THE New York papers are full of disgust at the
advertising methods employed by the lately arrived
English burlesque actress. They all unite in pro-
nouncing the family scandal, the injured husband
the sporting nobeman-the whole affair, in short
an attempt to secure a vast amount OF free ndver-
tising and publicity. Now, II they see through the
game 30 plainly, why do they play 1t? II this un-
savory English party simply trying to get their
dongs published in the papers for their own profit
why do the papers publish them? Why not have
Civ en- the whole matter total silence and the public
amuch-needed rest? The wearled reader who sees
column after column day after day about the mis-
erabe affair begins to suspect that the advertising
s not 80 free as the papers represent 1t to be- 1t
difficult to understand why they should give SO
much space for nothing. and they dlsclam the fact
that 1t Is news OF any interest TO their readers. As
an Inst ance OF the usefulness Of afrontery when 1t
Is industriously employed 1t might merit passing
paragraph, hut scandal is not an original method OF
gaining publicity, nor is the presence OF an English
lord OF loose morals novelty in this country.
Neither are desirable subjects for newspaper tera-
ture, and II the New York papers have such a
wholesome dislike for the matter let them ignore

THE story that the President and Mrs. Cleveland
were "mobbed" when they attended performance
at Albaughs recently is OF those absurd fabri-
cations which amuse the readers Of newspapers, but
which give the outside world an entirely erroneous
Idea of life in Washington. When the President
and Mrs Cleveland appeared in their box there was
an outbreak OF spontaneous applause, unnecessary,
perhaps, but cordial and not inappropriate. The
President arose and gracefully bowed his acknowl-
edgment. good many eyes were turned toward
the box during the evening, as was quite natural.
After the performance the audience was thoroughly
quiet and well behaved, and there was no disagree
able Incident whatever. The respectful interest
displayed In Mrs. Cleveland ls no more than s &C.
corded to celebrities persons in high station every
where, and Of sort which could not be unpleasant
to any reasonable person.

A Indignantly false and soapdalous s,orv

A Indignantly false and scandalous story
was printed last Sunday about two Treasury
employees. The clerks in the Departments
have to endure the filings Of every cheap
penny.a.liner, who had rather invent
"spicy" paragraph out Of whole cloth than
20 without one. A thoroughly false idea Of
the character Of the persons holding clerk
ships here has been created by these reck-
less sensational writers. Those who know
anything about the Departmental service
will bear THR SUNDAY HERALD out In the
statement that its members are as well con-
Quoted as the same number Of men and
women anywhere. Indeed, they are COM
PEELED by circumstances. as a rule, to be
most circumspect. The incessant attempts
of some writer's to create different impress
sion ought to be frowned upon, especially
here in Washington, for it is the good name
of the Capital which they smirch. The pub.
lication of last Sunday was one of the most
wanton of its kind being base outrage
upon the good fame of an estimable and
hard working lady.

The Star has forcibly called attention 10
the unsatisfactory condition of the streets.
Our respected contemporary rarely misses
an opportunity to do such public services as
only an able and impartial newspaper can
do. And it,,may be doubted whether it could
find better field for its efforts than in dis
cussion of the best way ofkeeping the streets
clean. The most important point to be con-
sidered is whether the whole system upon
which 1t is now attempted 10 clean our
streets is not wrong. Surely there can
hardly be a greater nuisance than the pro.
gress through the city of the sweeping ma.
chimes, raising a whirlwind of dust of the
ilthiest description. The pretence of water
ing before the sweeping has always been a
farce, and it looks to the ordinary intelli-
gence as if far better way would be to have
the work done by hand, each man taking a
certain space, and removing the filth before
it can be scattered broadcast by the passing
vehicles. OF course if the men were to do it
in the way some public work is done, such
as moving the parks, for example-where a
dozen hands are often seen getting In
each others way, and lettering over a
job which one or two could do in the same
time-the plan would not work. The subject
is one which the authorities should consider
thoroughly, for, as the Star points out, the
streets are not now kept in the cleanly condi-
tion which they ought to exhibit.

Sensational canards begin to be promi-

contemporaries. One Of them last week
made display of the false report that the
first OF the eight-inch rihed guns constructed
at the Washington Navy Yard had burst at
Annapolis. AS 1t happened, the trial at
which the bursting was said to have occurred
had not taken place; the gun had not as yet
had chance to burst, even II II would have
done 30 much to oblige the fellows who are ly-
ing 80 desperately in the hope of discredlting
the ordnance work Of the Washington Navy

out in the newspapers periodically, ia tostop
the Government altogether from manufactur-
ing ordnance, 30 that there can be no check
upon the operations of the gun foundry ring.

The political canvass in Pennsylvania has
suddenly become of national interest. This
is due to the bold antagonism of the present
Democratic State administration 10 the great
railway combination. Governor Pattison's
letter to Attorney General Cassidy, directing
him to enforce the auti-monopoly provisions
OF the State constitution. raises the issue
squarely. The press Of the whole country
commends this letter, and indorses its de.
nunciation of the iniquitous combination to
raise the price Of such an article of prime
necessity as coal. Mr.. Chauncey +. Black,
the Democratic candidate for Governor, is the
son of the late eminent jeremiah S. Black.
whose intellectual ability he inherits, ia now
Lieutenant Governor. The people of Penn.
sylvania have an issue in regard to which
there can be no mistake. II they elect Black
and Democratic Legislature they will have a
State government which will do its utmost
to defend the true business interests of the
people against the exactions OF corporate
monopolies. The influence of the corpora.
rations will, Of course, be exerted to the
utmost to defeat Black and elect Beaver.
The result will show whether the people
care to vote as their interests dictate, or
whether they are Indifferent to every consid-
Grafton except sentimental notions Of fealty
to party. Obviously the issue as made up
has never before been SO clearly presented to
the voters Of the State, and therefore the
result in November will be looked forward to
with unusual interest.
