that interviewers may forget what they hear !;
may misunderstood gesture; may be for
eigners and not precisely understand the
language used, and. finally, that ii they
can interview anybody they ought to inter-
view Kaiser Wilhelm. the Gear and Prince
Bismarck-all of which. by the way, they
have done. This argument is for clearness
of ideas, as will be seen, fully worthy the
writer who calls a HERALD correspondent q
s'Massachusettois."
Sometimes distinguished man wants to
get at the public and convince it. Some
times the public wants to get at the distin-
guished man to ascertain his opinions on
some topic of immediate moment in poll
tics, finance, science or what not. In all
such cases it is said by those who object to
the interview that the distinguished man
can communicate his ideas by letters or
speeches if he wants to, and il he does not
want to no is entitled to be left alone.
But If the interview merely afforded one
more line of communication between men
of peculiar knowledge or men of special
social aud political importance and the
general public there would then be much
to be said in it's favor but we hold that
its position is better than this-that it Is o
method of communication of superior value
for many cases, and in some Is the only one

Dumping the City's Refuse.

ner, but If there is no hope of that the
next best thing is compulsory reformation.
Whenever Congress passes the bill that
Senator Conkling introduced yesterday,
which iorbids the dumping of street sweep
ings and garbage anywhere in this harbor
or within five miles of Coney Island or
Sandy Hook. our Police Board will be COM
PEELED to adopt some intelligent plan to
dispose of the refuse of the city in place of
the present methods. The Secretary of
War, in his annual report, recommended
just such measure as Mr.. Conkling pro.
poses, and public opinion is unanimous in
its favor. The HEnALD's detective observa.
tions last summer concerning the shoaling
of the harbor by illegal and careless dump
ing are bearing their fruit. Such being
the state Of the case the quicker the Police
Board prepares for the changes in its
methods which this bill will make neces-
sary the better for its own comfort and for
the public convenience. 1t has timely
warming now of the necessity for such
preparation, and it will be solely its own
fault if the passage of the bill does not find
it ready with new system in working
order.

iusted on basis of laws that would render
impossible the collisions of constant occur
renee. might satisfy that supposed sense
of injury which has led to so many recent
Indian wars This wish is. we believe, vain.
Congress cannot make laws that will change
the nature of the red man or the white
man. Therefore it cannot make the
one patient under encroachments nor the
other less adventurous in his activities and
ambitions Natural forces are in collision
in this Indian problem. Swarming migra-
tions are IN motion to make rich and pros
porous States in all that Western country,
and as the Indians cannot accommodate
themselves to such neighbors it will have
to be proved to their entire satisfaction who
is the strongest. There is no other way.
Meantime the government has distinct
function which it seems disposed to per-
form fairly-that is, to keep the struggle as
much as possible within humane limits.

Now or Never.

1t is almost superhuous for the HERALD to
praise the opinions which Senator Hamp-
ton, of South Carolina, expresses to our
Washington correspondent concerning the
financial policy of the democratic party as
righteous, expedient and patriotic-right-
eous in principle, expedient for success and
patriotic by reason of the resulting certainty
OF obliterating sectionalism in national pol
itics. 1t is the same general policy
which we long have been urging upon
the democratic leaders in our desire TO
stimulate both parties to do their best for
the country. Indeed, Senator Hampton re-
fers to the editorial columns of the HERALD
for fuller exposition of his views than he
has given in the notable conversation which
We report.
circumstances have combined to offer the
democratic party sudden opportunity to
reinstate itself in the confidence Of conser-
vative Northern voters by simply resum-
ing its time honored doctrines concerning
finance and the currency. Senator Bayard
shows the solid path, and Senator
Hampton summons the party to step
into it out of the quagmire of
''soft money" business uncertainty and
sectional mistrust in which it has been
miserably foundering too many years,
sinking deeper and dirtier at every step.
simultaneously with this sudden oppor-
tunity contemplate hesitation is dis
played among the republicans to follow tho
lead of their own President and Secretary
of the Treasury. The combination of
chances and motives to persuade the demo-
Gratis into sound policy is almost miracu-
lous, and We cordially agree with Senator
Hampton's declaration that they deserve
defeat if they are not prepared to take ad-
vantage of it.
Every weeks delay to marshal the demo-
cratic Senators and Representatives under
Senator Bayard's wise and courageous lead
ership makes this extraordinary opportu.

Senator Blaine opposes Withdrawing the

to become steep over the Upper Missouri and

out all sections of the country during the early
portion OF the day, except ON the South Atlantic

To have passed over Dakota. The weather in
New York and it's vicinity to-day will be coudy

followed by rapid clearing. Tomorrow 1t will
