Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1886-10-14

THAT prohibition in Iowa is productive
OF strange results is proved by the fol-
lowing: The mayor OF Cascade, a town
in Dubuque county, fined saloon keeper
for selling liquor without license. The
attorney for the saloon keeper appealed
the case and filed demurrer to the
complaint on which his client was fined
before the mayor, setting forth that the
city had no right to license saloon
under the State prohibitory law. The
higher court sustained the demurrer,
and as a result the large cities and towns
in Iowa will lose their annual crop Of
license fees. Does prohibition prohibit

understand the case fully it is only nee.
essary to imagine that the products Of
the Hawaiian Islands could be admitted
here duty free, while full duty was ex
acted for all American products exported
to that country. The Cubans, like the
Mexicans, are ever prone to stir up a
strife with America, for the reason that
they know our Government would hesi-
tate before beginning war for reprisal,
and the Cubans care nothing for making
apologies when they have been forced to,
having no particular nationality, and no
money to lose thereby. The only method
OF dealing with such people is to strike at
their pockets, and the Presidents procla-
nation effectually does this.

WHITELAW REID.

The Tribune is prominently the conserv
tive paper of New York. The Tribune does
not use illustrations; it does not employ
''star"' writer's; it does not deal in any
news that borders o. sensation, and ru-
NOR says that it does not have as. many
readers as it did a few years ago.. How
ever this may be the Tribune goes serenely
along; prints such news as it sees fit, and is
the gospel Of a certain class OF wealthy
and, perhaps, unprogressive New Workers
who have enormous faith in the journal
which was founded by Horace Greeley. Mr..
Whitelaw Reid, the present editor ana
largest stakeholder, is a tall. slight man,
with rather cold manners and q good
opinion of himself. He began his career, at
the age OF 20, as the editor of the Xenia
News in Ohio. Then he was a war cores
pondent and finally d.ifted on the Tribune
under Horace Greeley, and was made
editor-in-chief when Mr.. Greeley resigned
his post to run for the Presidency. There
is an inside story to this incident, not very
creditable to MI. Reed, which has never
been published and which probably never
| will be, as, while it is generally believed, it
cannot be substantiated. The Tribune
staff is composed OF men who, while
ture, are not widely known as
brilliant journalists. William Winter
| the veteran dramatic critic, is one
| of the exceptions to this rule. Mr.. Winter
is q beautiful writer and an astute critic,
but a very poor newspaper man. His styl'
| is rather of the polished essayist, and his
notion of news is extremely vague. Mr..
John K. G. Hassard succeeded the late
George Ripley as literary editor. Mr.. Has
sard is a quiet. retiring gentleman, schol-
arly in style.and strongly analytical in criti-
cisn. Arthur Bowers is on Of the few pop
ular city ed tors. He is courteous, method
ical and has a genius for rews. He has,
however. but an in %iifferen. city staff to
work with. Horace Townsend is a young
Englishman who does a good deal Of the
best special work on the Tribune. VIC.
Price, their labor man, is probably the

rhe He~His now probably one OF the
~or.t orenuised papers in New York. Ten
vearr ago With it's large STAN Of the best
writer's. and it's enormous enterprise IN
news gathering, it was one OF the great
Journals of the world. To-day it excels
only in the matter of foreign new MI.
Bennett has entire cont Ol, and he is
becoming more and more cratic. The
Herald men never know when to expect a
shake up, consequently they lose interest
ia their work, and feel but little loyalty
toward the paper. The establishment ia
managed by Mr.. B.nnett by cable, and his
orders are carried out by an editorial
council of ten, OF which Rev. DIR. Hepworth
is chief, and Charles NOrdhoff, John Hab-
berton, (author OF Helen's Babies) and Mr..
Thomas White, the city editor, are men,
hers. The other members of the couuc'l
are editorial writer's on the Herald, and are
changed with such frequency that it is
unsafe to try to tell VITO they are. TIE
city staff 10 composed of a large number OF
young men who may ave ability, but who
have not been long enouga in the profea sion
to have Their ability found out. Mr.. Ben
nett is making thegreat mistake OF employ
ing cheap men, and cheap work is the nat
result. There are a dozen or more
Iaily papers which space forbids mention
iDg, and with, perhaps, the exception OF the
Graphic, they present but few salient
points of interest. The Graphic was
the first to attempt illustrated daily
journalism, and now stands at the
head in that field. 1t is, however, more OF
q literary paper than a newspaper, owes
much of its present value to Mr.. James j.
Clancy, it's editor-in-chief. The Daily News.
that wonderful little paper which is the
organ of the workingman, pays 100 per
cent. yearly on it's capital stock; the Mail
and Express, Mr.. Cyrus w. Fields journal
istic toy; the Evening Telegram, the little
.ink tail to James Gordon Benefits kite;
he Evening Post, which has practically
solved the question of how a daily paper
can be published and have influence and
make money while carefully refraing from
print e any news, are all intere ting speci-
mems il New York's journalist c museum.
i.ut to fully treat all the interesting phases
of New York journalism would require a
book rather than a single article. 1t has
beer my endeavor to refer more particu-
larry to those features of New York news
paper work and enterprise, which would be
Of special interest to the out Of town
reader. Ordinary journalism is much the
same in every city, but New York has some
unique features which l have briefly at
tempted to outline.

