PERSONALITIES IN POLITICS.
mobile Register.l

CMobile Register.1
The recent unfortunate and tragicaI
affair in San Francisco was the result
OF a practice that has been always too
common in American politics and
that is the personal abuse that is often
posed to him. 1t is only necessary for
a man to become an aspirant for office,
an honorable ambition in itself consid-
cred, for the hood-gates of slander to be
opened, and the tongue of defamation
to be set busily at work. While, If a
man has been dishonest, or guilty of
some offense that renders him unwor-
thy of confidence, the public should
know of it before being called on to
give him their suffrages yet In making
such an accusation, hearsay evidence
SHOULD not be accepted, and nothing
Ebntthe most positive proof can justify
such action. Especially should the
press be careful In this matter. While
it is called the palladium of the liber-
ties of the people, it is too often the
destroyer of their regulations.
That so-called spirit of newspaper
enterprise that cares nothing for injury
done to reputation or character so long
as it can present its readers with a
highly-spiced sensational article, and
injure political opponent, Is deserv-
ing of the reprobation and contempt of
all fair-minded and right-thinking
men. Many of the penny-a-liners of
the press should be made to know that
a man may differ from them in polit-
ical opinion and still be neither a
blackguard nor rascal. There is no
greater blackguard on earth than the
man who seeks to defame the charac-
ter of another for political reasons.
Now, as to the San Francisco matter,
there seems to be but little doubt that
Kalloch was an immoral man. But
the immortality charged against him
occurred thirty years ago. Why should
the stale story have been dug up to be
used for partisan purposes? We regret
to have to say that the private life of a
number of the public men of this
country could be very much improved
without making saints of them, but
except as it bears on public affairs the
people have nothing to do with it.
Especially is this the case when we re-
fleet that there are two sides to all
charges of immortality, and that the
truth of the matter Is rarely arrived at.
The evil we have spoken of is much
more prevalent in the North and West
