Jo. Ifpmurd's Letter.


In New York the tendency Is towards
oue-man power in every line Of journalism.
The HrdH is owned by one man Mr.. Ben
nett. The Tim. is almost entirely owned
and is absolutely controlled by one man,
Mr.. Jones. The Sun, although owned by a
company, is Virtually owned and is abso-
lutely controlled by one man, Mr. Dana
The TriL,nc j. owned By q company, but
a majority Of its shares are held and
controlled by one man. Mr.. Reid.
The WorH is owned and controlled by Mr..
could. represented by Mr.. Hurlbut alone.
These gentlemen are absolute, and no other
IrrSon has any ultimate power, although
at times there is degree OF discretionary
power vested in individual assistants. 1t
is generally assumed that because Mr.. Ben
nett spends much OF his time abroad, hi,
Remit is run by others. There never
was a crosSer mistake. lie is the absolute
autocrat of the HtdH and controls its daily
conduct to minute details by cable, which
he Uses As freely as most men use tn" dis

crazy utteranccS. GuiteauS sister and
brother are in Washington, and state their
purpose to attend the execution, and they
cannot well be refused. The unfortunate

make a scene. An insane sister witnessing
the judicial killing OF an insane brother is
not welcome thought to any one who
looks beyond the craze OF the hour.

Colonel Benton disliked John G.. Call

evils of public patronage, and had sup
ported it in one of his terse 10 minute
speeches, Colonel Benton occupied two
hours in reply, taking the ground that
..to the yictors belong the spells" Mr..
Southland followed, sustaining Mr.. Cal
houn's report.
Colonel Benton rose again, and, with
out, noticing what Mr.. Southland had
said poured forth his abuse on Mr.. Cal

quent with scorn. Benton grew more

One evening at the White House the

President Lincoln, ..that their first meet
ing took place. Jackson was seated at
this very table when the door yonder
swung open and Benton stalked in and
stood silently in the middle ofsthe floor.
jackson looked up and recognized him
at once, and recoilected at the same
time he had no weapon to defend him.
self. Equally silently he got up, walk
to the door, locked it and put the key in
his pocket, and went back to his seat.
Then he said, ''Does this mean war or
peace?"
1T means peace,n said Benton.
jackson again arose. walked to the
door, unlocked it, came back to his seat,
and then said. ''Col Benton, am pleas

All this time Benton was standing
statuesquely in the center of the room,
never moving muscle while jackson
was locking and unlocking the door,
and the reconciliation between the two
gentlemen was complete. It simply
showed the dramatic character of the
man.--jSt. Ioass Post Dispatch
