WE SEEM to have set going a wide discus
sion of the ethics of journalism. This is
well. THE ethics of journalism need dis
cussion. For instance, we would like to
read from some expert pen searching an
alysis of the alleged attempt of the Associ-
ated Press to report our testimony. The
"ethics" of that performance would be
worth discussing.

WE NOTE that great many able editors
and correspondents interpret our attack
upon the Whisky Ring and its subsidized
agencies as an effort on our part to "get
even with" somebody or other for some
body or others attacks on the Star-Rotite
system. This is the view of Mr.. Charles
Nordhoff, among others. Well, fix it up to
suit yourselves. But we would like to
suggest that the Star-Route business may
not last forever; and if it should suddenly
give out there would be nothing to take
its place. The able editors and correspond
ents should begin looking around for a sub
stitute before long.

10 rely more on itself and less on govern

would kill off shoals of office hunters and
place-fllers, give a market in the neighbor-

American and foreign settlers and manufac-

that the Canadian cities are beautiful ain all
except advancing commerce, increasing
populations, freedom of a wide continental
trade, the power to invite the wide Ameri-

rsssIits OF this kind have been uttered of late
years too often by Can adian writers and
speakers not to have meaning in them, and
this kind of sentiment is gro wing in proper

snPERsII1IAN-

Superstition still holds victims in It's
gloomy grasp, and every now and then the
fact peeps out. Tuscany in Italy has been
the scene of earthquake; the shocks were re-
peated at intervals from Monday morning to
Wednesday night. The houses rocked, the
streets trembled as if mine had been sprung,
and the grating of the earth produced a
sound as If charge of cavalry were made.
The people were of course greatly terrified,
the houses were deserted, carriages were
drawn up on the grand square and there the
nobility slept at night. By way of light
ing if not curing the trouble the church bells
were ruDg, but the application of this correct
i've was not satisfactory and more powerful
means were resorted TO. The thrice holy
Madonna Vuoto, whoever she may be, was
uncovered, strange proceeding with one so
sacred, but in alarm strange things are often
done. The uncove ring did not prove a sue
cess, however, for the worst shocks came after
that was done. The proper cure for earth
quakes has evidently not been discovered
yet, but the cause of the earthquake in this
instance everybody on the spot is perfectly
familiar with-the municipality had put up
two tablets to the memory of Garibaldi only
the very week before the dreadful judgment
on their deed visited Tuscany and defied the
power of the uncovered madonna.

The star.Roure Trial.

WASHINGTON, August AIN the Star-route
trial Harvey NJ Vale. one of The defendants,
was placed on the stand. He said he lived
in ST. Louis. His principal business was
farming, but he had also engaged in the bus
iness of mail contracting. He had business
transactions with Miner, s. w. Dorsey and
John w. Dorsey. He had never directly or
indirectly paid General Brady for doing any
of the things charged against him in the in
dictment; he had never paid any public Off
Ger for doing such things. The proceeds in
the routes in the Indian Territory were to be
divided as follows: Vale, one-third; Miner,
one-sixth; Peck, one-sixth, and J. w. Dor
sey, one-third. In the other States and Ter
ritories Vale and Miner were to receive each
a third, and Peck and J. w. Dorsey one-third
between them. This partnership continued
up to April, 1879. The business, however,
was losing one. The cross-examination
developed nothing of particular interest.
The examination of Vale consumed the
entire day, and at its conclusion the court
adjourned until Monday.

COLUMBUS, o., August AIN January last
Mrs. Frank Gilbert, who keeps the Rood
House out on Friend street, went to Cincin-
natl and Inserted a mysteriously- worded ad-
vertisement in the Cincinnati papers, the
purport OF which was that young girls in
search of pleasant home would find it by
calling upon the signer. In response to her
advertisement May Bertrand, a fifteen-year-
old girl, appeared and desired to know what
she would have to do. Mrs. Gilbert told her
in plain language the character of her house,
but informed her that if May had never led
that life that she did not want her to come
with her. The Bertrand girl let her know
in a few words that she was satisfied, and
the bargain was quickly made, and the girl
came to Columbus, leaving her home
secretly, and without the knowledge of her
sister, Mrs. Ross, with whom she lived.
She remained at the Rood House for two
by the proprietress to the latter's daugh-
ter, Nine. Gilbert, who keeps ranch
at 325 Vsllandigham street, Newark,
where the girl was installed under the
name of Presley Flowers, and where
she has remained until last night, and was
frequently visited by prominent young
physician OF this city, whose name is not
given on account of his mother. Mrs Ross,
the sister, was naturally much worried and

