lNDEPENDENT JOURNALISM.


supporters.
Discussing Messrs. Harper & Brothers
letter concerning the recent independent
course of Harper's Weekly toward the
head of our Republican State ticket, the
Philadelphia Ledger says:
."This has the sterling ring OF indepen-
dent journalism, and if party leaders had
the sagacity that guides and advisers
ought to have, they would recognize and
conform to it. No head of an indcpen-
dent newspaper can bend his knee and
bow his head to what his conscience as
public teacher revofts against. Ne really
independent journal would hesitate to
face any emergency, even to discontinu-
ing publication, rather than debase ITS
columns in the face OF threat or protest,
for pursuing the course prescribed by its
conscientious judgment. 1t is not alone
the non7partisan papers that are indie
pendent in this sense. There are bright
and strong examples in the catalogue of
party newspapers, that are conspicuously
independent in their discussions OF party
nominations and party policy, while they
adhere to their party principles; and
these are the papers that do the very best
work for the parties whose doctrines they
advocate.
"The very poorest auxiliaries in all
newspaperdom are the organs which pipe
to the one worn-out key: 'All that ollr
party does is right and all the other party
does is wrong They have no weight
whatever. What they print is valueless;
for, beyond the lines of the thick,and-
thin party men, among the thinking
voting population, who are open to the
influence of intelligent newspaper dis
cussion, their outgoings are regarded
with the aversion and contempt which it
is not an unlikely thing such newspapers
hold for their own conduct. What they
print reaches but few of those whom it
is desirable to reach, and affects none
of the voters whose independent, intelli-
gent siltfrages sustain majorilies or trans
form them into minorities-and decide
the fate of parties, whether local, State
or National. Such newspapers are ut
terly worthless in the way of advancing
party success, yet what millions in sub
sides parties have wasted upon them.
eff party managers understood their
business as they should, they would cher
ish and encourage the papers of their re-
spective parties who criticise their pro-
ceedings and purposed nomination with
spirit of manly Independence and good
sense, telling them plainly when they are
wrong. One such is Of more value to
the party toward which it leans than a
battalion of the other sort, who go tor
the party and the party nominees, right
or wrong. But, instead of this the aver
age party leader, at the first show of III
telligent and common sense independence
in the party organ, protests and threat,
ems the Withdrawal of patronage, and
then both he and the servile organ pro-
ceed to help the party on the way to sui
eide"

A Lover Threatening Murder.
London Times


George David Morris, twenty-one, was
charged at Little Witham Petty Scs-
sions, on Friday, with threatening to
murder Miss Rosalie Potter, nineteen,
who went in fear of her life. Miss Pot
ter said she was the daughter of a retired
gentleman, and resided with her aunt at
wv House, near Witham. She had for
,merly kept company with the prisoner,
but the engagement had been broken OFT
for the last three months. In answer to
the prisoner, the prosecutrix said she had
never given her consent to marriage, but
admitted that she had gone out with the
accused for nearly three years. She first
received letter Of threatening nature
from the prisoner on August 9th, which
she, at the suggestion Of her father, sent
to her solicitor.
She received two others afterwards
which caused her to feel that her life was
in danger, and warrant was applied for.
A letter dated August 4th of the present
wear was then handed in and read as fol-
lows:
"AUGUsT 4th, 1879.
"Dear Rose--I scarcely believed you
were capable of doing what you have.
You are aware of the fact that your life
is in my hands. Although you were not
married, ] always considered you to be
my own. You have decidedly deceived
me, for which I will make you pay dear
ly. Now, Rose, dear, consider before you
leap into the arms of another, and come
back to your distressed GEORGE
"P. ST. shall be expecting to have a
note from you, if it is only to say yes or
no."
The prosecutrix continuing, said that
her father, after this letter, went and saw
the accused at his parents house.
The prisoner was then most excited,
and said old people were the cause Of
many happy marriages not taking place,
and that he did not carefor either parent.
She received two other letters of a
threatening character. In one of them
the prisoner said that he would put a
bullet through the head of Arthur Lee,
her present suitor, and afterwards put
her in her grave if he got hanged.
The prisoner said he was really truly
sorry for sending the letters, but it was
done under sudden impulse. Miss Pot
ter mad upset his mind and drove him
to say what he never intended to do.
The bench bound the prisoner over to
keep the peace for six months, and he
was liberated.

