1T DEPENDS

At the incarceration of a deceased Jour
nalist in New York Dr. Felix Adler pro-
nounced the eulogy, in which he said:
The profession of journalism is favorable to
independent thinking. The journalist sees
humanity in all its varied aspects. To him are
unbared the vices and virtues of the COM
munlty. To him are disclosed the vices, hol-
lowness and insincerity of many whom the
world eSteems great, and the virtues that often
flourish in most unpromlsing localities His
experience tends 70 emaneipate HIM.
This is all very fine, and we are not dis
posed to say it is wholly untrue. There
are other vocations that initiate men quite
as much into the mysteries and follies and
virtues and weakness of humanity. How
is it with the physician? Who sees
human nature under more trials than he,
or views it in more varied phases? Jour
nalism ought to emancipate its pupils from
narrowness, illiberalisrl and uncharitable-
ness, and it often does. But it does not do
it in all cases. Very often it confirms
them in prejudices. hardens their sensi-
bilities, and makes them distrustful and
ungracious. So, too, while it broadeus the
views of many of its followers, it also gives
Others such an exalted idea of importance
ehat they are scorned and pitied By self

SEVERAL of the San Francisco journals,
in the craze to Guido each other in sensa-
tionalism, have hit upon the plan of rudely
illustrating local accidents. Thus, one
presents shockingly coarse picture of a
woman whose brutal husband crushed her
head with an ak. The victim is repre-
sented as she is supposed to appear in the
hospital, and Is made out to be a horribly
ghastly object. Another, not to be out
done in making newspapers chambers Of
horrors, gives us view of a laborer
crushed to death by cave in sewer. 1t
Is, 50 long as society viii endure it, the
right of these papers to thus make their
pages repulsiye. But it would seem that

RAILROAD Notes.-The San Francisco

C. P. Huntington's new line, the Newport

things nearly all its own way so far as

ropean ports and the Pacific coast is con-

freight to and from the Southwest II
makes lower rates than the other routes,
and low rates capture the business every
time. So far as can be learned Chairman
Leeds of The Transcontinental Association,
has made no selection of assistants. This
is taken as sign that be has small faith in

Assistant Superintendent Pratt, of the
Southern Pacific, says that no person was
seriously injured by the late accident near
Sumner.
The testimony in the trial of Clara Belle

1t is again reported that number of con-

and Collector Hager is on the lookout for
them.
The rumor that has attracted considera-

various stables in the city was thoroughly
investigated by a call reporter and found to
be without foundation whatever.

Mr.. JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL, whose
scholarly abilities none will deny, is never
theless not the best Judge of men on earth.
Here he is saying at free trade banquet
in Boston: Personally, | confess that |

land as the best representative of the
highest type Of Americanism that we have
seen since Lincoln was snatched from US"
Indeed In what category would Mr..
Lowell place Seward, Garfield, Grant, and
host of those who have moved over into
the unknown? How does Mr.. Cleveland
rise superior in the judgment and esteem
of the American people to such men as
Sherman, Conkling, Edmunds, Bayard, and
a score of others, in politics, letters, philan-
thropy and nationalism, of greater brain,
larger purpose, and of unquestioned devo-
ton to the Republic and humanity? We
have no disposition to question Mr.. Cleve-
lands motives in his Presidential career,
or to deny him any credit that is his due !;
he has had remarkable rise and is man
Of strong purpose but when we are asked
to rank this fortunate citizen, new to
political life, unknown in craftsmanship,
and ofno lofty intellectual power, with the
grand army of strong Americans, who are
" of the highest type of Americanism,n we
object. When we are asked to unbonnet
before Mr.. Cleveland as the peer of Lin
coin, and the first since his time fit to be
ranked with him, we protest. Mr.. Lowells
wine went to his head, or else his poetic
imagination lead him into post prandial
exaggeration, which in his better moments.
we doubt not, he does penance for in the

Mr.. Mofatt, of Michigan, who recently

of the Democracy in the special election
to fill Mr.. Mofiatts place is therefore easy

1t does seem, at this distance, that the
smallpox epidemic in San Francisco is be-
ing badly fought. Should such misfor-
tune of disease befall this city, we think
the municipality would not be compelled
to resort to a tent, upon public square,
for receiving hospital. Nor do we be-
lieve that while health officials slept and
breakfasted, victims, fevered with the dis
ease, would be compelled to remain upon
the sidewalk in the early, frosty air Nor
do we believe that if Sacramento had to
do battle with such an epidemic, that
nurses or physicians from the pest-house
would be allowed to come daily upon the
public streets, and mingle freely with the
people. Nor would it be at all likely that
from a quarantined house an inmate would
be allowed to escape and appear before the
Health Board and argue claim for dam
ages, and not even be returned to his quar-
tiers. Yet all these things have occurred
in San Francisco, and though the press has
protested it does not seem to have effected
a complete reform of management.