appearance, and Immediately began search
for her, but met with no success. She even
went so far as to consult a clairvoyan who
sent her on a wild-goose chase to Chicago,
where she remained two weeks in an unsuc-
cessful search.
The Cincinnati papers were full of long
accounts at The time of this mysterious dis
and an effort was made 10 find
her, but without success until Officer Bentz,
of this city, who had been quietly investi-
eating the case, wrote TO Mrs. Boss that he
had information of the girls whereabouts.
So many disappointments had resulted from
such information that Mrs. Ross was 10th to
place any confidence in the knowledge
alleged, but further correspondence gave her
renewed courage, and she came TO the city
where she met her erring sister,
who promised to reform. They left for Gin

THE RomBARDmENr or ABoUKIR.

THE BOMBARDMENf OF ABOUKIR-
Aboukir appears to be the next place in
Egypt that may be subjected to lombard
ment. 1t is situated on the bay OF Aboukir,
thirteen miles from Alexandria, with which
it is connected by railway, and near the vii
lage, squalid spot, are the ruins of the an
cient Campus. The bay is infested with
treacherous shoals and other distractions.
Four forts and various earthworks, and
streng Notifications on an island, called
Nelson Island, defend the place. In 1898
the English naval hero, Nelson, fought there
one of his most celebrated battles. In 1899
Bonaparte fought the Turkish army there,
and routed them with less of 10000 men.
The forts there at present are capable of
making a vigorous defense, and the heavy
armored British war ships cannot approach
very near, owing to the shoals and rocks.
The battery on Nelson Island is the princi-
pal defense, together with the splendid forth
6cations on Aboukir point, which pushes
out from the mainland into the bay. The
batteries at Edku, in the vicinity of Rosetta,
are believed to be exceptionally powerful,
and it will be one of the first tasks of the
British to silence the Notifications both at
that point and the castle on the promontory.

SENATOR HARRIS.

Tennessee has furnished more than her
proportionate share OF greatness to the Re-
public. She is the proud mother of many
heroes, patriots and statesmen. Such mtn
as Andrew Jackson, Hugh L. White, Felix
Grundy, John Bell, James K. Polk, james
c. Jones, and Andrew johnson, have given
imperishable renown and indestructible
greatness TO the State, and we are rejoiced TO
know that we still have in our midst men
worthy of the mantle of these great men.
With the exception of Andrew Jackson, Gov
ernor Harris shares place as conspicuous
in public estimation az any OF his predece s.
sors who have reflected 80 much honor on the
State. The following extract from letter
published in the Baltimoridn may be taken
as a sample of the general sentiment in re-
gard TO Senator Harris:
Senator Harris is the Nestor of Tennessee poll
tics. and is to his State what Henry A. Wise
TO Virginia. His large experience in men and
have also given him most enviabie position in
the august body of which he is a member, where
popularity is unbounded, and the power that he
exercises over the multitude is wonderful have
seen vast audiences rise and cheer to the ech, at
the mere mention of his name. He is a successful
lawyer, and most eloquent advocate. As
yigor, dash and forcible language and the terri
BILE earnestness with which he assaults his adver-
sarys position The one great shining point in his
character is his earnest sincerity. Whatever
Isham q. Harris says, he means; and whether 1t Is
promise refusal or admission, he actsfup to it.
With him, the poorest of his constituency rank
with the highest, and he serves one as cheerfully
as the other. Always Democrat, and an I'M
sWerving one. he is the center of Radicsl hatred
In Tennesxee-the champion whom they fear
Democrats to defeat his reelection to the Senate
next winter. Such effort, lie Others, will recoi
upon the projectors and the senator will be his
own successor, because Tennessee Is overwhelm-
ingly In his favor.
The people of Tennessee are proud of the
high position which Senator Harris occupies
befo re the country. He is man of strong
individuality, and has made his own distinct
impress upon public affairs. His influence
with the administration is unbounded, and
his capabilities for serving the people OF
Tennessee are great. To defeat such a man
for the United States seDatorship would
be calamity to the people; but the
course of the boilers makes such result
possible. w. B. Stokes, who, as candidate
for governor in 1856, opposed the enfranchise-
ment of the taxpaying people, has announced
himself candidate for senator, and heavy
responsibility will rest upon the boilers if
their folly results in the defeat of Isham G.
Harris and the triumph of such creature
as Stokes.

