An OPENING IN CUTLERY.

The propretors of The Epening Post have
learned all the "secrets" of "lOw-lived" and
BLACKBOARD" journalism. They say as much,
and from cursoly examination of their files
we are disposed to believe them. They profess
to be ashamed of their calling and never lose
an opportunity of reviling it. They have con-
tracted chronic contempt for the profession,
which they have done so much to low or in pub
lie estimation. They are constantly affirming
that it is an indecent, demoralzing and disrep-
utable business Entertaining this view they
are naturally anxious to get out of it, and are
looking out for q moro manly and respectable
means of gaining livelihood.
Apparently they have suspected for some
time that there might be desirable opening in
The foreign cutlery trade. 1t seemed to be a
nice, gentemanly pursuit, quite English you
know, to which they could safely retire from
the intolcrable degradation of American
journalism" If either they or their friends are
not personally interested in imported cutlery,
why have they persisted in their silly lies about
The TRBUNE's publication of an official
report to the Treasury on alleged undervalua-
tiOns7 We have emphatically repudated
their fasehoods, yet they have had the stark
naked impudence to repeat them, and when
sharply called to account are too cowardly to
apologize for them. Other new spapers, which
did not have the news of the day, have kept
quiet about it. The Post has lied about il and
raised hue and cry abont the immortality of
journalism. Has THE TRIBUNE unwittingly
disturbed the business prospects of these dis
heartened refugees from "a degraded and
abominable profession
Well, We confess that after reflection We
vaguely recall number of letters and articles

ing interest in that subject. " hen Mr. Osborn's
report on underv aluatons reached U.s. it was
published as matter of news. As the
Treasury Department had taken the pains TO
send man to Europe to investigate the SUBJ
iect we supposed that the public would like to
know what he had to say about it. We might
have suppressed the report, If We had only
remembered tho free trade cutlery series in
The Post and had realized that friends in that
trade were planning for the conductors of that
journal some means of escape from the daily
horrors and foul associations of degraded
profession For if the Chastity Editor will
forgive US. We cannot think of any event that
would do more to raise the character of
journalism as a decent, honest and reputable
profession than his own retirement from it. II he

and lawlessness which have always been the
product of drastic measures. It IL further
apparent that the application of the saloon tax
to the police and poor funds Is calculated TO
promote reflection among the public. and
especially among the drinking public. The
general conscience is not likely to remain
acquiescent long under system the arrange

occupation specially in order to meet the
harm it does to the Commonwealth. The Dow
law puts brand upon the saloon, and this
must become palmer as time passes. The ad-
vocates of temperance should welcome the
judicial decision which establishes the consttu-
tionaltv of the statute, for 1t is the most
serious blow the liquor interest has sustained
yet, not understanding the reported satisfaction
of the Ohio saloon keepers with the situation.

The Secretary Of the Navy feels good deal
annoyed, 1t IL said, because certain officers
connected with his Department oppose his bill
to reorsanize and consolidate some OF tho
Naval Bureaus. 1t il possible that the officers in
question have not followed the proper etiquette
in expressing their convictions in regard to the
measure, but it may be seriously questioned
whether the best way to insure intelligent and
satisfactory legislation affecting an important
branch of the public service Is to stop the
mouths of men whose knowledge and expert
ence ought to make their views and sugees-
tons of value. Some of them who have long
been connected with the Department may know

The Free Traders in Congress have had a
back-set, and MIR. Randall supported by the
Republicans is bigger man" than Colonel
Morrison. This was made clear yesterday
whep the House decided by l4S to 154 not to
consider the tariff bills. The negative vote was
made up of 1913 Republicans and 26 Demo-
Gratis and the affirmative by 142 Democrats and
8 Republicans. To the devotion of the Repub-
licans t. the business interests OF the country,
therefore, may be traced this result. Can it be
said hereafter with any semblance of truth that
both the great parties of this country are
equally divided on the tariff question
Life in San Francisco must be especially
lively in these days. The wrath excited in all
classes of society by the collapse OF the silver
mining boom, and the exposure of its in
cidental frauds, has not yet subsidized; the
street-car strike continues, with more or less
violence, and two murders and probably fatal
assault excited public attention last week. One
cause of this state of affairs, perhaps the pfin-
cipal one is the failure of the courts and juries
to administer justice impartially and quickly.
This demoralizes every body; discourages
good citizens and encourages bad ones to in
dulge in excuses of all kinds. A score of
uDtried murderers are In Jail, and yet no judge
seems to remember the Cincinnati riots.
1t would require only slight effort of the
imagination to believe that the National Gov
eminent at Paris whether named Cob Ct, Ferry,
or De FreycineU had beer put in power by the
Democratic party of this country. Its financial
methods are those most favored by the Demo-
cratic leaders In Congress. and consist
principally IN cheese pairing economy in public,
acd extravagant expenditure and appropra-
lions in private where they do not show. The
only difference Is that in France there 10
already q large deficit in the Treasury,
while here there is surplus thanks to the
course Of previous Republican Administrations.
