BLAINE ON CoLFAx.-Mr. Blaine, in

Schuyler Colfax was especially fitted for

the House for eight years, having been

edited successful Journal at South Bend.
He was paragon Of industry, with keen,

it was easy for him to cultivate the art of

That is, the Thlinklets were generally s

benefits of the white mans civilization.
AS general thing it does not improve
the moral standing of Indiaas to have
white men come and live near them.
They copy but few of the virtues of TIE
newcomers, and are pretty sure to indulge
in most of their vices. When Alaska
was more forsaken than il 10 ut present,
the Indians did not get dunk whenever
they could, which they do now; nor did
they sell their wives and daughters to
the highest bidder. But they had ether
faults, such as putting innocent people to
death, because they thought they had an

husband, that both might 60 to tho happy

such pleasantries; and while civilization
has rendered them more depravsd in
some things. it has, on the other hand,
brought back to them and offered
glimpse, at least of better modes of living
of which some have taken advantage. n
There have been converts to Christian
ity made here and there, and few have
moved into comfortable quarters, and very
many have learned to work hard and
save little money. One notices the
few advancements made with pleasure
and only regrets that there has not been
more progress. If Montesquieu was
right in calling that people happy whose
annals are tiresome. Alaska Indians
must have been supremely contented.
During the years of their occupancy of
Alaska they have done actually nothing |

never built any towns, but they have

SATISFACTORY REA uLTS.

The result OF Tuesdays elections is
shown in our press and special dispatches.
It is encouraging and satisfactory to the
friends Of Democratic government
throughout the nation. 1t is more than
THE GAZETTE had hoped for, and far
more than we had dared predict.
The majority in New York is largely in-
creased, despite the ostentatious deser-
ton Of the Mugwumps, who proclaimed
that they, holding the balance of power,
would elect Davenport But one thing is
lacking to make the victory complete.
The Republicans still hold majority in
the state legislature, and will elect u
United States senator.
Malone is overtmown in Virginia, and
Fitzhugh Lee is governor, A Democratic
legislature Is elected to send Il Democrat
to take Mahoue's place in the United
States senate. The victory could not
have been more complete. Nothing more
could be asked for,
The elections in the other states were
unimportant, because there was no con
test to speak of Mississippi and Mary
land were conceded to the Democrats
and Massachusetts,, Pennsylvania anC
Iowa to the Republicans. Connecticut
though giving n Democratic majority
elects Il Republican legislature, as wal
expected but with a majority SO reduce,
as to make the result anything but salts
factory TO the Republicans.
The central fact of the election is tina
the doubtful states were all carried b.
the Democrats by increased maiorities
This is intensely satisfying, and no reas
enable Democrats ask for more.

porter where prcmeditated "open
letter" would have the appearance OF
projecting the writer forward into public
affairs when his advice was unsought.
And # It fails to "take,n il the opinions
advanced fail TO strike responsive chord
in the popular mind, they are so easily
rcpudlated by the author to whom they
are attributed This is ono of the con-
ycnlences of the interview, and il is often
made use Of.
But there IRE undoubtedly cases, and
they are not rare, whore conscienceless
newspaper reporters and editors have
sought by stealth TO get possession Of the
language Of public men which they know
win create sensation, and have pub
lished it against the wish OF the authors.
Even worse, there are known cases where
words were put into the mouths of men
which they did not utter This is merely
gracelcss lying, and should be condemned
as quickly in newspaper as in an indi-
vidual who should accuse another Of what
he did not say.
| 1t seems to be allowed among reputa-
BILE editors that unauthorized interviews
are illegitimate objects of journalistic
enterprise But what is an authorized
interview? Does it require the special
consent and appreciation of the author?
Not in all cases, assuredly. Where o man
publicly holds forth and expresses him
self in crowd, without reservation or
injunction of secrecy, he cannot object to
find his utterances in print even if the
enterprlshg reporter has seen fit to put
them in the form of question and answer,
which is the sign of the interview. As
long as the truth is not departed from,
even though the exact words are not
printed as spoken, there is nothing to
complain Of. The sanctity of privacy is
not invaded, but the newspaper only
gives wider publicity to what was not at
tempted to be concealed.
THE GAZETTE has printed some of the
most famous interviews given to the pub
lie in Texas, and has never had one o.
them denied--ii we except recent one
the truth of which was corroborated a,
soon as the denial was published. Ii
this respect, THE GAZETTE does not post
as model, but simply desires and en-
deavors to speak the truth and deal un
fairly with no man.
