A Nuisance.

n NulshhCcs
One OF the nuisances respectable newspapers
have to put up with is the frequent calls made
upon them to publish replies of persons SLAM
dcred by the irresponsible daily press" in every
country town afflicted with cubs OF the kind.
Not one in hundred Of these sheets is respon-
sible. They live "by their WITS" and no man is
safe from their attacks if their purpose warrants
one. One may smile obviously when he reads a
reckless assault on some other man; but he
trembles every time he opens the sheet lest his
turn shall have come, and he finds his own char
acter furnished, his wife and family insulted, and
his business standing questioned. These are
some OF the beauties of q free press-'the
true measure of all other liberty" as some i'm.
aginative fellow wrote when journalism the
world over was considered an honorable occupa-
ton, even in a country town; when newspaper
men, even to the least of them, aimed to be of
use to and not drag apon che community in
which they lived; when SANDER was not an end
or a means to an end; and when typographical
pin-head were not supposed to be editors
Now publishing replies to articles that APP
peared in the daily" press is not pleasant oc-
cupaton; for there is not any difficulty in filling
the columns of live paper. In general, also,
these things are not of so profound interest to
the world as the aggricved imagine them to be.
Yet sometimes even an editor must succumb to
a mans e, treaties to right the wrong done him,
to whom redress is impossible otherwise, and
give space that, ten to to one, is u dead loss TO
the reader, and especially so to the publisher.
We have case this week. Some two weeks
ago the Journal whose chief aim now seems to
be to make a sewer of itself, published an alleged
report of legal contest Of some sort over a
ward or her property, in which G. X. LovejOy, OF
South Ottawa, was spoken of very disrespectful-
ly: and contemptuously. 1t was Il species of
smartness of which only an irresponsible sheet
can be guilty, III which facts were deliberately
distorted for the purpose Of putting this gentle
man and others in a ridiculous and contemplate
light, so as to make u "lunny article" Under
the circumstances, gentleman who had Injured
another would have allowed the aggrieved an
opportunity to explain in the same sheet, so that
his reply would reach the same readers who read
the original attack. The JourHal, however is
not that sort of pin-head. Its editor refused to
publish the other side Of the case, because at
rejected on our friend who wrote it," The other
side comes to US, therefore. What can we say?
To be intelligent to our readers the reply must
contain The Jout7al article, which, of course, we
will not publish. The reply, in few words, is
that the Journal has malicously lied, and refused
to allow the slandered an opportunity to reply.
In the light of these facts the public will doubt
less agree with the accused that the Jott,,sal has
and mGlciously falsided the facts in
the case.

But the La Sale Press explains the whole
business, IN nutshell: at seems that there
was conference Of Republicans at Ottawa
last Wednesday TO consider the propriety of
bringing out a new candidate Tor congress
from this county. We have not been Informed
of the names of the members Of tins confer
bus, of Mendoza, and Mr.. Cullens postmaster
at La Sale were conspicuous figures in it, &.
1t appears that j. c, Corbus and Henry Mayo
were the only gentlemen whose chances were
considered by the conference, and 1t was de-
cided that Mr. Mayo should take the field. .
La Salle county may safely be reckoned as
solid for him in the coming congressional
convention"

And furthermore the Ners takes particular
pains to sill down on the Morris Herald. Eide
THE Morris Herald has a lengthy and lumin.
Gus article on the congressional situation.
The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1882-08-19

