Fight Fair.

The Philadelphia Record has a couple of
antipathies which do it no credit. because
they are entertained against those very
notably able and honorable men, Frank
Gowen and John Kelly. The Record is
entitled to its opinions of men however
fallacious but il sacrifices its fame in
defaming them. 1t would command much
greater esteem for its opinions if ii was
more careful to use fact instead of fancy as
its weapons of offence.
1t is assuredly untruthful in it to say that
the new managers of the Reading propose to
lock their doors on Mr.. Gowcn, and that
President Keim intends to step out. and
that Mr.. Sayre is booked to step in. And
it is extremely silly to say that John Kelly
" has accomplished nothing except the dis
organization of his party and the demorali-
zation of the public service" Mr.. Singcrly
is fortunate if he has done as little in the
way of decentralization as Mr. Kelly. As
Mr.. GOwen and Mr. Kelly are both partic-
ularly distinguished for the honesty. vigor
and determination with which they con-
duct affairs, the suspicion arises that these
attributes are not those which the conduc-
tor Of the Record loves when they counter
against things that he loves better.

THERE is perhaps no class OF brcad-win.
ners who work harder than conscientious
journalists, and yet they lead very precar-
ious existence. Unlike employees in mer-
camille establishments, the best of them can
be dismissed at an instant's notice without
materially disturbing the throbbing life OF
the greatest vehicle OF modern education on
which they may have spent the best part OF
their lives. Changes of proprietorship often
introduce new faces into the editorial rooms.
and faithful workers whose lives had grown
up around their papers are thrust ont to
shift for themselves as best they can. In the
still hours of the night the journalists on
the morning papers, are toiling while the
rest OF the world is sleeping. Their literary
existence is merged in that Of the papers on
which they are employed, and their most
carefully prepared work, meritoriou5 though
II be, passes into the common journalistic
stream to live but twenty-fOur hours. In
numerous instances the sad sight is presented
Of men in newspaper harness breaking down
in their prime from excessive toll, and their
places filled with younger men whose
tresher blood the exacting literary Jugger-
naut must have. Compensation, however
comes in the larger acquaintance with men
and affairs that the journalistic life entails.
and in the thought that some words in sea-
son may have made a few lives happier or
more useful.
