ENulous JOURNALISM.

The attention of the editor OF the
HERALD has been called to an attack
made upon the paper by the Fort Worth
Gazette, charging the HERALD with
plagiarism. The Gazette is entirely ca
pable of any moanness, and were II not
for the fact that ii has subsequently
footed a challenge which a few of Fort
Worth's retainers (the moribund Gazette
has noue) have repeated, its silly non
sense would not be noticed
The charge is that the HERALD stole an
editorial, month or so ago, from the
Chicago Times. A few words will sur
fee to explain to those who have no.
ticed its accusation. Mr.. CURTIS wrote
An opinion on the civil service reform
question. The Gazette didn't know who
GEORGE TIcKSoR CURTIS was, and 81
expressed its Ignorance. The opinion
of Mn, CURTIS was very length.
and portion of it, narrative
and historical. The leading idea wa
his opinion as 20 the operation of tn
law as IL stands. AS matter of "induct
ment" the Times published tho histor
q of the congressional action on the "aI
puintment to Office question:" and tn
tenure of said Offices. The HERALD col
: densed the historical and narrative pa
q which the Times did not clam as augl
"a else and quoted Mn. CURTIS concl'
a sions and reasoning.
Al The action of the Gazette in tho ma
q ter has been characterized by wonde
d full want of journalistic knowledge ~
70 courtesy, aud only indicates an evil di
a position to paper whose ideas and e
itorials it daily copies and puts in d
ferent form. In writing this the HE
IN AID feels that it only breaches a fune'
liz sermon over a jealous sheet which
u it's every issue begs for little resp
ut from tho public condemnation Of
d. poverty o. resource aud ability.

VERY STRANGE PROCEEDINGS IN
ONION

1t is very hard matter to understand
this matter of blowing UP the Eng
lish houses of parliament, to which the
telegraphic dispatches call attention.
If it is the Irish that are doing this
business, they are certainly not as di-
rect in their proceedings as they usually
are. They shoot, stab and Fenianize,
bat they do not seem TO have much idea
about blowing up either empires,
bridges or towers. If it was an Irish at
tempt, which was directed against Lon
don bridge, it was an exceedingly char
acteristic bull. What on earth they eX-
pected to accomplish by it is hard to
understand. And now comes another
most remarkable explosion, London
tower, the houses of parliament and the
White Tower itself, have bHen dynam-
tied by somebody.
Is it some Fenian or Irishman that is
: doing all this? If so he is very silly
creature. Surely no good can come tc
Ireland's cause by such proceed
ings, and as yet it is only con
$ lecture as to the parties Oh
class instigating the violence
: Yet the impression is evidently abroad
8 and in England that the Irish are at thu
d bottom of the business. There is no ev
a idence against them so far, and it is t,
: be hoped that no nationality will b
u charged with such barbarous nonsense
1t is savage, pointless, and so utterly In
effective that the leading Irishmen i
+ New York openly declare that tn
- British government is trying to prejl
W dice the Irish cause by getting up tn
fire cracker business as a means
y holding the same up to public conden
no nation. Be that as it may, it is ven
as low, contemplate and savage pr
NY ceedure, and whether Irish, English
nu individual enterprise, in should
're stamped out with unrelenting Wig
when discovered.
The dispatches show that great alar
- exists in London, but so far not mu
~, actual damage. Fourteen persons
reported as injured, but no death
'H 10 ported. If the Irish or any other rf
~. are tho promoters of this Abdominal
y iniquity, they are not only enemies
i-"' the human race, but exceedingly fool
people. 1t must be acknowledged t
WV no evidence attaches as yet to any 7
'N' ticular class or individual.