The editor, Mr.. Fletcher expresses dissatis'
faction with the present member Mr Fletcher
is real nice man aud if he really knew only
one twentieth part Of what he thinks he
knows, should be sent to the United States
senate, and kept there. Now, in man OF a
lower type, who would assume the position
taken by "Fletch" under the same clrcum'
stances, its influence on the American people
might be weakened by the fact that this au.
burn haired statesman had been a persistent,
begging applicant for the Morris post office,
and Mr. Cullen, not realizing the immense
power welded by the Herdld, dared to re.
commend the appointment of man whom
the people of Morris wanted-hence these
tears.
The Peru Nerald doesn't agree with the
NeUs in this matter. 1t says: There is a
boom IN La Sale county for Henry Mayo Of
Ottawa, to represent this district in congress.
Mayo will find large number ofIepubllcans
in Peru to favor tins movement
Whereas the Strealor FFee IrfsS, on tne
other hand is a strong Cullen organ: The
situation Is not at all complex. The renoml.
nation and election of Hon. VIM. Cullen is
almost assured. The custom of giving the
congressman at least the second term will not
be disturbed We do not believe Mr.. Mayo
Is put forward with the sincere wish, or even
hope, that he will win. 1t Is more probably
true that he is brought out in order to raise a
disturbance in Cullen's own county, thereby
opening the fight and defeating all La Sale
county aspirants. To Mr. Mayo, personally,
we attribute no motive that is not strictly
honorable, but we believe he has, as he will
find later too many false friends, some of
whom, perhaps, are anxious 10 put him out OF
the way for the contest two years hence, when
| he would be formidable rival to any gentle
man who could be named. We think that
| there is no question that Mr.. Mayo cannot
succeed this year"

At the Morris convention on Saturday last
the following delegates were appointed to rep
resent Grundy County in the republican con-
gressonal convention to be held at Ottawa:
Henry Leach, of Greenfield; o. w. Strong
Vienna; j. X. Ely, Macon; Fletcher Dirst
Aux Sable; DIR. Truman Hand, Morris. The
delegates were not instructed Tor any candi
date and it seems decidedly open question
whom they are for for congress. The Trtbu1e'S
telegram says they are for Cullen; the lnde-
pendent says in one place in Tuesdays issue,
"They are solid for Cullen" and IN another,
mo man carries the Grundy county congress
sional delegation in his vest pocket" Mayo
says the delegation is not tor Cullen, and other
reports we have received point the same way
that Cullen at best has solid" but one mem
Der of the delegation, who himself Is not
averse to argument" Of the other side. The
Herald, however is quite emphatic on the
subject, saying: THE committee appointed to
select delegates to the congressional conven.
ton intended to select delegation that would
favor the return of William Cullen to congress.
This they failed to do from the fact that with.
out putting themselves in the delegation they
were unatle to find five men in the county
that favored the return of Mr. Cullen. There
fore the delegation stands against instead for
the return of Mr.. Cullen, as the occasional
correspondent Of the Chicago TribHae would
have the people believe. No fight was made
for the delegates"

Relief Of the Greeley Expedition.

PERILS OF ARCTIC NAVIGATION.
Mr.. Beebe, an attache of the signal corps of the
United States army, who was detailed to take
charge Of the stores intended for the relief of the
Lieut.. Greeley expedition, reported in person to
the chief signal officer to-day and submitted quite
voluminous written report Of the events OF the
trip. The relief expedition sailed from ST. John
on the 9Th OF July, and the 18th heavy Ice packs
were encountered near Cape Farewell, which con-
tinued on the 18th and 18th. Godhaven was
reached on the 17th, where the death OF Inspector
Smith, OF the signal service, was announced
which occurred on the 2Sth OF May. The relief ex.
pedftion left Godhaven bay on July 10th, and In
the evening encountered binding snow storm
and packs OF tmpenetrable ice. On the 21su, 22l,
3i Mth and and 18th the vessel drifted helplessly
with the tide. On the 29sh Lttleton Island was
reached, from whence the course was toward
southward on account of ice, and an anchorage
made In Pandora harbOr, named by Sir Allen
Young: Here bad weather was experienced and
an anchor was lost On the 9TH OF August the
vessel was again pushed to the northward, and on
the 9th was again helpless twelve miles from Vic
tOr1a'S Head. Here at one time the vessel, by rea-
son of Ice. was raised bodily three feet On the
10th Of August, latitude 1920, was reached the
highest point to the north attained. Packs of ice
continued to surround the vessel, and on the 18th
the ship was on an even keel three feet above her
level. The boiler was also found to be over
strained on account OF the pressure to get through
the ice. Finding it impossible to do better the
relief stores were landed on Littleton Island well
sheltered, in o cave, with copies OF records and
with minute instructions how to find the stores
A whale boat was left at Cape Isabella. Mr. Beebe
says should Lieut. Greeley reach L1ttleton Island
next year he will no doubt ind the stores.