A CITY IN THE CLOUDS.
Wonderful Mirage Effects in Hum
phreys County, Tenn.
Nashville Banner.

A gentleman well known in this CITY
vouches for the truth OF the following, and it
is here told as related TO the Banner reporter:
"One morning a few weeks ago two gentle
men belonging TO a fishing party, camping on
one of the many trout streams that abound In
Humphreys county, rose asthe frststreaks OF
dawn began TO illumine the eastern skies and
started ont TO catch, If possible, lew OF the
splendid beauties before breakfast. The sky
was perfectly cloudless, and not even the
slightest zephyr stirred the leaves that hung
heavy with dew upon the grand old trees.
The anglers had proceeded about half a mile
from the camp, and were preparing TO cast
their lines into the placid waters that
bounded with many tV ist and ripple from
rock to rock, when an exclamation from one
of them attracted the attention of the other,
and he saw his companion gazing intently al
the southern horizon. Casting his eyes in the
same direction he beheld sight that thrilled
him through aud through. The sky had by
this time assumed the peculiar transparency
noticeable Just before sunrise in the summer,
and he saw, suspended as il were in the
heavens to the southwark, and outlined as
distinctly as though it were done with an
artists pencil, beautiful and extensive
city, with its houses, spires, and streets
standing out in bold relief. Awed and i'm
pressed by the wonderful vision the two fab
ermen dropped their poles and tackle and
gazed in open-eyed establishment at the
wonderful mirage. AS he looked at the
beautiful city in the heavens, the streets and
more prominent buildings assumed familiar

even of human life, does not grow in the
wastes of agnosticism." Certainly the tree
of profit, even Of pecunisry profit, does not
grow in the publication OF rautiDg minor
poetry. The critic of some scarcely articu-
late persons who seek, and vsinIy seek,
celebrity by printing verse, thinks the
meaning OF one of his suthors some
thing too awful TO be expressed in plain
prose-" There is really nothing lawful"
about these unmusical scribes, except what
schoolboy might call their lawful bosh."
For example, Is it worth while to write seri-
ously about stuff like this: "But her feet
are as ivory shining like stars through the
lanes of the night?" One might just as we'll
sing how "Her eyes are like crumpets
columnar, and shine with the splendor of
chalk" Then we are confronted with more
fustian about solemn rollers mot garden
rollers) that curl leouine mouths, like gian.
impossible column, and have a name that
shakes unsearchsble hands. Ii the theo-
logical tenets of the Dublin Reriev are only
In danger from the authors of these deliri-
Gus jingles, the contributors to that peri
odicai, like the lady confronted by Artemus
Ward, shave no cause to be afeared." Shell
ley, who is also quoted and spoken of as
greater poet" than Mr.. John Payne, is
more dangerous opponent, but Shelley did
not write nonsense.

aspect, until finally the Banners informant,
who was for time resident of Mobile
recognized that city, and then he began 10
understand that it was nothing supernatural
he was beholding, but only one of those
wonderful and inexplicable mirages some
times brought about by the peculiar condi-
ton of the atmosphere. For fally ten miu-
utes the two disciples Of Ike Walton viewed
with wonder the beautiful city in all its
completeness. and then, as the FIRST rays of
sunlight began to struggle through the cedars
that crowned the hills to the east OF them
and cast its golden rays across the swiftly
flowing waters at their feet, the vision grad
uaify faded from view, and few minutes
later found the two men still looking eagerly
at the point of the heavens where it had
been but was no longer. Shouldering their
poles the two returned to the camp without
any fsh, and for some time deliberated
whether or not they should tell of their ad.
venture, believing their companions would
regard 1t as the boss fishing lie of the season.
Finally they told what they had seen, and
were informed by the party that such thing
was not at all unlikely, considering the
quality of whisky there was in the demi-
John"