A Giant and His TailOr's Ball.
Pail Mall Gazette.I

A trial, which is stated to have caused
great amusement, came Oft in the
Brighton County Court yesterday. The
plaintiff, Mr.. Nens, is a gentleman six
feet three inches in height, and proper
tionally stout Mr.. Iven's attention was
attracted to an advertisement of a firm
of tailors announcing that they were pre-
pared to supply tweed suits at two
guineas, and he thought, as his solicitor
remarked, that a suit at that price would
not be an extravaganza, and requested
the advertiser to send an assistant to take
his measure.
When the assistant arrived the plain
tiff told him that the firm would have
rather losing bargain, to which the as
sistant replied that it would be a capital
advertisement for them, and that they
made the little ones pay for the big ones.
The plaintiffs measure was taken, and
he called to have the suit fitted, when
the principal told him that their adver-
tisement did not apply to the giants. He
afterward obtained a similar suit at an
other tailor's, and sued the defendants to
recover S., which was the difference be-
tween the price he paid and the amount
advertised by them. The Judge decided
that the defendants had made and broken
the contract, and gave Judgment for the
plaintiff Tor the amount claimed, with
costs. Probably both parties will be
satisfied. Mr.. Ivens has got his suit
and the tailors have got their advertise
ment, though not in the form suggested
by their polite assistant.

Sixty Thousand Acres la Vineyards.
GSan Francisco Bulletinl

According to the estimates of the
President of the State Vinecultural
Society, there are now 10000 acres in
California covered with vineyards. Are
there any other 10000 acres which will
produce as much in value during the
next twenty years? These $4,000, 600
vines will, in all probability, be aug
mented by as many more during the
next ten years, for it may be assumed
that the vineyard interest will be a
steadily growing one. 1t is shown that
there are $30,000,000 now invested in
vineyards in this State, including the
land.
1t is certain that the production Of
grapes is to be great industry here. II
is hardly more than two years since
many of the vineyard men were much
discouraged. There was not little talk
about digging up the vines. In some
few instances the vines were destroyed tc
make room for what was thought to be
more profitable crops. The Mission
vines, especially, were highly esteemed
But at a later day, and when there Were
signs of a revival of the grape-growing in
terest, these vineyards were considered
quite too valuable to pull up. A great
many of them were gratified with better
varieties and these will soon be bearing
Ten years hence the vineyard statistics o.
this State will be examined with more
real interest than any other which can bt
collected here.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-The pub
lished assertion that Senator Bayard is
not in accord with his party in its efforts
to repeal the bayonet law by mears OF
the amendments attached to the army
bill is entirely erroneous. In conversa-
tion with your correspondent to-day, the
Senator himself said "l do not UNDER
stand how such report could have
started. have never had but one opin-
ion on this subject. This is not ques-
tion of attaching extraneous matter TO an
appropriation bill, for this is not extrane-
ous matter. The legislation to prohibit
the use OF troops at the polls belongs
properly on the army appropriation bill
The bill approprates money to support
the army. The cost of the army depends
upon its use, and it is eminently proper
TO say in the bill how the army shall be
used. As for the political question:
the use of the army at the pols-any
opposition to that is too well known to
need reiteration. Ii | am able l shall
speak in support of the bill" 1t is GER
tain that the Democratic Senators are a
unit in support Of the bill aud will pass
it as it came from the House, without
amendment. Opinions differ as to the
probable length Of the debate, Democra
tic Senators express desire for sholt
debate. but most think it will run tel