Herr John Most, the Anarchist, for utter
ing inlammatory speeches in the metropolis,
and melting the riots in Chicago is nov
under arrest in New York, a detailed ac-
count of which was given in the dispatches
of The MINER a few days ago. He made
his debut as an Anarchist o twenty
years ago, when he became a disciple OF the
German agitator Lasalle. Most was too
radical in his views to long follow the mod
ern teachings of his tutor, and started out
on his own hook. He Travelled much in
Saxony, addressing laboring people in the
manufacturing districts, and as Mare
Anthony melted the Roman populace to
not. SO Herr Most set on his dupes. But
his career as a blood and thunder orator
was brief. for the authorities seized him and
sent him t., jail-a place, by the way, where
Most has spent many years. After the at
te,npts made upon the life OF the Emperor
by Hoedel and MODELLING, he considered it
prudent to start in quest OF q more hosplt-
able refuge. But the authorities in Switzer-
land, Belgium, Holland and France made
haste to inform him that agitators OF his
stamp would do wise in getting across the
border, the quicker the better. Most con
Guided to give England the benefit OF his
presence. His first act was the foundation
of a revolutionary sheet intended Tor clreu-
lation ON the Continent. it's mission being
especially to undermine the German En-
pire. The publication, which he dubbed
the "Treieheit," has since achieved an 10
ternational reputation az a revolutionary
organ par excellence. The English public
did not take kindly to his teachings and
felt quite relieved when Mr.. Poland. as
Crown Prosecutor, secured his conviction
on a charge OF melting to the murder OF all
royal p~ersonages. The print was confis-.
Gated and the whole organization received
a pretty severe blow, from which it never
rallied until Most had served his time in
Milford Prison. Most finally escaped to
Americr and for several years past has
been publishing a revolutionary paper
called Treiheit. in New York, issuing COM
munistic literature and doing his best to
bring about anarchy. The particular Ian
guage uttered by Most, for which he was in
dicted. was at the meeting in Germania
Hall, New York, when he advised his hear
ers to buy rifles and use them on the police
and everybody else.

Mr.. Joseph Pulitzer, the proprietor OF the
World. is, in a great measure, responsible
for it's phen menal success. Not only his
unit ring energy, and newspaper sagacity,
bat a quality which is equally rare and
necessary, the faculty OF picking out the
b.st men to do his work. Mr.. Pulitzer is a
Hungarian; he was born in Buda-Pesth
about thirty-nine years ago, and was edu-
ceted in Vienna. He came to this country

serving through the remainder OF the war
with honor. and credit. After the var he
went to st. Louis with no capital but
brains and pluck. It was but & few years
when he had accu .hulated capital enough
to invest in newspaper property, and in
ss than sixteen years from the tine he
d started without a cent, he was able to
+. chase the World for $346,O OO. Mr..
Pull, ger shows his nervous energy in every
movement. He is courteous and genial in
his manners, quick to discern merit and
liberal 10 rewarding it. He demands for
his paper the best ~or and will
have no other. He has an amirabIe
second in Colonel John A. Cockerill, his

when MIR. Pulitzer is absent. He is quick,
cool, indefatigable, a polished, powerful

position he came to New York with Mr..

Special Correspondence of The MINER.
New YORK, May 12.-Great as they are,
the New York daiies are not the necessity
throughout the country, or beyond a natu'
raj radius of circulation, that they were a
few years ago. The time was when New
York was the recognized news, as well az
commercial center OF this country, and
ANYTHING outside Of it was sneered at as
provincial by the great body OF workers on
the m. tropolitan press. People are accus'
toned to refer to those days as the era OF
great papera and great editors, but a look
over the files show that in no department
will they compare with the papers OF to-
dsy. In news, in editorial management,
ir general appearance, the Tribune OF
Wbi,elaw Reid, or the Times OF George
Jones is a better paper than the same
sheets uader Horace Greeley or Henry j.
RAYMOND. It may seem raqk heresy to
,ay 80, but there is nothing in the files to
rove to the younger men that Greeley or
.,.vmond, or the elder Bennett, were such
Journalistic phenomenOns after all. They
were great by comparison to the lttleness
which surrounded them. Outside OF New
York there was little better than the coun-
trv ]wspap and few of them. To-day
there are dozens OF great dailies printed in
interior cities which, even the self-sufbciett
New y journalist is forced to admit,
give him a very hard tussle for the suprem-
acy. and not ~infrequently beat him.
Yet. after all there is always a certain
amount OF Importance attaching to a New
York newspaper. Journalists throughout
the country seem to regard New York as
the Ultima Thule of their ambition, and
are pretty generally willing to leave COM
fort and competence some where else Tor a
less important position here. Through
this process, in which journalists seem
drawn toward New York like. iron filings
toward q magnet, some of the good ones
have naturally remained, while the non-
accounts have dropped out Of sight. The
World, that journalistic phenomenon
which has sprung up and become great IN SO
short a space OF time that the wise ones
are at a loss what to make of it, whether
to regal I'd it a mushroom or a miracle, has
taken many OF these, and 10Y has a staff
second to no paper in this country. 1t is
not the purpose uf this article to deal with
ancient history. The World OF Manton
Marble and William Henry Hurlburt is
dead, and. in it's place stands the World of
Joseph Pulitzer and John A. Cocksrill,
Alert, pushing, aggressive, the very type
and exponent OF the civilization of to-day.
It reduces it's price and advertising rates; it
doubles it's size and circulation; it erects a
PEDESTAL for the statue of Liberty, AND
givss summer excursions to the newsboys.
In short, it advertises literally, judiciously
sensationally, and it sets the quid-nucs by
the Ears to know what it will do next.

Jones, the proprietor is a little gentleman
with a large brain and a quiet tongue. He
took control OF the Times in September,

Mr.. Charles r. Miller snd Mr.. John C. Red,

He employs al excellent class of men, and
