The constant preparation for armed con-

THE DEMENT, AFFAIR.

The Dement, affair promises to become
as famous as the Trent affair. The SEN
sation that the reported interview with
General Dement, created has scarcely
subsidized yet. The Surveyor-G General has
denied everything, and while this denial
will be accepted az the truth here, still
there remains something to clear up. A
telegram to-day says that three newspa-
per correspondents have asked permis-
sion to appear before the same Senate
committee before which General Dement,
was summoned to appear, that they may
tell what they know concerning the now
national affair. One OF these correspond
ents says that General Dement, furnished
him with the paper upon which he made
notes of the interview upon which his
dispatch was based. Here is a re-
butter OF General Dement'S denial, and
presents a specific issue. However
imaginative newspaper correspondents
may be, such imaginations do not
produce pencilled notes purporting to
give facts. Behind all this business
there is something, but what that some
thing is and how it came about cannot
now be known. The readiness OF these
correspondents to appear before Senate
committee shows that they believe they
Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1886-02-03

told the truth according to the best Of
their knowledge. People say a great
many things that they do not remember,
and newspaper correspondents often in
terview people when they don't know it.
II is the easiest thing in the world for
newspaper correspondent to interview
man when he don't know it. All cor
respondent has to do il he is travelling on
a railway or steamboat is to keep his ears
open and jot down the various remarks
he hears made. The same in hotel.
When men are formally interviewed they
are on their guard, and they either give
utterance to the merest platitudes or self
laudation. There is just one place where
men find out more than newspaper cor
respondents do, and that place is the con-
fessional. What an auxiliary it would
be to newspaper office! This Dement,
affair has probably originated in one Of
the ways mentioned above.

q" NEWS" MORALITY.

One would think from the very virtu-
GUS tone which the Nems assumes about
things in general and journalism in par
ticular that it was model of all the vir-
tues with dash OF godliness. In its issue
OF last night it strode high horse and
posed as lover OF truth and decency,
things as foreign to it as the shores OF
Asia. 1t took occasion to refer to the
DEMOCRAT as terrible example OF what
it meant by unreliable journalism The
position OF the NeUs as regards right and
wrong can be best illustrated by what
we heard a prominent Mormon say this
morning concerning that paper. He said
that 30 long as he remained in the chnrch
the Neus would stand up for him even
if he We're to do wrong, but that ii
he were to leave the church the News
would go for him in everything he
did. The man who made this remark is
well known in the community, and as the
saying goes, he knows the News like u
book He characterized the NeWs as
being the counterpart OF the Tribune.
If the DEMOCRAT errs at times, it errs
unintentionally and not through design.
The very reverse lis the case with the
News. What it lacks in any respect it
makes up with venality. Its course dur.
ing the years 1889 is sufficient to prove
this. That il had the sanction OF it,
church authorities for its course during
those years is true. This paper has never
sought to emulate the graphic descrip-
tions OF the News in telling OF court pro-
ceedings, and it is safe to say there is not
another paper in America that could ol
would have published such an obscene
account OF any occurrence rs the News
account OF the Lewis case before Justice
Spiers. When the Net0s' account oi tha
case is remembered, we are forced t,
think that it i'll becomes the Neps t.

point to other journals to illustrate that
feature OF journalism which so char
acterizes the columns of the Neps. The
"Junius" letters Of the Neaps would serve
exceedingly well as an illustration Of the
lowest type of obscene literature. But
why seek to prove about the Necs what
everybody admits?

The Louisville and Nashville Scoop.
IBPAOIAL TO THE APPEAL.l

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, August 27.-In-
formation received here today from a
Louisville and Nashville source con-
firms the reports Of its scoop Of the
Georgia Central, but denies that
the Goodwater extension to this
city is to be stopped. From another
high quarter in another direction,
however, comes the news that the
Savannah, Dublin and Birmingham
people, who are evidently in earnest
about building the road from Savannah
to Birmingham, are now looking
mainly to an alliance with the Kansas
City Company, which is tooinotorious-
ly well fixed" to be cut of from here
by anybody. The Baltimore and Ohio
management has offered all the money
needed for the Baltimore, Birming-
ham and Gulf road from here to Dali
ton, Ga, to meet the Baltimore and
Ohio line from Salem, Va, and the
talk now is that the Pennsylvania pro-
poses to meet this southwark move OF
it's great rival by capturing the East
Tennessee system.

carriages or in heavy, loaded carts and
wagons and for the residents on the
streets, and l am Of opinion that,
while the cost OF repair of asphalt un-
der heavy traffic would be much
greater than such cost in this city at
present, considering the saving in
cleanliness, comfort and health to
man and the saving in cost OF horse
flesh and OF repairs Of wheels and
springs, it viii be worth while
to lay down strong, asphalt
surface, concrete pavement for your
heaviest traffic and to compare its
first cost and its actual annual cost for
repairs and renewal with the cost and
duration of your present street pave
ments, and that it is proper that, tax
ing into account the saving of horse
flesh, of wear and tear OF all vehicles,
and of b5dy and mind, it will be found
best to adopt the asphalt pavement
generally.
1t will be necessary to make further
renewals of the wearing surface. But
this is cheap. Any Philadelphia block

lieve that it can be done without

Here the usual foundation is six
inches OF concrete OF hydraulic cement,
sand and broken stone. Possibly, in
Philadelphia, there might be streets
which would need twelve inches OF
such foundation, we'll set, before being
opened to traffic. But, in the end, l
