make his now lodging comfortable, and 20 last
Friday morning went stoutly TO the courtroom
with the conviction that he should only leave it IN
custody Of the tDstaf as he did. The only mistake
he made at the tmo was in the smartness of his
speech to the Judges Antithess and epigram are
good things In their place. but simplicity would
have served him better ut the moment.
This little error, however, scarcely impaired the
good impression which his demeanOr made on the
pnblic. 1t is no joke at Mr. Yates's age-he is |
think, ffty-three-to be locked up for foar months
even as a irst-class misdemeanant with privileges
in the matter of food. drink clothing. furniture,
books. papers, letters and friends. lie is used to an
active life and to regular exercise in the open air.
Rotten Row used to know him and his liver oored,
white-stockinged cob well of morning, until lie
forsook London for Brighton. Many of those who
think bis offence inexcrsable and his punishment
just wOnld mono the less be glad to hear he was
doing as well as could be expected His paper
comes out with the usual signature, ATLAS" to the
columns of gossip under the familiar heading
"What the World Says" But elsewhere an Acting
Editor makes his appearance, and the Annals of
Holloway have yet to be begun. In place Of them
we are treated to not very clever skit on the
scene In court and two or three savage paragraphs
on ihe Times and its present editor. The temperate
article which that paper published on Saturday
offered little provocation for such retort II is
idle to talk about malignity, and about what Mr.
Yatess friends will permit or not permit. He and
they have no choice but to accept the undGubted
fact that public opinion, on the merits of this Ions
dale libel business. is dead AGAINST him. Now that
he Is enduring manfully and courageousy the
penalty of his mistake. nobody wishes to say word
against Dir. Yates personally. But he will lose the
benefit of the situation if he cannot manage to
prevent such outbreaks Of abuse as disiigure the
present number of his paper. 1t may be that the
rules of Holloway Prison don't allow him to read
proofs; if not. he can only pray to he saved from
the friends whose friendship mpels them into
vindictive personalities. G. W. S.
