PERSISTENCY.

Last spring, a bright-eyed, pretty
girl of sixteen made her way into the
presence of Secretary Sherman and said:
"Mr Sherman, l have come here to
get place
There are none vacant" was the
reply.
81 know you can give me place if
you want to, and | think | am as much
entitled to it as anybody. My father
spent his life in the United States army,
and when he died he left nothing. The
responsibility of the family is on me,
and think | have got as good claim
as any one else on the government"
"What kind of place do you want p
81 don't care what it is, but | must
have work at once"
Mr.. Sherman assured her that there
were ten applicants for every one place,
and that there was very little chance.
She very deliberately told him that such
an answer would not do, and declared
that if he would allow her she would
come up every day and black his shoes,
if he couldn't do better for her. The
Secretary was struck at her determina-
tion and charmed by her brig ght face and
her sprightly manner. He told her to
come back again. In less than a week
she had good place in the treasury,
which she still holds. Every morning
she walks to the department with the
step of little business woman who is
proud that her delicate little hands can
be the support of others. She receives
SlOO month, and supports in comfort
her mother and sister. This brave,
bright young woman is Miss May Ma
cauley, formerly of Atlanta, and her
father was a lieutenant in the 18th
infantry. O.

paper publisher giving a fair inn
partial report of an examination of
a trial or OF prOceepings at u public
meeting, at once becomes RESPONSE
bic for the libelous testimony of
witnesses or utterances of speakers.
The fact of publication is consid-
cred to carry with it the element of
malicious motive, and the burden
of proof is thrown on the defend
ant. True, neither The Courts nor
people favor these kinds OF prose-
BUTTONS, but they are often a source
of annoyance, nevertheless. Pub
lishers are frequently prosecuted
by shyster lawyers through malice
or the hope of gain. The Los Au-
geles EXPRESS, an able, honest and
fearless journal, that is credit to
the southern part of the State, has
suffered ia this way. In one Of its
late issues we find the following:
GA brief1ess practitioner, who Is now
himself a publisher in San Fran
cisco, took umbrage at US and daily
scanned the columns of our paper
to find some slip in 1t which could
be construed IA libeious. The PO-
lice Court reports furnished him
a rich mine for carrying out his pc
culiar tactics, snd when he found
that some direputable person ac-
cused of whipping his wife, or of
committing petty larceny, could
not be convicted, he would get up
case of libel against us, aud put
US to trouble and expense" No in
dividual or public right WAS vindi.
Gated by this sort of prosecution,

The Abuse of Interviews.
lR1golO, in New York Sun |

There is no part of American
journalism which has been more
abused than the work Of the inter-
viewer. No matter what may be
the topic of interest with the pub
lie for the time being, there must
always be certain persons who
know more about it than any jour-
nalist can. The public do not care
to know what newspaper man
thinks of some great legal or med
ical case, but the opinions of
famous lawyers and physicians
make most interesting and in
structive reading. When the topic
under discussion touches the pock-
cts of the public, there is further
element of interest in knowing the
opinions of the persons best in
formed upon financial and COM
mercial affairs. Unfortunately in
such cases the experts in stocks,
grain, cotton or sugar cannot be re-
lied upon; for, even without their
Wishing to misrepresent facts, their
opinions are biased by the interest
which they have in the markets.
For instance, 1t would be difficult
to find o member of the Hannibal
and st. 10 pool who would confess
that that stock was not worth par,
although, if he be q man of ordin-
airy common sense, he must know
that such is the case. Therefore
the views OF Messrs. Gould, VAN
derbilt, or Sage on finance are not
as valuable rs those Of Mr.. Evarts
on law or DR.. Hamilton on med.
icine. But there is no reason why
the views of thes financiers should
not be much more interesting and
useful, If they were only made
known in proper manner. 1t is
sad to have to say that journalists
are to q great extent to blame for
the disrepute under which the in
terviewer lies. Reporters are often
Intensely cheeky, and do not hes
itate to intrude themselves at I'M
fitting times and in improper
places. So 10 comes that one hears
of the victim of an interviewer as,
instead of being proud of the honor
which is done him, is disguised and
angry at seeing his name In print
The World has introduced into
its columns what may be styled the
impeIsonal interview. As has been
pointed out, the only r0Ss0n d, etrt
of the interview is Its distinct per
sonality, and, when this element II
removed, the interview becomes {
useless string of words. But in the
newspaper alluded to the inter
views are with ''an0ther broker
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1881-10-04

who may be, for all the public
know, some fel ow earning pre-
carious commission of two dollars
day. The motley assem- biage who
are supposed to talk in these inter-
views remind one of the Grip
piles who sat down to the
feast in the parallels. Whether
Mr.. Vanderbilt had bought piece
of ground or Mr.. Gould five yoke of
oxen-which, perhaps, is only the
Scriptural name for bulls-or Mr.
Hatch had married wife, IL not
plain, but they all make their ex-
cuses and refuse to give their
views. The interviewer has conse.
quently gone to work to get togeth-
er the poor and the manned and
the halt and the blind, and suffer-
ed them to masquerade in the garb
of the more distinguished guests.
The iDcognito cross-eyed broker,
lame broker, and broken-nosed
broker may be a very intelligent
person, but the public do not care
one jet what they think of the
stock or produce market. The
sasSA s'OWipS PoiO VI Nhii SlT66t
journalism Is thus despoiled of all
its practical value, and reduced to
mere weapon of anonymous per-
sonal abuse against all those who
do not see fit to assist the proprietor
of the paper in his financial schemes
aud stock jobbing manipulations.
Mr.. Joe Harker, for instance, Is
called horse jockey because he
does not seem to approve of the
financial management of the COM
pany of which he is one of the di.
rectors AS ii the fact of man
owning a team or two of fast trot-
ters Is more detrimental to his
honor than the fact of brother
director. who attacks him, owning
several teams of Judges and legis-
lators!

MONOPOLY TENDENCIES.

The recent combination of the
Western Union Atlantic & Pacific, and
American Union telegraph companies
into single corporation with an os-
rensihle capital of $50, 000,000 is a
striking Illustration of the tendency
of capitalists to form grinding mo
nopolies by which they are enabled to
fleece the people. The combined cap
ital stock of the companies above nam
ed, one half of which was fictitious,
was bnt $65 .000,0 900, yet the leeches
who engineered the consolidation still
further watered it to the amount of
$l5, 900. 600. raising it to $50, 600 900
upon which they propose to receive a
dividend of eight per cent. per annuln.
It is safe to say that the entire prop
erty used in conducting the business
of this gigantic monopoly could be du-
plicated for $50, 900, 900, from which is
will be seen that eight pei cent. TAX
Ell from the people on 50,OO00OO, or
five eighths Of the entire capital, is an
extOrtion pure and simple.
The tendency of the great railway
corporations is in the 81 ne di,.cCion,
and one of the preliminary steps to
enable them to control the industries
of the entire country is the control OF
| the United States Senate, an end to-
ward which they are laboring with en-
couraging prospects. The Republican
! Senatorial nominees of New York and
/ PENNSYLVANIA ale railroad men, and il
/ the Republicans of Wisconsin shall
endorse the Senatorial professions OF
Philetus Sawyer they will advance the
| cause of the railway monOp0lies. 1t
seems little singular that many peo
pie who complain of the encroach
mants of capital in the hands of nm
scrupulous men will, while drawing
Their next breath, at the bland re
quest of a paid emissary, sign peti
ton for the election to the United
States senate of one who is largely in
t-rested in the success Of railway en-
telprises, and when rejecting upor
this fact we sometimes question if The
people recognize the efforts i'll theil
