The "l'ress' and Bayar,l.


We would willingly forgive the dis
courtesy Of the Lancaster ISTELLIGENCEH
if its charges against this Journal in the
Bayard-Conkling matter were accompanied
by Il statement of our position in the mat
ter. This cannot be too clearly under
stood. The Press printed well-authen-
ticated r..port of Mr. Bayard's Dover
speech, exercising the usual care in the
premises. Being informed weeks afterward
and casually. at second hand, that Mr..
Rayarl denied the accuracy of that report,
it went ont of its way to offer to print his
denial in any form that he might adopt.
Mr.. Hayard dccliucd or neglected to avail
himself Of this offer. The Press simply
extended like courtesy, not offering it,
however, to Mr.. Conklin% and the other
parties to the controversy whom Mr..
Bayarl had been allowed to assail
through its columns. AS Mr. Bayard's re-
.iOinder impcachcd the report printed
by this journal, it become our duty to cs-
tablish its accuracy or admit its inaccuracy.
On this fair statement Oc the case. will Our
still esteemed contemporary await the re-
suit as between Mr.. Bayard and this jour
nal, and, laying aside partisan prcdilec-
tons, give its verdict in full view of the
evidence to be submitted :? II the Press
does not fly into a passion in the mcan-
while there is no reason why any other
journal should lose its temper.

Hurting Themselves,

The New York H,,uM and the New
York Star are at ii again, hammer and
tongs, the HrrnM trying to say every
damaging thing that it can find to say
against Kelly. and the star going on with
its revelations about the moral charac-
ter of the proprietor of the Himlh. The
public are hardly prolted 10y the declar-
atiOns of these Journals about the pro-
prietOr Of the other: nor are the news
papers themselves proiited. we would
think. Certainly it is Il very small bust
ness fora leading journal like the Herald
to exhibit itself Us prompted by personal
feeling in making an assault upon the
character of "a citizen. The Herald Sattack
upon Kelly, which it considers has served
to take from him his Office, is undOubted-
ly caused by the attacks which Mr..
Kelly and the newspapers he controls
have made upon Mr. Bennett and these
latter have been intensified and con-
tinued, again. by the way in which the
Herald was provoked to rctaliate upon
Mr.. Kelly. II is Il very poor business
for a great and a decent paper. and must
be dam aging to its influence among
thinking men. When people un.
derstand that the opinions they read
in Il journals editorial columns are
not the judgments of Il calm and impair
tial mind, but are prompted by personal
animosity they must cease to regard
hem rs of any great value. There can
he 10 doubt that the HCruid has gone
out Of it,; sphere to rake up
against Kelly every disreputable
thing il could possibly charge
him with. and that it has not been fair
or even truthful in its statements. Nor
is there any doubt that the badness of
Bennett's S morals was Improperly made
the basis of the Stars assault upon
the Herald. That papers influence de-
pends upon the soundness of its criti-
cisms and the extent to which they are
read, and not upon the sOundness of the
morals of its owner. And it is safe to
say that the Herald has damaged itself
more by its unjust and passionate de-
traction of Kelly than kelly's papers
have hurt it by their publications about
Bennett.

GONE.
Justice Strong ResiSn..

Justice Strong has rendered his
resignation to Mr.. Hayes, to take
effect Immediately. Hon. William
Strong, who is about retiring from
the bench Of the supreme court,
was born Oh May q. 1908, in SomerS. Tol-
land county, Conn, town bordering on
Massachusetts, and graduated at Yale col
lege in 1923. He then taught an academy
at East Windsor, and in Tollard, Conn, a
year in each, studying law in leisure
hours. After his admission to the
bar, he removed, in 1880. to Read
ing. Berks county, Penna., mas
tered the German language SO as to speak
it fluently, and rose rapidly to first rank
among the lawyers Of his state. In 1876
or 1841 he was elected to Congress, and
represented his district four years.
Declining denomination. he returned
then with enthusiasm to the practice Of
his profession. In 1857 he was elected to
the bench Of the supreme court Of
Pennsylvania, aposition which he resigned
in October, 1868, to return to the practice
Of the law. Two of his decisions while
on the supreme bench i'll this state
attracted great attention One OF
these was in the famous SUNDAY car
case decided in 1853 in Philadelphia, and
the other on the constitutiOnality Of the
so-called illegal tender act. In this
latter case, three Of the five judges, in
Guiding Judge Strong, affirmed the con-
stitutionality Of the act, against Judge
Woodward and one other. On Febru-
| ary Z, 1870, lie was appointed by Presi-
| dent Grant to the position of associate
justice of the supreme court nf the
United States to fill the vacancy caused
by the resignation of Judge Grier, for
| which the late Secretary Stanton
! had been nominated just before his death.
1t was freely charged, at the time of his
| appointment, that he and Justice Bradley
were selected for seats OH the supreme
court bench with the express view of thciI
voting a reversal Of the famous legal ten
der decision of that tribunal. Whether
these charges were wcll-founded or not,
Oh January 1j, 1872, Judge Strong read y
decision affirming the constitutionality OF
| the legal tender act, and Judge Bradley
concurrcd in a lengthy opinion. Judge
Strong was designated by the electoral
commission act of 1877 as one of the judi
cial members of the tri-partite tribunal
which decided the contested presidential
election of 1876. For many years Judge
| Strong has been prominent among the cor
poratc members of the American board O
