a Startling Attack Of the Free
dom of the Press.
New York Sun of Sunday.

New York Sun Of Sunday.l
Office in this country is open to
Catholics, Protestants or Israelites.
A mans religion, whatever it may be,
or his lack of religion is no legal OBJ
lection to his election to office. This
doctrine is one of the foundation
stones of our free institutions.
At the same time, while the sectari-
an views of candidate constitute no
legal impediment in the way of his
holding office, so perfect is our free
dom that voter has the same legal
right to vote for or against a candidate
on account Of his religious views that
he has to vote for or against him for
any other reason. And the right of the
press to discuss religiousquestions and
the religious belief of candidates is
just as complete and unrestricted as it
! is to discuss any other subject.
There are two grounds on which
distrust OF the Catholics has widely
prevailed among Protestants. They
relate to the free schools and the free
press. 1t has been apprehended that
! II the Catholics should obtain abso

city an attempt would follow on their
part to weaken the free schools and Ia

About 4 o'clock on Saturday even
ing the 9th inst, Mr.. l.. S. Woodward,
venerable Texan of three score years
and ten, with his daughter, in a wagon
drawn by two mules, attempted to
cross the international railroad, about
ten miles north of Austin, when, to
his terror and astonishment, Just as
the mules were fairly on the track,
the locomotive dashed by on a dswn
grade, cutting off and taking with it
one ofthe wheels of the wagon, the
tongue and the two mules, but leaving
MIR. woodward and daughter behind
unhurt. As soon as he could the con-
ductor stopped the train, found both
mules dead, inquired the names Of
the uniortunates, promising to make
it all right, came on to the city and
reported the accident. Major Hoxie
who represents the International rail
road company, called to pay the dam

saying. "0ne hundred and seventy

per referred to- is the New York

That journal saw fit, with great dig
nifty and entire decency-indeed, in

disapproVe OF the nomination Of Mr..
Grace and to discOuntenance his cleo
tion. Its arguments did not convince
US, clear aud ably put as they were;
but VIC cannot see how any American
who has ever read the constitution Of
the United States and the constitu.
ton Of the state of New York, and
who is imbued with the free spirit OF
these great charters Of liberty, could
for moment question the right of a
public journal 10 say all that the Her
aid has said.
But what do we sec as the result?
One Of Mr.. Kclly's two daily papers
retorts by a most savage personal at.
tack on the proprietor Of the Herald
by reviying a filthy slander against
him which was first visited upon him
more than ten years ago. 1t consists
OF the papers on the plaintiffs side in
a most extraordinary legal proceeding
"a civil suit for damages, claiming
$4,000 foran alleged outrageous as
sault.
As we have said, extraordinary in-
deed, on the plaintiffs own showing,
the case is. She waited in the house
after the alleged offense was commit
ted until it was repealed-waited seven
months before she brought her civil
action for damages-never procured
an indictment--and for oven two years
after she had been twice assaulted she
remained in the same family where
the alleged offenses had been COM
mitted
Could there be a clearer, stronger
or more odiOus odor of blackmail than
arises from the papers Of the plaintiff
herself, without waiting to hear from
the defendant?
This cannot be regarded as an at
tack upon the New York Herald
alone, 1t must be looked upon as an
attack upon the liberty of the whole
American press.
But the important feature Of the
matter is its public aspect. Is it to be
understood that every journal in this
city that sees fit to disapprove of the
election Of a candidate of particular
faith to Office is to be silenced by
some means, however atrocious, how
ever foul?

ty. No column of the morning paper
is more keenly furnished with news
than that which announces the arrival
of Austrian, Russian or English
princes. Now, it happens that there
resides in Paris a gentleman who bears
as striking resemblance to the Prince
of Wales as the brothers whom Mr..
Irving personates at the Lyceum bear
to one another. This Parisian has
been the involuntary cause of many
uniounded announcements. 1t is
known that the visits of royalty are
often incognitio, and so a prince may
arrive in Paris without the wooted
formalities of the embassy and
the court, At the present mo
ment, when the English papers an
nounce that the Prince of Wales is in
Scotland, almost the whole French
press has congratulated Paris on the
arrival of the heir to the crown. News
of this kind is so eagerly caught up by
the French journalist that it is easy to
see how the blunder once made should
be repeated, and by repitition gain a
kind Of authority. At the time Of the
Goodwood races this Partisan of the
house of Guelph happened to be seen
driving in the bois, and it actually
happened that a paper which devoted
an article to the account Of the race,
and mentioned who formed a part of
the princes suite in the royal box, had
another column stating the fact of the
mysterious visit to Paris, and remark
ing upon the significance that the
French minister was requested not to
pay any visit to the illustrious stran-
ger. The Partisan himself must be
amused at the amount of newspaper
inezactitnde Of which he is the occa-
sion.

retary OF state, Broadwell, republican,

republican, 1900; the five counties
outside of the city belonging to his
district will probably give Claldy,
democrat, between 5000 and 1000
majority, which will elect him by per-
haps $500 majority. The Second dis
trict gives Thomas Allen, democrat,
between $500 and 1000 majority. The
Third district is very close, and will
probably require an official vote to
settle it. Sessinghaus, republican,
has about $50 majority in the city
precincts, but the eight precincts in
the county will probably give Frost
enough to elect him by from 80 to 100
votes Of the city tickets, Republicans
elect Mason, sheriff, by about HOO