ACCORDING to the Washington tele-
graphic correspondent of the San Fran
cisco Examiner, the issue is about to be
squarely made on the tariff question. The
Democracy will divide, with Mr.. Randall
in opposltion-or, as the correspondent
puts it, Mr.. Randall "will insult the
President and endeavor to defeat his
party" Evidently the Democracy does
not propose to recognize the right of free
dom of opinion, and Mr.. Randall is to be
punished with the party lash for asserting
it. The same correspondent AYERS that it
is now determined that the Democratic
party, as party measure, will insist upon
wool, lumber, coal, salt and most raw ma
terials-excepting sugar-being placed
upon the free list. This is stale news.

Mr.. WELLS, in the Popular Science
Monthly, holds that the decline in prices
since 1878 has been due to over-produc-
ton. In sense this is true Where pro-
duction advances out of proportion to the
growth of the consuming element, de-
cline in prices follows. But Mr.. Wells
charges that the rule applies to wheat
production since 1873. The fact is, the
production of that cereal here and in
Europe has net nearly kept pace with
population-that is, it is greatly less now
in proportion than it was in 1877, for in
stance. In some parts of the world wheat
growing has advanced out of proportion,
but those parts have not entered into any
serious competition with other wheat
growing districts. and, as compared to the
whole wheat-growing region, constitute
but mere fraction of it.

ERNST PAssART, a distinguished Ger
man tragedian, and a Professor in the
Royal Academy of Arts in Munich, was
married the other day in New York for
the third time, but to the same woman.
His is an experience not many divorced
men can equal. The couple, after ten
years married life, were divorced upon the
application of the wife, who was jealous of
admiration of her husband by other wo-
men. After two years of separation Anna
Deinet Passart became reconeiled to Ernst,
whom she had never ceased to love, and
they were again married in 1874. Ten
years more they lived happily, when, for
reasons they keep to themselves, they were
divorced again, and Madame Passart and
her daughter came to New York to reside
with her brother Recently the tragedian.
who had never ceased to love Anna, came
to America to fill an important engage
ment. To show him fair courtesy the wife
and daughter called upon him. The result
was that on the last day of 1887 the di-
vorced couple were married for the third
time. These two were at once more sensi-
bic and more silly than most married folks
who quarrel and separate. They have
demonstrated that love may outlive the
divorce Court, that constancy may survive
the law, and that silly quarrels may sepa-
rate hearts that should be united. The
circumstances Of their separations and re-
unions illustrate the ease with which de-
crees of divorce may be procured in both
America and Europe. They both agree
that there was really never any sufficient
cause-anger and folly being put aside
for their separations. If, now, the laws OF
the several countries where the knot was
cut, prohibited re-marriage by divorced
people. at least by the alleged offender, it
is unlikely that Herr Passart and his wife,
both being highly cultivated and affection
ate, would have ever been separated.
Indeed, it is not concealed that the hope OF
reunion was secretly entertained by each,
and was never lost, and really smoothed
the path to enforcement that ought to be
rough and uninviting This in itself is a
sad commentary upon the systems of laws
regarding the domestic relations. Limit
the opportunity for separation, and when
it is granted attach the penalty of celebacy,
and there will be fewer prayers for DEGREES
of divorce.

MosT people look upon Maine as a
more notable ship building State than any
lake State can possibly be. But Cleveland
puts in claim for Ohio that, according to
the Leader and Herald, is complete de-
feat of Names claim to the title. 1t APP
pears that Ohio last year built more ton
mage at Cleveland than was constructed by
the entire State of Maine. The shipyards
of Maine in 1887 turned out forty-one
vessels with total measurement of H.
454 tons. At Cleveland seventeen vessels
were built, aggregating net tonnage of
1881 tons. Of the Maine product thirty
FIVE were sailing craft, and but five had
measurement exceeding 1000 tons. But
of the seventeen vessels built at Cleve-
land sixteen were steamers, and only four
were Of less than 1000 tons measurement.
Any one out of six of the sixteen Cleve-
land steamers had greater tonnage than
that Of all six of the Maine steamers.
More than this, the Ohio vessels cost a
good deal more in proportion to their
size, and three of them were built of steel.
The school boy if asked to turn over his
geography and ascertain what are leading
industries of Maine and Ohio respectively,
will reply that Maine is noted for its ship
building, but he will not find that credit
is given to the inland State of Ohio for
ship-building industry of much value.
The truth is that the importance of the
commerce and marine service of the Great
Lakes is not really so generally under
stood away from the lakes as it should be-
Yet Ohio is by 10 means the leader of the
lake States in ship-building At least
three other States probably surpass her.
But it will certainly be revelation to
most people to learn that the Buckeye
State takes the broom" from the Pine
Tree State in the matter of building
vessels for commerce.
