Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1884-08-19

Hugh Mahon of California is
making speeches in New York. It
will make the Democracy of Cali
fornia blush when they read the
news. OF all the brainless blather-
sixties, who ever assayed to speak
for a party. or a cause, Mohon il
the worst. He knows no more
about the real sentiment of Cali
fornia on political affairs, than he
does Of the sentiments of the false
prophet on the subject of civil SER
vice reform. He is Democrat,
but to save his life he could not
tell why. He has been looked
upon as a harmless bore in Cali
fornia for ten years. He is as un-
learned as Kearney without frac-
ton OF Kearney's cunning. He
positively has but one solid at
tribute and that is his check. That
in collision with 4 brass foundry
would smash the foundry. To tel
egraph his mouthings across the
continent is an abuse Of the people
and Of electricity. = Salt Lake

Occasionally Frank Pixley
lashes the press Of California in :
style that is pretty vigorous and "a
some extent merited. He says in
last Saturdays paper:
One Of the special peculiarities
Of the Argonaut 10 the genuine and
sincere contempt it has for the press
"A contempt which it loses no fair
opportunity to express. It is our
opinion that the most over-slob-
bered, over-rated, over estimated Of
all the Institutions of modern civil
ization is the press. In comparison
With it, nothing is SO mereenary,
venal, or cowardly. Nothing is
more unreliable. If it is not enter
prising in the direction of being
sensational and nasty, it is dull and
heavy to the point of stupidity. If
it is'not viciously criminal and de-
moralizing, if it does not pander to
the very worst passions by its utter
disregard of decency, then it is liza
bic to 20 to the other extreme of.
hypocrisy and cant. The political
press is in no sense representative
of the intelligent craftsmanship of
the country. The commercial press
does not pretend to be = type of
commercial honor. The religious
press is simply imbecilc. The
newspaper that has power abuses it.
The one that has not is a sycophant.
By power, Of course, we mean
money. The journalist is infuen-
tial and honored for his money. A
person is not journalist in Amer
lea because he is a writer, but be-
cause he is > proprietor. To be a
great journalist does not demand
ability, culture, experience; does
not require the possession of any
virtue or any other talent than that
Of business, and no brains other
than those possessing the business
faculty. The greatest Journalists"
Of America never write; they never
even direct the policy of their pa
pcrs, except in the moncy-making
direction; they are not, as = rule,
men of good character, and they are
often profigate and unprincpled.
To print libelous articles-within
the line of the LAWS enterprise.
Toinvade the domestic circle-with-
in the salty of the cowhide or the pis-
tolls admissible. To color, or mis-
state, or suppress fact, in order to
satisfy the prejudice of the reader, !
is the common mode of conducting
the modern newspaper.
